This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 30th day of July, 1935, in accordance with request made by the father - Mr. [...], Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

TEXT

1. EC: Yes.
2. As we find, conditions with this body have been caused by the after effects of a temperature that made for the adhering of tissue in portions of the system; affecting directly the sensory system, as well as the coordination between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nervous system.
3. These, as we find, are being aided. While there is kept the constant attitude in the mental and physical body for positive activity, these applications that are being made will be for the better conditions of the body.
4. And we would not change same, other than to suggest the attitude for those about the body.
5. Do not let the attitude be such as to be inclined to make the body as one sorry for himself, or one that becomes more and more dependent upon another. Rather stress the necessity in the mental and physical attributes of the body for the constant DETERMINATIONS to NOT ALLOW the disturbances to become effective to the body. Rather use them as an opportunity for the increasing of the general application of self, mentally and physically, in meeting the conditions in the body-mental and in the body-physical.
6. The only addition in treatment we would make, then, would be to use the Radio-Active Appliance each day for an hour to a hour and a half, just before - not after the body has retired but BEFORE the body has retired for the evening. This will make for the better coordination of the circulatory forces that have been increased by those activities that have been maintained for this body, [965].
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Please advise as to whether or not you see that he will outgrow his condition.
   (A) He will outgrow it, provided these things are followed as we have indicated; that is, the attitudes about the body are such as to meet the resistance. As indicated, do not become sorry for self, dependent upon another, or constantly FUMING about the conditions - but MEET them! See?
   Use the Radio-Active Appliance as indicated, keeping the anodes very clean with each application. Make the attachments to the opposite poles of the body, or in the usual manner to the extremities.
   Using these vibrations together with the general applications that have been maintained for some time to meet the emergencies, should - with the correct attitudes - bring about the normalcy for the body.
9. (Q) Just what produced the temperature that caused the condition?
   (A) Fever! Strep!
10. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

REPORTS
