TEXT

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:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3058].
As we find, there are disturbing conditions that prevent the better physical functioning of the body.
These have to do with the disturbances from the tubercle, - the condition that is advanced in the lung, - and the more serious disturbance is the effect being produced in the activity of the liver and kidneys, from this infection.
Because of lack of certain elements in the body, these naturally break down the organs that are becoming involved in their functioning.
While those administrations that have been and that are being made are tended to give strength, and in some directions do, we find that they are not allaying the activity of the infection. And the disturbance in the organs is becoming more serious, though some of the conditions through the lung are aided.
These are to be met, if there would be help for this body at this time.
The blood indicates how the infection is being distributed through the system, which is indicated in the conditions of elimination - by the activity of the kidneys, and the temperature that varies daily.
While choices must be made by the body itself, as we find, this altitude is NOT the best. These environs in the present are NOT the best.
If the body would be taken to such an environment as would be found in the mountains of North Carolina, this variation in itself would help.
These would be the administrations also to be made:
Do have prepared a charred oak keg, at least a gallon and a half or two gallon keg. Prepare so that the fumes of Apple Brandy may be inhaled, not the brandy itself but the fumes from same inhaled into the lungs. Keep this where evaporation will take place, but keep it tightly corked. Put in the gallon and a half or two gallon keg at least a gallon of Pure Apple Brandy. Fix in one end two holes, one so the air may enter, the other with a tube that the body may inhale. Do not take too large an inhalation in the beginning. This will act as an antiseptic and will be carried through the whole of the circulation. Do not let the tube enter the liquid, to be sure, but only the space above the liquid in the keg.
Do take ACIGEST EACH DAY - for this is what is lacking in the activity of the assimilation, as well as for the strengthening of blood supply. Take a teaspoonful each day in a glass of raw milk, this preferably still warm with the animal heat when the Acigest is put in same, and stirred, allowed to stand for three to five minutes and then drink.
Do take daily a small quantity of calcium, preferably in the form of CALCIOS, just the quantity as would be spread lightly upon a whole wheat cracker - and eat the cracker with same.
Twice each day give two teaspoonsful of beef juice; this to be sipped, not taken in gulps, but let the body be at least two minutes in sipping a teaspoonful, - one teaspoonful of morning and one in the afternoon.
Do have gentle rubs daily, when prepared for rest of evening.
Keep the body quiet, but do prepare the body, with the bathing or sponging off, and then massage the spine, the whole length of same, with a combination of two parts Peanut Oil and one part Oil of Pine Needles. The absorption of these will aid in preventing the disturbance with eliminations, as well as aid in the activity of the kidneys, and alleviate the distresses of tiredness to the body.
In the foods, - have plenty of butter, whole or brown bread, chicken - preferably not too often fried, but eat the bony pieces rather than the breast or the like; such as the thigh or drumstick, or wing, or the back and the neck, the head, the bony pieces - and chew well. These should be prepared preferably of the small chicken, and not too large.
Not so much of acids, other than the properties indicated; that is, no raw foods covered with vinegar or the like.
Beets and beet tops, carrots - these cooked preferably with peas.
Occasionally - once a week - do prepare for the body the Jerusalem artichoke. This should be cooked in its own juices. Prepare same, then, in Patapar Paper, and when seasoning do not lose the juices, but eat these too. This will aid in alleviating those disturbances that are indicated in the pancreas activity, and the action of the circulation between lungs, liver and kidneys, and especially that between liver and kidneys.
Do these, and we will find this body, [3058], will respond.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Any particular place in North Carolina?
(A) Any place so it is in the edge of the mountains. Close to Asheville would be well. There are institutions there for such.
(Q) What is condition of his lungs?
(A) As indicated. While the activity in lungs is not so serious, the disturbance to the liver and kidneys is more serious.
(Q) Sinus, throat, digestive tract?
(A) All of these show the effect more of the inflammation, from the active tubercle, see?
Do these things, and we will find bettered conditions for this body, [3058].
(Q) Is he losing ground in the present?
(A) As we find, and as indicated, there are periods when he is losing ground, because of the variation in infection. The breaking down and softening of the kidney is the more serious, and this will extend to liver - as well as produce greater temperature and more activity in lungs.
Do change - but the choice must be made by the body.
We are through for the present.
Two copies to Mrs. [...]
Copy to Ass'n file
(See drawing [which was enclosed] to illustrate type of charred keg for inhaling fumes of Apple Brandy. Obtain pure Brandy, not Applejack. Hildick's Apple Brandy is about the purest that may be obtained. See directions [which were enclosed] for preparing Pure Beef Juice.
ACIGEST and CALCIOS are both distributed by The Colloidal Health Products Corp., attention, A. A. Nichoson, Greenvale, Long Island, N.Y. Acigest is hydrochloric acid in a form easily assimilated, and sells for one dollar a bottle. Take only as indicated. CALCIOS is a syrupy paste that sells for $2.50 a jar - it contains free calcium, in a form most easily assimilated.
If unable to obtain Jerusalem artichokes on the market, they may be ordered direct from The John A. Salzer Seed Co., LaCross, Wisconsin. These may be preserved by burying them in the ground, rather than in the ice box - or buy them in a flower pot, or the like, that would be protected from dogs or cats digging them up. It may be that you can find them growing in some vicinities, and can have access to the fresh artichoke right from the garden.)

BACKGROUND

4/21/43 Wife's letter: "My husband is in Saranac, improving somewhat, according to the laboratory tests, but much too slowly for a man in his early forties, a useful citizen, capable of constructive leadership in his village and business."
6/15/43 Questions submitted:
1. What is the condition of his lungs, general urinary system, sinus, throat, digestive tract, intestines? 2. Where is the best place for him to be, considering all his difficulties? 3. What can be done to help him the most? 4. What ultimate result can we expect? 5. Is there general improvement or is he losing ground?
6/24/43 Physical Reading was given for daughter, [3057].

Dear Mr. Cayce:
In the absence of Mrs. [...] who was called suddenly to Mississippi I beg to acknowledge receipt of your readings for my daughter [3057] and me [3058]. I am confident that we will find constructive help in these readings.
As soon as my wife and I discuss them together we no doubt shall communicate further with you.
In the meantime please accept my gratitude for your cooperation in fitting us into your heavy schedule.
Faithfully yours, [3058]
