This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 11th day of August, 1938, in accordance with request made by the mother - Mrs. [2511], Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

TEXT

1. GC: You will give the present physical condition, giving suggestions for corrective measures - with special reference to faulty development of enamel on teeth; answering the questions submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - as we find in the present with this body, [1434], as in reference to faulty development of the enamel:
3. There is a glandular disturbance, especially in the thyroid. And this as we find has caused and does cause improper activity especially in reference to the enamel, the cuticle, and - unless corrections are made - WILL be in reference more to the condition on fingers and toes, as well as hair!
4. In the upper dorsal and through the cervical area we find some impingements, that impair the impulse - that is, for flow from the activities of the gland through the vagus circulation.
5. This condition combined with an unbalanced condition in the chemical reaction of the system causes the specific disturbance for the teeth in the present.
6. We would have six to ten adjustments osteopathically - not chiropractically, but osteopathically. We would take these about twice a week until six or eight or even ten are taken.
7. Then as these are begun, use Ipsab as a wash and as a massage for gums as well as teeth. About three or four times each week massage the gums thoroughly, upper and lower, inside and out, by using the finger or a small tuft of cotton wet with the Ipsab. Then rinse the mouth with a little of the Ipsab; then of course rinse with a little clear water after same - about three times each week.
8. Also begin almost immediately with Calcios as an added force or manner through which calcium may be added to the system. This would be taken as indicated for same.
9. It would be well for the body to have Codiron as a long time diet, or tonic in the diet; one pellet each day for at least a hundred days, see? this to be taken with the meal.
10. And in the regular diet keep away from fried foods. Not too much of starches, but plenty of nuts, fruits and vegetables. Use whole wheat bread. Have whole wheat as a cereal occasionally; this crushed or cut, and used once or twice a week.
11. These as we find would make for the correcting of the glandular force, adding to the vitality of the system, correcting the condition of the teeth, preventing further inroads in these directions - and give much more vitality and pep to the body.
12. Ready for questions.
13. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 8/01/38 Letter from [1434]'s mother [2511]: "...Expect you'll be surprised to hear from me. I enjoyed your letter from some time back so very much, and now I want you to come to my assistance again.
   "[1434], (our youngest daughter) has been having so much trouble with her permanent teeth. I thought it might be wise to ask Mr. Cayce to give her a reading. You ask any questions you want, etc., etc. I'd like to have a CHECK reading. Please ask the CAUSE and CURE of the trouble with her permanent teeth... She has never had any serious illness.
   "1. Why does she have faulty development of the enamel? 2. Why do these white spots occur on the lip and lining surfaces of her permanent teeth? Later these white spots develop into cavities. 3. Why does decay develop in this child's teeth? 4. What course to proceed to correct this condition?..."

REPORTS

1. 9/01/38 Letter from [1434]'s mother [2511]: "...[1434] has been taking her osteopathic treatments for the past two weeks, also taking her medicines and massaging gums and teeth (which she says is VERY TERRIBLE!). She really hasn't had a chance to show any improvement but the vertebra rotation lesion seems to be better.
   "Appreciate your splendid reading, and hope we will get results.
   "Enclosed find check for five dollars. Will send remaining amount next month.
   "The name of our Osteopath is Dr. J. M. Harden [John M. Harden, D.O.], 611 Central Union Bldg. (He is the only one in town).
   "Kindest regards to you and Mrs. Cayce. Please remember us to Gladys..."
