TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - same environ.
3. We have the body here, [3119]; this we have had before.
4. Much improvements we find indicated with this body. There needs only be continued those applications that have been outlined. Not too much exercise, if the oil rubs are given - and these we would keep up.
5. And with the continual expressions of hope, expectancy for the mind of this unfolding mind and body, there will be brought results here beyond compare.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) What amount of massages should be given in addition to tendon stimulation and exercises advocated by Sister Kenny and the peanut oil given in the reading? Should a deeper massage be given, for the leg, as desired by Miss Rhoder, the health department technician?
   (A) We haven't Sister Kenny - we have the body here and that which will be best for it. These are well. We would give at least twenty to thirty minutes of massage with the oils; gently, not straining, but massaging into tendons, muscles, feet, ankle, calf of leg, knee, hip, back, shoulders, arms - all of these should be stimulated.
8. (Q) Is pool and ocean bathing advisable? (which is against Sister Kenny's advice)
   (A) It is advisable under proper conditions; not in this environ.
9. (Q) Shall we stress any particular foods or other vitamins to help the condition?
   (A) Stress the tendon and muscular building foods. Gelatins, and marrow in any form, would be excellent foods for the body.
10. (Q) Any other suggestions?
    (A) Do keep the mind expectant - as to what it will do with its abilities for activity. What activities, what exercises are desired? It can be a good football player if it likes! It can play baseball if it likes! These expectancies! Build such. No massage or other application is as important as the suggestion builded by self. "Who shall I tell that sent me? I AM - THAT I AM!"
11. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 10/16/43 EC's letter to [3119]'s father [3211]: "I wouldn't allow [3119] to keep the Appliance on too long, for it can do harm by overstimulating, but keep close to the suggestions given."

REPORTS

1. 3/26/46 [3119]'s father [3221]'s letter to A.R.E.: "I am very anxious to get a copy of [3119]'s second reading as I would like to see the diet therein in detail. His right leg seemed to be getting along beautifully until about six weeks ago when we began to notice a little shortening in the limb. Ever since Mr. Cayce passed on, we stopped using the battery as it cannot be controlled."
2. 12/15/50 [3119]'s father [3211]'s report to A.R.E.: "A word about [3119]. While his leg is improving right along, he still needs small crutches to help him walk. We hope and pray he will come through o.k."
