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 - Mr. [5224], Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by the article in "Coronet", and wife, Mrs. [3386].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Jeanette Fitch, Stenos. Wife [3386].

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, we have the body here, [5224].
3. As we find, there are disturbances which are preventing the better physical functioning of the body. These are of rather a complex nature, as some disturbances have been of such long standing as to have become constitutional. Yet these, even in the present, might be helped to a great extent. While it would require patience, persistence and at times it would become rather as something to reckon with, because of the necessity of changing some of the activities to conform to the necessary changes to be brought about, we find that with patience, with persistence, with faith, many changes can be wrought for this body.
4. As to the more specific or acute disturbances, we find there has been for some time accumulation through the colon area. These, while not being directly connected with the disturbances of the constitutional or the structural portion and the effect upon the locomotion and activity of the body, yet are affected by the activities of the body in the present. These have produced, as we find, the plethora or engorgements in the transverse and descending colon. These produce a pressure in the areas which deflect or reflect in the heart's activity. Though not an organic heart disturbance, this does cause, owing to these pressures, abnormalcy in the heart's circulation or pressure in the metabolism of the body, with this condition as a form of anemia which is a part of the general reaction. This produces that which may be aggravating but unless there is allowed to be the continuation without something done about it, it should not be disturbing to the body.
5. The mental attitude of the body, to be sure, has much to do with the general conditions of the body as does the dis-ease itself to the organs of the body.
6. So, in considering the applications for improvements or helpfulness for the disturbances here, all of these must be taken into consideration. Know first in what ye believe. This is spiritually, and of its sources, of its activity in and with and through self. Know that it can, if it is the ideal, be depended upon. If it's an idea it may be changed by circumstances, environ or activities.
7. Then in the application we would first have at least two colonic irrigations. These should be about three to four weeks apart and a massage not necessarily osteopathic, though osteopathic would be the preferable, five to six of these.
8. This should correct these disturbances through colon and through the general assimilations for the body.
9. Do add to the body-functioning, the body digestion, the body complement or additions for the vital energies which are needed, KalDak in the form of the tonic for the body. This is preferably taken for this body either in orange juice or milk, but orange juice should be at least two-thirds of a glass of orange juice and the rest with water. Dissolve the KalDak in hot water, then add the orange juice to make a full glass. Drink this every day. These will add to better eliminations, body-building forces and reducing the tendencies for the plethora in colon, increasing better eliminations and bettered conditions throughout the circulation.
10. As to the general conditions in the limbs which have been and are a part of the constitutional because of their karmic reaction on body: Karma can be met in the ideal and, as a law, changed from law as penal law to grace, mercy. But this you show, this you manifest not by bragging, not applauding, but by daily living.
11. Then add to the body daily, just before retiring, a thorough massage given vibratorially with the electrically driven vibrator, using it over the hips and back, all the way from the base of brain to the toes, the cup applicator and take at least thirty minutes to give this.
12. Then massage into the body, and over the limbs, Peanut Oil, all the body will absorb. Take the time to do this and wipe off the superfluous with a weak soda water.
13. This done, we will in a year or two years find quite a difference in the abilities of the body in its physical, in its mental attitude toward life.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) Where should massage be given?
    (A) It commences at the 1st cervical and goes to the tip of toes, the whole body. This should be over the limbs, circular motion, all the body will absorb.
16. We are through with this reading.

    Two Copies to Self (one for Dr. Ober who is to give the colonics, especially, and perhaps the osteopathic massage every three to four weeks)
    Copy to Ass'n file
    Two for indexing

BACKGROUND

1. 6/12/44 Wife's questions orally submitted to GD previous to reading: "(1) Do I have any heart trouble, or is my blood pressure too high? (2) Is there anything that can be done about results of infantile paralysis in my right arm and leg and my left hand? (3) Since childhood, I have been unable to hold my hand steady. Can anything be done about that? (4) What causes pain in the small of the back, particularly after sitting for a long period of time, and what can be done about it?"

REPORTS

1. 9/26/44 Dr. Vincent H. Ober's letter: "...[5224] came to my office Saturday for a colonic irrigation, saying he was referred by you. I shall do my best to help him and cooperate with you in giving him the relief which he seeks..."
2. 5/11/46 Wife's letter: "...My husband never did carry out his treatments, not that he did not believe in the reading, but he was so busy, and he wasn't too uncomfortable as to take the trouble with it. It required giving up most every evening for long treatments, etc., and he was not willing to do it. He has been used to his lameness and poor circulation from the paralysis so long that that part did not bother him so much. He did have one colonic irrigation.
3. 7/12/46 Wife's letter: "...What are you people doing about KalDak? We are missing ours already. It did wonders for us..."
4. 3/02/52 Wife's letter: "...My husband did not follow the reading as closely as I did. He did have one colonic irrigation, but a nurse gave it to him in Dr. Ober's office, and he would not go again. He would have continued, if it had not been for that. He had a series of osteopathic treatments, but I am sure they were not given in the right way - were very quick and over in several minutes. The man had had very little experience and training. My husband died 11/16/47. He had several attacks on that week-end which seemed and appeared like heart attacks, dreadful pain, but after reading over his Physical Rdg., I believe so implicitly that it was this condition in his colon which, caused his death. I will not go into that, as you have a copy there. You can read how the condition affected the heart's circulation, etc. Oh, if I had only known!..."
