This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 17th day of December, 1929, in accordance with request made by her parents - Dr. and Mrs. [...], through Dr. Hugh D. Via and Dr. W. H. McChesney.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. [5478]'s mother and her two children, Dr. McChesney, L. B. Cayce, and others.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5478]. Now, we find the abnormal conditions are of the incoordinating nature, and are produced by the excess of the functioning of certain glands in the system, and with this brings that prevention from development in the sensory system as related to the functioning of these. Being, then, of the pituitary nature, and affecting directly through the pineal and its relation to the lyden [Leydig] and the glands in the lower portion of system, causing then abnormal activity in certain directions as related to the conditions of locomotion; also those as related to those of the sensory system in its pressure as produced ON same at the enlarged points in the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic system; namely in the 12th dorsal-lumbar plexus. Also in the 2nd and 3rd cervical plexus. The plexus engorgement showing the effect as is created as related to the locomotion development of all portions of the system, between, below, above, and affecting same in a different manner.
2. The meeting of the needs of these conditions will be in a manner difficult, yet persistency and consistency may make for the individual a change of conditions as to bring much BETTERED forces for the body. First we would begin with those of the vibratory forces for the system as will change the effect of the glandular force for the body, applying same to the 2nd cervical center and to the umbilicus; those of the vibrations as would be found in the Radio-Active Appliance carrying nitrate [of] silver in a ten to thirty solution, see? This solution, in that element in which it becomes soluble. Being mindful that the anodes are of alternate application; that is, the one as would be applied for the cervical should be of copper, while that plate as would be applied carrying the solution should be of nickel. Keep the anodes cleansed after each treatment, which should be as the body rests of evenings for at least forty-five minutes to begin. After this has been used for sufficient period to alter the vibrations for the system, we would change TO those as should bring about the near normal. This should not require longer than a hundred and twenty days before the FIRST change would be necessary. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Will she learn to talk?
   (A) Depending upon the developments of the system and the activities as may be created in the coordination between the sympathetic, cerebro-spinal, and whether there is [the] being able to reduce that pressure as is created through the gland.
4. (Q) Is her diet important?
   (A) Important that there is not an excess, or that as would be in direct opposition to that which is being attempted to be created in system.
5. (Q) What should the diet be?
   (A) That in keeping with a nominal, normal, developing body of this age.
6. (Q) Would artificial gland extract help?
   (A) We have given that which would be better; for, to create in the system those changes in the gland will be better than producing an excess in ONE direction AT the expense of another. Would help, but help in a development that would be hard to meet. That will be why the necessary changes in the vibrations as are set in system. Well, during all of this, that the adjustments or manipulations, or massage, be kept in the system, that there may be kept proper coordination with the changes as are brought about. Do not allow the intestines to become clogged. Do not produce an over excess of eliminations through these channels. RATHER bring and keep the near NORMAL coordination in the eliminating systems - alimentary canal, the kidneys, the liver, the respitory [respiratory] system, and the respitory portions of the body as thrown off through the skin itself; so, as much in the open air [as possible] is well, but not be a fanatic on ANY ONE of these. Rather expect a normalcy, and act in that direction!
7. (Q) When you say become normal, does this mean mentally as well as physically?
   (A) To produce one without the other wouldn't be normal!
8. That is all the questions.
9. Do this, and we will find the changes will come about for the system - but it must be persistently, and it must be consistently, done. Not haphazard, but EXPECT something and then act as if the expectation was to be realized! It will! We are through for the present.
