1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Some conditions show improvement. Others show the non-activity of those things as has been given FOR the quieting of the nerves and of the whole system.

2. The manipulations, while given WELL, should be more of that of a sedentary nature; that is, NOT too STIMULATING - for in their second or third day reaction these bring irritations and disorders, and dizziness when the body attempts to rise; but the body should be kept up as much as possible, and NEEDS SUNLIGHT and air! Do that. Ready for questions.

3. (Q) Are proper adjustments being made? (A) Not much adjustments as yet are being made. These have been STIMULATIVE, as given, when they should be more sedentary or sedative reacting in their nature - and with the vibrations as we would have, or should have, soon we might be able to change the body from, or to those surroundings where these may be carried out in toto, and not spasmodically, or in part.

4. (Q) How much of the neck tension is caused from her impacted and imbedded wisdom teeth? (A) A great deal. These conditions, while they will be rather distressing to the mental forces of the body - but they MUST have the proper attention, and be removed - for this constant pressure brings distresses, and they should be removed.

5. (Q) Which wisdom teeth should be removed? And when? (A) Both upper - as soon as this can be brought about.

6. (Q) Will the body while at Virginia Beach get better results in the home or should she live at the hospital? (A) At the hospital in the beginning, then be better in the home. For at least ten days or two weeks in the hospital, until the conditions are begun in a NORMAL way. Then at the home.

7. (Q) Is the body taking the proper food? (A) These are very good at present.

8. (Q) How soon will body be able to come to the hospital? (A) Should be in two weeks.

9. (Q) Any further advice for this body? (A) Do this at the present. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 3/12/30 Mr. [257]‘s letter: ”…Mrs. [2708] had her niece [2372] operated on and teeth removed against the wailings of the entire family…”

R2. GD’s note: We heard nothing further about [2372]. Later her aunt, Mrs. [2708], again visited Virginia Beach and had readings for other members of her family. In June, 1931 she wrote EC about her sister, [2372]‘s mother, having a very severe accident.

R3. 9/21/76 Letter from [2372]‘s cousin, [1719], indicating that [2372] has been dead for some time.

R4. 10/31/76 Cousin [1719]‘s letter:

”…Readings 2372-1 and 2 deal with my cousin and some background is helpful in understanding the situation. Before the time of the reading my cousin had eloped with a young poor medical student able to support a wife only with difficulty. This marriage was vigorously opposed by the family. My cousin was caught in a situation of great stress which, as I recall, produced a nervous breakdown. It was after the breakdown that Edgar Cayce made the reading. Eventually it was recognized that the opposition was extremely counterproductive. When it was relaxed and replaced by a generally benevolent attitude, the situation improved to normal.

“I am not able to comment on the treatments recommended by Edgar Cayce. I personally believe that the relaxation of stress, mentioned above, was the key factor in the recovery.

“However, it is interesting to note that Edgar Cayce placed a good deal of emphasis on glandular problems. [See 2372-1.] The last time I saw my cousin was about eighteen months before her death. At that time it was apparent from facial changes that she was suffering from some type of glandular problem. She died of a heart attack approximately 1960.

“While some of the effects of a nervous breakdown are quite similar to insanity, I personally feel that the term insanity [2372-1 was formerly indexed under insanity] is incorrect. Her husband became a highly competent doctor and I am quite sure he was never concerned about his wife’s being insane…”
