1. GC: You will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding this body.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. Ready for questions.

3. (Q) What caused the drawing of enlarged gland in left breast, and is breast normal now? (A) This caused by the incoordination of the nerves in the system, caused by the reaction from incoordination in the blood stream, produced by the disturbance in the elimination and assimilation in the system, and by that condition - with this combination of conditions that arise from those conditions where the glands about the breast have become drawn and enlarged, by the accumulations of unused forces not eliminated from the system.

The massaging of this with Iodex, or Cocoa Butter - or alternated with these - will assist in alleviating the condition, and will also assist that of the pain that arises from that gland and the ducts through which new blood comes into the body - over and around the shoulder blade, see? This massaging with this Iodex or Cocoa Butter - or alternated each evening with the different one - will alleviate the pain and conditions.

We would also apply those vibrations from the Ultra Violet Ray to the cerebrospinal system, especially that from the upper dorsal to the lower portion of the spine, through the lumbar and sacral, see? for these rays - Ultra Violet Rays - will produce that in the blood stream which is as the strainer, or eliminator - and with this stimulation from the pad (which should be worn continually, and we would use a large or heavy one - in the Radium Appliance, see?) to eliminate from the system those of the dregs, as it were, of used tissue. By used tissue we mean as this:

In each functioning organism, each portion of the system uses so much vitality. This used vitality is as used tissue, just as the corpuscles themselves in the blood stream become used. Hence we have portions in the system wherein the dead corpuscles, or used corpuscles, or OVER used corpuscles, are removed from the system; such as the portion as seen, especially, in the spleen; such as seen at times in the condition in the liver. These used tissue, or these used corpuscles, when any inflammation sets up - such as has been shown through the mammary gland in this body - these set up a condition by an accumulation of such tissue in any bruised place, by being carried through portions of the system, see? When these become surrogated in the system, then these form into a condition to either be eliminated or so walled about by the white blood tissue as to prevent there being a hindrance to the body. Hence we have either that of a form of tumor in some nature - either hard or soft (internally they are usually soft - externally, or in the capillary circulation, they usually become hard tissue). These, by pressure on the various portions of the system that exercise under, around, or about, or through these, become strained tissue, or strained muscular conditions. Hence now, the action of the rays from the Ultra Violet - which passes through - is to clarify these conditions in such a way and manner as these tissue will be removed from the system - the eliminations having been hindered in this body by those conditions that brought about the changes as occur in the system through congestion, from those periods as have been outlined for the body, in that as has been given.

4. (Q) What causes pains in the lower right portion of back? Not during day, but after lying in bed for some hours? (A) The same accumulations as are seen in various portions of the system are seen again about the capsule of the kidneys, and with this formation there is seen that the pressure as is exercised on the bladder, by the kidneys attempting to throw off (through more activity) those poisons - this being one of the eliminating portions of the system - this accumulation gives trouble; for, as we see, as has been given, when the bladder is empty this pain is removed in part - though the effect of same is felt across the lower portion and throughout the locomotary activities. NOT accumulations that may not be eliminated, by the application of these conditions - by the massaging along these centers, see? with the properties as have been outlined - Iodex or Cocoa Butter - or better still, alternated.

5. (Q) Are the baths that are being taken of any benefit? (A) Benefit, in that they exercise through the capillary circulation - another means for the exercising of eliminations. BETTER, as given, that the application of these rays be given, and the pad worn, that the eliminations may be set in a NORMAL manner, rather than exercising one portion of eliminations in the system to such an extent that these become over-active in a way and manner and bring detrimental conditions in the form of rash and other conditions to the capillary circulation. Bring about COORDINATION in eliminations - not overtaxing any one portion of the system; for, as is seen, the eliminations are set through the liver and through the ordinary channels of the alimentary canal - as also through the pulmonaries and through the capillary circulation - kidneys, liver, then, the hepatic circulation, the breath or the lungs proper, and the perspiration, or the glands in the capillaries. Now, to overtax one at the expense of the other is to CHANGE the condition and NOT remove the cause.

These are the general conditions as we find in this system, and we would carry out these as have been outlined.

6. (Q) What causes shifting pains over left breast, around shoulder, and down side? What is the best way to help this condition? (A) That as has been outlined for same.

7. We are through with this reading.

Mr. Hugh Lynn Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc. Box 595 Virginia Beach, Virginia

Dear Hugh Lynn:

My wife and I will never cease to be amazed at the mental, physical and spiritual “gold” that is contained in the Edgar Cayce readings. We have had an opportunity once again to prove the effectiveness of a simple remedy applied to what is normally considered to be a fairly grave physical ailment - a breast tumor.

