Time of Reading 3:55 to 4:05 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Chicago, Ill.

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. You will answer the questions which may be submitted, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body; with those anxieties, those disturbances as we find that may be relieved, if they are taken in time.

3. While there are indications that cause anxiety in the mental activities, as well as in the conditions which have arisen, we find that those inclinations may be relieved that tend to cause a thrombose nature of activity through the heart’s forces to the liver and the general deep circulation, - if there will be those corrections made of those subluxations which exist in the secondary cardiac plexus area, coordinating those from the 9th dorsal upward, and throughout the cervical area.

4. These inclinations are caused, as we find, from the pressures which exist in those areas.

5. As we find, such as Saxmann would be able to make such corrections, with a series of adjustments for the body.

6. Owing to this slowing, it would be well also that there be the cleansing of the whole of the colon area with colonics, - about two should be sufficient. These should be made at least soon after, or with, the beginning of the first of the adjustments.

7. Do these, and as we find we will make not only correction of those inclinations for the poor elimination but so equalize the circulatory forces as to make for better conditions throughout this body.

8. Do that.

9. Ready for questions.

10. (Q) Any advice regarding diet? (A) Keep away from meats, - especially any red meats. Have the rest of the diet more of vegetables, fruits, and - with meats, though no fried meats at any time - fish, fowl or lamb may be taken in moderation.

11. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 10/10/52 Comment by D. H. Fogel, M.D.:

“I would say that [1884] definitely was an “angina” case, which means merely a symptom. If it had been a thrombosis I’m sure the wife would have mentioned more definite disturbance.”

B1. 5/1/39 Wife’s letter - EC knew her before she married:

My dear Mr. Cayce -

Guess you will be surprised to hear from me.

I came to Chicago Xmas and my husband has been here a year. He is taking a course at the University but his health has failed and am afraid he will have to leave.

He is anxious to know if you would give him a reading. He has always had a horror of heart trouble and I am afraid that is part of his trouble.

How is Mrs. Cayce and the boys?

Hoping to hear from you real soon,

Your friend, […]

Chicago, Ill.

B2. 5/8/39 Wife’s letter to EC:

My dear Mr. Cayce -

Am enclosing the blank which my husband filled out. I certainly hope you can help him.

He suffers so much at night and sleeps very little. Am almost afraid to hear from the reading. Wish I could listen in…
