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, with specific analysis of each portion affected, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here - Edgar Cayce; this we have had before.
3. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let it be afraid, for, "Lo, it is I, and I have promised to be with thee, even unto the end of the world."
4. Ye have much work to do. Ye have many helpers. Be not dismayed or troubled.
5. In giving the conditions of this body physically - this we have had before. Many changes have come about, even since last we had it here. Many are for physical improvements, yet much physically needs to be done YET, that the body may - in a union of effort through the physical organisms - find those responses for better functionings of the work.
6. Then, in giving the disturbance, we would find - first, in the blood supply: this, as we have indicated, is in a toxic condition, as much or more from the conditions which exist in the colon as from other disturbances. Here there are two areas where spastic conditions exist, or a condition wherein the caecum is very much disturbed. This is from the lack of the ability, because of the stricture area, for that digested to be properly eliminated.
7. With the overactivity through salines [GD's note: For some time, for years really, he had taken Sal Hepatica almost daily to relieve pain in stricture area by forcing eliminations], then, there has been caused a weakening in the abilities of the digestion to assimilate all portions of that taken in body. Thus the conditions have become so as
294-212 Page 2
to weaken the red blood cellular forces to that which is not abnormal, yet not normal for this body. This portion, then, needs strengthening.
8. The hemoglobin count would show a lessening of the red, an increase in the white, and a lessening in the leukocyte - or the ability of the conditions to cause perfect coagulation even where used energies have weakened cellular forces in the intestines. And this is connected or associated with the strictures or adhesions in the upper portion of the left lung.
9. The urea of the blood itself is not below the normal for this body, measuring in the present a count of 13 to 15.
10. There needs be supplied, then, rest from overenergy or activity - but in the open as much as practical, where there would be the ozone, more oxygen, and such that strengthens the nature of the cellular force through the body which produces the urea, the red blood, the plasma in lymph circulation.
11. For the excess use of salines to flush or cleanse the colon has reduced in blood more of that which causes that plasm. Thus the inabilities of those centers, those patches [Peyer's Patches, see 294-212, Par. B11] through which there are the areas of the lymph circulation, are such as to cause ofttimes a state of disintegration. In these patches, then, there is a lack of sufficient globular forces to cause the coagulation in the flow of the lymph, or that portion of same which is the leukocyte, or the sticky portion in the blood is not sufficient to make perfect contact between sympathetic and cerebrospinal activities of the body.
12. Those congestions caused in the trachea, the conditions in the heart activity - the pressure is near normal at most times. When there is overexercise physically, or especially the mental forces as of worry or anxiety, to be sure it calls on the necessity of these emunctory activities - or those patches that are called by a man's name. These are then lessened in their number and thus make a quickening, or an anxiety, causing the flow of blood in the heart, as an organ, to dilate. There is no organic heart trouble.
13. These, then, are activities that are apparent in the blood supply.
14. In the nerve forces of the body - the plasma through the generation or the regenerating of nerve energy in the body is as necessary as the restoring of energy in every portion of the body. The exercising of the mental processes in the activities through which the body has gone, does go as in the present processes of a physical activity in this individual entity, has caused a deterioration. There is
294-212 Page 3
lack, then, of those elements in the energizing of those activities through the body-forces.
15. As indicated, this deterioration is not in the cerebrospinal system, else we would have mental deficiency, but is in the secondary brain, as it is ordinarily called, or the brain - as it were - of mental processes. Then, those centers along the cerebrospinal system that are called the sympathetic or vegetative nerve forces have been, and are, deficient. They need that supply, then, of those elements or vitamins which may be had from the combinations of B vitamin, or the B and C and E. These are necessary elements, or those elements needed to supply to the activities of the gland centers.
16. In making administrations to supply these glandular centers which supply to these patches, or the emunctories add these in the B Complex or the Riboflavin - the necessary elements in each portion of the B vitamin forces. These will be found most through the supplying of elements in Gold and in Nitrate of Silver - the Sodium Gold Chloride and the Nitrate of Silver. These should be added to the body, then, vibratorially, as well as through the alimentary canal - or by mouth. Not such great quantities, but by the vibratory method all the system takes; by mouth, about two drops of the Gold Solution (one grain to one ounce of distilled water) every other day, with the Bicarbonate of Soda solution to equalize same for the activity in the stomach itself. (Four drops of the Bicarbonate of Soda solution.) These will supply those elements needed to the body.
17. The solutions should be carried to the body vibratorially through the larger plate of the Wet Cell Appliance being attached to the umbilical center directly to the right and two fingers up from that point. There attach the larger plate through which the solution passes vibratorially.
18. Attach the Appliance for thirty minutes each day, using the Gold Solution, the next day using the Nitrate of Silver Solution - one ounce of a ten percent Nitrate of Silver Solution added to one ounce of distilled water and one ounce of grain alcohol.
19. When using the Gold, attach the small copper plate to the 4th lumbar. The next day when using the Silver, attach the small plate to the 4th dorsal - or the brachial center.
20. The Appliance should be charged with two pounds of the Copper Sulphate to the gallon and a half of distilled water, ten grains of the Zinc, with an ounce and a quarter of the Sulphuric Acid C.P.
21. Each day following the use of the Appliance for thirty
294-212 Page 4
minutes, the centers on the spine and on the front of body. This should not be as a corrective measure, but particularly in those centers in the frontal portion of the body at the glandular center at the area of the pubic center, just below the naval center, just above the naval center - remember, these are in pairs and are upon each side and about, on this particular body, three inches apart. Also massage those at center of the fifth rib and those at the area just below or at the collarbone. These should be massaged gently - these by pressure, yes; and those on the back side of body at the 3rd cervical on each side, at the 4th lumbar, at the 4th dorsal, at the 6th dorsal, 9th dorsal, 12th dorsal, 4th lumbar. All of these should receive attention.
