This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 18th day of February, 1944, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [3451], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading At home, 10:45 to 10:55 A. M. Eastern War Time. Chicago, Illinois.

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3451], this we have had before.

3. As we find, there are improvements, yet some of the applications for the body have been rather strenuous. However, if these are taken advantage of now, they will prove most beneficial for the body.

4. We find that those treatments that have been indicated need to be kept up. Now we would put the osteopathic treatments only once a week, while the gentle massage with the oils should be kept every day or every other day at least, but gently.

5. The corrections osteopathically have been needed, and they have been given very well. Now, if the proper precautions are kept, we will see the advantage of these and the help that will be brought.

6. The massage should keep down the headaches, and now the whole general strength of the body should begin to return.

7. The conditions which have arisen in the general nerve system, the imaginative system from the operative measures, are gradually being corrected. It will be some time before the nerve cellular forces and glands are entirely rid of the effect of the anesthesia, but this will gradually come with the loosening of the ganglia and centers. These treatments have been very well done and these should even hasten this reaction.

8. Then, keep that indicated.

9. Ready for questions.

10. (Q) Is there any involvement of glands? (A) The glands, of course, are affected; but as just indicated, these have been opened for corrections.

About once a week we would take internally one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water before the morning meal; just once a week, on the same day each week.

11. (Q) Are vitamins helpful in my case? (A) If the diet is kept well balanced, we find that the vitamins obtained from food values will be better than supplementary vitamins at this time. For with the recuperative forces we do not wish the glands and the secretions to become dependent upon superficial activity, other than that which is normal - but rather that there be the normal secretions from the functioning of the organs of the body.

12. (Q) What are your diet recommendations for me? (A) All of the foods that are yellow in color should be taken more abundantly. Fish, fowl and lamb. Never any fried foods. Have three vegetables grown above the ground to one under the ground. But especially have all the foods of the yellow variety; as squash, carrots, peaches, even those that are canned - if home canned, or without preservatives or colorings - are preferable.

13. (Q) Would electrical treatments be helpful? (A) Not just in the present.

14. (Q) Is my condition arthritis? (A) Not necessarily. It is neuritic at the present time. But with keeping up these applications we should increase the eliminations somewhat, by the manipulations and irrigations when necessary, and thus eliminate these from the system.

15. (Q) Is the healing and correction inside abdominal cavity, due to operation last September 15th, progressing satisfactory? (A) As indicated, yes.

Do as outlined for better conditions for this body.

16. We are through with this reading.

R2. 6/2/64 [3451]‘s letter to HLC:

Mr. Hugh Lynn Cayce ARE Press Virginia Beach, Virginia

Dear Mr. Cayce:

I have just finished reading your find book Venture Inward for the first time and I want to thank you and tell you that it has meant a great deal to me. I am happy to know the work of investigation and publication of the Edgar Cayce records goes on.

In 1944, probably February, I had the good fortune to have a physical reading by Mr. Cayce. This was several months after an operation for tumors and hysterectomy, which left me in a very nervous state.

Besides Osteopathic adjustment to a certain vertebra, the Reading suggested massage, giving me the prescription for a mixture of six ingredients. There also were other suggestions. I followed all of the reading faithfully for many months and recovered completely from the jittery, nervous state I had been in.

I guarded my copy of the reading these many years during which time I moved around considerably, and I still had it in Mexico when I was preparing to move back to the States last October. While reading your book I wanted to go back and reread my Reading, and for the first time in all these years it is not where it has always been kept. However, I do have a copy of the massage oil, and three other suggestions.

During the past ten years I have had three serious health problems and for the past two years I have gone hither and yon seeking help for Arthritis of the Spine and Osteoporosis of the Hip. Since I believe in the power of prayer I have not given up although I walk with a cane and am very restricted in what I am able to do, and I can walk very little even with the cane. Like thousands of others I wish there might be someone with the great gift of Edgar Cayce.

Since reading your book, I wonder if any material has been printed from the readings dealing with Arthritis. I know the readings are very individual, but I would like to read anything at all on the subject that you have gathered. Years ago I had a considerable number of mimeographed copies on various subjects taken from the Readings. Do you still have these, and if so, could I please have a list of your publications?

I would like to inquire, if I may, is there today a clairvoyant that can gave physical readings along the same lines as did Edgar Cayce? If there is such a person, I would be very interested to have a reading.

I liked especially your references to prayer and prayer groups in your book, Mr. Cayce. It is so easy to take prayer lightly and get wrapped up in the material world, even the world of hospitals and medicines, and your book brings thought back to spiritual awareness. Thank you again for a fine book. I am grateful that my sister in Chattanooga brought it to my attention.

I would like to order book #2 on A Search For God, I have the first book.

Sincerely, [3451]

When I had the Reading, my name was […]
