Time of Reading 10:40 to 11:00 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Ohio.
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.
3. As we find, there are specific conditions that are causing disturbances in the physical body. These are producing reactions that will gradually grow to be more and more troublesome, unless measures are taken to correct same.
4. The retentiveness of the mind indicates that the disturbance is from an accident, not that commonly called karma.
5. Thus, if the corrections are made properly, there should be a response in the physical, the mental and the spiritual body.
6. These are the conditions which disturb this body, as we find:
7. In times back there were those injuries to the coccyx area of the spinal cord. The position of this has allowed lesions to form in the coccyx and lumbar and sacral area. Also a wrench was indicated in the 8th and 9th dorsal area.
8. From this there came too great a supply of energy to the pancreas. In this respect, then, there came that which has become rather an aggravating condition in the activity of the pancreas.
9. Then this is not a true diabetic disturbance, but - as indicated - is from an accident which has caused the pancreas to produce the quantities of sugar in the body forces.
10. Thus the weakening of the kidneys and their activity, and the abundant supply and frequent activity of same in the body units.

11. Of course, the use of insulin - that has been taken in the body - is necessary at the present. But with the administration of the properties which we will indicate, and the other applications for correcting the cause, we find that the insulin may be gradually diminished.
12. For instance, after following these things we will suggest for a period of two or three weeks, skip a dose of the insulin; and then gradually decrease this. For, those properties we will suggest in the diet will assist the system to combat those activities of same, and thus act better with the greases that are active in the body - and gradually we will correct these conditions.
13. First we would give that there be begun the osteopathic adjustments. We would suggest one such as Smith in Youngstown to make the corrections. These will be found in the area of the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th dorsal, and in the coccyx area - more in the 2nd than in the 4th, or in the lower end of the coccyx. All of these will necessarily have to be made gradually, and relax the body preferably with Wet Heat before the adjustments are attempted. So treat the body for at least three to four times to each period of making the adjustments; relaxing the body.
14. In diabetic tendencies the diet has more to do with the reactions obtained than most any other application, but - as indicated - this is not TRUE diabetes.
15. So the osteopathic corrections AND the diet will assist the body to eliminate the habit-forming drug.
16. For, we would add in the diet the Jerusalem artichoke, which supplies insulin in its natural state in which it is CORRECTIVE forming, or in the order in which it may be properly assimilated.
17. Do take one Jerusalem artichoke almost every day, or at least five days out of every week. Cook this in its own juices, or in Patapar Paper. And when this is prepared, do eat the juice mixed with the bulk of the artichoke. This may be seasoned with a little salt or pepper, or butter - but not too much.
18. Do not take other fats than butterfat.
19. Refrain from fats, especially of any beef or hog meat of any kind. Not even breakfast bacon is very good, though this very crisp may be taken occasionally.
20. Do eat the yolk of the egg and not the white.
21. Have fish and fowl occasionally, fish preferably, most of the time as the meat.
22. Use leafy vegetables rather than those of the tuberous nature; though carrots and beets may be taken, but not with vinegar. The carrots may be eaten raw as well as cooked.

Use the beet tops with the beets.
23. Do these, and keep in that same constructive attitude toward which the entity is naturally inclined. But be a little more spiritual-minded. TRUST in the spirit, not in self, nor in knowledge alone.
24. For, He is the way and the truth and the light. All healing comes from His power, as may be manifested in the earth through individual application to those phases of experience of individuals.
25. Thus, the osteopathic corrections should be made by one who is dependent upon, aware of, the knowledge of the divine power in human experience.
26. Keep this in mind - "As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them."
27. We are through for the present. Two copies to Self (one for the osteopath you choose for carrying out that part of the treatment) Copy to Ass'n file (Dr. Arthur Smith, 521 Dollar Bank Bldg., Youngstown, Ohio, has had considerable experience with following directions in Mr. Cayce's readings, as well as many other osteopaths in various parts of the country - Dr. Smith is possibly the one closest to you. However, I notice from the American Osteopathic Assn. directory, there is an osteopath in Martin's Ferry - Dr. Wm. W. Clark, Shelby - Shreve Bldg., 414 Hanover Street. Also I found seven osteopaths listed in Wheeling, West Virginia. Please let us have the name of the one you choose. If Jerusalem artichoke is not on the market, it may be ordered for a few cents a pound from John A. Salzer Seed Co., LaCrosse, Wisconsin.)
