(Q) What treatment would you suggest?
(A) Remove the lesion, remove the spasmodic condition. In
moving the lesion you will take this away. Put something
there in its place. Manipulation along the spine, electrical
treatment, it will strengthen it, get the spasmodic
condition out, take it away. Something healing to the lung.
Use Iodine. Remove these conditions here will take from the
inflammation, break up this congestion through the lungs, the
air cells, produces an inflammation and soreness here, a
hurting up to the throat. Soreness all through the chest,
pressure. That is when we need the Iodine. Something to
stimulate; get the blood in and out, you see.
Same thing we have here to the head. We have the condition
to the head, to the nasal capacity [cavity?] here, right
here, in the head. This catarrhal condition here, choking
up, wheezing at times. We have from the reflex produces to
the nerve centers in the front of the head.
Now the lesions along the spine come in contact with this
through the nerve centers, through the cervical (second and
third) to the neck, around the chin up the face, relaxation
of the whole system will assist in removing the trouble from
the spine and from the lung. Then we have to take something
locally to remove the trouble in the head. Govern from the
condition in the head not to produce a reflex on the nerve
centers, nerve system to hurt it. Inhale something through
the nose.
[Following is the 2nd text version of 3983-1 as taken down by
another steno.]
EC: Beginning on this body at the head we find an abnormal
condition of the blood and the nervous system, especially, in
the nerve supply at the cervical region and the whole range
of the cerebrospinal system. There is no unusual trouble in
the head except the reflex trouble and the trouble we find in
the nasal tract. This is of a catarrhal nature. This is
caused from reflex conditions in the cervical region, also,
in the dorsal region. These lesions in the dorsal region
produce a spasmodic irritation of the nasal tract, larynx and
air passages in the lung, which result in the congestion at
times, followed by a shortness of breath and a gurgling in
the lungs and filling up, so to speak. There is a choking up
of the air cells in the lungs caused by any extremes of
temperature; too much hot or too much cold is liable to bring
this about.
This is all through the sympathetic system and secondary
cardiac plexus is also involved. The principle lesions are
located at the sixth and seventh dorsal vertebra and produces
directly the condition we find in the lower part of the
lungs, in fact, all through the lungs. We have a tickling in
the throat which produces a cough; this is not all the time
but only comes spasmodic. This engorgement of the air cells
of the lungs, also, comes at certain times.
The body, as a whole, is strong and robust, large, but this
lesion here at the sixth and seventh dorsal is responsible
for the majority of the trouble that he complains of. The
lesions are here all the time but their effects are not.
When nature exhausts itself in throwing out waste then the
overtaxed condition gives away to the exhausted nerve force,
a poor circulation which these lesions continually produce.
In treating this body first remove the lesions and the
spasmodic condition will pass away. Manipulation will remove
this, manipulate the spine; deep manipulation. Electric
treatment would, also, strengthen it at this point.
Internally - Iodine, also, for this spasmodic and aggravated
condition we might have to resort to Heroin which is not to
be taken unless necessary.
After these conditions are removed in the spine the
inflammatory areas will disappear, will break up the
congestion throughout the lung and air cells will expand
properly. This hurting in the throat and soreness throughout
the chest, this sense of pressure that he feels at times will
disappear. He needs stimulation to get this excess of blood
from the air cells.
Sometimes we have this reflex condition noticeable in the
head, due to this catarrhal condition in the air passages.
He becomes choked up wheezes. We have this trouble reflex
and produces trouble in the front part of the head. This
condition has involved slightly the nerve centers in the
cervical region at the second and third cervical. This
should be thoroughly relaxed, which will result if all this
is carried out in a thorough relaxation of the whole system.
This will assist nature in removing trouble from the spine,
from the lung.
We might, also, take something locally for this catarrhal
condition by inhalation.
BACKGROUND
6/18/10 Mr. Hyde's [
3983] letter:
Jacksonville, Alabama
To Whom it May Concern -,
Being personally acquainted with Mr. Edgar Cayce (the world's
wonder) I can cheerfully recommend him to the careful
consideration of anyone.
As to his wonderful work in diagnosing cases of the sick and
suffering humanity while asleep or in the hypnotic state,
will say he has been under my care a dozen times or more
while asleep, and has diagnosed several cases of people whom
I am personally acquainted with and know to be a fact beyond
a shadow of doubt that he has told of their troubles and
ailings as true as any doctor or the person who was sick.
Will gladly answer any further inquiry.
Andrew J. Hyde, Nauvoo, Alabama
11/09/10 He obtained his own Physical Reading, which is
assumed to be his first, since it did not state "We have had
this body before". [See 3983-1.]
REPORTS
8/11/24 He obtained
4795-1 for his sister.
10/17/30 He obtained
5653-1 for his friend.
6/10/34 He obtained
579-1 for his mother.
GD's note: From
6/18/10 through
3/02/43 Mr. [
3983]'s letters
to EC were full of friendship, faith in EC's work and the
constant attempt to help someone else through the readings.
His son was named for EC, and readings for other members of
his family were obtained through the years, with splendid
results [Mother [
579], sister [
4795], friend Mrs. [
5653],
etc.]. His last letter
3/02/43, referred to a prostate
condition with which he was troubled [and recent surgery for
hemorrhoids, and fistula], but all other letters had no
mention of any physical trouble of his own.
7/10/78 GD's note: For any copies of readings [referred to
in Mr. Hyde's letter under 3983-1, Par. B1] which may be on
file, see all those in date sequence (in Ala.?) prior to
6/18/10.
