This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, in Pinewood on Lake Drive, Va. Beach, Va., this 21st day of March, 1932, in accordance with request made by self - [2239], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mr. [437].

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mildred Davis, Hugh Lynn and L. B. Cayce.]

Time of Reading 10:40 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York, N.Y. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions as surround the body, [2239]. Now, as we find, there are conditions as disturb the body. These are primarily of a specific nature, while the effects as have been found in the system are reflex, and those things that have been applied in the main, where they have brought ANY relief, it has only been temporary, or little or no change at all. The specific conditions being rather that as hidden, than that as is manifested. Hence the manifestations have been, and are - as in many cases of such natures - in their incipiency, indications and not causes.

2. These, then, as we find, are the conditions with this body, [2239], we are speaking of:

3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find very good in many respects. At times, as tests or indications have shown, there ARE poisons in the blood stream that are not eliminated through the normal channels. Hence at times a disorder in the pulsation in the heart’s pressure, or blood pressure - and the pulsation shows that there must be some basis for infections in system.

4. IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, here we find the conditions that are the INDICATORS, rather than again the cause, yet these are more often affected by the very nature of the disorder and of the condition itself.

5. In the centers where the distress of the specific nature has existed, does exist in a manner, we find these (reflex) show for those pains or impressions in the lower cervical and upper dorsal area; for from these ganglia - both direct and sympathetic - does the strain come on the system, and the pains in the neck, the head, and the resultant disturbance with digestive system is from those strains produced in this way and manner. We find then the specific condition, that where there have been some indications of a weakness, a weakened condition, and weakness exists from an external strain on a portion of the spinal column just below the brachial centers. Hence the stomach itself is out of position, dropped low; not to the extent as to disturb the digestive system in the way that these would at times, or that such conditions at times do, but sufficient that the body - with its own care, attention to the diet, the characterization of the activities - has left the strain rather on the nervous system. Hence the nervous system is the more direct indicator of the disorder itself. This, as we find, with an upright position may be indicated by an X-Ray examination; not fluoroscope only, but a direct application of the radiograph or X-Ray plate, made with the body standing in an erect or upright position, will show that there is a strain ESPECIALLY on the cardiac plexus, that makes for this heaviness when walking or just after exercises, either in walking or of the activities that bring about those strains on a well balanced, in many ways, physical and mental body; making a specific condition - yet, unless these are, as we find, attended to, and the system attempting to adjust itself to the disorders and the disruptions of the system, must create some more serious conditions to be dealt with, as connected with the digesting and assimilating system. Hence the nerve strain IS that that has told most, to the present, in the disorders with this body, [2239].

6. The most of the other system we find well.

7. As we would find, in meeting then the needs of these conditions, we will find not by medicinal properties taken INTO the system, save as will be well to keep that as will make for a more alkalin condition while the corrections are being made, that those strains in the nervous system are kept in that position of creating a better balance in the blood supply; this RIDDING the system of accumulations of poisons at times that come from these disorders or pressures, or excess of the refuse forces or drosses as are created by the system attempting to adjust itself to those strains, both in the mental and physical strain under which such conditions put the body, and that those regions in the dorsal - from the 8th and 9th dorsal to the upper cervicals - are adjusted and manipulations given, to make for a near NORMAL balance of impulse through the ganglia to the torso of the body, all the way along, with the wearing of an abdominal or stomach SUPPORT in such a way and manner as to take the strain off of the body; and we will find that in a few weeks, with the care and attention in diet, the proper precautions as to the activities, we will be rid of these conditions - and a near normal condition for the body. Ready for questions.

8. (Q) Did removal of tonsils and teeth benefit my condition? (A) That would be dependent upon the manner in which this would be viewed. The tonsil and the teeth NOT the CAUSE of the disturbance, yet these are NATURAL channels IN which disorders arise when pus or drosses are left often in the system, and would have PROVEN to have been a source of secondary causes by this period; though these - had there been the proper correction, would not have been necessary for the removing of same. Makes it rather heavy on the system at present, especially the nervous system. Do as we have outlined.

As we would find, one - Daley [spelling?] - would be well to treat this body - he’s an osteopath, a homeopath, as well as electric [eclectic?].

9. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 3/29/32 [2239]‘s ltr. to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce,

Received your reading which I appreciate very much.

In the reading you mentioned one Daley, an osteopath. I have been unable to locate him and would appreciate it if you would give me his address.

Yours sincerely [2239]

R2. 4/2/32 EC’s ltr. to [2239]:

Dear Mr. [2239]:-

In reply to yours of recent date, I am sorry to say that we haven’t Dr. Daley’s address. I do not know whether he is in Brooklyn, Long Island City, or at … St., New York City, or New York. However, if you will phone Mr. [417], at … St., New York City - Wisconsin-…, I think he will be able to give you Daley’s address. You might tell him that I have suggested for you to get in touch with him. He knows quite a bit about the work [Mr. [417]], (Mr. […]), as his boy [758] spent more than a year with us at Virginia Beach.

Hoping this will enable you to locate Dr. Daley, and with kindest regards and best wishes, I am

Sincerely, EC:GD

R3. 11/40 Verbal report by Mr. [437]: “Mr. [2239] died about two years ago with heart trouble - not the condition he had at the time of reading.”
