Time of Reading 3:45 to 4:05 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Penna.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2520].

3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions which have prevented the better physical functioning. These are somewhat a complication of disturbances, yet are contributory one to the other in some forms.

4. For, with a tendency for unbalanced conditions in the chemical forces of the body, there is an inclination for the formation of disturbance in these directions.

5. Then, these are conditions as we find them with this body, [2520] we are speaking of:

6. The blood supply indicates a form of anemia, from an effluvium or fuzz in the blood - as might be termed; produced from conditions wherein, with a disturbance in the inflammation to the white portion of the blood supply, there is a form of anemia; producing the form of congestion which at times attacks mucous membranes of the body. And this has been and is the basis for the specific disturbances through the pelvic organs, or the general condition of inflammation and catarrh, or a tendency for the formation of mucous that becomes as a STREP in the lymph - or adhering.

7. These indications we find not only in the pelvic organs but through those conditions about the liver, in the lungs, in the throat, and at times in the nasal passages.

8. Hence we find conditions where these have affected the body at times.

9. This is why there are the tendencies for the body to be easily subject to cold, to distress through the bronchi and larynx at times, and to the mucous membranes in same, as well as those conditions where the antrum and the passages about the nasal forces give distress.

10. These also in their activity produce greater disturbance in the present through the pelvic organs and the activity of same, because of changes that are being wrought in the functionings and the activities of the glandular system as related to periods, or the menstrual flow, and the activity upon the ovary and to the tubes themselves.

11. With that form of catarrh, there has not as yet been produced those conditions of tumorous natures; but there is the tendency to form clots. And the activity of these causes the distress to the ORGANS of the pelvis.

12. Hence the irregularity in periods, the overflow at times and the scarcity at others, and the discharge that continues at times - even between the periods, or when there is rather the tending toward acidity in the system.

13. At times, then, great distress is produced to the nervous system; irritations to the mental attitude, headaches, even at periods the tendencies for nausea, repressions through the abdominal area, aching through the small of the back and through the ovarian area.

14. In making for corrections, - first we would tend towards the diet that is kept constantly tending more towards the alkaline or alkalin-producing nature.

15. Thus, we would have quantities of citrus fruit juices, or citrus fruits, as a portion of the diet more than once a day.

16. There should be little or no white bread, nor quantities of pastries.

17. Have a great deal of such as liver, tripe, pigs’ knuckle, pigs’ feet and the like; a great deal of okra and its products, a great deal of any form of desserts carrying quantities of gelatin. Any of the gelatin products, though they may carry sugars at times, these are to be had oft in the diet.

18. There should be at least two or three series of the osteopathic RELAXING treatments; stimulating centers for better elimination.

19. At least once a week (though not during the periods, to be sure), there should be used the Violet Ray with the Vaginal Applicator. Use this for a minute and a half, at least once each week. Use this for at least five times. Then rest from it until the next month, you see; and take again.

20. Throughout the whole period of the treatments, save just at the period of menstruation, we would twice each week have vaginal douches with Atomidine as an antiseptic; the proportions being about twenty drops of Atomidine to the quart and a half of water - body temperature - but used immediately, as soon as prepared. Use only in the Fountain Syringe, with the vaginal applicator.

21. Once a week, and between these times of the Atomidine douches, we would use Glyco-Thymoline as a douche; a tablespoonful to a pint of water.

22. Do these, and be very careful not to expose self by getting body damp or by taking colds or producing congestion; and these will bring much bettered and improved conditions for this body.

23. Follow the diet, do have the corrections, keep better eliminations, be mindful to refrain from exposure and from getting feet damp or the body wet from rain or cold or the like.

24. Ready for questions.

25. (Q) Are the headaches connected with my menstrual period? (A) The headaches are connected, as has been indicated.

26. (Q) What causes the few white marks on the left side of my neck? (A) This is from the variation in the circulation. Massage the body, and especially the neck and upper portion of the body, as well as the lower limbs and across the hips, with Pure Peanut Oil - at least once a week.

27. (Q) What causes gas pains in my bowels? (A) These all come from the nerve disturbance; and with the change in the diet, with the better eliminations and relaxing, with the nerve tensions relieved, these should disappear.

28. (Q) Should I take something for my cold bloodedness - it seems I’m never warm enough after September passes. (A) With the increasing of the blood supply, by the character of the diets and the treatments indicated, these conditions should disappear.

Do as outlined, for these will meet those conditions as disturb the body in the present.

29. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 2/1/42 Mrs. [2520]‘s ltr. to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce:

I have been intending to write you for sometime to tell you how very much better I feel. The directions given in my Physical Reading have been followed explicitly and the diet has also been followed. I gave time for the new routine to work, and it has been three months since I received my reading and this month has been a revelation. I, really feel as though I were living. Before I was so tired out and the headaches would drag on me so that I wasn’t caring much. I have had these neckaches and headaches since my little girl was born. She is now almost twelve years old and you can see how wonderful to find the source of my ailment.

I don’t usually talk of self, but you’ll understand the necessity in doing so. Now for my dear hubby [2453]. He seems to be gaining slowly, but surely. Since last March, when he had the Reading, he has really made a remarkable gain in so far as being more confident and also in standing straighter. Before the reading he was drawn to the left side quite noticeably, but now he sits and stands straighter. His walking has improved, too. He is working hard to be strong enough for the trip this June to the Congress. We are holding the idea that he will be there.

I have had thoughts of all of you folks often and am looking forward to again seeing you this spring.

This winter, I am kept very busy with teaching, keeping house, raising my daughter, attending Pitt University on Saturdays, taking a First Aid course and working with a young girls’ club. Now do begin to understand why you haven’t heard from me sooner? It’s fun though and grand to be busy doing worthwhile things.

My husband and I send our love to you and yours. May this note find you and yours in the best of health and happiness.

Sincerely yours, [2520]

Mr. Edgar Cayce Va. Beach, Va.

B1. 9/27/41 Mrs. [2520]‘s ltr. to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce,

As you see by the enclosed blank, I am applying for a Physical (first) Reading at last. I will try to explain the discomfort I have as fully and briefly as possible.

I have an ache at the back of my neck and have had at intervals for the last ten years. I can always count on it either before, during or just after my Menstruation period. Recently, it has appeared just before and has been of longer duration and more severe. The pain is also felt in the forehead and around the right ear. At times a feeling of nausea comes over me. I feel certain it is not due to eye strain for just a month ago, I had my eyes re-checked. My Menstrual periods are not normal, either. For about two years, they have been irregular. Two years ago, I had trouble with a slight discharge of blood appearing a week before my regular period. I was examined and advised to take a “Curettage” treatment. This I did and for a year the condition was corrected, but for the last three periods, the same thing has occurred. During this last period the neckache and headache were much more severe. It lasted three days and relief was not felt until I had had as Osteopathic treatment and my normal Menstrual period started.

Along with this, I have had sharp pains which seem to be gas pains running through my bowels. These pains leave a feeling of pressure in my rectum for at least one or two hours. At these times, an enema was taken and there was no relief.

QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED AT THE READING

1. Are these faulty Menstrual periods due to a tumor?

2. Are these headaches connected with my menstrual period?

3. What can I do to correct this condition?

4. What causes these gas pains in my bowels?

5. Should I take something for my cold bloodedness - It seems I’m never warm enough after September passes.

6. There are a few white marks on the left side of my neck

• What causes them?

Sincerely,
