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 questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body, [4047].
In giving the analysis of the physical disturbance here, we find that there are very definite disturbances. Owing to the positions and the activities of the body, there has come near the waistline in the cerebrospinal system a pressure producing a lesion. This being in association with the sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems, disturbances are produced in the sensory organisms; affecting the lymph circulation, as indicate in the type of sinus disturbances that occur.
These pressures also are of such natures and in those areas where they affect, through the central nervous system and blood supply to organs, the liver and its activity as related to the production or distributing through and with the digestive forces, in the activities through the jejunum or upper portion of the alimentary canal; producing the tendencies towards acidity - as the ducts and glands that supply with the excretions of the liver.
Thus the disturbances having to do with with tendencies for colds, for acidity; at times a very tired "all over" feeling. It is not so distressing as yet as to cause acute conditions, but may with the upsettings through the digestive body; as those things that might produce excess acidity, or excesses in carbohydrates, may cause an acute disturbance.
First we find that there should be several osteopathic adjustments, which means more than three and less than twelve; with special reference to clarifying these disturbances, equalizing the pressures through the whole cerebrospinal system, emptying the gall duct osteopathically.
Thus we would bring better conditions for this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Is the climate of ..., Texas satisfactory and should I remain here?
(A) The climatic conditions here are not the basis of the trouble. They body can adjust itself. As we have indicated bodies can usually adjust themselves to climatic conditions if they adhere to the diet and activities, or all characters of foods that are produced in the area where they reside. This will more quickly adjust a body to any particular area or climate than any other thing.
(Q) Is a diet composed mainly of fruits, vegetables, eggs, and milk the best diet for me?
(A) As indicated, use more of the products of the soil that are grown in the immediate vicinity. These are better for the body than any specific set of fruits, vegetables, grasses or what not. We would add more of the original source of proteins.
(Q) Is smoking detrimental?
(A) If smoking is done in moderation it is not too detrimental to the body. Do not overdo it.
(Q) Are daily heavy chocolate malted milks detrimental?
(A) Chocolate that is prepared in the present is not best for ANY diet. This, too, the chocolate is not produced in the vicinity of ... Those foods that may be taken from the vicinity or food values of that nature are the better. Take plenty of milk - you will find some of that around ...
(Q) Is beer in the amounts I have been drinking it detrimental?
(A) Do not use any of those things made from hops!
(Q) Will these treatments alleviate my nervous tension?
(A) They will alleviate the nervous tension.
Do as has been indicated.
We are through with this reading.

Dear Mr. Cayce:
In reply to your letter concerning my readings coming Feb. 9, I regret to say that I have not been able to find out the hour of my birth, but the date is Nov. 4, 1907, and the place is Oakcliff, a suburb of Dallas, Texas. I will be in ..., Texas on the day of my readings.
In regard to the physical reading I would be glad to have answers to the following questions:
1. What is causing the frequent and severe colds and sinusitis which I have? 2. What remedial measures should be taken? 3. Is smoking detrimental to me? 4. Is my diet, composed mainly of fruits, vegetables, eggs and milk, the best one for me? 5. If not, what diet should I use? 6. What measures should be taken to alleviate my nervous tension? 7. Is the climate of ..., Texas the most suitable for me, if not, where should I go?
3/09/44 Additional questions:
More to add to the Physical Reading: 1. Does my diet contain some food causing tooth decay? 2. Is there any harm in my drinking some beer?
The results of these readings will be invaluable to me, as I am sure they are to all others you have served. And I wish to thank you again as well as wish you fine health and every pleasure.
Yours most cordially, [4047]
4/01/44 EC gave his Physical Rdg., answering some additional questions which he submitted 3/25/44.

4/22/44 [4047]'s letter to EC:
Mr. Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., Virginia Beach, Virginia
Dear Mr. Cayce:
On April 14, your report of my physical reading of April 1st arrived. I was most happy to receive it, and have begun the osteopathic treatments which you recommended. The osteopath, Dr. J. L. Love of Austin, found the lesions in my back which you mentioned, and said that they could be responsible for my physical difficulties and disturbances which you mention, and that they needed correction badly.
I already have started to improve physically, and I am looking forward to a return to normal health with its resultant increase in both the quality and quantity of my work, and in the general enjoyment of life - I am most grateful to you.
I would like to become a full member of your organization, and would be glad to receive information relative to full membership and a statement of when my next dues will be expected.
It was understood according to your letter of Feb. 22, 1944 that there would be on April 1st both a physical and life reading for me. I have not as yet received your report of the life reading. In my questions for that reading were some, the answers to which would have considerable bearing on some decisions that have been hanging fire for several months. I am consequently most anxious to receive this report as soon as possible. I do not mind waiting so much when I know exactly how long I have to wait. I will therefore appreciate greatly if you will inform me when I may expect to receive this report, and I am inclosing a stamped air mail envelope for your convenience.
Assuring you that I am deeply indebted to you for your great assistance to me, I am,
Respectfully yours, [4047]

How many treatments were taken? In your opinion, was the diagnosis given in the reading correct? Was the condition cured while the patient was in your care? If you have the address of Mr. [4047], kindly let us have it. We would like to contact him for an up-to-date report. Thank you.
[Doctor's comments:] Mr. [4047] was treated about 20 times in 1944 and again in 1945. Occasional treatment was given in 1946. The recommendations were excellent as to diet and surprisingly accurate as to location of osteopathic lesions.
I do not know his present address.
