This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 105th Street & Ocean, Virginia Beach, Va., this 6th day of October, 1931, in accordance with request made by self - Mr. [5420].

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

Time of Reading 3:55 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5420] - this we have had before. As we find, there are changes in the physical functioning of the body since last we had same here. There are SPECIFIC conditions as cause the disorders with the physical functioning body. These, as we find, are the formation or mucus in the colon itself, produced by engorgement or plethora as exists in the turn between the ascending and transverse colon; this is from the form of digestion as has existed lately in the body, and produces irritation as of blind pile in the rectum, breaking out on the scrotum, and portions of the body have that irritation as a rash. Well that the circulation, attempting to eliminate conditions, act in the present manner, but well TOO that these be CORRECTED in the present, that the refuse and the activity of the mucus in the colon does not produce ORGANIC disorders in the hepatic circulation, or that those in the lower portion of the rectum do not become of such a nature as to be chronic, or produce folds that make for irritation - that produces swelling.

2. These, as we find, may be eliminated best by the use of the high colonics, and with the activity of antiseptics as may be used in same, or with same, in these corrections. We would take TWO irrigations, at least, in the first week. FOLLOWING the irrigation we would have the general MASSAGE as may be given with same. These, we find, may be given by those activities as have been given to the body before - in those of Reilly’s treatments, see? Do not have the salt rub or glow, but those of the OIL rubs would be well after that of not TOO high a temperature brought to the body; for the tendency will be to produce too MUCH of an elimination, causing MORE irritation TO that of the lymph circulation - or to the CAPILLARY circulation also. Ready for questions.

3. In taking the irrigations, we would find that two in the first week should be taken - then one every TWO weeks, until three or four are taken, should be sufficient to eliminate.

4. Beware of any condiments or stimuli of ANY nature for the digestive system while these are being taken. Best that the diet be that of a well balanced diet, that rather easy of digestion - or, for the next two weeks, rather as this:

5. Mornings - fruit juices, or cereals, with a drink, or dry toast. Do not have cereals and fruit juices together. These may be also changed to those of stewed fruits, or the like.

6. Noons - the vegetable broth, or the meat broth, with a green vegetable salad, and a light repast in any of the pastries - provided these are not those that carry high seasoning with same.

7. Evenings - there may be taken the whole vegetable diet, with SMALL quantities of the meats, or that that gives vitality and strength to the system.

8. We are through with this reading.
