This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 31st day of May, 1938, in accordance with request made by the self, Mr. [1196], Active Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Lucy Clifton and Irene Riggs.]

Time of Reading 3:50 to 4:05 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Alabama. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1196]; this we have had before.

2. As we find, there are changes since last we had same here; some for improvement, some not so well.

3. In the main, we find that the general conditions have reverted much to that same condition which existed with the body when first we gave suggestions for same.

4. The principal reason for not having greater improvement is lack of consistently carrying out all suggestions as were outlined for the body, as we find.

5. When there is the continual changing, when there is not given the opportunity for the reactions to come about, then we find these revert to the old disturbances.

6. For these have been of long duration, and there has been an undermining of the activities of the hepatic circulation; the liver, the lower hepatic circulation; a prostate disturbance - old conditions.

7. And these working upon the body, with the inflammation that each of these disturbances has caused, there has been produced in the blood stream not so much the infectious forces as the toxic conditions.

8. Then we find that the toxic condition is of a nature that it not only affects the circulatory system, as a disturbance to the hormones that is of an active nature to eliminate from the system, but it is of a uremic or uric nature also.

9. Thus, because of the lack of elimination, there is produced in the muscular forces the congestion and an inflammatory condition of the nature as to cause rheumatic reactions.

10. Hence we have an arthritic or neuritic condition, as well as a rheumatic one; to say nothing of the congestions that prevent eliminations.

11. Then, as we find, if there is to be expected the results from suggestions made through these sources, there MUST be a consistent use of those influences or applications suggested!

12. To be sure, as we understand and as the body comprehends, this requires that there be the use of medications or properties taken, which to some constituents becomes in opposition to the higher mental and spiritual influences.

13. But it should be comprehended by the body that all force, all GOOD that arises in activity for a system that IS good, arises from the Creative or Spiritual Source - and works with same, only needing the attunement for its activity.

14. Then: Either ACCEPT these suggestions and use them AS they are given, or REJECT the whole ENTIRELY!

15. For where there is confusion kept by switching from this to that influence, there CANNOT be expected the results from ANY!

16. Then, as we have indicated, KNOW in WHOM as well as in WHAT ye believe. KNOW that the influence of Good, or God, is able - then - to bring about those influences that will fit the body - physically, mentally, spiritually - to fulfill that purpose - that is, in body, mind and soul - for a better, a greater, a broader service in the spiritual direction.

17. And as we find in the existent conditions, as we have given from the beginning, it IS necessary to use external forces of a medicated nature, if there is to be awakened or aroused to activity that necessary to bring the better conditions in the physical body - through overcoming those errors that cause or form the basis of the disturbing forces.

18. As we find, then, these we would DO!

19. Use the Zilatone as an eliminant. SOME of these tablets should be taken EVERY day, for ten or fifteen WEEKS! Whether it takes one, two, four or six of the pellets, be sure that - with the enemas to aid - there is sufficient activity to have at least two activities from the alimentary canal each day.

20. This will NOT reduce the vitality if the constructive attitude is kept mentally and physically.

21. Do not just take these for a little while and stop, but take then CONSISTENTLY - what is necessary to take to make an activity at least twice a day - for ten to fifteen WEEKS!

22. And have sufficient manipulations - either osteopathically or neuropathically given - to PREVENT the AROUSED poisons from CONGESTING in any area!

23. Hence the type of manipulation would be to stimulate those centers for the activity of the liver, the duodenum, the jejunum, the caecum and colon.

24. Do not begin and have these a few days and then quit, but take them regularly for a series.

25. Have them each day for about three weeks, leave off three weeks, and then take again each day for another series. If they are given OSTEOPATHICALLY, or as osteopathic manipulations, twice a week GENTLY given would be sufficient.

