Introduction to the Cayce Readings on Health and Healing

No matter what illness or ailment concerns us, certain basic principles about

health and healing are relevant. These are the premises upon which all of the Cayce health information rests. For those who would like to make a more careful study of these basic principles, the recommended Circulating File is entitled Principles of Healing. Here, in essence, are the ideas found in that file. They may prove to be very useful to your study of the specific ailment that requires healing for you.

The first fundamental idea about healing requires that we maintain a creative balance between two principles:

1. All healing comes from the infinite - that is, from attunement and harmony with our spiritual source. The infinite is just as accessible and available in the visible, physical world as it is in the invisible realm.

2. At the same time, each person must take responsibility for his or her own healing process. No one can simply sit back and wait passively for healing to occur.

This second principle - the need for self-responsibility - can take many forms.

For example, healing requires attunement, and no one knows better than ourselves exactly what has gotten us out of attunement. Often, if we look closely at our lives, we can see (without needing a gifted medical clairvoyant such as Edgar Cayce) what's causing our illness.

To illustrate self-responsibility further, the human body has a marvelous, innate drive to heal itself, but we've got to do our part to help. A broken bone will naturally try to mend; however, the fracture needs to be set properly for the healing to be complete and effective. Cayce stresses the healing ability of the body:

Remember, the body does gradually renew itself constantly. Do not look upon the conditions which have existed as not being able to be eradicated from the system. . . Hold to that KNOWLEDGE - and don't think of it as just theory - that the body CAN, the body DOES renew itself! 1548-3

Another important principle relates to energy medicine, a new field for which

Edgar Cayce was a pioneer. His readings consistently speak of the roles played by vibrations or vibratory forces - right down to the level of individual atoms. According to Cayce, there is a type of consciousness that exists in each atom. Although most of the passages about the atomic physics of healing seem rather esoteric, it might be easier to follow the analogy of the attunement of a stringed musical instrument. A violin or piano that is out of tune makes sour, discordant music - symbolic of disease or illness. Just as a skilled musician can bring the instrument back into attunement, we experience healing when our vibrations - right down to the atomic level - are adjusted in a correct manner. In essence, all healing is bringing the vibrations into harmony from within.

Balance among body, mind, and spirit is another key to Cayce's philosophy of healing. For healing to be complete and lasting, we must recognize and meet the needs of each of these three levels. Virtually no illness or disease can be treated successfully at only one of these three levels.



6

What's more, Cayce affirms that the human body will naturally stay healthy - and even rejuvenate itself - if a kind of internal balance can be maintained. “Dis-ease” starts when one part of the body draws energy from another part. One portion of an organism may become overcharged with the creative life force, while another portion becomes undernourished. The result is a gradual disintegration of the body and the onset of illness.

The opposite of this sort of disintegration is rejuvenation. The readings assert that we are continuously rebuilding our bodies. Within any seven-year period, each cell is replaced. If we'll allow it, our bodies will transform any problem and resuscitate any condition. But our ingrained habits usually block this healing potential - the habits of action and, even more potent, the habits of mind.

What role do drugs and medicine play in the healing process? Cayce's philosophy clearly sees a place for them, but warns of misunderstanding how they work and of expecting more of them than is possible. Any healing method attempts to create an experience of oneness, in hopes of then stimulating a similar response in the body. For some people in some situations, a drug may be the best way to accomplish this - just as in other cases surgery may be the best way to stimulate healing. Medicines can be a practical application of the one life force. Occasionally they must be very potent in their reactions in order to get the patient through an acute illness. But Cayce from time to time encouraged people to consider the herbal formulas he recommended to be tonics and stimulants, rather than medicines.

The dangerous side of medicines is their potential to diminish the body's own healing work. This is what Cayce alluded to when he warned about “palliatives” that deceive the soul with half-truths and temporary relief. It's also what he meant when he warned that we shouldn't come to rely on any condition outside of ourselves that could be assimilated by the body inwardly. All of this is to say, take the medications prescribed by the physician you trust. Keep in mind this thought: what those chemicals can do is temporarily - and somewhat artificially - give your body an experience of greater oneness.

Healing that really takes hold and lasts must come from changing one's inner consciousness and vibration. That happens most effectively from consistent and persistent human effort (that is, engaging one's desires, purposes, and will) - something that pills all too easily allow us to skip.

These have been long-standing. Do not take the treatments just a few days, or even a few weeks, and expect to be well - and then revert to old conditions. But be consistent and persistent! Have periods when these will be taken (that is, ALL of those things indicated) for two, three to four weeks. Then rest by leaving them off a week. And then be just as patient and just as persistent as though you were beginning all over again. 976-1

Cayce's healing philosophy includes other insights that can help us avoid

misunderstanding. For example, one principle states that the best treatment procedures sometimes cause a temporary worsening of conditions. If we didn't recognize this possibility, we might give up just before the benefits begin to appear. A closely related principle states that when a body is re-establishing its attunement, it tends to be more sensitive. Again, if we misunderstand that heightened sensitivity, we might not see the good that is slowly being effected.



7

The mind is a focus of other healing principles. The unconscious mind plays a role in many illnesses and diseases. One example of this is the karmic factor in health problems. Memories from previous incarnations, stored in the soul mind, can trigger problems in the body. Of course, we shouldn't go so far as to suppose that every health challenge has past-life roots; nevertheless, the perspective of reincarnation can help us understand what we could possibly be dealing with as we seek healing.

The familiar Cayce axiom, “Mind is the builder,” leads us to wonder exactly which attitudes and emotions best foster healing. The readings emphasize several:

Self-acceptance. As we rid ourselves of self-condemnation, we make room for healing forces to enter.

Optimism and hope. We're encouraged to expect healing. Patience. It's much easier and quicker to destroy health than it is to rebuild it.

We need to be willing to patiently invest whatever time is required.

Alongside these specific attitudes and emotions, we're invited to use the creative potential of visualization to stimulate our own healing. The mind's image-making capacity can be directed in such a way that we “see” the healing transformation taking place. This is not something that's accomplished in a single visualization session. Like all the Cayce health-promoting approaches, it requires persistence and works best in conjunction with other healing methods.

Perhaps the most important principle of the mind's relationship to healing concerns purposefulness. A person can experience temporarily an outer healing - that is, in the physical body only - yet still be spiritually sick. What cures the soul? A commitment to a purposeful life. Not just any purpose, but instead one that reflects care for other people.

On occasion a reading from Cayce would pose this question to the person who was ill: What would you do with your life if you were healed?

What would the body be healed for? That it might gratify its own physical appetites? That it might add to its own selfishness? Then (if so) it had better remain as it is. . . But first the change of heart, the change of mind, the change of purpose, the change of intent. 3124-2

The position of Cayce's psychic source was simply this: Why correct the physical condition unless there's also going to be an inner correction? People who are looking for both inner and outer healing are the best candidates for restored health and vitality. In Cayce's philosophy, healing should equip us to be more useful to others.

With this ideal of service in mind, we might also wonder just how we can be channels of healing to others. What principles govern our efforts to be healers to those for whom we have concern? One principle is based on the spiritual connections that exist between all people. It states that as we bring the experience of oneness into our own consciousness, it can profoundly help someone else experience oneness, attunement, and healing. Cayce's way of putting it was, “...raising the Christ Consciousness in self to such an extent as it may flow out of self to him thou would direct it to.” (281-7)

For this to be most effective, the recipient must desire such help and have requested healing prayer. Of course, we can always pray for someone, even if that



8

individual hasn't asked us. But it's important that we not assume we know what's needed in any person's life. For one who hasn't specifically asked for prayer, we can simply offer prayers of protection and blessing, rather than try to direct healing energies to that person or for a specific condition.

It is also important to remember that each reading was given for an individual. It must be emphasized that no suggested treatments for any particular ailments should be “lifted” from any individual reading and tried by another individual except under the supervision of and with the cooperation of a physician or licensed health care professional. However, there were many suggestions that were given over and over, and these can be studied to find how they apply to ourselves. These healing principles can be grouped in four categories that referred to as CARE.

Circulation – moving the blood around the body through therapies such as massage or spinal manipulation

Assimilation – encouraging the body to pull the proper nutrients from the food by eating the proper foods and in the proper combinations

Relaxation – taking time to rest and let the body recuperate and counterbalance the daily activities

Elimination – removing the waste products from the body through therapies such as sweats, colonics, and fume baths

For more information about CARE and recommendations on the lifestyle described in the readings, please see Dr. Harold J. Reilly’s Handbook for Health. There are also many verbatim collections of the readings in other Circulating Files, Research Bulletins, and Treatment Plans for individual diseases which may be purchased through Customer Service at 800-333-4499.

The A.R.E. is interested in having all the material in the health readings reviewed by physicians and health care professionals who also provide summaries of their findings in the hope that the information may prove beneficial to others. When time and finances permit it is planned to have all the information in the health readings read by one or more physicians and the subject matter summarized. Please send any feedback to

We do not advocate a do-it-yourself process. Please seek out the advice of a health professional before implementing any recommendation.

In summary, the Cayce readings remind us that our natural state is wholeness and health. An innate wisdom within ourselves knows what's needed for healing. We should expect to get well, and we should be willing to do our part to make it possible. “Those that expect little of the Lord receive little; those that expect much receive much - if they live it!” 1424-1

RHEUMATIC FEVER RHEUMATISM TUBERCULOSIS TEXT OF READING 25-1 M 16 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce, this 26th day of March, 1924, in accordance with request made by his mother, [26]. 1. EC: Now, we find abnormal conditions in the body, and these may be corrected, though they have become in a manner grown with the body, and the development in the developing physical forces has become a part of the physical forces; yet these may be corrected with the proper forces applied in the physical of this body. 2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [25] we are speaking of. First: 3. BLOOD SUPPLY, the blood supply is very good at the present time. There has been in times back that bacilli that carried in the system those that affected the tissue, especially the white or lymphatic forces, and system, and hence the inability of the lymphatic centers in extremities to coordinate with the nerve and tissue of the body in those portions of the system. Hence under knees, in arms, in feet, in the locomotories we find those have become taut, and the centers do not function in their normal way and manner.



10

4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, these are very good, save where the centers come in contact with these portions of the lymphatic system thus affected, and about each of these ganglia there has formed that in the perineurial sheath itself that which prevents the normal flow, yet has formed a normal flow for the condition. 5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find these very good in many respects. Some cold and congestion in the system at the present time. Hence the effect as is shown in the elimination in the hepatic circulation. Liver out of order and does not function normally, yet the general condition of the body is very good. 6. Then to bring the normal forces to this body would be through persistent and consistent applications to those parts affected. Give in the system that vibration that will bring the lymphatic circulation, the nerve ganglions, again into that condition that they may be (the condition) absorbed and eliminated from the system. 7. Over the portions then affected we would apply this: 8. Mix pure apple vinegar with sufficient heated and pulverized salt until the solution will be very thick. Massage thoroughly into the joints and into the plexuses that are thus affected; knees, feet, hips, abdomen. This solution once each day. When pain is caused in these portions apply this same solution with heat. 9. Then give into the system that which will eliminate through the proper channels. Let this solution be massaged, of course, into all portions of the body that show this stiffness, this lack of vibration; arms, along the small of the back, through the hips, through the shoulder region; that is brachial plexus, and in the extremities, those of the lymphatic centers that are involved in the condition. 10. In the system take this: To one gallon of rain water, add: Sarsaparilla Root........4 ounces, Yellow Dock Root.........2 ounces, Sassafras Root...........2 ounces, Calisaya Bark............2 ounces, Red Root...........2 ounces, Elder Flower.............2 ounces. 11. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add two drams Balsam of Tolu cut in four ounces of pure grain alcohol. The dose would be two teaspoonfuls mornings and evenings, before meals in the morning, upon retiring in the evenings, after the massage has been taken. Keep the exercises for the body that keep all muscular forces active with the nerves and ligament improvement, without strain. 12. Do that. Keep the mental forces balanced. Keep in the system in the food and diet, not of meats, but of vegetable, fish and game, wild game especially may be used. 13. We will find we will bring the conditions normal for this body. It will take time, it will take patience. The body is deserving it. REPORTS OF READING 25-1 M 16 R1. GD's note: 1/46 A.R.E. Bulletin on THE PHYSICAL READINGS by HLC, re. a study of 12 cases of tuberculosis, quoted from Case [25] on page 7: "No. 25. This reading described a result of tubercular bacilli attacking the lymphatic centers. Liver functions were abnormal. Eliminations were poor. Circulation was



