Edgar Cayce Readings, 306-3

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [306]; this we have had before.
Now, as we find, there are changes in the general physical forces of this body, [306], since last we had same here.
Conditions in many respects show rather a returning towards the distresses that have been indicated in the general physical force. While at times they are not so severe as they have been, yet there are tendencies for the creation of gases such as to produce or form dilations in the region of the transverse and descending colon; such as to cause pains or quick pulsations, even around the heart, though there is no organic heart disturbance.
Also there are those tendencies in the areas indicated in the cerebro-spinal system, from an old injury, where there are subluxations - or pressures were created in the cerebro- spinal system and later other injuries were received that only accentuated the distresses.
With the poisons that necessarily accumulate from the formation of gases and toxic forces being produced, there is a return of the distress.
The muscular forces of the cerebro-spinal system have been helped, so long as there has been used the vibrations that make for a relaxation.
Then, as we find under the existent conditions, we would add these to the general applications for the improvement and for the eradication and correction of those conditions that disturb the better physical functioning of the body, [306] we are speaking of; for these would bring a much better reaction:
First we would be very mindful of the diet, in that there would not be those things taken that tend to produce acids in the system; while it is true that too great an alkalinity is more severe, more straining on a system, than a tendency towards acidity - and more alkalins kept in body. This would be well to be remembered by all:
Few germ formations, or none, that injure or cause distress in the form of neurotic, neuritis or arthritic conditions, or any form of skin eruption, may come when a system is tended toward alkalinity!
Acids make for a fermentation, as may be seen from yeast, fruit fermentation, or the like.
Then, we would outline this as a diet; in the present:
Mornings - citrus fruits or cereals, but not both at the same meal. Fresh fruits or stewed fruits, any of these may be taken - but not both at once, see?
A little very crisp bacon - not burned, but crisp - may be taken occasionally.
Coddled eggs, or prepared in any manner just so they are not fried in grease. Scrambled in butter would be very well, but the more often it would be better for them to be taken without the white; that is, only using the yolk.
Whole wheat toast. Not too great an amount of butter, but a small amount now may be taken.
Ovaltine or any cereal drink; a little coffee occasionally, but use brown sugar or honey for the sweetening - and do not sweeten too much.
Noons - as near as possible, keep to brown whole wheat bread, or Graham bread, or toasted rye bread, with whole green vegetables; or vegetable and egg sandwiches may be taken, see? These would consist of such as lettuce, celery, tomatoes (with mayonnaise), tomato juice, or the like.
Do not combine tomato juice with any citrus fruit juices, for they work toward a combination of proteins and elements that work against one another.
Evenings - whole vegetables, well cooked, with little meats; occasionally fowl, lamb and fish may be taken - and may be found to work well, if not too much of these is taken.
Just eat sufficient to supply the appetite, but don't overload the stomach.
Should there be felt a heaviness about an hour or three-quarters of an hour after a meal, a fullness or a bloating, take a level teaspoonful of BiSoDol in a glass of water, drinking an extra glass of water afterwards.
We would continue with the vibrations of the electrically driven vibrator.
After giving the vibrator treatment, we would massage - into those portions that show pains (as in the upper dorsal area, and around shoulders and the lower portion of the cervical area) - equal parts of tincture of myrrh, olive oil and sassafras oil. Heat the olive oil and add the myrrh, stirring well together; then, while still a little warm, add the oil of sassafras. This will produce a glow, and will tend - when very warm at times - to irritate for a day or two, but will disappear provided no more will be massaged into the system than will be absorbed thoroughly.
Following these, as we find, we will bring the better conditions, the nearer normal conditions, for this body.
We would take the battery treatment as outlined, for this creates the proper vibrations. Be sure that the connections are intact, that the battery or casement is in the ice for ten to fifteen minutes before being applied to body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Give details of accident to my back. Who was with me, how many years ago did it happen?
(A) It happened many years ago, the first injury - which had something to do with a wagon. Later there was a scuffle, or an injury by wrenching the body in some manner.
