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

Time of Reading 3:55 to 4:05 P. M. Eastern War Time. …, Pennsylvania.

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, [3452].

3. As we find, conditions are rather serious with this body. Unless there can be aroused, through the spiritual attitudes about the body, the real desire in self to carry on in the present, it will continue to waste away.

4. The disturbances in the beginning arose from an accident; not anyone’s fault, but an accident. This brought an injury to the coccyx end of the spine. The pressures are in such a manner as to affect through the sympathetic nerves and the central nervous system the glands, especially in the lacteal ducts, and in the ducts through the other portion of the jejunum.

5. Also activities to the system were caused that cut off the Periods. Thus sympathetically we have a reaction to the organs - all of the organs of the pelvis.

6. Hence the sympathetic nerves through the imaginative or vegetative nerve system have been affected. So, the body becomes rather a hypochondriac, in that it accepts or rejects without any consideration as to whether it is reasonable or unreasonable.

7. Then the body is affected in regard to foods, so that food values have little effect upon the body.

8. Thus the respiratory system, the perspiratory system is almost stopped. There is never any activity of this, even with heat applied.

9. In the respiratory system there is little of a full or complete oxidization of the lungs, or the blood through the lungs, as a response to the activities.

10. The stomach itself is low acting, tending at times even to destroy in itself the insufficient hydrochlorics, and the little lactics in the upper portion. Even the salivary glands are found to be more acid than alkaline.

11. All of these tend to make for the deteriorating reactions through this body.

12. As we find, in making applications, the mental, the imaginative, the spiritual, the purposefulness must be appealed to. Little of this will be done by the physician now in charge. The nurse, the minister may help - if they don’t go doubting themselves. But with this desire on the part of the body, begin with gentle adjustments. We would have these done by Frew. These we would make in the sacral and lumbar, gently, and also between the shoulders, and the head and neck.

13. Later in two to three to four weeks, begin to apply wet heat across the sacral and the coccyx, and straighten the coccyx - from the pressures at the end of the same.

14. As to food values, give the body Beef Juice as medicine. Eggnog cooked with Spirits Frumenti, and a little milk added, will give strength to the body.

15. If there is aroused the desire for living, we will find responses as these applications are made. A little later the adding of gelatin - the pure Knox gelatin stirred in water and taken at once - would be well.

16. Also we would add later the KalDak as a tonic, as a stimulant.

17. And, if there is first the response of self, there may be brought back normalcy in eight to twelve months.

18. Do that.

19. Ready for questions.

20. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 12/11/43 Reverend Paul Wert’s letter: “I cannot tell you what a source of encouragement you have been to me and my people in […]. The […] family was in tears of joy when they received your reading for [3452]. I anticipate no conflicting elements in her case. We all stand ready to cooperate with your suggestions to the full.”

R2. 2/17/44 Reverend Paul Wert’s letter: “You will also find enclosed a personal check to cover the fee for a check reading for [3452], …, Pa. You will remember having given a reading for her last December 7th. We are thankful that she is still with us. Her condition seems slightly improved. She and the parents feel there ought to be a check reading to ascertain the correctness of the adjustments being made and the treatment given. They are asking these questions, if questions are permissible in check readings:

1. What can be done to give rest and sleep to [3452]?
2. Are we cooperating correctly in making adjustments and in administering the prescribed treatments?

There have been some serious days for [3452] and we feel there ought to be some reading to be sure that nothing which the family, the minister and the doctor are doing, which is causing these upheavals. I trust you shall be able to grant this request.”

Background

Background

B1. 11/12/43 Reverend Paul Wert’s letter: “This is a girl of 19 years of age. She has been ill for over two years and medical science of the highest nature has been resorted to. For a time it seemed that we had won the battle, but she has taken a turn for the worse and unless we can secure your immediate help there is a question as to her strength holding out. It is some systemic condition which disallows her to assimilate her food and she is slowly starving… She has been operated on, but the treatment evidently cannot defeat the disease… The family is deeply religious…”

B2. 11/26/43 Questions submitted:

What can be done immediately to improve her strength and appetite? Why has the girl lost her menstrual functioning since 1940? What cure shall be prescribed? What is the exact condition of her body? What is the cause of the disease?
