This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 12th day of June, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [678], Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. As we find, there are acute conditions from an OVERRELAXING of the sciatic muscles and nerves. And these produce a lock or catch in the sciatic centers, and the feet draw or contract - as it does under the knees and along the lower portion, or the under side of the limbs.
4. In the present we would apply Glyco-Thymoline Packs over the lumbar and sacral area, AND heat. Use two or three thicknesses of cotton cloth, or towelling, soaked in the Glyco-Thymoline. When this area is relaxed quite a bit, then apply the same around the feet, see?
5. Don't be too active.
6. As soon as there is some relaxing by the heat AND the applications, DO have an osteopathic adjustment. This will possibly be in the evening.
7. There needs to be more of the treatments for aiding and bringing about a better condition in the feet. The arches have given away, and there should be supports worn there all the while.
8. Do take a good cathartic, as the Rochelle's Salts, or Sal Hepatica, or the like - sufficient to relax and to flush the alimentary canal.
9. Do that.
10. Ready for questions.
11. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 6/18/43 "Thanks a million for the help given me in my reading last Sat. June 12th. The Glyco-Thymoline Packs and heat certainly eased the pain, and I was really suffering. I have done everything except have an osteopathic adjustment - I will do that later if I don't get entirely well. I will also have my feet attended to very soon, now that I am up again. There is one thing that gives me so much satisfaction when I get a reading - the fact that I know I will not have to be treated for something I DO NOT HAVE. I am willing to have patience when I know I'm being treated for the ailment I really have. Sometimes a lot of time is wasted by not knowing the exact trouble."
2. See subsequent correspondence under 678-1, Life Rdg. Reports.
3. GD's note: Mrs. [678] died 12/10/59 with cancer of the thyroid - see 3/10/60 Sister's letter under 678-1 Reports.
