This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 21st day of August, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [3168], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mr. [3189].

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. (Notes read to and transcribed by Jeanette Fitch.)]

Time of Reading 3:30 to 3:45 P. M. Eastern War Time. …, Nebraska.

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, [3168].

3. As we find, there are disturbing conditions. The acute disturbance has to do with the circulation to the eyes, ears and face, or - more specifically - hindrances in eliminations that are allowing accumulations to form in cataracts over the eyes.

4. This disturbance in the main has arisen from the effects of toxic conditions in the body, but are directed specifically to the eyes because of pressures in the dorsal and cervical centers that hinder the coordinating flow of lymph and the cerebrospinal circulation in eliminating channels.

5. While certain measures that have been taken will aid to relieve this flow of poisons accumulated in the face and head, we find that these will not get at the source of the trouble.

6. We would use the mechano-therapy or mechanical adjustments (that is, osteopathic adjustments) to set up drainages better from the organs of the sensory system; 3rd and 4th dorsal, 1st dorsal, 3rd cervical and throughout the 1st and 2nd, the sympathetic connections at the base of the brain.

7. These would materially aid, and there might be such drainages established as to break up or eliminate the formation of the cataracts; provided alkaline poultices or packs are applied back of the neck and over the eyes for twenty or thirty minutes each day. Use four to five thicknesses of cotton cloth well saturated with the Glyco-Thymoline. Put these on at normal temperature, not heating the Glyco-Thymoline.

8. These packs will aid, with the manipulation osteopathically - which should be given at least twice or three times each week, in eliminating the disturbance.

9. Begin first by setting up better eliminations through alimentary canal. Use Eno Salts, small quantities, five days out of each week, to keep the eliminations set up. Take just a teaspoonful in the morning before the meal is taken.

10. Do these, if we would make for better conditions with the body.

11. Also add quantities of vitamin C. For this body, take this in citrus fruit juices. Eat at least six oranges each day. Just the juice or the fruit or pulp may be taken, however it is more desirable for the body.

12. Do these regularly, and we may make better conditions.

13. Ready for questions.

14. (Q) Will the cataracts be lessened since the teeth have been pulled? (A) They will be lessened but will not be eliminated unless the sources or causes of these are removed, as indicated.

15. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 8/21/43 Brief by Phyllis Goodall, R.N.:

Physical History and Medical Findings - No Physical history given, either of childhood or adult life. An excerpt from a letter states: “He is now, after a succession of misfortunes, threatened with blindness.”

Summary of READING as to Disturbance and Treatment - Pressures in the dorsal and cervical centers of the spine have hindered the coordination of the lymph flow and the cerebrospinal circulation resulting in faulty eliminations of the drosses of the body. This condition directs trouble to the eyes by allowing accumulations to form in cataracts over the vision. The whole disturbance is a toxic one with, as has been said, the flow of poisons accumulating in the face and head. Certain of the measures that have already been taken will aid in relieving the flow of poisons to this part, we find that these will not get at the source of the trouble.

TREATMENT: Osteopathic adjustments to set up drainages better from the organs of the sensory system; 3rd and 4th dorsal, 1st dorsal, 3rd cervical and throughout the 1st and 2nd - the sympathetic connections at the base of the brain. These will aid materially - and it may be that such drainage could be established as to break up the formation of the cataracts provided that alkaline poultices or packs are applied back of the neck and over the eyes for twenty or thirty minutes each day. Use four to five thicknesses of cotton cloth well saturated with Glyco-Thymoline. Put these on at normal temperature - not heating the Glyco-Thymoline.

These packs given daily - together with the osteopathic adjustments which should be given at least 2 or 3 times weekly, will aid in eliminating the disturbance.

Set up better eliminations through the alimentary canal by taking: Eno Salts - one level teaspoonful in a glass of water before breakfast.

Add quantities of Vitamin C to the diet. Eat at least 6 oranges each day. Do all these things regularly and better conditions will be made for this body.
