Edgar Cayce Readings, 457-5

Time and Place: 4:00 to 4:15 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.

TEXT

GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [457], who is at ... St., New York City, in regard to the reason for the mental and physical condition of her aunt [...] [father [378]'s sister] who died January 6, 1938, and whether the women in the family are more subject to it, [insanity] and just what precautions should be taken by either sex to combat it. You will answer the questions she has submitted, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [457]; and those conditions mentally, physically, as surrounded the physical and mental forces of the aunt, [...].
In giving information that may be a determining factor in such conditions, there is little need of giving the histology of the conditions as relate to the body of [...], or of those in the immediate family of [457]. These are known.
As to what is produced in the body-forces, these have been rather well covered in the physical readings as indicated for a member of the family. [See 457-4 on 2/09/39.]
One of the sexes is not more subject than the other. And the injection of new blood will soon change the whole situations, - or in ONE generation, though it may skip and enter the next.
The condition is, as indicated there, the number of positive units about the center of the atomic force as related to procreation; and this - as is used in body-building when there is the age or the certain environs as to cause or produce a deteriorating or lack of activities in the procreation of the atoms for its re-creation - brings about a lack of those elements as we have indicated. [Rh. factors?]
Hence the active forces that create those in body-structure of the natures which add to the nerve plasm, or the grey matter in same, would be the corrective measures; as may be had by the vibratory influence of Gold or Silver, - dependent upon that found to be lacking in the blood plasm.
It would not be necessary that ANY have more than one such test, IF there is then ADDED, through such a vibratory means or manner, [Wet Cell Appliance?] those hormones that would bring a normal balance for the cycle of procreative forces.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Should the blood test be made by any or all members of my family?
(A) Only if there is the desire for procreation.
(Q) Should tests be made at definite intervals?
(A) As we have indicated, only once in necessary IF those proportions of the influences necessary are added to bring a normal balance.
(Q) Could my brother [452] affect his wife or children in any way? ["He is thinking of getting married."]
(A) Should not - if there are the precautions, or if there are the activities such as to bring that balance necessary in the whole system. There's NO affectation!
(Q) Is my brother [282]'s case anything similar? Has he inherited anything, or has he a similar blood condition?
(A) Read what has been given respecting this in times past! The warnings were given - they were NOT heeded! [See 282-1 on 6/10/30 and 282-8 on 7/06/38.]
(Q) What precautions should be taken in the case of [282]'s children? [[299] & [314]]
(A) These should NOT be affected. No precaution necessary here.
(Q) In the women of the family, would menstrual troubles or childbirth cause it to develop?
(A) Not necessarily.
(Q) Was my aunt's case mental due to physical condition?
(A) To this deterioration as has been indicated.
(Q) Has [282] inherited anything from her, or has he a similar blood condition?
(A) Read that which has been given as to the warnings here, - this is much better than to approach from the mental attitude of this body, [457]. [See 282-1 on 6/10/30 recommending the Wet Cell Appliance.]
(Q) Any further advice to this body?
(A) Do not dwell upon such. Be sure there is at all times sufficient Vitamin B in the diet, as well as with the blood test if found deficient in the procreative plasm then add same through the vibratory forces of Gold.
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

See 457-4 on 2/09/39.
2/21/39 "Thank you for your dear letter of 2/10th... In case you need to know where I am, I will be right here at the office. I have blessed you and your powers already for the rdg. already given me. It has relieved my inmost self. It was so dear and thoughtful of you to give your rest period for me. I have often wished I could do something adequate for you in return, but there is nothing good enough. I can only do my best to prove that the advice is right and good. Please add the following questions and any others that will clarify the situation."

REPORTS

3/01/39 Letter from [457] to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce,
"Thank you so much for your dear letter but most of all for being a channel for the information sent me. It is difficult to express just how much this meant to me. Ever since [282] got sort of difficult last spring [See 282-8] this has been worrying me underneath, inside. Information was revealed at the time about family history from a member of the family which was pretty upsetting. Thinking of these things as well as feelings I have had myself when tired and overstrained, I sometimes was just crazy afraid that I might go crazy some time. Mother suggested having a reading after she gave me some facts, and even though I have absolute faith in the readings, I was perhaps a little fearful of the information which might come through. Finally however after our season was over and I had more time to think of these things, I realized that the information has always been CONSTRUCTIVE. I might as well know the worst and if there was anything to be done about it you would tell me.
"So you will realize now what the reading meant to me.
"I am asking Gladys in the enclosed letter to see if she can gather any information from [282]'s past readings which might have bearing on the present condition. After reading these myself I want to send them on to Mother [in Europe]. I had asked [282] to take all readings with him, but since we could not let him guess the real reason behind everything, I do not believe that he thought it important enough to do as I asked. [See 282-9 on 3/23/39 advising about the gold treatment.]
"I am also asking her to get some additional information for me at the next check readings. I have been to the dentist, had x-rays and been treated [See 457-4] but the pain has come back on the side of my face. I want to know if he missed anything. [3/07/39 See 457-6.]
"Thank you again for all you have done for me. You may be sure that I am going to do as I am told. By the way [412]'s condition of the past months has cleared up fine. If you ever should want a testimonial letter about that, I would be glad to write it up for your records. [See 412-11.]
"Lots of love to you, and your dear ones," [457]
