This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 322 Grafton Avenue, Dayton, Ohio, this 30th day of July, 1925, in accordance with request made by self - Mrs. [5329].

[Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.]

Time of Reading 3:00 P. M. Dayton Savings Time. New York City.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.

2. EC: Now, we find there are some physical conditions existent in the body that need the physical assistance to assist same in gaining the normal functionings of the organs of the body. Hence the conditions, as we see, are functional, with the organic forces disturbed through such abnormal force or vibration.

3. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in the body:

4. THE BLOOD SUPPLY, in this we find the body very good in many respects, yet subnormal in the circulation. This produced by conditions, as we will see, in the functioning of eliminating portions of the body, or directly involving the emunctories of the physical organism.

5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, this very good in many respects, yet unable to be wholly and fully controlled by the mental forces of the body, through the abnormal vibrations as are set in motion in the functioning of organs, so that the sympathetic and the sensory system is overtaxed at times by the excessive vibratory forces as are set in motion in the physical body, from the vibration as is in the earthly forces or material physical forces of the body a part.

6. IN THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, in the sensory system, with this exceeding high vibration as is set in motion by the mental attributes of the physical body, these we find are at a high tension often in their physical functioning. That is, in the organs of the senses, these become often accentuated to such an extent as to produce those of a higher vibration than is ordinarily set in motion through such physical forces, and become as impressions to the physical attributes of the body to the extent that the mental proclivities of same are raised to a higher degree, giving then the effect of second sight at times of the impressions as are received through sensory system, in vision of the attendance of other forces than of self in the vibration of the surrounding of the body itself, throwing off or giving off than an exceeding amount of vitality and force in the energy as is expended in giving the cosmic forces of the body itself. As is seen also in that of the speech - far beyond, surpassing that of its ordinary forces as is given at times on subjects, especially, pertaining to these of the forces pertaining to the force of the higher vibrations as is found in the sensory organism in its relation to the physical projects of the body itself.

7. In physical forces then, in brain forces good.

8. Lung forces show the effect of the excessive vibration as set in motion by the emunctories being dormant or not sufficiently high in their activity. This is also reflected in the subnormal flow of blood through the body, though producing often an abnormal pressure in heart’s action. Not organic heart condition. This produced rather by a disturbance of the organ itself, by the slowness of the pulsation. This, then, being below normal.

9. Digestive system very good, for the diet of the body is in keeping with those higher vibrations as is set for the body through the mental, through the sensory, through the sympathetic forces of the body itself.

10. Liver engorged and below normal in its functioning. The whole hepatic circulation, then, becomes involved in the condition, as does the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexuses in the sympathetic system, for these, in their attempt to create the equilibrium, produce the excessive forces, as is shown in conditions as exhibited in capillary circulation and in the excretions as thrown from the body through portions of the system as show this excess of this condition.

11. In the portion of the body as is exercised by the mesenteric forces, inflammation is often created by the lack of the eliminations in body; this producing an excess in the functioning of kidneys and in the drosses as is left in body through the non-functioning of the forces as is supplied in the sympathetic system.

12. Then, to assist the body in gaining its normal equilibrium, add to those vibrations as is set in motion by the mental forces of body, those stimulations as would be found in the general deep manipulation, exercised by osteopathic forces in a general muscular relaxation of body, to allow the vibrations to become nearer equalized and coordinating throughout the whole system, especially increasing that in the solar plexus center as to give a normal flow through the whole of the hypogastric circulation, relaxing liver in its excretory functioning. This should be done nominally. That is, in a manner that will not excite the influences of the tension in nerve system to over-flood the circulation in the secondary cardiac forces, nor excite the lung’s action to the overflow of blood through the pulmonary reflexes in their action, preventing, through this relaxation, the carotid artery of taking on too much of blood flow in system, reducing, however, those pressures in the portion of body wherein the exercising of locomotories gives the excess capillary circulation. With this we would keep the vibration of Alpine Ray to clarify blood flow and create in nerve and blood system the inclination and incentive to become corroborative in their eliminating through the proper channels of the excretory system, not causing any one to be over burdened at any specific or given time, as does occur at times in the body at present.

13. Taking then at least eight to twelve such osteopathic treatments, and at least six to eight of the three to fifteen minute rays treatment from such Alpine Rays, keeping mental forces active, and we will find gradually these expressions and manifestations as come to the body through the mental forces of same, in the exercising of the increased functioning of sensory system, may be crystallized into forms giving that as the nature of the presentation of that closest to the mental attributes of body to exercise spiritual forces in a material world.

