Schoolteacher), Protestant) This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 17th day of April, 1944, in accordance with request made by the self - through husband - Mr. […], new Associate member of the Ass”n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by the article in “Coronet.”

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. (Notes read to and transcribed by Jeanette Fitch.)]

Time of Reading Set bet. 10:30 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern War 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; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions as I ask them.

2. EC: Yes. Here the conditions are of the progressive nature - or multiple sclerosis - or the activity of lack of the glandular force to produce or reproduce in itself the stamina or impulse in the nerve forces for coordinated activity in nerve centers. Thus the coordination between cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous systems is lacking. The chemical forces in the blood supply are lacking, or that assimilated lacks the ability to give this stamina to the body.

3. While the body has not as yet lost the full control, it becomes very tired, very weak, and everyone should be very cautious never to leave the body by itself when it attempts to move about the house. Someone should be in attendance, for a fall will occur unless there are real precautions taken, and it will be rather serious - not only to the injury that may occur, but the fear that will be a part of the experience to the unconscious or subconscious, or superconscious self.

4. But if we will begin with these we may bring better conditions for the body.

5. Begin with the use of the Wet Cell Appliance, carrying alternately the properties of Gold and Atomidine into the body.

6. The Appliance should be made with the regular charge, the two pounds of Copper Sulphate and the rest of the solutions in proportion, or with zinc and the acid, but only half a pound of Charcoal.

7. The Appliance would be used for thirty minutes each day, one day using the Gold Solution (in the proportions of one grain to each ounce of distilled water - and use at least three ounces); the next day using the Atomidine (one ounce of Atomidine to two ounces of distilled water - not tap water, but distilled water.)

8. Each day the large nickel plate, through which the solution passes vibratorially to the body, would be attached at the umbilical and lacteal duct center, which on this body would be the width of five fingers (this means the body’s own fingers, and not the thumb) from the naval center to the right and three fingers up from that point - which is rather high up on this particular body.

9. When using the Gold Solution, the small copper plate would be attached to the lumbar axis.

10. The next day when using the Atomidine the small plate would be attached to the brachial center, you see, or between the shoulders.

11. The Gold Solution may be made up in quantities, and kept in the dark; that is, it ordinarily comes in fifteen grain ampules. The whole amount may be used to make fifteen ounces and this kept in the dark, using three ounces at the time.

12. Recharge the Appliance every thirty days. Change the solutions every thirty days.

13. Do keep the attachment plates very clean. Do remove the connections from the solutions when not in use, getting them ready for use and attaching them at least twenty minutes before the application is made to the body.

14. Do these persistently and consistently, continuing to alternate the attachments in the manner indicated.

15. When the Appliance is removed, do massage the body thoroughly each day with this combination of oils:

Olive Oil…2 ounces, Peanut Oil…2 ounces, Lanolin (melted)…1/4 ounce.

16. Massage in a circular and a rotary motion, following out the centers from the locomotory centers; that is, from the brachial center especially follow out the nerves across the shoulder blade and out the arm to the finger tips. Then from the lumbar-sacral area follow out the nerves along the sciatic area on the inside of the limbs, under the knees, and even to the bursae in the heel and in the toes; though we would massage away from the body; that is, from the brachial center towards the finger tips, and from the lumbar axis toward the toes.

17. In the diet there should be a great deal of raw vegetables, especially mixed with gelatin. Even vegetable juices taken with gelatin would be well; not set, however, but taken as soon as the gelatin is stirred in same, to act in and with the gastric flows of digestion. Also have fish, fowl and lamb. Have more of the vegetables growing under the ground than those growing above the ground, for this body; such as the tuberous natures - potatoes, carrots, the oyster plant; all characters of vegetables that are grown under the ground. These should form the chief amount. To be sure some leafy vegetables should be taken, but have at least three of those under the ground to one of those on the top of the ground, for this body. Rutabaga, turnips, all such are well for this body; not in too large quantities, but they form the salts and the character of vitamins in the right combinations to make for the strengthening of this body.

18. Do that.

19. Ready for questions.

20. We are through with this reading.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 5/44 Wet Cell Appliance ordered from Marsden Godfrey.

R2. 4/4/45 Husband’s letter: “I would like to ask if you have a survey made of any or all of the multiple sclerosis cases that have had readings made by Mr. Cayce, and have followed the treatment prescribed. We had a reading for my wife on 4/17/44, and have followed the directions FAITHFULLY ever since, but he has been getting steadily worse, and we wonder what may have been the experience of others in such cases. Has it been necessary to change the treatment several times? A year ago, she could get around the apartment fairly well, but now she is unable to walk at all, and sits all day in a wheel-chair. We would very much appreciate any information that you could give us…”

R3. 4/6/45 Multiple sclerosis extracts sent; also publication list and sample of Weekly Readings Extracts and Dairy Letter.

R4. 3/30/50 Questionnaire sent. No reply.

R5. 10/20/52 No record of verbal or written contact on this case since 4/4/45.

Background

Background

B1. Born in Ohio, 4/2/08; married; no children.

B2. 11/7/43 Husband’s letter: “I am very interested in obtaining your services in curing my wife who has been a victim of multiple sclerosis for 9 years… This illness is one of the spinal cord and produces increasing paralysis. We have done all that our local doctors know to do for the trouble, but without real improvement. Will you please let me know under what conditions you can help us…”

B3. 12/20/43 Husband’s letter: ”…The primary question we wish to ask is of course: (1) How can my wife be cured? (2) The next is, what caused her illness? (3) What can be done to prevent any recurrence? (4) Would it be best to move to some other section of the country, and if so, where? I work nights, would it be best for me to be awake too at the time of the reading? Of course, I ask that the reading be scheduled for the earliest date possible, because my wife’s illness is becoming progressively worse, and it is only natural that we would be anxious. The trouble causes paralysis, and she is nearing the point of helplessness. Please send me the following publications…”

B4. 1/8/44 Husband’s letter: ”…My wife will be at …, Ohio, since she is paralyzed and cannot move more than 20 feet before becoming completely tired out. Most physicians have held out little or no hope that she will ever be cured. We have long been convinced that it would take a man with a great deal more than common medical understanding to fathom the trouble and evolve a cure. The questions are these: (1) How to cure her trouble? (2) How to prevent any recurrence? (3) What caused the trouble in the first place…”
