This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 13th day of May, 1944, in accordance with request made by Mother, Mrs. […], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by the book, THERE IS A RIVER.

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

Time of Reading Set bet. 10:30 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern War Time. …, Calif.

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: It would be better if the body were in accord. Yes, we have the body, [5110].

3. As we find, there are disturbances. While the body has not fully recovered from the effects of the subjugation of the mental and nerve changes in the central nervous system, or from the effect of operative measures taken, the body needs to be very quiet, for there are still the effects of the conditions, and there are not all the adhesions broken yet. The tendency for the circulation, especially the superficial, to become separated and form tumors through the body, has not been allayed.

4. We find, there should be the use of the Multiple Short-wave Oscillator here, and then follow this by a thorough massage, gently, but thoroughly given. The massage should be at least twice a week, while the Multiple Short-wave Oscillator would be given once a week.

5. These, with keeping body-building forces, will bring better conditions for this body.

6. Ready for questions.

7. (Q) What can be done to help her back? (A) We have given this. The Multiple Short-wave Oscillator and the massage.

8. (Q) What causes the pressure to force the uncomfortable urinary frequency? (A) The adhesions; the tying of certain muscular forces. With the Multiple Short-wave and the massage, we should ease these conditions gradually, but we have a hard proposition to combat in that, unless the Multiple Short-wave is successful in breaking up the tendency for the lymph to produce and segregate, we will have other formations coming, but we would keep the Multiple Short-wave and we would keep the massage.

Keep the body quiet, to be sure, but there should be some activity.

9. (Q) Is it possible to have children? (A) Don’t think about children now; best to get self in shape so that this may become possible if there is response to the conditions.

10. We are through with this reading.

Two copies to Mother (one for doctor who gives the short-wave - Please send us the name and address of the doctor you choose.) Copy to Ass’n file ” for indexing

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 10/16/44 Mother’s letter: “Last spring you gave us a reading concerning the health of our daughter [5110], and it is time to report to you in order to ask for more help. After some search we located a very good osteopathic physician here in …, Dr. S. M. A. [Smalley, J. W., D.O.], who has a shortwave oscillating machine, and following your suggestion she went to him for treatments. However, as yet she is no better; in fact, she is worse. There is a theory to the effect that she had a light, undiagnosed case of infantile paralysis when she was a child, leaving post polio complications. We are fairly at our wits’ end, and I wonder if you can suggest anything to us. What impression do you get regarding the polio theory, and why is there so much intestinal pain and urinal frequency as well as the back pains? How can we get her up and around again?”

R2. 10/23/44 IMG’s letter: “Due to Mr. Cayce’s continued illness, we are unable to make an appointment for your daughter at this time… In examining your daughter’s reading, the answer to the second question seems to indicate that the condition is stubborn. We would therefore suggest that you continue with the treatments outlined in her reading, provided Dr. S. M. A. is in favor of continuing the treatment…”

R3. 3/14/50 Questionnaire sent to [5110] and Dr. S. M. A. No reply.

R4. 7/2/52 No record of verbal or written contact on this case since letter of 10/16/44.

Background

B1. 7/14/43 Mother’s letter: “It seems like a direct answer to prayer that Mr. Sugrue’s book about you has fallen into my hands. I finished reading it last night and only wish we had known all this long ago for we do need help. We are alarmed concerning our daughter, Mrs. [5110]… She has been ill and suffering for several years, with very little relief from doctors. She is discouraged, naturally, and until I read of you we had thought to take a last desperate fling with an operation in view. Now, however, we earnestly hope you will give us a reading, and we are postponing the surgery until we hear from you…”

B2. 7/25/43 Mother’s letter: ”…Various specialists have had their say about our daughter [5110], taken their toll of our finances and arrived at hazy conclusions. We’ve decided surgery is too indefinite, and if it is possible, prefer to await your reading. It may be necessary to take her through the … University Medical School Clinic for a diagnosis, but unless she suffers too much and becomes highly nervous, we’d like to wait for your suggestions… I believe there is some maladjustment that the medical men do not find. In case this is going to be the ‘straw that breaks the camel’s back’, let me know. I had no idea you were so over-worked, and I don’t wish to impose.”

B3. 8/28/43 Mother’s letter: ”…My daughter will certainly be at her home, and will want to know the cause for the painful kidney irritation and frequency, and what to do for it and the constipation. Also with the peculiar back trouble she has had, plus this kidney and bladder ailment, if she can safely have a child…”

B4. 5/2/44 Mother’s letter: ”…My daughter is recovering slowly from an operation - a tumor and an ovary were removed and adhesions were freed. (1) What can we do now to help the back, which as I wrote you, is not normal? (2) What causes the pressures to force the uncomfortable urinary frequency? (3) And is it possible or feasible for her to have children?…”
