This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 22nd day of April, 1930, in accordance with request made by self - Mr. [5475] via Mrs. Morris Rome and Mr. David E. Kahn.

(New York, N.Y.) Time of Reading Cayce Hospital, 11:20 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. Virginia Beach, Va. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5475]. Now, in the physical forces of the body we find there are disturbances that bring to the physical activities of the physical and mental body reactions that distort the activities from their normal functioning. These have to do principally with the nervous systems, and the effect these conditions produce upon the physical organisms of the body.

2. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [5475] we are speaking of, present in this room:

3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY OF THE BODY, this, we will find, would not be in accord with normal conditions; neither would we find that the tests of the condition being the same were they made in different times, or even different periods of the same day. In their reactions the variations would be.

4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEMS, we find the basis or the seat, or the cause of the troubles.

5. In the study of the pathological conditions, these would be interesting - especially to a psychiatrist, or to a psychoanalyst; for the EFFECTS created are of the neurotic or PHYSICAL reaction, rather than of wholly a psychopathic condition. Then, the pathology would be, that there is obstruction in the reactions in incentives received to the sympathetic and sensory system, in their proper return of the same vibrations to the functioning of the organs in the system, as is attempted to be given by the reaction of the mental body to that outside itself. Not, then, wholly a mental condition; not, then, wholly the physical condition, but that inter-between wherein, unless changes ARE brought, MUST bring destructive forces to the mental body and the physical body in its last analysis; yet taken, and consideration given to each in its activity to the physical functionings of the body, this may be brought to where the physical reactions will coordinate throughout the system. The centers particularly involved are those of the solar plexus and the secondary cardiac. Hence those effects of the pressures at times to the head, and the reaction to the extremities, wherein the circulation seems - or apparently is - cut off from same, through the inability of the return of the blood supply as is carried to various portions of the system. Also there is seen, that the tendency of dizziness as comes from those pressures as are produced in the solar plexus, those reactions as come to the tendency of nausea, as comes from the hypogastric and the pneumogastric effect in the reactions of the nerve system, attempting to bring about coordination between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal system. Too little importance is too often given by those who would aid in bringing a normal force for a body suffering under even dementia, that relationship between the sympathetic and the cerebro-spinal nervous systems; for in almost every condition - even as in this - there is found that the centers from which the radial forces of impulse by reaction of the mental body - that is, the SENSORY system - to the sympathetic forces, in those centers where they connect with the cerebro-spinal - the cerebro-spinal, then, in as the brain’s reaction to the PHYSICAL, or the MATERIAL body; while those of the SYMPATHETIC system are more those of the reaction to the MENTAL being, or the MENTAL body; these MUST coordinate, that the reactions in a PHYSICAL body bring about the proper reactions.

6. In the accord, as these conditions in this body bring to the physical functionings, as we find here in the brain forces, there are hindrances to the reaction as is brought in the functioning of the coordinating, or that of the impulse being governed to the brain center itself - or, if we would term it in common parlance, the VALVES are leaking in the brain centers for this body. Not dementia, no - but at the base of the brain, through the medulla oblongata, there is a lesion forming. RID the body first of this! That at the 1st and 2nd cervical. Where does same receive its impulses? That in the 2nd DORSAL center, where those of the secondary cardiacs react. Hence the variation in impulses through the circulation, the variation as comes to the reaction of the digestive system, the variation in the reactions as come to all organisms. Has it been considered by the body as to the variations that come to the genitive system through that reaction that has appeared in this? These come, then, through that of the pineal, and its effect to the body.

7. Then, in bringing about normalcy for the body, this may be brought - but a GREATER portion of that as is to take place in the system must be accomplished by itself! though it should be, and must be, guided and aided by outside influences, as will have material effect upon the physical, mental, and the ACTIVITIES of same in this body.

8. Then, we would REST at stated periods. Make for the body that of a SYSTEMATIC reaction. So many hours of rest; so many hours of this exercise; so many hours of that exercise, as will affect the mental, as will affect the physical, and keep - through the proper manipulation, especially considering those centers in the upper cervical, those in the upper dorsal and the solar plexus region - as to bring COORDINATIONS in their reaction. Not that ADJUSTMENTS, no - but that the massaging and the using of the physical body, and the structural portions, as leverages, that we release the ganglia and the centers through which impulses to the system are carried to the various functionings of the system, and we will find that we will BRING the near NORMAL reactions in the body.

