This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 24th day of May, 1935, in accordance with request made by the self, also by his mother and by Dr. F. J. Kolar, through Active Membership of the father, Mr. [643], in the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. L. B. Cayce.]

c/o Dr. Kolar Time of Reading Kersting Hotel, 3:15 to 3:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Wichita, Kansas. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [567], this we have had before.

2. Now, we find many changes in the general physical forces of the body from that we have had here before. The breaking up of the lesions in the caecum and in the lacteal ducts is beneficial, removing much of that which destroys the coordination between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal reactions at times; PROVIDED that the adherence is prevented from being made again.

3. As we find, with those adjustments that make for the better flow of the lymph and the circulatory forces through this portion of the body, we would add the Castor Oil packs as we have indicated before - which would assist in alleviating and drawing, through the absorption of the oil into the system, those activities of this vegetative or lymphatic circulation. These would be the more helpful.

4. The rest of that being administered in the other conditions, as we find, is very good. If these administrations will be kept, and also those lesions in the upper cervicals eliminated - or the axis and the 2nd and 3rd cervical kept in their proper alignment, we should have - SOON - near normalcy for the general physical forces.

5. Then there is the mental attitude that must be kept in accord with the general constructive forces for the better reactions in the system.

6. Do that.

7. Ready for questions.

8. (Q) How soon after leaving the Clinic would it be advisable for me to start working? (A) In six to eight weeks.

9. (Q) What kind of work would be most suitable? (A) That which will make for more of the PHYSICAL than mental activity, yet not too routine in its nature.

10. (Q) Should egg whites still be eliminated from my diet? If so, why? (A) Egg white, unless it is prepared in the form of a coddled egg, makes for a formation of acid by the extra amount of those qualities that we find in same. With the changes that are wrought, it would be very good to use the whole egg - provided it is coddled or soft-scrambled.

11. (Q) What was the hour of my physical birth, on Dec. 19, 1908? (A) (In undertone, counting back from present date to birth date) Nine thirty-three (9:33) P.M., the physical birth.

12. (Q) Are there any further suggestions towards my betterment? (A) Follow those, as we find, as indicated in the prevention of the adherence or the lesions forming; through the oil packs as indicated. And these should bring about the better forces for the body.

13. (Q) How often should the oil packs be given? (A) Every other day, until there is the pliability through that area and through the cerebrospinal segments that contribute to the lymph and blood flow through this area of the system; and, of course, these treatments are necessary, especially through the 8th and 9th dorsal center.

14. We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 5/28/35 “Your rdg. arrived this a.m. and it was great news. I immediately gave it to the Dr. to read but have not seen him since. He will be in tomorrow a.m. and will no doubt give me his ideas on it. I shall ask him to write you. He tested me this a.m. and said I was coming along fine. My stomach is back up in its place and everything is O.K. as he sees it. I was allowed out of bed today for the first time in 7 wks. Believe me, it felt funny to be on my feet! About 8 days more now, and I’ll be allowed to return home to the family.”

R2. 6/8/35 Father’s [643]‘s ltr.: [Confidential and not for your files please.]

Dear Mr. Cayce;

You asked me to write as to [567]‘s status as soon as he returned home. I can only guess at it. He was here from Friday night to Saturday night when he took the train to Pasadena.

He was enthusiastic, happy to reach us, cordial to the people whom he met and expanded lengthily on the subject of his quarrel with the Pullman porter.

He is apparently far more nervous than when I took him to the “clinic”. His turns are down to two per week and he does not know really when he has one. Had none here that I know of.

Asked for eggs. I called to his mind, or tried to that Dr. Howard Pitts, M.D. had told him after diagnosis that eggs were very disturbing to him, that they were poison to some people and in many similar cases would bring on turns within a few hours.

Mrs. Lucey, the dietitician had said they were good for him.

“Who is she. Where did she get her knowledge and how could she say they were good for him without careful tests?” etc.

Then came the old rage. (I thought he was over these.)

Saturday morning he did not eat eggs. (There was none in the ice box.) But, in his anger he hiked to town in the heat.

Mrs. L. says that Sanka, de-caffeined coffee is OK. Kellog’s Postum is NOT OK. Coffee is harmful to almost all people. Good for some whom I have known.

Sanka is coffee. Let them say they have the caffein out of it, perhaps they have. Next they will have the wet out of water.

Two things have happened; he is a diet crank. Cannot have buttermilk before he looks as a sheet of paper. Nor milk. Nor whole wheat bread, etc. These people found a diet book and go by it.

I saw the meal he had when I was there. It looked just an ordinary cheap getup. Hash as I recall.

2. He is enthusiastic about Dr. K. He knows a little and has stretched that a long way. One of these little men, bright enough but with the professional front. I did not disturb his enthusiasm, nor did I give him any reason for the flare up.

Dr. K. said he might need some readings. I agreed to using my name. Asked for a check for $20.00 made out to the Society; as they are not ashamed of robbery, I ought to have the privilege of helping out such an institution as yours.