11

poor. There was a tautness under the knees, in arms and in the feet. This is the description of the results of tubercular action. Since the germs were not active in the body at the time of reading, the source of infection might have been obscure without the reading. "These notes have been presented with the idea of clarifying the point that a study of a large cross-section of the readings on tuberculosis might reveal causes of the disease that are ignored by many branches of medical science." R2. 5/21/24 Letter from [25]'s mother: "...Thank you very much for your readings. I was a good while getting the drugs. His knee is the same, as yet I see no improvement. Before I wrote to you his doctor here advised his tonsils being taken out. I do not know what to do, as you never advised it. I will write again as soon as he improves. I thank you with all my heart, and trust I can do more for you later..." R3. 6/6/24 Letter from [25]'s mother: "...My son's knee is no better but for 2 or 3 days cannot bend it and it is painful to move. He has not taken all the medicine, it is so tender he cannot endure severe rubbing with the salt. Should it be liquid or grains of salt, instead of brine? Sometime ago the doctor said for him to have his tonsils removed. If you examine him again please find out about this. I will pay you when I can. Prayerfully..." R4. 6/13/24 at 11: 00 A.M. reading attempted: "No." R5. 8/8/24 Letter from [25]'s mother: "...I have been from home 2 months. Your letter regarding my son only last night came to me. We had trouble getting the medicine. He goes to school on a bus, some mornings he failed to massage his knee, at times it was so tender and painful the salt made it worse. He and I do believe in a Divine power. We have tried several doctors and I felt you could tell us the right thing. He is as when I first wrote - knee stiff and painful hurts to move. One doctor said to remove his tonsils. I asked you about this. ...I will certainly follow directions in regard to my son and will pay you when my husband is paid off. ...Hoping to hear just what condition you found him in and if he should have tonsils removed..." R6. 8/16/24 Letter from [25]'s mother: "...Yours received in regard to giving a reading for my son, he said you sent a date in June and it was too late to return the card, so he was at home on that date but never heard from you in regard to a diagnosis... I will send money as soon as I can..."

EC: Now, we do not find a great deal of difference, physically, in the conditions in the body at the present time from that as we had here before, for those conditions that were be be accorded in the system have not had the effect as they should, for they have not been carried in the system as they should. Hence the condition in the lower extremities, especially in knees, where that the poisons that are exhibited in the system have their effect on the nerve ligaments and movement of the body. At the present time most as much as has been heretofore; save the difference in the diet the body is near the same. 3. The condition in the throat, that in the tonsil, is of such at present that it would be better were these removed, and we will find with this removal, by operation, you see, that we will rid the system of a great deal of the poisons as find manifestation in the locomotion of the body. It will be necessary, however, that eliminations in liver and kidneys be kept in the manner that the blood supply will overcome the condition to the nerve and to the organs as are affected by this condition. Hence it would be necessary that, not too much excitement to the secreting organs but, sufficient and rather of the lactic nature than of the acid; that is, these properties taken to produce elimination shall be lactics and of the saline nature rather than of an acid nature. That is, such as these would be well for the body to take regularly for some time after this was done: 4. Plain Phosphate of Soda, half a teaspoonful in a half glass of water, and add five to six drops of Oil, or Syrup, of Sarsaparilla. This will be found will keep the system cleansed, and well that the body be manipulated through the lower



13

lumbar region, and the lower dorsal region, that the adjustments may be made, as have been given, that produce this condition, for with the removal of a condition created that which produced at first must be corrected also. 5. Do that, and we will bring the body to the normal forces. Do that osteopathically. 6. We are through. REPORTS OF READING 25-2 M 16 R1. 8/23/24 Letter from EC to [25]'s mother: "...I am enclosing the reading gotten today for your son... I judge from this reading...the first was not carried out fully. To get desired results, I am sure that it would be necessary - to carry out the other suggestions..." R2. 5/3/25 Letter from [25]'s mother: "...I am writing to let you know that the chiropractor treating my son, for whom you prescribed, has helped him to some extent, but wishes him to be confined to his bed for further treatment, which he soon will be able to do and I can write you more fully..." R3. 11/17/25 Letter from [25]'s mother: "...My son with the lame back and stiff knees, has taken quite a few treatments from chiropractic as you said - no help and has gone back to a physician, who don't like the former's treatments. My son is so thin and can hardly walk, do you think an operation on the ligaments might help? He is so anxious to get well and finish school. Will be glad to hear what you think best about these two [son and husband, [28]]..."

TEXT OF READING 243-11 F 51 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 105th Street & Ocean, Virginia Beach, Va., this 3rd day of September, 1931. 1. EC: We have the body here, [243] - this we have had before. In many respects conditions are improved from that as last we had same here. There are those conditions existent in the upper dorsal area that bring to the system in a general manner, with the mental forces of the body, those that make for ACIDS in the system - a tendency for irritation to the muco-membranes of the throat and the nose, pains in the eyes, and a DIZZINESS in the back portion, rather than even the front portion, though that at times - and top of the head - gives worriment. 2. With the application, as we find, of the electrically driven vibrator of evenings, especially over the lower LUMBAR - and then to the upper portion, going AWAY FROM the central portion of body; beginning in the 4th lumbar go towards the central portion of body; beginning in the central portion go towards the brachial centers, and to the base of the head, and especially in the 4th, 5th and the 1st and 2nd cervical - see? until it almost jars the teeth with the vibrations, these given just before retiring will make for better rest. 3. Take internally those of an ALTERED vibration in Citrocarbonate, Milk of Magnesia, Milk of Bismuth. These, as we find, will tone the stomach. 4. Beware of too much sugars or too much pastries or too much of any condiments; not too much MEATS. 5. These would bring about a better condition. Ready for questions. 6. (Q) Why the burning sensation in joints and sometimes in the fleshy part of body? (A) Too much acid. Hence those absorptions as are given in that of the Milk of Bismuth, with those of Citrocarbonates that will act upon the LYMPHS of the system and the emunctory circulation; while those properties of the Magnesia will make for better eliminations. When these occur, we find there has been the tendency for the alimentary canal to be somewhat choked, and tendency for acid in system. 7. (Q) How often should these be taken, and in what manner? (A) Take 'em in the mouth! Take 'em every day, one or the other of them - alternate them! 8. (Q) Why the enlargement of joints in the hands? (A) Most of it is hard work and worry, and acid in system! The LYMPH PRODUCING those - hence the vibrations to carry these AWAY FROM the central portion and distribute them to their NORMAL eliminations, see? 9. (Q) Why the catch in left knee at times? (A) This has been strained. Hence the tendency or weakness in that direction. With the removal of these, as has been outlined, and with the care and attention as has been given for the system, we will find bettered conditions.



16

10. (Q) Why the blur over my eyes at times? (A) Those pressures in the secondary cardiac plexus area; that, and remember - the body ISN'T as young as it used to be! In the eliminations, we will find that those carrying away of the used forces will assist in clarifying these conditions. Would be well, too, that occasionally - once or twice each week, before retiring (and be sure it's after a thorough treatment with the vibrator so the body won't wake up!), apply a poultice of OLD Irish potato, well scraped, bandage over eyes and let remain until morning - see? then wash same with a weak solution of an antiseptic for the system. THIS will clarify same. Also we will find that these properties used as drops occasionally in the eye will ASSIST in clarifying same: A little soda and a little salt in about three times the quantity of water, see? 11. (Q) Why the tight feeling in head at times? (A) This, as has been given, is from those centers in the dorsal area that have tightened up by the pressures, and that bringing to the STOMACH of an ACID condition in the blood, and those forces in the LYMPH that make for that in the head and soft tissue of face - see? The snuffing of Dobell's solution would be well, into head, to clarify head. 12. That is all the questions. 13. Cream of Tartar, Salt and Soda - equal parts; five times part water, with this luke warm, snuffed into the nostrils, or used as a gargle, will clarify the mucus membranes, will ease the head PRESSURE, and noise as comes from LYMPH pressure - as it does in THIS body - see?

TEXT OF READING 261-9 M 45 (Banking, Investments, Protestant) This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce, this 6th day of May, 1933. 2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [261]; this we have had before. 3. In the physical forces of the body [See 261-1 through 261-4 on gastritis] we find there are some conditions that should be corrected, or that added in the activities of the physical functioning as to rid the body of disturbing forces and allow the general physical activity to be more in accord one portion with another. 4. As we have seen, there are those gastric disturbances that make for a tendency of nervous irritation in the digestive system. This also makes for that inactivity of the ducts in the assimilating system, producing - through the tendency towards inflammation at times - a form of strept in the blood supply that saps the vitality or breaks down too fast the red blood supply in the system, reducing the numbers of the red blood corpuscles. Not in such an excess that the condition may be called that of anemia, from that standpoint or angle, yet reducing the resistance in the system and causing weakness. This, added with the nerve irritation, brings for the body the unbalanced condition in the general physical forces. 5. A better condition throughout the body, as we find, will be made through the stimulations occasionally by the relaxing of the whole cerebrospinal system in all ganglia, especially those as related to the hypogastric and pneumogastric nerve centers; and through adding at times, when there is a fullness felt after eating, those properties that would assist in performing full, complete digestion.



18

6. The manipulations we would have preferably in the form of corrective and general massage combined; osteopathically or neuropathically given. 7. The properties that we find would balance better with the gastric forces of the system in digestion would be found in that called AL-CAROID; taken only, to be sure, when necessary - and, of course, after the meals; especially the evening meal. 8. Don't overeat, but have a well-balanced diet. 9. It is not necessary that the AL-CAROID be taken every day, but when an excess occurs, or a fullness, or a burning sensation in the digestive system. 10. The manipulations and massage, that is to make for better coordinations, would be taken once or twice a week, or - if necessary - more often; but ONLY when there is felt the necessity of the relaxing for nervous forces, especially through hypogastric and pneumogastric centers or areas that tend to produce contractions even when the physical body is not aware of same. 11. As to those associations in the material conditions, [See 261-8] these - as we find, in some of these - have not worked as they apparently should, or as was led at first to believe that they might; yet we find that these are being conducted along the proper channels and that, while somewhat SLOWER than was indicated, there are the reactions that these will work for the better interests. 12. Ready for questions. 27. (Q) Since the last reading [261-8] both knees were sprained and still are stiff. Is this stiffness due to a local condition or to the general condition? (A) Rather to the general condition. [See 261-1 through 261-4 for gastritis.] Hence, as we have indicated, the necessity of purifying the blood supply through the proper digestive forces, as well as stimulating the centers from which the radial activity of the circulation in the lower portion of the body receives its impetus for the rejuvenation of life-giving forces from the blood supply. As we find, with a few of these treatments - and with those properties taken to better the digestive forces, the greater portion of this stiffness and soreness will disappear. 35. (Q) Any other advice that will be of benefit to this body at this time? (A) As indicated, when taken all together as we have given for the body here, self is expending self in such a way and manner that more precautions should be taken to play as well as work! While this is not indicating that the body may be extravagant with its physical activities, or with its mental and material forces, in its application; yet a well-balanced body in its mental and material activities brings for a much better contentment in every relationship in the experience. Well to consider that, not as too seriously - but, be able to laugh even at self as well as the general conditions, and you'll always be right! 36. We are through.

