This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 17th day of November, 1925, in accordance with request made by self, through Mrs. [3980].

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

Time of Reading 10:45 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Ohio.

  1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will answer any questions regarding this body that I might ask you.

  2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find there are many abnormal conditions with this body, yet the body has that resistive force which, if added to through the proper means, the physical forces would be able to overcome these conditions, that have to do with the functioning of the organs in the system, for as yet we have only organic conditions to deal with.

  3. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, Mrs. [4890], we are speaking of. First:

  4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, in this, we find this very good in its elemental forms, yet carrying that bacilli in the system that produces a strain on the red blood and building forces of the system; changing in its action occasionally from the low blood pressure to that of high, with excess of low, or the white. Again an excess of the red, again an excess of those of the form of bacilli that produces the pus forming cell in its separation in various functioning organs. Hence the conditions as are created in various portions of the system.

  5. IN THE NERVE SUPPLY, this we find very good in many ways, yet very much under a strain, especially in the sympathetic and sensory systems, see? No special impingements as we find in the system, save as a sympathetic condition in certain ganglia.

  6. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces very good.

  7. Functioning of the organs of sensory system show the strain under which this portion of system functions. Hence the conditions that occur at times with ears, eyes, nose, and the peculiar sensation as is experienced in the whole capillary circulation, through the ganglia of the system in capillary and in the lymphatic circulation. Tingling sensations, pains in various portions of the joints, burning sensation in the skin at times, dryness in various portions of the body, dry in throat, mouth, dry on bottom of feet, dry on certain portions of the hand; again burning and a perspiration breaking out - see?

  8. In throat, bronchials, lungs and larynx, the effects of the blood condition and the disturbed circulation in its poor assimilation, and overtaxed eliminations at times, gives distress to the bronchials and the throat. This rather the strain as produced on system than an organic condition, see? and the system attempting to eliminate those properties of the streptococci, or pus forming bacilli, finds these form a kind of phlegm in lung, throat and bronchials. Easily thrown off at times, again forms a catarrhal condition in nose and nostrils, see?

  9. In the digestive system, this very good, though poor assimilation at times, see?

  10. In the liver, spleen and hepatic circulation, this very good at the present time, though when overtaxed, the whole system feels “let down” as it were, keeping tired for lack of vitality to exercise the whole portion of body.

  11. The kidneys overtaxed. Hence over-active.

  12. In the pelvis and the organs of genitation, we find the greater trouble, for the system suffers from that irritation of leukorrhea, and the after effects of gonorrhea - see? This, then, produces the strain on the whole system.

  13. Then, to overcome these conditions, we would add much to the system in a systematic and in a consistent manner, see? First, the body should not eat MEATS or BUTTER, or ANY FATS, for the time being, see? That is, for three to five weeks. Taking, then, green vegetable forces as much as possible. Beans, lentils - any kind of the form of vegetable forces are good for the system, under the existent condition.

  14. For the general tonic in system, take this:

Syrup of Sarsaparilla…2 ounces, Syrup from Wild Cherry Bark…2 ounces, Tincture Stillingia…1 ounce, Essence of Poke-Root…15 minims, Elixia Calisaya…2 ounces, Essence of Burdock Root…1/2 ounce, Tincture Capsici…1 minim, Oil of Peppermint…2 minims. Sufficient simple syrup to make 16 ounces.

Shake solution well together before each dose is taken. The dose would be teaspoonful four times each day. When the body (from the appetite as this creates in system) desires food, take whole wheat gruels, or of Vanilla or Wheat Wafers, or plain crackers that have been browned, see?

  1. Use, for the condition in the vagina and womb, the sitz or steam bath, as this: In a crock, or bucket, containing gallon and a half of very hot water, or boiling (or as hot as body can stand, see?) add Tincture of Myrrh 20 drops, Tincture of Sweet Gum 20 drops. Remain sitting over this, with the vagina and the puba exposed to this steam, see, for at least fifteen to twenty minutes once each day.

  2. Every second or third day use a warm douche of Creolin, see? and the off day, or every third day, see, following this, use an antiseptic solution of the Glyco-Thymoline as douche also, see? This had best be used in Fountain Syringe than in the forced syringe, see, or spray.

  3. With these conditions, we will find the body will improve. Necessary, to be sure, while these treatments are being taken, that body keep itself clean from the association with opposite sex, see? Do this. We will find in five to six weeks, the body will show the change. Then there would be given that necessary to eliminate ENTIRELY these conditions from system.

  4. (Q) How much Creolin and Glyco-Thymoline should be used in the douches? (A) Two teaspoonsful of Glyco-Thymoline in quart of water. One teaspoonful - or beginning perhaps best with ten to fifteen drops of the Creolin - see?

  5. (Q) Has this body what is commonly known as tuberculosis? (A) No.

  6. (Q) Has this body what is commonly known, any bad disease? (A) That as given.

  7. (Q) Why does the body suffer such pains at the menstrual periods, and why so irregular? (A) The condition of circulation producing irregularity, see? Blood condition and the run down condition, or lack of vital forces necessary to produce same. The suffering produced from the condition as is found in vagina and womb, see?

Do as given, and we will find we will bring the better and normal forces for this body.

  1. We are through for the present.
