TEXT

GC: You will give a physical and mental reading for this body, giving suggestions for permanently freeing it from such attacks as it has been having. You will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding the body.
EC: This body we have had here before.
Now, we find there are bettered conditions in the physical forces of the body. These have to do with the eliminations and with conditions as have been brought about in the body by improper incentives within the system.
The body should be kept much along the same lines until the condition is entirely relieved, as has been outlined for the body; changing or alternating, necessarily, to meet the needs of the arising conditions as the body improves.
Now, in considering conditions to be brought about in the physical forces of the body that would bring the relief in a way and manner that there would not be re-occurrence of these conditions as appear from time to time:
Now, with the physical and mental, with this particular body, there must be considered the development of the body. Now DO NOT infer that because the body is strange or different from others that it is an abnormal condition for this body! For other bodies it might be an abnormal condition. THIS body's development is NOT an abnormal condition - for the body is PSYCHIC in a GREAT sense. Hence suggestions to the body - warnings to the body - haven't the same effect upon this body as they would upon others. Corrections for misdemeanor or mental conditions within its body, or within its actions physically, do not impress - or DO impress (however the case may be) the body. Quite different from that ORDINARILY seen. Not that it's abnormal, no! but the DEVELOPMENT is different.
Yet there must be physical conditions as produce or cause physical conditions resultant in the functioning of the body, as has been seen in the reoccurrence of the trouble with the stomach, or as has been recently seen when inflammation arose and distension occurred in the abdomen there was the indication of inflammation through the pleural cavity. This purely reflex - NOT pleurisy in its form of the action as is set up in the system that brings about the inflammation, yet reflex condition causing the distension AND inflammation, but not necessarily is a condition pleurisy because the pleural conditions are inflamed! no more than necessarily is it appendicitis because there's inflammation in the region of the appendix! These may be ENTIRELY reflex conditions, as exist in this body - for we find that causing the condition, that brings about the congestion, that reoccurrence in the digestive system, is the reflex condition from overcharged forces in the 4th, 5th and 6th dorsal, where the cardiac end of stomach becomes overgorged in its reaction, bringing about that reaction in the walls of stomach proper that brings the condition in the digestive system, as has been outlined, producing then inflammation in the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus, causing - in that portion of the system where the separation of the blood supply takes place - inflammation, congestion in liver, gall ducts become slow in action.
To meet the needs, then, would be to put the developing body under the care and influence of one knowing the proper way and manner to direct one so that each suggestion made to the physical developing body would be in full accord with that administered to the body for the physical correction, and for the physical and MENTAL DEVELOPMENT of the body! see? Do THAT. Such a one may be found in House [Thomas B. House, M.D.] at Virginia Beach; in Lydic [Lyman A. Lydic, D.O.] at Dayton, Ohio. These would understand that NECESSARY for the proper DEVELOPMENTS for the physical conditions, as well as that psychic and psychological force as produced through the action of the mental, or the developing mind of this body (which is far beyond the normal). Ready for questions.
(Q) The doctor attending her now states that she had pleurisy. Were her lungs or pleural cavity affected?
(A) Only sympathetically, as has been given.
(Q) What accounts for cough which she had and for peculiar mucus which she has been spitting up - yellow with white lumps in it?
(A) When there is pressure produced in the region as has been described, that misdirects the blood supply and all of the mucus producing, or all of the lymph producing forces in the body, you may be very sure that through the sympathetic forces - of the secondary cardiac forces - inflammation would occur in the bronchials and be thrown off in spittle, carrying whatever is suggested to the child, or as is seen by the forces in ITSELF, discharging or thrown off from the system. Purely a reflex condition, for the correction must be made if the physical forces are corrected - but do not forget that the MENTAL and the psychological conditions in the body must be carried along; not only as corrections for physical corrections as to the manner of the physical and mental development of the body - this child, this body, EXTRAORDINARY! should be developed properly!
That is all the questions.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

3/26/28 EC's letter: "...We were indeed glad to know the little girl [5679] was getting along better, and I'm certainly hoping that she will continue to improve. As I understand from the suggestions, it would necessarily need someone who would follow the information given very closely to gain the proper corrections for the physical condition. As to whether you would care for her to develop her psychic abilities or not, that would be another question. Please understand our physician in charge [Cayce Hospital] is a regular physician, and not one trained in developing psychics - though he is quite willing to carry out the suggestions for the physical improvements of the body, and just so much of the other suggestions you would desire. My opinion would be, as soon as she returns from the West Coast, that it would be well for you to have her under the charge of Lydic or House. This, of course, is at your own discretion - merely a suggestion on my part..."
10/06/44 Mother's letter: "...My husband [5680] had the pleasure of meeting you in Chicago in March, 1928 when you gave an informal talk at the LaSalle Hotel and at that time you gave him a reading for our daughter [5679], who was then ill in California. After that we lost tract of you, but just heard from our son in Norfolk that you are still giving medical readings at Virginia Beach. Will you kindly advise me if you can give us another reading on our daughter [5679], when, and what your fee is..."
GD's note: Due to EC's serious illness and subsequent death, naturally no further reading was given. Later when we tried to follow up the case, mail was returned marked moved left no address...
10/68 [5679]'s report to M. G. S.:
I was with my mother in California when I was taken sick - with very high fever. Evidently the doctor didn't know what to do and so she phoned dad. Then a reading was gotten for me. I remember showing improvement right away. Throughout my childhood, and until I was about eighteen I would have these "spells." When I was young, and when I would get sick they would use the same treatment on me. I was very excitable and that is when these attacks would come.
Re: 2nd reading: I used to have bronchitis and occasionally I still have this problem.
I guess you might say that I am psychic, but in a very negative way, and I don't like it. A couple of years ago, there was a plane crash in Florida, and I knew about that before it happened. This bothers me and I try to avoid such experiences.
I don't know why mother requested a reading for me in 1944. I read THERE IS A RIVER about ten years ago, and have been wanting to visit here ever since.
