This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 15th day of January, 1936, in accordance with request made by the self - Dr. [438], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

TEXT

  1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [438].
  2. As we find, conditions are progressing rather satisfactorily.
  3. To prevent the recurrence in the muscular forces about the knee and the limb of the stiffening, so as to pull the ligaments loose again, we would massage the whole of the limb each day, as follows:
  4. One day we would use equal parts of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh for the massaging.
  5. The next day we would use the Salt (plain sodium chloride; not that carrying other properties, but this well powdered) and PURE Apple Vinegar.
  6. Use one one day, the other the next. Continue in this manner, and we find that these ingredients will supply calcium, acids and oils that will prevent accumulations of water - or prevent the tendons becoming so taut as not to allow movement in the knee and the kneecap.
  7. Hence these would bring the more satisfactory conditions to the body.
  8. And STILL we would have, OSTEOPATHICALLY, that adjustment made in the cerebrospinal system as we have indicated (upper dorsal and cervical area). For unless it is, there will CONTINUE to be trouble!
  9. Have it done the Dobbins' way!
  10. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

  1. See 438-4 on 10/26/35 for fractured kneecap.
  2. 12/12/35 He wrote of pending surgery for second time to replace lower fragment which had again separated.
  3. 1/11/36 He submitted questions:
    "Is there any chance of refracture of my leg? What special advice to keep from having a refracture? Will I regain full use of leg? When? What treatments are suggested? What effect will the refracture have on the money settlement of my case? Will it go to trial? When do you expect a trial or settlement to be made?"

REPORTS

  1. 1/30/36 "Rec'd your letter, also your Rdg. Thank you very much. Am following the massage as per rdg. Can't get any osteopathic treatment as yet as I am still abed. But as soon as I can get around I shall go to the doctor's office."
  2. 2/09/36 Friend Mr. [257]'s letter: "[438] called today, and I've arranged with Dobbins for him to be treated."
  3. 2/11/36 EC's letter to Mr. [257]: "Glad you saw [438] - am sure he needs Dobbins - don't believe he knows, really, what an osteopath can do that the general massages don't do."
  4. 2/16/36 Dr. Frank P. Dobbins' letter: "Am now treating a Mr. [438] will send in report."
  5. 3/21/36 Dr. [438]'s letter from Florida: "Getting plenty of ultra-violet, sand and salt water. Feeling much better. Expect to return to N.Y. about April 3rd."
  6. 8/12/36 "My leg is just about getting in shape and I'm running around like a chicken with its head off... I have been trying to write this letter for several weeks, but having met Mr. [257] this evening, in for a treatment [physiotherapy tr.], he has persuaded me to finish it."
  7. 9/19/36 See his Business Rdg., 438-6, giving further advice on health.
