This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 7th day of April, 1938, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [480], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 4:05 to 4:15 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Detroit, Michigan. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes - we have the body, [480].

2. As we find, there are changes taking place with the body.

3. Owing to the disturbing conditions mentally and physically about the body, there will be the necessity for greater precautions; else through the very anxiety there may arise disturbing conditions to prevent the fulfilling of the developments that are begun.

4. These then are rather as periods of precaution, and there must be the keeping of the mental attitudes in a constructive manner as well as those precautions about too great a strain of any character, overexertion or the like; and with the periods as they arise, keeping the growths of the bodily FUNCTIONINGS nominally.

5. Well that sufficient calcium be taken, whether this is in small quantities of the calcium itself - as a mineral, or whether from the minerals of the fruits or vegetables that make for the assimilating and activity of same. These as we find are preferable; that is, through the food values as in the fish and fowl, and especially in nuts such as the filberts and almonds and the like.

6. From the conditions that have been a disturbance in the glandular forces, especially in the activity of the pancreas [Diabetic tendency], it is well that the balance be kept by occasionally using the Jerusalem artichoke - and for tests to be made later, of course, as respecting same.

7. Ready for questions.

8. (Q) Is there a pregnancy? (A) As indicated.

9. (Q) How far advanced? (A) In the third [first] month. [GD’s note: This was either my mistake or a slip of the tongue, because her rdg. 480-45 was obtained only 2 mos. ago advising not to become pregnant until March or April.] [Her baby son was born 12/8/38, which would make this the 1st month.]

10. (Q) If there is nausea what shall I take for same? (A) The precautions that have been indicated should bring relief: that is, not too early an arising, and the orange juices - or the lime and cinnamon water, these are well. For this condition, do not mix the potassiums with these. [As given in 480-28 for first pregnancy.]

11. (Q) Any other medication at this time? (A) Only those precautionary measures, and - of course - the necessary examinations for keeping in line with the developing conditions.

12. (Q) Any particular kind of osteopathic treatment? (A) Those treatments of the general nature as related to same, only - as we find.

13. (Q) How often would you advise these to be taken? (A) Once in ten days or once a week or the like. Much of this would depend upon the feelings or the reactions to the body itself, to be sure.

14. (Q) How can I be of more service to my mother who is so very ill? (A) Just the patience, and the cheerfulness with it, that - even though it makes a hardship for self - will bring the greater joy to the mother.

15. (Q) Any other advice for the body? (A) Only those precautions as indicated, as we find for the present.

16. We are through with this Reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 4/9/38 Letter from EC to [480]: “How wish could see and talk with you all, do hope the suggestions will be helpful for you, my heart is always so full when think of you and your Mother, there just isn’t any thing for me to say, do hope the very best possible comes for you all. You are all such wonderful people such gracious and marvelous friends - doesn’t seem right that you should be made to suffer so; and there always comes the question - if God loves us why does he allow us to suffer so - we can only find the answer in our own selves, no one else can tell us or explain it to us; and we have to turn as the Psalmist - ‘tho he slay me yet will I trust in Him’ - for strength can come from no other source.

“Please give your Mother [her mother, Mrs. [601], died Wed. night, 4/20/38] our love won’t you, let us hear when ever you can, know we are anxious, and are praying - His will be done -

“With love from each one to you and yours…”

R2. Phone request [480], Monday nite, May 2, 1938: “Hello, Gladys. You heard the news, I suppose. She knew, Gladys. Yes, I think she knew as soon as she went to the hospital. She definitely gave up - couldn’t get her to eat - just wouldn’t try. I’ll write you later, when I get my Check Reading. I want a Check-Up, Gladys - I’m all WORN OUT! Just can’t get myself together. When you get it Wednesday morning, will you send it Special, please - I want it to get here before Daddy returns. I wrote you about him, didn’t I? [See 601-31 Reports.] Please try to understand and not condemn him - he is absolutely LOST! We’ve moved on… [with Daddy - see 619-5 Reports]. How are you all? How is Mr. Cayce, Mrs. Cayce? I’ll write you when I get my reading, and I’ll send you a check, Gladys, for my last Check-Up and this? How do you get that way? Of course, I owe it! Goodbye, Gladys.” [Note by GD: She was phoning from a pay station, so the call wouldn’t show on telephone bill.]
