Edgar Cayce Readings, 4026-1

Time and Place: 3:35 to 3:45 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Calif.

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 those conditions, physical and mental, that are the disturbing factors in the better physical functioning of the body. These are as hindrances that have arisen from anxieties, with the combinations of cold and congestion, wherein there has been the creating not as of exactly subluxations but of lesions along the spinal area as to hinder circulation, and the lack of vital energies in the body to assist in creating from the chemical reaction the proper balance in the circulation. These are indicated with the changes coming about with the conditions of the body, as there is also the development of body with body.
These subluxations or lesions we find in the 3rd cervical, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th dorsal, 9th dorsal and throughout the lumbar and sacral area. Thus the feelings experienced by the body as though there were the lack of vital energies through the lower limbs, as of a heaviness and a fullness at times in the lungs, shortness of breath, the inability of the body to get a good, deep breath without a heavy sigh. These are the outward manifestations, as it were.
We would begin adding these to the system's activity:
Take one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water each morning before breakfast for two days in succession each week - the same two days each week, say Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
This is to purify the activity of all the glandular system. Do this for three weeks.
Then leave it off for the time being and begin taking every other day (not before then) a small quantity of Calcios as a stimulation for the activity of the whole respiratory and perspiratory system and the whole circulation. Eat a whole wheat cracker thinly spread with the Calcios, every other day. Do this for three weeks.
Then leave off and take Atomidine for two weeks in the same manner as indicated.
Then leave this off and take the Calcios again, but only twice each week.
Begin at the same time that the Atomidine is first started and have osteopathic adjustments. At first these should be purely relaxing treatments, not stimulating treatments.
Do these and we will not only make better conditions for the body for caring for the offspring but in preparing the body for such, as well as correcting the conditions in the general physical forces of the body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What can be done to correct defective eyesight, other than glasses?
(A) The osteopathic corrections and the building up of the general nervous system by the treatments to stimulate these, as well as the head and neck exercise taken regularly.
(Q) The condition in left foot?
(A) This will be corrected through the osteopathic adjustments.
(Q) What can be done to eradicate prominence of superficial veins on legs and thighs?
(A) These all will be changed by the change of vibrations and by the circulation through body being equalized.
(Q) How long should I continue to do my present work (nursing) during this period?
(A) This should be governed by circumstance, but should continue for at least another three to four months.
(Q) What can be done to insure a shorter and less painful labor period?
(A) Do what has been suggested here, consistently, persistently; we will find better conditions and not a great deal of trouble at these periods.
(Q) What can I do to be able to breast-feed the baby?
(A) This is not better for the body or for the baby, under the conditions that exist.
(Q) Any foods I should avoid?
(A) Not particularly. Keep a well balanced diet, not tending towards acidity - else we would have disturbance with kidneys.
(Q) Is it indicated what the sex will be?
(A) This has not been determined as yet. Hold to what the body would desire.
We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

2/07/44 Letter from [4026] to EC: "Received your letter of Jan. 17, 1944 and the time designated for both readings will be very satisfactory. For the physical reading, March 23rd, afternoon 3:30 - 4:30 E.W.T. which will be 12:30 - 1:30 my time, and for the life reading, September 6, morning, 10:30 - 11:30 which will be from 7:30 - 8:30. For both readings I will be at my home, at the above address.
"I do not know if I have all the life rdg. data. I have the bulletin entitled 'Edgar Cayce', His Life and Work and have read the book 'There is a River', by Thomas Sugrue.
"I have checked over my list of my questions and believe I would like to add a few, therefore I will re-list the old over and add the new. However, in the physical reading, I would like a complete physical examination, if possible, as there might be conditions of which I am not now aware.
(1) What can be done to correct my defective eye sight, that is, other than glasses? (2) What can be done to correct a spinal condition and same condition in my left foot? (3) What can be done to improve my circulation - I have cold feet and hands, usually feel cold all over my body most of the time like having ice water running thru my veins instead of blood. (4) What can be done to eradicate the prominence of superficial veins on my legs and thighs? These are sometimes referred to as 'broken veins'. Is poor circulation responsible for this condition? (5) If I am pregnant, will I have a normal delivery? (a) What can I do to insure a shorter and less painful labor period and a normal healthy baby? (b) How long should I continue to do my present work (nursing) during this period? (c) What can I do to be able to breast-feed the baby? (d) What will be the sex of the child? (e) What foods should I avoid to maintain the best of health?
"I believe that covers all the questions. However, if there are any other physical defects, I would like to know about it - please advise what to do, and to whom I should go, if a doctor's aid is necessary?
"Thank you kindly for the reading." Yours truly, [4026]

REPORTS

3/24/44 Her husband, Mr. [4003] obtained his first physical reading. See 4003-1.
8/24/44 [4026]'s letter to EC: "The date and time selected for my life rdg. (Sept. 6, 1944 - 7:30 A.M. - 8:30 A.M. - Pacific War time) is satisfactory. I will be at the above address.
"I am under the impression that each and every one of us were created to do some kind of work while here on earth and in that way we contribute something toward making this world a better place in which to live.
(1) Therefore what work am I best qualified to do? (2) How - when - where - shall I train for this work? (3) In what locality should I live - what city? (a) or should I live in a rural district? (b) If so, where? (4) Should I continue with the nursing profession - if so, what branch, in order to be of the most service to suffering humanity? (5) Will the work I am best qualified to do assure me of some degree of financial security? The reason I ask this question is that both my husband and I have worked 16-18 hrs. a day and many times were not able to pay for anything other than living expenses and our standard of living was very low.
"Thank you kindly." Yours truly, [4026]
