This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at Room 952, Tutwiler Hotel, Birmingham, Alabama, this 31st day of January, 1928, in accordance with request made by Mr. […], the father.

[Edgar Cayce; J. B. Mackey, Conductor; A. B. Hale, Steno.]

Time of Reading Room 952, Tutwiler Hotel, 10:30 A. M. Central Time. Birmingham, Alabama.

1. JBM: Now you have before you the body of [4330]. 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 condition, also the treatment for the cure, and relief of this body. You will speak distinctly, at a normal rate of speech.

2. EC: We haven’t the city.

3. JBM: Birmingham, Alabama.

4. EC: Yes. We have the body here. Now we find there are abnormal conditions in the physical forces of the body. While these conditions have to do with physical things that may be done or applied for the correction of these conditions, yet we find there are those elements entering in this condition that are deeper than that of the purely physical, for there is seen that this condition arising in the offspring of these that in the physical sense were responsible for the entity’s entering the physical plane, these unseeming conditions have brought those elements into the hearts and minds and souls of these that have drawn them closer to that inner expression of life that has to do with the universal forces or the universal intelligence called God.

5. As to the physical conditions existent in the body, - [4330] we are speaking of - first, we find there is a lack of vitality in the life-giving blood energy to build properly in the body; yet this in itself shows some strength, some bettered conditions than have existed in times back. Taken properly, there may yet be added that which will give the still greater things in the replenishing forces as to build a nearer normal body for the functioning of the physical elements, also the spiritual expression of the individual as an entity in the earth plane.

6. In the blood supply: In this we find from the physical sense the lack of proper assimilation through a disturbed congestion or disturbed digestion to give the proper incentives to the rebuilding forces in the body. This, a physical condition, may be assisted as we shall see, to bring about better conditions by following very closely that of the diet in a way and manner that the forces given off by that assimilated will build that necessary for replenishing the blood supply and for adding to the physical forces of the body.

7. In the nerve system: This is very good, considering that the body in its developing stage has suffered much in the physical sense, and that the VITAL of the body at a low ebb has pushed forward into rebuilding, even without the full proper incentives from the cerebrospinal or sympathetic nerve system in the organs of the body, in the head, especially in portions of the antrums, and about the neck and ear. We find there congestion from improper conditions in the body that has brought trouble to the body, and that eventually there must be a removal of tissue or bone structure for the proper development, unless there can be builded within the body sufficient of the vital forces that in absorption, the element of destructive forces may be overcome, and in elimination proper coordination kept between the eliminating systems as to remove same from the system entirely. As is seen, the condition shows improvement from that as has existed, yet has not entirely segregated itself in one particular place. Yet, seemingly, the disturbance is in that region, yet the poisons as come from same throughout the lymphatic circulation produces the greater disturbances in obtaining proper digestion and the proper eliminations in the whole system. In considering the conditions in the body, for we find most of the organs well, as regarding existent conditions, though not normal, - in considering these there must be remembered that there are more than one channel through which poisons or drosses in a physical body may be eliminated. These are not eliminated only through the drosses of the system or through the action of liver and kidneys in and through the hepatic circulation, but also by the respiratory system, and through the capillary system. Then each portion of the body must be kept in proper coordinating form that the eliminations as are set about in the system may not become overbalanced and simply transfer the condition to various portions of the organism that would produce a disturbance in an organic manner as to be the latter condition worse than the first, physically.

8. Then we would by gentle massage, especially of the glands in the throat and neck so that the thyroid function the nearer normal, and that the accompanying pituitary glands throw off through those channels of the elimination in the throat and bronchials, and thus do not carry on throughout the other portions of the system, causing distresses in other functioning portions of the body. Massage this gently with those proportions of properties: To one pint of rub alcohol, add two ounces of Squibb’s Mineral Oil and one ounce of wintergreen.

9. This, as seen, will be absorbed by this portion of the body.

10. Along the whole length of the cerebrospinal system massage each day as is on the neck and around the ear, pulling gently, not hard, the ear up when this is massaged with this solution, but when massaging with the solution on spine gently rub downward, using equal parts olive oil and tincture of myrrh.