TEXT OF READING 265-5 F 65 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Virginia, this 25th day of January, 1927. 3. Now, we find the physical forces show much change in the body since we have had this here before. While there are still many conditions that cause distress throughout, yet, were those conditions and those suggestions as were given for the body followed out the more closely, with the cleansing of the colon, and with the diet, and with those properties that absorb and rid the system of the accumulation of poisons in the body - the accumulation from non-elimination - the body would find a great deal of change and difference in the physical forces of the body. 4. In the cleansing of the colon through that of the high enemas, we would never use same without using an antiseptic in same, for irritation as is produced is detrimental to the body at times - for, as the body experiences, while RELIEF is felt, and the body feels the relief of the pressure on the system, there are times often when the irritation as is produced produces almost as much trouble in the



20

absorbing system of the mesenteric, and the hepatic circulation is raised to such an extent as to carry deeper into the system those conditions in the circulation that cause distress in the extremities, and in those portions of the body, see? are hindered by such conditions, see? We would use Glyco-Thymoline in such douche or enema - at least a tablespoonful to the gallon and a half or two gallons of water that is used, and use this as warm as the body can well stand, see? 5. Following out the diet, following out those other suggestions as have been given. Do that. 6. Ready for questions. 7. (Q) What properties should the body take to assist in the absorbing of poisons? (A) Those that prevent accumulations in the duodenum and upper intestinal system; such as is found, preferably, in diet, and in any mild cathartic that is not irritating to duodenum or pancreas - such as is found in soda, or in any of like nature, see? 8. (Q) What causes the trouble in the knee? (A) Same trouble as was given before. That of absorption of poisons in the system, irritation by injuries as have been received from time to time, and of centralization of poisons as are left in system carried by circulation, and the anterior or capillary circulation becoming slow by such conditions leaves poisons in such places, see? 9. (Q) What is the condition of the finger now? Has that trouble been relieved? (A) Absorbed a great deal, see? and not unless there should arise the conditions in the system wherein eliminations are checked to the extent that they would bring about such conditions again, would there be a re-occurrence of the condition - for, with eliminations set up - the body has experienced better conditions throughout the whole system as long as these have lasted. Hence the necessity of cleansing the system to reduce any irritation that causes the extra amount of blood flow that flows to the portions of the body so assisted, to carry back toxins in the system. Toxins are as microbes, that may be separated - and as ARE separated (as known by those who study such things) - and as seen in this condition, they produce that which will bring about cold, congestion, stopping of the activity of the capillary circulation and of leucocyte in blood to heal tissue and to prevent the accumulation. Hence cold and congestion takes place and, as is seen, bring their resultant forces in the body. Hence the assimilation and elimination ABOVE the normal, as is NECESSARY to bring about the normal forces for the body. Do that. Be consistent, be persistent, in every condition as regarding the mental and physical forces of the body. 10. (Q) How is the blood pressure? (A) Nearer normal than it has been for many days! 11. (Q) What caused the trouble in the back sometime ago? (A) Same conditions! 12. (Q) Does the Violet Ray assist these conditions any? (A) Assists the conditions when eliminations are kept above normal. Hinders when below normal.



21

13. (Q) How often should the enemas be taken now? (A) At least every day when the colon is not cleansed. Every other day, the nominal way and manner. 14. (Q) Would the Petrolagar be well for this body? (A) Be very good for the body, were those conditions in the diet kept in the way that this will be assimilated in system. Should this be taken, rather the plain than either acid or alkaline. Oil would be more effective - pure Usoline oil. 15. (Q) How often and what quantity of the Usoline oil should be taken? (A) Tablespoonful each day, or when the body will assimilate - until it is entirely through the system, see? using other conditions, so this will assist in going through the system. All such are better taken as the body is ready to retire, for these act not as an active principle - but rather as a lubricant so that other things as taken may be active principles and find easy operation. The same reason why antiseptics are given when enemas are taken, for irritation by the abnormal injections of water produces the blood supply to increase - or INDUCES the blood supply to increase, and so carries FROM the system into the tissue those poisons - unless eliminated by the antiseptic, see? and the antiseptic, with the blood supply, is an aid or destroyer in assisting the leukocyte - as would choke one to death, as it were - to eliminate. 16. (Q) What kind of soda should be taken? (A) Bi-Sodol. 17. We are through. REPORTS OF READING 265-5 F 65 12/4/29 Her sister [760]'s letter to EC: "I have been awfully worried as sister [265] has felt so bad, wouldn't have left her even if I had things in shape... Sister [265] looks mighty bad, and breathes at night almost as bad as Dr. [5618] did and can hardly get her breath at mornings when she first gets up and begins to stir and has dizzy spells. I just feel like it is poison the matter with her but she won't have a Dr. and she won't let me doctor her. Keeps saying there is nothing the matter, she will get alright. She hasn't put her foot on the ground since it got so cold and we don't let her do one thing but make up her bed, and she won't let anyone touch that. She is better than she was last week. She would dress and lay right down, get up and have to lay down two or three times before she would get a letter written. I bought olive oil, milk of Magnesia, Simmons' Liver Reg. all and I couldn't get her to take a dose of any of it. She takes Sal Hepatica every morning, that's all. I got her to take one dose of Castor Oil and she said she would never take another. I know she needs something done for her, but I can't get her to do what I know to do. She has been worrying about her 'Xmas Shopping'..."

Apparently he had suffered an injury to his spine for which he was seeking advice at this time; perhaps a slight fracture in his lower spine. TEXT OF READING 304-1 M 67 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce [at the McAlpin Hotel in N.Y.C.?] on this 24th day of March, 1921. Selma, Ala. 1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; we have had it before, you see. [See 304-1, Par. B1.] 2. You see there is considerable difference in this body now from what it was when we had it here before. There are some abnormal conditions in the body that should be corrected to make the functioning of other organs come back to their normal condition again. 3. We find at the second lumbar that there has a been a misplacement of a vertebrae to the right side, so that the end, or ends, of the cerebro-spinal nerve cord are brought into an improper functioning, so that very much pain and discomfort is brought to this body through these conditions. It also disturbs the functioning of the organs of the trunk portion of the body, especially the intestinal tract, so that not enough nutriment or sufficient force, goes to make up sufficient juices or fluids in the intestines for them to form their proper functioning, see?



23

4. To relieve this condition it will be necessary for this portion of the column to be re-adjusted, or put in place. Of course it is not sufficient to cause paralysis, but it is almost sufficient to cause paralysis to the forces, but being in the brush end of the cord will produce much pain rather than [?]. 5. The plethoric condition in the lungs [asthma?] is as we have had it before, there is not much change in this, save in the action of the blood supply which is some bettered by the cellular force over the forces controlled by this part of the body. Yet the nerve tension has been so strong on the whole system since this displacement that the re-action and reflex conditions are such as to cause a great deal of unrest throughout. 6. Local applications will do to relieve present conditions, but for relief of a permanent nature, to prevent locomotion or ataxia, or a reflex to the kidneys and their action, and which produces trouble to these organs, it will be necessary for this vertebrae to be replaced again. 7. Do this, and we will find relief for the system, then the applications as we have given here, of a warm solution of calcium chloride and 1/28% acetic acid [Salt & vinegar?]. These warm applications to these portions of the body, and well massaged into the body, that is along the lumbars. Do that. 8. (Q) How shall we replace this vertebrae, Mr. Cayce? (A) By a chiropractic would be better than an osteopath, one who understands the business, and one would not be too severe, as it has been out for some time and will be very sore. If it is not attended to at once lesions will form. Trouble in the digestive tract causes a great deal of trouble at this time. 9. (Q) Which physician in Selma should do this, Mr. Cayce? (A) We do not find him here, but there is one who will do this. He is not here at this place. We find him in a room on Water Street, corner Broad Street, with the entrance on Water Street.* [Selma, Ala.] Now if this is done as we have given here relief will be brought to the body, and the body will get better, at present you see the body is getting worse. It will bring relief to the body of [304]. 10. We are through. * [GD's note: This must have been Dr. D. Carl Thompson (D.C.), because I remember that on his letterhead years later he advertised that he was "Selma's Pioneer Chiropractor."

In his younger days he certainly took very little care of his body, for he was inclined towards dissipation - and I mean in its fullest sense, for there's scarcely a bone in his body that hasn't been broken at some time or another; yet the readings have given diets for him that have been most wonderful...

"Ever since I can remember he has suffered with asthma, from a spell of bronchial pneumonia he had - I think before I was born. "When he was about sixty he had the misfortune to break his kneecap. Of course, the profession told him he would never be able to heal it; that he would either be unable to walk without a crutch, or it would be very stiff and rigid and he would always limp. The reading offered a diet to supply proper structural material for that particular portion of the anatomy. He still doesn't use a cane, and walks as good as most anyone you ever saw..." R3.

EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. Now there are a great many changes in the body since we had it before. There are many abnormal conditions in the body - some are better than when we last had it, others are exaggerated, and there are some abnormal conditions that have been aggravated by the condition in the system. Some are brought to bear from within and some are from without. 2. Now, these are conditions to be corrected at the present time: The condition through the lungs, larynx and bronchials is aggravated rather from within than from without. The effect of particles of foods or stimulus in the digestive system



26

has worked a hardship on the properties inhaled in the lungs, larynx and bronchials and makes an aggravated condition there at times, though the whole condition is bettered than when we had this before but with the stimulation through the diet and stimulus to the pneumogastric with the changes in the circulation to the secondary cardiac forces and that to the lungs and bronchials, become overtaxed, producing a choking, full, achy sensation, for the circulation does not relieve or get away, as it were, from the local position fast enough, hence the higher blood pressure, the fuller heart action caused. 3. The inhalant should be kept up, but we would renew the properties as taken and give them in this manner and form at the present time: 4. To 4 ounces of grain alcohol, we would add: Eucalyptus Oil...........15 minims, Benzosol........5 minims, Balsam of White Pine or White Pine Oil.........10 minims. 5. This is to be inhaled into the bronchials or mouth and into the system three to four times each day or when necessary to prevent the tickling sensation or the spasmodic condition occurring at times in the bronchials. 6. The condition through the left side and just above the hips where we had strained muscles and ligaments about the lumbars, needs massage, not only with the vibrations or by exercise of the body, but two to three adjustments by the Osteopath or Chiropractor with the osteopathic movements. 7. The ligaments about the knee we would massage well with almost a saturated solution of pure apple vinegar and common table salt, preferably the very heavy salt than that carrying too much of the chalk [calx?]* or ingredients to prevent sticking. We rather prefer the baser or common salt for this purpose, see. * [calx (kalks) [L.]. 1. Lime or chalk. 2. [BNA]. The heel. 8. The vibrations and the exercises for the body are good and, as often as possible, the body should take same with the suggestion to self or self control over the physical conditions, especially, the exercise that will expand the lungs, raising the body at the same time to tiptoes as much as possible, arms extended at right angle from the body. 9. The diet should not be of one particular thing but changed and regulated as needs be - as much lime for the system as is possible, just so it agrees with the body, but all vegetables and properties carrying as much of lime as possible. Fruits, especially apples, pears or grape fruit is of assistance in producing assimilation throughout this system. Do that. 10. (Q) This body received a fall some weeks ago. Where was it injured most? (A) The knee cap and the strain to the body where we have given adjustments should be made, the upper lumbar region and to the right side, see. The pains are more in the left. The strains to the lungs are more from indiscreet diet and of stimulation, see, in the stomach than from the fall.

EC: Yes. As we find, the local conditions as are indicated are somewhat on the improve; yet we would use the Bichloride solution as an antiseptic wash for same, which would be much preferable. 2. And there would be a massage of the limb, from the knee or from just above the knee downward, with the salt and apple vinegar; not over the place itself, but the salt and vinegar massage. 3. Mullein stupes used in place of the flaxseed would be the more preferable. 4. And, as we find, as soon as this IS reduced, there should be those attentions as to the POSITION of same. The greater injury has been to the covering of the bone itself, and the tendency for a shattering; which - unless it is cared for properly - may give some trouble later. 5. These we would do in the present. 6. Making for a stimulation by giving those foods that carry some calcium will be much preferable in the present. 7. If there continues to be a tendency for nausea or weakness, or dizziness, it would be well to increase the circulation with strychnine; but under the direction of a physician, to be sure. 8. Ready for questions.



28

9. (Q) Should the mullein stupes be applied just after the cleansing with the Bichloride solution? (A) Just after the cleansing with the Bichloride solution. These would be put on the injured part; and this we would do at least twice a day. 10. (Q) What is cause and cure for noise in throat when eating? (A) This will naturally be overcome of itself. The cause is the natural condition or position of the throat itself. This will gradually be outgrown. 11. (Q) Is there an over-development of any of the glands? (A) Not as we find. 12. (Q) Should he take any more Atomidine? (A) Leave this off for the present. 13. (Q) Is he eating anything he should not? (A) As indicated, we would give more of the calcium foods in the present; leaving off the Atomidine. 14. (Q) What attentions should be given to the toe after the infection has cleared up? (A) Let it be examined and treated according to those findings through the x-ray! 15. (Q) Any further suggestion for the benefit of this body? (A) These we would do in the present. These are SPECIFIC conditions, to be sure. We are through for the present.

