This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 30th day of December, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [3501], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 3:45 to 3:55 P. M. Eastern War Time. …, Florida.

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, [3501].

3. As we find, there are conditions that disturb the better physical functioning of the body.

4. These have to do with the effects of unbalanced conditions in the body-functionings and in the chemical forces of the body, also the poor eliminations - the effects upon the organs in their reaction.

5. Then, these are conditions as we find them with this body, [3501] we are speaking of:

6. The blood supply in itself indicates the character of the toxic forces, and a plethoric condition in the transverse colon; while the manner of circulation indicates the effect has upon the heart, kidneys and lungs at times.

7. The change in the environs, where there may be a great deal of the ultra-violet rays from the sun, is well for the body.

8. Yet the disturbances caused in the body-functions will require that the poisons be removed from the system, else we will have reactions in the muscular forces or a tendency toward congestion in the liver that will produce the effect either upon the gall bladder or upon the kidneys - producing sedimentary conditions.

9. Thus we would begin having first the hydrotherapy treatments, including about six high colonic irrigations - about ten days to two weeks apart.

10. Before each of the colonics we would have a three-day series of Castor Oil Packs over the liver and gall duct area. Apply these for an hour each day for three days in succession. Then take internally two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil. When this has acted thoroughly, then have the colonic irrigation. Wait then for about a week and have another series of the Packs, and so on.

11. Occasionally have the gentle Swedish massage, rather than attempting to correct or make adjustments in the cerebrospinal system. To be sure, the rotations in neck and shoulders would be well.

12. Do these and we will get rid of those tendencies towards rheumatic and neuritic reactions in body.

13. Keep quiet, not too active but oft in the sunshine and out of doors.

14. Not too heavy foods in the diet, but plenty of fruits, vegetables, citrus fruits and the like.

15. Do these and we will make for better conditions of the body.

16. Ready for questions.

17. We are through with this Reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 1/9/44 [3501]‘s letter to EC:

…, Florida

Association For Research and Enlightenment Virginia Beach, Virginia

Attention: Mr. Edgar Cayce

Gentlemen:

Thank you for the report of the Psychic Reading given by Mr. Cayce on the 30th. day of December in accordance with my request.

I want to assure you that Mr. Cayce’s suggestions will be followed out to the letter and I will be glad to advise you of the results obtained when the treatment is completed as outlined in the reading.

As I understand it, the packs are to be applied to, or rather, over the liver and gall duct area. This would seem to me to be that area high up in the abdomen on the right side [Front area instead of back area?]. If I am not correct in this, will you please advise me, as I am anxious to follow his instructions to the letter.

Thanking you for your kind consideration and further advices, and with my personal regards and those of my wife to Mr. and Mrs. Cayce, I am,

Sincerely yours, [3501]

Mr. Edgar Cayce, Virginia Beach, Va.

Dear Mr. Cayce

I have intended to write to you since I finished the treatments as outlined in your reading, but shortly afterwards we moved up to Kentucky & I have been on the go continuously since.

I do want you to know that the treatment you suggested must have been just what I needed, because it helped me greatly. In fact, since taking it I am now feeling better than I have felt in 20 years. I am grateful to you & my wife […] joins me in thanking you. Both of us appreciate your excellent service to me very much indeed.

I hope you & Mrs. Cayce are enjoying the best of health and happiness and this brings kindest regards and our wishes for your continued success.

Sincerely, [3501]
