Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [601] and Miss [480], and Mildred Davis.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [601].
2. Now, as we find, while the conditions are very good in many respects, there are tendencies in the physical functioning of the body the correction of which in the present would prevent distresses that might later arise without such correction. These have to do with the functioning of glands as related to the activities in the body.
3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [601] we are speaking of, present in this room:
4. In the BLOOD SUPPLY - (So many things that have rushed in, from the activities or relations of this entity in one experience in its activities in the earth, almost overpower all the rest. She was a daughter, you see, of David. The body should wear the seal of same at all times; the crown or the vase with the crown of the king in same.) [8/01/34 See her Life Rdg., 601-2.]
5. The blood supply shows the repressions in the activity of glands; hence at times the tendencies for the glands as related to the lacteals and the activity of the ductless glands in the spleen, with the pancrean secretions. Not that there is too great a tendency as yet for the nature of sugar, or increasing of sugar, yet these tendencies arise - and make for a heaviness to the body. And while not as dullnesses (for the body would never be mentally dull), but the dullness in the conditions across the small of the back, and that heaviness which comes or arises from these repressions that have existed in times back from those conditions soon after the birth - as we see - of a child here [480]. This repression has made for scar tissue that made a repression in the body, thus bringing about these tendencies in the thickening, the heaviness of the blood supply as related to the glands of the body here. [GD's note: She died 4 yrs. later, 4/20/38, with cancer of the womb.]
6. In the NERVOUS SYSTEMS, these are very good save at those times when these heavinesses occur in the digestive forces and in the activities of the organs in the body. These bring then the nerve forces as a heaviness to the extremities, so that while the feet may tend to throb - another experience will be that the head in a portion will experience a full feeling or a throbbing, in other words, in an OPPOSITE direction to the feeling in the feet. These are sympathetic nerve reactions and not the cause, but the EFFECT of the conditions that make for the tendency of fullness in the organs of the sensory system.
7. As to the activities of the ORGANS themselves in the body, these are very good throughout, save as related to the conditions that we have seen or indicated here in the pancrean, the liver, the gall ducts, the lacteal glands, these all are under repression from a thickening of tissue in the pelvic organs that has made for this pressure in the system. These make for tendencies in those activities that have been indicated, increasing or unbalancing the metabolism of the body, making for a katabolism at times, showing for a fullness in a way and manner that causes distress in rather a vague - yet at times very definite - condition shown in the body.
8. Then, in meeting the needs of these forces, as we find, first we would add to the body the elements necessary to produce an activity in the body that will make for gland secretion and gland activity, that will bring about those forces in the system that will PRODUCE the impulses for the glands to secrete and excrete in a manner commensurate with the activities for their resuscitating those portions of the body that these secretions act upon. And in the same periods of application make such applications of the electrical forces that would act with the body to produce the drainages being set up in the body.
9. So, we would apply both the ultra-violet and Infra Red. These would not be necessary more than once a week for each of these; that is, if the Infra Red is given on Tuesdays, then the ultra-violet would be on Thursdays. The Infra Red, of course, is for the deep therapy, (and be sure the quartz lights are used), while the ultra-violet would be for the superficial and for the activity with the system. And these would both be applied across the lower dorsal and LUMBAR area. The application of the ultra-violet would be at least thirty-eight to forty inches from the body, and not longer than one and a half to two minutes; while the Infra Red (for the deep therapy), after the heating and setting, would be for at least ten to twenty minutes, you see, dependent upon the reaction to the system.
10. During the applications we would take internally properties that would be compounded in this way and manner:
11. To 16 ounces of distilled water, add - in the order named:

    Essence of Wild Ginger, or rather
the ROOT of Wild Ginger (well crushed)...1/2 ounce,
Black Snake Root (well crushed).............1/2 ounce,
Indian Turnip (well crushed; this,
necessarily would be dry)..................1 dram.

