This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 12th day of December, 1938, in accordance with request made by the self - Miss [1703], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 3:45 to 4:15 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Michigan.

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

2. EC: Yes. As we find, there are some improvements in the general physical forces of the body. While there are still disturbing factors, the response of the system to those suggestions and their application as has been made, shows there is that reaction which may be builded upon for better conditions.

3. There is the need, then, that a consistent and persistent use be made of those suggestions which have been indicated, - in each of those given.

4. To be sure, because the body in its mental attitude has refused or does refuse those suggestions does not mean that these are improper or should not make for betterments. But if the body refuses, then those physical attributes are lacking in those directions as to keeping the cooperative, coordinative forces as we have found would be the more beneficial to the body.

5. Then, we would not change in the present. Use those manners and those suggestions, in a consistent manner.

6. Ready for questions.

7. (Q) What caused this catarrhal condition and when did it start? (A) This has been existent for a long, long time; and the general reactions from the conditions which arose from the very NATURE of the blood supply in the body made the body rather SUSCEPTIBLE. And activities in the balance of the reactory forces in the chemical compound of the body brought about that which has produced same.

8. (Q) Should the tooth being treated be filled or pulled? (A) The back or the wisdom tooth should be pulled. The other filled, with the porcelain or such compound.

9. (Q) Why was constipation not mentioned in the Reading or advice given to keep the colon cleared till activity is restored? (A) With the training of the body, this should be a natural effect of the awareness as to the needs of same; hence not mentioned. And the keeping of the colon clean is that which is necessary for EVERY well-balanced body; hence should be and is a part of the experience for each entity.

10. (Q) Please advise about each of these as aids to colon cleanliness: laxatives (which); high colonics (where); enemas; Chex; sitz baths (spray or tubs); Young Dilators; color treatments (whose is best); slanting board and/or abdominal exercises; tensing; OR WHAT? (A) All of these may be said to have their place in the experience or consciousness of individuals in various stages of development or awareness.

Where there are such conditions as exist for this individual body, cathartics are poisons to the system - unless they be of a very mild vegetable nature or such derivatives for activity upon the system.

The irrigations, - such as cleanse the whole of the colon, - as colon irrigations properly given, - are for THIS body more beneficial, more effective.

The others, as the sitz bath, the board, the abdominal exercise and all, should NATURALLY for this body at times be a portion of the treatment.

But remember, as the mind changes, so do activities upon the physical attributes of the body change.

All then have a place, but the colonic irrigations and a mild laxative IF DESIRED are better for this individual body.

11. (Q) Is the lady I employ giving the kind of rub to establish the elimination mentioned in the Reading? Is said “elimination” that through the skin, kidneys, or colon? (A) The rubs are to stimulate the activity of the mucous membranes and to PREVENT the attempts of the kidneys, the skin or the respiratory system to do the work of the eliminating system which should be done through the alimentary or urinary canal; but for each portion of the body to be so stimulated or exercised as to perform its portion of the activity of the whole system, in keeping adjustments or activity in its proper relation one portion of the body to the other.

12. (Q) What was meant in the Reading [1703-1, Par. 15] by: “…the activity of the mental self - producing the plethoric conditions”? Does this refer to difficult situation in the past or to an attitude of mind that I should strive to correct? (A) This is rather what might be said to be a combination. That the attitude of mind in the past to conditions, circumstances and surroundings has caused a great deal of disturbance that has been and is a part of the present experience is evidenced. Then, the attitude of mind should be toward KNOWING that the influences of every force within the experience of an individual are a part of that individual’s activity in any given environ or surrounding.

Then when ANY condition is set wherein there are resentments to conditions such that there is builded the influences or forces to meet or overcome, these become natural problems to the mental self, - and find reflection in the activity of same through the physical forces of the body.

