Edgar Cayce Readings, 265-14

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, as we find, the conditions are somewhat improved. While there is still a great deal of weakness and pain in head and throat, when there is the paroxysm of cough produced by the inflammation in the larynx and bronchi, the conditions - as we find - are gradually being relieved. And unless there is some cold or congestion arising from indiscretion, or from allowing poisons or congestion to accumulate from non-eliminations through the alimentary canal and complications arise, the conditions will gradually better.
We would change somewhat the applications being used in the present. As we find, it would be well to continue with the syrup and the compounds in same. It is not necessary for the Syrup of Squill unless there is the nausea or paroxysm of coughing.
Then, rather than the stimuli in wine, we would use apple brandy or gin - these would be much preferable. Do not put these together, but rather they may be taken at different times in small sips.
The diet we would follow rather as outlined; easily assimilated foods but strengthening to the whole vitality of the system. The beef juices and the junket, or vegetable soups or the like. The concentrated vegetable soups are well also to alter with the beef juices, as would be small quantities of fruits of any kind that the body may desire or take. No large quantities or no fats of any amount should be taken, but if these are kept in the manner as outlined - remembering to keep the circulation by the massage and heating of the feet, a little rubbing or massaging along the spine, especially in the areas above the diaphragm will also be well.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What would relieve, at the time, the hard spells of breathing or smothery spells?
(A) Very small quantities of the Calcidin, taken every five to ten minutes, but these we would not give with the other properties - save at the paroxysms of coughing. This is preferable, of course, to be dissolved and given warm, see?
(Q) What will relieve, at the time, the intense pain in the head?
(A) The same. Keep as far away as possible from the necessity of using narcotics, but if it becomes necessary - of course, these may be resorted to, but keep away from them as much as possible.
(Q) The Al-Caroid and Bile Salts will be the best for the alimentary canal?
(A) As given.
(Q) Any other advice?
(A) Do these, as we find. Be very careful about exposure, or too great attempt to exercise - as the body is up, or gets up - or too great amount of ANY activity to over-excite the body.
We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

6/07/33 EC gave her 275-11 for hypertensive cardiovascular disease; 1/04/34 he gave her emergency rdg. 265-12 for bronchitis, and 265-13 on 1/06/34.
1/11/34 Daughter submitted questions.

REPORTS

1/12/34 Daughter's letter: "On Friday, the 5th, after we got the information wired from 265-12, she began to rest easier. On the 8th she was getting along better than could be expected under the circumstances, as we had thought she could not live through the day when we wired you. She responded beautifully to the suggestions made in the readings [265-12 & 265-13], and was very desirous of sitting up. A deep cold and the after-effects of flu is what the doctors said was the trouble; her throat and lungs - not pneumonia, but possibly worse - as they called it. She has fallen off so that you would hardly recognize her. I don't suspect she weighs more than 140 or 150 pounds - you remember how heavy she was before. It is hard to believe that she is as thin as she is. But the doctors now consider her out of immediate danger, saying she should get along very well now unless something else arises."
4/05/34 EC gave emergency Ck. Physical 265-15.
