This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at Lillian Edgerton, Inc., 267 Fifth Ave., New York City, this 9th day of November, 1933, in accordance with request made by self - Mr. [434], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mr. [437].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Hugh Lynn Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. [434] and Mr. [437].

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [434].
2. As we find, in the physical forces of the body there are conditions of which the body should take warning. While these disorders do not as yet assume proportions as to cause the greater amount of disturbance, corrections in the present would prevent distresses later on and will make for better reactions, bringing the body to a near normal ability of reaction.
3. These, as we find, have to do with the glands of the body and the effects specific and reflex that they produce in the system.
4. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [434], we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. The BLOOD SUPPLY shows a deficiency in the elements necessary for the better balancing in the body of all functionings of organs as related to secretions from glands of the body. While the metabolism isn't so much unbalanced in the present, this in itself shows that there are periods when the activities of the heart and the respiratory system are disturbed by the activity of the blood supply; hence making for an erratic pulsation and an erratic blood pressure.
6. As to the elements of the blood itself, these we find in their divisions - if they are separated - show the lack of that urea that makes for the creating of coagulation where used tissue has been eliminated for or from the system. Hence in portions of the body, where tendons, muscles and forces in the system are by their nature controlled by the muscular reactions, these at times show an incoordination in their activity, allowing portions to become lax as to produce the conditions that exist in the abdominal area in specific reaction, and as related to the lymph circulation in the soft tissue in the face, in the antrum, in the throat. These, to be sure, are reflexes from a more specific condition; though the basis is from an unbalancing of elements that produce the proper stimulation to glands of the system.
7. As to the NERVE FORCES of the body, we find these are very good considering the condition that exists in the general reaction of the system; yet specific centers show such reactions as to cause an improper flow of the blood supply, even that is disturbed in its elemental action. This is indicated in those areas in the lumbar plexus that makes for the easy tiring at times across the hips, and the feelings in the lower extremities as of not sufficient flow of impulse of reaction, or a tendency of feeling as if the body is asleep - as it is sometimes called.
8. Stimulation in these particular centers, with a balancing of the conditions in the system, would make for a proper distribution of that which is assimilated.
9. As to the ORGANS of the body themselves:
10. Brain forces are good in their reaction. The imaginative forces, that apply through the sympathetic nervous system in coordinating movements of the body with the imaginative reactions, are good. Hence in specific lines of endeavor that are creative in the imaginative forces of the body are the reactions through which the body-mental may find its better expression in the realities of experience.
11. In the head, neck and throat we find those indications at times (not always) of those forces that have been indicated in the lymph and muco-membrane circulation, as to cause an uneasiness and a dizziness at times; especially when there has been concentration of the mental activities. And this, with the impulses and the balancing of the body, should not exist.
12. The thyroids do not function properly; they are deficient in elements to make for a proper distribution of influences as assimilated for the functionings of the glands themselves, and are a contributory cause to the general conditions - as are the adrenal glands also, which make for a betterment of balancing in that which is assimilated through the digestive forces of the body.
13. As to the heart's action, the lungs and their effect upon the general condition of the body, these - as we find - are rather sympathetic than being of specific disturbances in the present; though, to be sure, as we have indicated, the organs or these as specific conditions may become involved unless the basic forces that PRODUCE a better balance are corrected.
14. Digestive area, as indicated, is necessarily disturbed through the inactivity of those glands to produce the necessary factors in the distribution through the circulation of that proper assimilated. Hence, as has been termed, there is NERVOUS indigestion rather than specific influences from other forces in the body, but reaches same through these activities.
15. With the glands in the hepatic circulation being disordered, as in response to the activities of the body, these make for a drying at times through the intestinal tract, and cause disorders reflexly and specifically from those conditions that have been indicated in the characterization of the blood flow and supply to different portions, or the walls of the intestines of the abdominal area itself. And hence the lack of peristaltic movements, for these are not efficient at all times.