As may be a very poor but very definite illustration of same: When there is the approach of the body to an environ from which there is the odor of foods of certain character, there is aroused within the mental self either a desire for the satisfying of the appetite within that direction or there is builded the attitude that it should be put aside because it produces such and such in the system, because Jim, Jane or John said so! and yet the very inner self calls for those influences, KNOWING that within self the body, the mind and soul are a material representation of every influence that is without the self, - that may be viewed or become aware of by self.

Then the mind or mental self, or mental body, that is the builder for the physical as well as the directions from the spiritual, should be made to coordinate and cooperate; and USE and not abuse the knowledge of self!

13. (Q) Would other occupation than that of teaching be better for the mental self? If so, what? (A) As we find, in the immediate and in the present the teaching is rather preferable; to not only satisfy the abilities or desires in given directions but to add to the outlet of the mental self in directions that may be made most constructive. Because only that ye GIVE do ye POSSESS! And as ye give out direction, while ye cannot make same grow, ye may sow the seed and if it be perchance of the truth that finds lodgement in the minds and consciousness of those whom ye direct, - remember that the Creative Forces or God alone can or will give the increase.

14. (Q) Do the Codiron tablets make the stools black? (A) This is rather the combination of the ingredients of the Codiron with the form of diet as followed by the body. The Codiron in its balance, as we have indicated heretofore, is as well a balance for the system as may be had; and carries the proportions of the elements and vitamin forces to a degree that these are better suited than most any of such natures as may be provided for human consumption.

15. (Q) Are they constipating? (A) NO!

16. (Q) Do I drink enough water or juices to keep the colon and kidneys flushed? (A) Drink WATER rather than so much juices, if you would keep the kidneys and the colon flushed. Not sufficient water taken!

17. (Q) Since I get gas, seemingly, from cooked foods, would I do well to eat more and more raw and less cooked? (A) As we find, it is the matter of the BALANCE in same, rather than the cooked foods. For NATURAL sources should indicate to the body that raw foods, unless there is a great deal of physical exertion, are inclined to make gas more than cooked foods if the cooked foods - are properly balanced.

18. (Q) What was the cause of the sinking spell recently - gas pressing on the heart? (A) You answer it in yourself! The pressure of gas from those foods that fermented RATHER than digesting!

19. (Q) How can I prevent the food getting so bad an odor from defecation? Should not this chance for more poisons being formed be taken care of, so I will not continually be absorbing more? (A) This should be. The use of a ferment, such as we have indicated for many, would be most beneficial here.

20. (Q) Do you refer to Glyco-Thymoline? (A) Rather the powder than the Glyco (Alcaroid).

21. (Q) Why were meat and fish and milk prescribed in the Reading, as I use no meat, now, and dislike shell fish? (A) It wouldn’t be bad if you would use it! And the influences of same, in the CHARACTER or NATURE that is PURIFIED, for this body WOULD be better, as we have found and given, to build the proper activity for the system.

22. (Q) And milk, I find, makes more mucus, the basis for catarrh. (A) This if taken properly is NOT the basis of mucus. If this is thy experience, then there are other conditions producing same. For milk, whether it is the dry or the pasteurized or raw, is near to the perfect combination of forces for the human consumption.

23. (Q) What can be done to clear up the congestion in the fluid inside the spine, called by some the kundalini? Will yogi breaths aid? (A) As we find, rather the influences of the massage that will alleviate the pressures on those centers along the spine from which impulses are received to the superficial circulation from the deeper cerebrospinal impulses, would bring the better assimilated forces in the glandular activity.

The yogi breathing have their place, but when a condition has reached the place where there is the lack of the forces that PRODUCE same, - then supply them by release in the system of those centers from which impulse may be had.

24. (Q) What can I do to bring about a more harmonious coordination between the number of heart beats and the number of breaths in a given period of time, like a minute? (A) Again, in just the same manner as indicated. Through the manipulations and through the coordinating of impulses from centers in the areas as direct the activity or flow. For remember, every impulse is from a ganglion through activity of the cerebrospinal or sympathetic nerve system, as they coordinate one with another from their radial forces in the centers along the cerebrospinal system.

