Edgar Cayce Readings, 23-3

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [23]; this we have had before.
As we find, conditions are very good in most respects.
There needs be rather that as we find for the stimulating of the balance in the circulation, to purify the blood stream, increasing the appetite and the activities of the body.
We would take that compound called S.S.S. This would be taken, though, as we find, rather in this manner: Take about half a teaspoonful before the morning meal, and half a teaspoonful just before retiring. Shake the solution well and these properties will produce bettered conditions.
It will be found also helpful if the body will take one minim of Atomidine of a morning just before any meal is eaten; after, of course, the other compound has been taken... but let at least a few minutes elapse between. Take the one minim in half a glass of water, for five days, leave off for five days, take again for five days; and the second or third period of taking same should be sufficient. This is to purify the glandular forces of the system. Measure the minim with a dropper, rather than attempting to pour same.
We will find these will bring the bettered conditions for the body.
For the heaviness across the lower portion of the spine, we would rub same with Olive Oil; also the lower limbs, along the sciatic centers, rubbing especially across the heels and under the feet; so as to make for better reaction in the activities and the use of the body. This is merely for stimulating the circulation. Use pure Olive Oil, just a little in the palm of the hand, massaged across these portions and along the limbs; it will be found to be most beneficial, making for better coordination with the whole of the circulation between the superficial and the capillary and the deeper circulation.
In the matter of the diet, keep same well balanced as to an alkalin and an acid reaction. Do not combine at the same meals potatoes, white bread, spaghetti or macaroni. Do not combine any two of these in the same meal. Eat rather potatoes in the jacket and the peel rather than the pulp; the salts of these are most beneficial to the very activities of the body. Do not take cereals and citrus fruit juices on the same day. Keep a balance well with the sweets or carbohydrates and meats. These combined together for the body are the better, as with fish or fowl or lamb - that is preferable to roast or other types of meat; though, to be sure, breakfast bacon may be taken if it is prepared very crisp without much of the fat or grease in same.
These we find are the better conditions for this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What is causing swelling in right side?
(A) The glandular forces; and we have indicated that for the purifying of same, by increasing the circulation and the activity of the thyroid as well as the glandular forces through the eliminating forces of the whole system.
(Q) Any other advice for the body at this time?
(A) Keep in that of constructive thought; because, to be sure, the thoughts of the body act upon the emotions as well as the assimilating forces. Poisons are accumulated or produced by anger or by resentment or animosity. Keep sweet!
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

GD's note: A few months after her marriage (9/18/36) Mrs. [23]'s husband [1005]'s job petered out; his mother had come to live with them in order to help out financially. Her husband was suffering from an insidious skin condition [See 1005-15 through 1005-18] for which she had been constantly nursing him. All this worry and uncertainty evidently had much to do with her physical condition.
7/23/37 - Because of results obtained in [23]'s case, Mrs. [23]'s mother referred Mr. [1415] for a physical reading.
9/03/37 See 23-4, re. after effects of miscarriage.
