Edgar Cayce Readings, 202-7

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [202] - this we have had before. Changes in the physical forces of the body since last we had same. These changes MATERIALLY have to do with the pressure in the blood, the heart's action. While in many respects the physical conditions are bettered, there are some distresses that only come occasionally that - if the body will be mindful OF these - may be eliminated. These have to do with the eliminations, especially as related to the BALANCE between the hepatic circulation - that is, the eliminations as related to the liver and the kidneys; for with the effect of an UNBALANCED condition here, these may raise for the mental forces distresses that will bring for the imaginative system MOST ANYTHING! In their repression, those come to the head through the hypogastric and pneumogastric - through the engorgement as comes to the LIVER; also the change in the pressure as produced in the kidneys.
Not that this in itself is either a taint of that as may be called Bright's Diseases, or that of the pressure as comes from the inactive forces of the pancreas itself [diabetes mellitus?], but UREMIA may produce EITHER.
But dismiss such from the mind and so live, so act, as to KEEP these balanced in the system! These principally would be with the diet, as has been outlined. Not meats, especially of the heavier nature; though they may be taken in moderation occasionally, but especially during the hot periods - or during those periods when the distresses are changed into a fuller capillary circulation, by the temperature or the pressure as comes through atmospheric changes, well that most should be of those of fruits, cereals, and vegetables - as MUCH of the vegetables that can be taken be of the GREEN variety. Not too much of those that are heavy, nor too much of starch.
The exercise should be as much in the open as may be had, especially of that on the golf, or on watching games, or in walking, riding, rowing, swimming, and such. Not OVERTAXING, no - but sufficient that the system be kept a normal balance.
We would only take medicinal properties that would be of an ALKALIN reacting nature. Either those of the phosphates, that would come at times, or of those of sodas. These in the MILD form. That is, do not become addicted, so that every morning "I've got to take a dose of soda", or every day I've got to do this, that or the other! Make SELF be the activities of self, the boss of conditions.
The manipulations should be for the adjustments of those conditions, as HAS been given as existent in the system, as related to that correlation between the dorsal and the cervical regions. These will keep the balance in the body. Ready for questions.
(Q) Is it necessary for the body to take the Radio-Active battery treatment?
(A) The Radio-Active battery would be good for EVERYBODY! and would be especially good for this body. This assists in keeping an EQUILIBRIUM. Not that it is a curative, but it is CERTAINLY a PREVENTATIVE!
(Q) How often should osteopathic treatments be given?
(A) Every other day, or if necessary - when it's TIRED - not too DEEP, but GENTLE massage may be given EACH DAY, but this may be as easily over done as under done.
That is all the questions regarding this body.
We are through with this reading.
