This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 15th day of June, 1935, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [576], Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [576].
2. As we find, there is considerable change in the physical forces of the body from that as we have had here before. Some show considerable improvement; others not so good, or showing for a tendency for deterioration in their abilities for the functionings.
3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them in the present, [576].
4. The BLOOD SUPPLY is somewhat improved by those applications that have aided in producing a greater power of eliminations through the activities of the increased vibratory forces set in dis-eased portions by the use of the high vibratory forces of the radium. This is very well to be continued. For, as we find, it would be most helpful in clarifying the conditions.
5. However, we find that it would be well to add with same a massage over the lumbar, the sacral area; or over the sacrum, the lower lumbar, and to at least the 9th and 10th dorsal. For such a massage we would use equal parts of Mutton Suet (or Mutton Tallow), Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor, and Compound of Tincture of Benzoin. Mix these thoroughly together, and massage each evening just sufficient for the body to absorb, as the body is ready for rest. These would assist in clarifying, through their absorption, that - to be sure - becomes increased by the vibrations set up by the radial activity in the system itself. This will prevent irritation in the kidney and bladder, by the over amount of the secretions thrown from the system through the increased activity of these organs to create a balance in the disturbed organs or through those glands in the areas as indicated that show for the greater disturbance.
6. As to the conditions in the sympathetics as related to the sensory forces, or the ear, we find that while these make for a great deal of disturbance they may be materially aided by the application of the Elliot activity - or machine - through the ANTRUM. This will make for the relaxation of those tendencies for the system to slow the circulation through the soft tissue to the eustachian tubes. Such a treatment we would give every other day, the Elliot tubes in or through the nostril. And we would have a massage following same, which would be very helpful. These would be the better applications in this direction.
7. In regard to the diet and the activities of the body, these we would keep near those that are capable of being taken by the body under the existent conditions.
8. While we do not find the body would be entirely RID of the disorders, greater improvements may come to the body. But keep the mental attitude as this:
9. Be HELPFUL in thine hopefulness for self towards others, thus creating in self a proper mental balance. Make, then, thine experience worth while in that which may create or bring about in the experience of OTHERS helpful hopefulness in their experience; not as to material benefits, but that which arouses the spirit within each and every soul - the desire to do SOMETHING for the other fellow.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) Should the strychnine and iron tablets be continued?
    (A) These would be well. They are necessary to make for the increased circulation.
12. (Q) Can anything be done to produce normal, restful sleep?
    (A) The Radio-Active Appliance would be most helpful in this direction. This would be taken for an hour, an hour and a half to two hours each night.
13. (Q) What can I do to gain in strength and endurance?
    (A) As indicated, the purifying of the blood stream, so that that assimilated gives greater strength. Through the massage and the general applications; these would be the more helpful.
14. (Q) Can anything be done to facilitate the urine condition?
    (A) As indicated; the massages of the compound will aid in this direction.
15. (Q) Should I continue the light calisthenics in the mornings?
    (A) This is helpful.
16. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 9/20/36 Letter from Mr. [576]:
   Dear friend:
   At last, after along, long delay, I am sending the books that I promised to send. They will go, via parcel post, tomorrow.
   You will find a varied selection, but there isn't one that is not worthwhile. I hope they may be as helpful and as enlightening as they have been to me.
   A year ago now I was near the end of the journey, from malnutrition, for lack of money to buy the necessary food. Appealing to a friend in the East who was under obligations to me I have received a small remittance every week since which has resulted in renewed strength, so that I have been enabled to do more work and eke out an existence.
   I'm still taking the radium treatments and a drug to assist urination, but the cause is still dominant, so that it is a continual fight for life.
   My surgeon, who is giving the radium treatment, "got cold feet" and disregarded your last instructions. As he is taking his pay in books I cannot insist on cooperation with you. So, I'm just doing the best I can. If you should ever come to Dayton and meet him it might make a difference. But I don't suppose your plans will bring you this way.
   With kind regards and best wishes, [576].
2. 10/28/36 Letter from Mr. [576]:
   Dear Friends:
   Almost you tempt me to promise to do something that my impaired health forbids, by your cordial invitation to join the Study Group for spiritual and other advancement, in accordance with the proposal contained in your Announcement of October 26. [See 262-101, Par. 7-A in re 2-3 A.M. group meditation.]
   My better judgement, however, prevails and I am forced by circumstances over which I have no control, to forego the pleasure and profit of joining in this highly commendable undertaking.
   Unless all signs fail it won't be long before I shall have the privilege of joining the larger group on the other side of the Great Divide where opportunities for advancement are boundless. With only good wishes for your success, both here and hereafter, I shall remain,
   Your grateful friend, [576]
3. 11/17/38 Routine mailing was ret'd marked DECEASED.
