Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1204].

2. As we find, in the present there have arisen disturbances such that warnings should be taken as respecting same; else we may find a localization of a disturbance in such a way and manner as to make for a deficiency of such a nature as to become destructive to structural portions of the body. Or with the administrations such as have been made, or that have been as inclinations, without correcting the basic causes of same, we may have other disturbances arising of a nature that may be equally as disturbing to the better physical forces of the body.

3. In the present we find there has been an inclination for an unbalancing in the glandular forces in the manner of the secretions between potash and alkalines, or potashes and iodines in the system. The potashes have been as in an excess, and this combination with those influences of the structural portions or its activity upon same has become localized in a condition in the pelvis and thus we have had and have an inflammation of the covering of the hip bone, and the pelvis end of same. And we find that there are those reflex conditions where the body complains of being tired, shortness of breath at times, a fullness through the digestive system, tendency towards an irregularity through the periods of the menses; conditions that arise from headaches that are of an abnormal nature, and have settlings of acute conditions in various portions of the system. These are the effects and basic causes arise in a clogging or choking through not only the thyroid glands themselves but some hindrance through the adrenals and the lack of a balance of activity through the assimilating forces as augmented with the activity of the thymus as well as the activity in the lacteals as they assimilate from the system through the chyle’s activity to certain food values.

4. As we find in making for corrections, these would be of a specific nature.

5. Ready for questions.

6. (Q) Is there any cause for real worry as far as the present health of the body is concerned? (A) There is cause. Unless these corrections are made, or those that may overcome, these may become very specific - as indicated.

7. (Q) Has the diseased area in the spine completely cleared up? (A) It is not so much of a diseased area as a distressed area that has been and is moving about through crystallizations or the structural portions becoming affected by inflammation of the covering of the bone itself. And these are localized more in the present in the pelvic forces and hip joint.

8. (Q) Is this what is making the right hip so prominent? (A) This is the cause.

9. (Q) What can we do to remedy that condition? (A) As we would find, these would be the outlines for these - and it will require that there be persistence, and because the body feels better not to relax in the efforts until there has been a complete change in the balances of the influences in the blood supply, and those forces and elements that are carried in same, from the activity of the glandular forces not making for their proper distribution of the influences from the salts and elemental forces of the body-functioning itself.

First we would begin with very small doses of Atomidine to clarify or purify the system. Begin with one minim in water before the meal of mornings, and evenings before retiring.

And as we find unless there are those effects of a great deal of disturbance leave off everything else while following these, see?

Take the Atomidine in this manner for at least five days.

Then we would leave same off while we would take those properties for the CLEANSING of the whole alimentary canal. For this we find it would be preferable to use the liquid of that compound called Simmons’ Liver Regulator. This is to stir the liver as well as to make for a cleansing through the alimentary canal without producing too great an inflammatory force through the jejunum and the colon.

After this has acted thoroughly we would begin with other properties. But take two doses of the Simmons’ Liver Regulator in the liquid; a teaspoonful taken about three or four o’clock in the afternoon, a teaspoonful at bed time. Preferably take this on a day when the body may rest through the day following, see?

Then, after this has cleansed, begin with the compound called Fletcher’s Castoria. Take at least two small-sized bottles of same, in broken doses, which would require two days or more, you see - the dose being half a teaspoonful about every hour apart. Rest during those periods as much as possible.

In six to eight hours after all this Castoria has been taken, take a high enema - the temperature of same being the temperature of the body, or about ninety-eight degrees; the solution for the enema preferably combined with salt and soda. To a gallon of water use about a heaping teaspoonful of salt - table salt, and a level teaspoonful of baking soda. This then will make for a cleansing of the system.

Then begin with the Animated Ash. Take every other day one-eighth grain, in the evening. Five to ten minutes after the dose has been taken, apply the ULTRA-violet - not violet but ULTRA-violet; the better being the Mercury Quartz Light, you see, which is preferable, for it is deeper therapy than a Sun Light or a Carbon Light. This to be given for a minute across the area of the lower portion of the spine and the RIGHT hip, see? This to be given every other day for a period of six to ten treatments.

Then begin with the manipulations osteopathically, gently given, for the reactions throughout the whole of the spine and the whole of the limb itself.

This SHOULD destroy those influences provided the diets are kept proper during the whole period and following same.

Beware of white bread, ever. No Irish potatoes. No sweets that are taken as of pies, cake or the like. Honey as sweetening may be taken. Fruits, vegetables are better, but not much of meats. One meal each day, whether morning, evening or in the noon, one whole meal should consist of RAW vegetables. Combine these of all the leafy and all those vegetables that may be combined in a salad. Lettuce, celery, carrots, beans, spinach, lettuce, onions, cabbage, any or all of these. Such a salad may be changed occasionally to a whole FRUIT meal; as apples, oranges, peaches, lemons, pears - don’t put in any bananas! All of these may be combined and used instead of the meal of vegetables. Meats if they are taken at all should never be fried; in fact, NO FRIED FOODS AT ALL!

Do these and be consistent, doing all in the ORDER as indicated, and we will find we may make these corrections that will alleviate these disturbances for the body.

In the manipulations do not make too many but stretch them over a longer period. For the first two weeks about twice or three times a week, then for a longer period or once a week or once in two weeks have these general treatments.

