to a Jew) This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 17th day of December, 1927, in accordance with request made by self - Mrs. [2720].

Time of Reading 7:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, California.

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 the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here - sleeping.

3. Now, as we find from the physical viewpoint, or from the pathological conditions, very little is shown in the physical forces of the body. While we have disturbing conditions at times, and these bring distraughtness to the body, rather are these those that are termed psychological, rather than biological, though some biological effects enter in.

4. In the physical forces we find as these conditions:

5. In the mental attitude, and in that in the effect of the nervous system, as is created by this attitude (not wholly of its own making either), these conditions appear:

6. One distraught in its actions; yet one very capable.

7. One who has almost a nervous breakdown at times. This then causing general nervous debilitation, and the aversion as the body finds towards sex relations - these bring this action in the mental forces until the body really is overwrought; then cold or congestion, or the inactivity of digestion, is as a natural result.

8. Were these conditions cleared up, would the body remove from its present surroundings, would the body bring about different physical conditions within itself as respecting sex relations - then we would find a different reaction, physical and mental.

9. To meet the needs of this condition from the physical sense, we would use as this: Not that any great pathological condition is to be changed, but there will be found - with the use of these - a different reaction to the body as respecting such relations, and as to the effect or susceptibility of the mental and physical forces of the body, and more active forces of the nerve system toward being able to meet the needs of conditions.

10. At least three to five times - that is, once each day for three to five days after menses period - the body should heat water to the boiling point, pour into a container over which the body may sit with ease, pouring about gallon and a half to two gallons of water, and to this add sweet gum (in the gum) fifteen grains, tincture of myrrh tablespoonful, and let the body - the pubis - be exposed to the fumes as arise from same. The irritation - as will be seen - will be decreased, and also there will be the more desire for sex relations and the effect as is produced in the body from same; for with this constant aversion (with the individuals as are about the entity), and with this constant drain on the nerve system, the mental forces suffer sympathetically.

11. Do that. Ready for questions.

12. (Q) Is my present condition due to merely physical causes? If so, what are they? (A) Rather from psychological than purely physical causes. The relations, the conditions, the unstable relations as exist between the mate and this body - be well if these were separated. Be well if they lived in different parts of the country.

13. (Q) Is there danger in my continuing in this state, or is this strange cessation of a natural feminine function due to psychic causes - either a manifestation of wrong doing and misuse or a special dispensation of Providence aiding me to overcome the forces of Maya? (A) These are as that condition builded in the body through those conditions as have been given for the body. In the application and study of self, these will be found to be more beneficial in the manner as given, than in ANY physical condition that may go about to change these. Let that be enacted for self as has been outlined in the physical and mental manner, and we will bring the better conditions; for MUCH may be accomplished. Hence much is required at the hands of this body.

14. We are through.

B2. 12/7/27 Letter from [2720] to EC: “Thank you for your letter and for the appointment. I would like to have the following questions asked: Is my present condition due to merely physical causes - and if so, what are they? Is there danger in my continuing in this state? Or is this strange cessation of a natural feminine function due to psychic causes - either a manifestation of wrong-doing and misuse or a special dispensation of Providence aiding me to overcome the forces of Maya? I would be glad to know anything you can find out for me concerning the cause and cure - or if a cure is unnecessary and if there is no future physical danger. I would be greatly content to sit back and let things as they are - Will this condition influence my relations to my husband?

“Thanking you for your efforts in my behalf, …”
