Edgar Cayce Readings, 3610-1

Time: 4:05 to 4:10 P. M. Eastern War Time.

TEXT

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:
EC: Yes, we have the house, but finding [3610].
Yes, we have the body.
As we find, there have been those tendencies for undue accumulation in lymph pockets through the body, and there has been the forming of a pocket in the soft tissues in the left area below the kidney - just above the lower portion of the pelvic area. Here we have at times a tiny bit of swelling, but at other times quite a bit of pain. This reflexly causes disturbance to the activity of the kidneys, at other times in the eliminations through alimentary canal. At other times, it gives headaches and makes the body nervous and cross.
The corrections that have been made from time to time, in alleviating those tendencies of pressures in segments along the spine, have been materially helpful to the body and it is very well to keep these up - so long as sufficient massage is given when these corrections are made, not to make the loosening of the connections between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system too much of a shock to either one. For they will rebel at times if pushed about too much. These will cause disorders.
But if there will be the corrections and then follow with the electrical driven vibrator, using the sponge applicator along the spine, it will be much more effective.
Also for this area where this disorder occurs, apply Glyco-Thymoline Packs for an hour to two hours at a time, using salt heat rather than the electric pad. Keep these up every two or three days for a period of two or three weeks, having the treatments along the spine about the same period, and we will make better conditions for the body.
In the diet, eat a great deal of raw vegetables. Not that this is all that should be taken but keep fairly well balanced in the diet, keeping away from fried foods. Do have celery, lettuce, water cress, onions, radishes, carrots. Grate these and prepare them in various ways, often with gelatin. These will be found to be most beneficial for the general conditions of the body.
Ready for questions.
We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

7/17/43 [3610]'s letter:
Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Virginia
Dear Mr. Cayce:
Thank you for your letter of the ninth, also for sending me the booklet.
Enclosed please find my check for $20.00 and an application for a physical reading. Of late I have had some strange pains in my left side towards the back, and because of this I should like to have a reading as soon as possible. I shall give the reading to my chiropractor, who is psychic but, you cannot get him to admit the fact.
My house is situated on ... Highway South and there are no numbers to identify the houses. If one were to stand in front of the ... Moving Picture House facing East on the ... Road he would see a number of small stores but directly behind these stores and half way between ... Road and ... Highway are two houses a small white house and a larger house with Brown shingles on the sides. The one with the brown shingles is my home and it is next to the private road that connects ... and ... Highway. I always use a box number at the Post Office because we do not have house to house delivery.
The previous remittance of $10.00 can be used by you for some worthy cause. I am anxiously awaiting the receipt of the Book "A Search for God" which I ordered from Mrs. H. Miller, Norfolk.
Hope you have received the copy of the "Golden Scripts" and that you have found them interesting.
Yours very truly, [3610]
7/21/43 EC's letter:
..., Conn.
Dear Mr. [3610]:
I have yours of the seventh [17th] enclosing your membership blank and a request for a physical reading. I do not know whether you would be justified in waiting for this reading or not for the first possible chance to get in a reading is the afternoon of January 26. This is so far off I think it possible that you had better see a physician rather than waiting for this time, however, we are giving this period but if you desire you know we will be glad to return your membership fee. But let us hear from you and we hope that we may be of service.
I trust that you have received the book from Mrs. Miller, "A Search For God". This is possibly very elementary to you, but I hope and believe with careful reading that you will find something that is very much worth while. There is nothing particularly strange or new - the strange part is that the application of this suggestion presents a new interest and a new outline on life. I also want to thank you for your contribution for the general fund; it is such contributions that make possible for us to take care of the great number of individuals who apply for readings who are not able to pay for anything and also contribute to their treatments. I am in receipt also of the book "Golden Scripts." I know the writer of this quite well, but have not heard much from him lately. Thank you for your interest.
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce

Dear Mr. Cayce:
Thank you for your letter of the 21st, January 26th, does seem a long way off now, but the months will soon pass by, and in the meantime I shall have that date to look forward to. I presume that you will notify me some weeks before the time set for the reading, if I do not hear from you I will write you again for the purpose of letting you know where I am, because I do not expect to be able to stay in ... because of the oil shortage.
When I visited my Doctor the other day (Chiropractor) I mentioned that I had written to you for a reading, and asked if he would be interested, he replied that he had heard of your readings and was very interested because he felt from what he had heard that your reading spoke his language.
I am really not suffering, and my main reason for having a reading is to show it to others, and try to interest them in your work especially the little group in Toronto who were all so anxious that I should read the story of your life in the Book "There is a River". Also I have some very dear friends in New York who have a child that is badly in need of attention, and I have been hoping to interest them enough to have them try others outside the medical profession. They are now reading your life story and I am hoping that the reading will interest them enough to want to do something for this wonderful little child. As the "Golden Scripts" say "A little child is the Holiest thing alive". Somehow I feel that you know that his statement is true.
Yesterday I received the book "A Search for God". It is going to be a great help to me, and I feel sure that many of my friends especially those in Toronto will want to get a copy. They will not be able to order it directly because of the embargo on sending money out of the country, but I shall be able to make arrangements so that they will be able to have a copy.
Many thanks for your help, and know that I shall be looking forward to January 26th.
Yours sincerely, [3610]

REPORTS

1/31/44 [3610]'s letter:
Association for Research and Enlightenment Virginia Beach, Virginia
A copy of the psychic reading given on January 26th, was received by me on Sunday morning. Many thanks.
The reading is most interesting, and I am quite satisfied. I intend to take it with me this week when I go to see the Doctor as he is very much interested in the readings. I think he has seen a copy of some other persons reading, and his comment was that these readings speak their language. This doctor is a very competent Chiropractor, who has had some remarkable Psychic experiences although he does not as a rule want to talk about them. I am expecting an interesting meeting when I take him this reading.
I should like to put in an application for a life reading, can you give me some idea of just how long I should have to wait? I understand from a previous letter that you are booked up for nearly two years.
Let me thank you again for all you have done for me, and know that I shall be thinking of you and wishing you well.
Yours sincerely, [3610]
3/16/44 "The Psychic reading taken on January 26th, of this year was greatly appreciated by Mr. Arley my chiropractor, perhaps because it fitted in, as he says exactly with his diagnosis, and he feels that you are doing a wonderful work.
I would like to apply for a life reading as soon as convenient, and will you please send me an application Blank, and let me know just what the cost will be.
Yours sincerely, [3610]
