This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 24th day of June, 1930, in accordance with request made by self - Mrs. [5527].

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

Time of Reading 3:55 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Virginia. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find there are specific conditions as cause distresses in the physical forces of the body, and the effects as these conditions produce in system have much to do with the general disturbance as is exhibited at times in various portions of the body. By the application of things, or of CONDITIONS, to or FOR the EFFECTS, only bring temporary - or little relief positive for the body.

2. The conditions, as we find, have to do with disturbances as have been produced by congestion in the organs of the pelvis, and the pressure produced there more by that of adhesions, and the results have been those of a form of prolapsus and of congestion in the descending colon. These are RESULTS from those contractions and lesions forming, for with thickening of tissue through adhesion, LESIONS - that PRODUCE irritation - are the result in THIS condition, Mrs. [5527] we are speaking of. The effects are those at times of distresses to the lower extremities, when the limbs - especially if body on feet much - as of some swelling, especially in the late evening; of the feeling of a pulsation along the inside, or along the inferior nerves as follow the sciatic; the nausea as comes at times after eating. These are reflexes, and NOT causes. The headaches and dullness, in feeling stretchy through the shoulders, with pains through the lower portion of the right shoulder blade at times, and up to the back of neck. These are also reflexes from the pressure as produced in the ganglia of the lumbar and lower portion of the dorsal region.

3. In meeting the needs of the condition, to make for PERMANENT relief, would require that the body - for at least some WEEKS - rest considerable, WHILE those lesions and adhesions are BEING broken up; using those of the osteopathic manipulation and adjustments FOLLOWING the application of HEAT to the lumbar and dorsal and sacral region; also using those of the colonic irrigations as to remove the distresses as occur in colon; using some LOCAL applications in those conditions existent in rectum, also through the pelvic organs. These would only be a PORTION of the applications - the local ones. There should be the relieving of the acidity as forms from irritation, especially in the lymphatic circulation, and of the vegetative system - nerve system. These, as we find, would RELIEVE those distresses, and bring for a nearer NORMAL condition of the body.

4. We would also apply, at least TWICE each week, those of the short ray or vibration of the sinusoidal, that makes for contractions in nerve plexus; using same - one anode in the 5th to 6th dorsal, the other in the 3rd and 4th lumbar.

5. These, we find, would bring the nearer normal conditions for this body. Do that.

6. For the acidity, we would use those in the form of oil and agar, or Petrolagar - the non-acid, or the alkalin character. Also we would use those in the food values that are rather of the muscular and of the nerve building. We are through for the present.

B1. 10/2/29 Letter: ”…Will you kindly arrange to give me an earlier appointment? I would not ask this of you, but I am in such poor health, and expect to go to some hospital in the near future. If you find it at all possible, please let me hear from you…”

B2. GD’s note: She had written in September, 1929, for an appointment. On 10/10/29 EC wrote telling her that if she could come to Cayce Hospital he could get her reading sooner. On 10/15/29 she wrote that it was impossible to come to the Cayce Hospital and she would keep the December 10th appointment.

B3. 12/6/29 Letter: ”…On account of important business I will be at …, Ohio, on the date assigned for my reading. I may find it difficult to be alone at that time, so if those conditions are not consistent for a satisfactory reading, kindly give me another appointment. However, if the presence of others in the room with me at the time of reading does not interfere with results, I shall be very glad to keep the date of December 10th.

“My special questions are regarding my physical condition, and if possible the knowledge of my receiving justice in the litigation in which I am involved. What method would be wise to follow to obtain my rights?…”

B4. 12/12/29 EC wrote that he had been unable to keep her appointment due to being ill himself and asked if she could arrange to come to Virginia Beach in the near future for the appointment.

B5. 2/20/30 Letter: ”…I shall be detained in Ohio until after March 17th. If you find it possible to give me a reading before that date I shall be glad to hear from you to that effect, but if you do not find it convenient I shall be obliged to wait until some future time.

“Kindly give me any information you can in regards to this litigation in which I am interested…”

B6. 2/25/30 GD’s letter: ”…Under the circumstances we feel it would be better to wait until you come to Virginia Beach before giving your reading. It is impossible to mix business questions with a physical reading, and we feel that you do not understand enough regarding the work to know just what kind of reading you desire. We felt in the beginning you wished a physical reading.

“So, we will wait and take the matter up with you when you return. Please let us hear from you in regard to this as soon as you return to Virginia…”

B7. 6/5/30 Letter: ”…I have returned to …, Virginia, for a short length of time, and trust you will be able to give me an appointment within this month. Kindly advise me at your earliest convenience. It is a physical reading I am desirous of having…”

B8. 6/11/30 Letter: ”…There seems to be some misunderstanding with regards my appointment for a reading. I was informed that you gave such readings at a distance and in my case it will not be convenient for me to come to Virginia Beach, as I am leaving in a short time for an extensive journey. This appointment has been pending for so great a time, and conditions seem to delay it even longer. I am of the opinion, if it is impossible to give me a reading this month at my present address, kindly return my money and consider the appointment closed…”

B9. 6/18/30 EC’s letter: ”…It was my understanding, Mrs. [5527], when we wrote you that it was your intention to come to Virginia Beach whenever we could make this appointment. That’s why we wrote you as we did, and we feel it is so much better when an individual is present - but, if it is impossible for you to come, and if the Lord is willing and if my physical strength permits, we will make it on the afternoon of the 24th. Send us a list of questions you wish asked, and give us the address at which you will be from 3:00 to 5:00 P.M. on that day…”

B10. 6/20/30 Letter: ”…Thank you for your appointment of June 24th… I shall be at … Apartments at …, Virginia, from 3:00 to 5:00 on that day. I desire a physical reading, and am most anxious to learn the cause of my suffering in left side of abdomen and poor health in general…”
