This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 28th day of July, 1937, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [379], through Miss [307], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Miss [307], Mrs. [413], Miss [993], Miss [560], Mrs. [540] and Mrs. [585].

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [379].
2. As we find, the body has overdone it-self in physical activity and in attempting to do more and longer activities that the strength of the body really permits.
3. Hence the anxiety, hence those tendencies throughout the whole system as to feel very much "let down."
4. As we find, in the present, a little rest, citrous fruit juices, and a GREAT DEAL of massage given, would make for the better conditions for the body.
5. Naturally, as has been indicated, keep the eliminations; but do not upset the system in the present. Rather alkalize same, using enemas and massages - and massage with Olive Oil, or follow the massage with the Olive Oil, either one - for the better conditions.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) What is cause of pain in back, through chest and caecum area?
   (A) Weariness, overexertion, and the activities that have been indicated - of overdoing self under the existent conditions or weakness.
8. (Q) Should I go back on liquid or semi-liquid diet?
   (A) For the present as indicated, a lot of orange juice and a lot of lemons and a lot of citrous fruits of all kinds would be well to take, but not necessary to be entirely upon this diet - just alkalize the system.
   Use enemas if necessary; but more the massage and rest.
9. (Q) What causes headaches?
   (A) WEARINESS; and overtaxing the system, and the nerve system crying out AGAINST the overexertions!
10. (Q) The body does not seem to respond to Eno Salt. Should dose be increased?
    (A) As just indicated, rather leave off - use enemas AND the massage.
11. We are through with this Reading.
