Time of Reading 10:45 A. M. Eastern War Time. …, Tenn.

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2514]; this we have had before.

3. While there is still much to be desired in improvements, we find that there are decided improvements in many ways.

4. Though there are periods when it appears that the disturbance is catching hold again, by the breaking of tissue, much has been accomplished.

5. We would continue the use of the Appliance, but we would keep this charged regularly; and keep connections in order. Some of these need attention. Clean the poles as well as the anodes, and the anodes especially, before and after using same. Clean the poles thoroughly with the sandpaper or emery paper when recharges are made.

6. The oil packs we would keep occasionally, especially if there is the indication of incrustations. Use the ointment on the areas indicated. The heavy covering with this, over broken tissue, will be better.

7. Continue the oil rubs in the manner suggested.

8. These, and the appetites keep in the lines indicated.

9. The change that we find would be the most beneficial now would be the use at least once a week, in the beginning, of the Ultra-Violet Light. This should be the Mercury Quartz Light, and at least thirty-eight inches from the body, but inject a green light (green plate glass) between the Ultra Violet and the body - about fourteen inches from the body. This should be given principally over the back of the limbs and the knees, and the lower part of the torso - that is, across the hips, about the central portion. In the beginning give this about a minute and a half, but have the light working, to be sure, at the time the body is put under same.

10. These as we find should prevent further incrustations, and aid the circulation in eliminating the disturbing or infectious forces themselves.

11. Keep the eliminations well.

12. Do that.

13. The stand lamp may be used, or what is called the bed lamp. But use the Mercury, not the Carbon Light.

14. Ready for questions.

15. (Q) Why can’t I go to sleep, and when finally asleep why can’t I stay asleep? (A) This is the anxiety in the sympathetic nervous system. As indicated, use a mild sedative. But do not use same without the soda. And, as we find, the use of the electrical forces should materially aid in this disturbance.

16. (Q) What causes these drawn muscles or whatever they are across the top of my legs? On the days they are tight, it is all I can do to walk. (A) All of these things are taken into consideration, as to what is to be done for same. The drawing is the infection in the superficial circulation, drawing the lower portion of the epidermis - or the lower skin. And this is why the use of the light would be beneficial in the present, to allay. Do not use it without the green light, see?

17. (Q) Do my wisdom teeth cause any of my trouble? (A) To be sure, they are contributory to the general nervous upset. If it is practical for the body to have these attended to, it would be well.

Do those things we have indicated here, and we should find continued improvement.

Keep the Ichthyol liniment or ointment, even when there is the use of the light. This will not disturb, but drive in. It may produce itching, a little irritation after same, but the oil - especially the peanut oil - will aid in allaying, if this becomes aggravating to the body.

18. We are through with this Reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 12/31/42 Letter from [2514] to EC: “Once again we have reached the beginning of a new year. I hope and pray, as everyone does, that this year will bring Peace, Health, and Happiness to the world. For myself I hope to be well by next year.

“I expected a letter from you after my last rdg. giving me a little more information about my treatment. Since I haven’t received it, I’m writing to you.

“I have my lamp and my glass at last. Both had to be ordered, so I’ve been delayed. […] ordered my glass a yard square. Will that be large enough? They tell me that the light will shine over my entire body. Is that right? Everyone wants to know what the green glass is for? So do I? Dr. Bryce said he couldn’t imagine.

“We ordered my lamp from the G.E. people.

“I want to tell you what the directions say so you can tell me if I have the right lamp. It is called the S-4 Type G.E. Sunlamp. The directions say this: ‘The S-4 bulb consists of a small quartz mercury arc mounted in a clear bulb of special ultra-violet transmitting glass which permits the passage of such. Ultra-violet radiations as to bring it within the sunlamp class.’ It is a floor lamp model, and am I proud of it. It is beautiful and I’m expecting wonderful results from it. Do you think I should use it on the front of my legs? They are peeling off so bad. Or should I just use it on my back? Should any kind of oil be rubbed on before using the lamp? Should it be used on the same day every week?

“In my reading you said take packs occasionally. About how often should that be? We had an awful time for a month or so. We have had quite a bit of sickness in the family. In fact our Christmas wasn’t a very happy one for everyone was practically in bed. Mother was sick for over a week with strep throat. […] had to work so hard before Christmas (at the Post Office) that he broke down on Thursday before Christmas. He is back at work but is still worn out. My when I go to tell about our troubles it takes much too long so will stop right here. I haven’t been able to get my packs like I should but hope we’ll all soon be well so I can get back where we were.

“I ordered more Calcios and Acigest before Christmas, but guess it got lost in the Christmas rush for I didn’t get it until yesterday.