26. Use enemas WHEN necessary, body-temperature.

27. Use the Radio-Active Appliance EACH DAY for at least thirty minutes to an hour. This would also be used in series, and the attachments would be made in this manner:

28. First day: Make the first attachment to the right wrist, while the last attachment would be to the left ankle. (Tie a string around one anode to designate it from the other, and this would be the one - or the plate coming from this - that would ALWAYS be attached first; while the other anode - or the plate coming from it - not marked - would ALWAYS be attached last, see?)

29. Second day: The first plate (marked) would be attached to the left wrist, while the last plate (not marked) would be to the right ankle.

30. Third day: Make the first attachment to the left ankle, and the last to the right wrist.

31. Fourth day: The first attachment would be to the right ankle, the last to the left wrist.

32. Thus you will have made a circle of the body in the attachments, you see; the first plate attached becoming the positive, the last the negative. Then begin over again. Be very consistent with these applications, being sure the attachments are made properly each evening. After the third circling of the body (or twelve days), leave off the Appliance for a few days; and then begin all over again.

33. Doing all of these, and being very consistent with same, we find that we may bring the better conditions for this body.

34. Ready for questions.

35. (Q) What causes the terrible soreness lower part of abdomen, in between the hip bones? (A) As indicated, the pressure from the poisons of the natures indicated - and the irritation that comes at times to the prostate gland.

The use of the properties in the manners outlined, with the applications as suggested, we find will gradually ELIMINATE the causes of same.

36. (Q) The soreness and weakness in lower part of my back? (A) The same as has just been indicated.

37. (Q) What causes constipation? (A) The very natures of the condition as indicated.

38. (Q) Is my liver affected? (A) As just outlined, the liver AND the kidneys ARE the hepatic circulation; and, of course, through the affected portions of the jejunum and colon itself.

39. (Q) Is my gall duct and gall bladder affected? (A) Only sympathetically; but the use of those properties, with the other things suggested, will eliminate these disturbances.

Not just the properties alone, but regular periods of the manipulations as well as regular periods of the Appliance. And take the eliminant sufficiently long to ATTUNE the whole body!

40. (Q) What chance have I to get entirely well? (A) About fifteen to one!

41. (Q) Is my trouble same as my father had? (A) Couldn’t be! for the father is one entity and the self is another! It may be of the same NATURE, but it is NOT necessary of a hereditary condition; though thinking it will build just such a condition, of course!

42. (Q) Is there anything special that the God-mind wished to say to me? (A) Be consistent - BE CONSISTENT!

43. We are through with this Reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 10/13/38 [1196]‘s ltr. to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce,

Thank you so much for your letter of the 11th., also for placing my name on the prayer list. I did not receive the affirmation. Will you please have it sent to me and subsequent ones?

Your kind offer to check up on my physical condition is so much appreciated. I am not well at all, as I wrote you. The readings (the last one, especially, dated May 31, 1938) have always - in my opinion - pointed out the trouble, that of poor hepatic circulation, liver, prostate, toxic conditions, etc., but the treatment did not seem to help. The doctor here says it is my liver, faulty elimination, toxic condition, but notwithstanding he prescribed zilatone tablets (or caroid and bile tablets - which are practically zilatone tablets) and I took them, I did not profit by so doing. Mrs. Stone, neuropath, and Dr. Smith [S. P. Smith, D.C.], chiropractor, of this city, agree that your readings are correct. You know Dr. Stone. The past week I have been quite weak but have to keep on the job. My Bro. got me 3600.00 in debt, and I have had a long, hard struggle paying out. Now owe around 600.00. Neither he nor his son, the latter 47 and with a good position, will help a dime. Why is it that people like me who suffer for others have to suffer physically as I do? It certainly seems that good should come my way. Will you please telegraph me, at my expense, an appointment for your recheck on my condition, giving time of your locality, which is Eastern Standard, and date? I certainly hope the reading will locate the exact trouble and furnish the remedy. I shall then wire you confirmation of the appointment, or if the hour and date conflict with some imperative duty I shall wire you.
