This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce in Hopkinsville, Ky., this 16th day of June, 1911.

[Edgar Cayce; L. B. Cayce, Conductor; (?), Steno.]

Time of Reading 4:30 P. M. …, Ohio.

1. LBC: You have before you, Mrs. [5529], of …, Ohio. Go over her carefully, examine her thoroughly, and tell us what is the matter with her, if anything.

2. EC: She is a neurasthenic. It affects her in a very peculiar way, especially to the expression or impression it makes through the sensory system, or the sensory organism in the system of the body. It affects her through the mental - a great deal of mental worry - and action on to the thought and expressions of thought themselves, and from the condition of the liver in itself, in its power of eliminating the used forces. The secretions are very good; the excretions not so good. Of course, it affects it through the same forces, through that of the nervous force, through the opposite pole of the kidneys. We have a lack of red blood, - hemoglobin - in the blood. More of the white, as shown from the color of the skin, the exterior portions, as in anemic patients, we have this only showing itself, in the expression through that of the lymphatic circulation, expression and suppression through the force of capillary circulation in the body. Pains to the head at times, through the forces, or lack of the force to eliminate through that of the power of the splenic force, on action to the brain proper. There is a general debility. Sick all over. Sometime through the liver, and other times through the stomach, and again suffering with the small of the back and spine. Again through the extremities and lower limbs become heavy. The tissue of the matter in itself that is, through the sympathetic circulation, or that of the hepatics (the lymphatic circulation through the hepatics) produce or carry more of the water fluid in the blood, at times becoming of a watery nature, showing itself through that of the circulation, forming splotches over the body, especially on the extremities here.

3. The power or impressions to itself, through the sensory system, has become weak, dilapidated, through that of a nervous shock here, at sometime before, sometime back, which has produced and brought about most of the condition we have in the system.

4. (Q) Any other troubles you see? (A) We have a good many different sort of troubles through the body, coming at different times through the system, and more of this humor or inflammation carried through it.

5. (Q) What treatment would you prescribe to relieve this condition? (A) Need more treatment to self than we need anything else.

6. (Q) You mean self-control? (A) Now we have in the body, as we have here of Mrs. [5529] an organism to the physical, mental and abnormal self or those through the circulation, muscular and nervous force in the body. The brain in the head is the seat of all the motion we have through the normal conscious self. The rack of the sensory system, or as we have had this shock to this body, through the nervous force, it shows itself through the whole system in the ends or points where it picks up to carry impressions through that of the force in the power of matter in itself. The circulation, as it lies interlateral with the nerve and muscular force in the system, picks up, or uses more of the force, as we have through the white blood in the system, to supply to the cellular force to rebuild the nerve force to any organs in the body, through passing through the walls or form of absorption, instead of the regular channels in the tissue, as we have through that of building muscles or the frame in the body.

In the taking up or expression of these forces, we have in the neurasthenic, which is a form of nervous disease, or trouble over the system, forming itself into channels and distributing themselves through the different parts of the body at different times, producing this form of anemia, through that of the blood, or lack of red blood to replenish to the forces or power or elimination of the forces as we show through the liver, which is the eliminating power or force in the body.

In the expression of these forces, through this (that is, through the nervous condition) we bring about, or produce the troubles we have in this body, here, now. A lack of self-control through that of the sensory system, or power over self to gain self-control, brings about, or forces on the body, most of the ailments we have in the self, or the power of self-control.

To improve or eliminate these properties, of course, we have to treat both through the sensory system or gain control over self, and through the nervous system, or build to the nervous system so we can gain control over self, or through the form or electrical forces applied to the body to act directly through the electrical forces which is the nerve in the body. The same action as we have in these forces, applied to rebuild the properties, until we can gain control over self. We apply here from the 9th dorsal, which is at the solar plexus, a low form or that which we have in electroid or electropoise. The action of these forces to these conditions, brings about a low form of vibrating or taking up of the ends of matter or forces - nerve end - until as it were, we soothe the body to sleep. After sleep put it to the ankle and let it stay there until we wake up.

We will suppress this form of catarrhal condition through the intestines. The same condition, you see.

Keep at all times into the system, as much water as can drink. Bathe the body as often as twice a day. One time hot and one time tepid water. That is, get away from the pores or bring out more to the extremities the portions of used forces to eliminate through these properties, as well as that of the dross and kidneys and pulmonaries.

Take no medicine into the stomach except that through the form of mild action on to the liver in itself. Not through that of excitement to the mucus coating of the stomach or intestines.

It will be slow but the body will be improved if she will hold power over herself, or will have to give it to someone else to hold it through that of subconscious control.

My dear Mrs. [5529],

Replying to yours of the 5th, I have to confess I don’t quite understand. The membership to the Association does not incur any work whatever on the part of the member - merely that the member may have the advantage of receiving all of the data as is compiled by the study of the phenomena that is being investigated by the Association. If you are still in very poor health, we shall be very glad to try and be of help if possible. Of course, you know more about that than we do, but we shall be very glad to hear from you if you feel that we can be of service.