25. (Q) Why are coffee, coca cola, and carbonated water good for me? (A) To prevent the formation of gases in the system.

26. (Q) Please explain what “feel” I should be conscious of re milk? (A) As to its constituents as related to body elements in their necessity for the balance in the system of the whole activity of assimilation and elimination.

27. (Q) Which diets were bad for my body? (A) Those where there is the production of that which produces fermentation from the lack of sufficient balance, through the use of diet, to the lacteals - or the acids and alkalines, or the potash and the iodines.

28. (Q) Are eggs the menstruation of hens, as taught by one, and so not fit for food? (A) No. They are the product of the body. No more the menstruation than a body in conception, or after conception, is menstruation of the human body!

29. We are through with this Reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 12/17/38 Miss [1703]‘s letter to EC:

Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Va.

My dear Mr. Cayce:

Enclosed is a carbon copy of a letter just written to Mrs. Mason in New York City. She and her daughter had a cabin near mine last summer at the health resort of Dr. Lust, [at] Yungborn. She was there about three months; I, for two weeks. One evening I was reading “Health Culture” and came upon the article mentioning you, which I showed to her the next morning. I have been corresponding with her; so, since I seem to be an influence, I am sending you a copy of this, as I want to keep myself as reliable an avenue for information as possible, since I made myself a public experiment when I accepted a Reading.

The Check Reading came today and I have read it only twice; I need to study it more carefully before commenting upon it. However, first impression is that I came to earth with poor blood - probably a karmic result of a reckless life, or lives, when I did not live according to the laws of health. Just as some animals need meat and others will not eat it, we, too, probably develop bodies that may or may not “call” for meat. However, just because I have “bloody” blood that calls for meat is no reason I need to continue in this life time, creating karma for another body that needs meat to thrive upon. The first chapter of Genesis seems to make this clear, if it is not all symbology, for it says there we are given dominion over the beasts and, also, that seeds, fruits, and herbs shall be our meat. He cannot be in a dominion over animals, fish, and fowls if we come into their vibration, killing and eating them, it would seem to me. But, it all depends on one’s philosophy of life and how much his body means to him. IF I can purify the subtle body without meat, even if it shortens the flesh-calling body, perhaps, in the long run, I will gain progress in the process of evolution. I was at a meeting of college people once that broke up discussing how long is a “long run,” believe it or not, so, this matter of preserving the physical body for a shorter or longer time loses its importance - it, after all, is what we do with it day by day in Service. And, sometimes, one even wonders what “service” is, if it keeps one from a pain that is really a necessary growing pain of evolution and one that just must be experienced sooner or later.

Your letter refers to the studies I have had, which might aid you. Well, for instance, if my studies about milk are, after all, misinformation, it were better not to study, eh? I surely should like to meet and talk with you, and if school lets out soon enough in June, I hope, now, to drive to your annual Convention. The way I have taken course after course of occult teachers in the time I have been in … shows I probably have some former teachings within the consciousness that are been [being] led out. The last three or four years, however, I have not had the Inner contacts, due, no doubt, to the bad physical condition of the vital centers that step down the higher vibrations. I used never, never to need an alarm clock - I just “set” my mind. But, now, I sleep right through the period for having the Wet Cell Appliance applied, so find I had to buy an alarm clock today. This is just one minor example. I used to get very reliable hunches and at times, hear the “Voice of the Silence.”

Enclosed is the copy of the lesson from the Coptic Priest, to which I referred. You probably know that it is said the Coptic Religion is the only one extant that was started by Jesus, the Christ, himself. Anyway, their work is very sublime! It lifts one a great deal.

