TEXT

1. 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 the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5108], present in this room.
3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions which are preventing better physical functioning. These, as we find, while apparently serious, if there are those persistencies and consistent activities as may be indicated for this body, and the keeping of that mental attitude which has been and is a part of the consciousness of the entity, the body may yet skip, hop and jump.
4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body [5108], we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. First, in the blood supply, there is indicated how that there are those deficiencies in the abilities of the assimilations to supply those elements in the hormones of the body, those correct elements for the balancing and replenishing forces in nerve supplying energy.
6. This, then, is a glandular disturbance as combined with same, which causes the conditions in the muscular forces to become lacking in their ability to reproduce themselves properly. Thus, losing the ability for coordinating of the activities in the muscles and tendons and nerves, voluntary forces and reflexes become involuntary.
7. These are the sources, these are the causes of the disturbances here. While the conditions in the teeth would be better if there were some removed, this is not the source. Thus, as we find, some local work done would be advisable, but the removing of same wholly, no. For these are much better than store teeth, even though they are disturbing at times.
8. Those conditions as related to the activities of the body in conception are such that, when there has been those changes wrought as may come to the body, this will be well. For as indicated, this attitude of mind, of body is that which is in keeping with divine purpose for recreation in the earth of those souls who may bring to the earth those greater concepts of the relationships of man to Creative Forces or God, in Christ-Jesus.
9. In the applications, then: we would begin first by having prepared the low Wet Cell Appliance that will carry to the body vibratorially certain elements and properties which are the basic influence in the activity of the gland and blood and nerve supply to the body, and taken through these means or channels may be assimilated by the body, with the activities of the digestive forces to either the sympathetic or cerebrospinal nervous systems or blood supply, or without creating a taxation to any of the central organs of the body.
10. We would prepare this with the two pounds of the Copper Sulfate and the rest of the ingredients in proportion.
11. We would make the Chloride of Gold solution one grain to one ounce of distilled water, using 3 ounces of the solution at a time. This would be changed (the solution), as would the recharging of the Appliance, every 30 days. This also would be an Appliance in which there would be the charging of the Appliance with the solutions to charge; that is, making the Appliance in the manner indicated, then suspend in the solution 3 ounces of the Tincture of Iodine. Preferably have the bottle with a glass stopper, this suspended and then put on a battery charge, slow battery charge, and let it be charged for one hour. Then the solutions would be given.
12. The larger plate would be attached always to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus, which on this body would be the width of four fingers from the navel center to the right, and two fingers up from that point. And attach the larger plate which passes through the Gold Solution, see? The Atomidine or Iodine solution is already in the Appliance, so only the Gold as a solution is to be given vibratorially to the body. For the rest goes with the Gold Solution.
13. The small plate should be attached to the lumbar axis, see? 4th lumbar axis. This is to be taken each day for 30 minutes.
14. This is to be followed by a massage which would be thoroughly given over the whole body, particularly along the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nerve system; that is, the spinal column and the sympathetic nerves and run parallel with the spinal column. But across the diaphragm area, just under the edge of the rib and the lower limbs, the arms, the neck, the area across the shoulders and the collar bone area, also to the entrance of the mammary glands with the 6th dorsal areas, which runs then from the 6th dorsal around under the arms to the clavicle, over the right and left breast to the lower portion of the clavicle or the breast bone, the sternum area.
15. In the massage use 2 ounces of Olive Oil, 2 ounces of Peanut Oil, 1/4 ounce of Lanolin (melted), these proportions, though a much larger quantity than just four and one-quarter ounces would be made up to be used. This should be massaged in a circular motion. When given, this should be done daily. Take the time to give this.
16. In the diets for the body: Do add the vitamins as found especially in Wheat Germ or Wheat Germ Oil, which may be taken either way, whichever is most desirable for the body. If the Wheat Germ is taken, this we would take in cereals. Or if the Oil is taken, this may be taken in the capsules or pellets which are prepared by certain drug companies and may be bought in that form. Also take B-1.
17. Then the diets or the foods: Just a regular diet. What you feel like eating, eat.
18. Keep eliminations good. If there are disturbances because of inactivity, do use occasionally enemas, as well as the senna tea, using senna leaves; say three, four or five, put in hot water, let stand for 30 minutes, strain and drink it.
19. Do these. And then the attitude through the periods when there is the application of the Appliance: Let that be the period of prayer. Ye know in Whom ye have believed, and that He is able to deliver thee from the bonds in the flesh. For who healeth thy diseases? Who keepeth thy mind, thy body in the more perfect accord? The giver of all good and perfect gifts. He who is, who was, who will ever be the light of the world to those who seek His face. He will not turn His face away.
20. Ready for questions.
21. (Q) How may I overcome the fear I have of falling down steps?
    (A) Know, as He has given, that He will give His angels charge concerning thee and will bear thee up. Let that faith, that trust, which has sustained thee in the present, keep thee from fear of any kind. Not that precautions are not to be taken, for that's what railings are built for! Hold to them, but don't trust them. Trust in the Lord who giveth man judgment and the abilities to those to prepare such!
22. (Q) Please suggest a hobby that I would use constructively?
    (A) Stamps. These would be well for the body, and you'll have a very good chance soon for collecting of many such. These ye may study as to what their place is in the nations' accepting or rejecting the Lord, and such a hobby may be made to be far reaching and worth while.
    Be patient, be persistent, for He will bring it to pass.
23. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. Mrs. [5108]'s husband and Mr. Harmon H. Bro were old classmates. In 1944, while he was in the service, stationed near Virginia Beach, he visited Mr. Bro, who was working on a special assignment at the A.R.E. office. The husband told Mr. Bro how concerned he was about his wife's case, which doctors had diagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis, with no hope of recovery. Mr. Bro spoke to him about Mr. Cayce. As a result an appointment was made within the week for Mrs. [5108]'s reading. She and her mother came to Virginia Beach two days before the reading, where they remained for about a week. At that time, Mrs. [5108]'s condition was such that she tired easily at the slightest exertion. She walked with extreme difficulty, requiring assistance, especially when using stairs. Mrs. [5108], her husband, Mr. Bro and his wife, were very enthusiastic when the appointment was made for the reading. However, Mrs. [5108]'s mother did not share their enthusiasm. She was skeptical whether the reading would do her daughter any good.
2. 5/15/44 Questions orally submitted in addition to those at the end of 5108-1: "(1) If I had my teeth extracted, would that improve my present condition? (2) Will I ever be able to have a child?"

