TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Now, we find little has been done regarding those conditions that have been given to be used as corrective measures for the disturbing forces of this body. Some SEMBLANCE, at least, of that given should be attempted, should one continue to ask for information through these sources; for the causes - not the effects, altogether - have been GIVEN, and will those properties in and for eliminations be carried out, we will find the body on the improve.
2. That the conditions in the limb are aggravated at times, and that the lymph and the serums about same become inflamed, or show the disorders in system, these are but effects. Specifics for this condition - added to those already outlined, as for cleansing system, setting up eliminations, changing the vibratory forces and the blood supply in the body - would be the mullein stoops [stupes], PREFERABLY the green mullein; though, if this is not available the dry may be used. Use in the form of a poultice direct to the skin itself. This, as we find, will relieve the immediate conditions.
3. We would also add, that those properties in the carbon ash be used at least one-eighth grain taken every other day, and that twice each week the ultra violet for three minutes be given over the extremities and the lumbar area.
4. Well, too, were manipulations or adjustments given - AFTER the cleansing has begun, not before. Begin in about a week to ten days. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) What caused condition?
   (A) Infection - blood condition, as first given.
6. (Q) Is a surgical operation necessary or desirable?
   (A) We haven't given one, have we?
7. (Q) Any special diet?
   (A) This has been outlined, as for the diet. Beware of the sweets, and of those things that make for too much of the character of lymph that is produced in the serums in the system. Most of these, as we find, will be clarified through the use of the ash.
8. (Q) Should he continue to wear brace while treatment is being given, or is it necessary?
   (A) When used too much, or used to excess, the brace may be found occasionally to be necessary - but greater dependence may be put upon the limb and the condition when treatments are PROPERLY carried out. Don't leave out any of it - whether the Bitters, the irrigations, or those of the whole conditions as given.
9. (Q) How long should it take to correct the condition?
   (A) How persistent will the body be?
   How systematic? How active in carrying out the suggestions? These, as we find, should respond almost IMMEDIATELY - but will require some time to eliminate wholly from the system; for a blood condition is IMMINENT!
10. (Q) Should body take setting up exercises? If so, which ones?
    (A) Those preferably that are taken for the upper portion of body, rather than the lower - see?
11. (Q) What will convince the boy to insure his full cooperation to follow the information given?
    (A) Himself!
12. (Q) Is there anything that can correct condition by injection?
    (A) We have given the better way. There may be many ways, but to harden the serums and to cause the condition to become acute through the segregation of same in system - as WE find - would NOT be the better way. Keep the drainages eminent, as has first been given. This isn't the cause of a condition - the EFFECT of a condition! This has been GIVEN. Do as we have outlined.
13. (Q) What diet is best for body?
    (A) This has been outlined!
    The stoops [stupes], as we find, would only be used when the body is in pain, or in evenings - see? for twenty-five to thirty minutes. Then would be a day or two days before they would be used again. If stoops [stupes] of the green leaves themselves are used, bruise these - pour hot water over them - then spread them over the affected portions, the knee, the scapular [patellar?], and the portions about same. In the use of that dried, this would only be put in the water (hot water) and then spread over (the small particles), then bandaged and allowed to remain for twenty to thirty minutes - until it has DRAWN sufficient of these places; should then be bathed off and dressed, with any of the mild antiseptic solutions to prevent abrasions or growing conditions that cause infectious forces for the system.
    With the use of the ash and those of the lights, we will find the releasing of the oxygen sufficient to make for the better conditions. DO that, following ALL suggestions given! We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 7/60 Notes on EPILEPSY cases from the Edgar Cayce records made by Walter N. Pahnke, M.D., July, 1960 at A.R.E., Virginia Beach, Virginia:
   The following notes were taken on cases as read and are merely the opinion of the abstractor at the time he read the case plus the correspondence. The main value of these notes is that they give some indication of what the exact diagnosis in each case may or may not be.
   Case [3918]. 18 year old male. This case was classified in group 3. There was no sign of epilepsy in either the history or the reading. Maypop Bitters were suggested as a treatment, but this in itself is not sufficient evidence to classify this case as epilepsy. There was no follow-up.
   [GD's note: Simply because the reading recommended Mayblossom Bitters Case [3918] got indexed under epilepsy, and that is how it was considered by Dr. Pahnke when he was making the epilepsy survey.]
