[Edgar Cayce; Mildred Davis, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. L. B. Cayce.]

Time of Reading 3:25 to 3:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Va. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [533]; this we have had before.

2. As we find, conditions are much improved from that we have had before. While in the present this is somewhat temporary, and there will be reactions when he will apparently go back somewhat, this will be more from indiscretions - if we judge by the appearances that we find surrounding the body in the present.

3. But, we would keep in a systematic and prayerful manner those administrations which we have suggested, until there is again a better reaction. Not necessary that the first application suggested be kept up [the aconite and laudanum to relieve pain], but continue the packs over the liver, the pancreas, the whole right side, and the manipulations.

4. Do not be overanxious about the eating, but keep those as given and preferably a liquid and semi-liquid diet. Citrus fruit juices, to be sure, may be added now, but keep that indicated in the arrowroot and junket. Beef juices may also be added occasionally.

5. As soon as the body feels sufficient strength it may continue with those treatments by going to the offices of the one osteopath] who administers them, but don’t be OVERACTIVE until there is sufficient of those conditions broken up as we have indicated. Remember, when the manipulations are given properly and these adhesions are loosened - if the packs ar applied properly - with overactivity or overexertion there may be produced such inflammation as to make the after effects even more severe. But while these are on the improve, keep them in that direction.

6. Ready for questions.

7. (Q) Was the osteopathic treatment correctly given? (A) Very good. Necessary that these be gradually changed as conditions improve. As the one making the applications will find, the cohesions (that is, a closing of the intestinal tract itself in the caecum area), adhesions and lesions (that is, those tendencies for the intestines and the sac or covering of the intestines to adhere to the side or to the body itself) will be RELEASED by the applications of those properties in the packs as given. NOW, should the circulation be set in motion by the manipulations from those centers in the cerebrospinal system, using the structural portion of the body as levers, to cause activity in the areas of the lymph and emunctory circulation in all portions, as well as the superficial and capillary circulation, we will find the body will - as we have given - be rid of these conditions. Do that.

8. (Q) How many more osteopathic treatments should he take? (A) How many more? What are you talking about! Whether it’s a thousand or what, give what is necessary to bring about the proper conditions! As we find, there should be in the neighborhood of thirty-six treatments before we would be through - but they may be distributed over three months or three years, dependent upon how the body cares for self. Use judgements! Consistency! Thy name is not - to many! Be CONSISTENT!

9. (Q) Should he take enemas? If so, with what? (A) If necessary. As given, these must be consistent with those things necessary to bring about the conditions suggested as being existent. If taken, use to a gallon of water a level teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonsful of baking soda - or bicarbonate of soda. In the last water used put at LEAST a tablespoonful of oil, or Petrolagar, stirred in same, that it may leave the activity of elasticity in the intestinal area itself - and relieve the activity of crustations. Do not FORCE these too much. It would be rather gravity, than by pressure.

10. (Q) Any further suggestion for proper eliminations? (A) Do these, and then if others are necessary we will suggest ‘em!

11. (Q) How long should he continue to take junket and arrowroot? (A) Whether it’s a week, month, or a thousand years, what difference - if it does for the body that necessary! Hasn’t it just been given to use consistency with the conditions, to bring about those things necessary for the body in making the correction! Learn to ask the questions; whoever is asking these doesn’t know very much about it! [Questions submitted over phone by family via E. W.]

12. (Q) Will the body be able to do heavy work again? (A) If he gets well, he may do it again; if he doesn’t, he’ll do heavy work anyhow!

13. (Q) If so, when should he be able to do any work? (A) When he gets well, or when he dies either one - because they’ll both be very heavy!

14. (Q) Any further advice for this body’s betterment? (A) Keep those things as CONSISTENCIES in the experiences and activities of the body, for the necessary corrections as outlined. Not only as for those which may be administered by self in its diet, in its physical activities of the body, but in relationships with those making the physical applications in correction - be consistent!

15. We are through with this reading. [See 533-2, Par. R1.]

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 4/16/34 Immediately following 533-2 EC gave 534-1 for a case of leukemia.

R2. 5/4/34 Letter from EC to [440]: ”…Recently we gave a reading for a young man whom the doctors said must have an operation if he [533] was to live, but they didn’t know whether or not he would be able to stand the operation. Since forty-eight hours after the reading he has been constantly on the improve, with following the reading suggestions, and hasn’t had an operation. Now the most skeptical of the doctors say he may get along alright…”

R3. 5/10/34 Mother, Mrs. [1409], submitted questions, saying:

“[533] wants to thank all concerned for this marvelous help given him. He is singing in bed and making those around him very, very happy.”

R4. 5/11/34 Letter from EC to Mr. [442]: ”…I received in the morning mail this report from a mother in Norfolk (and this reading was also given about a month ago): ‘My son wants [533] to thank all concerned for the marvellous help given him. He is singing in bed and making those around him very, very happy.’ The doctors in Norfolk had said there was no possible cure without an operation, and that immediately. The reading insisted that if he would respond to certain applications, which could be told within forty-eight hours, there would be no necessity for the operation. Now the doctors agree that he is getting along fine and that it will not be necessary for an operation. They don’t know what it is, but IT WORKS!”

R5. 5/15/34 See 533-3.
