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 - north side.
Yes, we have the body here, [3549].
As we find, there is a complication of disturbances here. The greater disturbance arises from the effects of poor eliminations in and through this body. This has gradually upset the coordinating of superficial and deeper circulation, thus in the same manner affecting the nerve forces of the body.
From toxic poisons as indicated in the reflex condition in heart, as well as in knees and in the extremities, there is a neuritic effect and - from long standing - an arthritic tendency; though these should be eliminated if taken in time.
Then, these are conditions as we find them with this body:
The blood supply, in the pressure and in the heart activity, shows the results of toxic conditions that exist in this system. There has been produced a plethora in the colon at the ascending and transverse area. These tend to make for pressures that cause the heart activity to be irregular. Unless there are changes made, this is a disturbance that may bring dire distresses to heart, lungs and kidneys - especially in the heart and kidney conditions. For the toxic forces are of such natures that the uric acids are becoming more prevalent in the effects produced in the lymph-carrying portions of the activities where eliminations are not coordinated in the body.
In the nerve forces we find the effects in the superficial circulation to those areas of the nerves and tendons in the extremities; sometimes in hands, sometimes in shoulders, arms, limbs - especially in knee, and in the heart activity - or the thrombose area where the aorta artery carries the blood supply from heart and liver. Thus there is caused a thumping or an aching.
At times we find that these toxic forces cause sleeplessness in the night; though during the day at times if there's a bit of activity there is a tendency for the body to feel sleepy, tired, warm. All of these are the effects upon the nerve forces of the body.
The organs themselves, as indicated, are becoming involved in these conditions.
As we find, we would take hydrotherapy treatments for these disturbances. These should include in the first month at least two thorough colonic irrigations, and these should be continued at regular intervals, if more of these are required to remove all of the mucous from the colon. Have these not too close together, but do remove these accumulations.
The massage should follow these, and have a rest period between the massage and light treatments.
Then keep the proper diet. Stay very close to raw vegetables. Have these as the chief part of one meal each day; such as celery, lettuce, carrots, radishes, onions, mustard, water cress - all of these. Not all in the one meal necessarily, but vary these and take some of them daily.
No red meats at all for the body. Not too much sugars. Use plenty of salt water fish.
Do these and we will make better conditions for the body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) How can I improve my vision? [GD's note: Later indicated she had myopia.]
(A) When we remove the pressures of the toxic forces we will improve the vision. Also the head and neck exercise will be most helpful. Take this regularly, not taking it sometimes and leaving off sometimes, but each morning and each evening take this exercise regularly for six months and we will see a great deal of difference: Sitting erect, bend the head forward three times, to the back three times, to the right side three times, to the left side three times, and then circle the head each way three times. Don't hurry through with it but take the time to do it. You will get results.
(Q) Would wearing contact lenses be helpful?
(A) As we find, these would be very good, by why - unless there are greater changes. If these activities are taken, we will correct these conditions.
(Q) Are there indications of any serious ailments such as tumors?
(A) These can come about but it would be because there is the separation between superficial and deeper circulation as related to eliminating impulses. Thus the type of applications suggested.
(Q) Is it possible for me to have a child? (In the event of marriage.)
(A) It is possible but we wouldn't advise it until the conditions are much better in the body.
(Q) Until what age?
(A) Until at least forty.
We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1/03/44 She submitted questions, including: "What is wrong with my ankle and how should it be treated? What causes pain in the heart region? What dietary deficiencies? In the event of marriage, would it be possible for me to have a child?"

REPORTS

1/19/44 She wrote: "Please accept my deepest thanks for the privilege of having a rdg. It was a strangely enjoyable experience, and I will follow the suggestions. All my questions, except one, were answered. This puzzles me somewhat. It's about my ankle. About two yrs. ago I injured my ankle. X-rays showed a disturbance which might mean a possible chipped bone. I was told that this might mean an operation at some future date. I hope the fact that you did not mention this in your reading means that my ankle will heal, when I take care of my general condition. At present I experience pain in this ankle at such times when the heel is elevated. No doubt the removal of toxins, as suggested in the rdg., will promote healing."
2/14/44 She wrote: "I am now following the suggestions as given in my rdg. and am getting encouraging results. It is interesting to note that at the time of the rdg. I was aware of a peculiar sensation in the left ankle (the one that troubles me). It is difficult to describe. It seemed as though it was actually being examined and yet there was nothing in the rdg. about it. Then I seemed to be aware of the fact that the rdg. was completed much before 11:30 A.M. - (the time noted in the rdg. showed this to be true - re: 10:45 A.M.)."
4/14/44 She wrote: "General health seems much improved after three months of following the rdg. suggestions. Elimination much more normal and regular. Nerves far more relaxed. Circulation much better. Pains at menstruation markedly reduced. Vision improving. Flashes of completely normal vision daily (however, not able to retain for long periods). The glasses I've been wearing for the past six years are a minus 6 1/4 diopters." (I have been wearing glasses for twenty yrs!)
10/09/44 She wrote: "I am continuing to follow the suggestions and am making progress."
12/07/46 She wrote: "Was very interested in your 12/06/46 extracts from Case [341] on Nearsightedness, as I am nearsighted. Do you have the name and address of a N.Y. osteopath who is familiar with Mr. Cayce's work?"
7/28/49 She reported: "As recommended by EC in a cancer case, 3672-1, I used the ultra-violet with green glass as an experiment for the treatment of an acute fissure in my rectum. I used it for about four treatments, three minutes on front, three on back (first taking very hot sitz baths). Results: Bleeding stopped and fissure apparently healed, but external hemorrhoids still giving trouble. Would continue treatments of light but too expensive. The idea to take these treatments occurred to me because of the healing effect attributed to this light in other rdgs. (I did not take it for the ailment given in this rdg.).
8/27/59 She wrote: "I am delighted to report excellent results from using Iodex and Cocoa Butter from Case 4218-5. The hard lump in my breast is almost completely gone. It was the size of an almond in a shell. Now I can just barely feel it after searching for it. This after about four months of gentle massage with the Iodex and Cocoa Butter. I couldn't get Concord grapes, so I substituted Welch's Grape Juice - drank large quantities of it - also saturated a cloth and applied as a pack several times. Also was out in the sun a great deal, wearing a brief halter. I stopped eating potatoes and increased my intake of almonds. Also took steam baths. Please add this report to your case histories."
11/14/66 Mrs. Vera Harrison, Va. Beach, Va., wrote: "I had worn glasses for twenty-seven years. Last July an A.R.E. member saw me straining over the small print in a book on the table. She told me about the head and neck exercise in the Cayce readings and I started it immediately, once in the morning on a walk and once in the evening sitting very straight. Well, last week I threw my glasses away. The telephone book used to be dreaded like a plague and now I can read the smallest print in the Bible without glasses. I just thought other members ought to know about it."
4/12/71 Mrs. E. Gasch wrote from Canada: "My daughter Evelyn was discovered to be nearsighted and no improvement, but the contrary was expected by the eye specialist. After six months of exercising the 'neck roll' she could completely dispose of her glasses. Her happiness (she is 12 yrs. old) I am sure you realize."
