This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 12th day of January, 1938, in accordance with request made by the self - Miss [1517], new Associate Sponsored Membership in the Association for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., by David E. Kahn Research Fund, recommended by the friend, Mrs. Addison S. Pratt, 150 East 48th St., New York City, who attended our November meeting at The Psychical Research Society in N.Y.

Time of Reading 11:40 to 11:50 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [1517].
2. Now as we find, conditions that arise from the arthritic reaction are effects and not causes.
3. For in most all of such conditions there is a source of infection that affecting the system brings about in the lymph and the activity of the coordination of eliminations the disturbances that produce the varied forms of an arthritic disturbance.
4. These, as has been indicated in this body, have at times been helped; by the removal of the poisons from the system; but not having removed the cause or the source of the infectious forces, then this has returned more or gradually rebuilded the effects in the system.
5. As we find, the source in this particular case is from a condition in the activity of the pelvic organs when there was an injury to the coccyx end of the spine.
6. This pressure upon the system as related to the activities of the coordination between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal impulses that direct the circulation through the portions of the body brings about the disturbance.
7. These as we find may be materially aided. While it will be somewhat of a long process, we find that in consideration of the help that may be had it would be very short.
8. As we find then, these would be the manners for it:
9. First we would have corrections CHIROPRACTICALLY made in the coccyx and the lumbar, and in the lower dorsal areas - such as by Miller.
10. Then apply - that is, during the periods that the corrections are being made - the low form of electrical vibrations that HEAT the body. These would be the low form of the reverse coil, through those activities of the Sinusoidal Ray. This would only be given sufficiently long
1517-1 Page 2
to arouse the activity of the dormant associations and connections between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic system, you see. Hence the connections would be made to the lumbar and the coccyx areas AND to the lacteal duct center - very low, and only about three or four such treatments.
11. Then leave off the electrical vibrations entirely, but continue to stimulate through the corrections the activities in the areas necessary - and give internally very small quantities of Chloride of Gold AND Soda. These solutions should be made separately, and the dosage taken from same; that is:
12. The Gold Solution would be in the proportions of one grain of the Chloride of Gold to one ounce of Distilled Water.
13. The Soda Solution would be in the proportion of three grains of the Bicarbonate of Soda to an ounce of Distilled Water.
14. Then, once each day, preferably in the evening, the dosage would be two drops of the Soda Solution and one drop of the Gold Solution in half a glass of water - taken immediately when the two solutions are put into the water.
15. Continue taking in this manner for a period of three weeks, then leave off for a period of three weeks.
16. During the period that the properties are left off, give the low form of electrical vibration in the Wet Cell Appliance CARRYING Gold - or the vibration from the solution of Gold in the proportion of two grains Chloride of Gold to six OUNCES of Distilled Water. This is a very weak solution, but if it is carried vibratorially in this manner it will be sufficient in the beginning. At the next period the quantity given vibratorially in this manner would be increased.
17. The attachments of the Appliance would be made as follows: The small copper plate would be attached first, to the lumbar plexus - 4th lumbar; while the larger nickel plate would be attached last (this carrying the Gold Solution, you see), to the umbilicus and lacteal duct plexus.
18. Attach the Appliance in the above manner each day for thirty minutes, for the three weeks.
19. Then commence at the beginning of the entire treatments outlined and repeat the whole procedure; but at the next round of the Appliance increasing the quantity of the Gold Solution as indicated.
20. Throughout the entire periods keep up the manipulations in the coccyx area, the lumbar, the 9th dorsal; and of course coordinating the upper dorsal and cervical area with
1517-1 Page 3
the rest of the system.
21. Be mindful of the diets.
22. Keep well the eliminations by diets as well as by the general respiratory reaction.
23. Do these and as we find we may bring a much nearer normal condition for this body of [1517].
24. Ready for questions.
25. (Q) About when was the injury to the coccyx and in what manner? (A) This was an injury in some times past. This was some years even before the first - This was, as we find, in eighteen or nineteen ('18 or '19).
26. (Q) After I recovered to such an extent, what did I do to cause a relapse? (A) As indicated, the poisons from the condition were relieved but the CAUSES were NOT relieved; hence gradually grew back again. Do these things as we find, keeping the attitude of a prayerful meditative mind throughout. Be consistent, be persistent.
