This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 3rd day of April, 1928, in accordance with request made by her husband - Mr. […] via Mr. Wm. R. Armstrong.

[Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. L. B. Cayce.]

Time of Reading 12:00 Noon - Eastern Standard Time. New York City.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the time, giving the cause of the existing conditions; also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.

3. Now, we find while there are conditions that bring distress to the physical forces of this body, these met with in the proper way and manner may be corrected to such an extent as to bring the near normal functioning of the body.

4. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [3887] we are speaking of. First:

5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find lacking in the proper rebuilding and in the vitims [vitamins], or vitality, necessary to store much energy, other than that for normal conditions as exist; that is, there is little reserve energy. Hence the body under stress or strain, physically or mentally, soon feels fagged or tired out. The elements of blood show that these conditions arise in the nerve self, and that the basis of this comes from the lumbar region.

6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, here we find an improper coordination in the cerebro-spinal, and also in the sympathetic, system. In the sympathetic, this we find super-sensitive, as it were, to conditions of the physical body, or the body takes on - sympathetically - much of that the physical attributes of the sensory system view or experience through the contacts as made. This not an abnormality, under existent conditions, but rather the outcome of the system attempting to adjust itself by that which is contacted, and shows that, were the proper corrections made and proper vibrations set up, the system would bring about near normal conditions for the body.

7. In the cerebro-spinal, this presents a different condition, for we find the organs are involved through the improper incentives as received by nerves being impinged, or where subligations prevent the proper reaction from those centers, thus bringing super action to some portions of system and lack of the vitality necessary, or vital impulse, to others. These radiating, as seen, from the pelvis, bring all character of nervous reaction for the organs of digestion and assimilation. As yet these have not produced even an abnormal condition in the functioning, yet bring at periods an abnormal functioning; that is, the organs themselves - that is, the liver, the kidneys, the pancreas, the spleen, the whole hepatic circulation - have not become so involved as to produce organic conditions, nor functional conditions in the organs, save at periods, which show these are nerve impulses rather than disturbance in the organ in its reaction.

8. IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, brain forces are good. The nerve reaction from brain shows quick and slow impulses, as does the effect as is created by conditions existent in the nerve system as coordinating with the organs of the sensory system.

9. Throat, bronchials, lungs and larnyx, show the effect of a high strung, or high nerve, sentiment of the system (yet not organically affected), as does the digestion and the heart’s action.

10. The liver and kidneys present somewhat of a different condition. While not organically disturbed, as given, yet - as given - at periods these ARE functionally disturbed. Hence we find effects of same inhibited in the organs, or the system, especially in mesenteric system. Hence that over activity or the lack of activity - both - occurring at different periods in functioning of the liver, as to the excretions from system, and as also the same exhibited in the kidneys and it’s attributes.

11. The functioning nominally of the organs of pelvis are disturbed by condition existent in the lumbar region.

12. Then, to meet the needs of the conditions at the present time, we would have applied as this:

13. Use the gentle massage every other day, osteopathically given, over the whole system, until at least six such treatments are given. On the seventh to the tenth treatments, adjustments of those vertebrae in the lumbar and sacral and coccyx region should be attended to; not all at once, but in their nominal way and manner.

14. When treatments are begun, begin with the use of the Radio Active Appliance, that the body may rest nominally. Take the time, the patience, the persistence, to use same for the body; for through correction of incentives from ganglia in the nerve system - and with the proper coordination of the vibratory forces OF the body set up through that of the Radio-Active forces - we will find near nominal forces brought to this body.

15. Twenty-seven to twenty-eight such treatments, osteopathically, should be given - including the gentle massage and the corrections.

16. For thirty to sixty, to ninety days, one hour each day, the application of the Radio-Active Forces should be combined with the elements of the system.

17. Do that. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 4/6/28 EC’s ltr. to husband:

Mr. […] New York City

My dear Mr. […]

As you know, the information gotten was sent directly to Mrs. [3887] as I felt it would be very well for her to study this over - even though you were not present. I’m in hopes that I did the right thing.

