This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 28th day of March, 1939, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [1852], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., through her daughter, via her son, Mr. [1693].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [1852]'s two daughters.

TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1852].
3. As we find, there is rather the complication of disturbances that interfere or that cause the disturbance through the circulatory system, as well as in the functioning of the organs of the body.
4. These then, as we find, are the conditions at present with this body, [1852].
5. In the blood supply, - this we find indicates a great deal of toxic disturbance, and a very slow activity of the liver. This, when there is the more of the toxic forces, affects the circulation between the heart, the liver and the lungs.
6. Thus we have the tendency for an engorgement of the heart itself.
7. However, as we find, though this is of long standing, it is only a part of the real cause, or of the disturbing condition.
8. In the blood supply also we find, through the toxic forces indicated, there is a disturbance with the lower hepatic circulation.
9. These tend to make for greater hardships in the assimilating and eliminating system; and there is a plethoric condition existent in the colon area, - which is indicated by the very nature and character of the disturbing forces through the system.
10. The effect of this disturbance upon the nervous system, - both to the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic, - is not good.
11. Those effects in the cerebrospinal system HAVE been a part of the first causes of the condition, while those in the sympathetic and superficial are rather now the contributory.
12. Thus we have this complication of disturbances through th body.
13. Those activities of the sympathetic system, when there are the recurrent disturbances with the liver or the heart's activity, bring a great deal of anxiety, and rather acute disturbances through portions of the system.
14. In the activity of the organs themselves, - as has been indicated, with these disturbances in the nervous systems, as well as the organs of circulatory forces, anxiety is produced sympathetically as well as reflexly to the activity of the organs that involved in the disturbance.
15. Then, in making applications that would be most beneficial, we find that, - while there must be the precautionary measures, and the occasional consulting of one who may make the experimentation or take the blood pressure, and check up on the variations as will arise, - the greater portion of those activities which would be the more beneficial may be applied by the body, or those about same FOR the body, for the greater corrections.
16. First, as we find:
17. There should be the use of the high or higher enemas, to relieve the tension on the colon area.
18. After the second colonic irrigation (these given about three or four days apart), begin with the Zilatone as an eliminant. Take it in this manner:
19. Take one tablet with a full glass of water after the morning meal. After the evening meal of that same day take two tablets with a full glass or glass and a half to two glasses of water.
20. After this has acted well, then rest for at least two days.
21. Then take another enema to cleanse the colon; and then take the Zilatone for another day.
22. Also of an evening we would use Apple Vinegar with heavy Salt, heated, across the liver and the gall duct area. The salt is to be dampened with the vinegar, you see; and it is to be much more than a saturated solution, of course; that is, it is to be much more heavy with the salt, you see, - and have it just as warm as is practical not to burn but to relieve the great tension over the gall duct and portion of the liver areas.
23. As well as doing these, we would be very mindful of the diet, - that there are no fats nor great quantity of greases taken. Refrain altogether from fried foods, as much as practical. Vegetables, raw as well as cooked, should form the principal part of the diet; though fish, fowl or lamb should be taken as portions of the diet.
24. If these are kept consistently, in the manner to keep up the eliminations and to make for the activity of the liver and the gall duct to coordinate with the activity of the circulatory forces through the liver, heart and lungs as well as the general system, we should gradually find a great improvement; and the relieving of the tension - of course - by removing the pressure in the colon, or ascending or transverse and descending colon, will remove a great deal of the pressure and the gas forming that gives the greater disturbance through those portions of the body.
25. Ready for questions.
26. (Q) What causes weakness in left side?
    (A) This is the strain upon those portions of the abdominal area where there is the plethoric condition in the transverse and the curve or the descending colon; and this pressure naturally makes for the hindering of the circulatory forces, - which produces a weakness, or the like as if the body was paralyzed.
27. (Q) What causes the food to sour on stomach and weaken the body?
    (A) The inability of the eliminating system to take care of same. Hence those suggestions for removing first the stoppages in the colon; and quantities of mucous and the like will be indicated in the colon, as well as in the activity of the glandular forces through the liver, - which produce the pressures to those areas of the system.
    When these are cleansed and there is again the gastric flow through the duodenum and the pyloric portion of the stomach, we will find foods will digest much better.
    Hence those precautions as indicated, that there should be as little or no quantities of fats or greases, - for these tend to make it much harder for the system under the present conditions.
    These precautions, of course, should not be to such an extent that it makes for a weakening of the body, - but these as we find if they are followed in the manner indicated will remove the greater portion of the disturbance.
28. (Q) What causes the mouth and stomach to be irritated at times?
    (A) Too much acidity that causes the regurgitation of the acid in those portions, as to produce the soreness.
29. (Q) Are my kidneys in good condition?
    (A) As just indicated, these are disturbed naturally by the excess of toxic forces that attempt to be eliminated. FUNCTIONALLY they are disturbed, ORGANICALLY we do not find any great hindrance in the present that will not be materially aided if there is the cleansing activity and the diet of the system followed along the lines indicated.
30. (Q) Do I have gall bladder trouble?
    (A) As indicated, this is a portion of the disturbance.
31. (Q) Is it alright to use club aluminum waterless cooker for preparing my food?
    (A) This is very well, but PREFERABLY Patapar Paper is the better manner for preparing food, especially for this body during the periods that the properties or foods and the medicinal applications are being administered.
    Of course, there are some foods that are affected in their activity by aluminum, - especially in the preparation of certain fruits, or tomatoes, or cabbage. But most others, it is very well.
32. (Q) What causes missing heart?
    (A) The pressure and the disturbance in the circulation, as indicated.
    Do as we have outlined here, and we will bring the much nearer normal conditions for this body.
33. We are through for the present.
