This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 9th day of March, 1937, in accordance with request made by the self - Miss [954], Active Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.
[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.]
Time of Reading 3:50 to 3:55 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)
-
EC: Yes, we have the body, [954]; this we have had before.
-
As we find, the greater distress in the present is an acute condition from hemorrhoids. This as we find is better NOT operated upon, if there is the ability to produce the reducing of the swelling and the irritation; and this as we find may be accomplished with a little rest (that is, stay off the feet) and the exercises, with sitz baths of salt water.
-
IF the sitz baths are taken in a tub, or however taken, the proportions would be about a tablespoonful of the salt to a gallon of water - or to each gallon of water used. Thoroughly dissolve, and have tepid, then a sitz bath of same.
-
The exercises would be standing erect, the feet about a foot apart, easily and gently raise the arms just as high above the head as possible, even rising just a bit on toes, and then slowly bend forward as near as possible towards touching the floor. Do this about twice or three times a day. This kept up for the body after this has been diminished and the condition relieved will be helpful also.
-
Use not too profusely but profusely sufficient that there may be not only the external use of Tim but internal also.
-
Operative forces for this body now are not so well, if this can be avoided; owing to the shock to the system.
-
These measures used as indicated, though, we should find within twenty-four hours entire relief.
-
In the general conditions of the body we find much improvements.
-
There is the need that there be the occasional loosening along the cerebrospinal system, that the whole of the circulation may be relieved so that the nerve tensions, the pressures, the influence of anxieties upon the circulation may be relieved. These we would not neglect.
-
Ready for questions.
-
We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up
R1. 3/14/37 “Good news! The pain is so much relieved! Wonderful what the lying down accomplished - but above all the Tim. You have won a new booster for it, and I only wish I could subscribe the shares in Health Home Remedies Corp… Mine was a wonderful reading - and so helpful. The pain of the problem is not over entirely but is so GREATLY improved. Thank you for being alive! How many times I look back on that first meeting with you at Virginia Beach.”
R2. 5/2/37 Letter to GD: “My love to everyone - I hope you are all well. Things have been very thick with me, but I am now out of the woods - they had to operate after all and it proved even more serious than had first been thought. I’m so grateful, though, for the present healing.”
R3. See interim correspondence under 954-1, Life Reading Reports.
R4. 7/27/37 She obtained a Ck. Life - See 954-4.
R5. 10/14/37 Ltr. (see under 954-4, Life Reading Reports) - “the rectal condition healed entirely - then returned and is again healing beautifully. The pain was so awful, and I am so grateful for this help. You see, I had gotten so low nervously that I could not bear the usual medical approach with much examining and much instruments and local treatment. Isn’t it wonderful that through this quiet, gentle way I can get the help I need?” [“I weigh 137 lbs. I never before weighed anything like that.”]

B2. 3/5/37 “I find myself suffering acutely fr. one of the more embarrassing and painful ills of mankind - a rectal condition. The pain has been of such acute nature that I have been to a surgeon who wants whether or not to ‘snip’ - just one of those light touches that mean so little - unless you happen to be the body on which the snip is performed.”
