This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the David E. Kahn home, 44 West 77th St., Apt. 14-W, New York City, this 15th day of October, 1935, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [557], Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Hugh Lynn Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [557] and Mrs. [489].

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [557]; this we have had before.
2. There are many changes in the general physical forces of the body since last we had same here. Some are very much improved. Others we find are still under those stresses and strains that are in the general physical forces of the body; the lack of the nominal eliminations or the activities of ducts and glands for their creation of balances of influences in the system.
3. Still there are those conditions in the areas of the liver's activity that prevent the functioning of the excretory system for the creating of the eliminating activities in the general system. There are still those conditions that at times, occasionally, under these stresses of the conditions in the body, react to the digestive system; producing disturbances in the gastric flow of the system itself as related to digestion - that makes for still disturbing activities in the body.
4. As we find in the present, it would be well that some changes be made from the activative forces that have been indicated.
5. So in the present we would use the Wet Cell Appliance that would carry into the system, through the low electrical vibrations from same, the Spirits of Camphor. Especially we would arrange same so that the applications would be from the secondary cardiac plexus area, or those areas between the 3rd and 4th dorsal center - with the first anode attached, or the copper plate; and the last attached, the larger nickel plate - the lead passing through the six ounce container of the Spirits of Camphor, would be applied over the gall duct and lacteal duct area. We would use this Appliance in this manner for twenty to thirty minutes each evening, or each day. These vibrations would make for a stimulation that will not only aid in eliminations but aid in the healing influences throughout the system, through that assimilated by the body itself.
6. It would be necessary occasionally, as we find, to have the general massage - rather than the osteopathic or chiropractic adjustments; that is, we would have a sweat or thorough rubdown and then a general massage of the whole system. This would be two or three times each month; oftener if there are disturbing conditions requiring same.
7. These, as we find, should keep this body, [557], in nearer normal reactions.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) What is the present condition of the gall bladder and liver?
   (A) As indicated, there is still a strain through the activities there that have hindered, do hinder the perfect functioning of the organ itself - and its emptying the fluids for the system.
10. (Q) Is the gall bladder worse or better since the last reading?
    (A) It's better than that in the last reading, or the last experience we have had with it here; but it is still not in its normalcy.
11. (Q) Should it be removed?
    (A) As we find, if these applications just suggested are used, these will assist in draining it under its present condition; for these vibrations will add healing influences and make for the system being able to not only dissolve but absorb without irritation.
12. (Q) Should I have the two teeth removed that are troubling me?
    (A) It would be very well for these to have local attention. One we would remove. With one we don't find it necessary, if proper attention is given.
13. (Q) What is their condition?
    (A) One is very much in need of removal. The other, as we find, may be treated and saved.
14. (Q) Any other suggestions for building up the body at this time?
    (A) Much has been suggested to the body as to its activities physically and mentally, and as to the diets and activities respecting same. With the applications in the present, as we find, we would keep rather to the normal diet; just so there is not too much of the acid-producing. Not always is that taken that is acid of an acid-reaction with the system. Just be careful that there are not quantities of sugars or sweets taken at the same time quantities of white bread or potatoes or starches are taken in the system. It would be well in THIS body that when there is the desire most for foods of whatever nature or character the same be adhered to, but do not indulge in any of these things. And we would find these would make for much better conditions.
    Follow these suggestions; that is, each day, twenty to thirty minutes, make the attachments of the first anode or plate over or between the 3rd and 4th dorsal center (the copper plate), and the larger plate of the nickel over the center covering the gall duct and a portion of the lacteal duct area.
    This vibration produces in the activity of these ducts and glands not only of the liver and the gall duct of the assimilating system that assistance, with the active force of the Spirits of Camphor for the distressed conditions, which will make for healing and for the EMPTYING, see?
15. (Q) There is more pain in gall bladder area than before. Please explain.
    (A) That produced by more congestion in the organ itself (liver) attempting to make for adjustments with conditions, see? Hence the change with the appliance of the nature and character as to make for that vibration which will not only take away soreness and inflammation but will make for correcting and clearing the conditions there.
16. (Q) Is the liver involved organically, or just the gall bladder?
    (A) The liver in its excretory functioning is involved; not organically but functionally, with - of course - the gall bladder being the area under distress.
    Do these things.
    Be consistent and persistent. And we will find help, relief, and correction of these disturbances.
17. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 557-5 on 11/14/34 and subsequent Reports.
2. 10/01/35 "Mrs. [489] said you are coming to N.Y... I would like very much to see you and have a reading."
3. On 10/23/34 She had written: "I am wondering if I should continue with osteopathic treatments or change to massage. Massage makes me relaxed and sleepy and helps my nights, while osteopathy seems to stir me up, and gives me pain. As I told you I had one [spell] last night. I was wide awake for a good while, when I did fall asleep I awakened with bad pain in side and between shoulders in back, also front. When I went to sleep again, in two hours wakened again with frightful pain all through my abdomen. I then took a dose of castor oil."

REPORTS

1. 6/19/36 She wrote that she and husband and two boys were leaving next month on a European trip - she sent a contribution to EC's work.
2. 10/30/36 3:00 A.M. I've rec'd the letter about the study class for spiritual research work [262-101, Par. 7-A in re 2-3 A.M. meditation] which interests me immensely, and would like to receive the reading matter. I do not know if it will be possible for me to keep the time from 2-3 A.M. owing to erratic sleeping caused by poor health. I would like another Physical Reading, as I have had some alarming symptoms... I have been advised to go to the Mayo's out west for diagnosing. I have had no doctor since last summer when I was ill in Germany.
3. 11/09/36 See 557-7.
