This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 9th day of January, 1935, in accordance with request made by the grandmother, Mrs. […], new Active Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Dr. W. H. Ketchum.

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

Time of Reading San Francisco, 11:15 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. California. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes (Eating breakfast!). We have the body, [785].

2. Now, as we find, the conditions that disturb this body have to do with the poor assimilations in the body, and the effects arise from the lack of the proper activity of the glands in the system. ALL of these suffer from lack of proper nourishment in the system, and cause the tendencies for the lack of sufficient blood supply and the effect upon the thyroids, the lacteal ducts, the activity of the glands in the caecum, and affect the kidney activity.

3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [785].

4. The BLOOD SUPPLIES indicate undernourishment.

5. The NERVOUS SYSTEMS indicate also the lack of the the proper stimulation, making for the listlessness, the inactive forces in the system as to its tendency to become overexcited, tendency for the rubbing of the nose and face and crying a good deal. All of these are nervous reactions in the system.

6. As to the functioning of the ORGANS themselves, these we find not organically disturbed; rather as to their functioning, through the impoverishment to much of the body.

7. Then, in meeting the conditions as we find, first we would begin with a very small quantity of Atomidine as a stimulant for the gland activity in the thyroid, in the assimilations in the gastric flows themselves, as to the stimulation to the spleen, to the pancreas, to the ducts of the liver, to those activities that will be created by the changing of the elements in the system. Take one minim or drop twice each day, in water; preferably taken before the morning meal and just before retiring at night.

8. Also we would have each day a gentle and GENERAL massage, especially along the cerebrospinal system, making specific adjustments - or of specific centers to be stimulated - in the 1st and 2nd dorsal, in the 4th lumbar.

9. Following or immediately after such a dry massage each day (which may be in the form of a general manipulation rather than specific adjustments, or the general massage would be the better - as of the neuropathic nature), an Olive Oil massage would be helpful. Right AFTER the dry massage is given, we would massage the Olive Oil around the neck, down the frontal portions of the body, across the abdomen, down the limbs - as well as along the cerebrospinal system.

10. As to the diet, this wold be rather specific - and we would use foods that are of the natures carrying more body-building properties, that will - with the Atomidine being taken for the assimilation - add to those activities that will strengthen the body, mentally, physically.

11. Mornings - first a cooked cereal of whole wheat or a mixture of barley and wheat, that carries the specific elements in the vitamins A and D. Preferably use this with half cream and half milk; not all either, you see. A little sugar, not a great quantity of same. There may also be taken milk or cocoa at the same meal. Occasionally the cereal may be altered with the stewed fruits, especially those that tend to make for an active force with stimulating the hepatic circulation; as stewed figs, prunes, apricots and the like. Preferably NOT apples or peaches; though pears may be included at times.

12. Noons - beef juices with vegetable juices; these may be altered or changed at times to suit rather the taste of the body. And included with same may be barley or rice occasionally.

13. Evenings - preferably only malted milk, though this may be taken with an egg well beaten in same; or whole wheat toast and milk. This should be preferably not boiled milk, but that which is merely heated sufficient to be the more palatable.

14. These, as we find, would bring the better conditions for this body, [785].

15. Keep these up for thirty to sixty days, and then we would give changes.

16. Ready for questions.

17. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 2/11/35 She referred Mr. [855] for a Physical Rdg.

R2. 3/30/35 Grandmother’s letter:

San Francisco, Calif.

My Dear Mr. Cayce:-

So sorry not to have written you sooner to thank you for the readings which you sent my little grandchildren. We started right in with the work as directed and have had very good results. We do appreciate what you have done for them and shall always be grateful to you and to our Heavenly Father. We had a young neuropathic friend whom we called in at once and went to work. Also got a sun lamp and have been using it daily on both [785] and [786]. We gave the calomel to [786] as directed and he had his first good night’s sleep in months. But it didn’t seem to get the worms as he showed the same symptoms soon afterward so in three weeks time we repeated the dose and got a quantity of pinworms. We have just had him circumcized as he was having so much trouble with a tight skin. My daughter didn’t like to have it done without consulting you but he was having so much trouble we went ahead. Hope we didn’t make a mistake. The last two weeks the children don’t show the progress they were showing and we feel they need another reading and further advice as soon as possible. They both seem to have kidney disturbance. Do they have an acid condition or is some chemical lacking in their blood? [785] insists on taking her liquids from a bottle. At her age, should this be permitted. Should they both be broken at once from the bottle? My daughter is planning to move down into the country with them for the summer and we hope they will improve faster in the open air. I am enclosing a list of questions from her. Does [785] need her tonsils removed?

We went to see Dr. Ketchum [Wesley H. Ketchum, M.D.] after we received the readings to be sure of our interpretation and because he is so interested in us all - he always speaks in kind remembrance of you and your work. I am not able at this time to send any more money. I have been working much too hard and am two weeks behind with my wages. My son-in-law and I expect to open our new shop about April 15th. The country is in a terrible condition with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Do you know of the Utopia organization and its work. I have been helping some in its furtherance as I belive it to be the best plan advanced of which I know. Thank you for the bulletins you have been sending - have enjoyed them. Will you set a time for reading for the babies and I will wire their location in response. Again thanking you.

Sincerely, [[785]‘s grandmother]
