This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 25th day of August, 1941, in accordance with request made by the self - Dr. [2067], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 4:10 to 4:20 P. M. Eastern Daylight Saving Time.

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, [2067]; this we have had before.

3. Conditions are changed somewhat since last we had same here.

4. As we find, these may be described in the present as follows:

5. There are still toxic conditions that present something akin to neuritis, and tending toward arthritis.

6. These may now be better handled by the use regularly of Atomidine. Take internally three minims in half a glass of water each morning before any meal is taken, for a period of fifteen days. On the fifteenth day take TEN MINIMS.

7. That same day, in the evening, have an Epsom Salts Bath. Use at least ten to fifteen pounds of Epsom Salts thoroughly dissolved in forty gallons of water, very hot - or as warm as the body can stand same. Stay in the Bath for at least half to three quarters of an hour. But massage the body while in the bath. Then afterwards have a thorough rubdown with Peanut Oil and then rub alcohol. Of course, this should be done by a masseuse or a good practical nurse.

8. This will tend to relieve those tensions as indicated in the greater portion of the disturbed areas of the body; while there are those strains in the feet and ankle that need corrective measures for the feet themselves. Then with the special type shoe these should gradually correct the condition.

9. This will also aid, through the absorption of the Atomidine, in correcting the glandular forces and making for better eliminations through their regular channels.

10. The rest of the conditions, - as through the hips, the various portions of the body, the blemishes as well as the general conditions in the muscular forces, in the extremities and all, - will be materially aided; provided the foods are kept in an equal balance, tending more - to be sure - towards vegetables and fruits and fruit juices, and nuts instead of too much of meats. These will be better for the body.

11. Ready for questions.

12. (Q) Is the arthritic condition mainly caused by lack of proper food, since when I can eat my pains disappear mostly? (A) Arthritis is rarely caused by lack of food, unless one went on very long periods of fasting and there were already sources from which the inflammation or poisons accumulated.

As indicated for this body here, the disturbances are more in the alimentary canal as related to the body attempting to eliminate through channels that are not regular eliminating channels. Hence the rubs, the massages, the types of baths, etc.

13. (Q) Is there any focal point of poisoning that I can do anything about that is causing pains in arms and sore joints in fingers? (A) Haven’t we just been describing it?

14. (Q) Is there serious trouble with sensitive tooth just filled on lower right jaw near front? (A) This is only a matter of having it corrected and attended to; not serious.

15. (Q) What can I do to improve relaxation, lessening of tension, and promote sleep? (A) Just as indicated; the periods of taking the Atomidine, followed by the Epsom Salts Bath and rubs. Don’t do it just once and stop. Rest about ten days and then begin all over again, see?

16. (Q) What is the best way to treat the bunion on left foot that punches a hole through my shoe? (A) Treat the foot, as has been indicated!

17. (Q) What health condition always makes me less well summers in N.H.? (A) The water and the effect it has upon eliminations.

18. (Q) Will the food supplied in the dormitory dining room of Limestone College where I am to work be sufficient to keep me healthy? (A) This depends upon whether it’s supplied from the college or not! This will depend upon individuals’ activity and may not be given from here. Ordinarily, you can answer Yes and No and both possibly be correct.

19. (Q) Will the metaband leather bars on outside of shoes continue to relieve the pain in left hip, or is there other trouble there? (A) This comes from pressures, as well as from the conditions needing correction; which will be helped by the doing of the things suggested. Do all the things indicated, if we would gain the help, - consistently, persistently.

20. We are through with this Reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 9/3/41 [2067]‘s ltr. to EC:

…, South Carolina

Dear Mr. Cayce:

I want to thank you very much for giving me the check Physical Reading. I will get the Atomidine just as soon as I can and follow directions. We are leaving here, New Hampshire, now in a day, driving to New York City and then I will make my way to South Carolina. I have given you my address which is the above.

The summer has been rather hectic for us but God has been with us and we still live. Many good things have come out of the trials I am sure.

My very good friend, Major [2576], has been raised up to help me with the work, so that I did not fall under my burdens this summer. I could not have carried on alone with all the children and confusion of this summer.

We, the Major [2576] and I, are planning to visit you during the Christmas vacation if you are in town and have two paid Readings as soon as we earn the money. The Major is very much interested in what you told him, but feels there is much more to tell that will be able to be gotten when he is present that will be of great help when he starts his new work. His gratitude to you is very great and his appreciation inestimable.

Please know that I appreciate all that you are doing for us. We hope to be of help to you and the work as we get opportunity. Kindest regards to family and all friends.

Very sincerely, [2067]

B1. 8/14/41 [2067]‘s ltr. to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce:

I hope you are not too tired out these days. When I last saw you in Virginia Beach at the Congress time and mentioned a possible recheck physical reading, you told me you were too busy then and for some time in the future. I have kept the questions ready for the time when you would not be too rushed. Perhaps it would be well to send them to you at the present time, and you would know when you could best work them in in a few minutes some time?

It has been necessary and is necessary for me to work beyond my strength this summer, so that my health is not too good. I follow directions as much as possible under the strained present circumstances of being long months out of work with nothing sufficient to get along with.

I have had a tooth grumbling for a long time which is hard on the nerves. I had the nerve killed and the root filled and the rest of the tooth - semi-double tooth lower right jaw near front - but it still grumbles. I do not know that it has anything to do with my almost constant ache in right arm, also pain in right groin, below abdomen. I have asked questions to cover these things in the enclosed sheet.

We expect to be here the rest of this month and possibly a few days in September, then I will be wandering until my school begins, knowing not where to go - when school begins, my time will not be my own, so I will not be so easy to locate.

I am here by […], and not of course at the mailing address. I think it would be easy to locate here as our cottage is called ”…”.

I am so thankful that you are trying to get a Life Reading for my good friend Major [2576] who has been boarding with us all summer. He is most anxious for the Reading and most appreciative of all you are doing for him and others. I feel he can in the future help greatly with the work as he is much in public affairs where he meets all types of people, is a lecturer and writer, historian, and a person with a future.

Kindest regards to the family. I have never heard from Hugh Lynn since I left Virginia. I suppose he is busy and that the Christ Ministry pamphlet can wait indefinitely. I wanted to know his purpose and the length of the pamphlet so that I could be planning and thinking about it.

Very sincerely, [2067]
