This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Virginia, this 9th day of July, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Miss [3086], new Associate Member of the Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mrs. Hazel Crumpler”s review of the book, THERE IS A RIVER, in the Lyceum Class of the … Church, …, West Virginia.

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

Time of Reading 10:40 to 11:00 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, we have the body here.

3. As we find, there are specific conditions that are causing disturbances in the physical body. These are producing reactions that will gradually grow to be more and more troublesome, unless measures are taken to correct same.

4. The retentiveness of the mind indicates that the disturbance is from an accident, not that commonly called karma.

5. Thus, if the corrections are made properly, there should be a response in the physical, the mental and the spiritual body.

6. These are the conditions which disturb this body, as we find:

7. In times back there were those injuries to the coccyx area of the spinal cord. The position of this has allowed lesions to form in the coccyx and lumbar and sacral area. Also a wrench was indicated in the 8th and 9th dorsal area.

8. From this there came too great a supply of energy to the pancreas. In this respect, then, there came that which has become rather an aggravating condition in the activity of the pancreas.

9. Then this is not a true diabetic disturbance, but - as indicated - is from an accident which has caused the pancreas to produce the quantities of sugar in the body forces.

10. Thus the weakening of the kidneys and their activity, and the abundant supply and frequent activity of same in the body units.

11. Of course, the use of insulin - that has been taken in the body - is necessary at the present. But with the administration of the properties which we will indicate, and the other applications for correcting the cause, we find that the insulin may be gradually diminished.

12. For instance, after following these things we will suggest for a period of two or three weeks, skip a dose of the insulin; and then gradually decrease this. For, those properties we will suggest in the diet will assist the system to combat those activities of same, and thus act better with the greases that are active in the body - and gradually we will correct these conditions.

13. First we would give that there be begun the osteopathic adjustments. We would suggest one such as Smith in Youngstown to make the corrections. These will be found in the area of the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th dorsal, and in the coccyx area - more in the 2nd than in the 4th, or in the lower end of the coccyx. All of these will necessarily have to be made gradually, and relax the body preferably with Wet Heat before the adjustments are attempted. So treat the body for at least three to four times to each period of making the adjustments; relaxing the body.

14. In diabetic tendencies the diet has more to do with the reactions obtained than most any other application, but - as indicated - this is not TRUE diabetes.

15. So the osteopathic corrections AND the diet will assist the body to eliminate the habit-forming drug.

16. For, we would add in the diet the Jerusalem artichoke, which supplies insulin in its natural state in which it is CORRECTIVE forming, or in the order in which it may be properly assimilated.

17. Do take one Jerusalem artichoke almost every day, or at least five days out of every week. Cook this in its own juices, or in Patapar Paper. And when this is prepared, do eat the juice mixed with the bulk of the artichoke. This may be seasoned with a little salt or pepper, or butter - but not too much.

18. Do not take other fats than butterfat.

19. Refrain from fats, especially of any beef or hog meat of any kind. Not even breakfast bacon is very good, though this very crisp may be taken occasionally.

20. Do eat the yolk of the egg and not the white.

21. Have fish and fowl occasionally, fish preferably, most of the time as the meat.

22. Use leafy vegetables rather than those of the tuberous nature; though carrots and beets may be taken, but not with vinegar. The carrots may be eaten raw as well as cooked. Use the beet tops with the beets.

23. Do these, and keep in that same constructive attitude toward which the entity is naturally inclined. But be a little more spiritual-minded. TRUST in the spirit, not in self, nor in knowledge alone.

24. For, He is the way and the truth and the light. All healing comes from His power, as may be manifested in the earth through individual application to those phases of experience of individuals.

25. Thus, the osteopathic corrections should be made by one who is dependent upon, aware of, the knowledge of the divine power in human experience.

26. Keep this in mind - “As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.”

27. We are through for the present.

Two copies to Self (one for the osteopath you choose for carrying out that part of the treatment) Copy to Ass’n file

(Dr. Arthur Smith, 521 Dollar Bank Bldg., Youngstown, Ohio, has had considerable experience with following directions in Mr. Cayce’s readings, as well as many other osteopaths in various parts of the country - Dr. Smith is possibly the one closest to you. However, I notice from the American Osteopathic Assn. directory, there is an osteopath in Martin’s Ferry - Dr. Wm. W. Clark, Shelby - Shreve Bldg., 414 Hanover Street. Also I found seven osteopaths listed in Wheeling, West Virginia. Please let us have the name of the one you choose.