As we find, the conditions that are causing the greater disturbance at the present are from impingements in the cerebrospinal system, by a slipping of a vertebra or segment. 3. And if there would be one or two adjustments, and then the general care that there are the activities that do not overtax the system in those directions, we should find quite a difference in the general conditions of the body. 4. These as we find are through the whole of the dorsal area; that is, the areas for corrections, see? As for any particular or specific segment, we find these produce in this particular condition pressures all along. Hence these should be coordinated through the dorsal with the lumbar and, of course, through the cervical areas. 5. This removal of the pressure will allow normal conditions then to react through the impulses of the nerve system as well as the circulatory system. 6. Do this, and then keep the general conditions, and we will find conditions improving and correcting themselves. 7. Ready for questions. 8. (Q) What about the knees? (A) These only need the rubs for increasing or making for the better circulation. The better combination for rubbing, as we find, would be the salt rum - or salt and vinegar; over the knees specifically. This will take away the hot and cold feelings in the feet also. Of course, also massage over the calf of the leg and through the



30

feet. Then bathe off in tepid water. But rub until there is a feeling even of a little irritation around the knee, under the knee. These rubs, of course, are given separately from the general treatments and coordination of those corrective forces necessary in the cerebrospinal system. Do that. 9. (Q) The uneasiness at times in caecum area, etc? (A) This is only a reflection of those conditions that exist in the dorsal and cervical and, naturally, the lumbar area. 10. (Q) Does the girdle I am wearing help the abdominal organs, also back? (A) It helps the abdominal organs. Not so much the back, because this needs correction - and the girdle will be more beneficial when the corrections are made. 11. (Q) Any change in diet at present time? (A) This as we find is very good, if these are kept or if the corrections are made so that the system may respond. 12. (Q) When the body gets feeling normal, what should it do in order to keep it feeling physically fit at all times? (A) Keep a normal balance in diet, taking those precautions that have been indicated as to overexertion especially in heavy lifting and pushing and pulling. 13. (Q) Please give affirmation that would help me physically, mentally and spiritually. (A) INTO THY HANDS, O FATHER, I GIVE MYSELF; IN BODY, IN MIND; THAT THY FORCES OF GOOD, THY INFLUENCE, MAY BE MANIFESTED TO THOSE I CONTACT DAY BY DAY. Not only this as rote, but as feeling and active in word and truth. We are through with this Reading. REPORTS OF READING 379-12 F 56 R1. 10/12/37 She made an appointment with Dr. Gena L.

As we find, we would just take those proper precautions as to exposure or wet feet, or the manner in which the body sleeps; and it should be kept in a fair, normal condition. 3. There are still some of those reactions from infectious forces, that activate upon the organs of the eliminations. And the serums that have been injected will make for periods when there may be a little temperature - UNLESS these precautions are kept as to the feet, as to the rest. But if these are kept near normal, there should be that general growth which comes or is created from a well-balanced diet - a GROWING diet, which is well-balanced as to ALL of the vitamins, and especially those that make for or build resistances in the system. That is, whole wheat and its various combinations; egg (especially the yolk of same) and its combinations. 4. These should keep and make for the better developments. 5. As for those disturbances in the knee, where there is still a portion of that which has been a disturbing factor:

6. Bind same, about same (the knee), with a skin from bacon - that has been CURED, you see. Put this on ONLY as the body rests at night, for it will do no good for it to be pulled on and pulled off and on during the day; but bind on at night. Do this for three nights. And then there may be SEEN that point through which there may be the application then of an ointment made from the products of tar, that will draw same - called Gray's Ointment; a little piece of this. And it will open so that this chip (a chip of glass) may be removed, or will come out itself. 7. Ready for questions. 8. (Q) May the body be vaccinated for smallpox without harmful effects? (A) It's had such conditions! If those precautions are taken. Best when it's vaccinated (after it's home), to massage same over with a weak solution of Atomidine - and let it have its way! But keep the feet DRY during such conditions. 9. We are through for the present. REPORTS OF READING 415-5 M 6 R1. 5/16/36 See 415-6. R2. 9/16/40 See grandmother [303]'s report under 415-7, Par.

EC: Yes, we have the body, [438]. 2. As we find, with reference to those injuries in the shoulders, the head, and those conditions that are the more DISTRESSING in the upper portions of the body: 3. While we find there is no internal bleeding in the present, there are those injuries especially in the upper dorsal and cervical that will require special precautions and special attention to be given. That is, let the body rest, you see. Do not attempt to move it or to make for changes, that are UNNECESSARY, until there has been sufficient time for the system to adjust itself to the distressing forces that have occurred in the extremities and in those specific portions of the body itself. 4. Keep the body very quiet, then, for eight to ten days. Then we may find that there may be the applications in other directions that may aid in making for the prevention of the scar tissue or lesions in the spinal cords or spinal segments giving distress later. 5. Just keep those necessary precautions about the face, about the upper portion of the body, and the extremities - that, of course, need local attention; keeping the antiseptics nominally, and - as we find - these should come along alright. 6. Ready for questions. 7. (Q) Any specific antiseptics that would be suggested? (A) These are being used; just keep those precautions. Nothing better than the iodoform used in the present, with - of course - the local antiseptics when the dressings are made. 8. We are through with this reading.

EC: Yes, we have the body, [438]; this we have had before. 2. In many ways the body finds itself better; in others the anxiety, the changes and the activities are making for disturbing conditions with the body. 3. While those conditions in the neck and shoulders show some improvements, these - as we find - should have more consideration than has been given; else we should find disturbing conditions later. 4. We would begin with the corrections in the limb and the knee, and - as we find - these will respond. There must be those precautions that sufficient time is given for the healing; and when this is accomplished (but not too soon) use a massage - massage very thoroughly; keeping the salt and the vinegar on same, not only as a poultice but as a rub. When this has healed, then gradually - when the poultice and rubs are used - the body may work the knee again. 5. Ready for questions. 6. Be very mindful of the diet, that there are not too much of the calciums but sufficient that there is the general supply for the necessary resuscitations of those forces; not sufficient to make for a hardening of the kneecap joint, however.

7. (Q) Three splinters of bone have separated from the kneecap. Is it advisable to have that pulled together with kangaroo gut, as scheduled for tomorrow morning? (A) Would be well that this be adjusted in its correct manner, being mindful of those other suggestions for the shoulder - or between the shoulder and the neck. 8. (Q) Is the body ready for the operation? (A) Ready - and past ready. 9. (Q) Is his physical condition satisfactory to take gas? (A) As we find, this would be better to take; that is, the gas. 10. (Q) There doesn't seem to be any sign of pain in the head and neck as the last reading gave. Have these disappeared, or is there scar tissue there? If so, how should it be treated? (A) Be mindful of these conditions, as has been suggested; else we may expect some disturbance later on. 11. (Q) How should this condition be treated? (A) Should have a good osteopath to adjust 'em! 12. (Q) Is it advisable or possible for the body to go to the opening of his new place in Radio City on Monday? (A) This, to be sure, will be dependent upon the response from the adjustments as necessary in the correcting of the limb or kneecap, and in the activities as would be by the body at such times. Not ADVISABLE, yet it's possible. 13. (Q) Of what should he be careful? (A) As indicated, in the diets, in the use of the limb and in those activities necessary to prevent disturbances later. 14. (Q) Any other advice for the body? (A) Do that. We are through for the present. REPORTS OF READING 438-3 M 40 R1. 7/25/35 Wife [718]'s letter: "Just a few lines to thank you for the rdg. for [438].

TEXT OF READING 438-4 M 40 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce, this 26th day of October, 1935, in accordance with request made by the self - Dr. [438]. 2. As we find, the specific conditions - as the result of those activities in the portions of the body where there has been the tendency for slow recuperation from necessary outward activities - are progressing very, very good. 3. However, WE find the necessity for an adjustment in the dorsal area (and we would insist upon same); which would alleviate those tendencies for the slowing of the circulation THROUGH injured portions, thus preventing a tendency for accumulations of the lymph flow ABOUT injured parts. 4. The rest we would keep very much in the way and manner as IS being cared for; only the proper rebuilding, with the keeping of the proper eliminations and the normal assimilations, adding - of course - those necessary elements in the system through influences taken for replenishing that necessary for the rebuilding of structural or muscular forces and tendon activities. And these are increased especially through the diets, with which the body is well acquainted. 5. These we would do. 6. Ready for questions. 7. (Q) How long will it be before I will have full use of the leg? (A) THIS, to be sure, depends upon the responses the body makes in body-building, and in creating the influences necessary. But as we find, as indicated, and especially if the dorsal corrections are made that will allow the full circulation to and from the torso portion of the body, these will gradually increase the faster - and more and more will there be the use of the limb.



38

This should be in sixty to ninety days near where it can be more active, and the less necessity of using those aids. Yet precautions should even then be taken. Do not overdo or strain; for the body or the limb is in that condition where all that has been accomplished might be undone by a stumble or by an accident that would cause the flow of the whole influence into that particular portion - or injured portion - of body. 8. (Q) Will there be any permanent impairment of the leg? (A) There should be little or none. 9. (Q) Should the dorsal corrections be osteopathic or chiropractic? (A) Either; just so the vertebrae are moved sufficient that those TENDENCIES that are indicated do not continue to exist. 10. (Q) What type of treatment would be suggested from now on? (A) We would not alter much from that which has been indicated, or the manner in which it is being cared for. The principal thing, of course, is that the body-elements are kept in nominal balance; that the eliminations and assimilations be kept normally reacting, and then sufficient of the massage that the portions that are afflicted - or injured - receive the proper balance. Don't OVERDO it, but keep a normal BALANCE; this is the more preferable way for the applications. 11. (Q) Is there any possibility of the fibrous union becoming ossous? (A) This will not occur if the body-elements are kept balanced. 12. (Q) In what period of time would this be accomplished? (A) In that as we have indicated there SHOULD be the ability for the better use of same. 17. (Q) Any other advice that may be given at this time? (A) In its mental attitude - which forms, as it were, the background for not only the activities of the entity in its assistance or aid to others through the institution, but through the relations of the attitude of the body-mind, [438], to the conditions that have brought about these: DO NOT allow these, that appear as hindrances, to become stumblingblocks, ever. Rather know that all hindrances may be turned - by constructive THINKING, constructive conversation even to others - into HELPFUL experiences; though they may appear from the surface as to have been greatly detrimental. Then keep constructive in thought, in conversation, in activity with those about the body and those with whom the body associates. 18. We are through with this reading.

As we find, conditions are progressing rather satisfactorily. 3. To prevent the recurrence in the muscular forces about the knee and the limb of the stiffening, so as to pull the ligaments loose again, we would massage the whole of the limb each day, as follows: 4. One day we would use equal parts of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh for the massaging. 5. The next day we would use the Salt (plain sodium chloride; not that carrying other properties, but this well powdered) and PURE Apple Vinegar. 6. Use one one day, the other the next. Continue in this manner, and we find that these ingredients will supply calcium, acids and oils that will prevent accumulations of water - or prevent the tendons becoming so taut as not to allow movement in the knee and the kneecap. 7. Hence these would bring the more satisfactory conditions to the body. 8. And STILL we would have, OSTEOPATHICALLY, that adjustment made in the cerebrospinal system as we have indicated (upper dorsal and cervical area). For unless it is, there will CONTINUE to be trouble! 9. Have it done the Dobbins' way! 10. We are through with this reading.

