This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 16th day of April, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Miss [2966], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mr. [2910].

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; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [2966].
3. As we find, while the conditions that cause the greater disturbance are in the nature of accumulations, these need not necessarily require operative measures. For these, as we find, are lymph accumulations. And if there are the administrations that would make for the setting up of the proper coordinations in the eliminating channels, these may be removed without the necessity of operative forces.
4. To be sure, these might be removed by operation. Yet, without removing the causes of such, we find that - at this particular period of this entity's experience - it would only be a drain on the system, leaving the tendencies that might bring greater distress later.
5. On the other hand, if there are measures taken to set up the proper coordinations in ALL of the eliminating channels, if the operation THEN becomes necessary the system will be in such a condition that there would only be minor effects upon the body from such measures.
6. These conditions arise, we find, from deflection of eliminating forces, by the creating of excesses through changes wrought in the general glandular system; so that, with such activities, these accumulations have formed through the abdominal and pelvic area.
7. And with those activities to create a better stimuli for general eliminations, as well as the specific activity of the circulation between the liver and the kidneys, and the organs of the lower abdominal areas, there should be brought bettered conditions for the body.
8. We would suggest these measures:
9. We would have at least twenty to twenty-five hydrotherapy treatments, under the direction - as we find - of Reilly. In the beginning, for the first six to eight, we would have these twice a week; afterwards once a week should be sufficient.
10. The hydrotherapy should include the steam baths, but preferably make these fume baths; taking precautions when these are given. Use for the fumes alternately, one time Atomidine, the next time witchhazel - boiling in the water that causes the fumes to settle over the body.
11. Such a fume bath would be followed with a thorough rubdown, especially along the spine - following the hot and cold water spray, which will also aid in that stimulation necessary. For the thorough massage we would use a combination of two parts Russian White Oil, or Usoline, or Nujol, to one part Pine Oil. And use the regular Pine Oil, not pitch, not pine needles, but Pine Wood Oil, see?
12. Be precautious as to the diet. Do have plenty of sea foods, - once or twice a week, - to add more of the iodine for glandular clearance; as the fume baths and the absorptions that come from these will stimulate to purify the glands and set up better conditions.
13. Have sufficient exercise in the open each day. Walking is the better exercise, besides that which will be attained in taking the hydrotherapy and massage.
14. Do these and we will make for better conditions.
15. Ready for questions.
16. (Q) Considering my health, would it be better for me to remain in the hotel this summer or to look now for an apartment?
    (A) An apartment, we would give.
17. (Q) Is it important to reduce my weight, when I am under such constant strain?
    (A) The type of treatments as suggested should aid in better equalizing the weight.
18. (Q) Does smoking do me much harm?
    (A) Smoking is not harmful if done in moderation. Excesses produce too much of poisons in body.
19. (Q) How can I get more sleep without drugs?
    (A) If these applications are made, they should be most beneficial in this respect. A use of the Radio-Active Appliance for this body will put it to sleep, and be an aid in equalizing circulation.
20. (Q) If the operation becomes necessary, should the woman consulted - or a man - perform it?
    (A) As we find, if these directions are carefully followed, an operation will be a long ways off, if ever! But when or if such should become necessary, or should there continue to be a great mental stress and pain, consult someone else besides the one you have!
21. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 4/01/43 Questions submitted.

