This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 5th day of September, 1934, in accordance with request made by the self - through her sister, Mrs. [409], Active Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [650], Mrs. [409], Mildred Davis and L. B. Cayce.]

Time of Reading 10:55 to 11:20 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Va. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [650].

2. As we find, there are conditions that disturb the better physical functioning of the body. These, as is seen, are rather the complications that have arisen by the gradual process of the disturbances in the pelvic organs, and the activities that through the nerve and through the assimilating and digestive system have been builded in the system.

3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [650], we are speaking of, present in this room:

4. In the BLOOD SUPPLY, which is deficient both in quantity and in quality, there is shown some temperature also from not only the disturbance in the blood stream itself from poisons being carried in same but from inflammation in the trunk portion and in the pelvic organs themselves, as well as in the area of the lacteal ducts. But the plethora or swelling in the ducts and glands in the pelvic area, the tubes - where there is seen the swelling, the side - where there is seen the coordinations between the ducts of the lacteals and the ovaries, make for the excruciating pains that produce the pressure back on the lower portion of the stomach or duodenum; and thence to the stomach itself. These, as we find, are indications, and come from the disorders in these areas of the body.

5. As we find in the ORGANS themselves, there is the necessity that the assimilating system be so stimulated through the conditions in the body proper that these may receive through that assimilated that which may aid in producing the necessary resuscitating, as well as the curative forces.

6. Operative forces in the present would be detrimental to the better conditions of the body; for the lack of sufficient of the leukocyte - and the ability for coagulation - would prove to be detrimental to the better conditions of the body. These also would in the present, unless greater segregation would produce that which would become eventually in the form or nature as to separate itself; yet in making the applications in the present, we would begin first with these:

7. Over the small portion of the back, across the lower portion of the liver and caecum area, we would apply first the saturated solution of Epsom Salts, two or three times consecutively, until there has been produced a perspiration and an opening of the pores of the body itself. After three to four applications, as hot as the body can stand (using a crash towel large enough to cover from the small of the back all the way to the stomach from the right side, dipped in saturated solution of Epsom Salts - as much Epsom Salts as will dissolve in the amount of water necessary to wet the towel), then we would massage into all of these same portions of the body an equal quantity of mutton tallow (melted), turpentine and spirits of camphor and witchhazel. A tablespoonful of each at a time would sufficient. Best to melt the tallow and add the other ingredients, and then allow to cool sufficient to massage same into the body. Massage all that the body will absorb, you see. Then, in an hour apply again the Epsom Salts packs; these should be applied, of course, too, lower down over the abdomen, or those portions in the front below the abdominal area.

8. Then, after the second day that the above applications are used, begin with douches of Atomidine to relieve the pressures in the vagina and in those areas where they may be reached with such douches. The proportion would be half an ounce of Atomidine to a gallon and a half of water. If a quart of water is used, then the Atomidine in that same proportion, you see. Take these at least twice each day, for two days; not hot, but tepid - or BODY temperature, which is 98 or 99.

9. Then, after the two days, begin with the Castor Oil packs over the LIVER area and the ducts of the assimilating system (that is, the whole right side from the upper rib area to the hip). (Use three to four thicknesses of flannel or wool material, dipped in hot Castor Oil.) Keep these packs hot, applying them for two to three hours each day.

10. Only when the Castor Oil packs are begun, we would then begin to take INTERNALLY properties prepared in this manner:

11. To 2 ounces of Lactated Pepsin, add:

Tincture of Stillingia…1/4 ounce, Tincture of Valerian…1/4 ounce, Elixir of Calisaya…1/4 ounce.

Shake the solution well together before the dose is taken, which would be half a teaspoonful every two hours.

12. In the matter of the diet, we would use rather the SEMI-liquid foods; such as:

13. Mornings - oatmeal, Wheatena (no dry cereals), or any of those that are easily assimilated. Not too great a quantity of milk on these, but sufficient that will make it palatable. Not too much sugar.

14. Noons - broths from vegetables; that is, combining many of the vegetable juices, with not too much grease in same.

15. Evenings - well-cooked vegetables, mixed well together with broths from meat; especially liver, pigs’ feet, tripe, or the like.

16. These, as we find, taken in the next ten days, should RELIEVE the body. THEN we may give those things NECESSARY for further corrections.

17. Relief, of course, should be brought in the present. Should the pains become so severe, that they cannot be borne, as we will find, the hot applications will relieve; especially if the douches will be taken.

18. Do these, and then we will give further instructions. Ready for questions.

19. (Q) What causes discharge and odor? (A) The sluffing off of the ADHESIONS in portions of the body.

20. (Q) What causes breaking out of skin and what can be done for it? (A) Relieve those conditions producing the poisons in the system.

21. (Q) What causes the lump under left side and shortness of breath? (A) That pressure from the plethora conditions, as described.

22. (Q) Is the heart weak? (A) With as much poisons in the system, and with the lack of blood supply, it is weak; and the temperature only keeps a great deal of the strength in the present.

Do these, as we have outlined, and we will bring the greater conditions and better forces for the body.

Keep the eliminations through the alimentary canal NORMAL, using occasionally the high enemas.

And take internally all the Olive Oil at ALL TIMES that the body will assimilate, in very small quantities at the time; half a teaspoonful every hour and a half when awake - of course, don’t wake up to take it!

23. (Q) Should anything be taken internally for eliminations? except Olive Oil? (A) With the correct diet as indicated, and using the enemas when necessary, and the Olive Oil, will be sufficient.

Do this, then, for ten days - and we will give the changes.

24. We are through for the present.
