TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time; go over the body carefully, examine it thoroughly, with special reference to the nervous system, the glandular system, and the blood stream; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: YES - we have the body here, [3024].
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions which prevent the better physical functioning with this body. These are rather a complication of disturbances.
4. But with the toning of the system to a better vibratory reaction, we find that many of those disturbances that are so aggravating to the body at times should disappear.
5. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [3024] we are speaking of:
6. The blood supply indicates that there is incoordination between the eliminating and assimilating systems; and thus a very poor coordination in the eliminating channels of the body.
7. Thus the upsetting of these is primarily from the irritation existing between centers where sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems are supposed to coordinate more closely. And this reaction produces the glandular disturbance, rather than the glandular condition being the source.
8. For, as may be indicated, there are small "burrs" in the certain centers, in portions of the ganglia of the nerve plexus that should coordinate; and examination would show these to be quite sensitive.
9. Thus these reactions are produced in the body:
10. Quite often there is the upsetting after a meal; one time it may be as some feeling of a bloating, at another a great deal of gas in the lower portion of the abdomen, and usually the sick headache results from same. There may be at other periods no apparent reaction in the alimentary canal, save a fullness in the very low portion of the abdomen; but severe headaches that are changeable. They may be in the base of the brain or in the temple.
11. Then again we find a great deal of irritation through the organs of the pelvis, or through the limbs, ankles and feet; with catches, at other times, under the knee.
12. All of these are effects that may arise; bad taste in the mouth at times; inability to sleep regularly at times.
13. All of these are the effects of this incoordination.
14. As to the activity upon the organs of the body, we find there is the great variation.
15. Not a great deal of trouble that may be called of an organic nature, but most of the organs, - heart, liver, lungs and kidneys, are involved at times sympathetically.
16. In making for a helpful force for this body, we find:
17. There should be a series of hydrotherapy treatments. These should include, at least during the first series, one or two colonic irrigations, but of this nature: Have the water body temperature, using to the gallon of water a level teaspoonful of soda and a heaping teaspoonful of salt. In the rinse waters use at least two tablespoonsful of Glyco-Thymoline. These should be about ten days apart, you see, - the colonics.
18. Each week the general hydrotherapy treatment should include a Fume Bath, rather than the Dry Heat. In the Fume use Witchhazel. This should be followed with the needle spray, or the hot and cold water spray; then the thorough rubdown with an equal combination of Peanut Oil and Olive Oil.
19. And as the body rests, apply the mild electrical vibration of the violet ray; this a low form, but all along the spine, especially in the 3rd cervical, 2nd and 3rd dorsal, 9th dorsal, and lumbar axis. Use rather the hand machine violet ray (bulb applicator), and massage these areas with the bulb, you see; following this with a massage with the fingers or hands, in a rotary motion, along with the violet ray treatment, see? which should not be given longer than three minutes - the violet ray.
20. At least once a week give - by self - a douche; one week using (for the vaginal douche, you see) two teaspoonsful of Glyco-Thymoline to the quart of water, body temperature; and the next week using a teaspoonful of Atomidine to the quart and a half of water. Use only a Fountain Syringe. Only use the Atomidine every other week, but the Glyco-Thymoline may be used twice between the Atomidine douches, see? It would be preferable, in fact, to use the Glyco-Thymoline douche twice to one of the Atomidine douche; but alternate these, giving at least once each week, and sometimes twice of the Glyco-Thymoline, see?
21. In the diet have plenty of fruit juices and fruits and nuts. Not a great deal of meat.
22. Include sea foods at least twice or three times a week, of all kinds; even the combinations, here, are good for the body.
23. Plenty of exercise, though not too rigid; keeping in the open and in the sunshine as much as practical.
24. Do that.
25. Ready for questions.
26. (Q) Would it benefit me to have the rest of my teeth extracted?
    (A) Not necessarily, though this may be necessary unless there is a great deal of change in the general nervous forces of the body.
    Keep the correct mental attitude; be not only good but good FOR definite, special purposes. For, each soul has its own duty to perform to others. Be a channel of blessing to someone.
27. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 3/01/43 See friend's reading 2934-1, Par. 51-A in re their past associations in Jerusalem.
2. 5/12/43 Mrs. [3024]'s ltr. to EC:
   Mr. Edgar Cayce Association for Research & Enlightenment Inc. Virginia Beach, Virginia
   My Dear Mr. Cayce:-
   Your appointment for May 26th., 10:30 to 11:30 AM E.W.T. or 7:30 to 8:30 Pacific time, is satisfactory to me. I am really very grateful to have this appointment knowing how many demands you have on your time and what a very wonderful service you are performing. I shall be in my bedroom lying down on my bed.
   Please go over my physical body, the nervous system, glandular system and the blood stream. I should like to ask the following questions -
   1. What may be the cause of sick headaches from which I have suffered most of my life? 2. Would a diet help this condition? 3. Are the high colonics beneficial (Gordon Detoxifier)? 4. What might cause a very sensitive condition of the membrane of the vagina? 5. Can you suggest a treatment to relief [relieve] this? 6. Would it be of benefit to me to have the rest of my teeth extracted? 7. What might cause the frequent strained and sore condition in the lower spinal region? 8. Would you suggest a treatment? 9. Are the Electric Vapor Treatments as given by Mrs. Madeline Long of benefit to me?

REPORTS

1. 6/11/43 Mrs. [3024]'s ltr. to EC:
   My Dear Mr. Cayce:-
   The physical reading you made for me came very promptly and I want to thank you for it. I think probably it is the best diagnosis I ever had made and I shall try to follow your recommendations to the letter. I may not be able to take all the hydro-therapy treatments at the present but I shall follow them up as soon as I return home.
   My mother had a stroke and I came to California to take care of her for the summer. Late in the summer I have planned to go from here to be with my only daughter who is to have her first child in October. Her home is in ..., Nebraska. It may be late in November before I actually get back to ... It is one of those times in my life when plans seem to have been made for me and I am but the instrument. My family are all so sweet and cheerful and so appreciative that it is a joy to do things for them. I expect that I shall be very busy, very much confined but I am learning a great many useful things.
   Thank you very much for your interest, your consideration and your helpfulness. I appreciate them. I know that you are extremely busy and I do not want you to feel that you must answer this.
   Most sincerely yours, [3024]
2. 1/06/44 Letter: "First I want to tell you that I have been feeling so much better since having my reading and having the satisfaction of knowing the real basis of the trouble. The treatments I have taken have helped." [She then requested a Physical Rdg. for her baby grandson - appointment for which was later cancelled due to EC's illness, etc.]
3. 9/05/49 She contributed to fund for preparing the readings, saying: "Dr. D. D. Fitch [N.D.] from whom I have taken some treatments is very much interested in the Ass'n. In fact he has been following my Cayce reading in his treatments."
