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.
3. Now, while there are disturbances throughout the body and these are rather of the complex nature, we find that already there has been too much of those administrations that have not reached the sources or causes of disturbances - and these continue to prove to be disturbing influences in the body.
4. First there needs to be much changed in the general physical and mental attitude of the body. So long as the body holds to the attitude that the world and everything in it is against the activities of the body and the thought of its better welfare, so long as the body is continuing to feel sorry for itself, it will continue to have greater and greater disturbances through the physical forces of the body.
5. It is true that there is much disturbing the body physically - as the conditions through the circulation, the rashes that disturb at times, but a great deal of it is in the mental attitude. There are areas through the lower portion of the rectum that cause disturbance, to say nothing of the activities through the lungs, the liver and the kidneys.
6. At least twice a week, until about fifteen treatments are given, we would have a general relaxing treatment osteopathically. These should not be stimulating treatments but relaxing treatments; slow, easy, gentle - setting up drainages especially in the areas of the 6th and 7th dorsal and throughout the lumbar and sacral axis.
7. After each treatment rest for at least thirty minutes before attempting to leave or to move about a great deal. During that period have applied for a minute to a minute and a half the ultra-violet ray light, (the Mercury Light) with the green glass projected between the light and the body, not more than a minute and a half. Apparently the projection of the green glass deflects the very rays intended to be used by the ultra-violet. True, it does take some rays from the light; yet the penetrating rays that are carried through are deflected or broken sufficiently that the green presents more of a healing power to the conditions where there are those tendencies for inflammation in the mucous membranes or soft tissue, where there is the greater flow of lymph circulation throughout the body - soft tissue of face, lungs, organs of the digestive system, the abdominal area, through the whole alimentary canal. All will be aided and there will be less tendency for the accumulations that may, if there are irritations, become malignant in their nature.
8. After at least fifteen to sixteen such osteopathic treatments, followed each time by the Light treatment (during the rest period) then we would leave off all of these treatments for a period of three to four weeks. Then have about twelve more.
9. Do these and we will bring better conditions for this body.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) What can I do for condition in shoulders, arms and fingers of right hand? Some say I will be a cripple from this.
    (A) What we have given applies to all of these. As drainages are set up we will find that gradually these conditions will be removed - not in a hurry, for these have been long in building.
    But do change the general attitude. Think constructively. Help others to find themselves. In so doing you will find yourself. Make your life helpful to others even in these disturbing periods of anxiety regarding others as well as self. Think of others who are in much worse condition than yourself and it will enable you to forget self and help others the more.
    Do that.
12. (Q) Are the tablets being taken helpful? Caroid and Bile Salts with Phenophthalein.
    (A) These are of such natures that you will come to depend upon them. Hence if the treatments suggested are taken, gradually leave off the tablets.
13. (Q) What is the condition of the rectum?
    (A) As indicated there are those tendencies for irritation. Should there continue to be, after these suggested treatments are applied, then - after at least six or eight of the osteopathic relaxing treatments have been given - we would use this combination of oils as an injection. But do not use these unless the rectal area conditions continue to become irritated at periods of evacuations. Add two drops of carbolic acid to one ounce of glycerine, stirring very thoroughly. Then add to this two ounces of Usoline or Nujol. Stir, beat or mix thoroughly. This quantity should be sufficient for at least three injections. Use a baby or an ear syringe to inject into the rectal area - only if the irritation continues, as the body changes its attitude and applies itself and has at least six to eight of the relaxing treatments osteopathically.
14. (Q) Will the fibroid tumor on uterus give me any trouble?
    (A) It will give trouble unless, as indicated, measures are taken to set up better drainages in the system so that this may be absorbed.
15. (Q) Will surgery be advisable for the liver?
    (A) Not if the applications suggested are made and as the attitude is changed. If the body continues to hold on and to enjoy being worked on by the doctors, cut on by same, pulled and hauled about by others, well - you might as well keep on doing it! But we have indicated how to meet the condition - first within self, quit feeling sorry for self! Do something about it that will be constructive, by doing something for others as well as by being more quiet - in the means and manner of using administrations that will eliminate sources of the disturbance.
    Do that.
16. We are through with this reading.

    Two copies to Self (one for the osteopath - Please let us have the name and address of the one you choose. If he wishes further information as to the ultraviolet and green glass treatment, have him communicate with Dr. H. J. Reilly, R.C.A. Bldg., 1250 6th Ave., N.Y.C.)

