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

Time of Reading 10:55 to 11:35 A. M. Eastern War Time. …, Mass.

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, [3039].

3. As we find, there are disturbances which prevent the better normal functioning. While there are many portions of the body involved, with the correction of the sources of the disturbances we find that all of these should gradually respond.

4. These are the conditions, as we find:

5. In the blood supply there is indicated a lack of the proper balance in the lacteal fluids and the acids of the body. And this causes fermentation, - which has set up through the alimentary canal a great deal of disturbance.

6. We find that the liver, heart, kidneys and lungs all become drawn upon, as it were, for vital forces - because of this unbalancing.

7. This irritation, then, produces the unbalanced condition in the superficial and the deeper circulation, so that irritations occur in varied portions of the body at times.

8. Very seldom does the body feel really well, and yet not always ill - though rarely feeling good.

9. These, we find, are the sources and the reactions.

10. To be sure, those conditions with the gums, with the type of the headache, all are a part of the general disturbance.

11. But the condition in the gums has set up a disturbance in itself. And this, while dependent upon the general health of the body also, will require special attention - for the destruction of that activity which arises from the action of the conditions there.

12. In making application for betterment, then:

13. First we would begin taking internally one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water each morning before breakfast, for ten days. Then leave this off five days.

14. Then begin (not before) and take, every other day - of evenings, preferably at the evening meal, half a teaspoonful of Acigest in a glass of raw milk.

15. After the Acigest has been taken in this manner, every other day, - for at least three weeks, leave it off.

16. And then have (not before) a good, thorough hydrotherapy treatment - once each week for five weeks.

17. With the first hydrotherapy treatment, include a colonic irrigation; and also at the end of the five treatments in the series we would have another colonic irrigation.

18. Throughout the period be mindful that there is not too great a quantity of fats. The principal meats should be fish or fowl. Fish should be taken rather often, preferably the sea foods when these are taken.

19. Some fresh fruit and some raw vegetables should be taken each day.

20. Use whole grain cereals, and especially celery, lettuce and carrots - with radishes occasionally, though not too much of these.

21. Do these, and we should find bettered conditions for the general system.

22. For the pyorrhea, - use each day for at least ten days the compound known as Ipsab, as a massage. Massage this on with the finger, putting a little bit of the Ipsab on the finger and massaging the gums - inside and out, thoroughly. After the ten day period, then about once or twice a week should be sufficient; using THEN as the dentifrice IPANA, which is partially of the same prescription.

23. For the hemorrhoids, - the better corrective measures would be this exercise morning and evening:

24. Standing erect (in the bare feet), gradually raise the hands above the head, extended to the side, and at the same time gradually rising on the toes; then bend forward with the hands going toward the floor. Do this slowly, three times - morning and evening. Keep this up, and we will get rid of these disturbances - with the other treatments for the general condition.

25. As an injection, or as an allaying influence, prepare this:

26. To 2 ounces of Glycerine put 3 drops of Carbolic Acid, then add 2 ounces of Nujol. Shake these thoroughly together. Then, using a baby syringe, inject a little of this - not all of it, but just what would be necessary.

27. Ready for questions.

28. (Q) What should be done for varicose veins, especially in thighs? (A) These will be relieved by the general treatments that have been indicated for the intestinal system. This is an easing of the circulation because of the lack of vital energies there.

Where these become too severe, the application of Mullein Stupes will relieve tensions. Pour boiling water over the Mullein Leaves and allow to set for a few minutes. Then apply these direct to the areas, on gauze.

29. (Q) For arthritis? (A) Do the things as we have indicated.

30. (Q) Sinus trouble? (A) Do what has been given.

31. We are through with this reading.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 6/12/43 [3039]‘s wife’s letter to EC:

”…Thank you so much for your Reading of the 1st, which reached us yesterday. I am sending immediately for the products you mention, and am optimistic that by following this procedure my husband’s health will be improved.

“If you have any back numbers of your Bulletins which give a sample ‘Life reading’ or show what it is like, I would very much like to see one, to see if it is the sort of thing that would help my daughter (age 20) to ‘find herself’…”

R2. 10/15/43 Letter from Miss […]: ”…It so happens my friend [[3039]‘s wife] wrote me recently that she had had a Physical reading for her husband [3039]. She said he was definitely helped in every way in which he followed the reading…”

R3. 5/4/44 [3039]‘s letter to EC:

”…A year ago I had a reading from Mr. Cayce (ordered by my wife) because of difficulty I had with hemorrhoids, mainly. But before I was able to go through all the treatments, certain suggestions not being obtainable here (types of baths) became so much worse I had to have an operation (hemorrhoidectomy).

“Now, after four months, I am no better than before. Is there not some medicine, probably suppositories, recommended by Mr. Cayce, that I could obtain through you or elsewhere? I believe in Mr. Sugrue’s book there is mention of such suppository, and my wife asked about them when originally requesting a reading for me. However, she did not receive this information. Medicines given me by local doctors lose their effectiveness after a short time, but from information given in THERE IS A RIVER, I thought there might be something that I could obtain through you that would be better.

“I am very tense, which aggravates the condition, although trying hard to relax. I take hot water treatments which provide temporary relief only.

“Should you be able to sell me any medicine, or a pamphlet on this subject of hemorrhoids, or give suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it…”

R4. 5/8/44 GD’s note: EC wrote advising him to use the injection of oils as designated on 2/16/44 (and many times previously for others) in 1223-8.

R5. 9/7/54 [3039]‘s wife’s letter: ”…I would be glad to have a list of anything you may offer in the field of health compiled from readings given by the late Mr. Cayce…”

Background

Background

B1. 5/7/43 [3039]‘s wife submitted questions: ”…My husband suffers from the following disabilities and we would appreciate help in combating them. Some are of recent origin; others of longer standing: Hemorrhoids. (We understand that you prescribe something for them.) M.D. says he can do nothing more - had them injected several times; varicose veins, especially in thighs, which trouble him much at times; formerly had gastric ulcers, but these seem to have cleared up. However, when tired or nervous he gets a feeling of ‘tightness’ in stomach. He has arthritis, at times quite badly, which travels in his body, afflicting first one spot, then another. Perhaps his chief trouble. Pyorrhea. What we think is sinus trouble. Will sleeping with open window in this climate, or on sleeping porch, aggravate this condition? What, if anything, will alleviate it? His eyesight and hearing are both becoming much duller (approaching age, I suppose). Lately he has had to get up frequently in the night to go to bathroom, sometimes three or four times per night - prostate trouble? Is an operation indicated for such a condition? It disturbs his rest considerably. Thank you for any help you may be able to give…”