(Q) Is my heart of normal size and condition?
(A) As we have given, there is no organic - heart disorder. There has always been a tendency, from the nature of the lesions, to dilate the heart's action, or heart's expansion.
Hence the characterization of the blood pressure, as it changes materially; but with these corrections, with the equalization, there should never be formed any disorder - or uneasiness on the part of the body - regarding heart trouble; because it isn't there! The condition is wholly reflex.
(Q) What is my present blood pressure?
(A) 146.
(Q) What causes continued dizziness, fullness in back of head, and tension in back of neck?
(A) The unequalized circulation, that has been often indicated, that is produced by the change in the circulation - as we have indicated. Produced by the pressures in the cerebro-spinal system, accentuated by formations of gas in the intestinal system. As indicated, we have given that which will remove these causes.
(Q) When lying on either side, I notice pulse in neck being very strong. Is this a normal condition?
(A) It will be found in anyone, especially those where the upper circulation is so much stronger - or necessary to be strong, through repression - than that to the lower portion of the body.
These have been covered!
(Q) What causes pain in under side of left arm, wrist, joint and ankle joints?
(A) Poor circulation to the extremities of the body, through pressures in the area adjoining the brachial plexus, and reflex to the lumbar plexus; and becomes accentuated by the pressure produced in colon area, that makes reflex actions to all of these tendencies. Hence REDUCING the pressure!
It's not even the character of rheumatic or arthritic conditions, for they are the result of lack of circulation to the extremities - rather than the poisons settling, see? for it will be found that, though these may hurt or pain, if they are moved up or down, like raising the feet up high, or walking on feet, changing the position of the hands and arms, enough to move the locomotaries, these pains will pass away after a little - though will recur again when settled, after a period.
(Q) Are my teeth infected?
(A) Be well that some of these be taken care of.
(Q) What part of my previous instructions have I failed to carry out?
(A) As indicated from the diet, as indicated from portions or times when battery activity was not in accord or producing the proper vibrations, and the added forces to stimulate the circulation - see?
(Q) When can I look for a change?
(A) In ten days, if you'll do these things!
(Q) For how long a time will I have to keep up the head and neck exercise before my ears will cease to ring?
(A) Keeping up the head and neck exercises, with the vibrations and the added stimuli to the circulation, in the oil and things, there should begin a clearing in ten days.
(Q) What causes the corners of the mouth to be sore for long periods?
(A) Acid!
(Q) What quantity of the oil and myrrh and sassafras should be used each time?
(A) About a teaspoonful.
(Q) Of each?
(A) It's given, equal parts!
(Q) How often?
(A) Every evening when the body has been suffering from those pains that at times cause distress in the shoulder and in the back.
(Q) Should it be applied while warm?
(A) Not while warm, but just sufficient so that the body temperature and the temperature of the solution is not too greatly different. You wouldn't use the solution hot when the body is cold, nor you wouldn't use the solution cold when the body is hot! About the same temperature of the body. And this should be applied immediately after the vibrator treatments, so that it may strike deeper in as the circulation is drawn to those portions at the time of the vibratory treatment.
(Q) Have the vibratory treatments been given in the correct manner?
(A) These have been very good, when given; they haven't been consistently given at all times, but they've been very good - they've been helpful.
(Q) For how long should the oils be massaged in?
(A) Just what will be absorbed, as intimated and given. Pour the small quantity in a saucer. It will be necessary to keep it stirred, for - remember - the sassafras oil will rise to the top, unless kept stirred, and will make a glow, especially when the body gets hot - so you'd better keep it mixed!
(Q) Any other advice at this time?
(A) This is a lot of advice! If you'll do this, it'll be good!

8/01/35 GD's note: I saw him on the street today; says he is feeling rotten; doctors tell him if he doesn't get better they will take out his gall bladder. I suggested he get a ck. rdg. He said "I guess I just don't have enough faith to follow through." He lived in poor health until his death 12/27/59.