11. Heat the oil and add the myrrh. Do not prepare more than that necessary for the one operation, - tablespoonful of each.

12. As for the diet, here we find there must be added that easily assimilated, yet carrying all the properties as are necessary to supply that physical vibration for the replenishing of a developing body in a normal way and manner. With the gruels, the milk that is taken, occasionally add that of the juice of tomato, as much as the body will assimilate, for this we find carries all the vitamins in their proper proportions for assimilation for a body that must keep normal eliminations coordinating. Also those of beans and carrots. These may be cooked or raw, preferably the beans cooked without any fat save of vegetable fat, such as of the white oil or of cotton seed oil, and the carrots preferably raw. Do not fear that this will cause congestion. Should conditions arise with assimilation, then change by reducing the amount given. With these add beef juice, but never the flesh itself. This may be given in small quantities, and often, for this will supply the necessary proteins and calories for the body added with the vegetable, gruel and milks, changing the milks occasionally that the proper assimilation be kept.

13. Ready for questions.

14. (Q) When should we know when it would be necessary to remove the bone tissue or not? (A) By the reduction in the swelling or the assimilations in system are not able to build the body to the proper proportion in weight and in vitality. This kept properly as given, and the massage kept constantly and persistently, gently pulling the ear upward, not in a way as to produce irritation but that that created by the diet, that stimulation as given by the rubs may have the opportunity to remove the destroyed tissue and gradually build properly. However we will find this will cause, as is seen, a secretion, continually. Yet if this is kept properly, in the course of eighteen months to two years we should be able to see the reduction to a minimum, or an entire condition restored, keeping the minds of those that are drawn closer in that direction of adding to the body-physical and mental sustenance in self that the body may be whole, physically, mentally and spiritually. Do that.

15. We are through for the present.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 3/20/28 Father’s letter:

“Your letter of the 15th just received. - In regard to statement of $8.00 due Mr. Hale, I had already mailed him check for account - so, I went by the Court House and made him receipt the enclosed bill.

“In regard to my baby I think he is much improved in fact he has gained in weight since we have started treatment as to the reading you gave. It was quite funny that the following happened. We have had our baby under a baby specialist for the first 15 months of his life with no special results so we stopped. And about 4 months later was when you gave the reading, telling us to change diet, etc., about a week after starting the change in diet as to your reading, our specialist called up and said, ‘Mr. […], not having heard from your baby in several months, and the fact you have paid us quite a bit of money without results, I want you to know I am interested and I want to make another special examination without cost to you,’ so we took him over and a thorough examination was made before feeding and afterward. And HE said the baby had the new disease called “Celiac” and that a change of diet completely, no fats at all except of vegetable fats and change of milk - all of which the reading had outlined to us. And since that time the little fellow has made the gain he has - I appreciate so much the intent you have shown by writing me. And you can rest assured that it is greatly appreciated. And should the occasion call for it we will surely want another reading - with kindest regards to both you and Mrs. Cayce, I beg to remain…”

R2. 3/27/28 EC’s letter to [4330]‘s father:

“Yours of the 20th to hand. Certainly very glad to hear from you. Many thanks for sending me the receipted bill from Mr. Hale’s firm [Reporters]. They wrote me rather an ugly letter, but I knew that - or felt very sure that - all these had been taken care of.

“I certainly am indeed glad to know that the baby shows some improvement. It’s certainly quite interesting to know the attitude of the doctor, and to know he agrees with that suggested in the reading. They may all hoot or make fun if they want to, but it does look to me, that, where we so consistently have such reports as this, no one could justly say it was bunk. I certainly am in hopes the baby continues to improve, and I trust you will let me hear from you occasionally - and, as I told you when we were there, I would in the course of some weeks have a check reading to know whether he is improving just as would like to have him improve, or not.

“We seem to be making some progress with our building program, and I’m hoping that in the not far distant future the building will be a reality.

“Let me hear from you whenever you find the opportunity. Please remember me to Mrs. […]. My wife sends kindest regards to you both.”

Yours sincerely, Edgar Cayce