He told me 4 weeks ago [567] would walk out a well man. Kept telling [567] the same thing. Now, as he likes [567] so well, will give him a special rate of 50.00 per week. For 6 weeks.

The “doctors”, of the staff are without doubt hospital orderlies, or bed pan couriers with a course in chiropractic.

There is a gland specialist in L.A. Dr. Curtis [7/3/35 Ltr. said Clifford A. Wright, M.D., Orthopedic Hospital, Los Angeles, Calif.], cripple, real MD. Hired certain days by Los Angeles County for brain cases, by the Orthopedic Hospital, a beautiful place, for this successful treatment of glands that affect the cases mentally.

Mrs. [652] saw him. (He was out when I called.) She writes; “Dr. Wright asked me if [567] was very fond of CHOCOLATE and sweets”.

Here is my original diagnosis for cause as it was so apparent it could not be overlooked if one gave any thought whatever to the case.

Mrs. [652] wanted to come over. With [567] twisting every thing I say into a “call down”, I stay out of the picture from now on as it is insane to have any disturbing cause around. And I am one for him.

[567] will write about eggs. I feel this way; they may be the best thing for him but we do not KNOW it without careful tests for long enough to satisfy ourselves. It is easier to take Dr. Pitts, and others’ word for it. I think you might confine your answer to the effect that they, like everything else of general use, MAY very well be poison to some systems.

Onions are in the food of the healthy people of the world and yet we know people who are made sick by eating one small onion. Or fruit. It is not safe to say that anyone can wear a straw hat. There are people in the world I believe who would be poisoned by doing so.

[567] as talkative, tries to tell two things at once, does not recall things that happened here 2 months ago, does not recall names of friends here and his brain has weakened.

Does not touch the piano. Did not ask for a game of Bridge or Cribbage. These things have been my barometer and when the interest in them fades, I do worry more.

I state now that your original diagnosis is still as letter perfect as the day you made it BUT we have had to depend upon too low mentalities and training to bring about the things you want done. K said his stomach was way down, out of place. It is strange that [567] spent 4 days in the big hospital at L.A., full of bismuth, daily studied in the X Ray machine and this leading doctor said nothing about the stomach being out of place. He was formerly the Asst. of Dr. Jos. B. Miller, the greatest diagnostician of Chicago and to whom every doctor in the Middle West goes.

I will request that when [567] writes for a reading you merely advise him that he is progressing. He has had one lately and when I think it time I will ask for it and enclose a check with the request. This is because there is no need of burdening you with extra effort that can do no good as when he progresses we shall be the first to recognize it.

I have not been using the treatment you prescribed for me as I cannot afford the light treatments after the atomic ash.

When the family get well then my turn will come.

This is rambling and I should block out the letter first but that takes time and there is so much to do. I would not recommend the outfit to you for offering to your people.

The charlatan still works the public.

R3. 7/3/35 Father [643]‘s letter:

[567] was almost violent when he came back. This is Dr. Clifford A. Wright, Orthopaedic Hospital, L.A. He is a cripple in a wheel chair. He has given the metabolic tests, feeding calcium, and SUGAR, in which he is terribly deficient according to tests. [567] has had no turn since Sunday. Better color, easier mind, more vitality.

This K - kept him away from sugar, calcium and gland treatment. Dr Wright also gives serum for glands. He is a reputable man and seems to be making progress.

The thought has hit me that you might do him a lot of good. Being an M.D. his is prejudiced, etc. In time he will be available.

[567], being better, an going back to …, shortly as my work is there. Tonight I can say that [567] is better.

Sincerely, [643]

R4. 8/19/35 Mr. [567]‘s ltr.: “I came out here to Los Angeles for the summer and Mother [652] told me about Dr. C. Wright, a famous doctor here in Calif. He is a gland specialist and has had many of the Petit Mal cases…after making tests he found I had a low sugar content in my body. He said this gave him something definite to work on, and added that he had never had a case of my type without low sugar content… I am better now. Mother and Dad see a marked improvement in my turns. I am being treated for glands. I take a thyroid gland pill 3 times a day. I also take Calcium Phosphate before each meal. I see the Dr. 3 times a week, and each time he given a shot of serum in the arm… Dr. Wright is an invalid in a chair. Later on I want to have a rdg. for him and see if you can’t arrange a tr. for him that will put him on his feet.”

R5. 10/13/35 Mother [652]‘s letter: “I know it is a hard thing to ask a man to trust one when we already owe you so much, but if you think you can trust us, do give [567] a ck. rdg! His turns are more severe, and I want to ask if the gland tr. is helping him, also how much improved he is, if at all - and when his turns will cease… [We are so discouraged…etc.] I have gotten in a nervous condition where I can’t control myself and almost faint at each of his turns. Do help us. He wants to be near you, and has such faith that you will cure him. If there only was a clinic near you in which you were interested. I feel I must ask your help again.”