9. These, we would find, would be helpful - that the body would rest in sand - salty sand - in water. Low vibrations in electrical reactions, that coordination is brought to the system. Ready for questions.

10. (Q) What electrical treatment should be given? (A) This would be well to alter or to change in the various reactions set up. The reactions to the capillary stimulation would be those of the plain violet ray, and especially those in the bottom of the feet, along the sciatic and along the brachial centers. THESE will aid. These will bring renewed vitality to this portion of the system. The deeper THERAPY will be helpful. These, especially, should be applied to solar plexus and to the 1st and 2nd cervical center.

11. (Q) How should the sand treatment be given, and where? (A) Where there’s plenty of salt and sand. This would be well in the present districts, for the body should be wet - then buried in dry sand.

12. (Q) Is the case curable? If so, approximately how long? (A) Curable, sure - it’s curable! How long? How hard will the body NOT try, but just get well!

13. (Q) What diet? (A) That, that will be the near balance between the activities of the acid and the alkalin; NOT an over alkalin, not an over acid - but a WELL BALANCED diet. Balanced according to the amount of physical and mental exertion as is expended, and supply those needs as will build UP that used.

Small quantities of Chloride of Gold given, will aid the body also. This would be well, were it added WITH an essence of Wild Ginseng, made in this proportion - but be able to take care of the conditions this will create! The action to the GENITIVE system, the action to the lyden [Leydig] glands - which will NEED attention, as given. Then, we would prepare same as this: Prepare separate, but take together. Chloride of Gold 10 grains to 8 ounces of DISTILLED water. The wild ginseng 2 ounces to 16 ounces of water, and reduced to 8 ounces by slow boiling - boiling same in containers that are covered, and when taken - take in half glass of water 3 drops of the Gold solution and 4 drops of the Wild Ginseng. We are through for the present.

B1. 4/3/30 [5475]‘s ltr. to EC:

Edgar Cayce Esq., % Cayce Hospital, Virginia Beach, Virginia

Dear Sir:-

Upon the recommendation of Mrs. Morris Rome, I am writing to acquaint you with my physical condition in order that you may advise me whether it is desirable that I be admitted to your Institution for treatment.

For the past few years I have been suffering from a nervous condition and have received no relief whatsoever. At the outset, I want to say that I am not psychopathic but simply a neurasthenia case. I attribute my present physical condition to a severe shock of financial reverses which occurred several years ago, as well as domestic affairs.

I have five children who are dependent upon me and this obligation has more than aggravated my condition. Presently, I find myself in a state where I simply must leave this City for a change of environment and proper treatment, but before I can think of doing this, I feel that it is necessary to tell you that in order to do this I will be compelled to obligate myself financially and cannot assume the burden of paying more that $25.00 per week. I am not familiar with your minimum rates but if it is possible to be admitted into your Hospital for the amount mentioned, I would be very anxious to go to Virginia Beach in the hope that I will be cured through your efforts.

May I ask your courtesy to advise me by return mail whether or not you would recommend my being in your care under existing circumstances.

Appreciating an early reply, I remain

Very truly yours, [5475]

B2. 4/8/30 EC’s ltr. to [5475]:

Mr. [5475] …, N.Y.

Dear Mr. [5475]:

Replying to yours of the 3rd, it’s an impossibility for me to conscientiously advise you regarding your physical welfare unless we had the information concerning same through the sources from which our treatments at the hospital are directed. However, you may look over the data I am sending you and decide for yourself as to whether you want to make application for membership to the Association or not. As you will see, only members of the Association are admitted to the hospital. We THEN can make the arrangements to suit your own convenience and circumstance, for it is to be of SERVICE TO the suffering, physically and mentally, that the Association is organized, and NOT as a money making or money grabbing institution. If we find, through the information, that it is NOT advisable for you to come to the hospital, we certainly will NOT advise you to spend one penny in that direction.

We would ask you, then, through your own self, and through the influence you may have had from your acquaintance or friendship with Mrs. Rome, to make your own decision in the matter.

Hoping and trusting that we may be of service, I am

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

B3. 4/19/30 Wire to EC:

Many thanks for your letters. On Mrs. Rome’s advice communicated with Mr. David E. Kahn who suggested I leave N.Y. for your institution on Friday. However, was unable to make reservations for that day by boat, therefore leaving Saturday and will arrive at Virginia Beach Sunday morning.

B4. 4/22/30 Patient entered Cayce Hospital to be treated for “Neurosis - first apparent 4 and 1/2 years ago; previous treatment therefore medical and electric - hospital.”
