This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 4th day of July, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [578], Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc.

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

Time of Reading 11:30 to 11:40 A. M. Eastern War Time. …, Virginia.

1. GC: You will answer the questions regarding this body, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here - keep still now. [See 578-12, Par. R1.]

3. Ready for questions.

4. (Q) Should any treatment be given, osteopathic or otherwise, for female condition? (A) As we find, those that will keep up the general eliminations by setting up drainages are well. These osteopathic, then, about once a week, or once in ten days.

But we would apply once or twice a day the Glyco-Thymoline Packs over the ovarian area and over the pubic center. This also will tend to dissipate. For, unless this is dissipated and taken up in the circulation (which will require that there be a great deal of rest for the body), these will necessarily accumulate and cause temperature. And if temperature arises from it, operative measures will be necessary.

But setting up drainages by the osteopathic treatments, and allaying the disturbance with the Packs, we should be able to dissipate the condition. This doesn’t mean that heat should be applied with the Packs, necessarily; but if the body is given just a warm bath over those areas, even sponged off, before the Packs are applied, it will be better.

The douches should be continued, but we would alternate these; one day using the Glyco-Thymoline, the next day the Atomidine. Use only a small quantity of the Atomidine, that there be no irritation - but this will keep down irritation. To a quart and a half of water, use about half to three-quarters teaspoonful of the Atomidine.

5. (Q) Is it well to take knee-chest position or bicycle exercise now? (A) The bicycle exercise now is not too strenuous, if not overdone. The chest position is most too strenuous. The bicycle position, or working, is very good - if not too strenuous, though.

6. (Q) Is there danger of cancer from the condition existing in the pelvic area? (A) This depends on how much disintegration takes place, and how well the inflammation is eliminated that has been caused there. Not necessarily.

7. (Q) Please give in detail what has caused the hearing to go bad? (A) The very inflammation, or forms of inflammation in the pelvic region, tends to work on the auditory forces - or the nerves of the sensory system. And as the weakness of this body has been in those inclinations of the auditory system, the reflex action is found in same. The finger surgery as we have indicated, if repeated, would be better. Whether this will be entirely relieved or not will depend upon the general conditions of the body. But wait until the other treatments for the pelvic condition are completed, or until the condition there is much bettered. Wait until there is at least no chance of inflammation. This is considering that the body responds to these applications, see? If the body responds, then we will find the conditions improving. If it doesn’t, we will find temperature and accumulations, and a segregation, and it’ll mean operation. But not before the operation, or not before the pelvic condition clears, would we begin the finger surgery - or the treatments for the hearing. These should be done, of course, by Richardson. [M. L. Richardson, D.O.]

8. (Q) Has the body responded to treatments as last indicated? (A) The body has responded. That’s why we have suggested that the condition might be dissipated. Do those things outlined.

9. (Q) What caused the distress in head and face immediately after getting a cold wave permanent a few weeks ago? (A) Most of this comes from the imaginative forces. But naturally so much of the use of cold about the head caused a greater flow of the circulation there, and this caused a general pressure - upon the whole of the nervous system, especially the sympathetic - as the suggestion passes through the sympathetic and imaginative influences.

10. We are through with this Reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 7/26/43 Dear Mr. Cayce: “I have been told too many times that good intentions aren’t worth a toot - still I try to get by with just that. I have intended sending the check for my reading and here it is, almost a month late. If my readings were given to me like I pay for them, I suppose it would serve me right.

“I had to laugh when I read the reading and it said, ‘Yes, we have the body - keep still now.’ I really was awful busy. I had been to a dance the night before and had four children (who had spent the night) for breakfast, and [[622] - Mother’s brother] had just walked in to have dinner. I was straightening the house and trying to fix dinner when two sets of guests walked in just to gab a bit about the good time we had at the dance.

“Anyway I think I’m still for a while. I am spending a few weeks with Mother [413] and am on a rest cure in hopes I will respond to the treatments and be all right without the operation.

“If such a thing is possible I would like to make an appointment for a ck. up for me in about a month and at the same time I would like to check on [1958]…

“I miss you people so very much. Some day maybe I can hear well again and will be able to get in on something that’s going on down there. That is really the main reason I haven’t made an extra effort to get to the meetings. It’s sort of tough when you can’t hear the great things that are discussed.”

R2. 9/7/43 See 578-13, in re pelvic condition.

R3. 12/10/65 GD’s note: I talked to Mrs. [578] who reported that in 1946 she had a fenestration operation on one ear in New York City by Dr. Julius Lempert with excellent results. A Dr. Rosen, working with Dr. Lempert, discovered an easier way of performing the operation, and in 1960 Mrs. [578] had the operation in Richmond, Va., by Dr. Douglas Hayden, on her other ear for stapes mobilization. A plastic substitute was used for the part that had become immobile. She has been able to hear perfectly out of both ears. The disease is called otosclerosis and is supposed to be hereditary. [Recently her [75 yr. old] mother, Mrs. [413], went to Dr. Douglas Hayden to see if a similar operation would help her deafness, but Dr. Hayden advised against it in her case - said the results would not be sufficient to warrant it.] However, Mrs. [578] stated that if she had followed her reading in the beginning when it first mentioned “the auditory forces” she thinks she could have prevented the trouble. At the time the reading mentioned this she was not bothered about the trouble with her ears and was concentrating on other problems. She said that sometimes a similar operation is performed for people with mastoid conditions.
