This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at Phillips Hotel, Room 115, Dayton, Ohio, this 21st day of February, 1924, in accordance with request made by self - Mrs. [4436].

[Edgar Cayce; Linden Shroyer, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.]

Time of Reading 3:00 P. M. …, Alabama.

1. EC: Now, we find there are many abnormal conditions with this body. These have to do with functional conditions. Also with organs as affected that in some condition has become that that has become almost malignant in nature.

2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, Mrs. [4436] we are speaking of. First:

3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, there is the overcharge in the blood supply of those bacilli as created in the system itself, and that also left in the blood supply by the non-elimination through improper functioning of organs. This affects the system in the emunctories and lymphatics. Also through the pulmonaries and the functioning of the capillary circulation, giving the increase at times in the capillary circulation in its attempt to eliminate these properties. Through the excretory system being overcharged gives this effect in the capillaries. In the quantity we find this below the normal, yet in the white above the normal. Hence the strain that is ever present in those portions of the system that create the new blood supply.

4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this we find affected in various ways, though not the condition as is producing the effect as created. This in the cerebro-spinal becoming more of a reflex from the sympathetic system, as the sympathetic system is overcharged, and gives to many of the centers those expressions to the nerve system that prevents the body from creating the resistance necessary in the system, especially when functioning organs rebel and others are called on in a manner and way to carry on the functioning of eliminations, especially in other portions of the system.

5. IN THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain supply very good.

6. Organs of the sensory system suffer from the condition of nerve force more in the reflex than in direct manner.

7. Lungs, larynx and bronchials we find the conditions in these is produced from the overcharging of the lymphatic and the emunctories and the excess of secretions that need to be eliminated in the system, and in that also of that creating the extra amount of bacilli as carried in the body, and the supply of blood force is received both through the pulmonaries and in their functions as creating of blood, the spleen and of the constituents to cleanse the blood through this portion of the system, and in the ability to throw off those forces become lacking show the effect through these.

8. In the heart’s action above the normal, as temperature as created in the system in supply is larger than normal.

9. In that of the pancreas and the functioning of the digestive organs, we find these have been upset more by properties as taken in the system than by functioning of these organs direct.

10. In the liver this is below the normal in its functioning becoming congested in portion, and engorged in that where the excretory system functions. This gives then the overcharge to the blood and the lack of the system being able to eliminate properly those poisons that should be carried through the dross of the system. The lymphatics in the digestive system then gives an excess and the discharge as shown in the pieces show how this affects the condition in the intestinal tract.

11. In the colon itself we find these properties taken where the excess of conditions in the system are left, and it leaves in this portion of the body those that assist in creating the bacilli.

12. The kidneys and the organs that function through this portion of the excretory system becoming overcharged gives the discharge in the system, as is shown through that of the refuge as is eliminated from the system. This becoming then overcharged, showing caky clay, and the form of sediment as is given in improper functioning of these organs.

13. Organs of the pelvis being so creating the disturbance through the sympathetic system, and the excess of secretions is rather that of an overtaxed system than of organic conditions, though this has same given often as the condition that needs the direct attention, rather that of the blood supply and excretory system than the local organs there.

14. R E L I E F: To give then the best to this body, to give relief to those distressed conditions in the system, we would take these properties in the system, and direct the mental and the spiritual forces to the alleviating of conditions through the system. Take these in the system: To one gallon of rain water, we would add:

Sarsaparilla Root…4 ounces, Wild Cherry Bark…2 ounces, Yellow Dock Root…2 ounces, Burdock Root…2 ounces, Sanguinaria Root…2 ounces, as is first made from. In the formation of this, as given, we would supply then that of the Mandrake Root in the form of the podophyllin, and the Buchu Leaves thirty grains.

15. Reduce this by simmering to one quart. Strain while warm and add four ounces of grain alcohol, with three drams of Balsam of Tolu cut in it, with two drams of Balm of Gilead. The dose would be tablespoonful three times each day, taken after meals. Do this.

16. Direct the mind forces as this acts in the system. Keep those properties for the diet as will give the reviving forces through the nerve tissue. That of vegetable matter that grows above the ground. That of broth, or of meats of wild game. Little of other kinds of meat. Keep the water that is taken in the system carrying at all times a very small quantity of elm, and of sassafras root tea.

17. Do that. We will bring the best to this body.

“I feel sure I will improve, for I feel stronger and will carry out your full instructions with utmost faith.

“Am enclosing a $1 bill. Hope to be well and able to work again some day, then I can really help in donations to a work I think so worth while. I am a stenographer.”

R3. 3/11/24 EC wrote: “You need now only to have faith necessary to carry out the suggestions made, and I’m sure you will be feeling strong and well before you know it. Don’t be discouraged when you have bad days, but just keep suggesting to yourself, with each and every treatment, that you are going to soon be well, and you will find it will work wonders for you.”

R4. 3/20/24 She wrote: “Enclosed you will find $1 as a little offering for your work.

Mrs. [4436] Montgomery, Ala.

My dear Mrs. [4436]

Yours of the 20th, with enclosure, received, for which I thank you very much. It certainly is gratifying to know that you are feeling so much better, and I know that you are going to continue to do so. We have many letters similar to yours, but scarcely one that seems to have that faith necessary to bring the healing power to themselves.

Again thanking you, and assuring you that we are very much interested, and want to hear from you whenever it is possible, with kindest personal regards,

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce

R6. 4/2/24 She wrote: “Enclosed a small offering for the work. I am still improving, so maybe my greatest wish will some day be realized, to make my life a success. How I wish more of us could and would give our best for humanity as you are doing.”

R7. 4/24/24 She wrote: “Am sorry not to have sent this little offering earlier. I am still feeling fine. Feel much stronger. Have accomplished lots of work. When I get where I do not ever cough, will be as well as anybody. Even that is improved.

Mrs. [4436] Montgomery, Ala.

Dear Mrs. [4436]

Yours of a few days ago received and many thanks for your letter and for the contribution, should have written you before, and thanked you for the other, but keep so busy on letter writing and am so very poor at the machine myself, and no one would ever read it were I to try and write in long hand. Keep the steno busy at other letters and papers so, yes even you get neglected when I shouldn’t, but trust you will pardon me won’t you?

Am certainly glad to know that you continue to feel better, and know that you are going to be real well and strong and come help us out in the Institute work soon as we get in full swing, for can’t help but just want every one near that have helped. Well couldn’t do that but some way, well we will see.

Listen am sending you another card fill out and return at once. We want to check up on your condition, and would like for you to make a list of specific questions or questions of specific conditions that want to know about will you please do that. You know Earl Hall don’t you? Get him to make them out if you don’t want to, but of course would like best for you to make them for you know just what you want to know and how to ask it.

Again thanking you and hoping to hear from you real soon. Give Hall one of these books for me.

Sincerely

Background

B1. 2/11/24 She wrote: “I feel so hopelessly helpless over my condition and believe your diagnosis will be true… I have very little money…am unable to work. My husband died in May. I am entirely dependent on a relative… I would like to see if you could help me in my claim with the government as to my husband’s disability received during service, which I feel sure caused his death and I am due to receive.

“If I am in a physical condition to be near the border, please be plain with me, for I do not fear death and unless I do grow better, it would be a relief unless I could get a means of support, without my present imposition on relative.” [EC wrote making appointment, telling her to contribute as she was able.]
