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 - outside here.
3. We have the body here, [3642].
4. As we find, these are partially or in the main, karmic influences that disturb the body.
5. If considered only from the pathological angle, there is the inability of supplying through the assimilating system the nerve energies necessary for locomotion - being in part a glandular disturbance.
6. When considered from the psychological angle and from the soul-urge in the entity, these arise from other causes.
7. Then, we would change the general attitude. Don't feel sorry for self, but begin rather to see how much better conditions are for the body than for many another. Though the body itself may not be able to move as much or as easily as it desires, and though the ability of locomotion, is almost entirely gone except the general shuffle - or with the aid of others to support the body, think how much better this is than no limbs at all, or those that are constantly in pain! And the body will find that it has much to be thankful for.
8. If there is the change in the attitude, and then the application of the low Wet Cell Appliance carrying to the body the vibrations of Gold and Camphor, with the regular massages, we may gain better control and gradually be able to control the lower limbs.
9. The Wet Cell Appliance would be used in this manner:
10. The Chloride of Gold would be used one grain to each ounce of distilled water, and use at least three ounces for the Appliance.
11. The Camphor Solution would be regular strength, and three ounces.
12. The Appliance would be attached twice each week for thirty-five minutes, say Tuesdays and Fridays.
13. On Tuesdays, use the Gold Solution, attaching the small copper plate to the lower portion of the 9th dorsal.
14. On Fridays use the Camphor Solution, attaching the small copper plate at the lumbar axis.
15. Keep alternating the attachments in this manner, but each time the large nickel plate - through which the Solution passes vibratorially to the body - one time the Gold, the next time the Camphor - would be attached to the area where there is the greater patch of the lacteal ducts, that will aid the body through this vibration, to take from the food values that which may give the body helpful influences to enable it to assimilate that needed for body-strengthening.
16. Do keep the connections from the Solution when not in use. Do keep the attachment plates clean. Cleanse them when applying to the body and cleanse them when taken from the body, by the use of the sandpaper or emery paper. Do keep the Solutions thoroughly active. Change them at least every thirty days. Do not leave connections in the Solution. Clean the anodes that pass through the Solution. Do connect them to the Appliance at least twenty minutes before it is attached to the body.
17. Each time when removing the Appliance (twice each week) give the body a massage, using this combination of oils, adding the ingredients in the order named:

    Olive Oil (heated)........2 ounces,
Tincture of Myrrh.........2 ounces,
Lanolin (liquefied).....1/4 ounce.

    Not that this whole quantity would be used at once, though a considerable amount will be used the first few periods. Begin with the toes, and go through the bursa in the frontal portion of feet, also the instep, the heel, and through the calf of the leg, the knee and along the sciatic nerves, and then the whole length of the spine; particularly through the areas of the outer edges of the hip bone. Then massage across the lumbar-sacral and each side of the spine rather than so much on the spine itself, but use the circular motion in applying the oils, especially on the torso.
18. Twice each day take half a teaspoonful of KalDak in orange juice for this body - not a large tumbler but about an ounce and a half to two ounces.
19. Do keep plenty of raw vegetables, having some of these each day. These may be prepared more often with gelatin; such as water cress, lettuce, celery, mustard greens, onions, carrots, all types of foods that may be prepared in a salad.
20. Sea foods of all kinds should be a great part of the diet. Use these as the meats for the body. Turnips may be taken, but not Irish potatoes. Such as cauliflower is very well when well prepared, but not creamed. Beans, provided these are fresh.
21. Do these things and we will make better conditions for this body.
22. Ready for questions.
23. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 1/25/44 Husband's letter to EC:
   ..., Fla.
   Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Va.
   Dear Sir:
   My wife [3642] will be home all day Feb. 1st, 1944.
   The doctors say she has creeping paralyses, she has control of her legs and arms altho can not walk by herself, at times her arms shake very bad.
   I think her case is not as bad as claimed and hope you will be able to help.
   Respectfully, [...]

REPORTS

1. GD's note: Mr. Godfrey did not get an order for the Appliance. We can assume that at least that part of the treatment was not followed.
2. 3/53 Post Office sent us a change of address for her, as she was still on our mailing list. Either she was still living at that time or someone failed to correct the mailing piece.
