This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 8th day of October, 1941, in accordance with request made by the self - Miss [2600], new Associate Member of the Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mrs. [2574].

[Edgar Cayce, Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Miss [2600] and Mrs. [2574].]

Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:20 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Virginia.

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. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: As we find, there are disturbing conditions which prevent the better normal functioning of the body.

3. These have been of long standing, and thus they have become - in the main - of a constitutional nature.

4. Yet, we find that these conditions may be materially aided; though it will require patience, persistence and prayerful activity of the body.

5. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [2600] we are speaking of, present in this room:

6. The blood supply in the main has become very good in the present; though, to be sure, from the suppression of activities and the lack of blood flow TO portions of the head and to the sensory system, there ARE excesses at times of eliminated conditions to be carried in the system.

7. The attempt of the body in the present from this bettered condition brings about a disturbance that aggravates the body at times. This is owing to the lesions that prevent the proper nerve energies to the flow of impulse for eyes, ears and head, from those areas where there is the activity of the nervous system with the cerebrospinal supply.

8. This overflow produces a spasmodic reaction in the form of irritation to the larynx and to the throat. This causes a cough that is irritating to the body at times.

9. The first conditions as brought about this continued effect on the activity of blood flow of impulse in reflexes to the brain have destroyed, in a manner, the activity of the auditory forces and the optic centers; by a congestion that has clogged the Eustachian tubes to where there is little impulse carried through same.

10. The pressures from the areas in the cervical and dorsal prevent the flow of impulse to the optic centers, from a lesion in the 2nd and 3rd cervical and in the 3rd and 2nd dorsal areas.

11. To be sure, vision as WELL as the activity of the hearing response are reflected from brain centers. But body-forces, body-health also have much to do with same, from the ganglia in the cerebrospinal system; as to whether there are responses to the emotions of which the activity of the sensory system is a part.

12. It is a physical condition, it is a psychological condition, it is a pathological condition.

13. These then, as we find, may be materially aided. Hence, we would give:

14. As an activity to centers which supply from the cerebrospinal area TO the nerves in the facial centers that supply to hearing and to vision, - we would use the low electrical vibrations from the Wet Cell Appliance carrying Gold; for THIS body in the proportions of two grains Chloride of Gold to each ounce of Distilled Water, and use at least six ounces of the solution. Change the Gold Solution every fifteen days. Change the re-charging solution for the Appliance every thirty days.

15. Make the application each day for thirty minutes, in this manner:

16. One day the copper plate would be attached to the right temple, and the nickel plate - through which the Gold Solution passes vibratorially - would be attached to the 2nd and 3rd cervical ganglia.

17. The next day attach the copper plate to the left temple, and the nickel plate carrying the Gold to the 2nd and 3rd DORSAL ganglia.

18. For the cough, for the activities to the GENERAL bodily forces, we would have at least three to five osteopathic corrections; these specifically in the dorsal and the cervical areas.

19. DO NOT attempt to treat the nerves of the face and neck in making these osteopathic adjustments.

20. Prepare an inhalant in this manner:

21. To 4 ounces of Pure Grain Alcohol, add - in the order named: (and in an 8 ounce bottle)

Oil of Eucalyptus…20 minims, Compound Tincture of Benzoin…15 minims, Rectified Oil of Turp…5 minims, Balsam of Tolu in Solution…20 minims.

Shake the solution together, inhale through the nostril and through the mouth, two or three times through each, and two or three times a day. This will aid in purifying, in clarifying the membranes in the nasal passages and in the throat.

22. Do these things in the present, - and after the use of the Appliance for a period of sixty days, we would give further instructions for corrections - as helpful measures are coming about.

23. Ready for questions.

24. (Q) Is it advisable to have the cataract removed from my right eye at this time? (A) Not as yet. Let’s change the activities of the body-forces so as to coordinate the circulation in the system better, before such is attempted.

