This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 27th day of June, 1930, in accordance with request made by his brother - Mr. [...], via Mr. [99].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. [5455]'s brother and sister-in-law, and Mr. and Mrs. Case. Also the Starr brothers.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5455]. Now, we find the physical conditions of the body are at variance to the better elements of physical forces functioning properly. These, while they have changed materially since the beginning of the disturbance, are in that condition where there may be that applied, as we find, that would be of material benefit and assistance to the body. While the cause has had little application for the benefiting of same, the effects as have been produced have been apparently the greater disorders, but without the correction of the cause little permanent aid may be given. While, to aid EFFECTS produced, gives that, that only aids temporarily.
2. These, then, are conditions as we find them as causes in the physical forces of this body, [5455] we are speaking of:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find the disorders are seen as to the disturbed circulation, the unbalanced condition in the blood supply as related to rebuilding or replenishing of destructive forces, and this keeps the body rather well under the distress; and these, as we see, are the effects, or the signs - NOT causes.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM - Here we find much of the basis or the BEGINNING of the cause, in times back, when there were pressures created in the system from exterior forces that brought for pressures that give the inability of the system to meet the needs of the conditions, and the physical forces then GRADUALLY began to give way under the stress. This, especially is seen in the lower lumbar and the upper dorsal region. These are the basis of disorders. Then began those conditions that brought the unbalancing in the assimilating system, or that ability of the body to replenish itself through the active forces created. Then the effects as caused the disorders that brought the destructive forces in system.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING ORGANS, LITTLE responds to the physical functioning in the present, save at periods, and this makes for the INABILITY of the body to act in the locomotions for the system, and the HINDRANCES come from the nervous system, as hindered in brain centers themselves; also the effects as are seen in other portions of the body.
6. In BEGINNING to aid, we would find it would be NECESSARY to BUILD that upon which the resuscitation OF functioning system could be added to, as to bring the nominal or normal reactions again TO the body, as to build for stability sufficient to be PERMANENTLY helpful.
7. These, then, we would find, would be that upon which we would begin. These would be taken as vibrations into the system through those of the properties as will aid in creating for the glands, creating for the lymphatic circulation, a stabilizing of the blood supply, as may be aided by that as will be assimilated through the effects as is created by these conditions within the body.
8. Take, then, 1/2 gallon of RAIN water - NOT distilled water - RAIN water. To this we would add:

   Wild Cherry Bark...............3 ounces,
Sarsaparilla Bark, or Root.....2 ounces,
Dogfennel....................1/2 ounce,
Yellow Dock Root...............1 ounce,
Indian Turnip................1/2 ounce,
Mandrake Root................1/4 ounce,
Buchu Leaves...................1 dram.

   Reduce this by slow boiling, not too strong boiling - STEEPING, rather, to 1/2 the quantity. Strain, and while warm add to same 2 drams Balsam of Tolu cut in 2 ounces of 85% alcohol.
9. The dose will be half a teaspoonful four times each day.
10. For the diet, beware of sugars and of fats. These would not build in the system in the proper relationships. Rather those that will create the nerve and BLOOD building, KEEPING the system nearer in an ALKALIN reaction, with the ELIMINATIONS accentuated; USING often - when necessary - the enemas of oil. Also give as much of the olive oil as the body WILL assimilate. That means giving SMALL quantities until the body begins to belch, or to refuse to assimilate same. May be given in half a teaspoonful every few hours, until assimilations are changed.
11. After this whole quantity has been given, we would give changes, for the vibratory forces in the system must be set up.
12. For the quietude of the body we may use, from the beginning, those of the vibratory forces from the Radio-Active Appliance. This given in the plain form to give rest to the system. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Should we have this done by doctor, or do this ourselves?
    (A) Do this ourselves; under supervision of doctor, if so desired.
14. (Q) How long should the battery be applied at a time?
    (A) From thirty to sixty minutes. This would preferably be given as the body RESTS during the day.
15. (Q) Where should the battery be applied to the body?
    (A) To the extremities.
16. (Q) What climate is best for the body?
    (A) That as is of the nearest EQUAL climate; that is, not too severe changes. As to altitude, that of the higher is the better.
17. (Q) Are sun baths of benefit to the body?
    (A) Sun baths are of benefit to MOST bodies; would be helpful to this, if not too MUCH is given - for it ENLIVENS the capillary circulation. Not too MUCH.
18. (Q) About how long at a time?
    (A) Twenty to thirty minutes. Not longer.
19. (Q) Each day?
    (A) Each day.
20. (Q) Would salt water baths be beneficial?
    (A) These will be more beneficial after we have changed the vibrations from within that may stimulate the distribution of forces, than using same at present. Give these at the present; then, when the changes are necessary, these may be given from here. We are through for the present.
