This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 27th day of May, 1938, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [1315] through Active Membership of husband in Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1315]; this we have had before.
2. Now as we find, conditions in a main or general manner are somewhat better than we have had here before.
3. However, there are disturbances; and these would be less, or there would be nearer normal conditions if there had been corrections in some of those areas as indicated heretofore - from which pressures arise upon portions of the system as to prevent the normal functioning of the glandular forces as related to portions of the circulation.
4. These then are conditions as we find with this body in the present, [1315] we are speaking of:
5. First, in the blood supply we find a very good condition save at times when there are those cycles of a reaction from pressures that exist along the cerebrospinal system in the areas that have been indicated; from the 9th dorsal to the end of the spine.
6. These pressures produce deflections between the sympathetic or vegetative nervous system and the cerebrospinal system, as to deflect the activity of the glandular system as related to the adrenals - or THEIR relationships to the circulatory forces from the 4th lumbar downward.
7. These HAVE been areas where such deflections, as indicated, have caused - from the pressures created - the inclination for the formation of reflexes called arthritic reactions.
8. Through the massage, the hydrotherapy AND the treatments that were indicated through such periods, much of the CAUSE was eliminated; but not sufficient was there of the removal of pressures as to prevent the deflection of the locomotary centers as related to the lower limbs and through the lower portion of the abdominal area.
9. Then as these exist, we find that in their cycle - owing to the change in atmospheric pressure as related to the activity of the body in the various forms of conditions or seasons - these become as it were rather that inclination for seasonal disturbances.
10. In the nervous system, then, we find the source or the basis of such disturbances - in the areas indicated.
11. Then as we find, we would have two or three series of treatments osteopathically. Have these about twice a week for two or three weeks, then leave off for ten days or two weeks, then take them again for another series; continuing in this manner until at least the third series has been taken.
12. This should, with the proper adjustments and relieving of the pressures, overcome those tendencies through the areas.
13. The effect as we have upon the organs of the system as related to these pressures: At times we find there would be deflections to the assimilating system; the body becomes easily upset. At others we will find the deflection (that is, from these pressures) coming more to the cycle of the circulatory forces as related to the superficial circulation; and there is the inclination for a light rash - or portions of the body, torso as well as limbs, have periods of not only swelling but areas where there is the inclination to rub - though there is little or no abrasion save deep under the SECOND cuticle or the epidermis itself.
14. In the activity to the rest of the system, we will find the clearing of these as indicated will make for better relationships as to activity of the kidneys, better relationships for the activity of the glandular forces as these connect with the thyroids, and a better activity throughout.
15. Then as we find, have those corrections in the areas indicated; gently given, with the stimulation occasionally of the low form of electrical vibratory forces. Not that the hydrotherapy would be left off, but there are the needs for specific adjustments in the areas indicated.
16. Ready for questions.
17. (Q) Who would you suggest to give these treatments?
    (A) Dobbins as we find would be well.
18. (Q) When swelling occurs in right ankle, what can I do to alleviate it at the time (until the cause of it as indicated is corrected)?
    (A) The application of saturated solution of Epsom Salts in packs over the lumbar and sacral area will relieve same; hot, you see - not applied to the limb itself but on the back. But these effects should disappear with the first series of the treatments.
19. (Q) Is there any form of footwear that would be best?
    (A) Any of those for this body that carry the cushion sole would be the preferable.
20. (Q) Is the swelling a glandular condition or from faulty circulation?
    (A) As we have indicated, it is partly both.
21. (Q) Can this condition be the result of a pregnancy 23 years ago?
    (A) As was formerly indicated, and as has been given, it is the effect of the pressures produced by abnormal conditions arising FROM SUCH conditions as these. These (the pregnancy results) were contributory to it, as we find.
22. We are through with this Reading.
