This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 10th day of March, 1941, in accordance with request made by the father - Mr. […], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading Apt. 14-C, 10:45 to 11:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.

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: Seems to be a change in the address of the body in the present.

3. As we find, while there is apparently little change indicated as yet, much of those considerations being given will - if administered in the manner indicated - bring effective results.

4. While it is well to continue the transfusions as yet, we find that by the second series of the Atomidine - or the highest point reached in its reaction - these should not be necessary.

5. It will be better for the liver to be eaten and assimilated, to give activities for the body itself, rather than being administered wholly by the injections. For, this produces a different reaction. And, if there is to be helpful forces, there must be set up in the system itself an activity of the assimilating and distributing system.

6. The lymph reaction and the red forces of the blood supply will be aided much better through taking it in the manner indicated, to be active through the assimilating system, as we find.

7. In the matter of the Infra Red light, - this should be of sufficient strength to react upon the structural portions themselves.

8. We find that the X-Ray is a destructive force. While destructive forces are needed, they are NOT needed in the structural portion of the bone forces themselves.

9. Hence we would give the Infra Red sufficiently strong to produce that heat activity for the body. This may be tested best by the reaction to the respiration, as it is being administered. To overtax the system - that is, to cause the quick respiration - will be too severe.

10. Ready for questions.

11. (Q) Should Dr. Rosenthal continue with injections while following your suggested treatment? (A) This had best be determined by those who are making the other applications. For, at least twice each day the reactions are to be indicated; and this can best be determined by those, see?

They should find that there should be very soon - and in the next three to four days - a lessening of temperature, and the tendency or inclination towards preventing the loss of weight.

Of course, the attitudes of those about the body, and of the body itself, will have much to do with the reaction. Patience and persistence are the keynote.

12. (Q) Should X-Ray treatment be used? (A) As we have just indicated, the X-Ray becomes too severe - unless there is the continued depletion, and the needs - or the inclination for the X-Ray to be used more over the SPLEEN and not the rest of the body; this may be helpful.

13. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 3/10/41 EC’s letter to [2456]‘s father:

“The reading you wrote for on the 6th we could not get in until this morning - then received a few questions from Dr. Taylor - so please see that he has a copy of that given this morning. Know that if what he wishes to know hasn’t been covered in this, will be glad to try again. Do hope we may be the means of being of service. Am sure you and Mrs. […] realize there is much you can do in this case - that is in PRAYER - for all healing must come from God. Please don’t think me fanatic, only that each of us must put the stress where it belongs. Hoping to help…”

Dear Judge:

[2456]‘s father just phoned me the doctors were all there and asked him to get these questions out quick so you would have them in the morning. The doctors are co-operating fully - Dr. Rosenthal and Dr. Taylor are there right now. He was asleep when they were there at first so they are giving the treatments now. These are the questions. They were dictated over the phone so I hope we have them right: [See 2456-4.]

1. What was the effect on the body of Tuesday’s transfusion.
2. Is there any way to cause the spleen to go down or reduce it from its present size. 2 1/2. Should any more X-Ray treatment of the spleen be used?
3. Has Atomidine taken the proper action as was expected. What effect has it had on the body?
4. Shall we continue it in the same manner and means?
5. What is the effect of the oranges so far?
6. What causes fever to go up? What will aid us to bring it down. When will we see it go down for the first time. 6 1/2. Was the massage given heavy enough? How long should it be given? Is there any danger of deep hemorrhage in massaging the spine? How much peanut oil should be used in each treatment?
7. How can we disguise the liver so when he takes it he doesn’t know it.
8. Why does liver make him so ill? Is there any way to make it more palatable so he can eat it? Could it be given by hyperdermic?
9. Why is liver too hard to digest once it gets into the stomach?
10. Is the infra red light being given properly by Dr. Taylor as he is very desirous of being guided further. Is 35 to 40 minutes too long? 10 1/2. How often should the blood count be taken?
11. What else can the doctors do to aid the body to help it take hold of itself to bring about a recovery.
12. The attitude of the family and those about the body is one of prayerful hopeful attitude that a cure will come from these sources.
13. Is there any other suggestion that can be made all of us to further help [2456] get well.
14. What is meant by the first statement that the body seemed to change its address as he has not left the apartment at any time.

Is there any other advice that we can have now for the quick aid to the body.

Questions by [father] dictated over the telephone.

With love to all of you, Sincerely, [signed] Dave
