This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 29th day of January, 1938, in accordance with request made by the self - Miss [1524], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mrs. [1223]'s cousin.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Miss [1524].

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Miss [1524].
2. Now as we find, an analysis or description of the disturbing conditions and the effects would appear as if a great many disturbing conditions existed with this body.
3. Yet as we find these in their causes arise from rather a specific disturbance. Yet the effects that have been produced from the disturbance are varied in the body.
4. These then are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1524] we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. As we find, first - there is a disturbance with the glandular forces of the system, especially as related to the thyroid and its effect in the ACTIVITIES of same through the system UPON portions of the body.
6. In the blood supply it creates a lack in the influences that would tend to make for the proper coagulation or stamina in the system as related to the circulations through functioning systems.
7. This is indicated in activities from used energies, as in portions of the throat and head, and the tendency to make for the falling or giving away of the soft tissue of the throat and the like.
8. The inclinations are thus produced, or the indications and the easiness with which the body is affected by cold or congestion; and the effect produced upon the stability through the activities of the eustachian tube, as related to the hearing - especially in the left portion.
9. Again we find the effects as related to the glandular system of the digestive forces, and the inclination for the organs of digestion or the stomach to fall or tip.
10. Or, in the activities, there is the lack of the ability to keep portions of the system in their proper relationships as one to another; by overactivity of the energies used and the lack of the abilities of the assimilating system to produce those effects in the body for the resistances needed.
11. And the body then tires easily, whether from physical or mental exertion or from reactions purely through the nerve forces of the body.
12. Also we find the same indicated through the activities of the lower portion of the hepatic circulation. Thus there is an indication at times of the excess activities from the kidneys to the general eliminating system; PRODUCING the effect of lack of proper coordination between the eliminating systems.
13. Hence at times this causes even the perspiratory system and the respiratory system to become at variance one to another.
14. Then at times there is the feeling over portions of the body as of irritation, yet no disturbance other than the FEELING of irritation and the necessity for massage or rubbing or the like in portions of the superficial circulation itself.
15. These as we find arise from the disturbances as indicated in the lack of the proper activity, and the coordinating with the rest of the functioning of the system, with that particular portion of the glandular system.
16. Yet in making applications for effective activities in the body, as would bring about normalcy for the system, the effects that have been produced upon the nervous system, the conditions produced upon the activity of the lymph or emunctory reactions, as well as upon disturbed organs themselves, must be taken into consideration.
17. That is, effects as well as causes must be stimulated for activity to bring the better or the near normal forces for this body of [1524].
18. In making applications for the body, as we find:
19. First we would begin - preferably under the supervision of physician - with small quantities of the Thyroid Extract; that would not only make for some quickening to the activity of the circulatory system, as related to the central nervous system, but so give strengthening to the assimilating system as to carry to all portions of the body greater resistance and greater vitality for activity through the body itself.
20. Also:
21. We would begin with the use of the electrical vibratory forces as would come from the low static from the Copper Sulphate solution. But these as we find might be used, or would be used for the BETTER effects, both for a stimulation to the circulation and for a supplying to the ganglia and the reactions through the assimilating center and the cerebrospinal or deeper circulation the vibratory forces of elements that will stimulate the NERVE ganglia for their stamina - and its resultant activity upon revitalizing the whole of the nervous system.
22. Hence, in the use of such a Wet Cell Appliance we would alternate the attachments. One day it would be used plain, with the small anodes that would be attached to opposite extremities of the body. The next day it would be used carrying a Chloride of Gold Solution, or its vibratory forces, into the active force of the nervous energies of the body; through a large nickel plate or anode which would be attached to the lacteal duct or umbilicus plexus, while the first plate attached - the small copper plate or anode - would be attached first (being the positive), to the 9th dorsal plexus.
23. Each of the two methods of attachment would be used every other day, and for a period of about twenty to thirty minutes only.
24. Every other day when the Appliance is used Plain, with the small anodes, the attachments about the extremities would circulate in this manner:
25. 1st: Make the first attachment to the right wrist, the last attachment to the left ankle (the first plate attached becoming the positive, the last the negative, see?)
26. The next day use the Appliance with the Gold Solution, as indicated.
27. 2nd: Make the first attachment to the left wrist, the last attachment to the right ankle.
28. The next day use the Gold Solution.
29. 3rd: Make the first attachment to the left ankle, the last attachment to the right wrist.
30. The next day use the Gold Solution.
31. 4th: Make the first attachment to the right ankle, the last attachment to the left ankle. Thus a circle of the body has been made by the attachments.
32. Use the Gold Solution the next day.
33. Then commence all over again.
34. The Chloride of Gold Solution would be in the proportions of two grains to each ounce of Distilled Water.
35. Then the applications for the RETAINING of the proper position of the stomach and digestive organs should be such, with the use of a belt or tape in such a manner, that there is not the too easily emptying of the organ itself - or the tendency for the creating of gases or the lack of proper digestive fluids active upon that taken into the system. This would be preferably, then, as we find, a form that while easy is retentive or RETAINS the position of the stomach itself.
36. As for the conditions in the throat, and as for the hearing and as for the general conditions where there are the inclinations for the DROOPING:
37. These we find would be altered or changed in their reaction by the response of the whole body to the recuperative forces produced by those activities through the glandular forces and the assistance made to the assimilating system and the nerve forces themselves by the use of the Appliance and the applications indicated.
38. We would take precautions as to the diet, in keeping towards the alkalizing; or we would have at least an eighty percent alkalin-reacting diet to a twenty percent acid-reaction.
39. Do these as we find, if we would bring the better forces for this body.
40. Ready for questions.
41. (Q) Is the kidney dropped again?
    (A) There is the inclination, as has been indicated, for the organs themselves to appear so. But if the vibrations are set up in the manner as has been indicated, we would find ALL of these would assume more of a NORMAL position and condition.
42. (Q) This can be done without surgery?
    (A) As we find, this can be done WITHOUT surgery; taking exercises for this - the pedaling exercise, of course - with the body in those positions for same.
43. (Q) Is that what is causing my symptoms of pain and soreness through the abdominal region?
    (A) This as we find, combined with the NERVE condition; this flagging or nagging condition - which arises, as has been explained, from the lack of hormones in the blood flow for the supplying to the organic FUNCTIONINGS that stamina to keep the proper coagulations or positions for the functioning system.
44. (Q) Can the hearing on the right side be restored?
    (A) As indicated, with the use of these vibratory forces in the body, and the increase of the influences upon the circulatory forces, all portions will be RENEWED. This comes FROM the left side, you see - that is, the impulses that cross. These effects are to the NERVE forces, of course, from FAGGED MUSCULAR force; and these would be stimulated - by the applications indicated - to proper and near to normal activity.
45. (Q) Why is the tube congested and no air through it?
    (A) As indicated, the tube becomes congested from those inclinations from cold, or from the tending of the palate or the soft tissue to drop DOWN! And this produces the fullness in that portion.
    Of course, unless there are changes, these are inclined to make for irritation that becomes in the nature of congestion; so as to produce PERMANENT injury - or such that constitutional conditions, as may be called, would arise.
46. (Q) What advice regarding my eyes? Should I take any special exercises for them?
    (A) The head and neck exercises, as well as the other GENERAL activity, would be very well for the body.
47. (Q) Can the sinus condition be cured?
    (A) All of this becomes a portion of the same disturbance as indicated, that while the appearance from EFFECTS produced is that there are many VARYING conditions, it will be found that with the cause reached in the manner indicated, ALL of these will respond to those suggestions indicated for bringing normalcy.
    Do that.
    Do those things as we have indicated and we should find, by the time there has been at least the second necessity for recharging of the Wet Cell Appliance, near to normalcy may be attained.
48. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 1/29/38 She submitted the questions.

