This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 7th day of October, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - through his wife Mrs. [5020], Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. (Notes read to and transcribed by Jeanette Fitch.)

TEXT

1. GC: You will answer the questions regarding this body as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - we have had this body before.
3. The attitude of the body has improved much, and the causes or sources of the disturbances are being improved.
4. We will come to periods where there will be the feeling of not gaining as fast as it should, but keep up those activities that have been outlined for this body, persistently, consistently.
5. Don't overtax the body, but the sooner the body can begin to move about for activities that aid the body in keeping itself active, the better.
6. Do these.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Is there change and improvement as against the diagnosis of the first reading?
   (A) Just as indicated.
9. (Q) What is the small swelling on the left side of the spine I wrote about (it is slightly smaller in area now and neither red, nor inflamed, nor painful). Shall we make the Glyco-Thymoline applications just the same and could I have a little more information about them?
   (A) This is an accumulation of lymph. The Glyco-Thymoline Packs should be applied over this area, for these will take away the pressures that have been causing other disturbances in the body. Let the Packs be applied about twice a week, leaving them on until the two or three thicknesses of cotton cloth have dried out from the body absorption.
10. (Q) Is there still a cyst in the parathyroid?
    (A) This is not so much as it has been.
11. (Q) How is the circulation? I have not noticed any bluish-gray color since the treatments of the first reading.
    (A) The circulation is on the improve, and if you keep up the massages, it will be much better.
12. (Q) What causes the small cough even without any cold?
    (A) This is rather a reflex condition. Nothing to be alarmed at. If there will be the use of Minut-Rub around the throat, at the trachea, we find that this would be allayed. Put this on every night or two for several nights and it will allay the condition.
13. (Q) Would working around the house and garden be all right for him?
    (A) As just indicated, it would be better for the body - just so it doesn't overtax itself too much.
14. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 10/25/43 "We are, as directed, proceeding faithfully with all the treatments. Also have begun the Glyco-Thymoline packs. But here I am in a quandary. I put on the 3 thicknesses of wet cotton cloth and over it a little woolen cover, so my husband does not catch cold. But neither half an hour, nor an hour dries it out. So he left it on each time for nearly 3 hrs. and still when I took the pack off it was moist. Am I doing it right and should we leave the pack on only one hour or less or more? Or should I put a hot water bottle over it? The swelling is still there, but still does not bother my husband, nor is it at all inflamed. I will be so grateful if you instruct me about those packs.
   "In the reading there is no mention of another check reading, or when to ask for one. May I write you from time to time to let you know how my husband is progressing? The idea alone that we are under your care makes us feel secure and happy."
2. 1/10/44 "We are faithfully following your orders. While my husband had the 'flu' we stopped the nightly massage of peanut and olive oil, also the Thymoline applications, for fear he might catch more cold. Now we are back to normal, though he still gets easily tired and sniffles and coughs a bit. But he wants me to tell you he feels better altogether. The swelling on the left side of his spine is still there, some days it seems a little better and some - just as it was before when I first wrote you about it. But it does not bother him at all, nor is it inflamed, - looks just like a bigger muscle or a bit more flesh on that side."
3. 1/21/44 Wife's letter: "I just received your kind letter and am so very grateful for the coming check reading... The list of questions are: (1) Is there more iodine in his system? (2) Has the cyst in the parathyroid improved or even absorbed? (3) Has the inflammation in the kidneys improved or even disappeared? (4) The swollen area on the left of his spine is the only thing I do not see any improvement of, it does not bother him at all. What is it and is it important? (5) The treatments he is at present getting are as follows: Colonic about every five or six days. Massage with peanut and olive oil every night for about 15 to 20 minutes. 1 drop of Atomidine in a glass of water every morning for two weeks, then skip three days and then 1 drop of Chloride of Gold and 2 drops of Bromide of Sodium in a glass of water at night for ten days, and so on. Four to six ozs. every day of alternate fresh juices, water cress, celery and lettuce, apple, beets, lettuce and carrots, grapes. Clam or oyster juice 4 ozs. almost every day. Practically no other bread but yellow corn. Rest of diet as near possible as you prescribed. Glyco-Thymoline applications on his back, which he used to get about every 6 days - has not had them since his flu before Christmas. Do we have to keep on as is, or can we begin to skip some of them, or are there any other suggestions? He has now worked carpentering, etc. rather hard all weekends. Is it all right to continue and when spring comes how about taking, planting, etc.? On the whole has my husband's condition improved? When do you think advisable to ask for another check reading. All the data I have received from the Association, dear Mr. Cayce, has meant more to me than anything else ever has in all my life..."
