This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 20th day of March, 1942, in accordance with request made by the daughter - […] [wife of [1561]], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 3:35 to 3:45 P. M. Eastern War Time. …, N.J.

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.

3. As we find, acute conditions have arisen.

4. The lack of coordination in eliminations and the regular distribution in circulation of the lymph flow has been and is causing, through portions of the body, that tendency towards dropsical conditions. Fluids are being formed in such manners as to become most alarming, unless some change is made.

5. As we find, that which may save these conditions in the present, is the administration by one of the homeopathic profession of that juice from the cimex lectularius. If called by the common name it might be offensive, but it is that which takes the place of atropine as might be used by one of the allopathic profession. If it is impossible to obtain this, then the use of atropine internally or by injections may be necessary - but use the other in preference.

6. Keep up the stimulation for setting up drainages, but do have this remedy from the homeopathic profession if possible.

7. Ready for questions.

8. (Q) Please give corrective measures for kidneys and for constipation. (A) These are a part of these conditions; and the eliminations and distribution of this accumulation of lymph must be attended to first and quickest.

THEN the high enemas or colonics, with Senna tea as the best eliminant, might be combined with these applications; though the senna tea may be necessary to take twice instead of once a day. The Senna tea is better than the Syrup of Senna, for the syrup would become hard upon the kidney reaction, while the regular senna tea - made from the senna pods or leaves - will set better drainage and better activity in the association with the drying effect upon the lymph. Just the regular senna tea, you see, made rather strong, to be sure, for the body, but at least a good teacup full.

9. (Q) Should we keep up all former treatments at this time? (A) Unless there is some correction in these directions indicated, it won’t be necessary to keep up any! But keep up those necessary for the better conditions.

10. (Q) What about diet - as she is sick at her stomach? (A) That will necessarily have to be more liquids. Beef juice may be easily assimilated, and will give better results in satisfying the body.

11. (Q) Should drinks be forced? (A) Sufficient for the maintaining of the activities of the system are necessary to be had.

12. (Q) What other liquids? (A) Any of those that have been indicated as stimulus to better circulation.

13. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 3/25/42 Daughter’s ltr.: “We have been giving Mother the cimex lectularius and I am happy to say she is responding to it and I feel the condition shows improvement. Am anxious to know if you have had similar conditions to Mother before and what results? I mean this last reading.” [She requested Physical Reading for Negro maid, [2714].]

R2. 3/26/42 Daughter’s ltr.: “Mother seems to be improving and do hope we get things under control. Many thanks to you all.”

R3. 6/4/42 Daughter’s ltr.: “Mother is almost over the dropsy, I am happy to report. We had to use Atropine the first time as we couldn’t get the cimex lectularius until the following Monday. Then we started right in on that.”

R4. 6/15/42 “Think Mother’s dropsy is a thing of the past but imagine it will take some time to build back again.”

R5. 1/6/43 “She has improved in many ways yet there are many things we must yet work out. We get so much more out of the reading if there, that I always like to have one when you are here.”

R6. 4/26/46 Son-in-law, Mr. [1561]‘s ltr. to HLC: “[Wife] joins me in sending love to you. Mother [1553] passed on a year ago.”
