This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 5th day of October, 1942, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [2825], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by miss [1747].

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

Time of Reading 4:10 to 4:25 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Ohio.

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, [2825].

3. As we find, there are disturbances that prevent the better physical functioning of the body.

4. That the disturbances have not produced a greater unbalanced condition is unusual - owing to the nature of the disturbance and the portions of the body as we find affected.

5. The causes, as we find, arise primarily from pressures existent in the nervous system. These have arisen from outside pressures, or from accidents. The pressure is upon those areas of the upper cervical, or through the cervical, - 2nd and 3rd, 4th and 5th, - and in the coccyx area. While these in the present are not causing any disfigurement in the body, in their activity, they eventually will, as well as affecting the mental forces of the body, - unless corrective measures are taken.

6. And these should be done mechanically (that is, osteopathically); but not all be attempted at once. First gently relax the body with preferably wet heat, or oil heat, or oil packs with heat. This would be done especially in the area of the cervicals and in the lumbar and coccyx area. These are subluxations, and lesions vary - those in the cervical being of the lateral nature, and those in the coccyx and lumbar of the circular nature. Thus through the areas these press upon the nerves and produce tiredness; while those in the cervical area are of such a nature to produce fear - especially of being alone, or of the dark, or of heights, or of those things that become as fearful experiences for individuals.

7. These produce, of course, that in the system which causes an extra amount of acidity. Or the lack of proper circulation leaves excesses so the body finds its complexion mottled, pains in extremities and through the torso at times.

8. As we find, in making corrections (and we would have these done osteopathically), we would first relax the body with the application of oil packs, - before there is the attempt to make adjustments. Saturate heavy flannel or toweling with an equal mixture of Olive oil and Peanut Oil, heated, and apply to the areas indicated that need the relaxation. Do this each time before the adjustments are made osteopathically, see?

9. There should be the osteopathic treatments about twice a week, and some three to four of these should be given only to relax the body at first, see, - before there is the attempt to make adjustments.

10. After the first four treatments for relaxing the body, there should then be given ten or twelve such adjustments - in the first series, see?

11. Then have a rest period from these for at least three weeks; and then have another series of ten adjustments.

12. After the first series of treatments, it would be well to take a very low electrical vibration. The Radio-Active Appliance would be well for this body, but not until the first series of say ten or twelve adjustments have been made; this not including the first four for relaxation, see? Then take the Radio-Active for at least three weeks.

13. And we should find, with normal activity, with the normal expression of self, the body should be MUCH improved.

14. Ready for questions.

15. (Q) Is there any sinus trouble? (A) There is a reflex condition of this nature, as we find, but most of this will disappear when these adjustments and heat treatments are applied. When the oil packs are applied, of course apply the electric pad to keep same warm, so as to relax the body thoroughly before the adjustments are made.

16. (Q) What causes trouble with kidney and bladder? (A) Pressure on the nerves to same, and the general nervous reflex from the nerve pressures in body. These, too, will improve greatly.

Occasionally, about twice a week, take internally about two ounces of Watermelon Seed Tea. Prepare this by pouring four ounces of boiling water on a tablespoonful of watermelon seed that have been crushed, and allowing to steep as tea. Strain and drink this, about twice a week, throughout the whole period these treatments are being taken.

17. (Q) Have had to sit up in bed when I sleep - (A) (Interrupting) This is from the nerve forces, and should disappear very soon after the beginning, even, of these treatments.

Do those things indicated, and we will bring better influences and forces for this body.

18. We are through for the present.

Background

Background

B1. 9/17/42 Letter: “I am dizzy at times, nothing that I do to cause it, have bad headaches almost all the time, great fear of being alone. Not afraid of people but afraid to be alone after dark. Do not know what I am afraid of, but a terrible feeling comes over me and I am sick all over, a rapid heart at times and lately a great deal of trouble with my kidneys and bladder. Take cold very easy and have sinus trouble. So you see I can’t feel so well with all that the matter. I hope you will be able to help me.

“The trouble in my head may not be sinus. I was in an accident years ago and the doctors said I might have trouble years later. I have had to sit up in bed when I sleep for ten years; does not bother my breathing, causes headache.”
