TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3281].
2. As we find, there are conditions that prevent the better physical functioning of the body. These have to do with the assimilations and eliminations of the body and the effect that has been produced on the locomotories in the body.
3. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body:
4. The blood supply is very good considering conditions, yet there are disturbances in same produced mostly by those administrations in the attempt to increase circulation in varied portions of the body. This gives at times some irregularity to the heart's activity, though not an organic nor even a sympathetic condition, but a condition pre-imposed by the activities in the system. This has not, however, increased the circulation to the lower extremities; as there are existent in the nerve system those obstructions that in a measure, with that alteration in the ability of the assimilations to produce the ganglia reaction in the extremities, prevent sufficient of the lymph and the emunctory reactions in the joints to produce the elasticity in the ends of the tendons and the muscles of the limbs.
5. This obstruction, as we find, exists in the sacro-ileac plexus. This, as we find, must be considered when administrations would be made for beneficial conditions for the body.
6. Also in the nerve forces, with the pressures produced through the area from the 9th dorsal downward, we find that when the body sits for a long period it becomes as one disturbed by pressures throughout the body. When the body reclines, these become aggravating principles as to become heavy, leaden, aching feeling through the limbs, the knees, the ankles, the calf portion of the leg. All of these are the pressures produced upon the sympathetic nervous system, as indicated where there are the hindrances in the sacral and iliac area of the body.
7. In the functioning of the organs themselves, - as indicated at times the heart quickens; at others it varies, and the eliminations are not good. Also the pressures produced by this throughout the alimentary canal, and the effect produced upon the forces of the body in producing toxic conditions, cause anxieties.
8. Then, in making administrations that will prove helpful for the body, these should be carried out in the manner indicated:
9. Each day for one hour we would apply Glyco-Thymoline Packs over the areas across the hips, throughout the iliac plexus. Use three to four thicknesses of cotton cloth saturated in Glyco-Thymoline. Apply heat. Also use the Glyco-Thymoline Packs around the knee, but DO NOT apply heat here. But DO apply heat over the sacral area. These are to aid in eliminating the accumulations there, through assisting the system to absorb poisons.
10. When the Packs are removed massage the areas thoroughly with this combination of oils:

    Olive Oil...............2 ounces,
Peanut Oil..............2 ounces,
Lanolin (liquefied).....1 teaspoonful.

11. Shake these together before applying, and massage thoroughly into the sacral and iliac area, in the knees and the calf of the leg down to the foot and through the bursa of the feet. Massage all the body will absorb. At times it will take more than others, but let there be at least twenty to thirty to sixty minutes for giving the massage. Do it not just as something to be gotten through with, but do this consistently each day.
12. Take internally one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water before the morning meal for three days in succession each week. Do this regularly, the same three days each week, - say Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays or whatever three days would be chosen, but do not change the days - keep these regularly.
13. Prepare two solutions to be kept separate except when the dosage is to be taken:
14. Add one grain of Chloride of Gold Sodium to one ounce of distilled water.
15. Add two grains of Bicarbonate of Soda to one ounce of distilled water. This would be the other solution.
16. One day each week, - say, on Sundays, and you won't forget it - take one drop of the Gold Solution and one drop of the Soda Solution in half a glass of water. Stir and drink immediately, once each week.
17. In the matter of the diet, - keep away from any of those foods that will add acids to the body. Neither would we have an overalkalinity in the body. Thus, keep a well balanced diet; plenty of sea foods, plenty of lamb or fowl, but not much of other meats. Not much of potatoes or of any of those foods that cause great amount of starches. Use vegetables that are green and leafy, rather than those that are of the pod nature.
18. Do these, and we will find better conditions for this body.
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) Should the medicines that I have been taking recently be continued? or is another course of treatment indicated?
    (A) We would discontinue these, if you are to add these others to the system that we have suggested here.
    The Glyco-Thymoline Packs should be taken daily. The massage following the Packs should be begun almost immediately, or at least after the second or third day, and should be given every day.
    Do these, and we will have help.
21. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 10/13/43 Background remarks to GD by Mrs. [3281]: "Been suffering with what the doctors call rheumatism or arthritis in knees; for 18 months been under a doctor in Richmond who has been giving medicines; before that for 2 yrs. in Norfolk had osteopathic treatments from Dr. Ober. Have never gotten any better."

REPORTS

1. 1/04/44 Mrs. [3281] wrote Mr. Cayce:
   Dear Friend: On October 13, 1943 you gave me a reading and I have carried out all of your instructions to the fullest, but as yet I have not received any benefit - just walk and get up and down with agony.
   Am I looking for results too soon? Would another reading be necessary?
   Please let me know if another reading is essential, and if so please take me as soon as possible.
   Hope to hear from you at a very early date. Sincerely, [3281]
2. 1/21/44 She obtained 3281-2, for which she and her husband were again present.
