This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 2nd day of April, 1936, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [1137], through her son, Mr. [...] sponsored by Study Group #2 of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., via Miss [307].

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

TEXT

1. EC: Yes. We have the body here, [1137].
2. As we find, there are rather serious conditions or disturbances in the physical forces of this body. These have to do with conditions that have been long standing. And while in their incipiency or beginning they were apparently of a minor nature, these have gradually come to be very definite reactions; and those that without a great deal of persistence and precautions will be hard to deal with.
3. For first these began with an over-taxing of the physical strength of the body. Then there was the lack of the proper nourishments in a balanced order through the system, until the very walls of the muscular forces were effected, as well as the lymph flow along the arteries. Hence we had a seepage that has not been cared for.
4. These have produced first the effects of a rheumatic condition, then a condition of a low fever. Or apparently that of the nature of the strep in an easy stage in the blood, or malaria.
5. Then these have become, as we find, rather localized.
6. Hence we have a mental and a nervous and a muscular disturbance, which we find combined in one; yet oft these VARIED effects give reactions in themselves through the physical conditions of the body.
7. As we find, then, in making for replenishing forces in the system:
8. It would be necessary first that there be a vitalizing force in the circulatory forces of the body. A portion of helpful effects may be brought about in the diet, but there must be set up or stimulated a circulation that will be more effective, as it were - or more activative than at present, in what may be termed (for this body) that BETWEEN the superficial and the deeper circulation.
9. Hence while the food values should be body-building, in the first they should not be so rich in vitamins or calories or replenishing forces as not to be able to be handled by the digestive forces or the katabolism of the system. For if these were to produce such engorgements in the beginning, they would be less effective and later very destructive to the better influences through the body.
10. But use those foods that are rich in the vitamins that make for a stimulation to a lymph circulation.
11. And we would CONTROL same by the massages and the low electrical forces that may be had by the hand violet ray.
12. And rather than making most of these applications of the violet ray with the bulb appliance, we would use the rod that charges the whole system - and especially to the lower limbs.
13. These would be the helpful applications to this body, then, [1137], as we find:
14. First we would have two to three times each day an ounce and a half to two ounces of tomato juice; also the rich vitamins from the milk that is dried, or milk and egg, milk with bread that would be crumbled in same. Have these as a great portion of the diet. To be sure, these would be well- balanced with a diet consisting of a great deal of citrus fruit, the vitamins that may be had in Maltex or whole wheat as a cereal. But do not take the cereals at the same period when the citrus fruit juices are taken in the system; do not take them even on the same day!
15. Have raw vegetables during the noon portion of the day.
16. And have a well-balanced cooked vegetable diet for the evening meal, using three vegetables grown above the ground to one grown below; with lamb, fowl or fish.
17. Each day we would have a treatment of the violet ray. On Tuesdays and Fridays have the bulb applicator used from base of brain to the end of spine, and along the sciatic center, even to the lower portion of the feet. On the other days of the week have just the rod applicator where the electrical charge is taken, and let at least two or three of such treatments each week be with the rod to the feet, rather than held in the hand.
18. We would have the oil rubs; a combination of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh - equal portions, heating the oil to add the myrrh. Always rub AWAY FROM the head, and TOWARDS the lower extremities.
19. These, as we find, would offer those helpful forces for the body, for the next six weeks. Then we would give further instructions.
20. Ready for questions.
21. (Q) Is there a clot on the brain, as doctors have diagnosed same?
    (A) It is rather the condition as described, in which there is a leakage - and it makes for a pressure on LYMPH, rather than being a clot. This may form into a clot unless the eliminations may be kept so, and the building up may be made so as to prevent these pressures increasing.
22. We are through for the present.
