This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 10th day of March, 1939, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [715], 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 this present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [715].
3. As we find, there are many of the conditions - which have been disturbing influences - that show a great deal of improvement; while there are other conditions that are contributory or a part of the general that are being somewhat aggravated.
4. There will come a great deal of disturbing condition unless there is an abating and relieving, or a leaving off of the injections which have been given.
5. The lung disturbance, the assimilating forces are better, but some conditions may be added in the present.
6. The condition through the pelvic organs and discharges from the activities of these organs under the disturbances are somewhat improved.
7. But the use of the Atomidine in the manner as has been indicated is a much better purifier than some of those douches that have been used.
8. We would advise that the Atomidine, body-temperature, and in the proportions and manners indicated, be used.
9. We would take now, in the present, the inhalations rather regularly of the Brandy, in the keg as has been indicated.
10. We would take Codiron: four tablets each day, two in the noon meal, two in the evening meal; and these would be kept regularly, consistently, especially through the periods from now until the middle or the latter part of May, at least.
11. The massage along the spine, especially in the upper cervical area, will aid in producing a better reaction through the upper portion of the digestive force, and as combined with the others should make for the gaining of strength and vitality, building resistance and keeping in a much nearer normal condition.
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Do the Lextron capsules take the place of liver extract?
    (A) Leave these off if the others as indicated are taken. The best tonic for the body will be found in the Codiron.
14. (Q) Have the glandular shots been beneficial?
    (A) They are harmful!
15. (Q) Is it possible for this body to gain weight?
    (A) If the body will be consistent with those things as we have indicated, it will gradually begin to gain weight.
16. We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 715-7 on 10/30/37 and subsequent Reports.

REPORTS

1. 3/16/39 Letter thanked EC for the rdg., asked questions about details of the treatment, and: "I wanted to tell you about those glandular shots that I took. I menstruated five times in about eight weeks, so I went to the doctor, and he said that those injections were for the pituitary gland - the thyroid, and ovaries. Why did he give me something to cause so much trouble? And I'm wondering what all damage they did do to me? It can't be helped now, though."
2. 3/28/39 "I honestly and truly think I am feeling better... I was up to see Sis [1690] after church today and I think she looks better... When I see how ungrateful her children are to her for all the sacrifices she has made for them, all the charity goes out of my heart. [1352] and [1089] should be out working - it's ridiculous - and [1306] just as well not be working for after all she doesn't lighten her mother's or father's burden any at all. Perhaps they can't get just the job they want - they could do something. I have done many things that hurt my pride."
3. 4/20/39 EC's letter:
   Dear [715]:
   Thank you for yours of the 16th. Believe this is about as sweet a letter as ever received. Can tell you it did me a world of good - of course when one realizes the Peace, the good feeling that comes from doing something they know all along is right - but when whatever it may be gives that exultation of the love of the Mother and the Peace of a near presence - well that is what HE meant when He promised to leave HIS peace with us. Am so glad you are going to Church again, just hope you will keep it up - not as mere something that has to be done but because you love the communion it brings to you in the consciousness of your loved ones being near you.
   [1690] carries a heavy heart - disappointed - in so many ways. Seemingly not able to stand the weariness of the body but a heart of gold. Love her and every one of you and her children - are not the happiness one would imagine at times they should bring - but really sweet, lovely children - yes, we can all tell them what they should do, but let's not be too hard on them; to find fault with them is only to make it harder for them and give them a complex that they are good for nothing but to cause worry to some one - and they proceed to do just that - and we who find fault are really the ones that drive them to it. Love can do much more for them and with them than telling them how idle they are and what a burden they are. And when love shows the way, when they do anything it will be to share and help their Mother. They have and do appreciate - am I talking crazy - possibly so - but [1089] worships you and you can do any thing with him - but not by fussing at him or driving him away from you.
   Know I have those children in mind and am praying for them - am sure they will yet make good in a big way - am happy if my prayers for [1690] have helped. The Lord knows from our feeble point of view she needs help and HE alone can give the strength to carry on - know she gets tired, very tired.