What follows are almost verbatim notes which I made on May 26, 1968, concerning my wife’s condition, assumed to be a tumor in the left breast:

For approximately one year prior to March 1968, a growth developed from about the size of a pea until it grew from hard to soft (and yet firm) and enveloped about one-fourth of the breast.

At this time I became alarmed and insisted that Helen go to a doctor. I then contacted Dr. Francis Woidich and asked him to refer us to a physician who was not “surgery happy.” (Remembering that my sister had a breast removed for a similar condition, I was apprehensive that the same thing might be necessary with Helen.) He referred Helen to a specialist in Washington, D.C. (whose name I withhold from these notes), Helen’s first appointment with the specialist was about March 26, 1968; he examined her and then inserted a needle to determine if the growth was fluid. It was fluid and he drained it all; and the breast appeared to be completely normal.

The specialist then advised Helen to return in six weeks to be re-examined; he was very concerned, of course, that it might re-develop. Within six weeks it had re-developed as a hard lump about the size of a quarter. He tried again to get fluid, but there was only the hard lump. He recommended surgery “as soon as possible”; that “no time be wasted.”

Having studied the works of Edgar Cayce for 12 years, I was convinced that surgery was not necessary; and so was Helen. We decided to send for the circulating file on Breast Tumors (that is, the original psychic readings of Edgar Cayce on this subject). Additionally I called the A.R.E. and through a Miss Babcock obtained the name of an osteopath who was knowledgeable about the Cayce readings.

After obtaining the file we immediately began to use the remedy prescribed for a patient with a similar condition. Alternating the use of Cocoa Butter one day and Iodex the next, we did exactly as recommended: gentle massages of the breast itself, under the left arm, about the shoulder blade and over the shoulder (those areas where presumably the circulation flows into the breast). This treatment was begun May 18, 1968.

By May 25th definite results were noticeable. By May 27th the results were even better. It is to be noted that from about the second day of massage that the lump began to develop into the larger, more fluid mass it had been when the specialist drained it. By May 27th no hard lump remained and, as a matter of fact, where the contour was affected by the increased mass, there was now NO mass; but there was a soreness deep down, which conceivably could have been - even three weeks later - the effect of the attempt to puncture the hard lump with a needle.

On May 25th Helen was examined by Chester Bailey, D.O., Kensington, Maryland - to whom Miss Babcock of the A.R.E. referred us. If my recall is correct, he found a lesion about the area of the “4th thoracic Cervical.” He examined the breast, and said it was all right to continue the massages with Cocoa butter and Iodex; but to return to him on May 29; by that time he would have time to review the Cayce circulating file on breast tumors and, with his own findings, come up with an appropriate regimen. He thereafter gave Helen about 6 more treatments. Of possible significance also is the fact that during this same period Helen had low back problems - intermittently occurring since at least 1962. In 1963 and then again in about 1964 severe muscle spasms developed. These were first relieved in 1963 by a physiotherapist in New York City, an expert in deep muscle massage. In 1964 the condition was relieved by an osteopath.

During the period of the massages Helen cut out all meats in her diet (which was suggested in most of the Cayce readings on breast tumors). Also, she was careful not to eat anything grown below the ground of a tuberous nature; and stopped eating pecans (both of these were musts in the readings). She ate larger quantities of fruit and vegetables; and continued to eat almonds, which she had been doing for several years.

For two or three more times the growth attempted to return in its full conspicuousness. But each time it was put down by the massages.

Now, a full 18 months later - there has been no recurrence for at least a year of that time - I believe we can say for the record that Helen’s breast is quite normal.

This is the eve of our 16th wedding anniversary; and we thank God at this time that once again via the Edgar Cayce readings we have been spared a rather painful and costly ordeal through the application of seemingly simple remedies; but in these “simple remedies” I surmise there is enough undiscovered scientific knowledge which would fill several volumes.

Dr. C. L. Bailey can be contacted at: 3918 Prospect Street, Kensington, Maryland, in the event some physician would want to know the full report on what his findings were and what treatments were administered.

I am forwarding a copy of this to Dr. Woidich in case he wishes to forward the information to the specialist whom he recommended.

Very truly yours, [signed] Earl E. Thomas

B3. 1/22/27 She submitted questions via her husband, Mr. [4219]:

“What caused draining of enlarged gland in left breast, and is breast normal now? What causes shifting pains over left breast around shoulder and down side and best way to help condition? What causes pain in lower right portion of back, not during day but after lying in bed for some hours? Is it trouble in kidney or bladder, as emptying bladder relieves condition? Are the baths which are being taken of any benefit? What is general condition of body?”
