This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 3rd day of January, 1935, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [416], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. [416], Mildred Davis and L. B. Cayce.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, there are many changes in the physical forces of the body in the present from that which we have had here before. Not all of these are for improvements. Rather has there been an upsetting of the system from violent influences from without, so that in many portions of the system there is the necessity for a coordinating throughout the cerebrospinal system - especially of the associations of the sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems in those specific centers where locomotion and the division of impulses are physically shown along the cerebrospinal system.
3. From the upper cervical area there is produced the tendency for dizziness, forgetfulness, irritations that cause singing and drumming in the ear, affectations to the speech [stuttering], and even to the vision at times. All of these effects are disturbing factors, not by impingements but rather engorgements in the 3rd, 5th and 2nd cervicals; especially where these make for their associations with the divisions to the vagus nerves.
4. In the brachial center, or the upper dorsal, we also find an impingement; specifically in the 2nd and 3rd dorsal. This should be coordinated specifically with the cerebrospinal and sympathetic junction in the area, with the specific relationships established in the 2nd and 3rd segment - with the brachial center, you see.
5. The lumbar area makes for a disturbance at times to the nervous system as related to the activities of the hepatic circulation, so that the activities of the kidneys, the relationships between the emotional forces in the body, the activities from the digestive system as related to these, become disturbed.
6. These need adjustment, with those stimulations that HAVE been given; not given during adjustments but after the adjustments have been made in these particular areas. Not so much the Sun Ray or the extreme light, but rather the higher vibrations such as found in the sinusoidal for a GENERAL treatment to the body - stimulating directly through the activities of the upper centers along the 2nd and 3rd dorsal to the sympathetic, and to the gastral centers for the digestive system, and those along the lumbar for the activative forces of the body.
7. These, as we find, would bring a much nearer normal condition for this body.
8. Take about five to eight of such treatments or adjustments along the cerebrospinal system, with three to five of such treatments from the sinusoidal. Then rest or leave off for a period of two weeks. Then have another round. And the body should be near normal.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) What is causing pains to or near the heart?
    (A) This is indicated from the discoordination in the brachial center, or at the 2nd and 3rd dorsal plexus, you see; and the treatments we have outlined for same.
11. (Q) What further treatments should I take for my eyes, and shall I still be able to discard glasses, and when?
    (A) This will depend upon the RESPONSES of the system, and the ability of the one making adjustments to alleviate all those pressures that have hindered the circulatory system in its perfect activity with the organs, see? The body should not be concerned with this so much in the present as with having these adjustments and the balancing of the system. Then if the proper corrections have not been made in this direction, more specific directions may be given. These adjustments in the present should aid the eyes materially, however.
12. (Q) Please give treatment or suggestions for proper eliminations.
    (A) The adjustments in the lumbar and the upper dorsal areas, with the use of the sinusoidal - which makes for the increased flow of the gastric juices and the activities of the lymph circulation. Should it become necessary, use only a vegetable compound to increase the flow at the time, you see.
13. (Q) What would you suggest?
    (A) Vegetable compound!
14. (Q) Please give treatment for trouble with ears.
    (A) Do these that have been indicated, in the cervical and upper dorsals, that are necessary for the proper adjustments - that there may be the proper circulation and the increase in the stimulation through the electrical treatments.
15. (Q) Should I take any further treatment for my left knee?
    (A) This condition should be overcome now, if these other treatments are carried out; and the ligaments and those portions of the body in the extremities would be materially aided by BALANCING the system so that the CIRCULATION to all parts is equalized.
16. (Q) Kindly advise if my memory was in any way affected when I had concussion in automobile accident on Oct. 21st?
    (A) This has been indicated, in that there should be made a more perfect coordination between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system. There is the incoordination especially as to the balance in the upper cervical and to the vagus flow to the throat and head. All of this circulation has been disturbed. This should be corrected by those treatments suggested here.
17. (Q) What can I do, if anything, about my hair turning gray so prematurely?
    (A) With those shocks to the nervous system there has been changed a great deal of the pigment, or the flow of the activities. If you would prevent the hair from turning gray, let at least two meals each day be taken of the peeling of Irish potatoes - it'll turn it to its normal color again! They may be cooked, yes.
18. (Q) Please give treatment for dripping in nose?
    (A) This has been indicated in the cervical adjustments, and the stimulations through the electrical forces for the system.
19. (Q) Shall I ever remember any details concerning the automobile accident I was in on Oct. 21st?
    (A) Not very well to remember! These may be brought through the better coordination being created between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal, so that there is the activity of all the coordinating forces of the nervous systems of the body with the mental body - and its activity brought to normalcy. Then it would be more in dream than in remembering.
    Do these things as we have suggested here, consistently; and we will bring the better conditions and a near normal condition for this body.
20. We are through with this reading.

    [The stuttering cleared up after a few osteopathic treatments. Other conditions improved greatly.]

BACKGROUND

1. See 416-4 on 7/12/34.
2. 1/03/34 "On 10/21/34, about 7 PM, about half an hr. from my home in ..., N.C., I had a serious automobile accident in which the occupant of the car colliding with me was killed. A hog in the road was reported to have caused the accident. I lost all memory of leaving home or of the accident, awaking from an unconscious state the following evening in the hospital. I was injured in several places - face, head [brain concussion], knee and spine, but I have gradually improved since, having been able to go back to work the first wk. in Nov. I want a ck. up rdg. as there are several things I want to know about, in order that my condition may be corrected. I am going to go to Dr. M. L. Richardson, D.O., but it will be hard for me to get off from work unless he can treat me in the evenings."
