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: You'd better hurry up and get home.
Yes, we have the body here - just coming in - [3677].
As we find, there is rather the complication of disturbances here. These in particular are the result of indiscretions in times passed (but in this experience) and the lack of proper eliminations being set up, with hindrances that contribute to deflections in nerve supply through the organs of the body, affecting circulation and causing those disorders and disturbances through parts of the body.
The distresses through the lung area are the results of those pressures in the 5th and 6th dorsal that deflect the circulation, causing a slow supply to trachea and bronchi, and thus producing a heaviness at times in the lungs themselves. However, while the lungs have been involved, these show no active conditions there that should cause greater stress.
Also those reflexes to the liver and the gall duct area are partially from the same pressures, but affect through the circulation, the cycle of digestion, when the gastric juices of the lower portion of stomach, flow into the lower portion of the duodenum during the periods of digestion or of the creating of chyle through the duodenum.
Thus we have a heaviness in the area and a plethoric condition exists in the ascending and a portion of the transverse colon. The pressures here also contribute to that, from a pressure in the lumbar and sacral, through the uterus.
Thus we have a discharge that becomes very aggravating to the body at times.
These, as we find, are the sources, the causes of the disturbances here with this body.
To aid in correcting these:
First, we would give that the body have a series of hydrotherapy treatments. These should include, once or twice a week, or twice one week and once the next week, a mild sweat - preferably the Fume Bath, rather than the dry cabinet bath. Use in the Fume Bath a teaspoonful of witchhazel to the pint of boiling water, with a little of the dry heat to begin the perspiration, and then the heating of this to steam in such a cabinet. Follow with a thorough rubdown using pine oil.
During the series of hydrotherapy treatments, the body should have at least three high colonic irrigations.
Then we would begin with Castor Oil Packs over the liver and gall duct area. Apply these for an hour each day for three days in succession.
Then take a tablespoonful of Olive Oil.
The next week, take the Castor Oil Packs again, one hour each day for three days in succession - the same three days. Use at least three thicknesses of flannel saturated with the oil, applying the electric pad.
When the Packs are started, use also for the pelvic organs a douche twice each week, using one week Atomidine, the next week Glyco-Thymoline. Twice in one week, you see, use the Atomidine Solution - one-half teaspoonful in a quart and a half of water, body temperature.
The next week, take two douches, using Glyco-Thymoline, in the proportions of a tablespoonful to a quart and a half of water, body temperature.
Use only a fountain syringe.
These should clear these conditions for this body.
In the diet - leave off too much of the fats that have been a part of the diet. Have more raw vegetables and more sea foods, and we will find better conditions.
When the hydrotherapy treatments and massages are given, it would be well that some corrections be made in the 4th lumbar, 9th dorsal, 3rd cervical.
Do that.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Should the teeth be extracted?
(A) Not necessary, if the body-forces are purified. Then use an equal combination of baking soda and table salt to massage the gums, rinsing the mouth with Listerine as an antiseptic. Then local attention for the teeth would be all that is necessary.
We are through with this reading.
Two copies to Self (one for the physiotherapist)

BACKGROUND

10/27/43 [3677]'s letter:
..., Calif.
Mr. Edgar Cayce, Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Mr. Cayce:
As a student of Occultism, I have been attracted to reading "There is a River", and I fully realize the enormous amount of good you have extended to your fellowmen.
I am 52 years old and for some years past I felt in my abdomen, cold spots, particularly in the right side.
At times my abdomen becomes very hard and I feel therein lightning flashes of pain.
The family doctor fails to see any cause of danger in the presence of these strange feelings, but last September, I went to a Chiropractor, who diagnosed a congested colon, liver and gall bladder.
He applied short-wave treatments and colonics, also gave me an eliminative diet and Epsom Salts baths.
The cold spots are still present in my right side and I cannot help suspecting these to be the basis of future trouble.
Hoping you will be able to give me a reading on my case, which I will implicitly follow, I am anxiously awaiting instructions.
I am the housewife of a workingman and I will promptly make payments, as you may direct.
Thanking you in advance for your kindness, I remain
Sincerely yours, [3677]
2/01/44 [3677]'s letter:
Mr. Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc. Virginia Beach, Virginia
Dear Mr. Cayce:
Yours of January 8th received, also under separate cover received the pamphlets as follows:
Meditation; Am I My Brother's Keeper; Life Readings The pamphlet of "The Essenes" was not enclosed. Would appreciate that same be forwarded to me at your convenience.
As my Physical Reading is to be held on February 19th, from 3:30 to 4:30 EWT, which will be 12:30 to 1:30 (PWT) in ... I will be in my home at ... Apartment, ..., California.
As to the questions, I desire to know the trouble, the cause and the cure of my gall-bladder, liver, colon, small intestines, appendix and uterus.
I have a slight cough, a continual clearing of the throat, which disappears when asleep. If I keep a conversation any length of time or if I read aloud, it irritates my throat. When I find myself in public places, that embarrassing cough gives people the impression that I desire to call their attention.
In my letter of December 10th, I have mentioned cold spots in my abdomen and now they have changed into continually burning sensations and feeling sore inside. I also mentioned a peculiar sensation as if the blood runs cold in the upper right side of my head towards the forehead and this condition seems to appear more frequently of late.
In last question, I would like to be informed regarding a couple of teeth. Lower right bicuspid, upper left bicuspid and upper right molar.
The above mentioned teeth are apparently in good condition and do not hurt me now, only my dentist stated the nerve is dead and diagnosed their extraction. I would not want to part with any of them unless you give me a good reason.
I am enclosing One dollar ($1.00) so that you will please send my physical reading by air-mail. I also wish to thank you for the interesting monthly bulletins received.
Sincerely yours, [3677]
