This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 27th day of January, 1944, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [3079], via wife [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.) Harmon Bro.

TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures, answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3079].
3. As we find, there are great improvements in the general physical forces of the body. There are better reactions, better assimilations, better activities throughout the body.
4. We would gradually decrease the quantity of the Gold that is taken internally. Leave off every other dose in the present.
5. Do add, during the rest periods from the Gold and Soda, Atomidine. Take one drop each morning before breakfast for three days in succession each week, so as to stimulate now with the genitive system of the body - the generating of energies in the centers throughout the segments of the spine, or the areas where impulses arise. This will purify the glandular forces so that there may be greater quantities of strength and vitality assimilated from the foods.
6. All the rest of the applications indicated we would keep. Once a month for at least a week repeat all of them, except the Gold - substituting the Atomidine.
7. Do keep the system purified and we will bring better conditions.
8. Apply the Packs over the swollen area in the small of the back, for through this means we are gradually reducing the tendency for the accumulation of lymph pockets in the tissue through those areas.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Has the crystallization of the segments, or the cartilaginous forces in the segments of the spine improved - is it less taut; is the stiffness in the lumbar and lower dorsal area less?
    (A) This is gradually improving. What we are setting up is the ability of the body to eliminate through the regular channels as there is the breaking up of this crystallization, and its distribution.
11. (Q) Is the hemoglobin of the blood supply better?
    (A) As indicated, all conditions are better.
    Do as outlined.
12. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 2/06/44 Wife's letter: "Thank you for the check reading of Jan. 27th. We are so happy things are progressing in the right direction and so grateful to you.
   "I am afraid I will have to bother you for additional explanation. I do not quite understand the instructions of the last reading.- So far my husband has taken - 14 days running 1 drop of Atomidine, 3 days rest, 10 days running Gold and Soda, 3 days rest, and so on.
   "When the reading says - "leave off every other dose of Gold" - does it mean he should take - 14 days running the Atomidine, 3 days rest, 10 days running no Gold, but for 3 days running 1 drop of Atomidine before breakfast and then 7 days running nothing, then 14 days running Atomidine, 3 days rest, 10 days running Gold and Soda, 3 days rest, 14 days running Atomidine, 3 days rest, 3 days running Atomidine 1 drop before breakfast, and so on.
   "Then the very next paragraph in the reading...'All the rest of the applications indicated we would keep. Once a month for at least a week repeat all of them, except the Gold - substituting the Atomidine'... - Does it mean that the oil massage, Glyco-thymoline applications, colonic, juices - must now be used only one week per month? Except the Gold and Atomidine which must be used right along and as I understand it (in the schedule in the paragraph above?). Please let me know about this, dear Mr. Cayce, for we are so ready and eager to do the right thing; and no matter how I study the last reading I cannot understand the instructions..."
2. 2/22/44 EC's reply: "...I have been away and haven't been able to catch up. I am glad to know that your husband is getting along pretty well. ...As I understand it you are to keep up all of the treatments, with every other dose of both the Atomidine and the Gold to be left off for a while; that is 14 days, but every other day leaving off the Atomidine and Gold, so [5020], that it would only be taken 7 days out of the 14; keep up everything else..."
3. 3/26/44 Wife's letter: "...My husband wants me to tell you he is all right but right at present at a stand still or improving so slowly that he can't detect it. We are faithfully keeping on with all the treatments except the colonics which we have skipped (one a month instead of one each week). And the last one has upset his general digestion so much for a whole week that now that he feels all right again he would like to try and do without them entirely. What do you think about that?..."
4. 5/31/44 "...In his case, thank heaven, I can take care of all the treatments myself. And we do them almost 100% faithfully. I think he is better, but yesterday to my great distress he told me he was very discouraged as he now does not feel any improvement since, he thinks, January. Maybe he is too ambitious and expects too much. He worked in the garden quite hard, I would say, for these past 3 days and of course not only is he out of training, but that kind of work, much as he loves it, is not his work. By nature he is neither pessimistic, introspective nor complaining. I am so afraid that if his mental attitude turns pessimistic and he becomes discouraged, it might do his physical health harm. We now beg you for another check reading and thorough going over, really a comparison reading with the first one on July 2nd, '43. As you see it is 11 months since the first one and I do so hope and pray you can give him another reading soon and find him improved and give him renewed confidence and a boost. ...My husband wants me to ask you if he can drop off all or any of the treatments meantime..."
5. 6/12/44 GD's letter: "We are making the appointment for your husband's check physical for the morning of August 30th... Mr. Cayce suggests that he keep up all the suggested treatments until that time..."
6. 8/20/44 Wife's letter:
   "...I would be very grateful if this check reading could be a comparative one with the very first one a year ago on July 2nd, '43. So will, in my list of questions, not only add new ones having come up recently but also take some of your diagnosis of a year ago and put it in question form. I would so appreciate it if all the questions were asked. My husband feels better, but still gets tired easily. We have faithfully kept on with the Atomidine and the Gold, also with the fresh vegetable and fruit juices and corn bread. The colonics we have skipped some - about every 3 weeks or so and the last one seems to have upset him a lot. The massage we have dropped altogether for the past 2 1/2 mos. and when I tried to give him one about a month ago his body didn't seem to take the oil in at all. My husband wants to know if he can drop all the treatments now. Why does he tire so easily? How is his circulation? What is that "gone" feeling in his legs? How is the supply of iodine in his body generally and as against last year? Is the crystallization of the segments of the spine less taut and has it generally improved as against last year? Is his hemoglobin of the blood supply better? Is the inflammation in the kidneys gone? Is the heaviness or cyst in the parathyroid glands gone? Can he drop all the medicines and treatments or part of them... I almost forgot the most important thing. At the time of the reading my husband will be in ..., Maine..." [This appointment was cancelled due to EC's illness.]
7. 10/12/44 Wife's letter: "...We both are terribly sorry to hear about Mr. Cayce's illness..."
8. 9/10/52 Wife's verbal report to IMG: P-1 [3079-1]: "The doctors said there was a parathyroid tumor and T.B. of the Kidneys. Later X-rays revealed that this was not correct. Further comments were, 'no hope' that he would eventually turn to jelly - there was nothing they could do - suggested that he take aspirin. I knew that the things Mr. Cayce gave would work and literally over-rode the objections of my husband in carrying out the treatments.
   "At the time this reading was given my husband and I were home in ..., Mass., a town of 10,000 or more population. Just back of our home there was a small picturesque brook. Interesting that Mr. Cayce not only saw it but mentioned it.
   P-2 [3079-2]: "My husband was not at all keen on the treatments and at this point was not too improved, although I continued to give him the treatments just as outlined, for I was sure it would work.
   P-3 [3079-3]: "My husband continued to improve, though following the year of '45 he only kept up the treatments occasionally; particularly the use of Atomidine, Gold and Soda - and paying attention to the general diet that had been outlined for him in the readings. When the doctors would meet him on the street they would turn white with the shock of realizing that he had not died, as they had thought. They asked him to come in so that they could check him and see what the changes were. He did not want to do this and I did not encourage him to do so, because there were so many unpleasant memories with this previous illness; also the routine of the check-up would be difficult for him both mentally and physically. He is now enjoying the best of health - boating, swimming, dancing and carrying on his business."
