Edgar Cayce Readings, 4457-1

(Physical Suggestion)

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [4457]. Now we find the body physically has been in a great deal WORSE condition physically than at present. There are conditions that, without some change - other than WE see here - will necessitate an operation before the body could be ENTIRELY relieved and brought back to a normal condition; for where there are the signs - or the formations of where structure in the head, especially that near the division line in the brain - this will, with the continual building up of structure to bring the closing of the fracture, pressure will be brought to bear on the brain so as to cause the continued depressions, or suppressions, of normal reflexes through the activity of brain coordinating with reflexes, not only as to memory but as to that of locomotion in the right side. Hence this will, as we see, be necessary.
We would have such an operation performed in Johns-Hopkins, near Baltimore. Ready for questions.
(Q) Is my disability permanent?
(A) Not if this condition is removed. Do this, then the rest of the condition may be brought nearer to normal.
(Q) Is there a fracture of the skull?
(A) There was, as given - necessary that these conditions - that's why this would be necessary that this be removed, where the pressure will continue to be brought about by building up of tissue to overcome the structural conditions. Do that. We are through for the present.

"He met with a very severe accident some two months ago and is not getting over it as he should and the doctors do not seem to understand the condition at all.
"I talked with him today and he as well as Mr. [550] and I wish very much for you to give him a reading."

..., Fla.
My dear Mr. Cayce:-
We were all so pleased to receive your reading of Dr. [4457]. I have been delayed in acknowledging receipt, for which I am very sorry.
Doctor says your reading confirms his own ideas and I think as soon as he can he will go to Johns Hopkins for an examination at least.
He has very slowly improved from the very start and now is able to get about with a cane. He is his own self mentally only when he has certain spells when he does not know anything or what he does. The spells do not come as often as they did and now seem to come only at night and only once a night. Sometimes he misses two or three nights. So it does seem he is improving.
The Insurance Company has done everything they can to keep from paying his insurance as it amounts to a great deal weekly, so he is now starting suit against them. He says it is impossible for him to do anything until they make settlement.
Both Mr. [550] and myself greatly appreciate your reading for Doctor and so does he. I told him I would write you. the amount of his membership will be forwarded as soon as possible either by him or ourselves. Also our memberships.
Wishing you great success in the work, which we feel is wonderful. We are just waiting for the opportunity to call and see you at Virginia Beach.
Sincerely, Mrs. [639]
