This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 27th day of June, 1940, in accordance with request made by the parents, Mr. [2385], Mrs. [2336], through Associate Membership in the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. [2385], Mrs. [2336], and Mrs. [1523].]

At the home of Time of Reading his grandparents, 3:40 to 3:55 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Mr. & Mrs. […], …, Va.

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, [1990].

3. As we find, there is some reverting to former disturbances which we have indicated.

4. With the corrections that were made, and with the conditions clearing, - then with the diets that tended to aggravate, - while these have not been entirely lost, there is - however - apparently a greater disturbance in the superficial circulation than was indicated before.

5. It is still a glandular affection, but there is not so much disturbance there now as in the manner of the assimilation of foods.

6. Hence those applications as would be made should be not so much for the purifying or cleansing of the glands as formerly, - that is, with the Atomidine, but for the correcting of the assimilation through diet.

7. However, the Atomidine should be given regularly; one minim each day in periods of three to four days, - not longer, and then a rest period from same for twice as long before it would be given again, and so on, see?

8. Then, as for the diet, - this should be kept very close to that which has already been outlined.

9. Once a week should be sufficient for the adjustments. These should be given as relaxing treatments, and not as stimulating treatments.

10. In the present we would also give the body each day about a teaspoonful of Mullein Tea, made in this manner: This, as it may be gathered now, should be cleansed, and not too much but a bit of the flower included with the bruised leaves. Put two ounces of this in a pint of water, let it not boil but simmer - as tea; then strain and keep in a cool place. A teaspoonful of this two or three times a day would be well for the body. Be mindful that this does not sour, or become discolored or get sufficiently heated for it to form any skim over the top.

11. If there continues to be a great deal of disturbance in the patches, where there is the diffusion of that as should be eliminated nominally through the system, make an ointment with Plantain Leaves to apply on same. Take about half an ounce (by weight), bruise or cut fine, and then mix with a tablespoonful of cream that is taken from the top of milk, - not sour but sweet cream. Let this come almost to a boil. Then spread this on gauze and apply over the places at night. Of morning when arising cleanse same with an antiseptic; preferably Lavoris or Glyco-Thymoline, - either of these - they are both alkalin antiseptics, and are almost the same.

12. Doing these, we find that the condition should clear, and in a few weeks disappear.

13. Ready for questions.

14. (Q) Should Glyco-Thymoline be given internally? (A) This is very good; depending upon the reaction of the tea that has been indicated.

15. (Q) Should Calcios be continued? (A) Do not give the Calcios at the present time. Let’s clear the system more by the use of the properties indicated, before giving the Calcios.

16. (Q) White’s Cod Liver Oil Tablets? (A) These are very well. However, through the very warm periods these tend to make the body more tender - when the body is a great deal in the sun - and more susceptible to the changes in diet.

17. (Q) Are present eliminations sufficient? (A) We find that these will change somewhat with the tea taken regularly; as also through the diet indicated for the body with the tea.

18. (Q) Please comment on the following in the diet: - a. Corn bread? (A) This is very well if made either with just hot water or with soda and milk.

19. (Q) b. Grans brown sugar? (A) This is very well, so it is not overdone.

20. (Q) Cakes in the diet, other than lemon snaps? (A) We would leave off even the lemon snaps in the present; only have those that are made with the flour that is easily digested, - either of the popcorn or similar natures.

21. (Q) Could it be given at this time through what channels the emblems of the Jesuit can be secured for this entity? (A) There are only about three Jesuit stations, and only through these may they be obtained. Gethsemane, Kentucky will be the better place.

22. (Q) Any other advice regarding this body? (A) Do not let the body get too much overheated, nor too much in drafts when sleeping. Keep rather a uniform temperature, and remember that the sun is too hot on the beach except at certain periods and is sometimes too severe for this body; though days or hours when there is not too much of the violet ray it is well and good for the body.

It would be very well, whenever the body is on the beach - in the early morning or late evening, to wet the body and then cover it with dry sand, - then wash off before leaving the beach, see? This done for a few minutes will stimulate superficial circulation and be good for the body.

23. We are through with this Reading.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 10/1/40 INDIVIDUAL CASE REPORT:

ASSOCIATION FOR RESEARCH & ENLIGHTENMENT, INC., Virginia Beach, Virginia

Date of Reading Sept. 2, 1939 Case No. 1990-1—3

PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS CAREFULLY

(1) In your opinion did the analysis of the Reading cover the condition? Yes, especially in regard to: [See below.]

(2) Give symptoms of condition described correctly? Date of birth. Aug. 7, 1937. “At the age of six weeks Dr. S. L. Johns of Pittsburgh, Pa. put [1990] on a formula - due to lack of mother’s milk. After this change the skin condition described started spreading over his body, limbs and face. This became steadily worse, and eventually centralized on the joints of the arms and legs. It became necessary to bandage these due to drainage. After the first Reading, the condition cleared to a great extent - with only a redness under the skin. From January until June it was not possible to follow the Reading, and the condition became acute. The check Reading of June 27th, 1940 was followed in every detail keeping up the osteopathic treatments once a week until October 1st. The skin has been clear for three months showing no discoloration.

(3) What was the physician’s analysis of this condition? Dr. said the condition was due to the use of Carnation milk over a long period of time - Carnation milk being too rich - the same being true of other patients.

(4) Have the suggestions given in the Reading been followed exactly as outlined? Yes.

(5) For how long? Information given above.

(6) Describe the extent to which improvements have resulted? Condition entirely clear at present.

(7) Comment. Caution is being used in the diet and will be for some time to come - in regard to warnings given.

R2. 1/25/41 Mother’s letter: “I would love to go to … for a few weeks but I don’t feel that I want to take [1990] since his skin is coming along so fine and he appears to be in the best of health. Last year at this time while we were staying at my mother’s his skin was at its worst because they wouldn’t cooperate with me on his diet.”

R3. 12/9/41 See 1990-5, check Physical regarding headaches and nausea.
