This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 14th day of September, 1935, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [999], new Active Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Miss [681].

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

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [999].
2. Now, as we find, conditions that disturb the better physical functioning of the body are of an unusual nature or character from a normal physical reaction.
3. There being, then, those changes that are natural at this period in the experience of the entity - and there being through intense concentration the activities of the nature that make for the raising of those influences and forces within the body as to cooperate or coordinate with energies that are creative within themselves, we have a confusion in the organs of gestation - or upon the Fallopian tube there are those formations which, as we find, may be removed in either of these manners:
4. The operative measures, or - in a longer process - the absorption.
5. Absorption may be brought about in either of two manners. It may be accomplished through magnetic applications, or through mechanical forces for the passing of the low electrical vibrations that would dissipate and cause the eliminations through absorption.
6. These are the conditions that disturb the general physical forces.
7. The reactions are of two natures and characters: Those that make for the tendencies as from the UNORDINARY or OUT of ordinary conditions that arise from pregnancy; as to the dizziness that occurs at times, the heaviness that occurs across the lower portion of the abdomen, the nausea that occurs - during the evening or night, rather than of morning. These are the reactions to the general system.
8. There is required, then, more of an application through suggestive forces; combined with the magnetic vibrations.
9. Or, as the entity has been told, the operative measures would be necessary to resort to.
10. It must be determined by the body itself as to which of these methods it will use:
11. As to whether there may be the application within self; either through the coordinating forces of someone that may be of a magnetic nature such as to dissipate the condition, or through the use of the low electrical vibrations that may be had from a Wet Cell application or Battery.
12. Or as to whether there will be the operative measures resorted to.
13. If the Wet Cell Appliance is chosen, then the attachments would be made in this manner: The first plate attached (the copper, positive plate) would be to the 9th dorsal center, between the 9th and 10th. The other larger plate (nickel, negative plate), on the nickel anode, would be placed over the umbilicii plexus, or where there is the feeling - or where there is the enlarging or engorging in those portions of the body. This would be applied for thirty to thirty-five minutes each day, preferably as the body rests in the afternoon.
14. The magnetic forces, if chosen, would be given with the same positions; that is, the left hand of the magnetic individual would be placed over the cerebrospinal system covering the 8th, 9th, 10th dorsal centers, while the right hand would be placed upon the engorgement or enlargement - or the feeling in the frontal portion of the lower part of the abdomen itself.
15. It would be well that the body keep the eliminations in a near normal condition. Also we would keep an alkalinity in the system, through the diet, that may prevent cold or congestion. This would be followed with either of the absorption methods.
16. Or there may be operative forces, as indicated.
17. These, as we find, are the physical forces of the body in the present. While an indeterminate attitude has been assumed for the body through these conditions described, the following of one of the modes outlined must depend upon the choice within self.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) Is this condition a tumor?
    (A) Read just what has been given.
20. (Q) Am I pregnant?
    (A) Read just what has been given!
21. (Q) Was Dr. Mary Campbell's diagnosis correct?
    (A) Those that agree with the condition NOT being pregnancy are correct.
22. (Q) Do I have arthritis?
    (A) There are only the tendencies for such conditions, through the lack of the eliminations.
    The vibrations that may be set up for the whole of the eliminating forces and drosses, as well as the direct activities for the secretions and glands (through the absorption methods indicated), would overcome these conditions.
    Do these.
23. We are through for the present.

    (9/14/35 GD's note: If the Wet Cell Appliance method is chosen, this appliance may be obtained only from the Health Home Remedies Co., Box 103, Virginia Beach, Va. I think the price of this type mentioned for you in $20, with instructions as to its use in the home. Order about ten days before you wish to begin treatments, as each appliance is made to order. Ask for the Plain Wet Cell Appliance, with attachments as indicated.
    No doubt you know a good magnetic healer, or someone in your family may have magnetic ability, if you choose this method. Let us know.
    See Alkalin-Reacting Diet list [which was enclosed].)

BACKGROUND

1. 8/25/35 Questions submitted: "1. Am I having change of life? 2. Do I have a tumor? 3. Am I pregnant? 4. If pregnant, please advise me as to diet and treatments. 5. Was Dr. Mary Campbell's diagnosis correct? 6. Was Dr. James McGeah's diagnosis correct? 7. Do I have arthritis? 8. To what are the spells of dizziness, nausea and headaches due? 9. What causes the pains in neck, shoulders and back? 10. Are present psychic conditions due to psychic attacks? 11. Are these disorders functional or organic?..."
2. 9/01/35 Wire from [999]: "Address near Marine City, please give me three o'clock Monday..."
3. 9/02/35 Reading attempted: "We don't find the body here."
4. 9/04/35 EC's letter to [999]: "...We regret to inform you that we were unable to obtain your Physical Reading, because - evidently - we did not have sufficient address. All we could get was, 'We don't find the body here.' In obtaining a Physical Reading, it is necessary that we have the exact address of the individual at the time of appointment; that is, if impossible to give a street number, a description of the place just as if you were directing someone there; giving how many miles from a certain place, etc.
   "I am very sorry of this delay, as I'm sure your case is quite urgent, but we made the attempt - and will have to wait for further information.
   "We are setting a definite appointment for Saturday morning, the 14th, between 10:30 to 11:30 o'clock Eastern Standard Time. If this is satisfactory, let us know by return mail the exact address at which you will be during the hour set, remaining quiet and in meditation, seeking. I trust that we will be able to be of a service. There must be the personal contact made during the hour appointed.
   "Trusting then to hear from you by return mail, and with all good wishes - asking to be remembered to Miss [681] and Dr. [991]..."
5. 9/11/35 Wire from [999]: "Letter received doubt about receiving reply by Saturday slow mail service sorry about insufficient address. Will be at ... Mary Grove Drive corner Northlawn opposite Mary Grove College grounds northwest section of Detroit between 10:30 and 11:30 EST Saturday the 14th. Will follow instructions."

REPORTS

1. 11/35 She phoned EC while he was in Detroit but did not come to see him.
