This Psychic Reading was given by Edgar Cayce, at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 9th day of May, 1944, in accordance with request made by self, through the wife, Mrs. […], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, and Gussie W. Millaway, Stenos.]

Time of Reading 3:40 to 4:00 P. M. Eastern War Time. …, Calif.

1. GC: Now you will have before you the body of [5073] who is at …, Calif. 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 speak distinctly at a normal rate of speech, answering the questions as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5073].

3. As we find the disturbances here are progressive in their nature, and unless there can be added to the system that which will make corrections and allow the body to build back to that of sufficient energies for the voluntary nerve forces, and the involuntary nerve forces to be coordinant, the body will continue to lose its equilibrium or balance.

4. For the disturbance is the lack of stamina in nerves and tendons for controlling of the voluntary nerve forces of the locomotory centers. For as the control between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal becomes less and less cooperative, greater becomes the lack of proper equilibrium and control of the limbs of the body.

5. As we find, there would be first the addition to the body energies with the use of the Wet Cell Appliance. This as we find for this body should be constructed a bit differently from those that are ordinarily prepared, for in this particular case we would first make the appliance suspend in the solution 2 ounces of Tincture of Iodine, and then put this on a battery charge to allow the solution itself to be charged with the Iodine in the solution. The charge should be for an hour, as that of a regular charge for a battery for a car, see?

6. Then use this in the ordinary way with Chloride of Gold in the solution that passes through those connections that are applied to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus, and the charge of the copper plate to be at the 9th dorsal. This of the Gold Solution to be 1 grain to 1 oz. The solution to be made up with Copper Sulphate 2 lbs. to the 2 gallons or 1 1/2 gallons of water, rain water or distilled water. Six Drams of Zinc, and 1 1/2 oz. of the Acid. No charcoal in this appliance. Do re-charge the appliance every 30 days. Do disconnect the wires attached to the body when not in use. Do take the connections out of the gold solution when this is re-charged. After 30 days, re-charge. You may use the same solutions, but re-charge the solution with the Tincture of Iodine in the solution, with the regular battery charge for the same period, see?

7. This should be used every day just before the body is ready to retire, and to be used for one-half hour, followed by a thorough massage with equal portions of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil with 1/4 oz. of Lanolin added to each 2 oz. of Peanut Oil and 2 oz. of Olive Oil. This massage should be especially in the areas of the brachial centers, 9th dorsal, lumbar and sacral axis. Do massage the limbs; the lower limbs as well as the arms thoroughly with this oil.

8. In the diet, do not take any quantity of salt. Do have a great deal of vitamin B-1 Complex, hence we would take a stimuli with the regular diet itself of B-1 Complex Tablets, One-A-Day Brand.

9. Also, at least once each day take Wheat Germ. This may be taken with foods or cereals, but preferably with cereals. If it is impractical to get wheat germ oil that is prepared, take one tablet, or if gotten in the bulk, take 5 drops of same once each day.

10. We will bring help if we will be persistent.

11. Ready for questions.

12. Climatic conditions will have little or nothing to do with this. The diet is indicated: Take sea foods, especially fish. Very little or “red meats” though liver should be a part of the diet at times, and this broiled, not made hard, but broiled, and as raw as this body will eat it.

13. We are through with this reading.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. Mr. [5073]‘s wife was given a Physical Reading the next day. For further details pertaining to both of them, see wife’s case, 5097-1.

R2. 6/29/44 Wife’s letter: “We received a copy of the recent bulletin, and in accordance with report, so many things have occurred since commencing to apply your most enlightening suggestions. If this becomes too lengthy, please do not be too provoked with us. The following I took down in shorthand from my husband:

“He says, ‘My reading was scheduled between 3:30 and 4:30 Eastern War Time, which made it 12:30 to 1:30 Pacific War Time. I arrived home from work 25 minutes after 12, had a glass of tomato juice, laid down and started to read scripture passages. Not feeling what I had anticipated, I was beginning to wonder if Mr. Cayce would ever find me this long distance and all. Realizing that wishful thinking doesn’t accomplish much, I began to concentrate very hard on Mr. Cayce; shortly thereafter I felt the contact that was akin to a vibratory wave motion. Feeling certain now of the contact, I relaxed somewhat, but physically, I still felt short of breath and my heart raced. This very definite feeling or vibration continued for approximately 20 minutes, and then just as definitely left off.’

