This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 3rd day of June, 1944, in accordance with request made by self - Mr. [5196], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by the article in Coronet.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis and J. Fitch, Stenos.

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, not bad-looking pajamas!
3. We have the body here. As we find, there are disturbing conditions. There has been in the body, for some time back, conditions wherein the tautness in the bronchi and trachea, with the taxation of the muscular and nerve forces, has produced weaknesses and allergies.
4. For through the area we touch upon those centers from the nervous systems which coordinate the activities of the organs of the sensory system. These we will find in most of the tests negative, and yet a continued reaction in blood stream, nerve energies, the conditions of reflexes in nerves to head, to the organs of the activity in lungs, heart, liver, conditions to respond in various stages of reflexes, which are disturbing.
5. As we find, there would be used first the properties which would react upon the nerves of the mucous membrane of the face, or head and throat. These we would use in the inhalant which would be prepared. Use preferably a large-mouth bottle in which two vents may be put which may be kept corked, neither of the vents to enter the solution, but so that the fumes which form from shaking of these solutions together will be able to be inhaled into nostril and throat. Put into the container these ingredients, in the order named:

   Grain Alcohol...................4 ounces,
Oil of Eucalyptus..............20 minims,

   Rectified Oil of Turp...........5 minims,
Oil of Pine Needles.............5 minims,
Compound Tincture of Benzoin...15 minims.

6. Use this as an inhalant about twice or three times a day, for a week. Also use this in both sides of the nostril and in the throat. This will bring bettered conditions for those tendencies for choking, smothering, inability to draw a good long breath.
7. Leave these off, then, and begin with osteopathic adjustments for those areas through the brachial center, but using before each of the treatments the wet heat for relaxation. And we would have, at least once a week, five to ten minutes of short-wave radio. These are to be followed by the adjustments in the brachial centers, and coordinating the upper cervical and the lower dorsals and lumbars to the corrections made. Thus we should find these allergies being gradually eliminated. These are in the imaginative forces as much as in the pathological effect, or more so. The pathological effect is being created by the reflex or sympathetic conditions in the functioning, or lack of functioning and coordination, of the cerebrospinal, sympathetic and vegetative with sensory organisms.
8. Do that and we will make better conditions for this body.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Please suggest foods to stress, and foods to avoid in the diet?
    (A) Avoid sweets and starches. Stress raw vegetables and especially those in which the gelatine may be used, saving the juices to use with same.
11. (Q) What meats?
    (A) Little meats; fish, fowl and lamb may be taken, but never fried foods.
12. (Q) Milk, eggs, butter, cheese?
    (A) At various times these will cause a rash. They will cause irritation, upsetting. Do not stress these but do take foods prepared with same.
13. (Q) What fruits?
    (A) Any fruits except raw apples. The rest are good.
14. (Q) Why is it that I can't sleep well until the sun rises?
    (A) This is a pretty good imagination, but read just what has been indicated, as to how there are the crosses in the nerve forces of the body and their effect upon the organs of the sensory system. Let anyone tell the body that he can't do this and he'll do it in spite, he'll do that he chooses to do. Then again someone tells something and he accepts it.
    When we correct these forces, control your own mind, and you can do what you choose to do!
15. We are through with this reading.

    Two copies to Self (one for osteopath - Let us have name and address of the one you choose.)
    Copy to Ass'n file
    Two for indexing

BACKGROUND

1. Born in Russia 3/15/98; married; 1 child.
2. 12/07/43 Letter: "...My wife has also faith in my recovery through the service of Mr. Cayce... I read of Mr. Cayce, a few months ago in 'Coronet'."
3. 3/10/44 Letter: "...I wrote my application about 2 months ago. I enjoy and get inspiration from reading the monthly Bulletin. I cannot tell you if I am interested in becoming an active member yet. Considering how busy you are that readings have to wait 6 months or more for their turn, aren't you rushing things a little previous? Or, are you so enthusiastic, that time is different to you? I am still to write to Mr. Cayce and ask questions which I will do shortly before my turn."
4. 5/25/44 Letter: "...I will be at home... My first question is: (1) Why am I allergic to milk, eggs, butter, cheese, most meats, except beef; also allergic to some fruits and vegetables, mostly things I liked best before my illness set in? (2) Why do I get fatigue spells when least expected? (3) I have all the visible results of asthma, yet why are doctors puzzled and say they find nothing pathologically wrong? I wish I could be strong again, so I can be of service in some way like you are."

REPORTS

1. 9/26/49 Questionnaire sent. No reply.
2. 2/01/52 Reply to questionnaire letter: "In answer to your letter inquiring for a report on the Physical Reading given for me... Yes, I deliberately donned a pair of new pajamas of a bright color. The diagnosis was the same as several chiropractors had given me before and several after. I took the treatments several weeks, twice a week, and during that time I felt better and stronger. No, the allergies have not changed. I am convinced that absent diagnosis can be given, as accurate as when the doctor is in the same room. I know of many that have been cured, and others partially cured. All have been helped. I don't believe your records will convince any M.D.'s, even though they witness cures with their own eyes..."
3. 4/03/52 Notation by IMG: No record of verbal or written contact from this case since the letter of 2/01/52.
