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, [3300].
3. As we find, there are conditions that may be aided, that disturb the physical forces in such a way as to bring distresses to the body. These, as we find, have to do with the eliminations, the assimilations, and the effect this impoverishment has had upon organs of the body.
4. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body:
5. The blood supply indicates toxic conditions existent in extremities, especially as related to the circulation between the liver and the kidneys, as well as the general impoverishment that brings to the body the weaknesses and the inability to build up resistances. This is also indicated in the liver, the lungs and the heart's activity - in a disorderly disturbance through this deeper circulation.
6. These being so low at times, the superficial or the sympathetic and the lymphatic circulation has become in portions almost nil. Hence those conditions that irritate the superficial portions of the body.
7. In the nerve forces the pressures produced by the toxic forces are those that cause disturbances in the circulation in the limbs and also in the organs - especially through the alimentary canal and as related to the activities in the organs of pelvis.
8. As to the functionings of the organs themselves, - there has been a gradual growing on the body of the effects of poisons upon the activities of the organs. Thus these disturbances are partially organic, but mostly functional through the system.
9. Then, in making corrections for the body, - first, we find it would be well that there be a cleansing of the system as related to activities in alimentary canal, in the functioning of the liver, in stimulating better circulation between the liver and the kidneys. We would begin then with these:
10. Begin taking a teaspoonful of Caldwell's Syrup of Pepsin each morning. On the fourth morning take three teaspoonsful. On the fifth morning take only one teaspoonful.
11. But on the fifth day, do have a high colonic. This should be given scientifically, to cleanse the colon throughout and to remove the poisons from the system. This will make the body weak. Hence do not overtax the body through the periods when these eliminations are being set up. During these first five days, do not take too great a quantity of solid foods; preferably liquids - vegetable juices, whole grain cereals - and these cooked rather than dry cereals; citrus fruit juices and citrus fruits but not taken on the same days that the cereals are taken. Green vegetables, yes - celery, lettuce and the like - carrots; but grate all of these. Congeal them with gelatin, using that form of alkalines for the body. Grate them or mash or grind them saving the juices, however. Coffee may be taken if desired, but not with milk or cream in same.
12. After the five days, rest then from all applications for a day.
13. Then begin taking internally one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water each morning before breakfast for five days. Then leave off five days, and then take again five days.
14. When the second series of the Atomidine is begun, then begin also (not before) with osteopathic adjustments; emptying the gall duct and eliminating the poisons; stimulating only those areas in the lumbar and sacral axis, RELAXING those areas from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervical on to the lumbar area - relaxing and not overstimulating.
15. Begin with the regular diet, and take vitamins A and D as reinforcements for the general assimilation. Don't begin these until the system is thoroughly cleansed in the manner outlined. Take these for a week, leave them off and take B-1 for a week. Then alternate. A and D would be taken together, B-1 would be taken separately; the A and D one week; the B-1 the next week, and so on.
16. Keep the osteopathic treatments until about twelve have been taken, and we will find conditions bettering for this body.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Do I have arthritis?
    (A) You have those tendencies, but if we will eliminate the poisons purifying the system, these conditions will disappear. It is more neuritic than arthritis.
19. (Q) Did removing my teeth remove the cause?
    (A) No. For the cause is in the liver and gall duct and kidney, not in the mouth. But if those things will be done as given, we will find improvements for this body.
    Do that.
20. We are through with this reading.

    Two copies to Self (one for the osteopath, when it is time for you to begin these treatments)
    Copy to Ass'n file
    Two Miss Goodall for indexing
    (Atomidine might be purchased from Burrow-Martin or Peoples in Norfolk. If not it can be ordered directly from the Atomidine Co., Att: Harold S. Bisey, 1326 St. John's Place, Brooklyn, N.Y., for $1.00 a bottle.
    The colonic irrigation - we would suggest that you have this done by a professional, such as the nurse in Dr. James R. Parker's office, Banker's Trust Bldg.)

REPORTS

1. 8/23/44 [3300] called asking for a check-reading. I [MV] went over her reading with her (on the phone) and advised her to complete the entire course outlined in her first reading which was given on October 19th, 1943. Also advised her to write us for the check-up.
   She gave me the following report: Nine osteopathic treatments from Dr. Richardson.
   Dr. Howard of Portsmouth, Va. told her (after taking x-rays) that the gall duct was closed and should be removed. That the gall duct was full.
   Dr. Via (a close friend of Mrs. [3300]) of Portsmouth, Va. opened the gall duct itself, three different times by placing his hand over the gall duct area. Although he is a Chiropractor, attempted to make the spinal adjustments suggested in the reading. Seemed impressed with the reading, saying that he would do his best to cooperate.
   Mrs. [3300] didn't feel that Dr. Richardson had helped, and plans to go back to Dr. Via.
2. 8/23/44 [3300]'s letter:
   Dr. Cayce, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach Va.
   Dear Dr. Cayce;
   On Oct. 19, 1944 [1943] you so kindly gave me a very fine reading which I was very much pleased and according to your directions I went by and I only was able to take nine osteopathic adjustments because of sickness of my aged mother. I noticed at the time that the adjustments were mostly on the shoulders as I had carefully read about these adjustments in your directions, but I tried to think he had given me the right adjustments.
   In February or March my stomach became in a terrible condition and my nerves were terrible, and I had an ulcer to come on one of my eyes, which in spite of the best of treatment has not healed.
   In June I took another high colonic, and went back to the osteopath thinking to take twelve adjustments, showing my copy as he had the duplicate copy, he gave two adjustments when I had to stop. Later on I went to a doctor and he had my gall bladder exray and it showed the gall duct closed. He said it should be removed and I don't want to do that. I have a very kind friend [chiropractic Doctor] who I had heard could empty the gall bladder, he also gave me some by your directions.
   This morning I called your office and your secretary talked to me concerning all and she advised to start and take your directions over and then ask my chiropractic doctor friend to study the directions and see if he could give me the adjustments as you advised as those directions would open up the gall bladder. My kind friend told me to go ahead with your directions again bring your directions to him and he would study them thoroughly and give them to me. I am starting again tomorrow on the directions.
   I would like to have another hearing whenever you can give me one and you are feeling better. Please let me hear from you if you can give me a hearing when you can.
   Sincerely yours [3300]
3. 10/20/44 [3300]'s letter:
   Dear Mrs. Wirsing,
   I am so sorry not to have answered your letter before but I have been sick. You have been most kind and I have appreciated it more than you will ever know.
   Due to not working since last March I have not been able [to] join the association. I have a widowed mother 89 who I look after and I have been very sick. I am very MUCH interested in Dr. Cayce's work and would like to join. I do hope he is restored to health.
   Thank you for all you have helped me over the phone.
   Sincerely yours [3300]
