[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Gussie W. Millaway, Stenos. Mrs. [5071].]

99 LaFayette Time of Reading Avenue, Set bet. 10:30 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern War Time. …, N.Y.

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, [5071], present in this room.

3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions which are causing disorders and thus preventing the better physical functioning of the body. These, as we find, primarily arise from a pressure which exists in the area of the 9th dorsal which has been brought by a strain which existed some time back in the lumbar axis. This, with the lesion gradually forming, hinders the circulation in the extremities and thus the activities of the blood flow and the lymph circulation causes the disturbance in the limbs and feet especially.

4. These, if allowed to go on, will gradually effect the bladder more than it does in the present, and it will cause greater aggravation through the pelvic organs.

5. These reflexly cause the uneasiness in the coordinating areas between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems so that at times if there is overactivity, the body gets the feeling of smothering, or shortness of breath and it needs air or the like.

6. These, as we find, are the sources and the causes of the disturbances with this body.

7. As we find, we would through the osteopathic manipulations remove the pressures which exist in the 9th dorsal, throughout the lumbar areas and the sacral, coordinating the upper dorsals and the cervical with same.

8. After there has been about six or eight treatments, take internally small quantities of Sweet Spirits of Nitre. This would be about ten drops in a half a glass of water. This would be taken about twice each week for four weeks.

9. Then leave off these, which will be found to cause greater activity of kidneys, but we should eliminate the poisons which are accumulations through this slowed circulation.

10. The feet, ankles and knees should also receive attention when the osteopathic adjustments are made.

11. Do this and we will save the body from a great deal of trouble later, and have a great deal better physical reactions.

12. Some ten or twelve adjustments and corrections should be sufficient.

13. It should not be necessary for a greater quantity than the four weeks of the Nitre taken.

14. The diets should be: Keep away from too much sweets though there will be times when there is craving for same. Honey may be taken in moderation if taken in the honeycomb or with honeycomb. White bread or starches such as white potatoes, macaroni, should be very, very little, if any taken. Very little or rarely take red meat of any kind, like roast or ham. Cut these entirely out of the diet.

15. Ready for questions.

16. (Q) The very bad rash the last week or so? (A) These are parts of the eliminations which are being hindered, and the outward circulation through the incoordination between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal, and these turn into the rash in the superficial circulation. These will be gradually eliminated. But it would be well, where these conditions are disturbing the body, to use the prescription known as DDD, until there has been some of those eliminations set up.

17. (Q) What may be done to help the glandular condition? (A) There’s very little disturbance in glandular conditions. These are from those pressures which have been indicated that disturb the glandular forces and not the glandular forces disturbing the other conditions.

18. (Q) Should I continue to take the ten thyroids a day? (A) These are not necessary if the osteopathic corrections are made, but we would gradually leave them off - not all at once.

19. We are through with this reading.

B5. 5/9/44 Questions orally submitted to GD in addition to those at end of 5071-1, and remarks: “(1) What causes and what may be done to overcome swelling of feet?

Retain water, don’t pass water very well, and this possibly causes the feet to swell; been to many doctors, they can’t seem to do anything.”