REPORTS

1. 5/44 Wet Cell Appliance ordered from A. M. Godfrey.
2. 10/21/44 Letter: "Mother and I hope that you and Mrs. Cayce had a most pleasant summer, and that all of you are in the best of health. I would like my check reading on Wednesday, 11/15. Our home is ... I would appreciate your letting me know the approximate time of my reading, and I would prefer it in the morning. My treatments were taken faithfully until 2 weeks ago, when the cool autumn weather came and the furnace has not been started. Up-to-date, I don't feel that I have received ANY benefit from the treatments and massages. Perhaps you will suggest a different procedure for me to follow. Hoping for an early reply..."
3. 10/23/44 A.R.E. form letter sent regarding EC's illness.
4. 1948 Discontinued Associate Membership.
5. 3/15/50 Questionnaire sent. No reply.
6. 8/51 Comment by IMG: "Last week, I approached Mrs. Harmon Bro, (who was staying at Virginia Beach) for additional information on this case. She replied: 'I haven't seen or heard from Mrs. [5108] or her husband since they were here in 1944. I do recall however, that she was very optimistic after the reading; she was especially encouraged when it stated that she could some day have a child. At that time she was not well enough to live alone; with her husband still in the service, she made her home with her mother. Because of her mother's skepticism and lack of cooperation, to my knowledge, the treatments outlined in the reading were not followed. If I ever run into them again, I'll let you know.'"
7. 7/09/52 No record of verbal or written contact on this case since 10/21/44.
