This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the Kahn home, 44 W. 77th St., Apt. 14-W, New York City, this 16th day of October, 1935, in accordance with request made by self - Mrs. [1022], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Miss [805].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Hugh Lynn Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [1022].

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1022].
2. Now, as we find, while conditions are very good physically in many respects, there are tendencies or inclinations the correction of which in the present will not only clarify much that at times causes some anxiety to the body, but would prevent the disturbing factors becoming either constitutional or segregating themselves in such ways and manners as to become detrimental to the physical functioning of organs - or to become organic disturbances specifically.
3. These, then, have to do with factors that are present within the elemental forces in the activative actions of the body itself, as related to assimilations and to gland activity, and to conditions that these have produced or do produce as tendencies in the physical functioning of the body.
4. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1022] we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. First, in the BLOOD SUPPLY of the body, we find in its elements there are the activative forces that are shown in the circulation. Thus there is the indication that glands in the adrenals, glands having to do with the activities in the lacteal duct area (though not so much in the upper portion as in the lower part of same), show some repressions in the activity there.
6. Those in the adrenals show an overactivity. Hence we have a metabolism that is unbalanced. Also there is the creating of forces in directions as to make for a smothering effects that are produced in the circulatory forces at times.
7. So, in the SYMPATHETIC forces, we find these effects are produced:
8. Dizziness occurs at times, especially of mornings when the body is ready to rise. There are tendencies at times for a tired heaviness through the lower extremities; as of some bearing down pains across the lower portion of the spine and abdomen. These are not severe at all times, but these are the effects occasionally of this disturbing activity. The gradual effect upon the system in its production of sugar in too great a quantity arises from these disturbances in the lacteal area, rather than from the glands in the spleen and pancrean activity; though the TENDENCIES of same are indicated from those positions or actions of the body itself.
9. In the NERVE FORCES of the body, here we find rather reactions than causes. Yet there are periods when the nerve forces and the expectancies and those activities in the sensory forces bring about anxieties, the inability to rest or gain just as much reaction of aid from physical rest as should be. Disturbing conditions of a mental nature arise from sleep; or there are the reactions from vision or dream that are deeper than those which arise from the imaginative forces of the system. Though the body mentally, as we find, is very normally balanced, it is supersensitive to those influences about same.
10. As to the ORGANS themselves, we find:
11. Brain forces and their reactions are very good.
12. The throat, bronchi, lungs, larynx: From the disturbance as indicated in the circulatory forces from the activities and influences of those conditions in the system, we have periods from a nervous condition when there is a filling in the throat, or a tendency for cold or congestion to be effective in the system. There becomes a disturbance at times through the soft tissue in the face. These are but sympathetic effects and are not organic in their nature. So with the correction of those conditions in the portions of the system as indicated, we would bring about much bettered conditions in these directions.
13. Lungs and heart action - as indicated, the lung forces are good. While in the heart's activity there is no organic disturbance, there are periods when there is that smothery feeling, or that tendency for heaviness through the activity of its functioning; and its pulsation makes for anxieties for the body.
14. Digestive forces - here we find a great deal of indication of disorders; yet these are rather tendencies in the present, arising from a condition that has existed for some time in the colon area itself. This has brought about, through the clogging of the system in a manner - and a pressure upon portions of the body itself, that which has made for the disturbances in the glands' reactions in the body.
15. The clogging or pressure, as we find, is in the ascending or the beginning of the transverse colon area. And these regurgitations or reflexes that form a portion of the disorder make for pressures upon the system in such a manner as to cause this reaction in the adrenals.
16. Hence we have some disturbance in the kidneys. Not a toxic condition that arises from same, but the activity of same as related to the eliminations. And the acidity that arises from same produces irritation through the eliminating channels and organs of the system that become disturbing factors to the body at times.
17. Then, in meeting the needs of these conditions, as we would find:
18. We would add to the system in very minute doses that which would make for a change or an alteration in the general activity of the system. That is, we would take Atomidine - one minim, one drop in the morning before the meal is taken, in half a glass of water. Take it in this manner for five days. Then leave it off five days; then take it for five days again.
19. This will only make for the activity of that to supply to the functioning of the glands themselves the creating of a nearer normal balance between the phosphates and the hydrochlorics and the acids and alkalines as they RELATE to the charging influence within the life force and cells of the body itself.
20. Also we would stimulate the normal circulatory force by the use of the Radio-Active Appliance. This will balance the circulatory forces in the nerve energies and blood supply, that will make for the soothing, as it were, of the whole of the nerve force; tending to make the rest more helpful.
21. This we would take EACH day for thirty minutes to an hour, for three weeks. Then rest from same a week, and then take again. And then WHENEVER there are the periods of overtiredness, overanxiety, the desire on the part of the body to make for real rest, use same - the Appliance.
22. We would make the attachments alternately to the right wrist and left ankle, left wrist and right ankle - each time that it may be used, when using in periods; or rotary use.
23. We would also have the sweats and massage, or the effect of the rubdowns following same - especially along the lower cerebrospinal system - with equal portions of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh (heating the Oil to add the Myrrh). Also this combination massaged along the lower portion of the limbs and over the feet at times will aid in resting the feet and prevent the burnings that occur at times when the body is on the feet often.
24. In the matter of the diet, keep rather to those things with an alkalin-reaction.
25. Thus we will find we will bring the better conditions in the present, and prevent many disturbances later - if these are used in the present.
26. Ready for questions.
27. (Q) Will the treatments as suggested relieve the headaches?
    (A) The cause of the headaches, you see, is those pressures, those unbalancing forces as indicated in the digestive forces of the body itself.
28. (Q) Any other suggestions for this body at this time?
    (A) With the use of the Radio-Active Appliance, if these are used as periods of concentration and meditation and prayer, the body will find that the experiences will bring a very helpful influence into the mental and spiritual life of the body.
    Be consistent, persistent with these things suggested.
    Use these in their regular rotations. Two, three, four periods of the five days of taking the Atomidine (with the rest in between), for its activity upon the system. Three weeks of the Radio-Active Appliance to begin with. And each week have the massage and rubs following the sweats. The sweats should be rather the cabinet sweats, and not too hot for the body but sufficient to cause the activity of the superficial circulation to form a portion of the eliminating forces.
    And these will make for bettered conditions for this body, [1022].
29. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 11/06/35 "Since reading the copy of the reading I have literally not had a moment to do anything about it. This morning I have sent for the Atomidine. I have also sent Dr. Henry Hall Forbes [M.D.?] my reading this morning. He has promised to be unbiased and to be of some help. It amazed me to discover he actually does not believe in a hereafter. He is 67 years old and has probably done more real good in his long life than many, many others. I am confused and surprised, because it doesn't seem possible for anyone to doubt, much less a brilliant, kind and generous person like Dr. Forbes.
   "I will write you later after I've actually begun the treatments."
