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, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [2585].
3. As we find, while conditions are very good in many respects, there are disturbances which hinder the normal functionings through the body. Thus we have disturbances that are aggravating at times, and that without correction may not allow the complete physical reactions in the body.
4. These have to do primarily with the effects that are produced upon the nervous systems of the body, and the manner in which these reflect in the functioning of many of the organs.
5. We find that these arise from a condition which began with the organs of the pelvis, where a cold - combined with the periods - brought congestion, and set up those disturbances with the Fallopian tubes which to some extent at times cause disturbance to the ovaries themselves.
6. These cause a disturbance at the periods; sometimes scant, sometimes too much. And this drain upon the nervous system tends to reflex to the nervous forces in the digestion, producing a character of nervous digestion as well as the tendencies for some disturbance of the nature through the colon.
7. The headaches at times, and the reflexes to the eyes, all become a part of the disturbance - which arises from the congestion first caused sometimes back. And this has gradually increased at times, though benefited at other times.
8. With the correction of these, as related to this nervous reaction to both the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nerve system as in relationship to the other organs of the body, and more particularly to the nervous systems, - we may bring much bettered conditions for the body, relieving those periods of distress and bringing about a much better normal functioning of the body-forces themselves.
9. Then, in making corrective measures for the body:
10. We would begin first with adjustments osteopathically administered, that will aid to stimulate the flow of impulse to the organs of pelvis, to aid in setting up better drainages throughout the alimentary canal, to alleviate the pressures and circular lesions that have been formed from the attempt of the body-forces to adjust themselves to this mal-activity in the nervous system to brain forces - which exists in the cervical area; though the corrections would be in lumbar, sacral, 9th dorsal, the 6th to the 8th dorsal, and throughout the cervical and upper dorsal areas.
11. After there have been at least six such adjustments, begin then with the low form of electrical vibrations as may be had from the sinusoidal reaction of electrical forces; that aid in carrying heat to the body; at one treatment making the application to the 4th lumbar axis, at the next to the 6th and 7th dorsal center - with the other application, of course, over the liver or the gall duct plexus.
12. Take at least three or four of these, about a week apart.
13. Then continue with the osteopathic adjustments until at least ten more have been taken.
14. Then begin (not before) with the use of the Violet Ray at home - hand machine, bulb applicator; applied to the abdominal area, especially across the diaphragm area, and in a low form across the cerebrospinal area; for about ten minutes, three evenings each week - for several weeks.
15. In the diets, keep those things that are well balanced. Have at least three vegetables above the ground to one below the ground - or that proportion.
16. Do not combine too much of starches, and do not take too much of sweets.
17. Do refrain from carbonated waters or any drinks made with same.
18. Do these and, as we find, we may bring bettered conditions for this body, [2585].
19. Ready for questions.
20. (Q) Is it possible for me ever to have any children?
    (A) With the corrections, there should be a possibility; a very great probability.
21. (Q) If so, when, and how many?
    (A) This, of course, depends upon many circumstances. But there should be those corrections in the system before such is accomplished.
    Do the things indicated; we will not only prepare the body for motherhood but will relieve a great many of the disturbing and distressing conditions that exist in the functioning organs at present.
22. We are through for the present.

    (9/09/41 GD's note: See extra sheet of directions [which were enclosed] for Osteopath who is to give the adjustments AND the sinusoidal treatments. Let us have the name and address of the one you choose for giving these treatments, so we may ask him for a report at the proper time.
    At your convenience, please let us have a history of your case to the time of obtaining the reading, so we may have something with which to compare our information; also that we may index your ailment under the proper heading according to the doctor's diagnosis.)

BACKGROUND

1. 8/25/41 She submitted questions: "Is there a cure for the trouble which I am now experiencing? If so, how soon can it be effected, by whom and where?"

REPORTS

1. 9/20/41 Robert H. Miller, D.O., wrote that Mrs. [2585] and another patient had reported to him for treatment as per EC readings, and that he would give them his very best professional services. Original letter, see under 2589-1, Par. R2.
2. 9/07/43 EC's letter to Mr. [2793]: "Mr. [...] and his wife [2585] were in to see me a few days ago." [See [2585]'s letter, Par. R3 below.]
3. 10/13/43 [2585]'s letter to EC:
   Dear Mr. Cayce,
   Sometime ago, when Mr. [...] [her husband] and I were in Virginia Beach 9/43, we paid you a visit which was thoroughly enjoyed by both of us. At that time, we made an appointment with you for a reading on October 16 from 3:30 to 4:30. Not having heard further from you, I presume that this appointment still stands and, therefore, I am enclosing a list of questions to be asked during the reading.
   After having talked with you, we are doubly interested in your work and believe that you are doing no end of real good.
   You have our best wishes for continued success in all your endeavors.
   Yours sincerely, [2585]
   1. Now that my doctor has moved even farther away, are there any treatments or exercises which I could take at home to improve or relieve my condition? 2. Is there any particular medicine that could be taken internally to relieve the pain? 3. Would it be better all round if an effort was made to stay up instead of in bed during these times? 4. Does this condition have anything to do with the fact that I have been unable to conceive? 5. If not, can you tell me the reason and what can be done about it, as we are very anxious to have a child. 6. The headaches with reflexes to the eyes which you mentioned before still occur frequently. Are these directly connected to the condition which I have been referring to or are they coming from something else? 7. If they are coming from another cause, how can this be corrected?
4. 10/19/43 EC gave Mrs. [2585] her check physical - See 2585-2.
5. 1/24/63 Dr. Robert H. Miller's letter: "I was acquainted with the Cayce readings while in Roanoke, Va., about 1940-41 when a dysmenorrhea case [2585] came up from ... with directions for treatment..."