BACKGROUND

1. 10/28/43 [3574]'s letter: "Please for the love of God help me at once. The doctors want to operate and I know it is of no use and why spend all that money for the operation and be killed for I know that is what they will do to me and this is my third severe sick spell of this nature... I am a medium in a small way... I need this help from you within a week or ten days for my husband and the doctors have agreed I should go to the hospital, so I am on the waiting list to be admitted... Please don't send back this money for it will not help me... Can you give me my health help by mail? Thanks."
2. 11/22/43 [3574]'s letter: "I have been to two clinics and also seen other doctors and they advise an operation on the liver. They think it is gall stones."
3. 11/29/43 [3574]'s Letter: "The doctors just about had me talked into surgery but I didn't go or do anything until I have my advice from you... The expenses are quite a sum too...something is wrong, very wrong with my life all this span on earth and as my time is getting shorter and shorter, I would like to help my soul if I can for the life hereafter."
4. 12/08/43 [3574]'s letter: "I will try my very best to be with you for the appointment, 1/20/44... If I cannot come I will go into my seance room during the period and be in the quiet and in prayer."
5. 1/12/44 [3574]'s letter: "Examination showed a fibroid tumor on the uterus, what can I do for this? Do I have gall stones, etc.? What condition do you find in my stomach and the bowels, more so in the right side near the incision of the other operation? What do you find in the rectum? I have had several operations there and at times I feel uncomfortable. At times I work quite hard and have done heavy lifting, etc., work that a man should do and have injured myself, so the doctors have said. Have I cancer or tuberculosis? I seem to sweat at night and when I was sick in September one of the doctors said I had T.B... I had the T.B. X-rayed and it said not active tuberculosis, but they are not always correct. Will I ever be real well and how much longer have I on earth, as to time?
   "Thanks.
   "I don't want to be a cripple or lay in bed helpless for my husband does not help me...my sisters will not help, or have I children or friends, for I have found out how heartless neighbors or friends are - they only think of themselves, so God help me and take me quickly at the end."

REPORTS

1. 1/20/44 P.M. See 3574-2, a Life Reading.
2. 1/27/44 Letter from [3574] acknowledged receipt of the reading and stated she had not been able to start treatments because she was unable to find a doctor who used ultra-violet ray with green glass.
3. 2/04/44 [3574]'s letter to EC: "I am not able to find any doctor here that has the green light, so I am not able to start my treatments as yet."
4. 3/04/44 [3574]'s letter to EC: "I have written to you quite some time ago telling you that no doctor here had any green light and you have not answered me... I paid for this reading and had hoped for help that I can use for treatments"
5. 3/04/44 GD's letter to [3574]: "Due to Mr. Cayce's illness, I am, at this late date attempting to answer your letter of 2/04/44. If your osteopath is in accord, he should be able to obtain and use the ultra-violet light - the Mercury Light... The green plate glass may be secured from The American Plate and Window Glass Co... We would refer you to Dr. Arthur E. Smith, D.O., who is familiar with our work and who will help you get started with your treatment."
6. 3/26/44 [1747]'s letter to EC: "Mrs. [3574] called on me and we talked over her readings from you. I tried to give her my understanding of them. Whether she understood and follows instructions will be up to her. She is having a hard time to get someone to give the osteopathic treatment and ultra-violet ray treatment with the green glass. So I told her she should get a lamp herself and give it to herself and have the osteopath come to her house to give his treatment there."
7. 12/17/48 [3574]'s ltr. to HLC: "I have not as yet to have the treatments your dear Father ordered, but no one here uses the lights, so I am suffering terrible the pains are so terrible at times the bones ache and joints, my knees are swelling like solid mass on the inside. Some doctors say arthritis. I have prayed to die for I don't want to be a cripple and when I am ill I have to struggle alone but God keeps me. You have been sending me material I have not ordered..."
8. 6/30/64 "I had two readings from Mr. Edgar Cayce a few months before he passed - I don't remember the date or year. I had one for health and the other one he went back over lives for me. Well, I want you to please let me read them again for I am having trouble with my back, and I would like to reread the other one. My copy of each got lost. I showed them to so many people for I was trying to let the people of the world know how wonderful he was. I was supposed to have had a material reading, but he passed on before I could have it, so will you please help me. I thank you." [Sent with bill of 25 cents a page on 7/07/64. GD.]
