This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 23rd day of September, 1935, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [1008], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Dr. John H. Watson.

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

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1008].
2. Now, as we find, the conditions are of a specific nature; yet they are constitutional generally, and produce a specific disturbance.
3. These, as we find, have to do with the nervous system and the effect that is produced upon the muscles, the tendons and the activities of organs as related to their functioning.
4. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1008] we are speaking of:
5. We find that the BLOOD SUPPLY indicates a lack of those elements that give stamina or stability in the manner of ORGANIC functionings; that is, a lack of the natures that arise from calcium as it affects the system. This we would change through the diet considerably, or by adding such elements to the diet.
6. So, at least once each day we would have a meal consisting only of raw vegetables; particularly turnips, carrots, parsley, and those things that make for a quantity of such elements as may be assimilated in the system. These will aid materially in the general welfare.
7. Also we find that stimulations through corrections are needed by the disturbed conditions is specific forces of the body.
8. In the NERVE FORCES we find there are lesions, as indicated in the 3rd and 4th dorsal, in the 3rd, 4th and 5th cervical, as well as a strain upon the axis in the coccyx area - the correction of which will aid in relieving those conditions in the upper dorsal and through the cervical area.
9. We would make changes in these by adjustments. But before making the adjustments we would apply WET heat. This is preferable to dry heat, for it will make for a centralizing of the superficial circulation more about those areas.
10. So, we would apply heavy wet towels - or packs made with towels that are wet or damp sufficient to draw the heat or the activity of the circulation through the heat at the coccyx (or the lower end of the spine and the sacral area) and from the 5th dorsal to the 2nd and 3rd cervical.
11. And then make the adjustments. Do this about twice each week.
12. We would also make specific adjustments in the 1st and 2nd cervical. These, with the other adjustments, should correct those conditions in the muscular forces of the head, the neck, and the upper portion of the body; making a correction in those muscular forces about the face and neck.
13. It would be well to add the influences for the nervous system from the deep therapy as may be had through the use of the sinusoidal ray; using the REVERSE, and making the applications of same with one plate in the 3rd and 4th cervical, the other in the lower lumbar and sacral center. This is to equalize and relax and stabilize the nerve impulses that control the muscular forces of the body. It would be well to give this after the manipulative forces, twice each week.
14. Do this for the better corrections of this body.
15. (Q) What is the definite lesion causing the irritation of the nerve to the muscles of mastication?
    (A) As indicated; the 3rd and 4th dorsal, the 3rd, 4th and 5th cervical, as coordinating with the coccyx center.
16. (Q) Would the nervous condition of the jaws affect the eyes?
    (A) Sympathetically. More of this disturbance comes from the natural inflammation as would arise from a depleted circulation to the organs of the sensory system; affecting the eyes, the throat, the hearing - as these are in conjunction with or a portion of the ganglia from which these portions of the system receive their nerve impulse.
    The sinusoidal ray or vibration, with the corrections and with the change in the diet should make for a STRENGTHENING to the eyes.
17. (Q) Any further advice?
    (A) Do these, as we find, for this body of [1008].
18. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 9/03/35 "I am having trouble with my jaws; they pull open and I have not the power to keep them closed. I have taken osteopathic tr. for over 2 yrs. of Dr. John H. Watson without the desired results. I hope you can and will help me."
2. 9/18/35 "Dr. Watson advised me to send the following questions:" [See 1008-1, Par. 15-A, 16-A.] [GD's note: Dr. Watson previously treated Mr. [675] with a reading.]
