Time and Place: 3:55 to 4:05 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Massachusetts.

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, [3602].
As we find, there are disturbances here and, as may be crudely indicated, the batteries of the whole system are just running down. The incoordination between the locomotories of the body - both as to arms and the lower limbs - are slower in their reflexes and impulses. The activities are then being depleted and these prevent the white and gray impulses in nerve plasma from reacting.
Hence we find that the nerve impulses that should be voluntary become involuntary.
We would set up a little better eliminations (superficial) eliminations. That is, the perspiratory and respiratory system eliminating more of the poisons and adding to the body more gelatin to be assimilated and to stimulate better activity. Not that gelatin contains vitamins themselves but, with the assimilation in the system, it causes the vitamins of B-1 and the B complexes to react and to become more susceptible to activity in the body.
Three times each week take half a teaspoonful of plain gelatin stirred thoroughly in cold water, not hot water. The vitamin stimulation should be in the food values, rather than in the vitamin tablets themselves.
Each day use the Radio-Active Appliance for at least an hour, to cause these properties to react in the digestive forces of the body. This is not a vibration of electrical forces except that impelled by the body-force itself, by the manner in which it is prepared - as to cause the formation of a magnet in the pulsation to become normal. It will be found that this will tend to put the body to sleep. Don't get the attachment plates crossed. Always attach the same anode first. If you attach it otherwise you will only spoil the Appliance and do yourself more harm than good. The same applicator is to be attached first each period. Do keep the plates clean. Clean them before they are put on the body. Clean them when they are taken from the body. Put the Appliance in the ice at least twenty to thirty minutes before it is attached to the body.
Following the Appliance treatment each day have a good gentle massage with an equal combination of Olive Oil (heated) and Tincture of Myrrh. Massage these properties in the areas of the 6th dorsal to the 1st and 2nd cervical along the sacral areas and the lower lumbar. Don't be in a hurry, so as to just slap on and get through, but massage into the areas on either side of the spine as well as in the segments themselves.
Then keep a very good appetite, keeping up better eliminations - and we will have better conditions for this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Can I expect a complete recovery?
(A) You can expect it if you do what you are expected to do!
(Q) What is causing the loss of coordination of two fingers of the right hand?
(A) This is what we have just been trying to describe. Do these things for better conditions of this body.
We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1/07/44 [3602]'s letter to EC:
Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Virginia
My dear Mr. Cayce:
I am writing you at the suggestion of Mrs. [3450], ..., Massachusetts, for whom you gave a reading December 8, 1943.
I have been practicing dentistry for a great many years in Boston, Massachusetts and for the last five or six years have been developing a mal-coordination in the two fingers that I use most in my work. There is no arthritis, no paralysis of any sort, nothing organically wrong as far as I can find out, except that I can not, at times, have the full control over my instruments nor am I able to control my pen when writing. It is a purely functional disturbance and has been described as muscle bound, also as writer's cramp and many other diagnoses have been given, but no treatment that has helped me at all.
Unless I can find some remedy for this I am faced with giving up my work. This would be a great hardship inasmuch as I am perfectly well and carry on a large practice and do not want to give up.
I understand that unless it is an emergency you are not able to give readings for several weeks. While this is not an emergency in a sense of life or death, it is an emergency that unless I can find some help I will have to give up, and once I give up, I wouldn't return to practice at my age.

REPORTS

4/14/44 EC's letter to Mrs. [2174]:
Had an interesting experience just a day or two ago. A couple of professors from the ... School came to see me, unannounced. One of them had had a reading some months ago. They came to Williamsburg for something, and came to see me and report their results of the reading. It was quite interesting to talk to them and they were very lovely to me, though of course they said a lot of things that were kinda funny. The reading was for a man who is head of the dentistry of the school, whatever you call it, and the doctor who was watching the case said to me, "Well it's most interesting. None of us in the school had been able to do anything for Dr. [3602], so we were willing to try most anything. Of course the things you suggested are not very much of orthodox medicine; some of them are, but you mix things up in these readings so very peculiarly, but the results he is getting are most remarkable." That should be an answer to most anyone. They spent some little time going through the records, and one of them told me just before they left, "You keep these records; someday, any school, I know mine would be willing to pay you most any price for these records kept as they are." Maybe we are not so foolish as some people seem to think.
