One of my earliest cases from Cayce involved a man in his middle forties whose left side was paralyzed. Cayce described the cause of the condition this way:

As to the nerve system, here we find the seat or the cause of the disorders that exist ... In times back . . . when under great physical and mental strain, the body lost control of the activity of the muscular forces by a cell’s reaction in the blood stream to brain’s activity, but lodgment in the right portion in the brachial centers caused the left portion of the body to become desensitized to its normal activity. Hence the paresis, or paralysis . . . began in first the upper, then the lower portions and the whole left side has suffered under the strain. (448-1)

Cayce’s treatments prescribed the use of the radioactive appliance, manipulation, and passive exercise. The massage mixture was bizarre: one-half gallon of straight gasoline, one-half ounce of camphor gum, one ounce of oil of cedar, and one-fourth ounce of oil of mustard. But by this time I was so impressed with Cayce’s remarkable abilities that I followed all his instructions to the letter.

To one of the questions put to him at the reading, Cayce replied as follows:

Be faithful; be patient, keep in the attitude of expectancy. Do not make the applications as rote, but rather with the expectancy and the knowledge that with the applications is coming relief from the source of all supply—God.

(448-1)

Mr. B., the patient, wrote to Mr. Cayce, “Dr. H.J. Reilly showed my wife just the places to massage . . . Although I cannot see any change, I feel it has improved my condition and in the end will work as stated.” Six weeks later Mr. B. wrote again: “There have been many minor signs of improvement.”

Another paralysis case was that of a twenty-eight-year-old woman with paralysis of an arm. An operation had been advised by a number of doctors. When the woman questioned Cayce about this, he replied in a reading for her that an operation would be harmful rather than helpful.
