This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 14th day of July, 1944, in accordance with request made by the husband - Mr. [...], Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research and enlightenment, Inc.

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 [5048].
3. As we find, there are some conditions showing improvement. There are others that may be rightfully questioned.
4. In the present we would change the vibrations for the body by the use of the radio short wave. These we would apply to the brachial center so as to establish a better coordination between cerebro-spinal and sympathetic nerve forces, but it will be found necessary for the extremities and from centers from which the lower limbs, as well as the brachial center, receive their impulse.
5. Even following this there should be a gentle massage, not too much as to weary the body.
6. Keep a well balanced diet, body and nerve-building foods. Have raw vegetables as much as possible.
7. Thus we would keep better conditions for the present.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Does she have the colitis condition she thinks she has?
   (A) Not so much colitis. As has just been indicated, from the brachial center there is the nerve pressure for the contraction or for the causing of pains through the abdominal area, see?
10. (Q) What medication or treatment is best to evacuate bowels other than colonic irrigation once a week?
    (A) Colonic irrigations are the better. It is well that there be a variation in vegetable laxative and mineral laxatives. Not attempting to use either one all the while, see? Vary these, and use the oils as a part of the treatment all the while.
11. (Q) What is the best way or method of treating her from psychological standpoint?
    (A) As of suggestion in the ordinary everyday conversation, making positive suggestion for the body.
12. (Q) Is it best to push or wait until she pushes herself?
    (A) As we find, these influences are to be established by or through the suggestions in the conversation with the body. This will cause her to make suggestions or expressions of desires on her part, see?
13. (Q) Should an estrogenic substance be given?
    (A) No.
14. (Q) Should she be urged to come in contact with people, such as going out to dine in public places, etc.?
    (A) No.
15. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 5048-1.
2. 6/28/44 Husband's letter: "I think we should have a Check Physical Reading for my wife. We have followed instructions given in her first reading, and I believe she shows marked improvement in health and mental condition. She is still living with my son at ..., Fla. My son's wife asks the following questions: (1) Would diathermy help? (2) What wave length and where apply? (3) What general medication for good of the body should be used? I believe I have nothing to add to the above questions, other than the question as to whether or not she should be made to come in contact with people?..." [The additional questions submitted are at end of 5048-2.]
3. 7/10/44 EC's reply: "We are very pleased to know that your wife is responding to treatment so satisfactorily. We have made an appointment for her Check Physical on the morning of July 19, 1944. Unless you notify us otherwise by wire, we will assume that she is at ..., Fla..."
4. 7/11/44 Husband's letter: "...I feel that my wife is ready for some change in treatment. She resents the massage treatment very much, and I wonder if it should be advisable to discontinue them for a while. I hope the Check Reading can be had in the very near future. Very best regards."
5. 7/13/44 Husband's letter: "I have your letter of July 10 advising that you are planning the Check Reading for my wife. Mr. [849] said you were planning to come to Fla. the first week in August... I'd like to do some fishing with you."

REPORTS

1. 7/18/44 EC's reply to husband's letter: "Thanks for yours of the 13th. When I received your letter about your wife, I thought we'd better undertake to get her check reading sooner... I do hope this works out all right. I don't know if it will be possible to change my program. If I can get away, or can get a reservation, I hope to arrive by the 31st. Maybe we can have a day or two of fishing..."
