This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 25th day of June, 1937, in accordance with request made by the father - Mr. [...], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mr. [257].

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

TEXT

1. EC: Yes.
2. These are rather serious disturbances as we find with this body, [1393].
3. This is of a structural nature, and involves conditions as related to prenatal as well as developments from an accident which the body has had.
4. These then are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1393].
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find there is the indication of inflammation as well as lacking of elements, which has been a part of the disturbance - a lacking of calcium for proper structural development.
6. Hence with the disturbance or injury in the pelvic portion, or in the hip, we find a development that may be termed a hip-joint disturbance.
7. This naturally will require some very careful and some very close considerations.
8. As we find, while much might be of a help administered in a local manner, these for the body - to be sure, for the better - must be under the supervision of a hip-joint specialist.
9. While there has been some very good care given, as we find there hasn't been as much consideration as should be as to the diet for the production in the system of the elements that would not only aid but be a helpful influence in destroying and overcoming the conditions that have been involved.
10. We find that the high electrical vibratory forces are the most helpful, but these of themselves alone only destroy the irritating forces.
11. Hence there must be, with a building for the glandular system, those added forces of the natures as to supply structural development for the body in the elements that will build bone, nerve, tissue, and the natural structural forces of the body.
12. These we find must be part of the consideration.
13. Hence these elements - especially the Vitamins D, the Vitamins A - have been and, with the high vibratory forces, must be a part of the diet; or additions to the system in such measures and manners that there may be the assimilation of the elements so that there may be the distribution - through the applications - to affected parts.
14. Naturally the NERVE SYSTEM suffers under the stress and strain.
15. IN THE ORGANS also there has been, naturally, the attempt in the body for the creating of the necessary forces for structural disturbances and the activities in the system.
16. These have made inroads or produced a weakness especially in the glandular forces and the constructive forces in assimilations.
17. THEN AS WE FIND, MAKING FOR THE BETTERED CONDITIONS, LET ALL OF THESE THINGS BE CONSIDERED - BUT UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A HIP-JOINT SPECIALIST!
18. But consider the things that have been indicated that must be a part of the whole application for helpful conditions to the body, [1393].
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) What was the nature of the accident?
    (A) Sitting down hard as the developments of the body were under way.
    You see, it is only in the developing stage as yet.
21. (Q) What has been the benefit of the treatment the body has had during the past year?
    (A) This has been helpful in allaying, or in checking; yet there has not been the progress as far as should be because of those influences as indicated not being given due consideration. These done, we would find bettered conditions.
    We would change physicians!
22. (Q) Which of these doctors are best to work with? Dr. Kleinberg, 1 West 85th St., Dr. Barclay Moffat, 333 East 42nd St., Dr. Fred H. Albee, 57 West 57th St.?
    (A) Kleinberg we find preferable.
23. (Q) Or is there another that would be suggested as the better?
    (A) Kleinberg as we find the better.
24. (Q) Would an operation be helpful?
    (A) Not unless there is an accumulation indicated by X-Rays in the socket or pocket of the joint itself. It as we find would only tend, under the existing circumstances, to make for a stiffness that would continue to exist. But these measures may become necessary if infection goes farther along.
    But as we find, if all conditions are considered, the high vibratory forces - the electrical forces, for destruction of the inflammatory forces - and bodily forces built through assimilations of the vitamins and forces necessary for the circulatory system, an operation may be avoided.
    While there will be a catch, this condition should be reduced without serious hindrance to the activities of the body.
25. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 6/22/37 Mr. [257]'s letter: "She is so beautiful and very clever and it's a pity to let her grow up with her present deformity. It seems that doctors claim there is something wrong with the sockets in her hip bones, and they have done everything they could for her and now the doctors suggest an operation." [Born 10/10/33]