25. (Q) What can be done for my insomnia? (A) The application of those things suggested will also aid the body in the nervous system to relax and overcome much of the insomnia.

26. (Q) For my recurring kidney trouble, and for the itching which troubles me? (A) All of these will be aided by the better setting up of circulation. Suggestions for these will come more when we have helped those circulations to the head, and especially to the auditory and to the optic forces.

27. (Q) Is there a physical reason for my periods of extreme tension and irritability? (A) The attempts of the nervous system to combat the continued CATARRHAL conditions that form the basis of the greater pressures upon the sensory system. There is a physical condition.

We will attempt here, through these means, to aid in helping these conditions.

Do these, as suggested.

28. We are through for the present.

(10/8/41 GD’s notes: See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for assembling the Wet Cell Appliance.

See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] for osteopath. We would refer you to: Dr. E. H. Shackleford, Methodist Bldg., Richmond, Va.

See extra sheet of directions [which was enclosed] to druggist for preparing the inhalant.

When you have followed all of these directions for a period of sixty days, let us know so that we may make an appointment for a Check Physical Reading to give further instructions. There is no charge for this particular Check Reading, since it is necessary as a part of the original treatment recommended.)

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 10/8/41 P.M. See 2600-2, a Mental-Spiritual Reading.

R2. 10/9/41 Extra copy of 2600-1 was made for Mrs. [2574].

R3. 10/17/41 Miss [2543] wrote: “Miss [2600] is very pleased with her reading.”

R4. 11/2/41 [2600]‘s letter to EC: “I have now had the fifth treatment from Dr. Shackleford, the osteopath to whom you sent me. You advised from three to five treatments, so I am wondering if I should discontinue them now. Dr. Shackleford thinks I need more, but I have been having extremely severe pains in my neck, so hesitate a little about going on. I have had a good deal of pain in my neck for years, and do not know if this pain is merely that somewhat increased by a slight cold, or if it has been intensified by the osteopathic treatment. Dr. Shackleford has been very careful, and I like him very much, and think he has benefited my insomnia, but the pain has been very bad for at least two nights. Another thing: He and I both wondered what the reading meant by saying, ‘Do not attempt to treat the nerves of the face and neck’ but also advised treatment of the vertebrae in the cervical since the cervical is, of course, the neck.

“I am also wondering a little if the electrical appliance which I have been using is put together correctly. Mr. Godfrey seemed to be a little uncertain about it and said that your son had been doing them but was now in the Army. A young man who is with me put it up very carefully according to Mr. Godfrey’s directions, but neither he nor I can feel the very slightest sensation when using the appliance, so we are both wondering if it is all right. I understand from Mr. Godfrey that there is no sensation, but even when tried on the tongue which is particularly sensitive, there is no feeling. The largest metal disc is so curved that only the edges of it touch the places where applied. Is this all that is necessary? I have been using the battery faithfully since receiving it and want to give your suggestions a careful following so would like to know if it is all right.

“Also please tell me about continuing further treatments from Dr. Shackleford. I think he has benefited my insomnia somewhat, as I have said, but am concerned about the pain in my neck.”

R5. 11/4/41 EC’s letter to Miss [2600]: “Thank you for yours of the 2nd. I also had a letter this morning from Miss [2543] of Jacksonville, Fla. To have letters from two of the loveliest people I have ever met in the same day recalls to me, I have quite a responsibility with whatever grace may have been given me by the heavenly Father.

“I think, from your letter, Miss [2600], [it] would take more treatments from the doctor. It will help you get rid of that cold. Yes, I think you will find your appliance all right if you had the charge, that is, the chemicals put together right. I am sure you will get the desired results. I would use that, the appliance just as given. I will be away two weeks starting next Sunday, but when I am home again I hope to be able to check up on you and see just how you are getting along.

“I would keep up all suggestions until about the 24th and if you will write me then we will make an appointment and check up, as I am to do for Miss [2543] tomorrow.”