“This week my knees have ached quite a bit but think it is this changing weather.

“Should I keep on bathing my knees each morning and night, and using the Unguentine? You failed to say whether to or not.

“In using the light do I use the minute and a half until my next reading or increase it before hand? Can you give me any idea as to the length of time before we see any results.

“My but this letter is full of questions. I’ve had some more encouragement. For the past two months I’ve had a small monthly period. Wouldn’t you say that is a sign of improvement? I’m so encouraged and can hardly wait to see how the lamp works. Please answer as soon as possible so I can get a treatment next week.

“Wishing you a very Happy New Year, I remain your friend” [2514]

“P.S. I am very proud of my copy of ‘There Is A River.’ I haven’t read all of it yet but am enjoying it so much.”

R2. 1/4/43 EC’s letter to Mrs. [2514]: “Thanks for yours of the 31st - had a very vivid dream about you a few evenings ago, so feel you are surely going to be real well before this year is past. The dream - was visiting home, and drove over to … so thought would look you up, came to your house …, you met me and couldn’t believe me when told you who I was until you called your Mother - but you looked so well and happy, and was almost entirely free of any pain or hurt.

“Now your letter - Am sure you have the right kind of lamp, the Mercury light which is the kind of ultra-violet light needed. The glass need not have been so large, but have it mounted in a frame so will be easy to handle. It is to be put between the Mercury light and your body, say some 12 to 14 inches from your body - the mercury light at least 38 inches from your body. The Green light breaks up the ultra-violet and makes it a healing light, and it works, as have had many experiences with such.

“Yes - put light on upper and lower part of your body - this should help the condition on your legs, do not put oil on them or the body before using the light but do use it after using the light, do not stay under the light too long at a time - am sure it gave you just how long to use it each time.

“Packs - occasionally - once a week or oftener if you feel it necessary.

“Christmas must have been bad time for each of us - my wife and I both have had very bad colds, only today have I begun work again, been out for week or more with only one or two

• where very serious.

“Do hope Mr. […] takes care of himself, the work at P.O.

has been unusually heavy every where am sure this year - hope he is feeling better.

“All mail has been slow - glad you have your Calcios, tho, and use just as has been suggested.

“Give knees a good rubbing when they ache, but believe the light will help this real soon.

“Oh, yes, keep up the use of the Unguentine, that will keep them soft, don’t have this on when the light is used, however

• put on after.

“No, only use a minute and a half on upper part of body and one and half on lower part of body. Do not increase time until the information says so, is easy to get too much of this light - and you can easily get a sun burn, which wouldn’t be good for you just yet.

“Oh, yes, the period indicates a more normal reaction all through the body, am sure you should be helped, by the indication.

“Hope have answered all your questions, but should there be anything you are in doubt about don’t hesitate to write.

“Glad you like - ‘There is a River’ - do tell me what you think of it when you get through. Think you will find your self in same.

“With every good wish.

“Better send me a snap shot of your self if Mr. […] doesn’t object, wish to see if you look like what I saw in the dream. (I liked the dream.)”

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce

Questions for Ck. Physical:

1. Should I lose some weight?
2. Is there anything else I should do for my knees?
3. What are these red places that have come on top of my feet?
4. Why don’t I feel like doing anything? (The least exertion just wears me completely out.) 4-1/2. Would it be advisable to take some vitamin pills?

R3. 2/3/43 “I’m writing you for another ck. rdg. It has been 6 wks. since you made my last one, but haven’t used my light that long because I was delayed some before getting my lamp.

“I can’t see any great change during the past 6 wks. but maybe I’m not supposed to. I’ve had quite a bit of trouble with my knees hurting. Each day I hope and pray will be my last one to suffer - surely my prayers will be answered soon. I have had about five open places to come on the back of my right knee, so naturally they aren’t very comfortable. One thing I can certainly be thankful for, is the fact that they heal faster than they did. I’ve had this huge sore on my hip for over seven months, but now it is almost well. Honestly, I have Almost as much scar tissue as I do good tissue.

“Mother was teasing me this afternoon about being so fat. They all are daring me to weigh but I’m scared to. Do you think I should diet? I love to eat and do plenty of it. I’m sure I’ll lose the extra flesh when I can get about and get some exercise…

“I’m still having an awful time sleeping. Last night it was almost 6 a.m. before I finally got to sleep.

“I guess you’ll be glad when you receive a letter from me and I won’t be telling you all bad news…

“I certainly do hope you’ll have some good news for me this rdg. My 2 yrs. will be up before long and I want to progress a lot before then. I’m expecting a little new niece or nephew in April. My, how wonderful it would be if I could get to feeling good enough to go over to the hospital to see it.”
