Time of Reading Set bet. 10:30 to 11:30 A. M. Taken 10:55 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern War Time. …, Texas.

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; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here: [4077].

3. As we find, there are disturbances that have prevented the better physical functioning of the body. Each of these as we find (for there are two separate conditions) have been acute, one from an accident to the structural portions of the body that are being gradually corrected, as it is a condition in which there is the need that there be coordination kept.

4. It would be well if there would be kept a gentle massage occasionally with oils that will supply to the circulation through absorption and radiation that necessary to aid in keeping conditions in better relationships one to another. Use, then, an equal combination of Olive Oil (heated) and Tincture of Myrrh. This should be done about twice each week. The body may apply it for self. Use this as a massage into those areas where there needs to be a strengthening of of these structural areas, bones.

5. As to the acute condition that sometime back was caused through a radiation of conditions that upset the equilibrium between the organs of the central nerve and blood supply that supplies the organs of lungs, heart, liver, kidneys and their relationship with the sympathetic nervous system, we would control same through the power of suggestion that is reached to these through the organs of sensory system.

6. Through those areas where there are closer associations of the central nervous system and the sympathetic nervous system there needs to be stimulation to keep coordination and prevent the return, also to bring better coordination in the present through the activities of the nervous systems of the body.

7. Thus there may be reduced the disorders that reoccur now and then from the activity of the organs, especially in the liver and kidneys, radiated at times through the effect to the heart and lungs.

8. Osteopathically, then, we would have those coordinations (corrections) in lumbar, 9th dorsal and throughout the upper dorsal and cervical areas. We would take about eight to ten of such adjustments and rest a period. At first these should be taken about twice each week. Then rest a period of some three weeks, then have another series of about ten and have these about once each week.

9. Then use (not before) the short wave electrical forces that may attain a better vibration and coordination between the lungs, heart, liver and kidneys.

10. In the diet keep away from too great quantities of starches, as the tendencies for the digestive forces are to keep acidity in the body. No white bread, no cakes or cheese with macaroni. These may be taken occasionally but when they are, let this be the basic or the principal portion of the meal. Do take a great deal of raw fresh vegetables. Juices also are well as vitamins for the body. Vegetables and fruits should form the principal portions of the diet, though fish, fowl and lamb may be taken at times, preferably not fried.

11. Ready for questions.

12. (Q) Will my internal injury and dislocation be entirely well in time? (A) As has been indicated, the stimulations are needed through the massages over the structural portions from which the areas receive their impulse for activity, see.

But if we will do these, we will find better conditions.

13. We are through with this reading.

…, Texas

Ass’n For Research & Enlightenment, Inc., Virginia Beach, Va.

Gentlemen: Re: #12,317 - C-A-1 [4077-1]

I have this day received my first osteopathic treatment from Dr. John Norman Reznikov of 406 Mills Building, this city, according to your instructions contained in the above mentioned reading.

I am sincerely grateful to Mr. Cayce and his assistants for the attention given my case and shall be glad to keep you informed of my progress, as time goes on.

Yours truly, Mrs. [4077]

R2. 7/3/44 [4077]‘s letter to A.R.E.:

El Paso, Texas

Association For Research & Enlightenment, Inc., Virginia Beach, Virginia

Gentlemen: Attention Mr. Edgar Cayce

This is to inform you on the progress of my case regarding which you so accurately advised me.

Upon receipt of my reading last April 12th., I started taking the osteopathic treatment as outlined by you and am now taking the three weeks’ rest period between treatments. I shall start the next series on July 10th, and follow it by the short wave electric treatments.

As to my present condition - I am feeling 90% better in every way. My diet is also aiding a great deal toward better functioning of my liver.

I believe it only fair to add that prior to sending for my reading, I had taken several chiropractic treatments in September, 1943 and that improved my condition somewhat.

The condition of my head as regards the catarrhal condition is almost normal again although I notice that when the air-cooling is on at my place of employment, my nose seems to dry up. I try to stay away from it as much as possible. Shall keep you informed at the end of my course of treatment.

With best wishes to you and your work, I am, Gratefully yours, [4077]

R3. 7/8/44 EC’s letter to Mrs. [4077]:

R4. 8/10/44 [4077]‘s letter to EC:

…, Texas

Dear Mr. Cayce:

This is to inform you that after taking four of the osteopathic treatments of the second series, I have had to suspend them because my doctor will be out of town for four weeks at the end of which, I will resume them. He says the time element does not matter, only the number of treatments.

At the same time wish to let you know that I have not received the August bulletin, as it has already been received by another member here.

Yours truly, [4077]

Dear Mr. Cayce:

This is sent in the hope that your health is better at this time, as mine is, which is the purpose of this letter.

After following your instructions after my reading, my recovery has been complete with the exception of my head condition which will be well I feel sure, as soon as the weather changes. All this, thanks to the Good Lord and to you.

You will notice my change of address FROM … AVENUE TO THE ABOVE. I have not received a bulletin since October and am wondering if it has been suspended.

Thanking you and with best wishes for your health, I am

Gratefully, [4077]

R6. 4/14/50 Physical Reading Questionnaire:

Under the Edgar Cayce Foundation which was established in 1948, we are indexing and microfilming all of the 30,000 Edgar Cayce readings, complete with briefed correspondence preceding and report following each reading. A case number instead of the name is used for all individuals who obtained readings. The case numbers are microfilmed numerically, the subject index cards show the case numbers, so that each case - or each subject - can be studied in a complete form and in its original setting. One of our main purposes is to make available under subject headings all of the readings on specific diseases. Thus the Association’s Advisory Board of Physicians may be able to test the information and make it available to clinics or hospitals treating specific diseases.

Were you able to follow the advice given in your Physical reading? If so, just what results were obtained? Your cooperation in this matter will enable others suffering from ailments similar to yours to benefit from the experiences you have had, through our research making the results available. Please fill out and return at your earliest convenience the questionnaire below. Use reverse side, or additional sheet, if required.

B1. 1/2/44 Mrs. [4077]‘s letter to EC:

…, Texas

Dear Mr. Cayce:

Your great ability to heal the sick has reached me through various sources and am anxious to obtain your help. I would have wired you but no one wishes to make his or her troubles public.

My case: I am a defense worker and in close touch with many others every day so it is urgent and necessary that this contact be as pleasant as possible, which requires that one’s health be as good as possible. I am suffering from an old catarrhal condition of the head which manifests itself to me and to others by a fetid odor from the nose and is very uncomfortable. Will you please take pity on me, who am alone and trying to earn a living and help me?

I will recompense you immediately on receipt of advice and God will repay you as you so richly deserve. God bless you.

Hopefully, [4077]

B2. 2/24/44 [4077]‘s letter to A.R.E./EC:

…, Texas

Ass’n For Research And Enlightenment, Inc., Virginia Beach, Virginia

Gentlemen: Attention Mr. Edgar Cayce

I have received yours of the 18th, and thank you indeed for giving me the appointment you mention and since you ask if it is satisfactory, wish to ask if it is possible to have it the following Sunday, April 15th, as I would be home at the above address then. If this is inconvenient, April 12th will be all right as I shall ask for a day off from work.

The following questions are those I would like to have answered:

What caused my physical ailment? What must I do to cure it? How soon will I be well? How can I prevent its return? Will my internal injury and dislocation be entirely well in time?

Again thanking you and wishing you success always, I am,

Gratefully yours, [4077]
