This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 7th day of June, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Miss [3032], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by the book, THERE IS A RIVER.

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

Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:15 A. M. Eastern War Time. New York City.

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, [3032].

3. As we find, there are conditions that become rather aggravating to the body at times. These, we find, are from an unbalancing of the eliminations through their proper channels, produced by thinning of the walls in the intestinal system.

4. Thus the activities of the lymph and emunctory circulations through these portions carry that humor into the lymph circulation, which causes that irritation to the skin called psoriasis.

5. We find that this may be materially aided. As it has become a constitutional disturbance, this will require time, until there is the toning up or the setting of the activity of the system in such a manner as to allay the conditions produced, and correct the SOURCES of these disturbances through the body.

6. The colon also, we find, is tending toward an engorgement or plethora; thus forming portions in same where prolapsus and the lack of proper eliminations through these channels are gradually becoming more and more a part of the disorder.

7. As we find, we would first begin with a specific form of hydrotherapy. So far as the colon is concerned, this should be corrected in a little while.

8. Have these hydrotherapy treatments eighteen days apart. First there should be the colonic irrigation. Be careful in giving the first colonics that there is used the solutions to prevent weakening the body; that is, not just plain water, but in the first two waters, especially, put a level teaspoonful of table salt and half a teaspoonful of baking soda to each half gallon of water to be injected - and have the water near body temperature. In the last rinse water, put a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline as the intestinal antiseptic.

9. Following the colonic there should be given, preferably, the hot and cold showers, or needle showers.

10. Then have a thorough rubdown.

11. Have at least two of these hydrotherapy treatments, given in this specific manner, see?

12. Then, after the second one - not before - we would begin taking each day a cup of Saffron Tea (American Saffron). This would be made fresh daily. Put just a pinch of the Saffron, between the thumb and forefinger, in a cup and pour boiling water over same. Let it steep for twenty to thirty minutes. Strain, and drink the whole quantity.

13. Also at the same time begin taking, following the heavier meal of the day, half a teaspoonful of Milk of Bismuth stirred in a glass of water, with ten drops of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin in same.

14. After a period of some twenty days of taking the Bismuth in this manner, it may be necessary to have another colonic irrigation.

15. Keep up the Saffron, after that, for at least a period of three to four months; not quite so often then, but about three times a week, the Milk of Bismuth and the Pepsin.

16. At the end of three months, begin using the Violet Ray - hand machine, bulb applicator - about a minute each evening when ready to retire. Give this to self, preferably, and do this for some two to three weeks. This should be applied along the whole length of the spine - come away from the head to the center of the spine, and then go from the end of the spine - or preferably from the soles of the feet - up to the 9th dorsal; downward to and up to the 9th dorsal, see, but not more than a minute at the time.

17. Then start at the beginning and repeat all of these things suggested, throughout.

18. After the first twenty to thirty days there should be found some relief, but keep up the rest of these - if the sources and the effects are to be eliminated from the body.

19. As to other general conditions through the body, most all of these will be aided by the applications. For the general system will be built up.

20. Do these, and we will make better conditions for the body.

21. In the matter of diet, - beware of too much fats or greases at any time. Do include a great deal of seafoods of every character in the diet.

22. Have plenty of the leafy rather than pod or tuberous vegetables.

23. Eat plenty of fruit, whole grain cereals.

24. And do take the artichoke - both kinds - once or twice each week.

25. Ready for questions.

26. [EC repeated] Ready for questions.

27. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 6/7/43 P.M. See 3032-2, her Life reading.

R2. 6/20/43 [3032]‘s letter to EC:

“The readings received and I am so very pleased and grateful.

“I went to see Dr. Reilly and liked him immensely. He said he has had such success with your readings, and spoke of you so highly. I shall follow the reading closely, and write you the results. I am so thrilled at the prospect of having clear healthy skin and already I feel less fatigued and considerably more ease of body. It’s wonderful!

“As for the Life reading - of course it’s tremendously interesting to me and a great source of inspiration. In studying it, I have gained direction and polarization of which I was badly in need. It has confirmed my inner urges which I have had and let pass as wishful thinking. I feel it will help me in the future to differentiate between the two, and also will help immeasurably toward a more useful and constructive life.

“There are times when words fall so short of one’s feelings

• and in wanting to thank you, Mr. Cayce, I find this is one of those times…”

B1. 3/30/43 [3032]‘s letter to EC:

“As I read the review of THERE IS A RIVER in the Sunday Times, I felt immediately with more joy than I can express that the answer to my problem of years’ standing was solved, if you would be so kind as to treat my case. I have since read the book and feel only more firmly convinced…

“These unsightly red blotches practically cover my arms and legs, and part of the abdomen and have been a great source of discomfort and embarrassment. Recently it has spread to my hands.

“For some time I have felt that psoriasis is, in some way, connected with the mind, and perhaps a karmic result. Being a person who has had numerous complexes and mental problems, much of which I have been able to overcome through study in metaphysics, I still feel I am not wholly adjusted at this point and that perhaps a Life reading would be a great advantage toward a more complete mental adjustment and spiritual growth which I have come to believe is of prime importance.

“On the assumption that you will accept my case, would it be possible to have both a Physical and a Life reading? While I would like very much to come to Virginia Beach, I have a position which makes it difficult to leave unless absolutely necessary…

”…My ailment is psoriasis, a skin disease which I have had for the most part of 22 years, since I was 13. Needless to say, I have gone to numerous doctors and skin specialists, but no cure for it is known to the medical world…”
