This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 28th day of August, 1929, in accordance with request made by her aunt, Mrs. [310].

[Edgar Cayce; L. B. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Misses Lena Francis and Mildred Davis.]

Time of Reading 11:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Tenn. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5474]. Now, we find there are abnormal conditions for this body. These are of a specific nature, yet the effect as is produced by the affectation is of such a nature as to cause distresses in other portions of the physical organism.

2. Now, these conditions, as we find, are an example of how these may be corrected, in more than one manner, and the ordinary way of undertaking such would be by operation - yet, as we find, with this body, conditions are such that much better results may be obtained by other means, and the results will be of much more satisfactory nature than were operation - or operations, as it would be in this case - resorted to, for the conditions are of the nature that they will respond to other treatments. While it would possibly take a few weeks longer to accomplish this, yet the results will be so MUCH more satisfactory from EVERY standpoint, that WE would not even consider same except as a LAST resort, and WE see that - were the corrections begun in the PROPER manner, and the conditions and changes followed closely, these would not EVER be necessary.

3. Now, the specific conditions have to do with the functioning of the organs, especially of the pelvis organs, and of conditions as have had to do with results produced in digestive system, in the whole of the system as related to assimilations and as related to the nerve system of the body. The suffering [is] produced by lesions and adhesions. Adhesions, ORDINARILY, refer to tissue becoming adhered to other tissue, or organs becoming so inflamed (as in this condition) that, with the system attempting to adjust itself to the NEEDS of conditions, adhere tissue in such a way as to PRODUCE for the system those conditions that become then such as is seen here - adhesions or lesions form from adhesions. Both conditions exist. These also disturb the eliminating, especially as relative to that of the colon and that portion of the colon as has to do with the vermiform appendage, or the appendix, and the appendix region. These, necessarily produce taxation to kidneys, to the organs of the pelvis themselves, a drain upon the nervous system, a taxation to the blood supply. While sufficient VITALITY still remains, yet why destroy such with etherization as would come to the central nervous system, would it be found necessary, or would the operation be resorted to.

4. Rather, then, by manipulations, osteopathically given, where CORRECTIONS would be made, and where the placement of organs and of the tissue as involved would be LOCALLY treated in such a way and manner as to give relief to the body through the proper channels, and the system absorbing, throwing off, breaking up the adhesions, breaking up the lesions and tissue and organs becoming the normal functioning of same, through the system adjusting itself vibratorially through the nerve supply and through the blood forces as would become normal for all CHARACTER of eliminations for the body.

5. Then, we would do this under the supervision where such information as is necessary for the changes that occur may be followed closely. Do that. We are through with this reading.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 9/23/29 Letter: ”…The reading you so kindly gave me was duly received; it contains some real surprises, and personally some of the ideas are so new to me that I have to think much about it. Of course, you understand how all of us human kind feel about our family physician, so since hearing from you I have been to see him, and, as he still is rather decided in his diagnosis, I am taking the privilege of a personal letter. Having talked quite intimately with my aunt [310] of your work, I know your experiences have been many and that possibly you could give me in a personal letter some definite suggestions for carrying out the reading. I confess feeling absolutely lost as to the future; so many doctors of various kinds and practices are here, as everywhere, that I am coming to you for any other help you may give. If you may know of …, [Tennessee] doctor who is the one for me to see, I shall very much appreciate this information…”

R2. 9/20/29 GD’s note: Aunt [310]‘s letter: ”…She [5474] writes that she has very recently seen her doctor and he insists that tonsils ought to come out - the sooner the better. Her physical condition is causing her parents to keep her out of school, but she is planning maybe on entering after Christmas…”

Mrs. [310] thought EC should encourage her to come to Cayce Hospital to carry out the treatment.

R3. 9/30/29 and 10/4/29 EC wrote Mrs. [310] and Miss [5474], suggesting it would be best for her to come to Cayce Hospital to get the proper treatment.

R4. 11/7/29 EC made an appointment for Miss [5474]‘s Father, [4788], and again suggested that she come to Virginia Beach and he would get the reading for the father [4788] while they were both present.

R5. 3/3/30 Mrs. [310]‘s letter: ”…As to our big brother [4788], I think he and [5474] just let time get their would-be plans and she entered school at … college, …, Virginia, in January. I have no idea that [4788] plans now to see you in Virginia Beach, so knowing the situation (yours and his too) as I do, I think I would give him a definite date for his reading. In the meantime insist that he visit you and the Institution at his earliest convenience…”

R6. 9/15/30 EC gave the first physical reading for [4788], who was present for the reading. Appointment was made by wife for second physical for Miss [5474].

R7. 9/24/30 EC gave the second reading - 5474-2.
