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 questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [3464].
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions, and these have to do with the eliminations, the incoordination between the eliminating systems. Thus the disturbances that arises in the alimentary canal, that having to do with the tautness, the weakness that occurs in the extremities, and the reaction of nausea that comes at times with the general tiredness. These are effects upon kidneys, the alimentary canal, the respiratory system and the perspiratory system.
4. The blood supply is charged with a combination of toxic conditions. And these, with these pressures, cause these pains in the superficial muscles of the limbs.
5. The activities of the organs themselves will respond if better coordination is set up between the superficial and the deeper circulations, or the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal nervous systems.
6. We find that these would respond better to hydrotherapy of a character. These treatments we would give once a week, and each should include first a Fume Bath using witchhazel. Have very little of the dry heat, just sufficient to be begin the moisture upon the body, and then use the witchhazel in the Fume Bath.
7. Then following a shower, have the Bubble Bath, using the Pine Oils in same.
8. Afterwards, give the body a thorough rubdown with this combination of oils, adding these in the order named:

   Russian White Oil (Nujol or Usoline)....4 ounces,
Olive Oil...............................2 ounces,
Peanut Oil..............................2 ounces,
Oil of Pine Wood........................1 ounce,
Oil of Sassafras......................1/2 ounce,
Lanolin (liquified)...................1/2 ounce.

   Shake these together, for they'll tend to separate. Best to pour a small quantity in a saucer, not just on the hands to go back into the container. Massage these thoroughly into the limbs, the feet, across the small of the back, and especially at the diaphragm area.
9. Then apply the Ultra-Violet light for a minute and a half; this preferably with the green glass projected between the Ultra-Violet and the body.
10. After this, rub down with a very light alcohol solution. It is preferable for this to be grain alcohol rather than denatured or rub alcohol.
11. In the diet, let there be included sea foods often, raw vegetables often, no beef at all, lamb occasionally. Have three vegetables that grow above the ground to one that grows under the ground.
12. Do these and we will make better conditions for this body.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) What would you advise for chronic constipation?
    (A) The diet as indicated. Occasionally, during those periods when the hydrotherapy is given, we would have a colonic irrigation. There should be at least eighteen of the hydrotherapy treatments. During that period have at least two high colonics to clear the alimentary canal. One should be towards the beginning, the other towards the last week of the treatments.
15. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 8/16/43 [3464]'s letter: Few questions. What I really want to know is the cause of the bad muscular aching that I have, and what can be done for it.
   Thanking you for your interest and kindness. I am, Sincerely yours, [3464]
   Will general massage or osteopathy help my condition?
   Should I be on any special diet?
   Does this condition come from a lack of anything in my system - or a surplus?
   What would you advise for chronic constipation? Could this constant pain and ache come from a nervous condition?

REPORTS

1. 12/03/43 [3464]'s letter:
   Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Virginia
   Dear Mr. Cayce,-
   This will acknowledge receipt of two copies of your reading of November 22nd 1943, and give you my thanks for the same.
   As I am planning to go South early in January, I shall not have time to complete the course of eighteen treatments you suggest, but later in the year, hope to do so.
   The rubbing oil combination you suggest, interests me and I would like to know if it will be all right for me to use this before I take up the regular treatments outlined in your report. Thank you for a word of reply.
   Very sincerely yours, [3464]
2. 12/09/43 EC's letter:
   Mrs. [3464] New York, N.Y.
   Dear Mrs. [3464]:
   Thanks for yours of the third. Of course it would be much better if you could carry out the suggestions just as they were given, for of course the information is supposed to be followed as given, and if you don't get full results don't blame the information.
   I am sure the rubs would be very well at any time, but should be taken as the information suggested.
   Hoping for the best for you, I am,
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce [ec/vc]
