This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 12th day of February, 1938, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [470], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes.
2. As we find, in many respects the body is very good.
3. For that little disturbance that has been and is disturbing, there needs to be some precautions taken as to proper adjustments osteopathically through the upper dorsal and cervical area.
4. Just a few - three or four - should be sufficient to remove the distress or pressure in the present.
5. As for those activities through the inclinations for the disturbance in the blood pressure, and those that arise from the overactivity of the pancreas - thus forming disturbances through the kidneys.
6. We would take the Ambergris Solution as it has been given; not too often, but every other day or every third day take it for the daily period, see? Then leave it off for two to three days. Just keep down this inclination, especially while there are the activities that produce the greater strains on the body. It is well for this to be repeated then. After this is taken for a period of at least ten days, leave it off; and then in a month to six weeks to two months repeat it again.
7. And we will find we will be able to keep the normal balance.
8. Or, if possible, use the Artichoke as a portion of the diet occasionally.
9. These, with the general precautions, should make for keeping a normal balance.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Where may we obtain artichokes now?
    (A) Columbia, South Carolina.
12. (Q) What causes soreness near the bridge of nose on left side?
    (A) A little pressure, as we have indicated, that should be removed in the upper dorsal and throughout the cervical area, as related to the optic forces.
    The vagus circulation, or vagus center specifically.
13. (Q) What dosage of the clary water?
    (A) A dessertspoonful at a dose.
    Do these and as we find we will keep the normal forces for the body.
14. (Q) What is the short-wave machine as used by Dr. Arthur E. Smith -
    (A) (Interrupting) We don't have Dr. Smith.
15. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 470-19 on 10/30/37.
2. 1/25/38 Wife's ltr.: "Found a very good osteopath who has one of the new short-wave machines which are being used so effectively for head colds and sinus infections. Two tr. and my cold cleared right up. Found this Dr. to be quite broad thinking, so have already told him about you and the work. He is quite interested."
3. 1/29/38 EC's ltr.: "What is that shortwave machine? Would like to know. It may be that it has even been suggested for some, but have never seen it and don't know."
4. 2/06/38 Wife's ltr.: "We are both fine but [470] would like a rdg. to ck. on his condition - cannot obtain Artichokes here at all, so he has been taking the clary water, but of course he is not sure just how he should take it, at this time... We know very little about the short-wave machine but would like to know more. Maybe a question could be asked about same... What is the short wave machine as used by Dr. Arthur E. Smith...and would it be advisable? It certainly helped my head condition, so possibly it is good for other conditions."

REPORTS

1. 2/15/38 EC's ltr.: "Funny the question about the short-wave, [470-20, Par. 14-A] then in possibly the very next rdg. [633-10] its use was suggested but not describing it at all, except that it is gotten on a sinusoidal machine. Well, happened to know what that is, as we had one of them at the old [Cayce] hospital."
2. 3/13/38 Mr. [470] referred Mr. [1555] for Physical Reading.
3. 3/21/38 See wife's rdg. 1100-18 indicating the short-wave tr. was not good for her.
