This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 4th day of March, 1941, in accordance with request made by Dr. Fenton Taylor and by the father of [2456], Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

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

TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body of [2456], Apt. 14-C, New York City, and the desire of Dr. Fenton Taylor to be given the definite instructions in this case as previously suggested might be given through this channel if securing his cooperation. You will describe for Dr. Taylor the location of the infection, its cause; what organs or organ is involved, and what measures should be taken to correct the condition. You will answer the questions that may be asked.
2. EC: Yes - we have the body here, [2456], and that which has been indicated respecting means and channels through which helpful forces might be made for this body.
3. As we find, the condition is primarily a glandular activity; an excess of destructive forces in the lymph as active by infection through the spleen - that has become somewhat engorged, and will gradually increase unless measures are taken.
4. It is also indicated that the activity in centers along the cerebrospinal system has become static, at those areas from which much of that activity of red blood cellular force is produced from marrow of ribs.
5. This combination of conditions, then, causes the activity which gradually destroys the numbers of the cellular force of blood, - producing weakness and temperature in the body.
6. We find that there is - and has been for some time - a deficiency of iodine in the body. This - as combined with the inability to reproduce red cells, or the inability to assimilate properties as would induce such reproduction through the assimilating system or the glandular forces of same - causes, or becomes the basis of that to be met in the present.
7. Then, we would give these as the helpful forces:
8. Begin with taking internally one minim of Atomidine in half a glass of water before the morning meal. Each day increase the dosage one minim, until fifteen minims are being taken. Then leave it off one day. Then begin again with the one minim and increase one minim each day until the fifteen minims are reached.
9. Also every other day we would apply the Infra Red Light to the cerebrospinal area, as a stimulation for the deep therapy produced to the structural portions along the rib area especially. Apply this from thirty to forty-five minutes, at least sufficiently distant as to include the area indicated.
10. Immediately after such Light application, massage the body along the spine with Peanut Oil. This will also prove helpful in the body's resting.
11. Each day we would prepare as much liver pudding, and the like, as the body may assimilate; or ALL of those elements that will - in assimilation - induce or produce red blood. Include as much orange juice as may be easily assimilated by the body; preferably the Florida grown and tree-ripened fruit. This supplies the elements needed. Prepare the puddings even from the blood of the liver, and take it as rare as it can be taken to be at all palatable for the body.
12. Do these.
13. Follow the changes that are induced through the circulation, the respiratory system, and the reactions.
14. For as we find, these offer those channels that will prove beneficial to the body.
15. These things should be administered, of course, with care and attention.
16. And the attitude of the body, for whom these are administered, should be stimulated to that of expectancy of activities of a creative or helpful nature; not merely as one that may manifest in this material plane in the present but as one that may be a helpful influence for others - rather than for an indulgence or gratifying of self's own appetites.
17. Do that.
18. Ready for questions.
19. (Q) What caused the infection in the spleen?
    (A) Read what has been indicated. To be sure, this began with an unbalancing of the glandular forces from lack of iodine in system. This then, with the unbalance, caused an infection in spleen and the gland that assimilates this in its refraction is causing in the lymph that dryness, hardness, as will be found indicated along the rib area of the body - or spine.
    Do these things, - and as the changes in conditions are arising, further instructions or suggestions may be indicated.
20. We are through for the present.
