TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, while we find this body very good in many respects there are some abnormal conditions that to this body have become normal conditions for the body. There are conditions that may be corrected.
2. Now these are conditions as we find in this body, [3870], we are speaking of at the present time, in the blood supply in the body we find this very good in itself. In its circulation through the system we find some deflections from the regular channel in the circulation, for elimination in portions of the body has been hindered by the excess of forces attempted to be eliminated through the lower portions of the hepatic circulation, and this has allowed some forces to be carried back into the system and eliminated through improper channels. The number of red blood force are very good though below the normal. The white are above the normal.
3. In the nerve system we find the body very good in the cerebrospinal forces. In that of the sympathetic we find the body, over-responsive to the effects produced in the system for the conditions in the portions of the body about the lumbars show the affect this condition produces on the sympathetic system and gives to other portions in the body, especially in the sensory system, that, that effects these organs in part. When this condition through the sympathetic forces are overcome and when the condition as produced through the blood supply in its eliminating forces in the correct channels are given, we will find we will give the better force to the body than it receives at the present time.
4. In the functioning of the organs themselves, we find in the brain force, very good. In that of the throat, larynx, bronchials, the effect as produced in the sympathetic system at times and produced congestion through the nasal portion of body or head especially. That comes rather of a spasmodic condition than that of one that remains, for the condition is of the sympathetic nature rather than that of one in the system produced by organs being out of atune, as it were. In the organs of the sensory forces, we find the effect, especially, to those in this portion as being the deflected forces as produced in the system. In the lungs themselves we find the effect of the condition of the blood force. In the digestive tract, we find the spleen has been engorged and one end shows the condition as having been overcome by the force in the system and has been formed nearer the atrophy condition, that is, the left end. In the liver and the organs of digestion proper in the system the effect as from the condition in the kidneys and that as produced there shows as to how the deflection is made in the circulation and not carried on through the whole system. About the centers of the kidneys we find about this inner casing that which shows the action of the emuntories being overcharged, and they attempting to eliminate from the system, those of the strain to the body, hence the inflammation as is produced in the bladder itself here at times, this being at the present time more reflex and producing deflection than of being organic conditions to be dealt with direct.
5. To give the assistance to this body to bring about these conditions for a normal force in the body may be done if only followed very closely, especially, the diet, though he has been a dietician for some time. Though follow very closely - not meats themselves, though juices of the meats themselves may be used without the effect of the grosser portions of the flesh. We would, first, so stimulate the action of the solar plexus centers and the lumbar plexus so as to relax to give the reaction from the system in producing and forcing circulation through this portion of the body and give the brain force its reaction through the spleen in its affect over the system. This would be done by deep manipulation, osteopathically with heat applied of this nature and character: The alkalines would be applied to the body in saturated solutions and heat applied that would drive this into the system after the body had been manipulated sufficient to open all the pores and tissue in this portions of body, which would extend from the 10th dorsal to the first sacral. This should be done every third day, at least for two to three months. The diet for the body will then be regulated according to the conditions as overcome in the system with this treatment here. Do that.
6. (Q) What is different in this body from other bodies?
   (A) That is this body here, the conditions have been removed here in some places, you see.
7. (Q) Has this body been operated on?
   (A) This body has had this condition that is normal to this body that is abnormal to other bodies. Do as we have given. Leave those to themselves.
8. (Q) What is the seat of the trouble?
   (A) Spleen and kidneys, which affect the digestion and stomach and liver, circulation externally.
9. (Q) Should this body take any special exercise?
   (A) This will be plenty if this is rubbed in here, more than he has been taking for some time. We are through.

REPORTS

1. 7/06/23 Letter to friend Mr. [4700]: The reading is intensely interesting since the diagnosis agrees perfectly with what I know to be my physical condition. This knowledge of course I have gained through medical investigation and through my own experience in taking care of myself. My difficulties have always been those of elimination of waste and because of a spasmodic condition in the colon, which seriously interferes with its functions, the kidneys have been over-worked, although they have stood up under the heavy duty put upon them. However, they were not able to carry off all of the waste and as a result elimination, as Mr. Cayce says, has taken place abnormally. This manifests itself in ways that are more or less surprising. For instance, I have been for a number of years afflicted with recurrent eczema. When the organs of elimination are working normally or in nearly a normal manner, the eczema will disappear; when, however, the organs of elimination are working poorly the eczema appears and spreads and is greatly intensified. Physicians have told me that the eczema was entirely a local difficulty with the skin and had nothing to do with the result of the activities of the various organs of the body. I have known they were mistaken in this as the response of the eczema to the poor work of the organs of elimination, occurring uniformly over a considerable number of years, leaves no room for doubt of the very intimate relation between the two conditions. I have long since concluded that while the eczema was a source of great annoyance and irritation it was really serving a beneficial purpose in the auxiliary service it rendered to the kidneys and the bowels.
   I recite these circumstances to indicate the reasons which led me to agree that Mr. Cayce's diagnosis is correct.
   As to his advice for correction of the troubles that I have, I will follow it and hope that it may result in a satisfactory correction.
2. 9/14/23 [3870]'s letter to EC:
   Mr. Edgar Cayce, Selma, Ala.
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   I have your favor of the twelfth instant and desire to report that I have not yet availed myself of the advantages to be had from the recommendations made in the reading made by you on July fifth, as I have been traveling almost constantly since that time. It is my purpose, as soon as my trips have been completed, to undertake the treatment you have recommended.
3. 1/28/48 Postage guaranteed card was returned marked ADDRESS UNKNOWN.
