This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Virginia, this 12th day of April, 1934, in accordance with request made by herself - Mrs. [532], new Active Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mr. [391].

[Edgar Cayce; Mildred Davis, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [532] and daughter.]

Time of Reading 10:50 to 11:10 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [532].

2. As we find, there are conditions that disturb the better physical functioning of this body. These, as we find, have to do with conditions that have gradually been brought on by impoverishment to portions of the system through the lack of elements necessary to keep an even balance. And these have affected, then, those portions of the system and glands that are impoverished by the lack of these elements in the body.

3. These, then, are the conditions as we find then with this body, [532] we are speaking of, present in this room:

4. First, as to the BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this has become impoverished by the lack of those necessary forces being assimilated by disturbances in the body as to produce a perfect coordination or balance in the red blood, the white blood, and the urea or lymph that makes for proper coagulation.

5. These conditions, as may be indicated from the character of the disturbances, are effects; and the causes are from other sources. Yet the effect of such disturbance produces, as we find, in the nervous system and in certain organs - as we shall see in the body - the lack of activity.

6. Hence we have in the NERVE REACTIONS a nerve reaction that makes for incoordinations, and the inability for the body to carry through those impulses in the voluntary reactions to extremities, or to the body portion itself.

7. We also find that such impoverishment in the blood force, from the disturbances in the glands in the stomach, in the thyroid, in the adrenal, produces softening, unsteadiness, unstableness in the muscular reactions and the nerve forces of the body.

8. As to the ORGANS THEMSELVES - Brain forces and their reflexes are very good.

9. The organs of the sensory system show their responses still, yet the lapsus in the reaction of those effects as PRODUCED by same shows the effect in the system.

10. In the glands about the thyroids we find the lack of those distributions through the system as to produce the proper functioning, or their effect upon all portions of the system that are affected by this incoordination, producing a katabolism and a metabolism that is abnormal for the conditions of the body.

11. Lung forces are very good save for the inability to produce proper coagulation through the activities of the respiratory system.

12. Hence we find the activities of the lymph and the emunctory are very low, and produce those effects in portions of the system that are disturbing.

13. In the digestive area, here we find again much of that in times back which has been the cause; or that which has produced same. For, in a period some years previous, there were very strong medicinal properties given that destroyed an activity in the glands in the secretions of the system as to prevent the distribution of those forces that would keep an even balance; especially in those that prevent the ability of assimilation of elements that would be necessary to keep an even balance. And this then caused or produced those conditions in the activity of the spleen, pancreas, and the upper hepatic circulation, that has gradually builded these disorders that exist in the body in the present.

14. As we would find, then, we may add that to this body which will materially aid in bringing a much nearer normal balance for the body. And if there will be the persistence, and the consistent application of these forces and influences for the body, we will find there will be a ridding of these conditions, and a bringing about of a much nearer normal balance.

15. First we would begin taking into the system small quantities of Atomidine, that will make for a functioning of all the glands in the system; and supplying those elements in the digestive system that will open the ducts that will make for a better balancing in the blood supply. In the beginning we would take three minims three times each day, in a half glass of water, just after each meal.

16. We would also begin immediately with the vibrations from the low electrical vibration that may be had in the Radio-Active Appliance to the extremities of the body, in the evening or - preferably when the body rests in the afternoons. The first day attach one anode first to the right wrist and the other to the left ankle. The next day attach the first anode to the left wrist and the other to the right ankle. And so on, reversing each day. Apply for a period of at least fifty to sixty minutes. While there will not be felt any vibration from these applications, there will be very soon a material change in the ability of the body to rest normally and to make for a better pulsation, a better reaction.

17. As for the diets, these have been outlined well for the body. These we would not alter or change.

18. At least twice each week we would have a general distribution of the forces through the activities of the muscles and nerves in the system, as from the NEUROPATHIC application - which follows the nerve forces throughout. Or these may be taken each day, not so long a period of application. Or there may be taken the osteopathic manipulation, that may be a GENERAL massage; not as a correction of the segments along the spine, but as to make for organic distribution of energies as the functioning organs are aided to not only create a balance in themselves but a coordination of the gland circulation and gland functioning through those properties as given.

19. Ready for questions.

20. (Q) An operation would not be necessary? (A) Not if these are followed; for, as indicated, the body itself is not in a condition to survive or stand an operation in the present. If there are those applications made as we have indicated, we would find the drainages and the stimulations in the whole system would bring about much preferable conditions to any that may be had from other things - as we find.

21. (Q) Any further advice for the body? (A) If these will be followed, as we find, we will bring to this body a much nearer balance in the physical forces of this body.

Do that.

22. We are through for the present.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 4/14/34 Letter from Mrs. [532] indicated she was not able to buy the Appliance, and asked if she should go ahead with the Atomidine. EC answered that she could get the Appliance and pay for it as she was able, since Gray Salter in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, was making the Appliance and was very willing and anxious to cooperate in any way possible.

R2. 5/9/34 Report by MD re [532]‘s personal visit: “I met the lady coming in as I was going out and did not know her. She wanted me to see how she could get out of the car without help, whereas before she had to have assistance. Seemed full of pep and vitality, quite different from the lady whom almost a month before had come trembling and weeping for her reading. Battery not used yet, but ordered.

“Feels fine; looks like a different person; new lease on life. Hasn’t followed all the treatment yet.”

R3. 5/11/34 Letter from EC to Mr. [442]: ”…About a month ago we gave a reading for a lady [532] from …, Virginia, who had just heard about the readings; in fact, she had several years ago attempted to get into our hospital but was refused admittance just at the time it was being closed. She had been assured by her doctors that nothing could be done. The treatment suggested in the reading was not so severe, but had to be rather persistent. We were surprised night before last when she called on the phone said she was at the Beach and was coming by. We could hear her talking as they drove up in front, and she literally bounced out of the car. I met her at the door, and as she came up the steps she said, ‘You know they almost had to bring me in the last time; I just want to show you how well I’m getting along. I can walk up the steps by myself; I feel better, and know I’m getting well!’ It’s simply a marvelous thing…”

R4. 5/16/34 Letter from Mrs. [532]: ”…Because I would not take my Atomidine from 3 to 5 drops, and take liver extract for my osteopath, he had so much to say about it on last Tuesday A.M. I was compelled to ask him not to return until I called him. When I found he (Dr. […]) would not do as I preferred it made me ill. I am in bed since Tuesday A.M. I suffered the worst cry I have had for months. Dr. […] put me back where I was five weeks ago. I almost lost every hope I had. I told him I just could not take anything until you said so (meaning my reading). I am so weak I can’t enjoy sitting up. In the beginning I thought he was trying to follow my reading. I will not be able to come down before May 26, on which I hope to have a reading. I will drop you a line. See if Miss Davis can read this for you. I am ashamed of such a letter, but I am not equal to any better now…”

R5. 5/18/34 EC wrote Mrs. [532] an encouraging letter about experiences doctors in various parts of the country had had in following out the readings.

R6. 5/22/34 GD wrote Mrs. [532] that she had just received word from Hopkinsville that the Radio Active Appliance had been mailed to her. GD included a list of body-building and blood-building foods which she had copied from a diet book.

B1. 2/10/31 She requested entrance to Cayce Hospital “for a quiet place to rest.” Since the hospital closed that very month, her application was not accepted.

B2. 4/12/34 She came to be present for the rdg., nervous and upset: “The doctors say I am dying of thyroid trouble.”
