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

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 - this is not so well.
3. As we find, there are those activities causing the engorging of the heart. Quiet, and the keeping of the eliminations well, so as to reduce the conditions in colon, would be the better for the body.
4. These, with the precautions that have been indicated, would keep better conditions.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Is there anything that can be done?
   (A) Just as indicated. This should have been done.
7. (Q) How should the eliminations be better kept?
   (A) Emptying the colon by colonic irrigations. And this should be done a little at the time; not too much at once else we may bring on shock.
8. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 10/14/43 Daughter's letter: "...She [4063] has been given less than 18 months to live. We understand her's is a heart condition. 1. Is there anything that can be done? 2. What treatments or medicines are indicated, and where may they best be obtained?..."
2. 2/23/44 Daughter's letter: "...It was difficult for me to get the necessary information in connection with the Reading for my mother (these are all things one should know about one's own mother, but it seemed best to verify several points) because in the event the Reading gives us a negative answer, we think it would be better if she did not know it. For this reason, also, you will note I have not had the lines 'Witnessed By' and 'Recommended By' filled in. The only person who could do this for me would be my father, and he isn't available now. I hope that otherwise I have filled out the form to your satisfaction, and that you will accept it.
   "The date, April 3, in the afternoon, is fine. I realize, of course, that demands on your time must be terrific, and each person thinks his own is the greatest emergency.
   "I have read your booklet on this subject, and the only question I have is, will it be necessary for Mother, herself, to put her mind in order - or, shall we say, relax at the time of the Reading in order to get the full benefit? If I could hold the right thought for her, I would be glad to, since then she would not have to know about it, and perhaps I could arrange to take the afternoon off from work in order to do exactly what you think I should.
   "If you need any further information of any kind, please communicate with me. Mother seems to be fine - is quite active - but from several things she has said and done, we think she feels her time is not far off..."

REPORTS

1. 10/11/52 Comment by D. H. Fogel, M.D.: "Enlarged heart - would need to know of family history, whether high blood pressure, etc."