   Will be a marvelous thing could you but help those children find themselves - that is all they need. They are discouraged, that you know - and they seldom possibly hear anything but what is discouraging to them. Take a hold and help - love an encouraging word do wonders for them. And think how much joy you would give your precious Mother [1181], for she loved those children also.
   Have been all in myself for past week - just over did myself - tried to do too much - can't take it - am having to rest this week - holds many up - feel sorry that can't help as many might - some have come to rely on the information and are wondering what to do, I know - but hope to be able to work again soon - am going to N.Y. for a Lecture - can you imagine - me in that role.
   My little birdie [canary] is setting again - hope, too, she has better luck next time.
   Give me love to all. Write again soon, [715] - is sweet of you to write now and then. Try out the suggestion and see if it doesn't help them - as well as yourself - not dictatorially but lovingly, kindly, yet not pamperingly.
   Love you, your cousin, Edgar
4. 5/31/39 "Am not feeling so well - am keeping up with the treatment as best I can - but have not gained any weight - suppose it's because I'm so full of nervous energy - can't be idle a minute, not even to listen to radio - have to read or sew even then - don't sleep well - can't stop my mind from turning over and over."
5. 3/24/40 Dear Cousin Edgar:
   It's been quite a long time since I've heard from you - believe I wrote to you last - but that's neither here nor there. For no one detests letter writing more than I - not only that - but I do not have the time with working and the things I have to do at home. Have been trying to get around to writing to you for some time.
   Have been feeling worthless for a long while, and your wondering if the "bug" is beginning to work again - feel as tho I run a little temperature all the time and have no strength - tho I have so much energy - MENTAL. I can't let things go when they need to be done. Sis [1690] and I, I think, are the only one of Mama's [1181]'s children who are either blessed or cursed with that particular trait. The others just let things go and give up to their feelings. Don't know but what they get along much better and will live longer.
   About a year ago when you gave me a check reading you advised me to take the Codiron which I did up until about the middle of December. Since I am feeling so 'punk' I wonder if I should start taking them again. I cough quite a good deal. Seems that my throat just fills up and that area on my right side just below my ribs pains me much as well as my back. Sometime when you have a vacant period, would you consider checking on me again? If you cannot it's alright - for a times I feel it doesn't make much difference anyhow.
6. 3/28/40 EC's letter:
   Dear [715]:
   Have yours of the 24th and please know am not neglecting you because this is not giving you a period for an appointment, but analyzing the former readings believe can tell you that best to do. However, if you are not feeling lots better real soon, be sure and let me know at once and will get the reading to be sure, but have planned a meeting in N.Y. beginning the 6th of Apr. and every period has been taken until we leave. So that is why am not doing that first.
   But do this: Yes, begin with your Adiron at once. Take one each meal you eat. But most of all get your KEG with the brandy in same going, inhale the fumes from that night and morning. When Gertrude had flu in Jan., she began just like you to go down, little cough, a little temperature each day - easily tired out and like. Got her on to the Brandy keg at once and she has come along fine. PLEASE don't put that off, do it now. [1089] will help you get it going am sure, if you feel after a few days you are still having some temperature, then get you some Calcidin tablets, 1 Grain. Get you a two ounce bottle at drug store with two ounces of Distilled water in same. Put three of the tablets in it, shake to dissolve them, keep in your purse and take just a sip some four times each day at least. Not unpleasant, tho not the sweetest dose in the world. But it will keep cough down and make you keep much warmer. Keep your feet dray and don't get out in Night air too much.
   Now will you do that, then let me hear from you won't you. Yes feel very much neglected at times when think so much of you all, but know you have other things to think of - unless you need me. How is [1690], [715]? Hope she is better. She has had a hard time of it with much to worry about and worry kills more people than illness.
   Write me.
   With lots of love, Cousin Edgar
7. 8/12/40 "I am sick, and I don't know what to do. Feel like I just can't keep going unless something is done. My side is giving me so much trouble - in the liver area, I think. Can you help me - this last time?" Love, [715]