    Cook all this together, or reduce by slow boiling (with a glass cover on the container) to at least 8 ounces. Strain off. Then to this add:

    Tincture of Stillingia......................1/4 ounce,
Essence of Burdock...........................40 minims,
Essence of Pepsin............................20 minims,
Sufficient alcohol to preserve same...........2 ounces.

    The dose would be taken after each meal, half a teaspoonful in a glass of water.
12. And we will find, with these applications, we will bring not only to the body the relief of these pressures, the relief from these tendencies, but the removal of these heavinesses that arise from the disturbances in the body.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) Is there an abnormal condition in the left breast?
    (A) A heaviness, or a thickening of tissue, produced by the poor circulation. With the activities of the electrical forces to the body, and the purifying of the blood forces, the drainages SHOULD be set up so as to take these conditions from the system. Otherwise, we may then make personal or specific applications for that condition itself. But do these first.
15. (Q) What causes occasional dizziness and pains across front of forehead?
    (A) This repression in the lower portion of the dorsal and lumbar area.
16. (Q) In what condition are my teeth?
    (A) Some need local attention. Very good as a whole.
17. (Q) Does change of climate cause a peculiar fullness in the throat?
    (A) Change of altitude causes the particular change in the throat, but with a balancing of the circulation through purification of the urea in the blood supply, and the removal of the causes for those activities in the system, these should disappear.
18. (Q) Is my gall bladder functioning properly?
    (A) No; as we have indicated from those activities that have been outlined.
19. (Q) What should I do about bad breath?
    (A) This will be overcome by the circulation being corrected, and the normal activity of the respiratory system coordinating with the other eliminations.
20. (Q) What should I do about pains in ear canal?
    (A) With those activities that we have outlined, these will disappear.
21. (Q) Is there any other information that may be given this entity that would be of benefit at this time?
    (A) As we have indicated, the seal should be worn at most times about the body; the king's seal. The cup with the king's crown upon same. Either in the form of cameo or other stones. Any stone in which it may be; not as a charm, but rather as that which comes with the lineal activity or descendant, and the influences that come about; for the soul - or entity - was indeed the king's daughter.

22. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 4/07/27 She obtained Life Rdg. for her daughter, Miss [480]. She requested a physical diagnosis for herself but did not follow through to get the appointment until she appeared to be present for the rdg., having previously obtained a Ck. Life and also Physical rdgs. for the daughter, Miss [480]; also referred Mrs. [564] and Dr. [546] for a Physical Rdg.

REPORTS

1. 7/05/34 She requested a Physical Rdg. for her sister, Mrs. [607].
2. 7/16/34 She requested a Physical Rdg. for her husband, Mr. [619].
3. 7/26/34 She obtained 480-9 for her daughter.
4. 8/01/34 She obtained a Life Reading - 601-2.
5. 8/04/34 "Mr. [619] is following his trs. I have prepared the Alcaroid for him to take when the time comes, and must tell you that I had the best laugh on [480]. For several months I had been taking Caroid and Bile Salts Tablets advised by a physician for what he thought was a gall bladder condition. [480] objected to my taking these as she said I was cultivating a cathartic habit. When the rdg. suggested these tablets for Mr. [619] we did have a good laugh about the tables being turned...
   "Dr. John R. Thompson, D.O. (Dr. O. O. Snedeker's assistant) has been giving me the lamp trs. suggested in my rdg. I have been following the rdg. to the letter and notice a definite improvement. I would appreciate a ck. rdg. as to how many times the prescription should be refilled, as I am about through the quantity sent by Mr. Milton Snyder (Norfolk pharmacist). Also about how many Infra-Red and Ultra-Violet treatments should be taken? Should I follow any definite diet? Should the electric lamp trs. be taken during the menstrual period?"
6. 8/14/34 See 601-3.
7. See subsequent Ck. Physical Rdgs.
8. 6/26/36 "I am enclosing [?] a clipping from this morning's Detroit Free Press. This confirms part of my first physical rdg. but I had a two year jump on 'their' scientific findings."
