This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 2nd day of December, 1930, in accordance with request made by self, through her sister - Mrs. [268].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. [5559].

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5559]. Now, we find, while the body-physical is very good in many respects, there are those conditions which at times cause uneasiness and distress, that may be taken as an indication of existent conditions, that were same corrected in the present would prevent distresses that would be harder to cope with were they (the conditions) allowed to remain without being given proper consideration.
2. These conditions, as we find, are indicated by the pressures as are seen in the system, and the resultant conditions arising from same - as the uneasiness and bearing down pains as come from the periods, as from the tired achey feeling from standing on feet or sitting in one position, the conditions in the head, or headaches as come; the rest being broken; the tendency to feel more tired when awakening than when lying down to rest - these are but indications of disturbances. While the general HEALTH, the blood supply, the blood pressure - THESE are near normal, the nerves' reaction and the reflexes to many portions of the system indicate those disturbances as exist in the pelvic organs, and the disorders as are created in the lower circulation from same, as well as the disturbances as come to the organs of digestion.
3. These, then, taken in time may be brought to a normalcy that will give the opportunity for the physical and mental body to function the nearer normal and provide that MENTAL development through which the body may build for itself, as to make life not only a life, but one WORTH while, or worth living.
4. In meeting the needs, then, of the pressures as exist in pelvis, as exist in the organs of genitation, organs of gestation, and in the assimilating forces of same - we would not only take into the system properties as would make for a coordination of the gastric forces as may act WITH those of the system, but those as will CORRECT those depressions also in the system. These CORRECTIONS we would make either osteopathically, or as adjustments. These we will find in the lumbar and lower dorsal region.
5. As for properties taken internally, these should be of those as we would find should be prepared in this manner:
6. Put 6 ounces of garden sage (dried) in 16 ounces of distilled water. Reduce by simmering to 1/2 the quantity. Strain. Then add simple syrup 2 ounces, Gordon Gin - or alcohol with the Juniper berry or juice - 4 ounces. Cinnamon, preferably in the stick, 2 drams. Cut 10 grains Ambergris in 1 ounce of pure grain alcohol and add to solution; also Essence or Tincture of Stillingia 1/4 ounce, Wild Ginseng - Essence of - 1/4 ounce. Shake solution together before the dose is taken, which should be a teaspoonful 4 times each day.
7. For the irritation in the pelvis we would have local applications. Not necessary for an OPERATIVE application, if the manipulations are given and the medicinal properties kept for the system. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Is there any kidney, liver or stomach trouble?
   (A) These, as indicated, are DISTURBED - but only functionally at the present time. The properties as given in this compound - the Sage is for the activity of the lobular forces of system; the Juniper or Gin as an active principle for the kidneys in their clarification; and the stimuli - both in the Stillingia and in the alcohol content, WITH the Ambergris - for the gastric forces of the intestines and stomach. These, with the manipulations as will correct those pressures in lumbar and dorsal, make for a normal reaction in body.
9. (Q) What will relieve the body after it retires, so it can relax and sleep?
   (A) This, as is seen, comes from the nerve disorder and pressure in the lower LUMBAR region. These, with the MANIPULATIONS, will bring for the body the RELAXATION as the body rests.
10. (Q) What causes numbness and tired feeling in right hand, arm and shoulder?
    (A) Taxation through too much vibratory force from too much proteids, that act in the digestive system, and come from the vibratory FORCES of same as toxics in the system. This relaxation to the cerebro-spinal centers as regulate to the portions of body will make for the proper corrections.
11. (Q) What causes pain in stomach when leaning forward?
    (A) Forms from gases from an acidity in system.
12. (Q) What will relieve the hemorrhoids?
    (A) These will be relieved most by the correction of the condition as is producing same, which is the tendency towards those conditions as have been outlined. An active force in same will be for the body - that is, in the correction - to at least TWICE each day bend forward, with a bending exercise, as RAISES all of the organs upward, see? and when the properties are being taken - that is, medicinal forces, as well as manipulations - use Tim ointment for same, see?
13. (Q) What causes pains around the eyes when reading?
    (A) This is only reflex.
    Do this, as we have outlined. We will find we will bring EASILY the normal conditions of body. These neglected may bring distresses that will be harder to combat with, for gastric ulcers or lacerations - and conditions in pelvis organs - will become a source of irritation, as well as that in the intestinal tract itself. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 12/02/30 She was present for the reading, submitting questions: What causes numbness and tired feeling in my right hand, arm and shoulder; feel it mostly at night after I have retired, it disturbs me sometimes so I can't go to sleep, and sometimes I am awakened by the numbness 2-3 times in night. What causes me to be nervous, and how can I overcome it? Often evenings I become so tired, nervous and sleepy, but if I retire I just can't relax and go to sleep; what treatment would you suggest for this? What causes me to have a pain or hurting in the bottom of my stomach when I lean forward? Have I any kidney, liver or stomach trouble? If I hold my head down while reading, even with my glasses on, I have pains around my eyes, through my forehead and at the back of my neck; what causes this? Can you suggest any way to kill the desire for liquor in my brother? What would you suggest for my sister [268]'s nerves?
