This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the David E. Kahn home, 44 West 77th St., Apt. 14-W, New York City, this 24th day of October, 1935, in accordance with request made by the sister - Mrs. [1315], through Active Membership of her husband in the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. Schwartz (?), and Mrs. [1315].

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1027].
2. Now, as we find, while conditions are rather serious, there must be considerations given to the effect of same - and those portions of the organisms that become involved in such conditions where there is the wasting away, as it were, of tissue; through the inability of the system to be sufficiently carbonized, or to have sufficient oxygen to purify the blood to build resistances. And the eliminations become so overclogged that the poisons from infectious forces become as a part of the whole system's activity.
3. In such conditions not only the lungs are involved but the liver, the kidneys and the heart's activity are the forces that indicate to the greater extent the advanced stage of such a condition.
4. And so long as there can be maintained the full activity of the liver AND the kidneys, coordinating, so there may be no inroads made into the lungs and into the circulation, there is STILL the opportunity, the chance to build up a resistance that may stem the tide of the wasting effect upon the tissue itself.
5. For the BODY rebuilds, and especially the blood cells and the tissue through the lung area may increase much faster than in many portions of the body.
6. Here we find in this body an indication of an involvement, but - as we find - with adding these in the present, that we will suggest - sufficient stimulation may be made to the activity of these organs (the liver, the kidneys, coordinating with resistances of the body) as to maintain the strength sufficient until a climatic change might be wrought for the experience of the body.
7. Then we may bring the greater assistances to the body in a dry, yet high altitude; not so high as to cause too great a rarified condition of the air, but where more oxygen may be had by being in the out of doors. This would be preferably, as we find, where there may be had either the pines or cactus, or such. These throw off that which adds to the oxygen in such a way and manner as to be the more helpful in such conditions.
8. In the present, then, begin with these:
9. Begin immediately, or as soon as possible, to take INTERNALLY very small doses of Carbon Ash, or Animated Ash. One-eighth grain emptied from the capsule on tongue and washed down with water; do not take IN the capsule, but empty the powder dry on tongue. And three to five minutes after the Ash is given, use the HAND violet ray for making same activative in the system; over the back and over the lung area (over the back portion of the lung area; not the front part), for a period of one and a half to two minutes. Do this once a day.
10. Also begin with INHALING three to four times a day the FUMES from pure apple brandy as it is in the state of evaporation, from a keg; not from glass but a charred keg. And keep the keg close to heat, so it may be kept warn to allow the evaporation. Use a gallon of the PURE apple brandy in a two gallon container; kept corked, with a TUBE from same that may be inhaled into the throat and lungs. Not too much in the beginning. That is, do not inhale too deeply at first; gradually increase.
11. These added in this manner, with the general care that has been administered, should in two to three weeks make it possible for the change to the climactic conditions such as in southwest Texas - as about El Paso, or about Casa Grande, east or west of the central portion of Arizona, or surroundings of such natures.
12. In those surroundings we would still continue the gases or fumes or formations from the apple brandy; also the rest, and the body-building foods; keeping the eliminations so that kidneys do not become involved. Thus we should fight off this condition.
13. Ready for questions.
14. Do this and, as we find, the greater opportunity for self-expression may be had by this body in THIS experience.
15. We are through with this reading.

    A hand violet ray machine with bulb applicator may be gotten from a drug store or electrical place. Let us hear. GD.)

BACKGROUND

1. Doctors say he is in last stages of T.B.

REPORTS

1. 12/03/35 Sister Mrs. [1315]'s ltr.: "[1027] left immediately after his rdg. for Loomis Sanitarium, Loomis, N.Y. He had all his arrangements made & I was annoyed at his decision. He has been operated on & so far everything is successful - also has gained in weight."
