TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. Now, we find there are those abnormal conditions in the body. These conditions, as we see, are produced by improper eliminations, and the effect this has had, does have, on various functioning organs and in various portions of the body. The condition has been called neuritis, and a stage of arthritis, so we see the effect his has produced in this body in terrifying pain and distress at times.
3. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this, we see, shows the signs of the infection from more than one source in the system. This is seen by the variation in the infection as has exhibited itself in various portions of the body, such as, we see, that which produces in the extremities that contraction of nerve plexus and of tissue as is involved about the joints. Others show the effect on muscular tissue, and the leading centers in locomotion. Hence a variation in the infection, as we shall see.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in many portions of the system do we find this effect of this toxin in the system, in various centers of the nerve system, both in the cerebro-spinal and in junctions of cerebro-spinal and sympathetic, as is seen in the brachial plexus and in the lower lumbar plexus.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, the body becoming super-sensitive through so much nerve strain, there has been produced, by those conditions as have been given as sedatives, that reaction in the sensory system that produces the dulling, as it were, of the respondence to the corresponding reaction in sensory organism and sensory system.
7. In the teeth and mouth do we find one source of the infection as originally showed in system. With the changes that have been made there, we find this has not removed the condition, only removed one source of the condition.
8. In the lungs and the respiratory system, the weakened condition (not organic) is caused by disturbance in the blood supply, the digestion, by properties as have been taken as sedatives, and the liver becomes involved through the KIND of sedatives as have been taken.
9. The greater source of the trouble comes through adhesions and lesions in the mesenteric system, and in the colon proper.
10. In the other organs in trunk portion, all suffer from these various conditions.
11. Then, to bring the normal forces for this body will take care, and a persistency in those apparently simple conditions as are to be applied to the body in many ways.
12. First, the body should use each day, for at least thirty days, the high enema, such as is found in the Cascade Elevator, or that which will CLEANSE THOROUGHLY the whole colon, using as an antiseptic in same very small quantities of the Glyco-Thymoline in the water. Take all that is possible, THOROUGHLY CLEANSING the system, see?
13. At the same time, at least every OTHER day, there should be given those vibrations of the Alpine Ray over the system. No use taking one without the other. Then, we would have at least FIFTEEN of such treatments. The adjusting of the ray should be to the spinal system, varying in the distance used from the body according to the body's responding to same. This will be found to be very nerve racking in the second or third treatment. At such times this should be kept far away, and the body perfectly relaxed through the application of massage and hot water along the spine in packs.
14. Then, the diet: This should be looked after VERY carefully. No meats, save fish or fowl, and this principally in a liquid form. Green vegetables. Fruits of certain characters - those of the smaller fruits preferable. Not too much sugar with these, yet the system must be kept FULL, that the reaction from liver, from spleen, and all of the eliminations of the emunctory system, may be kept NOMINALLY active - that is, in unison, not overtaxing one above the other.
15. At the end of that thirty days we would give further suggestions. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 5/24/26 [4271]'s husband's letter: "My brother's wife [4270] has been suffering tortures for about 15 years with what the doctors call neuritis; the fact is, they don't know."

REPORTS

1. 6/08/26 EC's letter to [4270]'s brother-in-law:
   Dear Mr. [...]
   I enclose you, herewith, a copy of the reading as was gotten for your sister-in-law, Mrs. [4270] and am mailing her a copy also. I certainly am in hopes that she will follow out the suggestions very closely that are given here and that through same she will find the greatest relief that she has ever had. You will notice by this that there is the suggestion that after following this for a certain length of time there should be another reading taken to check up on the conditions as they change. Be sure and let me hear from you from time to time.
   Hoping to have been of service, I am
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
2. 6/08/26 EC's letter to [4270]:
   Mrs. [4270] New Orleans, La.
   Dear Mrs. [4270]:
   In accordance with the appointment, the reading, as you see, was taken yesterday afternoon. I am certainly very much in hopes you will find in this that which will be of untold benefit to you, and toward your gaining your normal health.
   As you can very well see from this, it will be necessary for you to be very persistent with the application of those things suggested, also that you should have check readings made, and at such times I am sure it will be well for you and your husband, or your doctor, to make questions as regarding same, that we may try and offer the suggestion for the conditions as they change, from time to time. I would appreciate your letting me hear from you, for its our desire to be of help if at all possible.
   Hoping to have been of service, I am
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
3. 8/19/26 Husband's report:
   Mrs. [4270] was delayed in beginning treatment, due in part to her helpless condition and suffering, and also to the difficulty in finding the Alpine ray machine where she could arrange to take treatments.
   She is at present in hospital, where she has been for the past three weeks. There is a slight improvement in her condition, in that she can move with a little less pain. Her doctor has not deemed it advisable to give the high enemas until he builds up her general condition. I think he hopes to begin with the enemas soon.
   Very truly yours, [...]
