This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Virginia, this 1st day of September, 1939, in accordance with request made by the self - Miss [1988], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by her brother, Mr. [...] [[810]'s husband].

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

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 which she has submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1988].
3. Now as we find, the disturbances which prevent the better normal physical functioning are compound in their nature; thus causing rather a complication of disturbances, - as affect the functionings of the assimilating system, as well as the general eliminating through the excretory system.
4. This, combined with impulses which arise from subluxations which exist in the cerebrospinal system, is the basis of the disturbance.
5. The body has been and is rather inclined to be one that has cared for, and is well equipped mentally and physically to make for corrections. Thus, resistances are very good in the general system.
6. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1988] we are speaking of:
7. In the blood supply we find indications of disturbances through the elimination and activities in the liver and gall duct area.
8. Hence, through the manner in which the body has handled self, we have an inclination for what may be called a nervous indigestion; that is, at times certain combinations disagree with the body when at others apparently they are most beneficial to the body-appetites as well as to the activity of the system.
9. Yet those inclinations, those tendencies in these directions, combined with the subluxations which hinder the nerve system from gaining its proper equilibrium and coordination between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal system, cause the disturbances of an indeterminate nature at times through the locomotory forces of the body.
10. These subluxations, as we find, are in the lumbar axis, the lower or coccyx end of the system, - as well as a condition in the lower portion of the 6th dorsal center.
11. They are of such a nature that the pressures, and the slowing of the circulation through the extremities, bring disturbance through the abdominal area, as well as the limbs themselves becoming at times rather trembly, - after waking, or after exercise.
12. Also there are disturbing reflex conditions from the 6th dorsal as well as the lumbar axis to the upper portion of the cervical area, - as to the sensory organism.
13. Thus we have an accentuation to the organs of the senses; or the body often is subject to odors, or to disagreeable conditions as may arise from noises or things of the nature where there is a specific activity to the sensory organism.
14. As we find, then, in making for the corrections for this body:
15. Through the offices of such an one as William Taylor, or such an one as Stratton (?), we would use the osteopathic methods as combined with the neuropathic; making corrections of the subluxations and those tendencies for lesions in the areas indicated.
16. Thus we would remove those disturbances.
17. Then as an aid to digestion we would only take Alcariod; a quarter teaspoonful dissolved in a small quantity of water and then stirred in a full glass of water, - this amount taken once each day, preferably AFTER the evening meal.
18. These as we find we would follow, with the general conditions considered for better elimination, - which would be aided by the corrections in the areas indicated; 6th dorsal, 4th lumbar - or the lumbar axis; the coccyx area; coordinating the upper portion of the cervicals and the upper dorsals WITH the corrections made.
19. Thus we will bring bettered conditions for this body.
20. When there are the colder days, we would begin the use of CODIRON as an aid to the better assimilation, better cold resistance, and better activities throughout the system. Take two pellets twice each day for a week, - leave off for five days and then take again for another week; and keep up this procedure through December, January and February, at least. But do not begin these until about the first of December.
21. Ready for questions.
22. (Q) Is there a bone out of place in my left foot?
    (A) There IS a disturbance in the bursae in the left foot. The correction in the lumbar and the sacral, as well as in the foot, will aid in alleviating this disturbance. This is partially the effect of poisons in the system, partially a lesion in the bursa of the Achilles bursa.
23. (Q) Is there any sign of cataract in my right eye?
    (A) With the better eliminations these conditions should gradually disappear; better absorption and better elimination and drainage being set up by the corrections indicated.
24. (Q) What can I do to overcome the painful cramps that I frequently have in my legs?
    (A) As indicated, make those corrections.
    These are muscular contractions.
    Do as has been indicated, - being mindful of the general diet as has been followed oft by the body, or that is maintained, and better eliminations will be set up, or the eliminations will be kept in order.
25. We are through for the present.
