Edgar Cayce Readings, 5058-1

Time and Place: Set bet. 10:30 to 11:30 A. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Va.

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 had this place before¹, [5058]. Yes, we have the body here.
As we find there are disturbing conditions that prevent the better physical functioning of the body. These as we find have to do with an injury received from the outside, and the centers from the 3rd cervical to the base of the brain, which have been and are to some extent involved at the present. These have caused an accumulation or thickening of tissue, not as a fracture in the skull, but as such a shock as to even thicken the walls of the skull itself.
This produces an upset in the imaginative and the vegetative nerve systems, and the reflexes of the central nervous system, and at times there are conditions in which there are almost irrational reactions.
These as we find would respond to gentle massage, as that which might be administered by a Neuropathic or Naturopathic physician. Massage with a combination of equal parts of Tincture of Myrrh and Olive Oil, heating the oil to add the Myrrh.
This massage should follow the use of the low electrical forces, as those of the radio-active or those of the short wave. This should not be higher than one to two amperes in the beginning, and should be used about twice a week, for at least 6 to 8 weeks, and then it may be "stepped up a bit."
The massage should be given away from the head, at the neck and those particular areas about the mastoids, chin, down toward the neck, and the cervical, all the way to the 9th dorsal at least.
These, as we find, offer the greater help for this body.
Do keep the eliminations a little above normal, even though it becomes necessary to use laxatives. These should be altered from time to time.
Do not take too heavy foods for this body. Never take any carbonated water, although it will be found that the syrup of Coca Cola in plain water will be well for the body, for this will react with the circulation between the kidneys and the liver, and will clear off much of the poisons which will be more beneficial for the activity of the sensory system. Do that.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Would it be advisable for him to take steady employment at this time?
(A) Not as yet. We would have at least 6 to 8 weeks of these treatments first, and these we find may be better given by a Neuropathic or Naturopathic doctor. Not an osteopath, not a chiropractor; either of these would be more harmful than helpful.
(Q) Is it better for his conditions for him to live in the country?
(A) Better for his conditions to live here where he can be close to the doctor.
(Q) How often should these treatments be given?
(A) Read just what has been given.
We are through with this Reading.
Two copies to wife (one for Neuropath or Naturopath, who is to give the massage as well as the short wave or radio-active electrical treatments - Please let us have the name and address of doctor you choose.)

¹ [On 1/03/44, Mr. [5058]'s brother-in-law, Mr. [3432] was given a reading at his home. Four months later, Mr. [5058] was given this Physical Reading at the same address.]

BACKGROUND

2/07/44 Wife's letter: "I have hesitated writing, as I felt there were so many people needing readings worse than I do. My husband stays so despondent most of the time, and doesn't seem satisfied any place. I really am interested in getting a reading for him. He was injured 12 years ago while in the ... Fire Dept., and has been retired 9 years. I often wonder if there is not some treatment he can take, or something done so he can be more contented and probably follow some line of work. We have 2 children, and our home life is such a strain, as my husband is very nervous and has some kind of spells every once in a while. We have moved from the city, thinking the change and living where it is quieter would help, but can't see that it has made any difference. We have both read 'There Is A River' and my husband is very anxious for a reading, and is ready to follow instructions..." [On the basis of this letter, IMG formed the questions at the end of 5058-1.].

REPORTS

5/13/44 Wife's letter: "We have located a Naturopathic physician in Washington, D.C. that agreed to follow instructions, Dr. M. I. L. [Dr. Jonas Miller, N.D.] of Wash., D.C. Do you have his name listed, and would you recommend him? It would be more convenient to go to ..., Va. Would you know of a Naturopathic physician there?..."
5/18/44 EC's reply: "...suggest that you write to Dr. Reilly of ..., N.Y., and he will be able to tell you of some one closer to you..."
6/21/44 Wife's letter: "I have written Dr. Reilly twice and have never received an answer; my husband is very anxious to take treatments from a doctor that I recommended; would you give us any suggestions? We could go to Washington for his treatments, as we have inquired and there are no Naturopathic physicians close by. There seems to be quite an improvement in Mr. [5058]'s condition since the reading. He is taking the Coca Cola syrup in plain water, and I feel that he has benefited by that..."
9/15/44 GD's reply: "Today we have a letter from Mrs. [3170] of ..., Md., saying she has found an electro-therapist to give her treatments; but she did not give his name. If Mrs. [808] does not refer you to a good man to give your husband the electrical treatments, you might contact Mrs. [3170] and get the name of the man who is giving her the electrical treatments."
3/22/50 Questionnaire sent. Whereabouts unknown.
9/03/52 No verbal or written contact on this case since 6/21/44.
