As we find we would have the application once or twice a
week of Castor Oil Packs. If these could be given regularly
for several days, it might be more easily eliminated. But
when it is practical, at least twice a week, apply over the
abdomen, and especially the caecum, and extending up the
right side to the gall duct area, Castor Oil Packs. Keep
them on for at least one hour or one and one-half hours at
the time. Cover this with an electric pad when it has been
covered so that it doesn't soil the linens from the oil.
Make the pack with two or three thicknesses of flannel,
preferably old flannel; saturate the flannel, not just pour
on, but saturate the flannel with the Castor Oil.
The next day taken internally at least 2 tbsp. of olive oil.
Each time following the application of the oil packs, massage
the body along the spine, especially the areas from the
lumbar axis to that area between the shoulders, with cocoa
butter; massage this thoroughly for at least fifteen to
twenty minutes, and let all the cocoa butter that the body
will absorb be rubbed into same.
This as we find, if it is followed, will relieve the sources
of this disturbance.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Is this connected with the foot trouble which has
recently developed, and what causes this?
(A) This is, as has been indicated, a part of the condition.
Massage from the lumbar axis. Foot trouble is a reflex
pressure on the nerves that lead to the brain through the
nerves of the sympathetic system to the cerebrospinal center.
(Q) Should the Olive Oil be taken the second day of the
packs, or after every pack?
(A) Should be taken after each pack, the next day after
the pack is given. Cleanse the portions with a weak solution
of soda water, then massage after each pack also. Use cocoa
butter in the massage, see? Do that and we will rid the
conditions in this body.
We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND
1/30/14 Born in New Jersey; married, no children.
In 1944, Mr. [
5052] and his wife lived in a village near
Virginia Beach. She came to A.R.E., met Mr. Cayce, and
requested a reading for her husband.
5/08/44 Wife's questions orally submitted to GD;
and remarks: "(1) What may be done to eliminate his terrible
headaches which come periodically? (2) What causes them? My
husband has had these awful headaches since he was 14 years
of age. At first doctors said it was his eyes. Later when
the headaches were more frequent and appeared worse, they
said it was sinus. Now they say they don't know what the
trouble is, and that he will just have to try to get his mind
off them. When the headache come on, it seems like there is
a tightening and pounding in the head, and the tiniest noise
sounds like a bass drum, and they blind him at times.
Apparently the atmosphere has nothing to do with the
headaches, as he gets them in a hot, dry climate also, but he
can always tell when a storm is coming by the way his head
feels." [Additional questions submitted are at end of
5052-1.]
REPORTS
5/44 Comment by IMG: "Shortly after the reading, Mr. [
5052]
and his wife came to my home in Oceana at GD's suggestion, to
discuss the instructions given in the reading regarding the
application of Castor Oil Packs and massage. I observed
their enthusiasm during that hour's discussion, and they left
saying they would begin the treatment at once."
6/08/44 Comment by GC: "I met Mr. [
5052]'s wife in the
grocery store today, and she said: 'I've been intending to
come in and see Mr. Cayce. Please tell him that since we've
started the treatments, my husband hasn't had a single one
of those awful headaches. We're so happy about it."
?/45 Second class test mailing to Camp ... Va. Whereabouts
