TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; 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, [3051], present in this room.
3. Now, in analyzing disturbances that occur in this body, there are many things to be taken into consideration.
4. Because there is a tendency towards a complication, do not understand or interpret it to mean that there are a whole lot of things which disturb the body that can't be corrected! Neither should the body get the idea that, "Well, maybe they'll clear up themselves." For, rather, there are tendencies and inclinations. And these, as we find, are brought on by very definite disturbances in the body. They partake both of the mental and the physical reactions.
5. Though the source of the disturbances is of the pathological or purely physical nature, the reactions do disturb the mental AND physical coordinations in the physical body.
6. These, then, are disturbances as we find them with this body, [3051], present in this room:
7. First, in the blood supply - while there are some superficial disturbances that are causing a distress to the circulation, these need only the palliatives that may remove the acute superficial condition. Any good lotion would be well for the sunburn; such as soda water, or any application that would act as a balm, in the forms of some characters of oils that remove the fire from the affected areas - such as Glyco-Thymoline.
8. But the general blood flow - the sources or causes or basic disturbances are of a glandular nature. Thus they partake of sympathetic reactions that have to do with the power of suggestive forces in the body, as well as the functioning of organs themselves.
9. Thus we find these reactions in varied conditions that exist with the body; besides that acute condition, a general reaction that indicates the lack of proper coordination of the eliminating systems, or the lack of proper coordinating in the superficial and the deep circulation to all the organs of the sensory system, as well as those that act as a reflex upon the assimilating bodies, - in the functioning of heart, liver, lungs and kidneys.
10. These being the central blood supply, they each in their return of activity in the exercising of those centers through the body, bring those experiences in the lack of vitality, the lack of applying or absorbing from that assimilated that necessary to create the more perfect balance in the body-forces.
11. We do not find indicated a humor in the blood, nor that it is over-impoverished, or that it carries too much of fats; but rather that there exists the unbalanced condition - which according to a physicist's examination would indicate the lack of coordinant activity in impulse for the reactions and the actual facts that take place in the dominant forces of the body's activities.
12. In the nerve forces we find quite a variation as to their natural reaction, as to the expression of same in the sensory organs of the body, as well as in the eliminations, the locomotion, and the impulses that would become involuntary or voluntary reactions through nerve systems of the body. Also we find the disturbances that are natural from an upsetting of the equilibrium between the superficial circulation and the deeper organic reaction. These are indicated through nerve tensions.
13. As to the activity of the organs themselves, - we find that the abilities for discernments are indicated, and the proper coordinating and reacting to determined rules of activity. Yet these at times, through the suggestive forces of the subconscious as well as the conscious reactions, bring disputations in self as to whether this or that would be the best course to pursue.
14. These also find the ability to draw from impoverishment to the assimilated forces, by an unbalanced condition throughout the body.
15. Then, in indicating that which we find would not only correct but eliminate the disturbing conditions in the body-physical, - these we would suggest for this body:
16. First begin with those elements that are needed for the purifying of the glandular system and for the eliminating of poisons from the system - as these tend to increase or to segregate or to bring these disturbing factors to their reflective or relative reactions in the physical body.
17. These we would take in the form of ATOMIDINE. Take one minim (one drop) each morning before breakfast, in half a glass of water, for five days.
18. Leave it off one day.
19. Then take two drops each morning for five days.
20. THEN - not before - begin with hydrotherapy applications, and at a period when there would not be too much interference with the body carrying these through for the period of at least eight or nine weeks.
21. Each hydrotherapy treatment should include a mild sweat followed by a Fume Bath, using a teaspoonful and a half of Witchhazel for the Fumes that would settle over the body while in the Cabinet.
22. Follow the fume Bath with a needle shower, or the hot and cold shower; then a nice, or thorough, rubdown; using - for the massage - three parts Russian White Oil (or Nujol, or Usoline) to one part of Oil of Pine Needles. Begin at the area between the first cervical area and the 3rd dorsal, especially; though, in every other treatment, do have the relaxing from the first cervical to the end of the spine.
23. When giving these massages, pay attention to the bursa of the feet, ankles, under knee, and across the lower portion of the back.
24. These we would take for at least nine to ten treatments. One a week should be sufficient.
25. And thus we will find we will eliminate sources of disturbance.
26. Do not confuse this by saying "We will take part and the other doesn't have to be done." Either take it all or don't take any!
27. Have the two weeks of purifying the body, first; THEN begin the hydrotherapy treatments.
28. And let the chemical changes that are wrought be provided by the foods, rather than by supplementing even by certain vitamins, especially through the warm weather; for these are much better assimilated from the foods themselves.
29. Keep a balance by the use of those diets as related to the body. Thus, the activities here would be mostly the leafy vegetables, leafy fruits also - or those that are full of the energizing forces that are in the correct combination for building resistances in the body.
