This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 15th day of June, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [3050], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., through her son-in-law, Mr. [2341].

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

Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern War 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 - where the [1100]‘s lived.

3. Yes, we have the body here, [3050].

4. Now, as we find, there are disturbing conditions which prevent the better physical functioning through this body. The apparent conditions in the present are not so serious as when this information was first sought, yet the results of what is taking place in the body are more undermining.

5. These have to do with the purification, or oxidization, of the blood supply, and the effect the toxic forces that remain in the body are having upon the activity of lungs, heart, liver and kidneys - or the central circulation.

6. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [3050] we are speaking of:

7. The blood supply indicates the lack of proper oxidization. Hence it tends to leave a sediment, or a superacidity in the blood stream. This we find in the effect upon the organs quickens the pulse; not a great deal, but to an extent as to cause weariness, tiredness, weakness through the body; when combined with the torpidity that is produced in the liver activity.

8. This in turn affects the activity of the kidneys, to produce a greater amount of poisons being eliminated through these organs.

9. Thus irritations in the area of bladder at times, as well as a tendency for impactions; though not a great deal as yet of plethora produced in the colon, but tendencies for same, with a great deal of formations of gas there, that at times are discomforting to the body. Also there is produced a heaviness across the area of the back, above the kidneys; bad taste in the mouth, lack of the oxidization, not complete conditions - or open - in the lungs, though the inflammation that has first existed was through the pleura, not in the lung itself. This has made an adherence, and thus causes a pulling at times in the central portion, or opposite the sternum, or the lower breast bone.

10. These are conditions as we find with this body, [3050].

11. In making applications for relief, or to rid the conditions from the system:

12. First we would begin with a series of cleansing properties, prepared in this manner. Prepare at least six (6) capsules, with this amount in each capsule:

Podophyllin…1/4 grain, Leptandrin…1 grain, Sanguinaria…1 grain.

These would be taken one each evening, until all six are taken.

13. During this period take little besides liquids or semi-liquids in the diet. And do drink at least six to eight glasses of water each day.

14. After these properties have reacted upon the system, begin with hydrotherapy treatments. When giving the first two or three, watch the pulsations - or the heart’s activity. Each treatment should include a mild Cabinet Sweat, first beginning with dry heat. Then add to this the Fumes from Witchhazel, by using a teaspoonful of Witchhazel in the open boiler or croup cup of boiling water in the Cabinet, inside the cabinet with the lights, you see, though the lights would be turned off after the water begins to boil - and after the body has been slightly heated from sitting in the Cabinet. Use a teaspoonful of the Witchhazel to four ounces of water. These should be taken every week until ten or twelve are taken.

15. Follow each Fume Bath with a hot and then cold shower. Sitz baths would also be well for the body. This will aid in alleviating the tendencies in the rectal area for those disturbances there, as well as through the lower lumbar area.

16. These should be followed by a thorough rubdown with a combination of three parts Olive Oil and one part Oil of Pine Needles, thoroughly mixed. Massage this thoroughly into the spine, especially across the area of the diaphragm and the liver, close over the spleen and the abdominal area.

17. Do these.

18. These done, and then keeping good exercise, keeping good eliminations, we should find a great deal of betterment for this body.

19. As to the diet, - after the period of the cleansing of the alimentary canal, and making for the activity of the liver, the spleen, the kidneys, as to their general activity, - there should not be a great deal of meat. Never any hog meat, except occasionally a little crisp bacon may be taken. Fish, fowl and lamb should be the meats, and these not every day - and never fried.

20. Leafy vegetables are preferable to the tuberous or bulbous nature. A raw salad should be one meal each day, or at least part of same. Include raw carrots, lettuce, celery, water cress, and especially beet tops. These may all be taken raw, if properly prepared. For this particular body, these would be better in bulk than just taking the juices of same; though for some bodies the juices would be better.

21. As for breads, - only corn bread, using the yellow meal, with egg, and whole wheat bread. These are preferable.

22. Do these.

23. Ready for questions.

24. (Q) Why can’t I sleep? (A) As indicated, the disturbance in the central circulation as it arouses the activity of incoordination with superficial, and thus produces this tendency for nerve insomnia.

Do these and we will find much betterment for the body.

25. We are through for the present.