In the physical forces of the body itself, these as we find show much improvements since last we had same here. There needs be, however, those precautions as to the strain, the activity of the body, and the necessity of the body being more mindful of those elements that make for body- resuscitation as related to the tendons and muscular forces that have had the disturbances in the body; so that with the physical activity those elements that have to do with the production of sinew, muscle, tissue as related to same are supplied, also that the eliminations are kept such that the toxic forces do not become as a portion of the experiences. For with these we would have a stiffening of the extremities, those disturbances about the knee. 3. Those conditions in the back as has been indicated need the closer attention from straining and as we find the general forces would remain for the better body-building. 4. The greater activity with same should be gradual, with the massages, the oil rubs, the electrifying - but not the too high frequency in the activities of same would be the better. 5. Ready for questions. 6. (Q) How much activity should I devote to the Rockefeller Center institution considering my health and the needs of the business? (A) At least two-thirds of the ACTIVE service is necessary. For while there are those associated with the active service of [438] Health Service, there are those great numbers of individuals and individuals' activities that realize and know that the PERSONAL service of [438] himself makes for a different condition. Hence not only from the mental and the material angle but from the activity of self as related to same. DO NOT TIRE self to the point of where there becomes such nerve exhaustion that the body becomes jittery, as it were, or supersensitive to little conditions or circumstances that arise that make for aggravations in the mental experience. For all of these would work for hardships. Otherwise, as has been indicated, at least two-thirds of the greater activity should be there.



43

20. (Q) Any other advice or counsel which would be of help to me at this time? (A) As has been given for the body, do not think on these lightly; that self, not alone of self but for the opportunities that self offers to others to become more of a help to themselves and those that may be dependent upon them, or may be associated or affiliated with those various groups or activities, the self has been endowed by its abilities as has been indicated in its associations and activities in its own service that it renders oft to others - through the very touch of the healing forces as go to give to others that which is of a greater service than may be rendered in any other manner. Not as a lauding over others but as a service to others. 21. We are through for the present. REPORTS OF READING 438-6 M 41 R1. See subsequent notations under 438-1 Reports.

BACKGROUND OF READING 820-2 M 25 B1. See 820-1, Par. 31-A, 32-A indicating his color blindness was karmic. TEXT OF READING 820-2 M 25 This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at 1867 Kalorama Road, Washington, D.C., this 10th day of February, 1935. 1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [820]. 2. Now, as we find, there are conditions that disturb the better physical functioning of the body. These, as we find, as well as being pathological effects, are of a psychological cause. Hence we have the higher vibrations that may be dealt with in giving those things that are causes as well as that which we find may be the more helpful in bringing about the greater normalcy for this body. 3. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body-physical, [820] we are speaking of, present in this room: 4. The BLOOD SUPPLY of the body, we find, is near normal. There are, however, deflections in the manner in which the supply of the nutriment from the central circulation flows to affected portions of the body. These, as we find, are psychological conditions. Not that they are only or merely imaginative forces, for the RESULTS that are effected in portions of the sensory circulation show these to be pathological in their reaction. Hence, instead of those centers from the vagus nerve in the 2nd and 3rd and 4th dorsal - coordinating with those branches to the optic centers through the vagus in those areas of the 3rd and 4th and 5th cervical centers, these are deflected and there are less quantities of the impulse to carry to those portions that sufficient to supply both the needs of replenishing and caring for the removal of used forces. Hence we find with the use of the necessary muscular forces, the necessary activity of the optical forces for a rigid or severe activity, these become overflown with refused energies and the lachrymals and those ducts and glands in the superficial circulation begin to attempt to supply energies to these portions of the system. They become reddened, swollen; irritation not only to the lids but to portions of the eyeball and to the CHARACTER of that which is REFLECTED IN the lens and in the iris and in the response to the optic center itself. 5. These, then, as we see, are the causes of these deflections from this portion of the body; this is the PATHOLOGICAL condition, while in the psychological we find that which may be from the astrological aspects - for it will be found that there are periods and there are variations in the character of the infectious forces that may influence the body-circulation; yet these continue, with usage, to have the pathological or the physical reaction in the system. 6. We find the NERVOUS FORCES of the body are very good in general. To be sure, under stress or strain from the deflections in the circulation and nerve energies, the body may become overtaut; and this produces to the sensory forces those responses that make for discouragements, tendencies for the separation of self in or from the purely PHYSICAL reaction from the body, the tendencies for those activities that make for discouraging results in the whole system. This naturally produces drain on all of the body itself.



46

7. AS to the ORGANS themselves: 8. Brain forces are good; their general responses to all impulses are good, save as we find in those portions of the upper dorsal and in the cervical areas not coordinating through the vagus and 5th nerve forces for the proper supply of energy and nerve and blood forces to portions of the body itself. 9. We find the throat, bronchi and lungs and larynx are very good. These are those natural TENDENCIES for the secondary cardiac reactions, for those conditions that make for the reacting as a heaviness for the body in the heart and lung area; but this is rather a psychopathic or sympathetic and not an organic disturbance for the body at all. 10. As to the digestive organism and the activities throughout, we find these in the GENERAL sense are very good. But if there will be kept the closer to the alkalin reactions in the diet, in the general activity of the body, we may rebuild, we may make for those corrections in the segments of the cerebrospinal system, with those treatments and strengthening forces to the eye itself, as to make for a cleansing of same such as to overcome the general conditions in the system. 11. Then, in meeting the needs for this body, as we find, [820] we are speaking of: 12. First we would have, through trained associations such as with Richardson, those corrections made in the 3rd and 4th dorsal; not making corrections in the cervical until those segments in the dorsal area are in perfect alignment, and that the vibrations from the activities to the right temple are exactly the same as those to the left portion of the superficial circulation. These would be given two to three each week, in periods of two to three weeks. 13. Then we would have, after each osteopathic treatment as indicated, the vibrations from the electrical forces of the plain violet ray; not directly to the optic forces themselves, for these produce too great a congestion, but in the cervical and upper dorsal and - especially - in the atlas at the 1st cervical. Such electrical forces will aid in stimulating the activities TO the nerve forces. 14. During the latter portion of the first series of osteopathic treatments - that is, after the first three weeks - we would begin with the vibrations from the Wet Cell Battery applications, that would make those connections between the 1st and 2nd cervical; that's to the brain force centers themselves, through the medulla oblongata, and to those portions that go to the vagus centers on either side of the neck and enter into the arteries and through to the head. From such a battery we would carry the solution of Gold; that is, the VIBRATIONS of same. The first application, of the copper plate, would be to the 4th dorsal segment. The larger plate, carrying the solution, or going through the Gold solution, would be attached to the 1st and 2nd cervical. 15. The best reactions will necessitate that these treatments be given in periods of two to three weeks at a time; then a rest period of leaving them off, and then another series. These should overcome the conditions, making for the proper reactions in all portions of the system, overcoming the tendencies for the discordant vibrations in the system and creating a balanced body. 16. Ready for questions.

17. (Q) What is my present physical condition, and what treatments should be given for me to have a perfect physical body? (A) As indicated. 18. (Q) Should all treatments suggested be given in periods of two to three weeks, or just the battery? (A) ALL treatments would be better if there would be a period of treatment, then a period of rest, a period of treatment and then a period of rest. 19. (Q) What is the physical condition of my eyes and what treatment would correct this? (A) As indicated, these are lacking in the proper nutriment for the nerve energy and blood supply, to supply both the replenishing and the necessary influences for the removal of drosses as they are used through the pathological condition. It is the effect from the lack of the flow of blood and nerve energy from those basic nerve ends that emanate from the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic system in the upper dorsal and cervical area, as indicated. With the application of those things that will relieve the pressures, the stimulating through the nerve energies, and then applying to and through the nerve forces those vibrations for the nerve or cell building force, these should be corrected. 20. (Q) Will these treatments correct the color blind condition? (A) As indicated, if we will correct the vibrations we will correct the color blindness as well as the hurting, the dazzling visions that come before the body. 21. (Q) Have the treatments I have been having for my eyes been harmful or beneficial? (A) At times they have been harmful; at others they have proven beneficial. As indicated, there are periods when the astrological - or the reactions from the psychopathic forces or conditions in the body respond, and at other times they do not. But if the PATHOLOGICAL and the psychopathic or the physiological conditions are made to coordinate, we will have proper creation of the energies necessary to overcome the disturbance. 22. (Q) Should a ray treatment be given? (A) The plain violet ray should be given rather to those areas indicated, and not to the eye itself, you see; for this only IRRITATES the superficial circulation, when it is the deep therapy that is necessary for stimulation. 23. (Q) What should be done to remove the seeming toxic condition in my system, which would cause me to be more alert physically and mentally? (A) As indicated, keep nearer to the alkalin-reacting foods, and these will overcome toxic forces. By the activities of the very manipulations throughout the portions of the system; for, as the corrections are made for these specific conditions to those portions of the system, there will also be those stimulations to the sympathetic forces to the digestive forces of the body, thus overcoming the toxic forces in the system. 24. (Q) Please give outline of correct diet. (A) Balance the diet as indicated. Have a great deal of the stimulations from the whole wheat, citrus fruits, and vegetables that are green and raw. Not too much of the meats. NO raw apples; or if raw apples are taken, take them and NOTHING else - three days of raw apples only, and then olive oil, and we will



48

cleanse ALL toxic forces from any system! Raw apples are not well unless they are of the jenneting variety. [GD's note: Dictionary of obsolete words gives re. jenneting: "A jenneting pear - an early pear resembling the jenneting apple." NOTE: Jenneting: A variety of early apple, so named for being ripe about St. John's Day, June 24th.] Apples cooked, apples roasted, are good. No bananas, unless you are in the territory where they are grown and ripened there. Do not use large quantities of potatoes, though the peelings of same may be taken at all times - they are strengthening, carrying those influences and forces that are active with the glands of the system. But beware of those things indicated; as for the rest, keep a well-balanced diet. 25. (Q) What is the present condition of my right knee and how can this be corrected? (A) As we find, this is only a sympathetic condition from a strain that has been indicated there. And as the general system and body is builded, and the clearing forces of the whole body are kept, this will correct itself. This had better be corrected from nature, than from applications that are only synthetic. 26. (Q) What were the tenets used of that period when I was ruler of the Law of One, and after restoring my sight to normal how may I gain an understanding to use same for my fellow man? (A) Only by entering into the holy of holies, communicating with self and thy Maker in thy holy temple, as thou HAST in many of thine experiences in the earth. And, as indicated in another place, keep studying to show thyself approved UNTO that within thine inner self, where thou meetest thy Maker; rightly DIVINING the words of truth, putting proper emphasis in that which is of the constructive forces, keeping self unspotted from the world. 27. (Q) Would you give definite name and address of that branch of Research for which I am best fitted to serve? (A) That which is of the mechanical nature, as related to communications of every sort. 28. (Q) Is there a condition in my spine that could be corrected? other than that given? (A) As we find, with the corrections indicated, these will make for the removal of those disorders there. Others that may be had will be the NATURAL result in making correction for the general physical forces of the body. Those as indicated are the specific centers; those in the lumbar will naturally be cared for, with the correction for the body itself. Do that. 29. We are through for the present.

TEXT OF READING 849-34 M 31 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 15th day of February, 1939. 2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [849]. 3. As we find, conditions continue to improve slowly but surely. 4. There needs be those precautions in keeping up the rubs and massage, especially through the locomotory centers and areas to the lower portion of the cerebrospinal system; also the sciatic nerves and muscles; that the conditions do not become static - and for the strengthening of the limbs. 5. Thus the body may be enabled to gradually risk or trust self to crutches or canes. For such a strengthening of the limbs it would be well that there be arranged a manner whereby several times day, or whenever there is the inclination, the body may pull self (by pulling or rope) to almost - or gradually to a fully erect position. This would be gradually, to be sure; though there may be the strengthening gradually, with the rest of the applications, of the muscular forces and tendons so as to bear the greater portion of the weight of the body.