For your convenience, I am enclosing an envelope addressed to the man from whom you may be able to obtain the appliance suggested. I feel that you are aware that only in following the suggestions very closely, as they are given, will you be able to obtain the results desired.

As for the osteopath, I would suggest that you see

Dr. Dan Morrison, 103 Park Avenue.

He is acquainted with the work, and I believe will handle same properly, and without charging you an exhorbitant fee, as some of them do where they take advantage of a situation. You know I only wish it were possible for you to have Mrs. [3887] come to Virginia Beach and let our own physician take care of the case. I am sure you would find this would be well if you could arrange to do it.

Hoping you will let us hear from you, and assuring you of our desire to be of service, I am

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

Mr. Edgar Cayce Ass’n of Nat’l Investigators, Virginia Beach, Virginia

My Dear Mr. Cayce

I am back At Home, again, and on Arrival found your very kind ‘favors’, i.e. Report on My Wife’s Reading, as well as Your Kind letter to me, personnally.

Contents of ALL, carefully read and considered, and am now at my first opportunity sending you off Reply.

We have Found that Your “reading” is Very NEAR what we’ve been feeling and thinking, and that is I am sure, very comforting, to You as well as to us, as it being Your first of any Knowledge you have had of us, and coming so Close to our belief, it will please you to know it.

Now, I note that You recommend Osteopathy, and permit me to “advise” YOU that We have a Son practicing Osteopathy, and None Better, and I have had Him give Mrs. G., some treatments, and now that YOU advise that, we shall Go right after IT, and so will later Report to YOU the effects.

And as for the Radio Active Force Appliance, I wish to get from you further advice as to WHAT THIS IS, as I do NOT quite understand, and what the Addressed envelope to Mr. Brown at Dayton Ohio, What that is for. I was in Dayton last week.

So I must await your fuller instruction as to what these are, and what we must do to use same.

Your kind reference, to us, that it would be nice to Come down to SEE YOU, is surely very pleasant to consider, and IF Business was good, we would too, but I’ve NEVER had since WORK begun with me, SUCH POOR BUSINESS, and it does not in any way seem to be getting any better. I am very much distressed as I look about for business as I can not see Just HOW TO GO. It will not be possible to Come to Virginia Beach for a time, but WE WILL JUST AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Thank YOU for the suggestions. Now, after You read this and think of How I should proceed, I feel quite sure to set us right, you will feel that it is best to write us briefly again, so awaiting Your valued kind advises, I am, as ever

Sincerely and Cordially

R4. 4/18/28 EC’s ltr. to husband:

Mr. […] New York City

Dear Mr. […]:

Yours of the 16th received, and I am very glad to know that you found the reading satisfactory to yourself and Mrs. [3887]. I am sure, by following the suggestions given to the letter, you will get results. It is very fortunate that your son is an osteopath, and I am sure he will adhere strictly to the suggestions given.

As for the Radio-Active Appliance - I beg your pardon for not explaining this to you. It was an oversight, I assure you.

This appliance was first suggested in a reading about two years ago for Mr. Thos. B. Brown, 139 West 2nd Str., Dayton, Ohio, and the explanation was given as to how it should be constructed. Mr. brown undertook to make this for himself, as it could not be obtained anywhere - no such thing existed. He prepared it and used it, with wonderful results. Now he is preparing them for those who have the suggestion in their reading for the use of this machine. [See [1800] series.]

Ask him to prepare it for you and explain how it is to be used.

Thanking you for your letter, and hoping to hear soon that Mrs. [3887] is showing remarkable improvement under her treatment, I am, with very best wishes.

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

B1. 3/17/28 Husband’s letter: “I am most anxious to have you interest yourself in my wife’s condition and illness, as she has been for quite a long time, not at all herself, and we cannot see why, or what can be the trouble. She seems to be real well at times and at other times all tired out and worn out in her condition.”
