This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 30th day of September, 1940, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [2320], Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

TEXT

1. 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:
2. EC: Yes
3. As we find, conditions have shown great improvement; and again the anxieties and disturbances have arisen, as to cause greater disturbance in the abilities of the body to assimilate or to RETAIN the food values.
4. WE would consider - seriously - the change as indicted by some administering to the needs of the body, in the ability of the stomach to retain or to empty the foods from same. The orifice is such that, without the use of the properties that have been indicated for the body, it will NOT function in the manner that does not cause the ejection, or the relaxing of the cardiac portion in such a way as to prevent vomiting.
5. We would have the operations for the change.
6. We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 2320-1 and subsequent reports of inability to follow the reading. Surgery had been performed 2 yrs. ago to change outlet of her stomach; now they want to operate again to change stomach to normal outlet.

REPORTS

1. 10/03/40 EC wrote that possibly she could have avoided the operation if she had been able to keep up the treatments recommended in the reading, "but guess there is not much to be done outside that at this time. Do hope you come along alright. Will be glad to hear from you, and if we can be of help, know that we will be glad to try."
2. 1/20/41 She wrote: "Guess you will be surprised to hear from me after so long a time. Well, I had the operation you advised me, two months ago, and I feel better than I have in years. Only worry, I think, is wrong now." She wrote in detail about her marital troubles and asked for a reading to tell her how to regain her husband's love, to keep him from running around, spending his income on other women, etc.
3. 1/22/41 EC wrote that a reading would not be helpful unless her husband would request it also and agree to abide by whatever suggestions might be given.