50

6. The rest we would keep very much in the manner as has been indicated for same. 7. Ready for questions. 8. (Q) Is that just described in answer to the question as to the best method of procedure in attempting to use crutches? (A) That's the manner in which there may be the greater ability for strength, for it will give - of course - the greater strain in the upper part of the body, but these attempts to pull up will, of course gradually, strengthen the muscles and ligaments of the areas about the upper portion of the sciatic centers, and the limbs. 9. (Q) Should anything be done to stop the muscular spasms that result from exercise, especially those in the right leg? (A) It is well, after the attempt of exercise, to rub the muscles well with grain alcohol or whiskey. 10. (Q) Should anything other than Tim be used to counteract the itch in the rectal area? [Seems to get better after a colonic irrigation.] (A) Paso's lozenges may be used in combination with Tim, if so desired; as these will tend to stay longer than the Tim in the area. 11. (Q) Could something be taken to quiet the nerves during times of stress and strain? (A) Such may be taken, but these should be kept just as far away from as practical or possible. For any sedative that may be taken would gradually grow as a need for the body, see? When the need becomes too great, then Silosan may be taken; but this should be mighty far apart, and just as little as is possible. 12. (Q) Is there any danger in the tendency of the right arm to remain sore and bent at the elbow? (A) This again is an indication of the need for the rubs. Of course, this will be another usage by the pulling of the body. At first it will be only a pulling without other than just gradually sufficient to pull the body up, see, and not sufficient to pull it erect. And this will tend to strengthen. Well that THIS area BE rubbed with either the alcohol or with any of the liniments that tend to strengthen or to heal sore muscular forces. 13. (Q) Should anything be done to help the cartilage that slips out of place in the right knee? (A) Yes - this should be massaged, too, but preferably massage this with salt and pure apple vinegar - a saturated solution. Gently massaging this, it will absorb sufficient so that in a little while this will remain without any slipping. 14. (Q) Any further advice for this body? (A) Keep that mental attitude of constructive forces and influences, and make for the use of the mental and spiritual attitudes for better constructive material atmosphere and expression. 15. We are through with this Reading for the present.

See 1771-3 on 6/26/39 for Hay Fever, etc. B2. 4/30/42 "My chief concern is the condition of my left knee. On March 1st I fell while skiing and tore the main lateral ligament. Sufficient time has now elapsed for its complete recovery, but I haven't full use of my knee. Now the doctor thinks a piece of loose cartilage has lodged in the knee joint and has suggested operating to remove it. However, before he does that I'd like a diagnosis by a higher intelligence." TEXT OF READING 1771-4 F 24 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 5th day of May, 1942. 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1771]; this we have had before. 3. As we find, in the main, general conditions are improved. There is better circulation through the soft tissue of the organs of the sensory system; better reaction through the lungs and the digestive forces. 4. The specific disturbances that we find from the injury in the left limb or knee, - where there is a strained ligament, between the upper and lower portion (and this in the right side of same under kneecap), - it would be better NOT to have operative measures, but to apply - daily - in the afternoon or when ready to retire - wet heat; that is, heavy towels wrung out of hot water, as hot as body can well stand. Apply these once or twice and then thoroughly massage the knee, especially around the cap and on the inside and under side, with SALT that has been well saturated with Pure Apple Vinegar. 5. Do this for several days, and we should find - with the precautions - this disturbance being removed. 6. In the second and third day it may bring some excruciating pain, but it will disappear as DRY HEAT is applied - as from the Infra Red Light. 7. But continue with this and we will save a great deal of trouble later.



52

8. Of course, do not apply the Infra Red unless there is excruciating pain from the massage of the salt and the vinegar - and this should be well dampened with the vinegar, to be sure. This would be in the evening, you see - that is, the Infra Red - following the massage; but only if there is excruciating pain. 9. Of course, stay off the limb as much as possible. Don't overexercise, but don't give way too easily to it. 10. As for the digestive system, - occasionally, with this tendency for belching, take a small quantity - a quarter teaspoonful - of ALCAROID. This will aid in keeping a better condition through the digestive tract. 11. We are through for the present. REPORTS OF READING 1771-4 F 24 R1. 5/19/42 Letter: "Thank you so much for your prompt reply to my request for a reading. It was a relief to know an operation wouldn't be necessary, and you'll be glad to know the treatment suggested in the reading has brought results. There has been a marked improvement in the flexibility of the knee, and I expect it soon will be 100%; I am thankful, too, that the correction was made without the 'excruciating pain' which the reading said might be present." R2. 8/8/42 Letter: "The bad knee is infinitely better than when I wrote previously but still not 100% and I feel it should and could be, so I'd like another reading... Now, there is another problem. The accident was covered by insurance, and the insurance company will pay the local doctor bill but the agent was very dubious about the validity of the readings. So if you could send me a receipted bill on the letterhead for both readings, I'd appreciate it very much. Also if in the past there has been any case of an insurance company honoring a physical reading as medical service, that I could refer my insurance agent to, I'd be glad to know about it. I hope this won't give you too much trouble. Funny isn't it, the way they balk at $20 for readings because they're psychic and you aren't an accredited M.D. but they would have paid a three or four hundred dollar hospital bill without a murmur. What a lot they have to learn." R3. 8/14/42 See 1771-5.

TEXT OF READING 1771-5 F 24 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Virginia, this 11th day of August, 1942. 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1771]. 3. As we find, while there is a great improvement in the acute condition of the knee, such a strain or pulling of ligament is as severe as a break. However, with the applications that have been given the body is allowed to use same; though there should not be such use as to cause twisting or straining of any kind. Regular routine, as walking on same, and a regular activity, is very good; but for the present the body should not engage in such activity as bowling, dancing, skating, skiing, etc.



54

4. We will find that there is no scar tissue internally, unless there is the lack of carrying out those applications that have been suggested. 5. We would keep the light treatment, though a little farther apart now, - possibly once a week or once in ten days. This should be applied from three to five to fifteen to thirty minutes; depending upon the time and regularity and as to the strength and the distance of light from the body. 6. We would continue with the salt and vinegar rub, at least once a day, - this preferably of evening. 7. Also each day, of mornings, we would use a rub with oils, combined in this manner: 8. To 4 ounces of Peanut Oil as the base, add - in the order named: Oil of Pine Needles..........2 ounces, Oil of Sassafras Root........1 ounce, Lanolin, dissolved...........1 tablespoonful. 9. These will tend to separate, but shake well before using - and massage with same very thoroughly each morning. 10. As we find, if these are kept consistently, we should bring about the near normal condition. 11. There will be tendencies for weaknesses for some time, but this should not hinder the body, nor should it prevent the body from using the limb in any way desirable - in a year or so; as in skiing, bowling, dancing or the like. 12. Do those things, then; being mindful to keep the general eliminations, for these naturally are necessitated to eradicate those accumulations from the healing forces that are the body-building tissue portions of activity in eliminating disturbances from the body. 13. Ready for questions. 14. (Q) What is condition of left knee at present? (A) Just as indicated, it is much improved. But there is still that weakness that naturally arises from tendon being pulled. 15. (Q) What causes the tightness and congestion? (A) The use of the limb and the natural indication of some little swelling that comes where tissue or tendon adheres to bone structure. 16. (Q) Is there any cartilage torn loose? (A) Not torn loose; there is hardly the correct position in the present. 17. (Q) Any obstruction in the joint? (A) Only where there is the tendency for inflammation, as indicated, as healing takes place. 18. (Q) Please recommend a local doctor. (A) Not necessary for a doctor unless it is desired on account of other conditions for the body. If then, it should be a choice by the body itself. 19. (Q) Should a further reading be necessary? (A) Not unless there is NOT the full adherence to those things indicated, or there are some usages that cause other disturbances. 20. (Q) Please report on my vision. (A) This is very good, save at times when there is the general strain in the body.



55

21. (Q) Is there a permanent weakness in this knee? (A) Not necessarily so, as has been indicated. For some time, - six to eight months or a year, - there will be the tendency for weakness; and it depends upon the care that is taken and how the administrations are made, as to whether this will remain or be only a minor or temporary condition. 22. (Q) Any further advice? (A) Do those things indicated, if there would be the better conditions for this member of the body. We are through for the present. REPORTS OF READING 1771-5 F 24 R1. 10/31/42 Letter: "The oil rub was most helpful. I haven't been very faithful with the hot compresses or oil, but hope to reform on that score too. Even so there has been a continued improvement, which I am very happy to report. I had an amusing time trying to get the oil compound made up. After several attempts I finally bought the various ingredients and put them together myself. I had no success with the insurance company. I could have any doctor I chose, but he must be an M.D. So that was that. Thank you for the letter of reference." R2. 7/21/51 Answer to questionnaire: "From a skiing accident on 3/1/42 the main ligament in left knee was torn loose. The doctor advised soaking in hot Epsom Salts, which gave no benefit at all; it might have prevented inflammation from getting worse, but certainly did no healing. A week later the doctor advised surgery, that it was all that could be done. That's when I got the reading 1771-4. It worked! Marked Improvement within a month, gradually possible to have complete flexibility in knee. Didn't go back to the doctor who was supposed to be the best, after he suggested the operation. That fall I went on trail walks, which were long but not difficult. For about a year I abstained from dancing, bowling and skating (I never skied again). I've climbed mountains, etc., never had the slightest trouble only early July this year, during a second pregnancy, in walking down steps especially I noticed a pain under the kneecap on the inside of the left leg. I used the oil massage and it disappeared."

TEXT OF READING 2153-12 F 14 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 28th day of July, 1942. 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2153]. 3. As we find, the conditions show changes - and in many respects these are very much improved at times more than others. 4. There is a reverting to those disturbing forces of every nature that have been indicated through the body, or arising from those conditions that have been indicated. 5. In the present there is the forming rather of an irritation to the coordination between cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous systems. The allaying of same brings about, of course, helpful forces in some respects. 6. And so long as those attitudes are kept that are necessary in the relationships to those about or responsible for the body, there are better conditions. When there is any resentment, or emotional or material upset, there is an irregularity to the tendencies - and irritations arise. 7. These find a reflection in the activities in the body as indicated. 8. We would keep most all of those things that have been suggested.



57

9. Periodically, or regularly, we would have a series of the corrections osteopathically; especially as related to breaking up those adhesions and those tendencies for incoordinations in the body. The adhesions are especially in those areas of the lacteal duct and the caecum, and those areas along the right side; while the tensions are in the lower cervicals and the upper dorsals. 10. We would now have the vibrations of the low Wet Cell Appliance, carrying only Spirits of Camphor - vibratorially - commercial strength. Make the attachments as follows: 11. The larger nickel plate, through which the Camphor passes vibratorially, would be attached at the lacteal duct and the umbilical center - or, for this body, about three fingers from the navel center to the right, and two fingers up. The small copper plate would be attached at the lumbar axis. 12. Make these attachments thirty minutes each day, as the body rests. 13. Change the Camphor solution every fifteen days. Renew the charge for the Appliance every thirty days. 14. Keep the attachment plates clean or polished, before and after using. 15. As for the acute conditions in the knee, or the limb here, - we would massage same with salt dampened with Pure Apple Vinegar. If the body wants to be in motion, just massage this into the area. But when the body is resting, this mixture may be put on a cloth or gauze and bound on - not too tight - for an hour, twice or three times a day. 16. We would keep the activities physically and mentally as has been indicated; staying close to the diets outlined, if we would bring the bettered conditions for the body. 17. The use of the allaying drug we would keep, but do not take so much as to interfere with those other applications that are indicated. 18. Do these things, as we find, and we will bring the better influences for this body. We are through for the present.

Dear Mr. Cayce: In consonance with your letter of June 7th ult., I am calling your attention to the reading you have promised me on July 30th at the hour of 10.30 to 11.30 A.M…. I think I wrote you of the nerve on the right side of my face, that passes from in front of the ear, down to the center of the chin. How it developed a case of "tic douloureux" two years ago. How the doctors gave me shots to stop the paroxysms. The paroxysms abated but there developed an exudation from the nerve (so the doctors contend) a moisture that the blood refuses to carry away, as a result the moisture seeks the easiest way out - which is the lower lip. And so, for two years I have been troubled with an open sore, that is for the greater part of the time - the lip once in a long time healing and then falling back into developing an open spot. There had never been the least trouble as to infection or germs, the open spot or spots being in a healthful state although at times very painful. Just now the sore spot has again closed as it did last February when it remained healed for some weeks and then broke open. The doctor tells me that I did wrong because I stopped taking the Vitamin B shots which I had been receiving into my veins. After coming north from Florida in May I again took the Vitamin B shots also fluid Vitamin B complex medicine and the lip is almost normal. Now I am wondering shall I continue the treatment which is being administered: Namely the medicine after each meal and the shot into the system once a week. Or is there a better procedure? And what of my physical condition in general?



