This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 2nd day of December, 1939, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [470], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., through wife.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Hugh Lynn Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.

TEXT

1. HLC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions he submits, as I ask them:
2. EC: (After going through regular procedure of locating state, town, street, etc. - "Oh yes, - same place where we have just been! [470] - ")¹
3. Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before, [470].
4. While conditions as we find are very good in many respects, there are still those inclinations of the body to put on weight, - that tendency for the effect of the pancrean reaction with the assimilating forces of the liver to cause some disturbance along the circulatory forces between the heart and the liver itself.
5. Hence with an overstimuli, or the sudden movement at times, there is a catch under the shoulder, - more often in the right, but close to the central portion of this reaction to the supplying energies, or the plexus from which there are the energies supplied to the secondary cardiac, or in the circulatory forces as related to that particular portion of the circulation.
6. Then, we would be mindful that there is kept a bettered condition between the upper and lower hepatic circulation in its activity.
7. Occasionally take the artichoke as a means for the dissipation of these disturbances; and the entity may test for same by the urine being heated so as to indicate (after being heated and standing for a while) whether or not there are the sediments that tend to turn to black flecks or specks, as well as a sand condition in same. This may be best done by self, in a test tube; the urine merely put in and heated to where it begins to boil, and then allowed to cool of itself. Then merely test by holding to the light and seeing that as indicated. This would indicate whether or not there should be a day or two of using the artichoke as a means of correcting the condition.
8. It would be well to test for acidity also occasionally; the best manner as we find being with the spittle and the urine. If acidity is shown, then alkalize by the use either of carrot juice or the combination of carrot juice and celery and lettuce. These for THIS body, as we find, would supply the energies from same, through the effluvium in same, for the necessary forces to reduce those inclinations for the "catch," or the tendency for the flowing of strains through the nerve energies, - by the effect of poison pressure.
9. Do these, if we would keep the better conditions for this body.
10. And occasionally have a thorough rubdown through the hydrotherapy treatments, purifying the superficial circulation by a bit of sweat and work out, and then the thorough rubdown especially with the salt rum, or the hot and cold waters.
11. Do these.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) What causes the catch in right side?
    (A) Read just what we have given!
14. We are through with the Reading.
