This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 7th day of January, 1942, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [352], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., through her sister, Mrs. [349].

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

Time of Reading … St., 11:05 to 11:15 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Penna.

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.

3. As we find, there are changes in the physical forces of the body. Not all are for betterments. As we find, there is an excess of poisons being drained in the system, and retained.

4. In the present, we would have one or two series - of say, five or six - of thorough hydrotherapy treatments. These taken and then rest a period of two weeks from same, then take again, then rest another two weeks and then again. These should bring about the corrections in the activities of the eliminations, and for the stoppage of glandular reactions, and for reducing the excesses through the body.

5. During the time the hydrotherapy treatments are being taken (and we would take these weekly), we would take Atomidine internally - but only during the time the hydrotherapy treatments are taken - do not take this UNLESS the hydrotherapy is taken. Take one drop of Atomidine of mornings before any meal is taken.

6. Then be mindful also of the diet. Not too much of fats or greases of any nature. No fried foods at any time. Little or no butter or of those properties that are cooked or prepared with quantities of butter.

7. These as we find, if they are consistently done, and there is the adherence to those suggestions in the diet, should bring bettered conditions for the body.

8. Ready for questions.

9. (Q) Is thyroid sluggish and how can body become normalized? (A) Thyroid is sluggish, and thus those activities as needed for drainages - by the excess of iodine, through the stimulation of Atomidine.

10. (Q) Why no menstrual period for about a year? (A) This is a block owing to the lack of drainages and thus the excesses of poisons that should be eliminated through alimentary canal, as well as the general circulation.

The hydrotherapy, then, should include a thorough colonic irrigation at least twice a month.

11. (Q) How can nasal drip be cured, causing sore throat due to accumulation of phlegm in throat? (A) This will be cured by stimulating the proper relations in the circulation by the massage and the hydrotherapy rubs as come with such treatments.

12. (Q) Will these treatments overcome constipation? (A) If there will be the adherence to the diet suggestions AND the colonic irrigations to set up proper relationships to the activity of the peristaltic movements through the alimentary canal.

13. (Q) Is body in fit condition to have a baby? (A) Not in the present.

14. (Q) What has caused sudden overweight and what should my normal weight be? (A) As indicated, this comes from stoppages and the excesses of fat producing forces, by the characters of the diet. Thus the changes as should be indicated.

15. (Q) What causes sudden tiredness and nervousness? (A) This is a general condition from the excess of toxic forces, or the poisonings.

Do these things as indicated, if we would bring the better conditions for this body.

16. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 1/19/42 Sister [349]‘s letter: “Your reading [352-3] certainly hit the nail on the head.”

R2. 1/2/46 Letter form [349]: ”…Do you know where Dr. Backman is? For three years [352] and her husband have tried to have children and have gone to so many specialists. It has cost them much time and money and I understand it has something to do with her glands. She has an underactive thyroid and it seems, too, that her glands don’t function properly. They are so anxious to have a baby and have gone through so much. Dr. Backman helped me and I thought perhaps he could help her. I remember Mr. Cayce writing me once that he helped a couple who had tried for eight years. I wouldn’t bother you with this now, Gladys, but they would give anything to be helped, and it would mean so much to them. Could you help them in any way? Perhaps you could send her somewhere, or suggest something to her. She would be most grateful and so would I, as [352] and her husband would like a baby above all things…”

R3. 1/5/46 GD referred her to three osteopaths and one chiropractor in case she was unable to locate Dr. Backman.

R4. 1/28/46 Letter from [352]‘s sister [349]: ”…I was able to get Dr. Backman finally. He lives at … Wednesday night he is coming to my mother’s to start treatments on [352]. He feels sure he can help her. I wanted to be sure to get in touch with him first as he helped me through Mr. Cayce’s readings. Will let you know and we’re hoping and praying for the best…”

R5. 3/15/51 Letter from [352]: ”…A few years ago I wrote you at the suggestion of my sister [349], requesting the name of a good chiropractor to go to here in N.Y., and you recommended Dr. Shapiro. My difficulty at the time was poor circulation and sluggishness, which no doubt all contributed to the fact that I couldn’t have a baby.

“You wrote me at the time that Dr. Shapiro had an excellent reputation in achieving amazing results and you asked me to let you know how I make out. Well, I am most happy to advise you that after going to him for four years regularly (I was probably in a very bad way), I now find I’m going to have a baby. I know that without the treatments, this would have been impossible, as during the years I went to him, gradually my system worked better and better; a result that the medical doctors I went to were unable to accomplish.

“I cannot tell you how grateful I am that Dr. Shapiro was able to accomplish the almost impossible, and I feel that you should have this information for your records and for the help of anyone else who is in the same position…”

R6. 12/7/51 Sister [349] wrote that Mrs. [352] had a baby boy born 5/27/51.

R7. 12/23/68 Sister [349] wrote that Mrs. [352] “died suddenly last Jan. 29th.”
