This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 4th day of November, 1938, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [1568], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., through Hugh Lynn Cayce.

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

Time of Reading 3:50 to 3:55 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York, N.Y.

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

2. EC: Yes.

3. As we find, conditions are much improved from that as we have had here before.

4. In the present, there only needs to be those precautions as to assimilation and elimination.

5. And when there is the least upsetting from cold or congestion, there should be greater activities in alkalizing the system, increasing the eliminations, thus keeping the equilibrium or metabolism of the system in normal balance. This would be through those manners and suggestions which have been made, with correcting pressures in the cerebro-spinal system, and through physiotherapy and hydrotherapy keeping a normal balance.

6. With these, watching the diet and keeping in attune with constructive thinking, we will find we will maintain a better normal physical, mental and spiritual balance through the physical, mental and spiritual forces of this body.

7. Ready for questions.

8. (Q) Any specific corrections in the cerebrospinal system? (A) Only when there are the needs for such, owing to some condition arising in the system.

9. We are through with this Reading.

Reference 1568-1 Apr. 11th 1938 Reference 1568-4 Nov. 4th 1938

Following receipt of Reading of Apr. 11th 1938 all of the directions given were followed and the last slight attack of pyloric spasm occurred on May 9th 1938.

Since June 1938 none of the suggestions about taking olive oil & saffron tea etc. have been followed although much greater care was taken about diet and alcoholic drinks than previously.

The check reading of Nov. 4th 1938 seemed to confirm the improvement noted and as there had been no recurrence of any of the old symptoms, I just went along in a normal mode of living.

On Wed. evening March 22nd, I had a very severe and prolonged attack of pyloric spasms which lasted four hours and which necessitated morphine hypodermically to quiet. Was in bed for two days on liquid diet and have been home now five days in all and appear to be well over the attack but have not yet started to eat meat or my normal type of meals.

Will you please give me a check reading and answer the following questions.

1. What was the cause of the violent attack referred to above?

2. Realizing that pyloric spasm is only a reflex and is caused by something affecting adjacent parts or organs can you state which parts or organs fail to function thus causing the spasm?

3. Is the cause due to a defect in or faulty functioning of the gall bladder?

4. Are there stones in the gall bladder?

5. Is the appendix in any way involved?

6. Is the pancreas in any way involved?

7. For lunch on the day of the last attack I had a Martini Cocktail, an assortment of cold hors d’oeuvres, (stuffed eggs, sardines, codfish roe), one mouthful of breaded veal cutlet, some fried potatoes & peas and a cup of coffee & a small glass of Benedictine (less than a mouthful). For the evening meal I only had milk toast & ice cream. I took a dose of alcaroid at 5:00 P.M. and another after the evening meal at 8:30, but the attack came on in spite of this. Is the food taken at lunch, or the drinks, responsible for the attack?

R4. 3/31/39 Wire: FIRST OPENING MONDAY AFTERNOON THREE-THIRTY FOUR-THIRTY ADVISE IF SATISFACTORY AT HOME.

R5. 4/3/39 See 1568-5.
