This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 13th day of June, 1944, in accordance with request made by the self - Miss [5222], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by article in Coronet Magazine.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Jeanette Fitch, Stenos.]

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

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, we have the body here [5222].

3. As we find, there are disturbances which are preventing the better physical functioning of the body. These, as we find, have existed for some time back, thus will require, with the correction, that there be those cares taken for the organs involved in same until the system has been adjusted sufficiently to relieve these tensions.

4. This has to do with subluxations which exist in the brachial area of the cerebrospinal system, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th dorsal and in the 1st and 2nd cervical. These make for incoordinations between the sympathetic system and the organs of the sensory system, in this particular instance the pressure from both the dorsal and the cervical, but the impulses to the vision of the body.

5. Thus there have been, as is experienced in the present, those tendencies for accumulation or the forming of a cataract over the optic forces of the body.

6. These would be materially aided by long duration and the operative forces, but if there are in the present the corrections by the specialist, Dr. White, making the corrections in the dorsal and cervical areas and at the same time keeping the applications which tend to keep a better form of reaction in the secretions to the vision, keeping them alkalized by the use of acid and alkalizers, we will make for better conditions for the body. We may even prevent the formation of the cataract.

7. There may be the necessity for the application of electrical forces for dissipation of the accumulations directly to the eye, or the putting of the glass over the optic itself and the electrical forces for dissipation of the accumulations directly to the eye, or the putting of the glass over the optic itself and the electrical forces through the hands to the body for correcting the disturbance.

8. Do that if we would make better conditions for this body.

9. We are through with this reading.

Two copies for self (one for Dr. Coulter, 18 E. 41st Street, New York, N.Y. who can no doubt refer you to Dr. White mentioned, if you are not already acquainted with him - Apparently he is a well known osteopathic finger surgeon.) Copy to Ass’n file ” for indexing

(We are sorry about the mix-up in regard to your appointment. We hope you will still come to the Congress.)

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 6/21/44 Dr. Coulter’s letter: “I can find no such individual in the vicinity as Dr. White John F. White, D.O., Syracuse, N.Y.?], an osteopathic finger surgeon, upon consulting all directories at my disposal. The recommendation for osteopathic manipulation, I of course, can take care of and have practiced for many years finger surgery in the nose, throat and eye. However, the treatment is not specific in the Physical Reading. It also mentions keeping the secretions of the eyes alkalized, but no mention is made of method or to what degree. The use of electrical application is made, but no frequency - or method stated. Reference is made to the use of a glass, which I take to mean glasses. I promised Miss [5222] to get in touch with you to ask you to review the Physical Reading, and possibly get us straight as to the proper treatment required.”

R2. 7/12/44 GD’s letter to Dr. Coulter: “Regarding the case of [5222], I think the Boric Acid eye wash one time, and Glyco-Thymoline the next time is what is referred to, using about half Glyco-Thymoline and half water; for instance, one of these solutions in the morning and one in the evening. The electrical treatment, I believe, which is possibly to be necessary later, is that such as given a few years ago (we have not been in touch with him since) by Dr. Gustave Erlanger.”

R3. 3/4/47 Friend’s letter: “Miss [5222], my friend, had a reading, and would like to consult you further about her treatments. At the time, it was not possible for her to find the address of the doctor who was to give the treatments, and I do not think she heard further from you. The reading was in reference to her eyes. She was gradually losing her sight.”

R4. 9/22/60 GD’s note: “Could it be that Dr. Charles S. Green was meant in the reading? It seems to me he was recommended several times previously to give finger surgery treatments. Four other readings were given on the morning that Miss [5222] had hers, and this was the period just prior to EC’s physical breakdown and the end of his readings.”

B1. Born May 6, 1989 in New York; resides in N.Y.; single; no occupation.

B2. 9/15/43 Letter: “A friend of mine told me of the article in ‘Coronet’… Since birth I have been afflicted with an eye condition caused, doctors say, by spots on the retina. For the last 10 years, my eyes have steadily grown worse and now there is a decided cataract condition developing…”

B3. 10/27/43 Sister’s telegram: “My sister and I would both like an appointment. Kindly inform when convenient. Answer collect to…”

B4. 11/5/43 Sister’s letter: “My sister [5222] with whom you have recently had same correspondence, and I, wish to become associate members… Due to my sister’s condition, she cannot travel alone. Obviously, since I must accompany her, it would be a great advantage to have our readings close together. When you set the date, we hope you can arrange it…”

B5. 2/15/44 Letter: “Thank you so much for your kindness in promising my sister (in behalf of her daughter) and me a treatment on the morning of 6/13. Am waiting patiently for the time to arrive beneficial to be present at that time, or is the cure as easy when one is at a distance? The reason I ask this is that I may be in that vicinity around that time and if you would rather have me present, we would arrange to be there.”

B6. 2/19/44 EC’s letter: ”…If you are in the vicinity of Virginia Beach on the date of the reading, it will be fine for you to be present. I think you would get a clearer understanding of the reading and would have the opportunity to talk to us afterward about it. However, it is not necessary for you to be here…”

B7. 6/12/44 EC’s wire: “Your appointment is tomorrow morning, 13th between 10:30 and 11:30. Wire exact address for that hour and questions.” [6/15/44 GD’s note: No written record of a reply to this wire. The sister was present for her daughter’s [3905] reading on 3/20/44.]