16. As indicated, these are the conditions of which the body is aware at present, and the disorders are rather specifically the inability of the glands, through the lack of elements in the system to produce the proper reactions for a perfect normal condition in body.
17. Then, in meeting these conditions, as we find that exist with the physical organism of [434], we would first apply internally for the system that which will aid in creating for the body those impulses to the glands of the body that will stimulate their activity, assisting them through the assimilations to supply (both by external application and internal activity of the digestive forces, that will become better balanced) that which will make for an equilibrium in the system.
18. So, through the Radio-Active Appliance carrying iodine in solution for vibrations to the body, as applied to the organisms in disorder or distress rather in the present, we will aid in stimulating their activity.
19. The first anode without the solution would be applied to the 3rd cervical, while the anode carrying the solution in the activity would be applied to the umbilici [umbilical] area but over the lacteal ducts that make for assimilations and their activity upon digestive influences. We would make these attachments each evening as the body rests, just before retiring, for twenty to thirty minutes.
20. We would also be mindful that the diet carries those properties to aid in replenishing blood influences and the forces that will create a balance for the system. This would be an outline, though it may be altered, to be sure, to meet the needs of the body's influences or forces:
21. Mornings - citrus fruit juices, especially grapefruit and lemon juices; coddled egg, and whole wheat or crushed oats that may be made into cakes. If any sugars are taken, preferably any sweets should be (at all times) only of honey - especially in the honeycomb.
22. Noons - vegetable juices or meat juices, but not the meat itself nor a great deal of the body of the vegetable forces - though the juices of same may be taken; with milk that is either already acted upon by the lactic forces in same or as in buttermilk, Bulgarian milk, or dried milk and the like; for these are much better than the raw or fresh milk.
23. Evenings - a well-balanced vegetable and meat diet, though no red meats would be well for the body.
24. We would also in the third or fourth week of battery appliance treatments, that carry the influences to the activities of the glands of the body, begin with the manipulative influences that distribute throughout the system; especially applying the deeper manipulations in those areas in the folds of the abdomen as the blood supply is sustained, as the activities of the kidneys are made more normal, as the coordination between the poles of the system in the circulatory areas are established in better coordination, that the distributions throughout the system are improved. These will be required in the lumbar and sacral area, the 5th and 6th dorsal plexus and, especially, in the hypogastric and pneumogastric crosses in head and neck, REDUCING these pressures for the inflammation that occurs in the muco-membranes of the soft tissues in body.
25. Ready for questions.
26. (Q) Should these treatments be given by an osteopath, or one who massages?
    (A) An osteopath would be the better, or an osteopathic masseur that makes particular direction to central areas as indicated and general distribution throughout the body. This would be beneficial.
27. (Q) How often should these treatments be taken?
    (A) Twice each week.
28. (Q) What causes the headaches, and is there anything specifically to be done for them?
    (A) The lack of the proper flow of blood supply to the head. When those activities as indicated in the system are such that the mental forces call for the necessary reactions in body, there is the deficiency in elements to supply nutriment - which causes pressures. Hence the balancing of the body by the vibrations created by the low electrical forces from the Radio-Active Appliance with the elements that are needed in the system, by the third or fourth week there should be a decided change; even from the second day there may be a decided change - in that the body may rest much better when it sleeps.
29. (Q) What causes periods of extreme depression, and what may be done to prevent them?
    (A) As indicated by the disturbances themselves in the glands of the body, there is a lack of vital forces to be kept active. Hence the attempt through repression periods of the body to adjust itself, and with the body seeking then different environs, different surroundings, changes the flow; and unless this is sought the depression period lasts the longer. But with the applications of those influences given, we will find these will disappear entirely.
30. (Q) Is there any other advice for my benefit at this time?
    (A) As given, we would make these applications, consistently and persistently, for sufficient period to create a normal balance in the body, preventing disturbances that may become even acute unless a proper balance is created.
    For, the vital influences of the abilities of the body would be as complimentary to those activities which may bring much to others. The duty, then, is not only to self but to that which the body may give to others.
31. We are through for the present.
