This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 4th day of June, 1938, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [849], Active Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Hugh Lynn Cayce and Leslie L. Savage.]

Time of Reading 4:10 to 4:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Long Island, N.Y. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [849]; this we have had before.

2. In considering present conditions and that as we find that may be beneficial in bringing the much nearer normal forces and influences, and gradually eliminating those poisons that have been the basis of the disturbing forces, the attitudes MUST be taken into consideration.

3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them in the present:

4. While much of the cause has been eliminated, or that which produced the disturbance to the physical functionings of the system, we find that the EFFECT of the applications upon the system has left rather a more serious disturbance to be dealt with.

5. For the changing of the vibratory forces in the body in such a way and manner has produced inabilities for a cooperative, coordinative force; through the high voltage, through the alterations in the effect of the high vibrations upon the matter that causes coordinating forces between creative elements in the system and the physical activity.

6. Hence we find much that in a nominal body should be the normal reaction from the involuntary nerve forces has become incoordinant; so that what has been voluntary has become involuntary.

7. Hence the abilities for the association of the cerebrospinal system to the sympathetic and the vegetative forces in their activities are as distraught one with another.

8. Hence we will find there are days, or cycles, in which there is the inability for locomotion - because of the incoordination between the nerves from those activities through the pelvic and through the lower digestive system with assimilation.

9. Hence we have a wasting away of the body, a static condition being gradually produced in the muscular forces as related to the activity of tendons upon portions of the bone structure itself.

10. And unless there IS some change brought about, these will become as a MIND only working through a body that is not active at all!

11. As to those things as we find that would be necessary, then:

12. There must be used those basic forces from which elements are supplied, not only through assimilation but through the very activities that become a part of the system - as is indicated throughout the universe in individual activity of a body-entity.

13. Man is made up of all that is without himself. Hence he is a part of all, and is to be the ruler of all; given that demand to subdue - not be subdued by, but to subdue; or learn, or have knowledge concerning same.

14. Hence there must be added to the system that which will create - by its activity with the mental self, or attitude (as we come to) - that which will supply - a revivifying, resuscitating influence and force through the body.

15. This as we find may be added by the use of the lowest form, or the LOW form of electrical vibrations; NOT the high! The high vibrations are the destructive forces; these have destroyed the infectious forces, but they have also destroyed the ability for the coordinating!

16. Hence we would add those influences that are the lowest form of electrical vibration, that will carry with same the elements which in their final analysis are the basis of the association or connection with mentality, consciousness and matter in activity; that is, Gold AND Silver.

17. These will be added as follows; the Gold used one day, the Silver the next; through the Wet Cell Appliance:

18. The small anode would be attached first, to the 4th lumbar axis; while the larger plate, through which the Gold Solution passes (in the proportion of two grains Chloride of Gold dissolved in each ounce of Distilled Water), would be attached last - to the umbilicus and lacteal duct plexus - or, for this body, three fingers in a direct line toward the right from the navel center, see? This application would be for thirty minutes, every other day.

19. The next day, or the day between - the first anode, or the small plate, would be attached first, to the 9th dorsal plexus, so that there is the reaction of this through the vibratory forces to the WHOLE Of the nervous system as related to the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic; while the larger place, through which the Silver Solution passes (which must be a very WEAK solution of Silver Nitrate; not stronger than a twenty to thirty percent, you see), would be attached last - to the lacteal and umbilicus plexus the same as the other. But THIS application would be for only ten minutes in the beginning, and every other day.

20. The connections will necessarily have to be cleansed, and the Solutions in different vials.

21. Now, as to the other applications:

22. Take internally, every other day, very small doses of Atomidine - the atomic iodine, see? in half a glass of water before any meal is taken of a morning. The first dose would be one minim, the second dose two minims, the third dose three minims. Then leave off for three days. Then begin again, in the same manner - one minim, two minims, three minims. Then leave off again for three days. Continue in this manner for three rounds.

23. Then, put the body in an Epsom Salts Bath, see? It will require at least a good masseur, and a strong person to put the body in the Bath, see? The water is not to be real hot, but is to be KEPT at body-temperature. And the proportions would be about twenty-five pounds of Epsom Salts to fifty gallons of water. And the body should lie in same for at least thirty minutes; only the head or the breathing above, of course, and this kept above.

24. And throughout the applications there MUST be massages kept; else we will find static conditions setting in, in some places!

25. This will be severe! but it is only to be given after the THIRD round of the Atomidine, see? Then after such a Bath, rest for five days before beginning the Atomidine again. This is for the reactions that should come. Continue the rounds then in order given, with the Epsom Salts Bath following each third ROUND of taking the Atomidine.

