This Psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 19th day of October, 1940, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [2384], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mrs. [845].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. [2384] and Mrs. [845].

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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2384].
3. As we find, conditions are very good throughout the general physical forces of the body. There are tendencies and inclinations, however, that may be corrected in the present and thus prevent greater disturbances later on, as well as the specific disorders which make for disturbances in portions of the body.
4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [2384] we are speaking of, present in this room:
5. First, in the blood supply, - here we find the pressure NEAR to normal, but varying at times. This should be corrected in the present. Also we find indications in the blood stream of the body's being allergic to conditions that cause inflammation to the mucous membranes of the nasal passages and to the trachea and bronchi; that arise from specific disturbances as related to the pathological conditions in the coordination between sympathetic and cerebrospinal system.
6. These combined, as we find, make for the disturbing conditions with this body.
7. In relationship to the blood pressure, this is that activity between the circulation of the heart, the liver and the kidneys; which is a sympathetic condition, to be sure, to a subluxation that is partially the cause of the incoordination - in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd dorsal centers, as related to the vegetative nerve system to throat, to nasal passages, and to head.
8. The correction of these, as we find, will bring bettered conditions for the body; provided there ARE precautions through those periods or seasons when the body is subject to the irritations from the ambrosia weed or ragweed, and the EFFECTS this produces upon the body.
9. As we find, then:
10. We would give first that there be corrective measures as related to the upper dorsal and throughout the cervical area. Make these mechanically (osteopathically rather than chiropractically) in the upper dorsal, from the 3rd to the 1st cervical. Every third treatment ADJUST the 9th dorsal and 4th lumbar with the corrections made.
11. Ten to twelve such adjustments should be sufficient, but take these rather in a series; that is, three or four, then rest from them a week, and then have another series of four or six.
12. Then, for the pressure - the blood pressure, as might become serious unless precautions are taken in the present - we would also begin having once a month, at least, a THOROUGH hydrotherapy treatment; including a colonic irrigation to remove those tendencies - that are arising - for mucous through the colon area. This may be indicated when the colonics are taken.
13. We would also prepare a compound to be used as an antiseptic inhalant; ONLY as an inhalant, not as a spray; just inhaling the fumes that form by the solution being well shaken so as to make fumes arise from the combination of these properties acting one upon the other. Put this compound in a six ounce container; preferably a large-mouth container, prepared so as to have two vents into same that may be corked. Neither of the vents would extend into the solution, but into the space above same.
14. To 4 ounces of Pure Grain Alcohol, add - IN THE ORDER NAMED:

    Oil of Eucalyptus................20 minims,
Compound Tincture of Benzoin.....15 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp............10 minims,
Canadian Balsam...................5 minims,
Tolu in Solution.................10 minims.

    Shake the solution well, then remove the corks from the vents. Inhale in the nasal passages, first one and then the other. Also inhale into the mouth, but not swallowing the inhalation - rather as when smoking or the like, as it is for the trachea and throat; while the inhalations through the nasal passages will be effective there also.
15. Then, in the diet, - especially as related to those seasons when the body is allergic to the ambrosia weed, - refrain from taking any cereal or any corn product; and we will find it will make a vast difference as to the effect such has upon the body.
16. Do these, and we will bring the bettered conditions for this body, [2384].
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) What part of this condition can be verified by a physician?
    (A) Any or all portions of same. For, the subluxations exist, the DORSAL area; and the variation in the pressure may be taken by having the pressure taken at intervals, and we will see the variation. When the colonics are given there will be seen the EFFECT of the mucous in the colon, and the variation the removal of same makes upon the pressure.
19. (Q) Any particular osteopath you would suggest?
    (A) Any that's in sympathy with the suggestions indicated.
20. We are through for the present.

    Copy to Self
    Copy to Ass'n file
    (See extra sheet [which was enclosed] of directions for osteopath. Let us know the name of the one you choose, so we may ask him for a report at the proper time.
    Also at your convenience we'd appreciate a history of your case to the time of obtaining the reading, so that we may have something with which to compare our information.
    See extra copy [which was enclosed] of directions for preparing the inhalant.)

BACKGROUND

1. Told us there was just one thing he wanted to know; how to get rid of his hay fever of several years standing. Nothing has ever seemed to help except change of climate.

REPORTS

1. Admitted after Rdg. [2384-1] that it was especially the ragweed to which he was allergic.
2. 7/30/47 Mrs. [845] reported he did NOT follow the reading; only got it because of his interest in her.