REPORTS

1. GD's memo: Miss [1524], I just remembered that a friend of mine in Norfolk has a Wet Cell Appliance - and I'm sure she will be glad to lend it to you for the period you will need it. Of course, there may be some slight alterations for your case - and perhaps you will need different anodes or something - I don't remember just how she was to attach hers, or the solution used. But I'm sure she will be glad to help you get it rigged up, as she knows how to get it done - also how to apply it. Her name is:
   Miss Christian Mae Bailey (we call her "Pat") 2332 Ballentine Blvd., Norfolk, Va.
   But she works in Portsmouth in the office of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, so perhaps you could phone her there. Tell her I asked you to ask HER to help you get started. Then if you have trouble getting it set up we'll come over and "demonstrate" it for you. Let me hear.
2. 2/25/40 Reply to Questionnaire: "I am sorry, but I must be frank with you, and the following will tell you clearly how I feel about your association.
   "I gained no knowledge or benefit from the so-called - physical reading. And which in my judgement was merely a repetition of the information that I gave the secretary previous to the reading, and which was probably relayed to the reader for his benefit prior to the reading.
   "Therefore, I cannot but realize my mistake in making such contact, and especially paying $20.00 for it.
   "Please make no attempt at further correspondence, unless you wish to refund my money."
   Sincerely, [1524]
