This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 1st day of April, 1938, in accordance with request made by the brother - Mr. […], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 3:20 to 3:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Ky. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes.

2. Now as we find, in some specific instances or respects conditions show improvement; in others there are apparently, or outwardly, greater distresses.

3. These conditions exist, as we find, in the present:

4. The adhesions show some improvements, in those areas that have been indicated - in the lacteal duct and caecum, and through the right portion of the body.

5. But the activities of same - that is, the drosses or the refuse forces that are accumulations in system - cause greater anxiety to the body at times; and apparently, while not so severe in their nature, are more aggravating and disturbing to the body - in the incoordination, and spasmodic reactions.

6. These as we find arise mostly from the conditions produced through the alimentary canal or lower portion of same, through the colon area.

7. Then, in the present:

8. We would keep the Packs in periods of an hour to two hours at a time, as have been indicated; just as warm as the body can stand same during the periods of application.

9. The adjustments have been very well. Make more of these in the lumbar axis and through the sacral, as well as coordinating them through the rest of the areas from which impulses are received from the cerebrospinal and sympathetic system.

10. And at least every other week, or oftener, have the cleansing of the colon with high enemas.

11. If the conditions that produce the spasmodic reactions still persist after the next three weeks, then we would use the compound from the Passion Flower - prepared in this manner:

12. To a gallon and a half of water add 6 ounces of the Passion Flower (Passiflora). Reduce by slow boiling to a pint, when strained. Use rather an enamel container than metal or aluminumware for such reduction. Then add (to the pint) an ounce and a half of Pure Grain Alcohol.

13. The dose of this would be a teaspoonful four times each day; after the meals and before retiring.

14. Be mindful of the diet that it is kept more alkaline than acid.

15. And if there are the activities in the open as much as possible, as weather permits, it will be much better.

16. Ready for questions.

17. (Q) Have the Oil Packs been used correctly? (A) These are very good, but as indicated have them for periods of two hours when they are given; changing them at least twice during the two hour periods, see?

18. (Q) To what extent can and should he attempt exercise? (A) Exercise in the open, as it is possible, is very well.

19. (Q) Does it seem that the recommended treatments have been followed as outlined in the previous Reading? (A) In the general manner, yes. It is indicated that more specific adjustments are needed in the lumbar and sacral.

20. (Q) Is there any material change, either for better or worse? (A) As indicated, there is a better condition through the causes; though the eliminations of those portions broken up cause, as it were, greater weakness and greater exhaustion at times.

Hence the necessity of assisting in eliminating from the colon.

Do these as we find; we will bring the better conditions for this body.

21. We are through with this Reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 4/4/38 Letter from EC to [1465]‘s brother, Mr. […]:

“Am sure from […]‘s letter and yours just how anxious you and Mrs. […], as well as rest are about [1465]‘s condition. Do hope you will be able to get some help from the suggestions given, realize how hard it is to get the cooperation of the Dr. Will the Dr. write me about his findings - ask him will you? Am sure there are some just as good as he, that cooperate with the information possibly if he understood this, and will let him ask the Dr’s themselves

• not my word for it.

“Certainly wish we had a place here where we could have [1465] looked after. But can only hope for and pray for the best. Know we wish to do every thing possible. Please let us hear from you as to how he comes along won’t you?”

R2. 4/11/38 GD’s note: A letter was rec’d by EC from Ralph S. Voris, D.C., regarding Case [1465], according to a notation in [1465]‘s file to see this letter. However, the letter cannot be found. If it turns up it will be included here.

R3. 4/22/38 EC’s letter to [1527]‘s mother - see under 1527-2. Reports, gives 1465-1 and 1465-2 as examples of osteopathic treatments not being given correctly.

R4. 5/17/38 Father’s letter to EC:

“I am writing you in regard to [1465]. He is probably holding his own. In some respects seems better, but so far as the use of himself do not see any improvement, rather seems to be slipping.