“My husband has been using the Wet Cell Appliance since 6/6, and the other suggestions were commenced immediately. I try to be of as much help as possible, and the good Lord is very obviously guiding and giving me strength to do so. There is a slight change in his entire body; he has more energy and we know that gradual improvement will be coming…”

R3. 8/4/44 Letter: ”…For my part, there has been a gradual over-all feeling of slight betterment…”

R4. 9/7/44 Wife’s letter: ”…My husband is persistently taking his treatments (Wet Cell Appliance, etc.) At times, there seems some improvement, then several bad days. We have had such torrid weather, and then he becomes completely exhausted. I know that he works too hard, and has many responsibilities, yet he never, never complains. Makes me feel ashamed of myself. That is my main reason for wanting to get well, so I can be of real assistance to him…”

R5. 2/9/46 Letter: “We wish to thank the Association for their thoughtfulness in sending us the Bulletins at various times in the past; those issues that particularly cover us from a health standpoint, even though we have not ordered or paid for them…”

R6. 9/23/46 Wife’s letter: ”…I know I don’t get a sufficient amount of rest, as my husband is unable to do anything. He has had a remission of his condition, and has been home for several months… Any information you may offer will be more than appreciated.”

R7. 8/30/47 Letter: “I have followed faithfully for over 3 years the suggestions made in the reading. After which time I might say that the upper portion of my body is in pretty fair shape; there is no appreciable difficulty with eyes, speech or arms. However from the waist down, my progress since the reading has been poor, to put it bluntly - and in a downward direction only. Now, it may well be that it is high time to change the position of the Wet-Cell Copper Plate from the 9th dorsal to spot along the sacral axis. I don’t know. Could you tell me if the readings suggest different locations for the copper plate, other than the 9th dorsal; and what those positions would be?… While I’m writing this letter, I might add, for your records, that my wife [5097] passed away last February…”

R8. 10/9/47 GD sent 2 extracts on Wet Cell Appliance for multiple sclerosis, both cases differing from Mr. [5073]‘s case in copper plate attachment.

R9. 12/7/48 Letter: ”…I expect to enter a clinic for treatment, and it won’t be handy to receive the publications. Perhaps in the future sometime, if and when I get back on my feet and working, I will be able to rejoin the Association. Thank you for past kindnesses.”

R10. 7/31/50 Questionnaire-report: “Date of onset, 1941; steadily progressive. Physician’s diagnosis and treatment: Multiple sclerosis, with no treatment and no relief. Followed the treatments outlined in the reading for 3 years. Result failure.”

R11. 8/18/52 No record of verbal or written contact on this case since 7/31/50.

Background

Background

B1. Born 3/11/15 in Michigan; married; no children; religious preference not indicated.

B2. 2/14/44 Wife’s letter: ”…Would you give a reading first, for my husband, who is afflicted with multiple sclerosis? It seems there is so little that can be done for it medically. About the time my husband became ill, I became afflicted with tuberculosis (both lungs). It is almost 2 years ago…”

B3. 3/3/44 Wife’s letter: “Two years ago my husband [5073] began to lose his equilibrium, his gait became unbalanced, at times, along with numbness in the left hand, and double vision. After thorough examinations and spinal test by the foremost neurologist in the middlewest, Dr. Young G. Alexander, M.D. of …, Neb., the complication was diagnosed as multiple sclerosis. The spinal test showed a cell count of 38 - way above the normal. He was hospitalized early in June 1942, when typhoid vaccines and thiamine chloride shots were administered, plus high caloric diet. After 2 months, he was released; there was nothing more that could be done. In September 1942, he came to Calif., and has been working under very difficult physical conditions; still losing his equilibrium, and can hardly walk. Several physicians have told my husband that their knowledge of multiple sclerosis is extremely limited, not knowing what causes it, or how to treat it. His questions are as follows: (1) Would another climate be more suitable? (2) Is there any particular food preferred? (3) Would any type of diathermic treatment and manipulation help?”

B4. 4/6/44 Letter: “Please send us the booklet, ‘Am I My Brother’s Keeper?’… Needless to say, the information reposing in those files is very important to us all…”