REPORTS

1. 4/29/43 Report: "I found time to see Dr. Reilly the day after the Physical Rdg., arrived, and to start the treatments the day after that. Consequently, I have already had three and they seem to be doing me good. They will certainly help the sinus and intestinal conditions that have long been troubling me, but whether they will obviate the necessity of the operation for a uterine tumor that two, not one, doctors have asserted, remains to be seen. In any case I am not rushing into it or allowing myself to be pushed. The X-rays were rather alarming and both doctors positive. One was a man and one a woman; they had never seen me before as a patient. The statements regarding the poor circulation, the poor elimination and the disturbances in the glandular system were very much to the point."
2. 7/15/43 Letter: "Herewith enclosed is the long promised extract from my diary which I think you may be interested to compare with the minutes of the sitting that were taken on the same date. I think there are some very striking coincidences [2966-1, 4/16/43]...
   "Extract from Diary 4/16/43: About 10:15 I got sleepy. I continued that way for about an hour; tho I never went completely to sleep, I dozed lightly in snatches; with occasional glimpses at the clock. At 10:30 a voice in my right ear said 'Miss [2966]' and I seemed to see a door open. I noted the time after the event. At 10:50 I seemed to receive a direction to turn on my back, that is, turn around. As I was lying on my back, I lay on my face. A few minutes later I felt a prick in one of my forefingers as tho for a blood test. At 11:15 I was told to lie on my side - the right. A little later I turned to the left tho that seemed less important and the drowsiness was already gradually lifting. I felt relaxed but when I got up at 11:35 I was tired as I was after an X-ray." [JT's note: Miss [2966] refers to her experiences during the actual time her reading was given.]
   "You were good enough to say that you would be glad to get a further report so here it is. I have now had 13 treatments at Reilly's and would have had 15 if a bad bump by a subway door had not given me some internal bruises that the doctor thought should be left alone for a time. However, I expect to resume next week. The one striking effect has been the improvement in elimination. Unfortunately that has retrogressed since the accident, doubtless because of some of the homeopathic drugs I was compelled to take. I have also lost a very little weight. Otherwise I have noted no differences. I am very tired, nervous and my blood pressure was 108 when taken yesterday. So I was ordered to increase the thyroid to 3 grains a day. The doctors still seem to think I should have the fibroid removed in the near future, so I am planning to let them go ahead soon after the 15th of next month. Don't you think I should have a check reading, and if so, how shall I go about it?"
3. 9/22/43 Letter: "The operation is now behind me, and though it was pretty strenuous my recovery has been excellent. I attribute this in goodly measure to the 17 treatments that I managed to get in at Reilly's. I should have taken the full 20 recommended if the accident in the subway had not interfered. Naturally I am not yet restored to full energy or vigor, and want your help to get these back as soon as possible in order that the winter may be truly fruitful. Besides, there are a number of improvements that I think can now be achieved. Will you therefore let me know what date I may have? Meanwhile I shall be preparing my questions so I can forward them to you with my check."
4. 3/23/44 Miss [2966] obtained her second Physical Rdg. See 2966-2.

   Majorie Henry
   Adult, white (caucasian) female, age 54. DX by GP and surgeon large fibroid tumor recommended hysterectomy. Marge started treatment with the Cayce remedies on Dec. 1, 1974 and continued as follows:
   12/1 Massage weekly - missed week of 3/23/75 12/2 Enema one weekly for 3 weeks 12/3 Chiropractic treatment once weekly for 3 weeks 12/4 Castor oil packs to abdomen 5 days on 3 days off. 12/4 Atomidine internally - 1 gtt. in glass of water 5 days on 5 off. 12/6 Olive oil ingestion 1 tablesoon [tablespoon] with every third pack. Missed one week of 4/21/75. 12/16 Vitamin E 500 uits [units] daily - Marge began having hot flashes and night sweats. She was not taking any premarin since we started the above regime. This dose seemed to be alright for her, any lower she would get the flashes and sweats again. So she stayed at 500 u. 2/07/75 Douches started on a 28 day cycle with 5 days off Alternate days with the following Atomidine douche 10 gtts. [10 drops] in 1 qt. of water Glyco-thymoline 1 tablespoon in 1 qt. of water
   This patinet [patient] was very cooperative and faithful to the full treatment. She also during this time joined a church, attended study group, joined a bible study group, meditated daily, and had a great attitude of well-being.
   On April 26th, 1975 she was examined by Dr. Bill Goldwag. [See his report attached.] He found a uterus of normal size with no evidence of fibroid tumor.
   All treatment dicontinued [discontinued] except for much prayer of thanks!
7. 1/18/76 Report received by A.R.E. member, Margaret Wagoner:
   "I used the castor oil packs for a fibroid tumor on my uterus. I used the three thicknesses of flannel with the oil and a heating pad three or four nights a week. I started about 9:30 P.M. and would read until sleepy and turn out the lights and heating pad at the same time, leaving the flannel and heating pad in place and I would sleep until I would be ready to turn over (about 1:00 A.M.) and then remove it all. This continued about six months. At my next yearly check-up the doctor said it had disappeared. Thank goodness and Mr. Cayce, I didn't need an operation. Thanks also to the workers who make this information available to all of us."
