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 find there are disturbances here. These have to do with some very unusual happenings with this body. These arise from an injury received by the body at the cardiac portion of the stomach, and this pressure produced upon the esophagus itself has caused in throat and in portions of the esophagus those disturbances whenever the body attempts to swallow.
3. In the main the physical forces of the body are very good, but this irritation - and it appears more in the area of the trachea and bronchi - causes pains at times at the esophagus or cardiac portion of the stomach and the end of the esophagus.
4. As we find here, the relaxings of the body or through suggestions made as to almost hypnotize the body will help. This should be done by the power of suggestion at the same time that applications would be made for magnetic healing. This may be done by the very close associates of the body:
5. Place the right hand (of the one making these applications) on the back, opposite the pit or the cardiac portion of the stomach, and the left hand over the cardiac portion of stomach. Hold for three to four minutes. This should be directly on the body, not through the clothing. At the same time there should be those suggestions for the increasing of the flow of blood, the increasing of the flow of nerve forces, as to the relieve these tensions that have been produced there.
6. These forms or manners will be much preferable to attempting to use counter-irritants with any form of plaster, mustard plaster or musterole or minute rub or any of those combinations where mustard or other characters of counter irritants are used.
7. It will be well that this be done at least once each day for at least fifteen to eighteen days.
8. After this is done, do have corrections made in that area of the 6th dorsal, the 3rd cervical.
9. And do change the diets so that greater quantities of raw, green vegetables are taken.
10. Do these, setting up or giving better eliminations, and we will correct these conditions.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) What should be done for the trouble in my head?
    (A) This is mostly reflex. The adjustments made osteopathically in the upper dorsal and throughout the cervical, head and neck will relieve these tensions that are left after the corrections are made through the magnetic and suggestive treatments.
13. (Q) Will these treatments also correct trouble in my left side?
    (A) They will.
14. (Q) Will these treatments also correct trouble in my circulation?
    (A) Do these things indicated. The circulation is that that is disordered. Do these and we will bring better conditions for this body.
15. We are through with this reading.

    Two copies to Self (one for the osteopath when you are ready for these treatments - Please let us have the name and address of the one you choose.)
    Copy to Ass'n file

BACKGROUND

1. 1/04/44 [3619]'s ltr. to EC:
   Dr. Edgar Cayce, Association for Research and Enlightenment, Virginia Beach, Va.
   Dear Dr. Cayce:
   Referring to yours of Oct. 6, 1943, in which you state you could give me a reading (Physical) on Jan 28, 1944, at 3:30 to 4:30 EWT, our time here from 2:30 to 3:30 PM and for me to send in my questions a few days before, also to state the exact address where I would be at that hour.
   QUESTIONS:
   1. Ask about the trouble in my throat and head also my tongue. 2. Ask about the trouble with my circulation. 3. Ask about the weak condition of my entire left side.
   For the last 5 years I have been having trouble with my head - there seems to be a congested condition about the brain but I have not been able to get anything done about it. Have tried doctor after doctor and they just don't know what the trouble is.
   I will be in the private office located upstairs in the building at ..., Ala. on the small chesterfield from 2:30 to 3:30 our time - your time 3:30 to 4:30 PM.
   I am counting on you to help me and know you will, since you have helped so many others gain their health.
   With best wishes, I am,
   Sincerely yours, [3619]
