This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 20th day of January, 1936, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [1054], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Estella Smith and Jack Tobin, Jr.]

Time of Reading 3:30 to 3:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, N.Y. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1054].

2. As we find, there is in some respects a betterment of those disturbances in the physical functionings of this body, [1054]. In other respects there is little change, or - in fact - there is a little more disturbance at times, in other directions.

3. Then, in meeting those needs of the disturbances that have been brought about, by those things that have been of long standing - that deal with the functionings of the organs especially as related to the lower portion of the hepatic circulation, we would change the applications somewhat.

4. The diet that was indicated, or outlined, through the very changes that were wrought, has shown that there is the inability of the assimilations through portions of the system for the CLEANSING of the colon and the alimentary canal. Thus, in portions of the system there are those effects of the fecal forces, showing the adherence to - and a disturbance in - the colon area itself, through the inflammation and through those conditions that arise from this disturbed lower hepatic circulation; or those activities of the functionings of the organs - or of the kidneys themselves as related to their STRAINING or functioning with the blood supply to remove the forces or acids that should be in a normal circulation.

5. We would, then, make corrections osteopathically that may relieve those tensions for the whole of the hepatic circulation. Not too severely, but sufficiently for the drainages to be set up.

6. Still we would use the rubs across the lower dorsal and those portions about the 8th and 9th dorsal to the sacral and lumbar area, with the combination as indicated of Mutton Suet and other ingredients.

7. Occasionally we would use the Castor Oil Packs over the liver area and ACROSS the colon itself. We would use these about once a week for a period of forty minutes, changing the cloths or heavy flannel that would be used; and we find these would make for an improvement in the MANNER in which eliminations may be set up, in the manner in which there may be the responses from the adjustments that would be given about twice a week osteopathically.

8. In the diet we would follow those things or combinations that are used in the present, rather than resorting to the more specific diet that would bring about other changes. For better assimilation, better coordination must be set up.

9. When the osteopathic manipulations are given, these should be to the whole length of the sciatic centers also; that those strains that are upon the whole of the nerve system, through the pressures upon the lumbar axis, may be relieved.

10. Do that.

11. Ready for questions.

12. (Q) Why did the prescribed diet cause formation of gravel? (A) This is an indication of that disturbance which has been given, and shows the necessity for the changes to be wrought as we have indicated. The effects of fecal forces more than other conditions through the system.

Do as has been outlined.

13. (Q) Is a special diet now indicated? (A) Just as we have indicated, keep to that the body is at present following.

14. (Q) What is cause of pain in right hip and leg, also shoulder muscles? (A) As indicated, from the pressures or the unbalancing upon the axis of the pelvis itself; produced by engorgements, inflammations through those disturbances in the lower hepatic circulation, making for a straining upon the muscular forces and the tendons and ganglia in the axis area.

15. (Q) When and how did the injury occur, as referred to, which caused the kidney condition? (A) This as we find referred to was produced some PERIODS back, in an accident of some nature; striking of the body against something or some condition.

16. (Q) Has my condition improved; if so, how? (A) In the manner as indicated has it improved, and in the manner indicated has it remained about the same; and in the other manners detrimental effects have been brought about, by NOT making for better eliminations. Do as we have indicated, if we would bring the better conditions for this body, [1054].

17. We are through with this reading.

Gentlemen:

I am sorry to be returning the enclosed files somewhat “overdue”. However, I have been making careful notes from the file on Kidney Stones, which has special relevance for me.

In January I was in hospital for a week with a painful kidney stone problem. After the pain subsided initially, little was done other than tests, extra liquids, etc. A bit later, but before becoming a member of A.R.E., I was reading the Jess Stearn biography and came across the mention of castor oil packs for this kidney stone problem. I began this in the third week of March. The discomfort stopped almost immediately, and by the 25th of March the stone passed naturally and without any pain at all. Since the stone had previously refused to pass despite conventional medication, extra fluids, etc. an operation was next on the agenda; but happily prevented by castor oil packs!

It is good to see the much greater detail of the readings themselves, and I have made notes should this occur again. With the small knowledge which I had available at the time, the results seem all the more amazing.

Yours sincerely, [signed] Louis Wm. Steinwedel