PLEASE do not think I am, in the enclosed letter, trying to let Mrs. Mason suspect psychic Readings are apt to be messed up with meddlers, in your case: However, I feel just as I did last summer when she was about to go to Dr. Kolar in Kansas, to have her daughter’s organs lifted because Dr. Lust advised her to do so. I said to her, “Dr. Lust told you to come here for three months, too, didn’t he?” She answered, “Yes.” “And,” I went on, “how much good has it proven - his advice?” She admitted Grace was much worse. Then I told her to consider, carefully, just how much good Dr. Lust’s advice might be about Dr. Kolar! To use her own head! Well, you see, she did not go to Kansas. For days, friends wanted me, at Yungborn, to talk with Mrs. Mason. My reply was, “I would not, for the world, influence Mrs. Mason, for Dr. Kolar may be just the next experience she needs.” So, it was not till the very last of my stay that she, through these friends, came to talk with me, of her own initiative.

So, in the case of my not following the Readings about the present, feel that it is a question what I want most - a good, husky, physical body, fed on meat but in which the vibrations are lowered for spiritual development, or a body body made more fit, if possible, for progress on higher planes of consciousness. Perhaps this will be brought out in a Life or Mental Reading. I spoke of having the Life in December - maybe the Mental should come first. So, I will think it over before I have you set the time, with my money on hand, too, which I did not get ready for mailing today.

Thank you, very, very much for the Reading [and] your letter.

Very truly yours, [1703]

R3. 2/5/39 Miss [1703]‘s letter to Health Home Remedies Corp.:

Health Home Remedies Corp., P.O. Box 273, Norfolk, Virginia

Gentlemen:

Enclosed is the wrapper from the last parcel sent to me with the 1 1/2 lbs. Copper Sulfate, 30 grains Zinc, and 1/2 lb. Willow Charcoal. You will note in the lower right corner that the package as you sent it did not hold up and had to be rewrapped enroute [H.H.R.C.’s handwritten comment: “2nd report like this.”]. Thought you should be made aware of this so that you can put the materials in a stronger box and heavier paper.

This is time for me to order again for a fourth recharge of my wet cell appliance. I did not get to doing it for the third recharge till last Sunday. Just now, I thought it a good idea to give it a stir, as I find the charcoal settles so much. I have found lately that the copper sulphate is coming out through the pores of the jar and this a.m., just a week after a new supply, the jar is quite covered with it on the outside and at the bottom. I cannot get the wooden lid on, either; so I have decided not to reorder supplies and let the jar and cover dry out a month or more.

Also, according to my Reading October 8 [1708-1], to quote: “Do these, and as we find…by the time there has been the third or fourth recharge of the Appliance…we will see a change as never before, in the feelings and the ability of activities of the body.” - the ending of the present recharge should be the period for my feeling a change for the better. Such change will have to be manifesting itself shortly, if at all, as at present I feel about as I did October 8. I had a bad spell in school Friday; my eyes are just as bad, and gradually getting more blurry; the use of such starches as indicated in the Reading - wheat for breakfast, makes a burning and I have a bad lot of canker sores in my mouth from acidity. I have followed the Reading at least 95%, leaving out the wheat and meats. So, it would appear there is something, yet, that Readings do not get at, in my case. The putrefaction is still bad in the colon, hence common sense says to leave off meats; the check Reading December 12 suggests I have not cooperated, but I believe I have done a fair job, sticking to the Cod-Iron, twice-weekly steam baths and oil rubs, and daily use of the Wet Cell, with considerable walking and foods as near nature as possible. A copy of this is going to Mr. Cayce for his records.

Very truly yours, [1703]

R4. 2/6/39 Miss [1703]‘s letter to EC:

My dear Mr. Cayce:

The copies of the two enclosed letters will be part of this, and perhaps be what you want for your records of my case to date, at the close of about four months. In the letter to Mrs. Verhoeven is an example of the kind of “spell” I have, growing more frequent - a horrible experience, while it lasts.

