Edgar Cayce Readings, 303-16

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [303]; this we have had before.
There are changes in the general physical forces since last we had same; not all are for the betterment. The acute conditions arise from the strain, and the slipping of the segment in the cerebrospinal system; that causes not only uneasiness but will cause deflection of the system in such a way as to give a great deal of trouble unless corrected.
This we would have corrected OSTEOPATHICALLY. This wouldn't require more than one or two treatments for its correction in the upper dorsal and those alignments with same in the cervical area.
Then after this, of an evening, rest for an hour - this means get off the feet, LIE DOWN, for an hour each evening, and apply along the spine and over the frontal portion or frontal bone of the chest or the sternum heavy salt dampened with pure apple vinegar. Make this rather thick, see, and not so wet that it becomes runny but damp sufficient that the body is absorbing the chloride from same, the effects of the activity to produce to the cartilaginous forces the taking away of inflammation, supplying the inclination for the body to increase in the local places sufficient to overcome these strains in the muscles and tissue of the body in the area.
These we would do for at least ten days.
Two corrections should be sufficient. If it is necessary, or the pain continues, then the third or fourth may be taken. These about every other day is best for the body.
In the other general conditions - we would keep much of those things CONSISTENTLY as we have indicated for the general welfare of the body; the attitudes as well as the physical applications, and the DIET especially!
Ready for questions.
(Q) What is the condition of the chest bone?
(A) As indicated, it isn't so much the chest bone (except the strain) as it is a segment in the upper dorsal area.
(Q) Is the blood in suitable condition to have the knot under the right leg removed by physician?
(A) It would be very well. And if the proper precautions are taken in same, it would not be a great deal of distress.
(Q) What causes pains in knot on the right side of spine?
(A) The use of those applications that have been indicated for the softening of same - equal portions Mutton Suet, Spirits of Turpentine, Spirits of Camphor; or to an ounce of each used, then add twenty minims of Compound Tincture of Benzoin. This does not mix well unless shaken together, which it would be before the area is massaged with same.
This arises from the general drawing in the system.
(Q) What causes irritation in my ears, roaring in head?
(A) Poor circulation.
The manipulations and adjustments will assist this considerably, as well as the applications of those things indicated for the local condition.
(Q) What causes odor in urine?
(A) The eliminations through this portion of the system of the excess acidity. Alkalize the system with very small doses of Eno Salt; not as an activity on the system but as an alkalizer - this is preferable to some others that are recommended. Or, take soda in very small quantities.
(Q) What causes severe pains in back of neck and behind my ears?
(A) The pressures in the bodily forces. The corrections should make for a great deal of change in this direction.
(Q) The heavy feeling over my eyes, soreness in eyeball and around eyes?
(A) Poor circulation. The vibrations [electrically driven vibrator] if they were kept up as has been indicated that they should be used for the body would have overcome this. It HASN'T BEEN DONE!
We are through for the present.