26. These applications have nothing to do with the Gold and Silver applications, you see; but are to be kept in the manner indicated.

27. Then with the diet: The natural consequences of the conditions that have been produced is that the ability for assimilating of elements through the glandular secretions has become in many ways destroyed, or inactive - except at certain cycles.

28. Hence it will be necessary, with the diet, that a tonic be taken; such as we find in Codiron - which carries all the elements or vitamins in same. For this body, take one pellet with each meal; during the meal; either chewed or merely swallowed DURING the meal, see?

29. Then:

30. Mornings - citrus fruit juices, all the body can take. These should be combined; that is, lemon and orange, or lime and orange; while the grapefruit or the grape juice OR the pineapple would NOT be mixed with the others. But these should form the basis for the breaking of fast. With same would be taken a wafer, or toast, or occasionally an egg. About once a week for breakfast have the whole cereal - wheat; this crushed, and cooked VERY thoroughly. This should be at least ONE meal during each week.

31. Noons - vegetable JUICES; preferably of vegetables cooked within their OWN juices, not in water but in Patapar Paper and the juices used, with a portion of the vegetables - these may be mixed or taken separately, depending upon the taste of the body. But the salts and juices of these are to be taken as much as or more than the BODY of the vegetables themselves, see?

32. Evenings - we would build the body with Dry Milk, or the meats such as fish, fowl or the like. In the preparation of fowl, this would preferably be prepared so that the BONE portion is soft - as of the thigh or the neck, or the head - and these should be eaten bone and all! that is, of course, by thoroughly masticating same. But the necessary forces as arise from the structure of same should be so masticated as to become absorbed by the stimulations created in the system to the activity of the glandular system, so that we will have body-building.

33. If we will do these - if we will be consistent and most of all, if we will be prayerful - we may rejuvenate and rebuild this body.

34. Let thy meditation be:

35. GOD, HERE AM I! USE ME AS THOU SEEST I MAY BEST SERVE THEE! LET THE HEALING AS MAY COME TO ME AND MY BODY, THROUGH THE PROMISES IN THE CHRIST, THY SON, BE OF SUCH A NATURE THAT IT MAY PREPARE MY BODY, MY MIND, FOR A GREATER SERVICE TO THEE!

36. We are through with this Reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 6/6/38 (Monday Afternoon) Ltr. from [849] to HLC:

Dear Hugh Lynn:

The reading arrived this morning and [1102] and I feel much more cheerful after reading it. Although my condition is, as you said in the wire, serious, I was heartened to find nothing in the reading which is impossible and impractical to carry out at this time. We had a little trouble finding the Codiron but have already found a drugstore which knows about it and had ordered it for us.

At the present time the question of going to the beach is not for me to decide. I am much too sick to go any place and have been bedridden ever since Memorial Day when I called you and told you about the spasms. However, as soon as the treatments have given me back as much of my strength as I had before the fever burned it up, I will be more than pleased to accept the gracious offer, and give my long suffering wife a chance to rest up.

We are ready to begin the treatments, and have already started the Atomidine, which we happened to have on hand. We are puzzled by a few things in the reading though, and I think perhaps you can explain them, especially as you say there have been similar treatments outlined for others. If you will look on Page 3 [849-27, Par. 24] of the carbon copy you will find that after describing the Epsom Salts bath he says, “and throughout the applications there must be massage kept.” Does it mean that a massage must be given after each bath or does it mean that massage must be periodically given all the time. I have not been having massage since this last trouble, and considering the present condition of my muscles I do not think massage would be very practical. However, I just want you to check this point and clear it up for me.

Another question which arose is whether the diet given in the reading is supposed to be all the food that I take, or whether other foods are to supplement the foods given as bases of the meals.

Also, can you tell us what cereal is referred to as “the whole cereal…wheat; this crushed, and cooked very thoroughly.” Also, we are a little vague as to what is meant by dry Milk, and [1102] has no idea of how to cook a chicken so that I can eat the bones. I imagine that you folks are familiar with all of these things, and can explain them.

If you are coming up it will be time enough when you arrive. I feel much better about the whole situation now and I assure you that we will follow this reading to it minutest detail.

Give my thanks and love to your Mother and Dad. I hope the reading will enable me to visit them before the summer is over. [849]

R2. 6/8/38 EC’s letter to Mr. [257]: “Hugh Lynn started to N.Y. this morning - had to take something to [849] - digging - but were conditions reversed should like to have it done for me.”
