Edgar Cayce Readings, 1465-11

Time and Place: 10:55 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Ky.

TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes.
Here we find conditions in some respects show betterment, in others they are not so well.
This complication has turned to the inability of the system to give the vital energies to nerve and muscular forces of the body.
These as we find would be materially aided now through leaving off the Packs (as these tend in the present to sap the vitality because of the heat), and massaging the body once each day with all the body will absorb of Peanut Oil, - especially the spine AND the abdomen, gently.
Have as much liver and liver extract as the body can assimilate each day. This should be calves' liver, and should be broiled - NOT fried nor roasted, but broiled, so as to preserve the juices.
Even the injections of liver extract, as prepared for such, would be beneficial.
Do these for at least six weeks; then we would give further instructions, as these properties assimilate and work with the body.
We are through with this Reading.

REPORTS

8/21/40 Mother's letter to EC:
"My son, [1465], whom you have given several Psychic Readings wishes me to write to you again concerning his case.
"The last reading of July 6th advised to massage body with peanut oil especially the spine and abdomen. Should this be kept up right on and should the WHOLE body be massaged with the Peanut Oil each day? He also wishes to ask what have been the results of cases like or similar to his after following the instructions given in the Readings for them.
"[1465] seems a little stronger than when we stopped the Castor Oil packs. But so far as moving or being able to control the muscles there is no improvement so far as we can tell.
"He is very anxious to get well or to get some relief. He has never given up, and seems just as anxious and hopeful that we can find something for him to help him as he was when first stricken with this trouble. He is in a very pitiful condition. We take care of him same as ever, still hoping for something to be found that will help him. He is always anxious to hear what the Readings report.
"Hoping we have not put you to too much inconvenience by asking the above questions:
"Will you please let us hear from you as soon as you well can. Thanking you for your previous interest in [1465]'s case and best wishes to you in your work." Sincerely, [...]
8/27/40 EC's ltr. to [1465]'s mother:
"Can well imagine how anxious [1465] becomes at times, and while am very disappointed that he hasn't responded more readily to the suggestions made from time to time, do hope that soon you will see real improvement. Yes - would keep up the massages with the Oil, and very soon will try and see what may be suggested again. Yes, think were the whole body massaged that you would get best results - a care I am sure yet - one if it will but help you are glad to do.
"We have had several cases similar to [1465]'s. Some have done wonderfully well, others have gotten discouraged and did little improvement. All depends to be sure on the response made. [1465]'s age should be for him - and do hope yet that he will get real help.
"Please don't ever feel it is a bother. Am anxious to try and help and do hope yet things will work out right."
7/60 In Dr. W. N. Pahnke's breakdown of 96 cases of epilepsy from the Edgar Cayce records he classified Case [1465] in group 3, saying: "It appears definitely not to have been epilepsy. From descriptions of the disease it could very well have been Parkinson's disease."