After a period of ninety to a hundred and twenty days has passed, we would give further instructions, see whether there is a alleviation of those combinations or a localization of the inflammatory conditions.

10. (Q) Is one leg shorter than the other? (A) It will be if the condition continues to exist!

11. (Q) Should the glasses be changed? (A) If these corrections are made and all of these vibrations for the body, do not change until after these full treatments have been given.

12. (Q) Is there any sinus trouble? (A) Sympathetically, yes. This should clear with a cleared circulation, for naturally from a combination of disturbance of inflammatory conditions to mucous membranes that affect the coverings of the bones themselves, these make for a toxic condition in the form of congestion - as shown in the mucous through the alimentary canal, as shown in the mucous accumulations in the lower portion of the stomach, and naturally makes for same in sinus and throat at times.

13. (Q) Are the teeth in perfect condition? (A) These are very good and will be much improved when those changes as to the diets and the cleansings of the system are made, together with the corrections throughout. Because the body feels better with these cleansings, DO NOT LEAVE OFF! We must make for the eliminations through the proper coordinations of activities of the body.

14. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 7/18/36 Mother’s letter:

Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Va.

Dear Mr. Cayce:

Thanks very much for your promptness in mailing [1204]‘s reading to me. It certainly does give me a warning and I can assure you that we will heed it most religiously. I will certainly let you know how we come out on this.

In the meantime, I am enclosing herewith $5.00 which I did not expect to have. I made a loan a long time ago and forgot all about it and it was handed back to me yesterday, so I figured this was intended for you.

I would like to ask one thing - shall we discontinue the animated ash and the ultra violet ray when we start with the osteopathy. In other words do I understand that there is to be no medication during the osteopathic treatments and that food will create the change in the blood stream, or shall I talk to the doctor about this when I take her in for the osteopathic treatments?

I have been very uneasy about [1204] for the last week or ten days for some unknown reason and I am certainly glad to have this reading which gives the basic causes of her trouble very clearly and perhaps now we can begin building up to eliminate all trouble.

With kind regards and best wishes,

Cordially, [189]

R2. 7/21/36 EC’s letter to Mrs. [189]:

Dear Mrs. [189]-

Have your of 18th with enclosure, thanks. Yes, it is my understanding from the information that when the Osteopath treatments are started that you discontinue the ash and Ultra Violet Ray.

Am sure it will be very well when you have had the first course of treatments from the Osteopath, that you have the condition checked up on. If possible take her to Dobbins, he has had experience in a case like this in a way tho the case he had had advanced considerable. [Case [275]]

Certainly hope she got along fine, don’t get over anxious, but give each suggestion time to react in the system.

All are fair here and are hoping for Mr. [257] to come down pretty soon his folks are all fine.

With kindest regards and best wishes

Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce

R3. 8/15/36 Mr. [257]‘s letter to EC: ”…I took [1204] to get a colonic as she was afraid and I started her at Reilly’s. She had a pathological test and the Dr. confirmed the reading and the treatment - so each day a new confirmation…”

R4. 9/21/36 EC’s letter to Mr. [257]: ”…How is Mrs. [189]‘s daughter - have been quiet anxious about her - for there surely was something to be done, now - to prevent a lot of trouble later…”

R5. 10/3/36 Mr. [257]‘s letter: “Mrs. [189]‘s daughter improved fine. I saw the doctor in Jersey who diagnosed her after the reading - he agreed 100%. You will meet him on your next visit.”

R6. 10/15/36 [189]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce:

I am horribly ashamed of myself for not having written you sooner, but I do not want you to feel that I am ungrateful.

All summer long I was horribly rushed. You know we were getting settled in our new place at the office, decorating and building and trying to start a new business at the same time. Then I had to get [1204] ready to go back to school this Fall and on low funds it meant that I had to sew most of her things myself in the few minutes that I could spare from the work at the office. [1204] has been away now for a month and I am just getting down to earth. Things at the office are still hectic, but at least when I do get home nights I do have some peace.

As you know I was very much concerned about [1204]. I followed all the recommendations in the Reading while she was home this summer, but now that she is away I don’t know what she is doing. I guess I have been so anxious about her and have pestered her so much to keep up with the Reading, that she gets cross with me every time I mention it. However, [1204] is really very much better and that is the important thing. In order to satisfy my family I had [1204] over to a good diagnostician and he went over her very carefully and found the inflammation in the vertebrae of the spine but claimed that was natural as it took four years for a person to get over the type of operation that [1204] had. He told me that it was a very wonderful operation and that as far as he could see she was getting along splendidly. He also checked with you on food and also told her to use a sun lamp which we did during the summer.

You know these young people are very difficult but pretty soon I will have a check reading and see if her condition has improved. I think I will wait until Thanksgiving when she comes home again and most likely I will be able to judge her condition myself.

I hope that you folks are all well and that you are keeping pretty busy. I hope from now on not to be so delinquent in my correspondence.

Give my kindest regards to Mrs. Cayce, Gladys and Hugh Lynn and don’t forget yourself.

Sincerely, [189]

P.S. I had been meaning to write you almost ever since I had [1204] over to the doctor to tell you the Reading checked with the doctor almost 100%. I hope you will excuse delay.

R7. 2/14/41 She obtained a Life Reading - 1204-3.