22. For massaging use Peanut Oil to be absorbed, all that the body will take. This will add to the replenishing of the nerve energy that is depleted. This will recharge the gonads, better even than the taking of either the male or female hormones; though, if hormones are given - or should these be necessary - here the female would be more preferable for this type of condition.
23. In the activity of the lungs - as indicated, from the effect of a drug [GD's note: A previous rdg. had indicated that the lung obstruction had been caused by taking the Sulfa Drug last Feb. to ward off pneumonia. The M.D. Himself stated that in EC's case the Sulfa Drug had certainly been detrimental], there are adhesions in the area of the upper portion of the left lung. With this tendency for the lack of proper assimilation of foods, this causes the occasional cough. This may be better reduced, as we find, by the wet heat - or the short wave and massage to cause this to be eliminated through the eliminations. Rather than the adjustment or chiropractic method, then, there should be the osteopathic massage along the area of the sympathetic nervous system. And this should extend from the 1st cervical to the end of the spine.
24. As to the activity of the heart itself - there is not, as we have indicated, an organic heart disorder. In the nerve forces, as in the left hand, there is indicated, a neuritic condition, as well as a "catch" in the 4th dorsal center - or the brachial center. Thus, when there are resistances builded by the cleansing entirely of the colon, the replenishing of nerve energies by the addition of activities to the glandular forces, a building of greater centers through the emunctory patches, we will find that there will be a lessening of this effect to the hand.
25. It will be necessary, through the segments of the spine, to adjust throughout the brachial area; and this will aid in
294-212 Page 5
restoring or giving full activity to the nerves of the fingers of the left hand, as well as aid in removing the neuritic conditions which exist from poisons in the system in the general manner.
26. The heart's activity is in pressure near to normal in the present. It varies according to the throwing into the system of poisons, from the colon, as well as the general debilitation in nerve energy - but these may be restored to normal activity.
27. As to the condition of the stomach itself - here we find quite a variation in the activity in the duodenum and in that which has been indicated heretofore. This has been materially aided by the activities of eliminating drosses, but it will require time, patience, persistence and correction of diets through the body.
28. Beware of starches. Beware of too much of that which would cause too much activity in the digestive forces. For, naturally, from a glandular disturbance, the pancreas and spleen and gall duct do not coordinate in their activity. From the poisons and from the stricture, a strain is produced upon the gall duct area. The duct itself would be found to be dilated, but there is neither gravel nor stone in same - a hurting through those portions of the area just below where the gall duct empties into the jejunum or the digestive portions. Thus the lacteals on the side aid to cause the gasping (grasping), as it were, for breath for itself. That is why the colon needs to be cleansed, that there may be purity through same.
29. The activity of the spleen is the greater destructive force in the red cells, and thus an electric vibration through same - with the building up of the energies of the emunctory activities in glandular centers - through the character of treatments as we have indicated.
30. There is no disturbance between liver and kidneys, but excess activity of the kidneys in the conditions existent causes or keeps the impurities from the body. These will naturally adjust themselves as the corrections are made through the body.
31. Do these things, as we have indicated. Rest - rest - rest, but in the open as much as practical.
32. Ready for questions.
33. (Q) By rest, is bed rest indicated? (A) Not necessarily. When adjustments are being made osteopathically, in the massage and corrections, if there is the need for resting in bed because of sheer weakness or exhaustion, then it should be had - but not for long periods for the body. But rest from anxiety. For, know, as given -
294-212 Page 6
"Lo, I am with thee, even unto the end of the world."
34. (Q) Would it be advisable to plan to take five or six months off, away from work? (A) May plan whatever you like, but do the things necessary - whether it's two months, two weeks, two years, two days!
35. (Q) Just where would be the best place now to rest and hasten recovery? (A) Resting very well now - very good! But be in the open when there is relief from the toxic conditions in colon.
36. (Q) Would the use of the girdle be beneficial to support abdomen? (A) The use of a type of girdle - not elastic but rather as a cloth about same, tightly, yes - very well. This would be well.
37. (Q) Is there an acid deficiency in the stomach? (A) At times there is - else we would not be adding the acid of Gold that is necessary in the system. These have been given. These have NOT been taken. These properties now may be taken vibratorially AND by mouth.
38. (Q) Should Dr. Slate's instructions be followed, for giving glucose followed by S.U.P. 36? (A) This, as we find, would not be necessary - unless there is a deficiency in the urea in the blood supply.
39. (Q) Should the vaccine be used from the germs taken from the contents of the colon? (A) Vaccine may be used but if the colon is cleansed and let nature act it will be preferable. Use the long colon tube, not attempting to cleanse all of this patch here at once, but every other day fill the colon full. Do massage it gently but do cleanse it. Do use the soda and salt solutions for the first colon cleansing, followed by the Glyco-Thymoline antiseptic solution, else you will take too much strength from the vitality of the body in the processes.
40. (Q) Would you advise us staying on here in Roanoke for a while? (A) Stay on until you are well or dead one, as has been given.
41. (Q) Would there be some place better than here? (A) This depends on who is judging it! There are many places best for some people, and for some people this is the best place! This would be very well for the body for the next ten days to two weeks, if they get the cleansing of the colon accomplished and the stimulating of the gland centers. Do take the B and C vitamins. Do keep the colon cleansed.
42. We are through for the present.

A week after that he had his first stroke, or at least first bad one. When he left Va. Beach on August 30, 1944 his right hand was so affected so that he couldn't write on the typewriter any more - that's why he realized he had to stop and rest. His fingers wouldn't function properly - no strength in them.]
