This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 18th day of October, 1926, in accordance with request made by self - Mr. [244].

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

Time of Reading 4:35 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Ky.

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the further relief and improvement of same.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had before.

3. Now, we find there are many changes in the body since we have had this - many for good. Many of the organs and the conditions show the changes as come about by the natural, or SO CALLED natural conditions in changes as the body succumbs to the effects of age or usage in the system. Much of this may be overcome. (Man should live much longer than has been ordinarily given - and will!)

4. In the conditions to be met at the present time, we still find there are those effects of adhesions and lesions through the digestive system, or intestinal tract, and by those conditions portions of the system that should be the rebuilding force become detrimental conditions requiring to receive rebuilding force. Hence we have times when the system and whole body feels as if it were a drag to even react - headaches, constipation, lack of appetite, desire to be alone, melancholia, sleeplessness - all of these are the effects of lack of the resistive force, and poisons or accumulations in system by poor elimination.

5. To meet these conditions at the present time, there should be given the general manipulation of the osteopathic forces for the enlivement of those glands of reconstruction, as it were, in the system - that is, especially through the lumbar and sacral, through the upper dorsal and cervical. These will relax the system in such a way and manner as to draw on the system to that ability to rebuild the resistive forces in system.

6. Taking, during this time, those properties as are found in alkaline Petrolagar - a tablespoonful once each day, with ten (10) drops of Pepsin after each meal. Beware of meats! Fish or fowl may be eaten when well prepared, see? Whole wheat bread. No white bread should be taken by this body.

7. The propositions as come to the system through the reaction from these conditions will be necessary to change medicinal properties in three to six (3 to 6) weeks, see? but take these at the present.

8. At least every second day the manipulations should be given, until the body responds to the medicinal properties, the eliminations set up, and the body shows eliminations are such that the rebuilding properties are being stored in system.

9. Well that enemas, rather than purgatives, be taken, for we will find the relaxing and responding of the system to these properties combine.

10. Do that.

11. We are through for the present.
