This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 8th day of January, 1938, in accordance with request made by the mother - Mrs. […], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Miss [571] and mother.]

Time of Reading 3:10 to 3:28 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Va. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [571]; this we have had before.

2. There are changes in the physical forces of the body, as indicated by the natural changes as well as the growth and the activities through the system.

3. However, there is still that incoordination at times between the impulses in the cerebrospinal and in the sympathetic or vegetative system.

4. As we find, the lesion nor the coordinating centers have been eliminated; neither has the coordination been set up as thoroughly as it should be.

5. However, there have been periods when there was a great deal better coordination, owing to the connections as made in the lumbar and the coccyx plexus with the 9th dorsal or the solar plexus as related to those lesions in the areas about the emptying of the duodenum to the jejunum.

6. As we find, then, in the present:

7. There should be those applications that will make for the relaxing of the system sufficiently to break up those inclinations for the short-circuiting as it were between the nervous systems in the lacteal duct area; by the use of the Oil Packs as combined with the taking internally of the Passion Flower as an addition to the activities of the system to overcome these tendencies indicated in the system through the lack of coordination - or the breaking up of coordination in the nerve forces of the body; thus producing the contractions in the muscular activity, the loss of balance or consciousness in the reactions in the nervous system.

8. The Castor Oil Packs as we find should be used rather in periods. About two hours each day for a period of three days, left off for a period of five days, and then again a period of three days, and then left off for five days. And this procedure continued until two periods or cycles of twenty-seven or twenty-eight days have passed, see?

9. We find that the Passion Flower would be taken ONLY on the days the Packs are NOT taken. Prepare same in this manner:

10. To 2 gallons of Distilled Water add 12 ounces of the Passion Flower. Reduce by slow simmering (not in aluminum, but rather in other types of container - as brass or enamelware; and not with tin as a cover), to 2 quarts. Strain and add sufficient grain alcohol to preserve same, or to make it about a 15% alcohol.

11. The dosage would be a teaspoonful three times a day; morning, noon and evening; preferably BEFORE the meals - and on the days the Packs are NOT taken.

12. After there has been the series of the Packs taken as indicated, then make the osteopathic ADJUSTMENTS in the coccyx, the lumbar and 9th dorsal areas. These would not require more than two treatments a week for three weeks, then leave off for a month, and then give again.

13. And be mindful of the diets! Not too much sweets, ever. Not raw apples. No bananas, ever. No fried foods at any time.

14. Do these and be CONSISTENT with these.

15. It may be necessary to repeat a full cycle. But this should eliminate the causes and the disturbances.

16. Ready for questions.

17. (Q) To the 2 quarts of Passion Flower, just how much alcohol should be added? (A) Sufficient to preserve same. This should be done by the chemist that would make such, as has been indicated - a solution about fifteen percent.

18. (Q) Usually when I have a “shake” I wet my bed. Why is that? (A) The natural reaction of that very condition as has been indicated of incoordination between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal system.

And with the removal of the pressures and the removal of the incoordination between the nervous systems, then the controlling of the organs or the activities of same may be CONSCIOUSLY a reaction, see?

19. (Q) Any other advice for the body at this time? (A) Keep optimistic. Know that these are not taken just to be gotten through with, but see them consciously DOING and ACCOMPLISHING that as will eliminate the causes of the disturbances.

20. We are through with this Reading.

B2. 1/8/38 Mother reported that [571] was greatly helped so long as the suggestions in 9/26/34 rdg. were followed, for the epilepsy spells which always came in her sleep. Recently, however, the spells have returned and seem to be a worse form. “She has done well at school but is getting a complex about these spells.”