”[…] wanted me to ask you if you ever had any other patients with the same trouble he has, and has any of them gotten well or are they getting well?

“In your original reading you recommended or prescribed oil packs daily for six months, and in a recent reading you said to continue the oil packs. The six months has expired and we are wondering if the oil packs should be continued on. Could you give us right meaning in regard to this?

“You make us believe that you have a personal interest in [1465]. And while we are limited in money we will go to any expense within our means to restore [1465] to health.

“Do you think a checkup reading would be of any help by this time?”

R5. 5/19/38 EC’s letter to [1465]‘s father:

“Thank you for yours of 17th. Want to assure you Mr. […]

[I] feel a very personal interest in [1465] and sincerely trust we may be of some help. It might possibly be well to have a check up - but please don’t feel that you have to send money every time you have a check up. Please know am not trying to run up a bill on you - no matter how well financially you may be fixed. It is not for the money that I try and give myself to this work - it is the sincere desire to try and help. Wish might lay before [you] some of the letters have received from people who have and are getting help - just the ones have had this week. Well you would understand.

“Mr. […] - write me the whole history of [1465]‘s condition will you and let us try and make a few questions - that possibly enable us to find something that may hasten his recovery. Am setting the time for this for next Wed., the 25, 10:30 to 11:30 EST. Be sure and let me know if this time suits - and you are not to send any money for this - and please let’s have the case history from whenever the trouble began.

“Assuring you just hope you may have the experience so many others have had with the work.”

R6. 5/23/38 Letter from father to EC:

“Received your letter this A.M. Your work is strange to us, but from what we have heard and read, and from the information and instructions you have given us on [1465], we are trusting his life on you. We are carrying out your instructions just as nearly as we can. Sure appreciate your interest in him, and want to thank you for the check up reading set for Wed. at 10:30 to 11:30 EST. We will look forward to this hour.

“I had Mrs. […] and [1465] to take down some notes so I could tell you the history of his trouble, but I have decided to just send their notes on to you. Believe you can get more from their notes than from what I could write in a brief time.

“Again thanking you for your special consideration, we are, Most sincerely yours,” […] & family

R7. 5/23/38 Mother’s notes re [1465]:

“In May 1933 [1465] had a severe spell of tonsilitis. We had his tonsils removed in May, 1933 after a spell of tonsilitis.

“We didn’t know anything was wrong with [1465] until Sept., 1933. His left arm begun to tremble. He was in C.C.C. Camp. He stayed on in camp until April 1st, 1934. Arm still trembling more or less and would give out when working. He kept up and worked some until in October, 1934, took a cold and had trouble with lungs. Layed up then until Feb., 1935 and Dr. said he could go back to work. Worked until August, 1935. Has never done any work since except to read, write, and has not been able to do that since November, 1937.

“In August and September of 1935 took some Hyocine tablets. He took Hyocine tablets from Sept., 1936 to Dec., 1937. But hasn’t taken any since about the middle of Feb., 1938. They would stimulate him and he could relax better and have better use of himself.

“From Sept. to Nov., 1937 he took adjustments from chiropractor, but seemed to grow worse, and he could not care for himself, read or write and scarcely talk - even could not answer us.

“Now since we have thought on his sickness so much, we remember in the spring of 1933. He seemed timid in the public, noticed it then but thought he was like so many young boys are - just bashful and afraid of making a mistake, but now we are sure it was this trouble. Below is [1465]‘s own history. He says he first noticed his arm not being right - when he was 18 yrs. of age. A little later when excited or frightened the left arm and hand would shake a little. Several months later at ending of day’s work hand showed a little tremble. Gradually it became awkward to use. Bothered mostly when excited or tried to use it. A little over a year later the trouble went to the left leg, making progress very slowly. Gradually it grew worse in left arm & leg. It seemed to affect the right arm - and leg about Oct. of 1937. It was bad when leaving off hyscine [hyocine] tablets. In a short time became unable to care for self.”
