This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 11th day of May, 1938, in accordance with request made by the self - Miss [1522], Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Miss [1522].
2. Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions; yet the suggestions here as we would give would be more in the direction for corrections that may prevent further disturbances - and the inclinations.
3. Rather than so much of disease, it is dis-ease in the present.
4. These then are the conditions as we find them with this body, Miss [1522].
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this indicates - from its activity, its irregularity, and the pressures produced between the circulation of the lungs, heart and liver - that there is a source of toxic poisoning.
6. And there is in many periods excess acidity.
7. These as we find arise from inclinations and tendencies in the structural portion of the body; and the effects that are created through the activity of the colon, the lack of eliminations, the disturbance at times with some of the glandular forces of the system.
8. The source we find arising from subluxations in the structural portion of the cerebrospinal system, especially in the lower portion of the cervical, almost THROUGHOUT the dorsal, and the lack of coordination of the lumbar axis with the reflexes from the 9th dorsal plexus.
9. IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, naturally, these pressures produce the inabilities of the body to rest well, or the inclination towards insomnia because of the very pressures upon the nervous system as related to their coordination between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems in the areas indicated.
10. The greatest subluxation as we find is in the 2nd and 3rd dorsal area, and pressures in or throughout almost the whole of the cervical area.
11. And the lumbar axis is so disturbed as to make even the pelvic balance to be shifted, especially on the left side.
12. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS OF THE SYSTEM, because of the nerve disturbance we find the inclination for the upsetting of the assimilating system at times; the feeling of a fullness after meals, as of a gas formation; lack of proper elimination; distention in a portion of the colon area itself.
13. THEN, FOR THE CORRECTIONS:
14. We would have at least six to ten osteopathic adjustments covering those particular areas indicated. These would be taken about twice a week until six or eight or ten are taken.
15. About two or three weeks apart we would have a high colonic irrigation, to remove the toxic forces; until at least two or three are taken.
16. Occasionally, about two or three - possibly four times a week we would take a quarter teaspoonful of Alcaroid after the heavy meal of the day; the period it is taken and frequency depending upon just how severe the gastric flow appears.
17. As we find these will remove the inclinations that are causing disturbance in the heart or blood pressure, the toxic forces, and allow the body to sleep much better.
18. Do these.
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) What diet should I follow?
    (A) A well balanced diet, but not such a severity as to unbalance or not to work with the changes being made in creating the correct balance in the alkalinity and the acidity of the system. Hence in the diet we would keep about a twenty-percent acid-producing to an eighty-percent alkalin-producing diet.
    Beware of mixing white breads, white potatoes, spaghetti or macaroni, any two of these at the same meal. Beware of too much of the sweets, especially until there is a full cleansing of the colon. The sweets taken should be preferably honey or its products.
    Plenty of fresh fruits, fresh vegetables - these would be well.
21. (Q) What is the best laxative to use?
    (A) This should vary with varied experiences. As we find, if those manipulations and adjustments are taken as indicated, also the colonic irrigations, a laxative will not be necessary for some time. If it is necessary later, take preferably the vegetable compounds rather than the mineral - for the body.
22. (Q) Would you recommend Dr. Dobbins [Frank P. Dobbins, D.O.] or Dr. Miller [Mary A. Miller, D.C.] for the osteopathic treatments?
    (A) Dr. Dobbins.
23. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 1/26/38 She obtained a Life Reading - 1522-1.
2. 4/30/38 Reporting on her Life Rdg. she added a P.S.: "I think I should have a Physical Rdg. I do not sleep as well as I might and in order to function at my best my body should be taken care of."
3. 5/05/38 She submitted questions: "What is the cause and remedy for my toxic condition? Why do I have sleepless nights, or comparatively sleepless? What should I do to help high blood pressure? What diet should I follow? What is the best laxative to use? I have had such wonderful health all my life and have so little to complain of now, but in order to function to the best I would very much like a guide to follow."

