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, we have the body here, [3678].
As we find, there are disturbing conditions in the general physical forces of the body. These are the result of incoordination between the eliminating systems of the body. Thus there are upsetting conditions that arise from poisons not being eliminated through their proper channel. These are caused by the clogging of glands within the active forces of organs themselves, with the result of fecal forces in the colon.
These are the causes of the rash on portions of the body, the effects of nausea in the system or the stomach being upset at times, and the irritations that come to the body in various ways.
We would take these properties, that will not affect the body adversely because of the injections that have been necessary for the prevention of certain conditions in the body, neither will they work hardships - but it will be necessary that the body not get the feet wet during the time that these properties are being taken. This doesn't mean that he can't wash his feet, he must not wear shoes with the feet wet, for it would cause disturbance in other portions of the body.
Add these:
Mix these thoroughly, as with mortise and pestle. Every other morning, before the meal is taken, take a level teaspoonful of this mixture, either in water or dry - whichever way the body prefers to take it - until the whole quantity has been taken.
We will find that this will change the chemical reactions, purify the glandular system, and flush the alimentary canal for greater improvement.
One course of this should be sufficient. However, should there be a recurrence of the roughness on limbs or over the body, or face, then repeat the whole quantity.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Do the headaches come from this same toxic condition?
(A) As just indicated, the incoordination of the eliminating systems is the cause of those disturbances throughout the system. Do as outlined.
(Q) Is the bump on his head causing trouble?
(A) We haven't indicated it!
(Q) Will this treatment correct the hemorrhoids?
(A) Will aid. The exercises should correct this condition, when the alimentary canal is cleansed. Take the exercise daily as we have indicated for this condition: Standing erect, gradually rise on the toes, at the same time, raising the hands slowly from the side, arms extended, until they are high above the head. Then bend forward as if trying to touch the floor with the finger tips. This done several times each day, very slowly, will gradually lift the sphincter muscle and thus remedy the hemorrhoid condition.
Do these.
We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1/28/44 [3678]'s mother's ltr. to EC:
..., New York
Dear Mr. Cayce -
I am writing to ask for a physical reading for my son, [3678].
I have been convinced for some time that something is wrong with him, and since he has been home this time I am determined to find what it is, as it occurs to me to be increasing - when he was a little boy he bumped his head on the right temple, and a large lump has always been there. Of course my doctor says its all right, but I can't help wondering. He came home late Saturday night on a 10 day leave. This is what he tells me - His head always aches - He has dizzy spells - he has, AT TIMES difficulty in thinking and remembering - He is hungry for his meals, but after a few mouthfuls is nauseated - all he seems to want is MILK, more MILK!
He has been in the navy over a year, and is proud of his record. He is a quiet serious boy who minds his own business & tends to his work, & seldom goes on his ship. He is 19. He is very steady. He was engineer of a 50 Ft. landing cargo boat at Gela Sicily, and his ship, the U.S.S. - Betelgeuse, is a navy cargo attack ship. She has now left the Portsmouth yards, and gone to Chester, Pa., where the engine was built, to see if they can find whats wrong with the engine there. I tell you this so you will understand my anxiety about [3678]. He likes the navy, his ship, and his associates, and wants to make good - He is pronounced physically ok by the navy, yet he is far from it, something is very wrong, & increasingly so.
I know your schedule is crowded, but I am praying that you can make room for [...] within the next few weeks, while the ship is still at Chester, and accessible, so that I could get the remedies and send them to him - as soon as the engine is in order I'm afraid they will be on another invasion mission - As [3678] is subject & to order, his location would have to be the BETELGEUSE, at Chester, Pa - could he be found? I don't think he could tell ahead on what part of the ship he would be. And I thought I would ask for treatment that he could do easily himself -
I enclose a check for 20.00 dated Feb. 1. Please don't cash it before that date.
Very sincerely yours, Mrs. [...]
2/14/44 Questions submitted by mother: 1. What causes headaches, difficulty in studying and concentrating, aching limbs, lack of appetite, dizziness and nausea, etc? 2. Is the bump on his head causing trouble? 3. What remedy is suggested for the hemorrhoids? 4. Can the dry scaly rash all over legs, arms, etc., be stopped? (He has had this ever since he has been in the navy.) 5. Are there excess calcium deposits in his body?

Note: Please give name and address of any physicians who helped you carry out your reading. None
(Use reverse side, or additional sheet, if required.)
Q. Please give technical name of ailment. (This is needed for indexing and compilation of similar cases.) A. I do not know what it was called - He was away from home, I can't tell you. Was the compound taken just as outlined? What results were obtained? Did it become necessary to repeat this treatment. How many times. Did you take the exercise outlined for hemorrhoids? With what results? For what period of time did you keep up the exercises? Was the condition of headaches, nausea, aching limbs, dizziness, etc., disappear? I believe it was all benefitted - whether it cleared up entirely I do not know. He still at times has the headaches, but more rarely - He does not take it any more as the other symptoms are gone - would you think he could? I'm sorry I can't do any better on this.
