This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 19th day of May, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [2794], Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. [2794].

TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2794].
3. As we find, there still are irritations existent throughout the alimentary canal - from the effect of the sinus disorder.
4. We would use the Glyco-Thymoline packs over the nasal passages, or sinus passages. Saturate three to four thicknesses of cotton cloth, or gauze, in warm Glyco-Thymoline, and apply over the passages, allowing such a pack to remain on for fifteen to twenty minutes at the time - and keep up until the passages are clear. Apply such packs whenever there is any distress - either in the sinus or in the digestive system. Such packs may also be applied over the abdominal area to advantage, as well as over the face, see?
5. Also we would take Glyco-Thymoline internally, two to three drops in half a glass of water about twice a day (and drink a glass of water afterwards), until the system has been purified.
6. THEN - when the system has been purified - begin taking those vitamins that will stimulate better building of resistance; the B-1 Complex.
7. Also as an aid to resistance building, take beef juice daily as medicine - and prepare this at least every other day. This will be a stimuli for strength and resistance through the body. Make only a small quantity at the time, you see; do not try to keep it over two days.
8. Also we would use the sponge applicator of the electrically driven vibrator along the spine, gently across the diaphragm area. This also will help strengthen the body, and help in relaxing the body so it will rest better. This would be done of evening, you see.
9. Do that. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) While taking hydrotherapy treatments I learned of spine curvature. Should I see a chiropractor or osteopath; if so, whom?
    (A) Osteopath by all means, NOT a chiropractor - for this character. This, as indicated, will be materially aided. Such as Irvin we would suggest for this.
11. (Q) Would chinning on a horizontal bar strengthen and straighten my spine?
    (A) No - not until the greater corrections have been made.
12. (Q) Would use of Argyrol in my eyes morning and evening to aid my sinuses, as it did this past winter, be well now, or should I rely entirely on the sun this summer?
    (A) Don't use this in the eyes. Do use the Glyco-Thymoline as indicated over the sinuses.
13. (Q) If I stopped smoking, would it help my condition?
    (A) Not very much - you'd be more irritated by the wanting to smoke.
    Do those things indicated, and we will find better conditions for this body.
14. We are through for the present.

4. 2/14/78 GD's note:
   These are general instructions in the Edgar Cayce readings for preparing the Glyco-Thymoline Packs:
   GLYCO-THYMOLINE PACKS
   Use 2 to 3 thicknesses of cotton cloth well saturated with the commercial strength Glyco-Thymoline and apply over affected areas, or areas specified for your particular case. An electric pad may be used to keep the Pack warm. A piece of oil cloth (or plastic) may be put over the Pack, after it is placed on body, to prevent soiling linens, etc. Apply for 20 to 30 minutes, to an hour at the time. In cold weather, place the bottle of Glyco-Thymoline in a pan of hot water to take the chill off before using it for the Pack.
5. 2/14/78 GD's note:
   These are general instructions in the Edgar Cayce readings for preparing the pure Beef Juice:
   Take a pound to a pound and a half preferably of the round steak. No fat, no portions other than that which is of the muscle or tendon or strength; no fatty or skin portions. Dice this into half inch cubes, as it were, or practically so. Put same in a glass jar without water in same. Put the jar then into a boiler or container with the water coming about half or three-fourths toward the top of the jar, you see. Preferably put a cloth in the container to prevent the jar from cracking. Do not seal the jar tight, but cover the top. Let this boil (the water, with the jar in same) for three to four hours. Then strain off the juice, and the refuse may be pressed somewhat. It will be found that the meat or flesh itself will be worthless. Place the juice in a cool place, but do not keep too long; never longer than three days, see? Hence the quantity made up at the time depends upon how much or how often the body will take this. It should be taken two to three times a day, but not more than a tablespoonful at the time - and this sipped very slowly. Of course, this is to be seasoned to suit the taste of the body.
   Well, too, that whole wheat or Ry-Krisp crackers be taken with the same to make it more palatable. [1343-2, Par. 12--14.] This excerpt from 1343-2 was used by Dr. Wm. A. McGarey in his 8/10/67 Commentary on ANEMIA for the PHYSICIAN'S REFERENCE NOTEBOOK (c) Edgar Cayce Foundation 1968.
6. 7/49 Reports in re use of Glyco-Thymoline for Sinusitis, from Samuel E. Benesch 6201 Harford Road, Baltimore 14, Md., 7/13/49:
   "In 10 to 15 minutes I obtain relief from using the Glyco-Thymoline Packs for sinusitis. The pain is relieved completely, the sinus drains, and elimination shows definite improvement. I use the Packs directly over sinus (and abdomen when condition is acute). I use the Infra-Red bulb as a source of heat. This treatment alone pays for my A.R.E. membership in doctors' bills saved. The eyes are rested and strengthened. Since breath control is important in meditation, this system is extremely valuable to me in relieving bad sinus conditions."
   From Case [808], 7/13/49:
   "In February 1948 I received extracts from 2794-2 regarding Glyco-Thymoline Packs, when I was suffering with an awful attack, the fourth time that winter... It was rather messy, but - believe it or not - it opened the congestion in my sinuses and it was the first time I felt any relief. I continued for about a week and it cleared up completely.
   "This past winter, whenever I'd feel an attack coming on I'd heat the Glyco-Thymoline in a glass custard dish set in boiling water and use the Packs as hot as I could stand over the temple. Then I put a piece of oil cloth over that, and the heating pad on top of that. I used this for 3/4 of an hour. It would clear up immediately any persistent pain in that area and would require several days' treatment to clear up a severe sinus infection."
   SINUS: Extract folder 2794-2 Report from L.U.K. on 7/15/49:
   "Page 7 Health Hints, I purchased Glyco-Thymoline and began to use same to eliminate the catarrhal condition within the body. After a period of several weeks, I noticed a change within the body the catarrh, not being as heavy and frequent as in the past."
   3225 Peiper Rd., Dayton 14, Ohio, June 24, 1960:
   My teen-aged daughter is troubled with sinus problem, and after (See 2794-2) sending for the bulletin on health, she tried out the Glyco-Thymoline treatment, internally (twice a day), and externally twice a day. After the third day, the stuffiness let up completely and she feels she has had very good results from it. This occurred several weeks ago, and so far, she has had no complaints about the condition. For myself, I am trying to clear up a post-nasal drip, and feel I am making progress along this line with the Glyco-Thymoline, too.
   Sincerely yours, Mrs. Pierce E. Scranton
