TEXT

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:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3543].
As we find, there are disorders. And if there is the persistence in attempting to do the exercises that are being prepared even now for the body, we will have injuries that will soon become permanent static conditions. For there are those inclinations and tendencies towards calcium deposits in the segments of the cerebrospinal system, in the lower dorsal and through the lumber area, extending even to the 9th dorsal. These are the disturbances that cause the conditions in the spinal area.
We would relax from this acrobatic dancing for at least two to three months. Then, if there are measures taken to eliminate the sources of these disturbances, the body may carry on. For this, as the choice of ths body, may be made to become a channel through which much may be give to others.
In making these corrections, first we would have once or twice a week, for at least two to three weeks, the general hydrotherapy treatments - but don't be too strenuous with these. Massages are excellent, yes - but these only act as palliatives and are not removing the sources of the chemical changes that take place in the body. There must be those characters of activities to eliminate the poisons or accumulations around the segments and at the areas indicated. Then there must be those attentions to the body through these periods that will change the chemical reactions in the manner in which the glandular system takes from the body-forces, or the diet in the assimilation, to create the supplying elements for resuscitating and revivifying of the affected areas.
In the hydrotherapy, then, we would include first a Pine Oil Bubble Bath - for fifteen to twenty minutes. Then have a thorough rubdown with this combination of oils, added in the order named:
These will tend to separate, but shake together and pour out of the container in which these are kept, into an open saucer. Don't pour into the hands, but into a shallow container. Dip the fingers in this and massage the limbs, along the sciatic nerve and feet, the pelvic areas and the sacral and lumbar - all the way to the base of the brain. Here we would always rub upward, not downward, but rub toward the head; so that the centers stimulated, where cerebrospinal and sympathetic coordinate, will be brought into unison of activity.
Then let the body rest under the ultra-violet light with the green glass projected, for a minute to a minute and a half - over the area of the ribs and the lower lumbar.
Do this about twice a week. At Reilly's would be the better.
Of evenings also apply Glyco-Thymoline Packs over the lumbar and lower dorsal and sacral area, using salt heat - preferably iodized salt. This should be sewed or quilted in a pad - this heated and applied to the body, over the Glyco-Thymoline Pack instead of an electric pad.
Also prepare two solutions to be taken internally. Add one grain Chloride of Gold Sodium to one ounce of distilled water. This would be one solution.
Add two grains Bromide of Soda to one ounce of distilled water. This would be the other solution.
Every other day, when the dose is to be taken, to half a glass of water add one drop of the Gold Solution and one drop of the Soda Solution. Stir and drink immediately.
Begin taking these properties after the first two hydrotherapy treatments have been taken.
Do these, and we will find that in four to six weeks the body may begin with the training and the activity, and be rid of disturbances.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Why is she so susceptible to colds, and what is the remedy?
(A) The acidity of the system. While the Gold is acid, the Bromide of Soda reacts - and the activities of the absorption through the Glyco-Thymoline will minimize these conditions.
(Q) What causes dark spots on her skin?
(A) The poor circulation.
(Q) Has she any tendency to cancer?
(A) Not in the present.
(Q) Any other advice?
(A) Do these consistently if there will be the carrying on of that the body purposes in its mind - and it would become then a pleasure, not a hardship.
We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

8/11/43 Mother's letter: "...In September my little daughter must decide on her life work. Dancing has been her main interest... Will you please also take a physical reading?...certain natural functions are irregular and all last winter ceased entirely. She gets very thin and I think too active. I wonder why? I want her to be perfectly well and would be so grateful if you could tell me how to keep her so. Is there any predisposition to cancer? A peculiar spot once worried me. It healed but I have always wondered what it was. My gratitude to you is such as only a mother can feel..."
11/05/43 "...[3543] is my young girl I wrote you about who has worked so hard on her acrobatic dancing. It has been very difficult for us to continue her training in ..., yet we put this problem in the hands of our heavenly Father and somehow my money has come as we need it... She has also recently had opportunities for work, but about 4 weeks ago she was almost unable to walk with a pain in her back, to bend forward was impossible. Her teacher sent her to his chiropractor and it has very slowly improved. I had X-rays taken and they showed no sudden change in her back. What was there had been there for years. She was unable to take her lessons or to earn the money she was just beginning to get opportunities to get. Her back is better now so she can work a little but to do any aerials or any difficult tumbling - what the people have hired her to do. She tried yesterday she told me, and "a sharp pain went through my back, mummy." ...I know that you can find the trouble and cure her. I don't feel this chiropractor is getting at the root of the trouble at all. Will you do for me what you can?..."
12/31/43 Mother's letter: "...Mrs. [3353] who has just been helped very much by your reading, has talked it over with me and we came to the conclusion that it would be best for my daughter to go on with her regular activities, if this meets with your approval. In that case she will be practicing her dancing at her teacher's studio, at ... My daughter has implicit faith in the reading and is of a religious nature; she is, however, 17 and would find it quite unnatural to meditate or pray for an hour. Mrs. [3353] and I will do that for her, and my daughter will pray in her own way and during her work. Since she is just starting her career, eager for success and perfection, I know you will appreciate how important it is that her body functions perfectly. Her farther and I are very grateful to you for giving her this time..."

REPORTS

1/28/44 Mother's report: [Requesting a Physical Rdg., for son, [3678]]: "In regard to my daughter's reading - her treatments are underway. She is in the care of Dr. Reilly as the reading suggested and she tells me that everything is being done according to the directions in the reading. The medicine was put up here at ... drug store, with great care. My gratitude can never be put into words..."
2/04/45 Mother's report to GC: "I am one of the many thousands who owe a deep debt of gratitude to your husband. My daughter's beautiful body and fine health are due to him..."
8/09/47 Mother's report: "...My daughter expects to be working in ... for a month and probably longer, ...she is one of Edgar Cayce's "cures".
8/15/47 Dr. Reilly's report: No diagnosis (provisional), followed Cayce reading exact directions. Patient regained complete use of limbs and full muscular co-ordination. 30 visits, 1944; 12 visits 1945 & 46. The last time I saw this patient she was in splendid health and physical condition. The Cayce reading worked miracles on her.
8/29/47 Mother's report: "Chief Complaint, Acute pain in moving back, hips and legs; severe onset Nov. '43, approximately; acute duration several months. No severe recurrence at all. Before reading: a few treatments from a chiropractor and X-rays showed lime deposits, I think. Last year, and several months, treatments followed as outlined. No gold taken after one year. Hydrotherapy continued regularly through 2nd year. 3rd year cured!
