This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 12th day of June, 1944, in accordance with request made by self - Mrs. [5217], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by the article in Coronet.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Jeanette 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, as we find, here we have a subluxation which has caused most of the disturbances with this body. There was, in some time back, an injury to the spine, a fall, and in the area of the brachial center, 2nd and 3rd dorsal. This has produced a pressure on the larynx and bronchi, combined with a catarrhal condition which existed in the nasal passages. These are, in fact, reversed. For these come from old conditions which are prenatal, which are part of the whole consciousness of the body.
3. These have brought about weakness also in tendons, as indicated in the feet and the arches, which has allowed the feet to become very sore.
4. The body suffers from that which is commonly called hay fever, or rose fever, and becomes accustomed to it through certain seasons. This is in the imaginative forces of the system; that is, the pressures in the areas indicated, upon the bronchi and larynx, touch the sensory forces so that pollen, smoke, any inflammation sets a center, as it were, to become irritating.
5. If we would correct these, first have prepared an inhalant in this manner:
6. Take a large-mouth eight-ounce bottle and prepare so that two vents may be put into same, though neither of the vents is to enter the solution. There is to be quite a vacuum above the solution and below the vents. Keep vents tightly corked when not in use. Then put into the container, in the order named:

   Pure Grain Alcohol, or 90 Proof.......4 ounces,
Compound Tincture of Benzoin.........30 drops,
Oil of Eucalyptus....................20 grains,
Rectified Oil of Turp................10 drops,
Oil of Pine Needles..................15 drops.

   When this is to be used, shake together, then remove both of the corks in the small vents, inhale deep through the nostril; also through mouth. Do not swallow, but inhale into the bronchi and larynx; do inhale through the nasal passages.
7. Then we would begin with osteopathic treatments to correct the lesions and subluxation which exist in the brachial center, also make those corrections in ankle, in the bursae of the feet, especially in the heel and frontal portion, and we will find we will not only keep off those attacks but we will rid many of those disturbing conditions which come about from the flexes in the disturbance of circulation between liver and kidneys.
8. Do that. Inhale this about three or four times a day, or if there is attempting or the inclination for sneezing. This will not only act as an antiseptic but will be healing to the tissue, until the circulation through the brachial and upper cervicals can bring the correct circulation through the body.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) How can I be cured of a tendency to have abscessed ears with nearly every cold?
    (A) By purifying the system through the conditions as indicated. Do increase the eliminations until there are at least two evacuations each day, through the periods when the adjustments are being made at least twice or three times a week. Take Caldwell's Syrup of Pepsin. Take broken doses rather than the large doses as ordinarily indicated. Take half a teaspoonful, when this is taken, and take it about two or three days, and take this every hour, and it will be much more effective.
11. (Q) How can I build up resistance?
    (A) By getting rid of the poisons, and then the regular balanced diet. Add Zyrone as a tonic. This is a compound but it carries niacin and iron and the B complexes. Take two teaspoonfuls a day.
12. We are through with this reading.

    Two copies (one for the osteopath - Please let us have the name and address of the one you choose. We would refer you to Dr. Marion Dick, 5041 Spruce St., Philadelphia Pa.)
    Copy to Ass'n file
    Two for indexing (Zyrone is sold by The Chattanooga Medicine Co., Chattanooga, Tenn., and sells for $1.00 per bottle.)

BACKGROUND

1. Born Pa. 3/18/92; res. Pa.; divorced; no children.
2. 10/08/43 Letter: "...I am writing to ask if it would be possible to give me a reading which would effect a cure for my hay fever, from which I suffer each fall, with bad after-effects on my health..."
3. 12/22/43 Letter: "...As my anxious desire is to be cured of hay fever and resultant catarrhal condition, which in the past has hit me about August 15, I hope that it will be possible for you to give me a reading well in advance...so that I can follow your instructions in time to avoid hay fever..."
4. 1/24/44 Questions submitted in addition to those at end of 5217-1: "(1) What must I do to be cured of hay fever which I get about the middle of August, and which lasts until frost? (2) How can I be cured of head catarrh? (3) How can I be cured of mucous or phlegm in my throat, which accumulates and requires me to clear my throat every few minutes? (4) How can I build up my resistance to colds, of which I have had a series this winter, beginning right after the hay fever left? (5) Does air-conditioning, which I have in my apartment in summer, affect my hay fever adversely? I got the airconditioning units partly to offset the hay fever and permit me to get a comfortable night's sleep, so that I could continue to work..."
5. 2/25/44 Letter: "...I have had arch trouble with my feet for several years, and some years ago went to a foot specialist who prescribed a certain type of arch support, from which I got relief for several years... Lately, the pads do not seem to give me much comfort, and I should like to know whether or not I am using the proper corrective measures, and if not, just what treatment I should secure to restore my feet to normal..."

1. 6/19/44 Letter: "...Today I have an appointment with Dr. Dick, and shall begin at once to put your suggestions into effect. I shall keep you informed of improvement in my condition."
