This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 6th day of May, 1927, in accordance with request made by self, through Mr. [900].

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

Time of Reading 7:15 A. M. 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 present time, giving the cause of the existing conditions; also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will answer any questions regarding same I may ask you.

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

3. Now, we find there are specific conditions in the physical structural portions of the body that produce disturbances in the physical functioning of organs, and the results of this disturbance are often being treated, rather than the cause of conditions.

4. These, then, are the conditions as we find with this body, [4786], we are speaking of:

5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this shows the effect of the lack of rebuilding forces in the body, rather than of any condition directly in the blood stream causing trouble.

6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, the general physical condition, and worry, has more to do with disturbances in the nerve than any of the inflammations as are produced in various nerve centers and plexus by the disturbance in the system.

7. In the physical forces, or the functioning of organs and the disturbance as produces that as is seen in the body: We find in times back there was an injury received in the 3rd, 4th and 5th dorsal, where lesion has formed (body was hit in the back, see?), and it is internal - the lesion internal, see? and this pressure produces that pressure on the direct reaction to the stomach until the cardiac orifice has those of lacerations and ulcerations in the upmost portion of same; so that even taking of food causes distress, and with the DIGESTING of food poor assimilation, poor elimination. Water hurts even as much as food, almost, and this is in the state of becoming very detrimental to the body.

8. In the general forces, then, THESE are the conditions to be corrected, and THESE are the conditions to be met.

9. Then we would first, through the manipulation osteopathically, BEGIN the correction of those conditions in the dorsal region.

10. With the throwing off of the condition by absorption, there will be many disturbing forces brought about in the body. Then we will find, after the fourth (4th) treatment, the body should begin with these properties in small quantities and increase or diminish as the body assimilates same:

11. Prepare Yellow Saffron Tea, see? One (1) ounce to one (1) pint of water. Let it steep (not boil or simmer - but steep) for an hour. Then strain off. This may be kept just so long as it doesn’t sour, see? This should be taken as sips - small sips, and in between these sips take small sips of PURE olive oil. Not that that becomes rancid in system, but just small sips, that this may be assimilated by the stomach proper, and this will give, as it were, something for the corrected stimulus to the nerves of the upper portion, or to the cardiac end of stomach, to build upon. There is the HARDENING of the stomach wall itself, and this will, as we see, give better reaction to same.

12. We would then, after this has been given for some ten (10) days, begin the WEARING of the Double X Radium Appliance, that we may STRENGTHEN the whole vibratory force of blood and nerve supply, giving tissue the ability to secrete sufficient of the juices in the system to carry on the capillary and the lymphatic circulation; for the tendency is - with the drying of these conditions - to reduce the lymphatics, and this must be increased.

13. Do that.

14. (Q) What should the diet be for the body? (A) That that is easily assimilated. Preferably beef juices and those of tomatos - the juice of same - so that there is not TOO MUCH of anything. The body should take just what the body will assimilate, see? Beans, lentils (NO FISH! no fowl!), beef or mutton, or goat, kid, bear, deer, or any of the WILD may be taken - but not fish or fowl, see?

15. (Q) Where should the appliance be worn? (A) Across the 4th and 5th dorsal vertebrae.

16. (Q) How many adjustments will be necessary? (A) There should be several given towards the first, often. Then will be necessary to extend these over a LONG period of time, until at least fifty or sixty (50 or 60) are taken; for, as given, this is internal, see? and they may be stretched over a LONG period of time; that is, year to two years; but these corrections or reductions must be made; yet once corrected, we will find the body will respond to the conditions, see?

17. We are through for the present.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 5/19/27 Mr. [900]‘s letter: “Our maid [4786], as you saw, is a meek, willing little girl and we tried hard to do for her. We got her the reading for her health & she does feel better. We sought only means to help & do for her.” [See rest of his letter copied into 136-64 Background re. his wife’s diamond pin being stolen, etc., and [4786] being suspected. See also 136-65 asking how they should handle the situation. See also 140-19, 12/19/27, commending [136] for handling the situation so as to help [4786] develop spiritually.]

Background

Background

B1. 5/4/27 Mr. [900]‘s letter: “[4786], our maid, doesn’t seem to be able to get herself straightened out physically. She seems to have a more or less constant pain high up in the stomach that cathartics do not seem to remedy. She seems to suffer particularly when she eats, with the result of reduced eating and loss of weight. She looks very badly of course. Both [136] and I would therefore appreciate your taking a Physical Reading for her. She really seems like a very refined and nice girl and I often wonder what her past history is, that is the Life Reading history, I mean. It is peculiar, but I wonder. At any rate, she is in need of a physical, and we’ll appreciate it if you take it.”