If Jerusalem artichoke is not on the market, it may be ordered for a few cents a pound from John A. Salzer Seed Co., LaCrosse, Wisconsin.)

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 7/13/43 [3086]‘s letter:

Dear Mr. Cayce:

I was so glad to receive a copy of my reading and was overjoyed upon reading that I was not a diabetic but the disturbance was caused by an accident. That alone has made me feel better.

It would be impossible for me to go to Youngstown to Mr. Smith, who you suggested, and our osteopath, Wm. Clark, has gone to the Army, so I went to Dr. Albert Graham, osteopath, whose offices are in the … Bank and Trust Building in …, W. Va. I gave him a copy of the reading, and I think he was a little taken back by it. I have known Dr. Albert Graham all my life and he is a wonderful Doctor. He said he was leaving tomorrow for two weeks vacation, but wants me to come in Monday, July 29th when he will be back. He said he would like to treat me twice a week for three or four weeks, and then for me to take a blood test to see if my sugar had gone down any. If it had, he knew it had helped, if not, he said he couldn’t do me any good.

Before I left the office, I feel he was quite interested in it, and was only too glad to have a copy of the reading. Deep within myself, I feel he will be surprised at the outcome of my blood test at the end of the four weeks, for I know it is going to be just the thing for me, Mr. Cayce.

You wouldn’t think I was appreciative of what you have done for me, for as yet I have been unable to get the review for you, but Mrs. Crumpler has been busy, so please have patience with me, and I assure you, I will have it before much more time goes by.

I again wish to thank you for all you have done and what all I believe can be done.

With the best wishes to you, Gertrude Cayce and Gladys Davis, I am

Sincerely, [3086]

P.S. Thank Gladys for the address for the artichoke, for I am unable to obtain it around here.

R2. 9/2/43 [3086]‘s letter:

Dear Mr. Cayce:

I haven’t written lately, as I was waiting to see how my treatments were re-acting, and I was so disappointed when Dr. Graham dismissed me last week, after I had a blood-sugar taken, which was 298. The fact I had only been taking treatments for three weeks, he should not have expected a big change immediately, but I guess he did. Needless to say I was discouraged, not by the reaction, but the fact he wouldn’t go further on with me. I called Mrs. Crumpler, my teacher, and she said she wasn’t satisfied from the first by me going to him. She wanted me to go to Dr. Rosenberg. He isn’t an osteopath, but a chiropractor. So, to make a long story short, I did. He is a young, sincere doctor, and from the first contact with him, I felt I had made the right move. He was interested in the reading and said he would take me and would follow the reading step by step and would also like to contact you. He took an ex-ray of my entire body and then I was to go back this evening, which I did and Mr. Cayce, everything you said in your reading is true according to the ex-rays. He thinks it uncanny and says you have to be a Doctor. He does not want me to have any high ideas for at least six months and says I’ll probably have to be treated for a year but I don’t feel that way, for if your instructions are followed closely, I know it will be sooner. Mrs. Crumpler is very interested in my case and goes over with me. Yes, she is getting that review together, but she is going over the book again, for it has been so long since she gave the review, she can’t remember all she said. I feel so good about the whole thing.

I haven’t been able to get any artichokes yet, as they are out of season, and the John A. Salzer Seed Co. of Wisconsin will not have any for awhile, but will send me some as soon as it comes in.

Dr. Rosenberg wants me to come for treatments three nights a week, so I feel at that rate, a change will take place before long.

I wish to thank you again for what you have done, and I’ll write you from time to time.

I have received several pieces of literature from the Association and have enjoyed it very much.

Dr. Rosenberg’s address is: Dr. K. A. Rosenberg, … Street, …, W. Va.

Background

Background

B1. 6/22/43 [3086]‘s letter: “I have had Diabetes for over 10 yrs. I could have gotten it either from heredity - for it is on my father’s side of the family - or could have been obtained from a fall, and I fell on skates the year I graduated - 1933 - and was knocked unconscious and shortly after that, I learned I had it. I take Insulin every day and am on a diet, altho I don’t stay on a strict diet. I have been having quite a bit of trouble with my legs paining all the time and my entire body is very sensitive. It hurts to even wash with a wash cloth. I also have a spot in my back where I always perspire. Cold or warm weather, my back is always wet. I don’t know if that is a weakness or not.

“This reads like an ailing letter, Mr. Cayce, but I really don’t complain, but I just wanted you to know all the facts.”
