This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 16th day of June, 1944, in accordance with request made by self - [3607], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis and Jeanette Fitch Stenos.]

Time of Reading 10:30 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern War Time. …, New York.

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: She ought to keep the time: [3607] In just about the same manner is being kept the time as have been the administrations of suggestions.

3. There should be much better following of the suggestions which have been made, if there would be obtained the results which may be expected. Putting it off and doing part of it, and not doing wholly as indicated, it will not bring the results promised. But if there will be the following of all suggestions as outlined, better conditions may be expected for the body.

4. Ready for questions.

5. (Q) Is the corset being used to support stomach, satisfactory? (A) Rather as has been indicated, while the corset is helpful, if there would be used just the binding with gauze, or any bandage cloth, about the body, it will be really more effective than this. But this is not bad in this direction.

6. (Q) What can I do to normalize weight? (A) Keep a better balance in the diet.

7. (Q) Are fresh or canned tomatoes harmful for me? (A) Canned tomatoes are better for the body than fresh tomatoes. For too oft these are not gathered fresh.

8. (Q) What is causing the pain in my stomach at times? (A) These come from an overabundance of those properties given. Colonic irrigations would relieve these tensions if given properly. Do use the soda and salt in solutions for making these.

9. (Q) Is there a growth in my stomach or intestines? (A) No. These come from these pains from gas through portions of the stomach and intestines.

10. (Q) Are cold drinks bad for colitis? (A) Any carbonated or strong drinks are bad for colitis.

11. (Q) What will cure a cold quickly? (A) Depends upon what has produced it. Keeping the body alkaline will prevent colds. Then to alkalize the system is the quickest way to cure the cold and then set up better eliminations. Most of colds are produced from acids. Acids may be better eliminated by the use of vegetable laxatives, and these the more often will relieve the cold quicker.

12. (Q) Why doesn’t spot on side clear up? (A) Don’t be impatient. Did it grow in a day? Don’t expect it to be eliminated in a day or a month. It took years to grow and it will require several months to disappear. But it will be eliminated if we will follow through. It is just as bad to overdo in taking the medicines as it is to underdo. Do as given.

13. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 6/26/44 [3607]‘s ltr. to EC:

Mr. Edgar Cayce Arctic Crescent Virginia Beach, Va.

Dear Mr. Cayce:

I have received the report of my Psychic Reading for June 16. I was very much surprised and I feel like a child that has received a spanking and doesn’t know what for!

I wrote you before my date that I would be in my own apartment and I would meet you in prayer from 10:30 to 11:30 A.M. Our Lady says I “didn’t keep the time”. I fulfilled my agreement to the minute and place. Perhaps I should have said I would be lying in the couch in the living room. Maybe I am so small She didn’t see me. Or did the lady enter the apartment next to mine? The old lady next to me often plays her radio and disturbs me, so I prayed that it would not happen at this time. The radio remained silent during the entire hour. God must have found me if the Lady didn’t. The old lady, by the way, goes out every day to a tavern and enjoys her strong drink. I never touch liquor or tobacco, could our Lady have found her and confused us?

I wish we might work out the solution of this mistake and of her critical attitude.

As I wrote you earlier in a report, I am following the diet suggestions as nearly as possible but neither lamb nor chicken can always be obtained in our markets or restaurants. As I HAVE to eat some kind of meat, I do the next best thing. Is there any other way out? She said to eat raw vegetables. I am not able to digest raw vegetables or fruit, but I thot if I TRIED perhaps She would help me. So I ate a nice crisp raw carrot. Result was I spent that night from 2.30 to 6 o’clock in the bathroom. I can’t afford to repeat that.

I took the medicine she ordered and enjoyed it, but did not have the prescription refilled because I expected in this reading to receive directions whether to continue or to change to something else. It wasn’t mentioned. Shall I continue?

Ans. to question 4 - “Colonic irrigations - use soda & salt solutions”. May I receive the directions?

Ans. to q. 5 - “Any carbonated or strong drinks are bad for colitis.” I was thinking of cold water and cold tea this summer. Evidently she doesn’t read my mind as I thought she did.

I had all the treatments recommended for my back and neck. My neck is lame yet but I don’t blame anyone for this condition. The chiropractor is now ill and away for a rest.

Was the Lady upset herself on June 16, and did she criticize every patient in her readings that day?

Mr. Cayce, you have worked a long time with these matters, and with this spirit, and I am sure have a remarkable understanding of them. Would it be too much to ask of you to write me your advice and explanation? I certainly would appreciate it, as I feel very much upset and puzzled.

Sincerely yours, [3607]

R2. 6/30/44 EC’s ltr. to [3607]:

…, N.Y.

Dear Miss [3607]:

I have yours of the 26th. I am very sorry that you feel as you do about the information. I don’t believe from my experience with such information through the years that this was indicated at all. It is, of course, possible that there might have been someone else referred to in saying that one was not keeping the period, and changed to find you. I thought the reading was very, very good, and I hope that you don’t take that rebuke as being made for you, for I don’t think that was intended for yourself.

As to the suggestions for the green vegetables you will note that it says it should be prepared with gelatine. I wouldn’t blame you for not attempting to try this from the experience that you had with the raw vegetable. But I do believe that you would find it quite different with gelatine prepared with it. Do not take too much of that, but I believe that by taking a smaller quantity of this you will get real results.

Then, so far as the meats, in this you will, of course, have to be governed by circumstances. I know that it isn’t at all times possible to get the very things that would be best, but if you follow consistently and prayerfully the suggestions as you are able I believe you will have results.

I should think it would be very well to have the prescription re-filled and to follow through with that. For the colonic irrigations I would use the soda and salt solution. This is not so weakening. Use one heaping teaspoonful of soda and one level teaspoonful of salt to one gallon of water. This makes a solution that is not irritating to the membranous lining of the colon. Not too hot, and not too cold; just body temperature. Carbonated water would not refer to cold water or tea. Either of these, I am sure, you can take without causing trouble.

I would take the course of treatments and then rest a period of say two weeks. Then take another course of the treatments. Let the system get the reaction of the things taken by not becoming dependent upon them entirely. This, I feel sure, will bring much better results.

I don’t believe that the information meant to be critical at all, but as consciousness came of that environ, the meaning was that the first one located was not keeping the appointment - not you.

Do let me hear from you from time to time as to how you get along. Know that we are most anxious to try to be of help in any possible way.

Thanking you and with every good wish, I am

Sincerely Edgar Cayce EC/wi
