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.
As we find, there is rather a complication of disturbances here. These apparently become constitutional in the form of irritations to sources of the body, as in the hand and the face. It is not like a rash nor as severe as some forms of acne, yet it takes on something of the consequences of such.
There are those unbalanced conditions in the general circulation, as produced by this irritation, causing the weakness as indicated through portions of the limbs and body.
These may be helped, but it will require patience and persistence in the application of this suggested.
First, we would change the environs when Spring comes again, to the calybeate waters - of this nature having some processes of sulphur and magnesia. We find that the better balance of these would be had in Massey Springs, Kentucky. This water carries silicon, lime, sulphur and those properties that would purify the blood supply and at the same time give strength to the body; owing to the characters of diet that may be supplied the body direct from the environs.
This we would do and we will find improvements in this body.
When these have been purified, and the pressures in the tendons and the muscular forces of the body have been corrected, as well as the rashes on the body, we would then have osteopathic adjustments so as to correct the segments where we will find there are disorders; in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th lumbar, in the area of the 9th dorsal and the 3rd cervical.
We would have at least twelve of such adjustments.
But do change to the waters in the Springs, so that there may be the eradicating of the poisons already accumulated, giving the changes in the activities and in the diets to add strength and vitality to the body.
We would make the change in the late Spring, or at least by June or July, and remain until the 10th of September. There will be reasons for leaving on the 10th of September.
Do that and we will bring better conditions for this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What was the original cause of this trouble?
(A) Poisons that have been assimilated through some of the foods and some of the activities of the body.
We are through with this reading.

Mr. [3628] ..., California
Dear Mr. [3628]:
Replying to your letter of February 8th, I think you can learn something abut Massey Springs, Ky. by writing to the Chamber of Commerce at Bowling Green, Kentucky.
As I remember it, this is a springs not far from Bowling Green on Green River. I think you can learn about it from the Chamber of Commerce.
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce [EC/gm]
10/44 Report on Massey Springs by [3628]:
Massey Springs is located about 15 miles from Bowling Green, Ky. It was formerly during horse and buggy days quite a resort with a 42 room hotel. The mineral spring business petered out years ago in this part of the country and the hotel burned down and the property is farmed at present. There are no accommodations at the spring or in that vicinity for visitors. I lived in Bowling Green and Mr. W. A. Young who lives at Anna, Ky., about 2 miles from the spring and operates a delivery truck brought the water to me. This arrangement was all right but the water would be better if drunk at the spring because it oxidizes considerably in 24 hours and also has a better taste if fresh out of the spring. I received a great benefit from this water as it cleared a skin trouble on my hands of about 20 years duration and also sore gums. I met some very nice people in Bowling Green and had a very nice visit. I can't recommend the hotel or restaurant food but I found a very good boarding house, farmer style, run by Mrs. Paul Doe, Fairview Ave. which is the best of its kind I ever saw. Mostly working men eat here. Bowling Green has about 15,000 population and some extra war workers and rooms and apartments are hard to find. Cost of living about the same as the rest of the country. The trip was very much worth while.