14. We are through.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 8/5/25 “Husband divorced me to marry another.”

R2. 8/5/25 [5329]‘s letter: “Reading is quite accurate so far as I am able to judge, and it is a relief to know what causes unusual condition in the nerves of hands and knees. I already feel a force correcting liver. I do intend to take treatment.”

R3. 8/16/25 “I have delayed writing, thinking my hands would improve. The reading was a most extraordinary one and while my condition seems rather alarming, it shows that there is only little that is the matter with me…it is a case of ‘Physician heal thyself’… Everybody likes to lean on me. At one time I did have great influence over sick people.”

R4. 10/3/25 “I have been sending the document [reading] around to different doctors, seeing if there was one broad-minded enough to wish to give me the treatment. I thought that if good results were obtained, others might be helped…no one is able to get out of the little groove he is in. I get better results from a direct sun bath than from rays. I have been trying to locate a reliable osteopath and it is only today that I think I have succeeded. Took chiropractic in lieu of the other until I could get dependable treatment, but will give it up as it shocks my nervous system too much.”

R5. 5/11/45 [5329] requesting a life reading, not knowing that EC had passed on: “I am sure I can be helped tremendously by a ‘life’ reading; can rid my body and mind of some of the disharmony… You requested a case report of myself. I had arthritis, bilious attacks for years, sclerosis iritis, and rheumatic heart. I wrote to EC in Dayton, Ohio, in 1925 - he told me I had an engorged liver - gave no treatment. Stated that there was a possibility I would give spiritual enlightenment to others - gave no details. This is all.”

R6. 4/11/49 Report requested by GD, and rec’d 6/13/49 as follows: “Took treatments from Sprague Institute, N.Y.C. Do not know if company is still in existence. Gave steam baths along with Alpine Ray. Was too enervating. Quit after ten treatments.

“Had sterilized milk injections for sclerosis iritis caused by rheumatism, at Eye Hospital, 2nd Avenue. Helped but last treatment gave me shock, so doctors gave no more.

“Osteopath (forgot his name) after treatments told me to consult an M.D.

“I take calomel 2 or 3 times a year for bilious attacks. Does more than the doctors for me.

“After reading ‘LIGHTED PASSAGE’ by H. L. Vincent I joined the Order of the New Covenant. Pray to heal others, but know of no cures, but I feel confident I am helping myself.

“Went to a spiritualist…he told me EC was helping me from the spirit side of life for my condition of circulation, as he said. It was true I had swollen extremities from fluid. I had not asked him about my condition. Since then this condition has entirely disappeared.

“I regret very much that I did not get may check reading. I am still badly crippled from arthritis. Though ailing, I am quite active.”

R7. 1/26/50 Report by Helen Wenzel, worker for E.C.F. campaign: “Called at home 1/8. Spoke to Mrs. [5329]. Has very little income but contributed $3. Thinks work is very important - wishes she could give more… Told me she’s 3 score years and 10 plus (didn’t look it) and didn’t know if she’d be here very long. Has arthritis. When had reading was going blind in left eye. Said reading didn’t help much with arthritis but seemed to have stopped eye from going completely blind. Told her about arthritis extracts but feels it’s too late to do much. Does own metaphysical work with healing lights. Saved all Mind Digests and re-reads Cayce extracts. Offered to send her some Searchlights but says she doesn’t read too much and has a great deal that she wants to read. A nice soul.”

R8. 10/18/52 Comment by D. H. Fogel, M.D. (heart specialist):

Patient [5329] states rheumatic heart disease. EC says no organic heart disease.

R9. 7/18/69 Mme. Zadah Guerin’s ltr.: “My husband [J. F. McCaffrey, D.C.] just passed away last month, and as I was going thru some of his papers or files I came across a letter signed by Edgar Cayce and a ‘reading’ for a Mrs. [5329] on 7/30/25, one of my husband’s patients.”

Background

Background

B1. 7/21/25 Letter: “Through a friend I heard of you, and so peculiar and baffling is my condition that I would like you to send me instructions as to how I can get you to treat me. I am being treated metaphysically and the improvement is marked, yet not fast enough. So I feel that I may be lacking in some quality necessary for a recovery and so need the material aid, too.”

B2. 7/25/25 “I go into the silence every day trying to seek the divine, and will try to have the appointed hour free for that purpose.”
