This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 5th day of May, 1942, in accordance with request made by the self, Miss [[1771], Associate Member of the Association for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 9:15 to 9:25 A.M. Eastern War Time. …, Washington.

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

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1771]; this we have had before.

3. As we find, in the main, general conditions are improved. There is better circulation through the soft tissue of the organs of the sensory system; better reaction through the lungs and the digestive forces.

4. The specific disturbances that we find from the injury in the left limb or knee, - where there is a strained ligament, between the upper and lower portion (and this in the right side of same under kneecap), - it would be better NOT to have operative measures, but to apply - daily - in the afternoon or when ready to retire - wet heat; that is, heavy towels wrung out of hot water, as hot as body can well stand. Apply these once or twice and then thoroughly massage the knee, especially around the cap and on the inside and under side, with SALT that has been well saturated with Pure Apple Vinegar.

5. Do this for several days, and we should find - with the precautions - this disturbance being removed.

6. In the second and third day it may bring some excruciating pain, but it will disappear as DRY HEAT is applied - as from the Infra Red Light.

7. But continue with this and we will save a great deal of trouble later.

8. Of course, do not apply the Infra Red unless there is excruciating pain from the massage of the salt and the vinegar - and this should be well dampened with the vinegar, to be sure. This would be in the evening, you see - that is, the Infra Red - following the massage; but only if there is excruciating pain.

9. Of course, stay off the limb as much as possible. Don’t overexercise, but don’t give way too easily to it.

10. As for the digestive system, - occasionally, with this tendency for belching, take a small quantity - a quarter teaspoonful - of ALCAROID. This will aid in keeping a better condition through the digestive tract.

11. Ready for questions.

12. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 5/19/42 Letter: “Thank you so much for your prompt reply to my request for a reading. It was a relief to know an operation wouldn’t be necessary, and you’ll be glad to know the treatment suggested in the reading has brought results. There has been a marked improvement in the flexibility of the knee, and I expect it soon will be 100%; I am thankful, too, that the correction was made without the ‘excruciating pain’ which the reading said might be present.”

R2. 8/8/42 Letter: “The bad knee is infinitely better than when I wrote previously but still not 100% and I feel it should and could be, so I’d like another reading… Now, there is another problem. The accident was covered by insurance, and the insurance company will pay the local doctor bill but the agent was very dubious about the validity of the readings. So if you could send me a receipted bill on the letterhead for both readings, I’d appreciate it very much. Also if in the past there has been any case of an insurance company honoring a physical reading as medical service, that I could refer my insurance agent to, I’d be glad to know about it. I hope this won’t give you too much trouble. Funny isn’t it, the way they balk at $20 for readings because they’re psychic and you aren’t an accredited M.D. but they would have paid a three or four hundred dollar hospital bill without a murmur. What a lot they have to learn.”

B1. See 1771-3 on 6/26/39 for Hay Fever, etc.

B2. 4/30/42 “My chief concern is the condition of my left knee. On March 1st I fell while skiing and tore the main lateral ligament. Sufficient time has now elapsed for its complete recovery, but I haven’t full use of my knee. Now the doctor thinks a piece of loose cartilage has lodged in the knee joint and has suggested operating to remove it. However, before he does that I’d like a diagnosis by a higher intelligence.”