It is possible that either or both of the other Readings that you give would through [throw] light on this failure of the vital and physical bodies to be properly aligned - perhaps a karmic “hang-over.” At this time, I have made so many expenditures that I have not the money to send. In another month or two, I shall hope to have it on hand, as part of budget for health. Also, I expect to get into a Health Club, for more physical exercises and, perhaps, a more competent one to rub on the oil, as the lady I have had for that work, to come in, is not professionally trained. I wanted to know in the Check Reading if she is good enough; the question, however, did not fetch that answer, assuming, I suppose I had a good masseuse. She has been very faithful to come in.

At the present, I find myself about a nervous wreck; the weather keeps me busy just keeping warm, hence I tried to eat a little more starch and sugar (honey and raw sugar, with the result - cankers! I do not drive, snow is so bad, and the public buses make me terribly jittery. Last Evening I was the only one in a loaded bus to cry out when it scraped a car so I could hear the fenders bend. I get these lighted-headed spells, “stepping out of the body,” yet with no warning or dizziness, in school - ghastly! I do not think diet or lack of it gets at such a phase of my trouble. I cure up cankers quickly with raw alkaline juices and lots or raw apples - the pectin heals the mucous membranes. I have had pains like it might be in the region of the appendix this week, so this a.m. resorted to my magnetic blanket, using a towel rung out of cold water over the abdomen with rubber sheet over and around my torso, then the powerful U-coil and pad under and over me, with the whole blanket entirely over me, feet in huge heated boots. In half an hour I had stimulated activity and eliminated lots of black, awful-odor stools. I surely am glad for my equipment and knowledge of foods, to know how to quickly get out of such “jams.”

In my Check Reading is this reply about raw foods:-

“For NATURAL sources should indicate to the body that raw foods, unless there is a great deal of physical exertion, are inclined to make gas more than cooked foods - if the cooked foods are properly balanced.”

I fail to understand what sources are “NATURAL sources”; as far as the latest science has worked it out, the vitamins are in the raw foods and are KILLED with freezing or cooking of preservatives. So, with a very small amount of VITAL foods, [even at-first] requiring more energy to digest than a lot of unsatisfying foods, one gets life itself, which, in turn, gives vitality for digesting the raw foods. I heard a teacher remark just what is the experience of nearly every one, at lunch last week at school: “I had a large lunch (cooked foods), yet I am not satisfied.” The reason would appear to be she has eaten a lot of DEAD (cooked) foods, and the body is still craving them [things]. Also, minerals are often thrown out in public places that cook vegetables. So, adults especially eat lots more food than the body requires in the effort to get satisfied; the result is a lot of waste which rots in the intestines and blood stream and causes many various diseases. It stands to reason (anyway it makes sense to me) that a few spoons of LIVE, uncooked, foods feeds the body more than a lot of DEAD, cooked foods. This also seems to be the actual experience of some I know; for instance, a friend in Florida was given up to die in October, 1937. Her husband searched his book shelves and took out a book* on raw foods by Dr. Richter (25 years a Doctor and Teacher of Live Food Philosophy), who has had a raw and uncooked food cafeteria in Los Angeles for some 18 years. He gave her raw juices and, in many letters since, I have her case record - a marvelous one. Just last week she took me to task, urging me to use an only-raw diet. She has had no cooked foods in this year and a half; has gained from 75 to 112 pounds and has moved, taken care of an eight-room home, and [is] going out at least once or twice a week to lectures. She scores me for going into expensive experiments when health is in raw diet, exercise and hope. She, also, in this time, has had some spinal adjustments and has sloughed off, down to the last, almost, a good-sized tumor, mucous discharges till she writes one wonders how so small a body could have contained it all. In my case, I am NOT discharging poisons! under the present health program, so something radically different must be done.

