This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the Warshawsky home, 3046 Webb Avenue, Detroit, Michigan, this 21st day of November, 1935, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [1060], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mr. [470] and Mrs. [1100].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [1065], Mrs. [1100], Guilda Warshawsky Krause, and Hugh Lynn Cayce.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1060]; this we have had before.
2. Great improvements and changes are in the physical forces and the physical reactions since last we had this here.
3. As we find there needs be in the present only precautions taken that in the food values there are not taken those elements that would cause congestion in the hepatic circulation in any way or manner.
4. Do not be overanxious as to the movements of the body in the present. In the weakened condition there are those tendencies for the afflicted portions to revert to their activity, unless precautions are taken.
5. We would find that the semi-liquids or semi-solid and some little solid foods may be taken in the present day. But do not move about too much until there have been the reactions from the natural functionings of the organs throughout the alimentary canal, and especially as related to the activity of the assimilating forces and the excretory forces through the activity of the liver as well as a thorough cleansing or flow through the activity of the kidneys themselves.
6. Hence at least a day, or forty-eight hours, should elapse before there are any particular exercises other than the stirring about the surroundings.
7. And these will be the activities, then, that will make for the better conditions.
8. In the diet we would take the vegetables especially such as peas, beans, lentils and the like. A little meat - beef or lamb preferably, but this NOT fried; rather broiled. But this should be masticated very thoroughly, that the settlings or the inactivity of the salivary glands may be brought to activity. Chew each mouthful of solid foods, for the day, at least eighteen to twenty times. Not necessary to count them, but be sure that these are WELL masticated; that the glands may be brought into activity.
9. These supply, to be sure, the lactics - or the alkalines - as they enter the system.
10. To be sure, there has been a disturbance in the acids through the congestions also; but these are more easily - in this particular condition - brought to normal than would be the alkalines. Those sedimentary conditions, as in the gall duct - as indicated, as well as the accumulations or hardenings in the activity of the kidneys, where the greater distress was produced by such sedimentary activity - have in a manner been dissolved by the use of the Oil Packs and the manipulations that have aided same to be EXPELLED from the body itself.
11. That there be not a reoccurrence of the condition, and to take advantage of the existent conditions - that there are not those reflexes occurring in the system from such disturbances:
12. It would be well that the body for the next two months have osteopathic treatments; in the first month having at least two a week, and in the second month one a week. Corrections in the dorsal centers and the lumbar areas, that there be the activities through the stimulation to the ganglia along the cerebrospinal system that coordinates with the sympathetic forces to produce the proper balance in the hepatic circulation. To be sure, these should extend to the upper dorsal, but the greater stimulation needs to be the lower dorsal and the lumbar; though the upper dorsal and the cervical area would be stimulated to COORDINATE. But the greater stimulation would be from the 6th and 7th dorsal to the lower lumbar and through the sacral area.
13. To overcome, by absorption, these tendencies of the system's activity, we would - at least once or twice a week, for a period of the whole time that the osteopathic manipulations are taken (but this may be done better by self - or at home, rather than with the manipulations) - massage into the system an equal combination of Mutton Suet, Spirits of Turpentine, Spirits of Camphor, and COMPOUND Tincture of Benzoin. Heat this each time (but melt the Mutton Tallow at first before the other ingredients are added) and massage gently over the area from the 9th dorsal down; also across the back, around and to the frontal portions and even down to the groin area. This will prevent the tendency for the uric acid to become excessive in the system through the stimulation to the activity of the kidneys, the capsules about same, the flow to the bladder from the kidneys' activity; and even - if the massage is made to the groin in the frontal portions - stimulating the glands about the eliminations, making for better conditions for this body. This would preferably be done just prior to the body's retiring. From the absorptions through same there will be prevented those accumulations from the disturbances or poisons from the acids produced in the activity of the kidney; either rheumatic, arthritic or neuritic conditions - for these are excessive in the system; but with the massage there should be a cleansing of the system. After the massage the skin should not be washed off, (that is, the oils that are left) but rather put about the area a flannel or a cloth that will allow further absorption of the oils by the body during the rest period. Then in the morning the body may be cleansed in the shower or the bath.
14. Do this, and we will find we will bring to this body, [1060], the nearer NORMAL conditions.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) The stone is gone?
    (A) It's been absorbed, or broken up - and will gradually be eliminated; as it has been indicated that these should be purified. Drink plenty of water. And because it makes for an overflow or an excess activity of the kidneys at times - WELL!
17. We are through with this reading.

    The ingredients for the massaging may be purchased separately and added by self. Dr. Thompson can explain about the areas mentioned for the massaging, if not understood perfectly. If everything is not clear, let us know. Please let us keep in touch with you.)

BACKGROUND

1. See 1060-1 on 11/19/35.

REPORTS

1. GD's note: It was 11/21/35 P.M. that reading 1061-1 was given for which EC and family were arrested in Detroit for "practicing without a license".
2. 11/25/35 Mr. [1060] was present to hear a Physical Reading for his wife, Mrs. [1065]. That same P.M. their son, [1966], obtained a Life Reading. He, Mr. [1060], was fine and returned to his office. He later testified at Mr. Cayce's trial as to the miraculous cure he had rec'd by following the advice given in his reading. He also helped out financially during that very trying period.
3. 12/23/35 Dr. John R. Thompson's letter: "Was delited [delighted?] to receive your letter this morning, and was especially glad to hear that you had a nice trip home - you most certainly deserved it, after your Detroit troubles. But, as you say, the less said about it all the better. Things like that occur to us all at some time or other, and we all prefer to forget them as soon as possible. I hope that it gets all cleared up soon, and then can be forgotten. As far as it concerned me, the storm seems to have passed on by - I have my wife's reading at home, even, which means I'm convinced all is quiet now. However, I will add this as a finale - I think the [601]'s should dilute their enthusiasm with a little caution, as, for instance, Mr. and Mrs. [1100] do. I think all are 100% positive in their own minds - but convincing a dubious public sometimes calls for a lot of tact - even our fairly well accepted Osteopathic profession still finds that out. Oh well, guess it shouldn't be worried over.
   "News as to the patients is all pretty good, as far as I know. Mr. [1060] seems to be practically well. He is, however, faithfully carrying out the "post-operative" suggestions of the reading verbatim, which I think is a good idea considering the severity of his condition originally."
4. See subsequent correspondence under wife's report, 1065-1 and 1065-2, and son 1066-1 and 1066-2.
5. 1/20/39 Mrs. [1100]'s letter: "Dr. Thompson got ill and his father is quite ill, so he decided to go home. He has never told us but his office girl says that he has kidney stones and this is his second attack. Why he doesn't use the hot castor oil packs, no one but himself knows, because he certainly saw with his own eyes what they did for [1060]."
6. 10/16/52 Comment by D. H. Fogel, M.D. (heart specialist): [1060] 1. KIDNEY STONES 2. PYLORUS INFLAMMATION NOT APPENDICITIS
7. GD's note: Son [1066] told us that [1060] never did have any more trouble of the same nature.
8. 4/10/56 Son [1066]'s letter: "Dad and Mother [1065] retired to ..., Mass. five years ago. Dad has had 3 strokes and is not too well. He is 74."