REPORTS

1. 5/14/38 [1522]'s ltr. to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   Again I am deeply grateful for the Reading, (physical), which you have given me. From the beginning - dis-ease completely expresses my condition for I am not diseased. I have had one treatment from Dr. Dobbins, where he found as predicted the unbalance of the pelvis on the left side, he is giving me a complete finding on my next visit, Tuesday next to send to you. I shall indeed follow conscientiously the directions given. I have had the best nights sleep in a long while & look forward to a continuous period of rest & sleep in the months ahead.
   Dr. Hardwicke [Henry S. W. Hardwicke, M.D.] was much impressed by the reading. I said "What Doctor could have put his finger so accurately on the cause of your trouble it is intensely interesting & remarkable." Now I know I am on the right track & feel free to go ahead, both in my diet & course of treatment.
   I also showed it to Mr. Hugh Lynn who stressed my attention to every detail.
   With gratitude for your personal interest & incalculable help.
   Very sincerely yours, [1522]
   May God continue to bless you & your work & all who assist in the same.
2. 5/17/38 Miss [1522]'s letter: "I enclose Dr. Dobbins' report [see below MEMO] which is exactly as your reading showed. I am getting such help from him, and for two nights after first treatment slept well. He is going to give me exercises to keep me in good condition. I am so grateful to you and the Association."
   5/13/38 MEMO to Miss [1522] from Dr. Dobbins:
   Sacro-iliac subluxation with compensatory lesions throughout dorsal and cervical region.
   Very bad lesions from 2nd to 5th dorsal vertebrae. F.P.D.
3. 5/31/38 [1522]'s ltr. to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   I have wanted to write you before this but could not manage it, you seem like an old friend and I hope you are for we seem to have much in common. I feel the same way with Hugh Lynn whom we are going to miss greatly, it is not often one meets such a splendid person, it shows what can be done by "living the Life".
   Dr. Dobbins says he is satisfied at my progress, he admits I am very tense and a lot of work is needed on my spine in the dorsal region. I still have not regained my sleep, but I supplement his treatments with the Radionic Box of yours, and am doing very nicely thank you.
   Please tell Mr. Hugh Lynn that I think but for the Grace of God I might have been a Manic Depressive, when I read my Life, and realize what an emotional person I am, where [were?] it not for my experience among such and my health of body I could easily have gone into such a state. He can use my history if he likes. It came from both the Astral and the Earth experiences.
   How I wish I could attend the Congress at Virginia Beach. I shall hold the thought and perhaps it will come to pass. I'll be there in spirit anyway.
   Thanking you for all your help and kindness, and assuring you how much I appreciate the privilege of doing something to help Mr. Hugh Lynn and the Association.
   Affectionately, (if I may), [1522]
4. 6/19/38 "I am sleeping so very much better since following the instructions given through you, and feel better in every way, but what I like best is the spiritual incentive given to cultivate the 'points of the spirit' that to me is the pith and kernel, the 'gold' of all your work, than which there can be none higher."
5. 8/25/38 "Dr. Dobbins has been so very helpful. I do hope I can resume my treatments when I return [to N.Y.C.] in the fall."
6. 12/07/38 "What I wanted to say over the phone this morning is how well I am feeling, the proof of my reading is now, after returning from the country to work, I am sleeping better, have better elimination and assimilation. I am indeed finding myself, am fatter than I have ever been, and have a deep inward content that nothing can shake. I wonder too if you guess intuitively another source of happiness that has come to me after all the years. I would like you to know of it but cannot speak of it. If you know, it is between us and God. You cannot help but be blessed when your heart is so in tune with God."
7. 3/16/39 "I am in the best of health and happiness, thanks to the Giver of all good - and am most humbly grateful each day."
8. 6/30/39 She sponsored a Physical Rdg. for Miss [1953].

   I find - posture sacro-iliac lesion subluxation compensatory changes through out the upper dorsal and cervical areas. I find a great many times there is a difference in nomenclature of the osteopathic lesion. The reading may call them one thing I another but it amounts to the same thing. With my familiarity with the readings I'm able to interpret them.

13. 4/16/46 Miss [2081]'s letter [used in her own 2081-2 Reports]:
    "...I was in D.C. at the time of Miss [1522]'s death, had been there for several months, assisting a man who was doing research in the Congressional Library. We were both extremely busy and I hardly had time to look at the daily papers, and never bought one myself until this day in Sept. And there, looking out at me from the briefer death notices was, 'Entered into Life, [1522].'
    "I am sure that was the way she wanted it worded for she looked forward joyfully to the going. But to me it was a shock. I had seen her in July when I came back to N.Y. for a week. I knew that she had high blood pressure and did not want the doctor for whom she worked to know. Aside from that she seemed well. I've missed her and still miss her. She did a great deal for me..."