59

I also have trouble with my right knee. Due to an injury of twelve years ago, it gets no sinovial [synovial?] fluid - anyway that is my opinion and unless I frequently manipulate it something gets out of place and presses on a nerve - at any rate that is what I think happens because of the pain that develops. I really do not see how anything can be done about the knee - yet - who knows? I shall be en rapport with you at the appointed hour - am looking forward to it full of hope. Believe me. Very Sincerely, [3141] I presume that the questions should be something like a) Is the doctor's diagnosis correct? If so, Why is the nerve inflamed? b) If the primary cause is deficiency in vitamin B, why is this manifest only in that one nerve? c) Is the treatment now being administered the correct treatment? if not what do you advise? Can anything be done about my injured right knee? Of late I notice at bed time that my legs from the ANKLE TO THE CALF are somewhat swelled - the left one more so than the right one? What is the cause and what is the remedy? I have a small rupture on the right side well down by the pubic bone; am wearing a truss and am not having any trouble but it should be taken into consideration I presume, in connection with a general diagnosis of my physical condition. As to diet, I live very simply and am in fine fettle generally until cold weather arrives and with that come bronchial attacks. What should I do to avoid these latter - they are at times acute and dangerous - I almost passed into the beyond in December of 1941. [3141] TEXT OF READING 3141-1 M 83 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 30th day of July, 1943. 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3141]. 3. As we find the analysis of this body that has been made is very good. We would not change its applications that are being made for this body, save for the condition of the knee. 4. We would massage the knee with table salt almost saturated with pure apple vinegar. This will be most helpful. 5. We would also add low electricity to sustain and build the vibrations of the body, as they are created by the administrations being made. This should be in the form of the Short Wave or Diathermy. This would be most helpful. 6. Do that. 7. Ready for questions.



60

8. (Q) Is the primary cause deficiency in vitamin B? Is so why is this manifested only in that one nerve? (A) This as we find has been analyzed properly; it is not just one nerve but it shows in the one. Hence the heat from the low form of the Diathermy will, with these massages, be beneficial. 9. (Q) What will prevent the bronchial attacks? (A) These we find will come only when there is over-acidity in the system. Be mindful in the diet to keep to the more alkaline-forming foods. Eat plenty of citrus juices and fruits of all kinds, less of some characters of fruits - as apples or some characters of peaches; but the citrus fruits will keep down acidity. Thus with the changes as will be wrought with the Diathermy, we should have less trouble with the bronchial disturbances. 10. (Q) What causes the swelling of the legs? (A) This is a slowing of the circulation. The use of the Diathermy and the heat, with the massage, should change all of these. Do that. 11. We are through for the present. REPORTS OF READING 3141-1 M 83 R1. 8/17/43 [3141]'s letter to EC: Mr. Edgar Cayce, Virginia Beach, Va. Dear Mr. Cayce: Many thanks for the "reading" of July 30th ult. I am delighted to learn that I am in as good shape as it seems to indicate. And particularly pleased am I to find that my doctor has been on the "right track" - when I told him how pleased I was to find that he was correct, he emphatically announced "and so am I"…. I shall do my best to follow the advice. But as to the diet I have my doubts on account of the "point rationing" to which we must bow "for the DURATION". I am growing suspicious of the word. Again my heartfelt thanks. Believe me, Very Sincerely Yours, [3141]

Strep infection after birth of my first child - localized in kneecap which left it stiff - had two operations but neither time did it become moveable. Last doctor advised me to leave it alone, better as it is than it might be. TEXT OF READING 3287-1 F 35 This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 14th day of October, 1943. 2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3287]. 3. As we find, while in many respects the physical forces are very good, there are disturbances that need correction in the present. For, gradually, with the disturbances, the resistances are being broken down; and may later affect other portions of the body. 4. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body:



62

5. The blood supply indicates that there has been and still is a form of strep. Not sufficient to produce too great a strain, nor such a great strain as to break down the body, but where there has been infection it continues to produce sufficient disturbances as to cause the body not only to give way to the injuries but to gradually cause the structural portions in the pelvic area to become out of balance. 6. This produces a strain on the whole body. This, combined with the infection and the continued disturbance at the knee, will give way to greater disorders later - unless corrections are made. 7. These, to be sure, act upon the nerve forces of the body. Oft there is produced irritation and aggravation through the whole mental as well as physical forces of the body. Also, through the giving way to the unbalanced condition, these are causing aggravations to the nerve forces that make for a better balance between the impulses of the body and the general physical forces. And these prevent the body, then, from keeping the better influences about its own activities. 8. In meeting the needs of these, not only is it necessary to consider the organs that are being involved, - as in the pelvic area and the heart, - but the general nervous system, as well as the blood stream itself. 9. Then, in removing the disturbances or in making corrections, - first there should be the purifying of the blood stream. This we would do by giving those properties that would clarify the glandular system. 10. Begin taking Atomidine internally, one drop in half a glass of water each morning before breakfast, for five days. Then leave off five days. Then take again five days. 11. THEN begin taking (not before) the Saffron Tea, a cupful each day - or at least two ounces. Put a pinch of the American Saffron in a teacup and pour boiling water over it - allow to stand for twenty to thirty minutes - strain and drink. A pinch between the thumb and forefinger, in the cup of boiling water. Drink two ounces of this, once each day. 12. Also at the same time begin taking mullein tea, prepared in the same manner - one dram to a cup of boiling water, allowed to steep - drinking only an ounce of this, once each day. 13. Once each week we would apply Glyco-Thymoline Packs about the knee. 14. Once a week (at different periods, of course, but have a regular time to do it each week) apply Mullein Stupes on the knee. Use the green Mullein if possible, though it will be rather seared at this period of the year. Use as broad or large leaves as possible, allowing them to remain in boiling water a few minutes to wilt them thoroughly, and apply in layers about the knee. 15. Each of these Packs would be left on for one hour. 16. The Glyco-Thymoline is alkaline, while the Mullein is tending more toward acid, - but these are acids and poisons in the knee that cause the stiffness, where the oil has been taken from the system, see? 17. Following the packs each time - which would be twice a week, you see, but at opposite periods of the week - massage the knee with a combination of oils in these proportions: Olive Oil.................2 ounces,



63

Peanut Oil................2 ounces, Lanolin (liquefied).......1 teaspoonful. 18. When beginning with the second round of the Atomidine, - begin with osteopathic adjustments and corrections in the pelvic areas, and to correct these disturbances in the unbalancing of the body. This would require at least six of such adjustments, properly made. We would have one like Irvin to give these. 19. Keep up, then, the Saffron and the Stupes and the Packs, also the Mullein Tea, and we should correct these conditions for this body. 20. Keep good eliminations, even though it may be necessary at times to take colonics. Do take colonics rather than too much of cathartics. But the use of the Saffron as well as the Mullein should correct the eliminations. 21. In the diet, - keep away from too much starches. Have plenty of sea foods, fowl; little or no hog meat or beef - for this body. Use plenty of vegetables that are grown above and below the ground, but in the proportion of two above to one below the ground. 22. Ready for questions. 23. (Q) Will this treatment get rid of the arthritic condition? (A) This is neuritic, NOT arthritic in this body - and it's a blessed thing it is! but taking these properties indicated will purify the body. 24. (Q) Will the stiffness of the knee be overcome, so that it will be moveable? (A) It should - it WILL, if the massages are given properly! Give the oil massage each time after the Glyco-Thymoline Packs, you see, as well as following the Mullein Stupes. 25. We are through with this Reading.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before. 3. As we find, there are improvements in the general conditions of the body. As the body should realize, these conditions have been longstanding. Some have become almost constitutional. The body expects to be in distress and it remains in distress. For what one builds in the subconscious of itself, it becomes - rather as a habit, like any form of activity by the voluntary motions of the body-forces. 4. If the body will keep applying those things suggested there may be continued improvement. The general osteopathic manipulations may be made a little bit farther apart, yet there should be kept up those things to aid the body in eliminating poisons. 5. It is best, too, that the eliminations be increased at times by the use of laxatives. Alternate between a vegetable laxative and a mineral laxative, so that the body may be prevented from becoming so attuned or adjusted to such that quantities would have to be increased. 6. Do keep up the eliminating of the poisons by the tea suggested for the alimentary canal. Do keep up the massage and the packs for the knee. This condition needs to be dissolved, broken up, so that the eliminations may carry away the accumulations. Thus the necessity for increasing the circulation from time to time as to the alimentary canal elimination, so that the body doesn't reabsorb and thus produce toxic conditions to be again eliminated. 7. The condition in the pelvis is much improved yet this doesn't always remain in the same position as the adjustments. For the body has been accustomed to limp and it'll keep on limping, until it breaks itself of the habit, by forming other habits. We break a habit by forming a habit. This we all do. So does the body. Think constructively. Be constructive but do keep up those suggestions we have indicated if we would eliminate these disturbances from the body. 8. Ready for questions. 9. (Q) Where can I get mullein in Florida? (A) Wherever cows graze in Florida or anywhere else, mullein grows. It is one of the mosses that comes from feeding cattle - cows especially. 10. (Q) What causes swelling in right knee, leg and ankle? (A) Lack of proper elimination, partly by the lack of proper alimentary canal eliminations and too much exercise on this particular portion of the body. 11. (Q) Would sulpha drugs help the strep condition? (A) And make you worse in other conditions? Yes. 12. (Q) Why no pep or vitality or endurance? (A) Poisons in the system as has been indicated that must be eliminated by increasing the eliminations. Do as has been outlined for better conditions of this body. 13.

EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now the abnormal conditions as we find in this body have to do with the circulation through certain portions of the body and with specific conditions as exist in portions of the body produced from, by or through exterior forces and producing a condition in the body. 2. Now, these are conditions as we find in this body, [4445], better known as [4445], see: The circulation - first, we find the body is very good throughout, save with the action of the blood supplying force with the nerve tensioned condition. It allows the filling up of portions in the venous or vein circulation so as to give above the normal pressure, see. Within the blood system or circulation we find the elements of the blood itself is very good and not an organic condition or not a specific or special functioning condition, save as it has to do with the nervous



67

forces for in numbers of cellular forces in the blood are normal though full. The elemental condition in the hemoglobin is good. The body takes, needs and requires the full oxidation in the system for the plethora condition existing in the veins themselves rather than arterial pressure, so there is no organic heart forces produced by the high pressure. Through the nervous system we find the condition that produces the action as expressed in the circulation is with the overtaxed nerve forces at times and with the high hepatic circulation there is or has been and the effects are still apparent with the nerve forces as expressed in the pneumogastric and hypogastric centers and plexus, the relaxing of the glands and tissue governing the change of blood forces from arterial to vein supply in a condition not to be overly alarmed with at present, but one needs to be careful of, especially, of the hepatic circulation. In the functioning of the organs themselves, we find as this: in the action of the brain forces, there we find the body very good, capable of good discrimination, yet always not perfect judgement. The action of the forces through the antrum we find produces conditions that work against the digestion at times, for with the Streptococcus produced through the upper portion or the upper antrum of the first or the posterior or lower at times, there is the lack of a perfect creating of lactics in the secretions of the stomach, and it affecting the cardiac end of the stomach apparently making the organ full before much food has been taken in the system, and through the action of the nerves of the stomach or the pneumogastric gives the effect to the circulation producing over-stimulated secondary cardiac plexus. The functioning of the lungs themselves are good. Of the digestive tract, only as shown as we have given. The reflex, when we have an overtaxed condition, to the liver is to produce that state in the intestinal tract as to produce a strain to the ligaments of all of the walls of the intestines and, especially, is this shown at times, though not always, through the lower end of the colon where there are some lacerations when feces is excluded from the system, it beginning then, the over-flow of circulation of blood being attached to, but eliminating through the channels of the portions of the body governed by the hypogastric, sacral and ilium plexus or those of the sacral region or the bladder and prostate glands. The functioning of the organs of the hepatic circulation, that is, the liver and kidneys are strained by opposite cycles, that is, with the normal functioning of the liver there is a strained condition through action of the kidneys with a full, free functioning of the emunctories in the kidneys, the liver suffers or apparently does from its action. Through the low extremities where we have the effect of the strained ligaments about the knee, we find there is an over-secretion of the lymph about the end of the ligaments and muscles governing the action of this portion of the body. These need the stimulation necessary to make more perfect elimination from the system and not so much coagulation of the lymphatic forces. To give the proper balance to this system, and this body we would, for the three elements producing the conditions in the system, use those to reach the specific trouble. We would, for the condition as we find in the mouth besides the local treatment for some of the molars, use this as a wash or gargle for this body:



