This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 13th day of January, 1936, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [1014], through Active Membership of his sister-in-law, Mrs. [413], in the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. [1014].]

Time of Reading 10:55 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Va. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1014].

2. As we find, conditions are very much improved throughout the general physical forces of the body.

3. While there are still those tendencies and those inclinations for the disturbed forces in the functioning of organs, it is well that there be kept occasionally the following of the suggestions that have been indicated. Thus we will make for the continued building up of resistances in the system, and thus make for those activities where the body may keep the better balance.

4. It is well that the eliminations be looked after, or KEEP those activities so that in the activities of the body the ALKALINES (in the diet reaction) are the more prominent. Not too much in excess, but with the predominant alkaline reaction in the diet there may be kept down those tendencies for cold, for congestion, to affect weakened tissue so that it may become involved in disturbances that may AFFECT a depleted system.

5. Hence the necessity for the caring for those conditions occasionally, so that this resistance may be gradually builded up.

6. Ready for questions.

7. (Q) Should compound be continued? (A) Rather occasionally, as indicated, so as to keep those activities in the system until the body adjusts itself in such a manner that the assimilating forces tend to create that necessary for meeting the activities necessary for replenishing the body.

The variations here, as may be well to note, are:

In those activities that have been given, we find we are adding elements that are as incentives for the SYSTEM to create that within the body itself. While oft we find in the administration of medicinal properties, whether they be of the mineral or vegetable forces, if those things administered are habit-forming, or if they are those things that tend to take the place OF the activities of organs in the system, they eventually prove to be detrimental. For the body builds with that which is supplied it THROUGH the assimilating system.

Hence in the administration of factors that may be beneficial to a body, as to this body, [1014]:

The ministrations in the compound are those elements necessary to supply DEFICIENCIES, but are not of those natures that will require an excess quantity to keep the activities of the body in order for those deficiencies to be carried on in the system - but may ENABLE the body to produce these elements themselves.

Hence, as indicated, rather than this compound being taken as regularly, these properties would be taken about half as often, or about half the quantity. Thus we will find the body would conform in its function and in its activity to meet the necessary conditions.

8. (Q) How often would you suggest the massage now, if that is necessary? (A) Once a week, or twice in one week and then skip two weeks, see?

9. (Q) Any change advised in diet? (A) As indicated, keep rather to those things that are tending for alkalinity in the system. Not an excess; not that there should be NONE of the starches or hydrochlorics or the proteins taken in order for the body fuels and the body activities. But do not make combinations in the foods in such manners as that they work one with another, or against another. Not an excess of starches at the times quantities of sweets are taken. Not an excess of starch when citrus fruits are taken or these things that are of an acid nature but are alkaline in reaction; for these tend to make for combinations that work at variance. But keep that which is body-building, tending towards keeping the alkalinity.

10. (Q) What causes the burning and blood-shot appearance in eyes? What remedy? (A) The massages that are given, if they are made so as to correct those conditions in the upper dorsals and through the cervical areas, should be such as to eliminate these.

These are those tendencies, that have been first indicated in the body, where the weakness occurs that causes a great amount of the lymph flow. This is an excess of pressure in the area that tends to prevent the circulation from carrying away used forces in the system. But if the drainages are set up in the upper dorsal and through the cervical area, when the massages or manipulations are given, these would gradually disappear.

Well, for the local application, that these be bathed at times, or just before retiring, with a little saline solution; about a pinch of salt (between the fingers, you see) to an ounce of water. Dissolve the salt preferably in warm water; stir well, and then put in an eye cup. This is the better manner to make for the cleansing of same, and this - of course - with the eye open.

11. (Q) What causes and what may be done for the headaches? (A) These are rather much from the diets. These are from those tendencies for the wrong combinations in the digestive forces, and the irritations that arise from anxieties to the nervous systems after same.

When these occur, as we find, a little soda water will relieve these disturbances. Not quantities, for then it would become the very thing that would be injurious - if taken too much. But about three grains of soda in half a glass of water.

12. (Q) Should any other treatments be followed now? (A) The whole general treatment that has been indicated, occasionally, to keep the body in those tendencies for its building resistances within itself.

It is ON the road to recuperative forces and to building resistances. KEEP it in that way and manner.

13. (Q) Any further advice? (A) Do that.

14. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 7/22/40 Mr. [1014] reported that his first reading, 1014-1 certainly described his condition accurately - the loss of appetite, loss of weight, tiredness, etc. He had gotten wonderful results from following the treatments recommended; felt like a different person after 3 months.

R2. 8/5/64 Wife, [1079] reported, via sister-in-law, Mrs. [413] that [1014] recently had been not well at all - especially in the spring and early summer; he told her he thought he would go to Johns Hopkins and get a check up; he just didn’t feel like going on living. She asked him if he would follow his original reading from Mr. Cayce if she got it out and prepared the things for him. He agreed that he would, since he had some of the same symptoms - loss of weight, appetite, lack of zest, etc. She got the compound prepared and started him on it, fixed his meals exactly as recommended, etc., etc. Now, after 3-4 weeks of the treatment he feels like a different person; looks and feels much better, is gaining in weight, eats his meals with interest and has much more vitality, etc., etc.
