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. As we find, there are disturbances that, unless there are measures taken to make some corrections will grow to be rather serious. For these will soon become of the progressive type unless changes are wrought.
3. These as we find have to do primarily with the glandular system and the effect being had upon the eliminations and especially the rebuilding in the extremities of the body. While in the present they assume more of a neurotic reaction, we find that these are primarily a multiple disturbance in the right lobe of the liver. A part of these come from indiscretions of youth, a part from the conditions as related to the eliminations.
4. These are the conditions as we find them. While there are yet the possibilities we would begin with thorough hydrotherapy treatments regularly, at least once each week for six to ten weeks - having, through this period, at least three colonic irrigations. Each week the general treatments should include a mild sweat followed by Pine Oil rubs to stimulate proper eliminations and the proper distribution of food values through the body.
5. After the hydrotherapy treatments have been taken for six to ten weeks, and at least three colonics, we would then begin to use the Violet Ray following each hydrotherapy treatment; not before, for - with the poisons in the system - this would be more detrimental than beneficial. When begun, apply the Violet Ray especially across the shoulders, down the arms, even to the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and up the sciatic centers of the limbs. Use the hand machine Violet Ray, bulb applicator, and let this treatment be given for ten to fifteen minutes each week following the hydrotherapy.
6. Do these, and then take a stimuli in the form of vitamins - as would be found in B-1 complex. These we would take regularly.
7. Do these if we would make for better conditions of this body.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) What is the cause of my hands being crippled?
   (A) The general conditions indicated, from the circulation.
   Do these things indicated. Do refrain from any alcohol or any carbonated water drinks.
   Do take plenty of the raw vegetables. Do have green vegetables prepared often with gelatin. Gelatin will add to the strengthening of tendons and muscular forces, when the body has been purified and is being built up.
10. We are through with this reading.

    Two copies to self (one for the physiotherapist who is to give the Sweat baths, rubs and colonics - Please let us have the name and address of the one you choose.)

REPORTS

1. 12/18/43 [3447]'s letter:
   Association for Research and Enlightenment Virginia Beach, Va.
   Gentlemen:
   Have selected Dr. Walter W. Strand [D.C.], 301-10 Realty Building, Youngstown, Ohio, to give treatments as per reading by Mr. Cayce December 4th, 1943.
   There is a sentence in this reading that is not altogether clear, it reads: "While there are yet possibilities". Just what does this mean? Possibilities of what?
   Was this the complete reading, or just part of it? It seems rather incomplete. Will you kindly reply?
2. 12/23/43 EC's ltr. to [3447]:
   Mr. [3447] ..., Ohio
   Dear Mr. [3447]
   I am in hopes that you have the Doctor follow the suggestions as indicated in the information for you. For only in doing just as suggested may there be real help.
   I understand from the information what is meant, "While there are yet possibilities," there are possibilities for you to gain real help, while if the condition were advanced further, there may be no possibilities or probabilities.
   Be sure to let us hear from you from time to time, and hoping we have been the means of a real service to you, I am,
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC/c
3. 6/15/67 Guests at A.R.E. told us that Mr. [3447] has just recently died in his seventy-ninth year.
