This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 22nd day of June, 1928, in accordance with request made by self - Miss [283].

[Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. L. B. Cayce and Dr. Thomas B. House.]

Time of Reading … Street, 4:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Mass. (Check Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: We have the body here, this we have had before. Now, we find in a general manner there is not as much disturbance in the physical forces of the body as when we had same here before; yet conditions at present are not altogether as satisfactory as they have been, as there has been the reoccurrence of the swelling as has been indicated through the abdominal region, or from the condition as exists in the false pelvis, as well as that in the descending colon region. The application of those conditions as have been given for this, to relieve this pressure, to reduce the swelling, if applied when these conditions OCCUR would remove the trouble, [See 283-1, 283-2 for suggested massages and packs] as given. The manipulations for the correction and the proper stimulation of elimination would KEEP conditions nearer normal. Ready for questions.

2. (Q) Is there any cause for alarm about the sharp pains which come in the pelvic regions, especially on the right side toward the back? (A) Apply, when these occur, those preparations as were given for this condition. We will find relief in same. No cause for the trouble, would the conditions be kept cleared as has been outlined. Over anxiety, of course, would make it worse.

3. (Q) My digestive organs do not seem to be functioning properly. Will you give suggestions as to diet? (A) Diet has been outlined for the body. This naturally, as with all conditions in the human body of any individual, needs changing occasionally. Any one line diet is never good for ANY individual, unless suffering from a specific condition that needs one GENERAL line; even then THIS should be altered from time to time. In these conditions here, we would add (preferably) to those as have been given, that which will cause the proper digestive elements for the body, as would be seen from occasionally taking a few drops of lactated Pepsin, and again a charcoal tablet - these will be found effective,and will assist the digestion and assimilation, and especially preventing that pressure as caused in descending colon.

4. (Q) Do I need a nerve tonic? If so, what? (A) The activities of the system physical, of the mind mentally, is the best nerve tonic for THIS body.

5. (Q) In what condition are my tonsils now? (A) These show some improvement, as do the general conditions of the mouth, throat, and those conditions in the gum. These, as we find, are not cause of infection. Rather that of the prolapsus and of the condition as has existed in the false pelvis.

6. (Q) After fasting two weeks, with nothing but orange and tomato juice, my tongue is still coated, and eating simple foods still causes some indigestion. Are there any particular foods to avoid which nourish the growth? It seems smaller after fasting. What foods would be best? (A) Remove those CONDITIONS by the application of those properties as have been outlined, and by the manipulation necessary to cause the proper absorption of condition in system. We will find the growth (as is called) reducing, rather than that as is caused by poison in the system, and the AMOUNT as is seen that exists after fasting, as indicated, is that the condition is of the nature that may be removed by the absorption method, if there is the proper administration of conditions to cause, or produce, or bring about, those conditions in system where - through these may be accomplished. Hence, do as has been given for this, rather than that of the diet that weakens the vitality of the system; though the diet is necessary that there be not added too much of the acids for system that cause detrimental results from auto-intoxication that exists from that caused in the body.

7. (Q) The growth seems farther up and tighter. Also I feel a small lump between the ribs above the solar plexus. What is this? (A) The same condition as has been described, as of the pressure as is caused from the condition existent in the body, as has been outlined.

8. That is all the questions.

9. Follow those suggestions, then, as has been given, reducing these conditions with the application of those things that will cause the proper eliminations from the body, and we will find that the physical forces may be builded nearer to the normal forces for this body, [283] we are speaking of. We are through for the present.

R1. 4/15/30 Letter from [283]: ”…The writings by Edgar Cayce for me in July and November, 1927, were followed carefully with some very good results. The June, 1928 one did not seem to do me as much good…

R3. 11/26/60 Letter from [283]: ”…His [EC]‘s recommendation of using the ‘cathode ray’ was so in advance of the time (1928) that I could find no one here in Boston to find it and all I could get was some violet-ray treatment which did not help and I had to have a hysterectomy. Unfortunately, too, I did not realize that I could ask questions ABOUT the reading…and now I know one of my great troubles is synovitis…”

(Q) Is there any cause for alarm about the sharp pains which come in the pelvic regions, especially on the right side toward the back?
