This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 29th day of August, 1929, in accordance with request made by self - Mrs. [5657].

[Edgar Cayce; L. B. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Crowd of people.]

Time of Reading 3:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Ohio. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we find the body here, [5657]. Now, we find there are those conditions as disturb the physical functioning of this body, that may be corrected in such a manner as where the body may be aided in becoming nearer physically normal. These have to do with the eliminations of the system, and the manner these conditions affect the various functioning of organs and the relationship, especially, to locomotion.

2. These, then, are conditions as we find them in this body, [5657], we are speaking of:

3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, here we find evidences of conditions wherein the eliminations have been, and are, so involved and disturbed as to cause returning to the system and distributed in various portions of the body, as in joints, sinew, muscular, those of the poisons that should be eliminated through alimentary canal or kidneys. This, as we find, shows in the evidence of the constituents of the blood itself, as related to the character of the red and of the white cell in their relations one to another.

4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, here we find distresses. These are more from SYMPATHETIC conditions, or from pressure being caused in extremities and in locomotaries, as in the lower lumbar - also those in the upper dorsal or brachial, which produce those distresses through arm, shoulder, head, as WELL as OTHER conditions that are acting with those forces as produce disturbance in the sympathetic and the sensory system, causing distresses for the nerves as aid in carrying energy for the central nerve force, as related to the organs of hearing.

5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, in head or brain forces very good, considering development, or conditions of the body.

6. The sensory organism, as given, under the stress of conditions existent, or pressure produced in the upper cervical and upper dorsal region. Also those conditions in the throat. These are rather sympathetic. Lungs good. Heart’s action not normal; at times above normal in pulsation, again shows below normal. A pressure, naturally, produced in the system through the condition existent in the eliminations of the system. Not an organic heart condition.

7. Digestive system, naturally, shows the effects of the torpidity produced in liver and in the hepatic circulation, and the disturbance between the liver and kidneys the cause of the seat, or that condition through which the vibrations may be changed to bring any relief that would be of a permanent nature to this body, [5657] we are speaking of.

8. Now, to meet the needs of the conditions of this system, first we would use that which would add to the system those of the sufficient elements producing vibration in the various portions of the system, as to produce a vibratory force through which the body may be BUILDED to where the vitality, or vital forces OF the body, may be aided to build nominally for the system.

9. We would, then, give first this: Prepare in this manner, adding the properties in the way as given:

10. To 1/2 gallon of distilled water, add:

Sarsaparilla Root…2 ounces, Dogwood Bark…2 ounces, Mandrake Root…1 dram, Buchu leaves…1/2 ounce, Elder flower…2 ounces.

Reduce this by slow boiling or simmering to 1 quart. Strain, and while warm add 2 ounces of grain alcohol, in which 3 drams Balsam of Tolu is cut adding with same 3 minims of Tincture of Capsici.

11. Shake the solution before the dosage is taken, which should be teaspoonful 4 times each day.

12. Keep the intestinal tract OPEN, using enemas for the evacuation of the colon; using those salves of TIM for the condition as exists in the rectum.

13. Use for the diet, those of no meats - whole wheat bread only - little of the foods that grow under ground in vegetable nature - rather those that are of the easier digestion, sufficient to carry weight, but principally those that will be ALKALIN PRODUCING in the system.

14. When the whole of this quantity is taken, we would then give that necessary for the further correction of those conditions existent with this body. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 9/23/29 Mrs. [5670]‘s letter: ”…I am writing you for Mrs. [5657]. I wanted them [the family] to write you but they don’t seem to understand. They are Italian. Now the interest I have in them is that Doctor [5656], my husband, was the doctor for their children and they seem to think I can tell you better than they can. Mrs. [5657] sleeps better, in fact good, but when she gets up to walk she has so much pain in feet and legs. She has taken over half of her medicine and says she is very strict about her diet but wants to know what to do about her feet and legs…”

R2. 9/30/29 EC wrote Mrs. [5670] making an appointment for a second Physical Reading, for Mrs. [5657].

R3. 10/23/29 Mrs. [5670]‘s letter: ”…I am sorry to bother you again but Mrs. [5657]‘s daughter was here last evening and says her mother is not improving any as they can see, only she sleeps better. She has taken her medicine and will only have enough to last until the middle of next week. She diets but everything she puts in her stomach gives her heartburn. She doesn’t take anything for her bowels but everything acts as a physic. She drinks milk but that acts on the bowels and when she gets up on her feet she has terrible pains in the feet and hips. I really believe Occy-Crystine, Radio-Active Appliance and osteopathic treatments would do her a world of good [as given in my own reading] but of course I did not tell them so. They have the money and are able to do whatever is for the best…”

R4. 10/10/29 EC wrote Mrs. [5670] asking if Mrs. [5657] could come to the Cayce Hospital for treatment.

R5. 10/21/29 Mrs. [5670]‘s letter: ”…In regard to Mrs. [5657] I know they are amply able for her to go to your hospital, but I am afraid she will not come there. I know she would not go alone and she does not speak our language at all. So you see it would be hard for her to get along…”

R6. 10/28/29 EC gave the second reading for her. See 5657-2.
