Edgar Cayce Readings, 3672-1

(The following information came at the end of another Physical Reading, without the suggestion being made to include this case.)

TEXT

EC: We would give that being sought in the wire there on the desk - [3672].
Yes. While there is life there is hope.
To be sure, there have been errors made in the applications that have been used.
But begin with the application of raw beets to the area about the breast, but not over the destructive portion itself. Cut the beets, with some of the tender leaves or stems, and apply directly against the body. Change these applications, using fresh beets, at least three times each day. We find that this should heal.
It will also require that there be taken internally about every other day an eighth grain of Animated Ash, and that this be followed in a few minutes with a treatment using the ultra-violet Mercury Quartz Light with the green plate glass projected between the Light and the body, one time through the back and the next time through the frontal area. The ultra-violet ray should be about 42 inches from the body, while the piece of green plate glass (size 8 x 10) should be about 14 inches from the body. Only use this a minute each day, one day on the back and the next day over the breast where the destructive forces would eat through the tissue to the lung - though they haven't as yet.
Apply these properly. Every other day take the Animated Ash, but give the ultra-violet ray each day - not without the green glass projected.
Drink plenty of beet juice. Prepare this preferably by cooking the beets in Patapar Paper, so that all the salts and juices that come from the beets may be taken; about two ounces of this juice each day.
Do these, and do these properly.
And do have faith.
We are through.

R6] OF THIS CITY WHO HAS HAD CORRESPONDENCE WITH YOU REFERENCE TO A READING I AM APPEALING TO YOU TO HELP MY DAUGHTER.

I AS HER FATHER ALSO CONSENT I KNOW YOU ARE BUSY BUT IF YOU MAKE A HABIT OF TREATING EMERGENCIES I WISH YOU WOULD CONSIDER MY DAUGHTER AS SUCH I AM ENCLOSING BY MAIL MY CHECK FOR 20 DOLLARS WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS YOUR FEE.
[GD's note: 2/18/44 P.M. EC volunteered 3672-1.]
2/18/44 Father's letter which EC rec'd several days later: "...I have sent you a telegram tonight appealing to you for help for my daughter [3672]. The doctors have done everything possible for her, operating on her for cancer of the breast, two years ago, and have given her about 70 treatments by X-ray and other ways, [See 3672-1, Par. 3?] but now they tell me it is deep seated and they don't know anything that can be done, so she is gradually slipping away. So now I know that only God can heal her, and I appeal to you to do what you can to diagnose and recommend what you may find may be done.
Miss Iris Gabriel has corresponded with you and tells me you have three-parts of your service and I would like to have all three for [3672] if you deem it necessary to find the trouble.
I enclose a check for $20 and ask for an emergency date if it is possible for you to do so. I would be grateful for any help you can give. May God bless you in your work... P.S. Following is information about [3672].
Name: [3672], Born: Sept. 29, 1908, in Salt Lake City, Utah.
She is greatly interested in children, loves them and they love her to a remarkable degree.
She has had a children's shop and designed children's garments. She is highly spiritual, and has had for a friend one who seemed to teach her spiritual subjects, how to meditate etc.
Physically she must have suffered from deficiencies in food values while away from me and is now also anemic.
Perhaps you may ask me questions in your letter."

REPORTS

2/22/44 Ltr. from [3672]'s father: "Let me express my gratitude to you for taking the emergency reading for my daughter [3672]. It was kind of you, and necessary for her, for she was in great pain and felt hopeless at times.
Dr. Mary Miller came today, being unable to come before, and she started the treatment as outlined in your wire, with ultra-violet light with green glass. We have rented a lamp and will continue the ultra-violet light treatment each day. Also beet poultice and beet juice, and ash. [3672] is very much improved in spirits now, and has great faith that this will heal her completely as Dr. Miller has given her great encouragement.
If I may, I will write you again soon and report progress. Would you please send me the literature concerning the Ideal and Purposes of the Association, as I have not received them, and would like to know more.
I have a doctor friend who believes in this spiritual method and if you would, I would appreciate your sending him also your literature. He will be glad to receive it. Dr. Bernard Tranger, 430 So. Berendo, Los Angeles, Calif. He now has more than he can do, but no doubt would be interested in your society.
May I ask whether a check reading may be given and when it should be done? May God bless you."
3/15/44 EC's ltr. to [3672]'s father: "We are making the appointment for [3672] check-physical reading, Saturday 22nd April, 1944, EWT, from 3:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon.
Be sure to let us know just where she will be about one week in advance. Also any questions you might want to ask concerning her physical condition.
We have recently compiled a booklet called 'Physical Readings.' I believe you would find it very helpful in better understanding [See 3901-1 Reports], not only [3672]'s reading but the broadness of the information given through the readings. The book consists mostly of extracts taken from readings. If you would like to have a copy of this booklet, send your order to Miss Mary Wirsing, % Edgar Cayce. There is a charge of 50 cents to cover the cost of work and materials.
Hoping you are keeping a detailed record as a report for our files, since this is very important in doing research work..."
3/16/44 Wire to EC from Los Angeles [received Mar. 17]: "CONDITION APPARENTLY WORSE FATHER DESIRES IMMEDIATE RECHECK PLEASE COMMUNICATE DIRECTLY WITH [...] WIRE COLLECT - DR MARY MILLER."
[Replied: "Mr. Cayce's illness prevents immediate appointment. Letter in mail. Edgar Cayce's Secretary."]
4/22/44 GD's note: See 3672-2.
7/28/49 GD's note: See 3549-1 report, in re Miss [3549] using the green glass with ultra-violet ray with good results for rectal fissure, at Reilly's Health Club, as described in [3672] except for area of application.
7/28/67 Postcard to Hugh Lynn Cayce from Iris Gabriel: "I don't expect you to remember me, but Tom Sugrue would. There might even be a letter in the files during '43 - '44 from Hollywood concerning a girl your Father read for who had cancer. I wrote, and expect it might be in my name. I have followed your work & your Father's all these years devotedly, and would like very much to come down for Labor Day week-end. Would leave here Friday around 6:30 P.M. and would like to spend at least three days. If you have rooms & could put me up, that would be wonderful, if not, could you make me a reservation (reasonable) nearby? This might refresh your memory: I initiated the "Silent Guest" at Thanksgiving & other feast days for war orphans in Europe. Fed over 100,000 before Marshall Plan got going. Am in D.C. to offer it to Pres. for solutions here and in Holy Land." Sincerely, Iris Gabriel, 1400 20th St., NW, Washington, D.C.