30. After the thorough cleansing through the eliminations as indicated, do take those things that add to the abilities of the body to store energy. Thus, in the application of such, follow a very definite outline - that may be made by self - in its relationships to the spiritual, mental and physical being of the body.
31. Do those things, consistently, and we will find we will bring the better forces for this body, eliminating much that in the present does cause anxiety physically, that produces at times that which becomes physically a reaction not desirable by the body.
32. And apply these in the life, in the dealings with others; keeping that faith in Him, who is the source of light, life and immortality. And we will find we will bring bettered conditions for the body.
33. For these applications we would use such an one as Reilly.
34. Ready for questions.
35. (Q) What will relieve the eyestrain?
    (A) First, a purifying of the glandular forces; then the abilities of the body to assimilate, as provided with the massage especially as indicated in the upper or central cervicals, extending to the areas indicated, should remove the eyestrain. This is more of a reflex nature, not as of the imagination - no. For, definite urges are aroused, and thus confusion to the reactions occurs.
36. (Q) Will I be able to leave off glasses then?
    (A) After there have been at least three or four of the first series of the osteopathic treatments, - that is, the relaxings that are to take place at every other hydrotherapy treatment, - leave off the glasses; and we will find there will not be the necessity for returning to them for years yet. For, you have a job to do! You have an opportunity in thy spiritual and mental life. Use same. Don't use such opportunities as excuses, or as something to gloat over, to glory about. The GLORY is to God, then the honor will be to self.
37. (Q) How may I eliminate stiffness in back of neck and joints?
    (A) This, as indicated, is from the lack of coordination between superficial and deeper circulation. The massages, following the purifying forces, will eliminate this - after the first of the hydrotherapy treatments.
38. (Q) How can I eliminate the buzz in my ears, caused by catarrhal condition?
    (A) This is a part of the general disturbance. There's a great deal less catarrhal condition than there is incoordination between superficial and deeper circulation. And as equilibrium is established by purification of the glandular forces, by the second or third of the massages or the hydrotherapy and massage treatments, we should find this disappearing. First there will be the feeling, "It doesn't hurt as much as it used to." Then, "Well, it's come back again - I don't know whether it's any good or not!" Then, if you will follow it on out, well, "I've forgotten I ever had it!"
39. (Q) Have trouble with the gums bleeding, and the lower left bridge?
    (A) When these purifications are brought about, these conditions will disappear.
    For local disturbance, use Ipsab as a massage for gums; using this just three times a week. Then use any good dentifrice, preferably that of the same combinations of Ipsab, but without the iodine in same - Ipana.
40. (Q) Receding of gums in upper right side? eye tooth?
    (A) Just as given - use the Ipsab.
41. (Q) Migraine?
    (A) This is from the incoordination between superficial and deeper circulation. We have covered this. If these things indicated will be done, we will rid the body of these conditions.
    Do that.
42. (Q) What should be done to improve the menstrual periods?
    (A) All of these have been covered in that indicated here.
    Do these things, and we will find - by the second or third - the body will feel a great deal better. But keep these up for at least six to eight - that is, that means that many weeks of taking these, in succession, you see.
    And keep cool - that doesn't mean physically, but mentally. And ye will see the glory of the Lord. But use that strength that is given thee as a helpful force to others. It will satisfy, and bring contentment - though never be satisfied with the conditions about self. Be content, but never merely satisfied.
    Do these.
43. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 4/05/43 [3051]'s letter:
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   I wrote to you last week for Pamphlets so that I could write out the orders for my readings.
   Mrs. [2982] knowing it was urgent for an early reading is bringing a blank to me tomorrow when I meet her in the city. To save time I have written out the questions not knowing whether I am complying with the demands or not but I hope so.
   Question eleven is the one which I am being pressed with for time. I have someone that will take over my lease in our present apartment but they want to know as soon as possible since if mine may not be available to them they would renew the lease on the one they have. There is also another party interested in the house my husband would like to buy.
   I have referred this question on our next move to my subconscious and also prayed for guidance and still not knowing what to do believe you are my answer to my prayer. In that case your information can't come to me too late.
   I have also been working on my eyes and elimination and feel that I have been guided to you for the final demonstration of bringing forth my basic perfection. So you can imagine how happy I am. I feel both my letters an imposition but am leaving it all in Divine hands and I know justice will be done.
   You will let me know how much the readings are and I will send you a check. Mrs. [2982] paid you for the pamphlets thinking that would hurry them and I have paid her.
   I seem to have an age complex being six months older than my husband so if there is any way in which you can answer my readings without ages or dates I'd appreciate it. In that case I'd be able to show them to any friends that are interested.
   Thanking you for whatever you may be able to do [3051]
   My husband's name is [3436] and he was born July 1, 1898 in New York City. I didn't know if you'd need this to answer any of my questions or not. Please recommend N.Y. doctor that can carry out instructions in my reading.