68

3. To four drams of Prickly Ash Bark, add one-half pint of water, reduce or allow to steep for thirty minutes, not boil. To this solution when strained add one part of salt and use as a wash or gargle for this body. Use this once or twice each week until the conditions are removed. This will prevent the inroads of the bacteria or bacilli in this portion of the body. For the condition as exist through the blood forces and the condition in the stomach and hepatic circulation take this: 4. To one gallon of rain water, (we need the nitrates in it so use the rain water) add eight ounces of sage, reduce by simmering to one quart, strain, while warm add four ounces of cane sugar first dissolved in warm water, six ounces of gin, Gordon's gin preferred, fifteen grains of Ambergris dissolved in one ounce of grain alcohol, two drams of Cinnamon preferably in the bark, three drams of Balsam of Tolu. The dose of this would be tablespoonful morning before meals and night before retiring, see. For the local condition in the limbs or limb, we would massage well into this organ or portion of the body, a saturated solution of salt and apple vinegar - massage well into the lower part of the knee and around the whole portion of both ends of the upper and lower border of the tibia and fibula of the limb. Take specific exercise of the proper portion of the body, that is, circular motions for the condition through the sensory organism. It will assist the eye forces and that of the hearing, speech and feeling for with the over-pressure there is at times, too much sediments left about the plexuses governing the sensory organism between the sensory and sympathetic nervous systems about the cervical region. Give exercise or take exercise night and morning but by a specific manner. The application to the limb would be once each day until the soreness and swelling is relieved. Do that, for this body is very good, [4445], better known as [4445]. 5. (Q) Mr. Cayce, will the treatments that you have prescribed better the condition of the sight? (A) It will or we would not have given that here, you see. It is for the strengthening of the supplying forces, that is, nerve and blood supply to all the organs of the head, the eye suffers more than the others. The pressure through blood forces will be relieved by the conditions as we have given to be enacted upon by the properties taken into the system for the liver, kidneys and throughout the intestinal system relieving the conditions through the end or through the posterior regions of the pelvis. Use with the exercises the bending forward exercise to force the blood from the rectum, you see. Do that as we have given and we will keep this body well fit. We are through.

EC: Now, we find there are conditions in the body that are abnormal that may be corrected. While we find the general condition throughout the body very good for the present conditions in the physical or earth plane, yet there are those physical conditions in the system that may be corrected and give the body the better forces through the physical plane. 2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4808] present in this room, we are speaking of. First: 3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find the blood forces very good. While the pressure is subnormal at times, the distribution of the blood forces in the system, so far as the developing of the body itself and so far as the unit forces go, with the building or the supplying of new life to those used forces, and portions of the system, the blood supply very good. The circulation at times hindered by other conditions, as we shall see. Also producing the subnormal pressure at times. 4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find those conditions that have been exaggerated in the system more than at the present time. There is in some of the centers that condition produced by the lack of the proper forces being enacted through those centers to supply nerve nutriment to portions of the body, as we have in the lower dorsal plexus, that center that has in times back impaired the condition that exists and did exist in the lower extremities. This produces in the circulation of the lymphatics and the lymphatic centers that condition where that



70

there was inflammation brought about; and the surrogation [segregation?] of those fluids as created and those centers produced conditions that were injurious to the functioning of the extremities themselves. Hence the limbs, the feet, became impaired in their action through this condition. The condition as exists in the limb and knee at present being the effect, and not the cause of the condition, for this has left some influences from outside, yet with the blood supply and the correction of those impinionments in the lower lumbar region these conditions may be assisted, and the distress as caused in the system at times be removed. We would also rejuvenate the functioning of the liver, and the kidneys, to their action, and with the correct incentive for proper elimination in the emunctory circulation the lymphatic will be removed from the strain as it is at present placed under at times, for with this deflected circulation in the lymphatics the impinionment comes to those portions where there is left in the system sediments from used tissue's action in the system. Again we find there is a slight lesion as is formed in the sixth dorsal plexus. This as we find produces at times pressure to portions of the upper part of body. This produces then irritation to the sympathetic system, for it comes in junction with same through the secondary cardiac forces, and in this way we find the impaired pressure in the blood supply of the system. 5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, we find these, for the condition of the body, very good. There has been in times back those conditions in the system that have been gradually relieved, and the body does not come under the stress of those at the present time as it has in times back. This is being benefited by things as received from outside of system and by the system adjusting itself to the condition of the body. 6. In the functioning of organs, we find all very good in their functioning, save as is given, in the liver and in the kidneys to produce the correct elimination for conditions existing in the system. 7. Then to remove or bring the better forces, and the correction of the conditions in the system we would be specific in the action of the body, and be in that way and manner that will give the body the reaction as is necessary, without producing in the functioning of other organs that may be affected by these, their improper action. 8. We would take in the system this: 9. To ten ounces of distilled water, add: Chloride of Gold..........10 grains, with Bromide of Soda...........16 grains. 10. The dose would be (and this would be well shaken before the dose is taken) five drops in half a glass of water every other day. Take the vibrations from electrically driven vibrator across the lower portion of the body, especially across the junction of the locomotary centers, and up the spine to the shoulders, in the centers, the cardiac, secondary cardiac, brachial plexus, solar plexus, second, third and fourth lumbar plexus, ilium plexus and down the limbs to the under part of knee. Opposite days from this take the violet ray over the same portion of the body, with the large or broad applicator. 11. The doses of the Gold and Soda as would be taken would be the five drops in half a glass of water twice each day.



71

12. Do that, and we will find we will bring the better eliminations for this system, and correct the conditions in the body producing them. 13. For those conditions that have been created locally in knee and feet at times, rub well with saturated solution of pure apple vinegar and salt, when these give distress to the system, massaging this well into the parts so affected. 14. Do that. REPORTS OF READING 4808-1 F ADULT None.

LS: You will answer the following questions: Should further quantity of the medicinal properties be taken by this body? What causes the trouble in the left knee? 2. EC: We have had this before, you see. 3. Now, we find the general condition, and those producing specific distress to portions of this body, are greatly improved. There are certain centers and ligaments and tissue involved in the condition as yet. Though the elimination in the system has been greatly improved, there needs be more of those vibrations given the system that will counteract conditions in the body and gradually build the system to the better vibration. With conditions existing as we had them before, we cannot expect these to be overcome immediately, but with the general condition, and that producing the improper vibration, corrected, and being corrected, the body will gradually be on the improve, for specific condition as we find in the limbs, the nerves, the ligaments, become inflamed by the lack of elimination and poor circulation. We would apply each day this: Saturated solution of rain water and common table salt, with warm bandages of pure apple vinegar to drive the ingredients in, and create the necessary vibration for circulation to remove conditions, by producing counter irritation in parts affected. As this removes the soreness and inflammation, gently massage these properties, fixed or prepared in equal quantities into the joints and portions affected.



73

4. Take those medicinal properties again in system, as given, and add every third day this: To one half glass of water add half a teaspoonful plain phosphate of soda, with five drops syrup of sarsaparilla, with one drop of oil of white pine. 5. Keep that in the system, with the vibrations to exterior portions and local applications, and we will find we will gradually build the correct vibration, elimination and assimilation throughout this system. 6.

Is there a possibility of securing 50% mobilization in the knee? Is it worth while going to see Dr. Michael Hoke, orthopedic surgeon at Atlanta, Georgia? He is considered quite an authority. Intended going down next week. Is it worth while seeking further medical attention? If Mr. Cayce can, will he recommend some kind of treatment to relieve pain and swelling? Can he state any time that he thinks this condition might improve? Is an operation absolutely necessary? Can this be cured without an operation? Can successful treatment be secured, and one still go to work? Would there be more possibility of securing better medical attention elsewhere than in New York? CAN THE CONDITION BE ABSOLUTELY CURED - HOW AND WHEN? TEXT OF READING 4876-1 F ADULT This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce, this 11th day of February, 1932. 1. EC: We have the body here, [4876], and those conditions that disturb the physical forces of the body. As we find, while there has been given that the fluids in the joints may not be brought back, with the proper administrations, this may be MATERIALLY aided and EVENTUALLY near the normal reactions in same. 2. True, there are at present IMMOVABLE forces as related to the cap and the cushions, or the fluids about same. Would these be massaged thoroughly night and morning with pure apple vinegar and a saturated solution of salt in same, until there may be felt even an irritation about same, this will ENLIVEN the tissue. 3. Then take, twice each week, one-quarter grain of animated ash, following same - in thirty to forty minutes - with the ultra-violet ray, for one and a half minutes, thirty-eight inches from the body, over the LUMBAR and lower solar plexus area, on the spine, and one and a half minutes on the back portion of the knee, or knee joint.



75

4. As for the diet for the body, this should not be of any vegetables that grow UNDER the ground - but rather those of the leafy, with not TOO much meats, and not TOO much of those things that make for acid in the system; not too much sweets, but a wholesome, well-balanced diet. Ready for questions. 5. (Q) What would be suggested to relieve pain and swelling? (A) It's been suggested! That of the saturated solution of salt - rough salt, see? heavy salt; not BATH salt, but heavy salt - as MEAT salt, or coarse salt - NOT bath salt. This with PURE apple vinegar. Twice each day massage it around the area that causes distress. The first two or three may make for apparent irritation. Then this will subside. Do that. We will find better use of the body. We would take the ash on Tuesdays and Fridays, following each treatment - after thirty minutes - with the ultra-violet ray. Do not take the ash save in water, or loose. Do not take it in the capsule (that is usually the carrier), but take it dry and wash down with water. This will RELEASE oxygen in the system, and will be DIRECTED TO the AREA by the use of the ultra-violet ray. 6. Do that. We are through for the present. REPORTS OF READING 4876-1 F ADULT None.

When I returned home to the East the falls became more frequent. Examinations by leading N.Y.C. doctors - in hospitals and out - listed 'obscure glandular disturbance' but although through the years I've had periods of seemingly robust health, always under any strain my knees would crumble under me. I do not faint - simply remain fully conscious, but am very weak and have difficulty in rising. After a difficult day at college - teaching - I am utterly exhausted and go to bed at six o'clock. So I am a slave to this knee-weakness, and medication is useless. Life is not easy.

First, there was in some times back a wrenching or straining in the limbs, knee and hip, and this then, with general debilitation which came on from a cold or congestion, has brought a neuritic condition, as combined with a tendency towards a reaction in the assimilating system as to cause a general weakness through the body. Especially does it affect, then, the lower limbs. 4. As we would find there should be given the hydrotherapy which would include short-wave treatments to the hips and the lower limbs. This should include the Fume Sweats to aid in stimulating eliminations, also the ultra-violet lights, or heats, which will aid in disseminating the accumulations in soft tissue around the hips, the knees, and the Diathermy, or short-wave to break up these disturbances so that, with the general elimination set up, we will eliminate the poisons in segments or sediment which disturbs the segments of the lower portion of the spine. 5. Do build up the body with the vitamins, especially the B complex with E as an addition in supplying energies in body-forces. We would have these from Reilly's. These will bring much better conditions. Have a series of from ten to twelve treatments, about twice each week. Rest a period of two to three weeks, and then have six to eight more. The body-building forces need to be supplied through foods, as well as supplementing same with B-1 Complex in capsules, see? 6. Ready for questions. 7. (Q) What causes and what should be done for the pain, off and on, in my lower right side? (A) As has been indicated. These are the effects of the disturbances in the limbs, hips, and lower portion of the spine. 8. (Q) Knee weakness? (A) All of these come from the pressures there, you see? 9. (Q) Double vision? (A) The massages will aid, as particularly all vitamins added to the body, of the E will aid in giving strength. Head and neck exercises, as well as massages, will aid in strengthening coordination in the sensory system. Do these if we would bring bettered conditions for this body. We are through with this reading. REPORTS OF READING 5407-1 F 55 R1. 8/3/49 Report requested from [5407] and from Dr. H. J. Reilly.
