This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 21st day of December, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [3467], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 11:10 to 11:20 A. 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: …, Pennsylvania - a new cycle.

3. Yes - we have the body here.

4. While conditions are very serious, so long as the attitude of trust in the divine is kept, rather than in others, there is help and hope for the body.

5. A good many complications exist. The tumorous condition that has existed has been dissipated in the greater part, but the effect of the treatments upon the segments of the cerebro-spinal system is quite evident - as also the effect the tumorous condition had upon the organs of the liver and kidneys; causing with this combination of the lesions formed - and the pressures upon the locomotories - disturbances through the locomotory forces of the body. Thus the inability of the body in its locomotories to control itself at all times.

6. The disturbance in the digestive forces has caused dilation or plethora in portions of the colon, especially the ascending and parts of the transverse:

7. The applications upon the spine for the dissipation of the internal disturbances have caused the character of irritation that set up an organism all its own. And this is in many ways hard to deal with, because of the inability to overcome the effect produced upon the emunctory circulation and that circulation as related to the creating of coagulative elements in the white blood supply and leukocytes. These, then, form into body building by not coagulating, the hormones of same being deteriorated by the disturbance in the circulation, or assimilation, as well as the very high vibration produced by the X-ray burns.

8. In making applications here, almost each condition is to be met in its own terminology or in its own classification of activity.

9. We would give very systematically and very gently a series of hydrotherapy treatments. For this body these should consist principally of colonic irrigations. Even three colonics during the first two weeks would be beneficial, if these are not attempted too much or too heavy at a time. Do not give these without using the solutions that would be complimentary to the secretions through alimentary canal. Have the water only body temperature, and use two heaping teaspoonsful of salt and one teaspoonful of baking soda thoroughly dissolved in the gallon of water. To the gallon of rinse water put two tablespoonsful of Glyco-Thymoline - as an antiseptic in the intestinal tract. Thus the colonics will not produce too great a strain on the body.

10. For the burns, prepare a lotion or salve from Plantain. Use only the top tender leaves, that may be secured even at this period in a climate that is not so cold as Pennsylvania is in the present. Cut these very fine, with scissors or the like, wash, and then to a cupful mix a cup of cream (as from the top of milk) and let come almost to a boil. Take off the fire and let cool. Apply this directly to the area disturbed along the back here.

11. Then apply over the abdomen the Glyco-Thymoline packs, especially over the right side of the colon and the caecum area.

12. In the matter of the diet, keep to those foods that are not too hard of digestion. Beware of nuts, raw vegetables, and those characters of foods. No bananas for this body, unless there were tree ripened bananas - these would be different.

13. Have often those foods that are partially digested, as malted milks - eggs and malted milk would be well for the body.

14. Have sea foods often, a little fowl, but no hog meat of any character, no beef at any time for this body.

15. Do these and then in July, we will give further instructions.

16. Ready for questions.

17. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 1/2/44 [3467]‘s ltr. to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce

We can’t find any Plantain plants around here they are all frozen, and cannot buy any in the drug stores, please advise me where to get them. You did not advise me what to do for the stiffness in my back. The spine is terribly stiff. Please tell me where to get this plant.

Sincerely, Mrs. [3467]

R2. 1/6/44 EC’s ltr. to [3467]:

Dear Mrs. [3467]:

Replying to yours of the 2nd, possibly you will be able to get someone in the South to get the Plantain for you.

I believe if you will write Mr. T. R. Wirsing, 1001 3rd St., S.W., Roanoke, Virginia, he may possibly be able to get it for you.

I think, Mrs. [3467] you are to begin with these things that were given you and as conditions develop that it will give you further information about the things that are disturbing.

Be sure to write Mr. Wirsing and then let me know what he is able to do for you.

Hoping that we may be the means of a help.

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce

Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Va.

Dear Sir:

I am enclosing my application and money order for associate membership in the Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc. My reading is scheduled for the 21st of this month. The following is a list of statements and questions requested by you:

Two years ago, September 6, 1941, I was operated on for a tumor of the spine. It was impossible to remove the tumor due to the fact that it would have paralyzed me from the waist down. I was informed that by taking x-ray treatments they would be able to shrink the tumor. After the operation they gave me x-ray treatments daily for two weeks and I was discharged from the hospital. Six weeks later I took a few more x-ray treatments. Since that time I have not taken the treatments because God has told me that the tumor is gone and I have never doubted his word. My back has been badly burned by these treatments and therefore I can’t stand any pressure against it. My vertebrates seem to have grown together so tight that every move I make hurts me. My spine seems tight, hard and shortened and every attempt to stoop pains me severely. My legs seem to bother me more than my back. They seem to be getting stiffer all the time. The leaders in my legs are so tight that I sometimes feel that I can’t walk. When walking I have to be supported by something to keep from losing my balance. The numbness of my legs seems to leave them cold all the time. My abdomen is swollen and has been even before the operation. I am anemic and probably this has something to do with the numb feeling in my legs. It seems as though the muscles have slipped from my waist making it very uncomfortable for me when I sit. It feels like I am sitting on bones. Is there any help for me?

This letter may sound a little confused to you. If there are any questions you would like to have answered before giving the reading, please call me at my home anytime and reverse the charges. My phone number is …, Pa., …

I will be at my home from 10:30 to 11:30 praying and thinking of my reading. I am very anxious to hear from you and am sure that you and God can help me.

Very truly yours, Mrs. [3467] Encl.
