-
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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
-
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3244].
-
As we find, the causes or sources of these conditions are of a very subtle nature. The effects that have been produced in the extremities are hard to cope with. Yet if there will be persistency and consistency in the use of suggestions as may be made, there may be help for this body. But it will require patience and a great deal of persistence on the part of those that may apply such treatments suggested.
-
If this is not to be carried all the way through, don’t begin. For, there will be periods when there will be a great deal of distress, even in certain periods of the treatments. Yet these will bring relief, with the application consistently given.
-
As we find the chemical changes, the lack of the glandular systems being able to reproduce themselves has caused the nerves and tendons to become distraught and drawn. The activities of all of these have brought about distortions as to their position or the use of the limbs, the hands, the body.
-
There has been produced a great deal of lack in body assimilations. For the system in attempting to adjust itself to the growing destructive forces has drawn on the vital forces of the body. Thus it will require time and patience and persistence in the use of such applications as may first meet the conditions, gradually cleanse the system and then begin to renew the energies in the body.
-
Begin first then by taking Atomidine internally; one drop in half a glass of water each morning before the meal is taken, for at least three weeks.
-
Then begin (not before) taking Acigest twice each week; a teaspoonful in a glass of raw milk (only raw milk), preferably at the evening meal. Take this, say on Tuesdays and Fridays.
-
At the same time begin taking Calcios three times each week at the noon meal; Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays: Just the quantity that will spread thinly on a whole wheat cracker - this to be eaten with the noon meal.
-
These we would take for at least three weeks.
-
When beginning the Acigest and Calcios, begin also to use each evening a massage with this combination of oils:
Usoline or Nujol as the base…4 ounces, Oil of Pine Needles…1 ounce, Olive Oil…1 ounce, Peanut Oil…1 ounce, Lanolin (liquefied)…1 teaspoonful.
-
Shake this together each time and in the evening, when preparing the body for rest, take at least thirty minutes to an hour to gently rub this into the small of the back and over the limbs; especially the small of the back, from the 9th dorsal downward, including the lower limbs.
-
After having done this for three weeks, with taking the Calcios and Acigest, leave off all for three to four days.
-
Then begin with the Atomidine, this time taking five drops each morning before breakfast in a half a glass of water for five days.
-
After the five days have an Epsom Salts Bath, using about - ten pounds to about forty or fifty gallons of water. Keep this warm, as warm as the body can well stand, and massage the whole body during the time it is in this Bath; from the neck down the spine, the arms, the hands, across the abdominal area and down the lower limbs. Let the body stay in the Bath for at least twenty to thirty minutes; keeping, of course, plenty of cold water for the body to drink during the period that this Bath is being taken.
-
Then rest from all applications for two days.
-
Then begin all over again; with the Atomidine, this time taking five drops each morning five days, and then begin with the Calcios and Acigest and Oil massage for three weeks; the rest period, the second five day period of Atomidine followed by the Epsom Salts Bath.
-
After each Epsom Salts Bath massage the body thoroughly with the Oils, all over the body thoroughly, all the body will absorb.
-
After the second Epsom Salts Bath, rest a week from all applications.
-
Then begin all over again, and so on.
-
After the third series, then just keep the Oil rubs for a period of one month.
-
Then begin from the beginning; first the small doses of Atomidine for three weeks, then the rest period; then the three weeks of Calcios and Acigest and rubs, the rest period; the five day period of Atomidine followed again with the Epsom Salts Bath.
-
After THAT we would give further instructions.
-
Through these periods take only foods that are very easily assimilated, especially at first. During the last series, especially, have plenty of raw vegetables finely grated; such as carrots, beets, radishes, onions, lettuce, celery and the like. Not all of these at once, of course, but let one meal each day consist principally of these. Also take water cress juice and the V-8 juices. These should be a part of the diet.
-
With the V-8 juices make a cocktail at least once each day using Fleischman’s yeast. This will supply vitamins necessary for body-building. This should come only in the latter part of the treatments, you see.
-
These will have cleansed the system and we should have better feelings. The Epsom Salts Bath, in the first series, may be very severe. Be patient, be persistent, if we would have results.
-
Ready for questions.
-
We are through with this reading.

Reports
Reports & Follow-up
R1. 7/2/82 GD’s note: In Sept. 1943 the CORONET magazine came out with the article MIRACLE MAN OF VIRGINIA BEACH which deluged Mr. Cayce with thousands of requests for help which, added to the requests from the book THERE IS A RIVER coming out in Nov. 1942, made it impossible to keep up a personal contact with all the individuals involved. Edgar Cayce became ill early in 1944 but tried to give emergency readings as long as he was physically able - which was through August 1944. He died January 3, 1945.
If Mrs. [3244] wrote us again we have no record of it; perhaps it was lost in the deluge of mail considered first inquiry which we could not handle and told people so - not keeping a copy. Or she received mail as a member and knew there was no chance of getting further advice.
Years later, when we got around to writing to Mrs. [3244] for a report, the address was no good.

B1. 5/23/43 Mrs. [3244]‘s ltr. to E.C.: “For the past six and one-half years I have been a victim of what the doctors term rheumatoid arthritis. I have had all kinds of tests and a great many treatments, injections, massage and adjustments. Have improved to some extent but do not seem to be able to find just what the source of infection is. My knees are quite drawn up and feet and ankles bother me also. I am unable to raise my right arm to my head.”
B2. 7/4/43 Verifying appointment: “At the present time my feet, knees and right arm are quite badly affected. Also I have been under a severe mental strain for the past year.”