Believe me, Mr. Cayce, I am trying to state my case as honestly as I see it at present, and with the best of feelings toward you and your work, believe me to be

Sincerely yours,

R6. 3/29/39 Report of specimens for Miss [1703]:

The fecal specimen shows a total absence of the natural protective flora in the lower bowel. The natural acidophillus has been replaced by countless billions of putrefactive bacteria. These poisonous germs are generating toxins from food residues in the lower bowel, and there is a great deal of absorption of these poisons into the blood stream. This is proved by the fact that the urinalysis shows a great deal of indican. This indican is being filtered from the blood by the kidneys and these organs are being damaged in consequence. This is also proved by the fact that the urine shows a trace of albumin. Albumin is another name for protein. It is the building material of the blood stream and would not pass away in the urine if the kidneys were in a healthy condition, but they are suffering damage from these poisons in the system. There is 90% of Gram negative bacteria, toxic germs in the feces, which should not exceed 20%. There is a five plus colon bacilli toxins and three plus Welchii. Also a one plus streptococci, which is very toxic feces. Some starch granules are undigested and excess mucus, also, in feces. The reaction is Alkaline pH 9.4, whereas it should be an acid reaction of the feces, as it would be were B. acidophillus present.

The urine analysis shows a one plus calcium oxalate crystals caused by spinach, rhubarb and other food containing much oxalic acid. There is a two plus uric acid, which, in excess, forms stones. There is a five plus bacteria present, abnormal in fresh urine. A four plus indican; never normal to have any indican in the urine; it results from poisons generated in putrefactive bacteria in the intestines. The acid reaction of urine is 6.0 pH; normal is near pH. 6.6. Urea present is 0.35%.

R13. 6/9/40 [1703]‘s letter to HLC:

Mr. Hugh Lynn Cayce Ass’n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc. Virginia Beach, Virginia

My dear Sir:

Your request of May 29th is hereby having some attention. I am sorry that many phases of activity here have kept me from getting it to you sooner.

As you will note in the check physical reading, there was indication that I did not follow the first reading, hence did not obtain full results or complete recovery. Correspondence will show that is true in that I did not accept the directions to eat meat. I have had no flesh, fowl, or fish for three years, now, and feel my energy and endurance are becoming better and the uric acid from them being decreased, the pains are about all gone in my back, except upon long, hard work, which I am not required to do, anyway.

The directions in the Reading for October 8 [1703-1] were followed in most respects for three months. I have not used the Wet Cell Appliance since, and probably shall not use it any more. In case you have a patient who can use it and who cannot pay for one ($25.00 is what I paid), I shall be glad to donate my outfit for the good of the cause. The earthen jar, however, became soaked, cracked and leaked, so is discarded. I will send it by Express for charges to be paid by receiver in case you furnish me an address of a worthy and poor-financially party who may benefit with the use of this appliance. During the summer, I shall be gone, leaving … June 21, so such a request will have to be at once or after September 3, 1940.

You ask me to report on the correctness of analyzing my condition in the throat and head. It has been years since I had any trouble and my voice is very clear and strong, with no indications of a catarrhal condition. There was a tendency in years 1915 - 1922 that, had I continued to fill the body with irritating, mucus-forming foods, it would have clogged my body in that region, as well as in abdominal organs. I am still far underweight; no doubt it will take years of correcting feeding to get the kidneys normal so that the weight-building foods will not be drained off, but will form muscle. I am so active I have no inclination to bother with myself as long as I am not in pain, taking steam baths, treatments, etc. So, all in all, the Physical Readings were very accurate as to indicating my bad condition with respect to catarrh in different parts of my body - and I am not free, yet of it! I had, in the spring of 1939, an examination with a Radioclast that confirmed the Readings and even went further in that the machine-reading “saw” a growth of abnormal nature, now dormant.

R14. 7/12/40 She referred Mrs. [2305] for a Physical Rdg.

R15. 1/7/43 She obtained emergency Physical Rdg. for Mrs. [2878].
