In the digestive system we find that condition wherein there
is not an even balancing between those of the lacteals,
or the acid and the alkalin. This BEGINS in the salivary
glands, where not sufficient of the lactics or of the
non-acids mix properly with the food values. Hence we
have acidity predominant at times; then we have again
an over-abundance of the NON-acid in the system. Hence
the pains as come to the extremities, as in arms, as
in shoulders, as in the lower limbs - these are as the
reflexes of the disturbance of the glands, produced by this
non-activity through this portion of system as given, until
they act with the lacteals; so that neuritis, or neurosis, or
the effect of nerve tension in portions of the system becomes
the results of same. This makes for those conditions as
arise in throat at times; the insomnia as prevents the
normal rest for resuscitating forces, coming mostly with
the activities of the glands, becoming active through the
dormancy of the sensory forces, becoming active forces
rather than the waking forces in the body. These also show
themselves through those glands in the reproductive system,
so that irritations arise form the false pelvic organs from
this lack of muco-membrane activity; so that a tendency for
the dryness to the system, the variation as this has in the
system, or the effects as produced from the active forces in
the eliminations, where over-abundance in the eliminations
in menses - and again the recess, or the lack OF and the
improper PERIODS - become the activities from these general
distresses, as come from an unbalanced system. A form, then,
of catarrhal condition, but rather that of the DRY than the
effluvial, or abundant, or plethoral activity of the portions
of system as are affected by same. Ordinarily we find
with such conditions that there is an anemia that goes with
same, this in the blood supply itself. This, as we find,
is APPARENT, but as yet has not reached the condition where
the system has adjusted itself TO such conditions. Hence is
rather spasmodic in its relationship to the system. Hence we
have a VARYING pulsation, so that the heart's action itself
varies as to the respiratory activity of the system; as we
have at times shortness of breath, again it is easier to
gain a long deep breath, as inhalation, while exhalation at
such periods feels as if PAINS - or depressions through the
respiratory system. These are effects of the lack of lymph
and emunctory circulation.
In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions for this body,
[
3988] we will find that will there be added to the system
those properties as will change the VIBRATIONS IN the system
- so that eliminations are normally carried forward, so that
assimilations produce more activity in the muco-membrane
active forces of the system - these will create FOR the body
an even balance within the system; relieving these tensions
in the nerve supply, relieving those pressures and those
uneasy feelings as are experienced by the body in many
directions, relieving that distress or tendency for the body
to become neurotic in its activity, relieving those pressures
that make for DRUMMINGS for the nerve system - as related
to the sensory system, as when those noises come for the ear
at times, that dryness when ready for speech, that condition
of fear as comes over the system at periods then suddenly
aroused from reverie or from sleep, or from any unseeming
activity. These, as we find, may be added to the system
by the addition of those properties as are lacking for the
glands' functioning. These, as we find, would be better in
those of the Atomidine, taken in the way and manner as to
become absorbent and assimilated for the system without
producing or causing the arising of irritations to the
capillary circulation.
Then, we would begin with three to five drops of Atomidine
twice each day. We would take it for a period of five to six
days, then REST a period of three to four days. DURING that
period of rest we would take those manipulations or massage
as would gently make for coordinating of centers along
the cerebro-spinal system, stimulating the impulses from
the various nerve plexus to the activities of first the
circulation to the throat and head, second to those of the
upper portion of the diaphragm, or the lower portion of
lung and heart's activity, next to those of the solar plexus
center, where we will meet with those that make for the
functioning - that is, the SYMPATHETIC functioning - through
impulse to the organs of digestions and the upper portion of
the pelvis and eliminating centers. Then those of the lower
lumbar as would make for the relief of pressures in the lower
extremities and for the pelvic functionings. These we would
take each day during that three to four day period. Then
rest from these and begin a period of taking the Atomidine
again, which is to STIMULATE the functioning of the glands
of the system. We will find that with the proper precautions
as to the diet, that make for the regular BUILDING of blood
supply, normalcy of the nerve system, then we will make for a
normal condition in this body, [
3988] we are speaking of.
(Q) How long should this treatment be kept?
(A) Until the body KNOWS that it has been properly balanced
in its activities, and there are no returns or those
disorders that act in the extremities, especially in
the nerve forces of the extremities.
(Q) Will this monthly condition the body has been having
clear up soon?
(A) As we will find, with the taking of these properties
and these manipulations - and we would take these
osteopathically, but more the massage than the correction of
vertebrae centers, see; one that would work in conjunction
with that as being given - that by the second month these
conditions should be near normal. These may be expected as
flushes coming at times, but these should clear to near a
normal condition.
These taken, now, in the way and manner as given - first
the Atomidine that will add iodine to the system that is
assimilated with the system, reduces the potash and adds to
the ability of the lymph and the muco-membranes of the system
to secrete proper secretions for the functioning of organs;
then the manipulations - or PERIODS of manipulations - that,
with the massage, making coordination of IMPULSES in centers
along the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic system, that make
for UNISON in functioning. Do that. We will find READY
relief. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND
10/20/31 [
3988]'s letter:
Dear Mr. Cayce,
Thank you for your prompt reply to my letter. I feel sure
that you can help me.
For two and a half years I have had neuritis and am never
free from the pain entirely. At times it is of course quite
severe. I should like to know if possible, the cause and
cure. I have also a tendency to anemia which is either the
result or cause of certain internal troubles. It would be
a great relief to me to know how to treat this, since I have
to be in bed a good deal. There is considerable pain and
backache in this connection.
Anything you can do for me will be greatly appreciated.
Very sincerely, [
3988]
REPORTS
4/23/34 EC's ltr. to [
3988]:
My dear Mrs. [
3988],
It's been some little time since we have heard from you. I
certainly am hoping you have gotten along nicely. We don't
know just how much value the information received through the
readings can be, unless we hear from those who apply - or do
not apply - that given. We would like to know just what has
been your experience. And we want to keep as close check
on each one as possible. We can only do this with the
cooperation of the individuals whom we have tried to help.
We would like very much to have your report. If the reading
hasn't been of a service, we would like to know why. For, we
are only desirous of passing along that we have found to be
good in the experience of our members; and that which hasn't
been good, we want to know why. And this we want to tell, of
course, also to those who may seek from time to time through
these channels. Not that we want to parade any special
experience of an individual, unless that individual desires
that it be so, but we would like to have your own personal
experience - whether good or bad.
We would appreciate hearing from you. With kind personal
regards, I am
Sincerely, EC:GD
