Edgar Cayce Readings, 333-9

(GD failed to get the change in address for appointment, so the home address was presented by GC instead of the Navy Bldg. [Bureau of Yards & Docks, Washington, D.C.] where he was at work. We didn't understand until EC awakened, that another address had been given by Mr. [333].)

TEXT

EC: Yes - we do not find the body here, but we have those impressions, [333]; these we have had before.
As we find in the present, toxic forces - which arise from accumulations of poisons from the lack of proper eliminations - cause a disturbance through the circulatory forces as related to the heart's activity, the liver, and especially the balancing as it were between the normal equilibriums of the body.
Thus the dizziness, the inclination for the bad color, the flush conditions which appear at times; the cold sensations and at other times the flush; the easily tiring, the loss of vitality, the loss of the optimism. All of these arise from such toxic forces in the system.
As we find, there should be a thorough cleansing of the system. This we find would best be accomplished with the use of the fruit salts, - that is, the Eno Salt. In the beginning we would take about a teaspoonful three times each day, before the meals. After this has been begun, and there are better eliminations, it may be gradually reduced to once or twice a day.
Also there should be a closer adherence to the diet that was indicated for the body in the earlier periods - when there were the cleansing foods and forces to be taken for the system.
And a manipulation osteopathically given, once a week until four or five are taken, would be most beneficial for the body.
As to the mental attitude - this has much to do with the general system. We would adhere to suggestions that have been made to read - not as rote, not as mere reading but realizing, experiencing - the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th of John as being to the SELF! These will aid in better conditions for the body.
As we find, so far as the hernia is concerned, - this had best be fitted by the one who may make proper adjustments. The Brooks type would be the preferable, but this should be fitted if it would aid in retaining the disturbances which arise from same.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What is best to do that there may be strength given to work?
(A) As indicated, relieve the toxic forces so that that which is eaten may be the better assimilated; and use the diets that have been formerly indicated.
Do these and as we find we will bring the better influences and forces about the body.
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

See 333-7 on 10/17/36 for abdominal hernia.
10/04/38 "I don't know what is wrong with me. Having dizzy spells quite often and tired most of the time."
10/23/38 "The truss which I have been wearing for two years has been a help, but it has created what looks to be a permanent ridge just below the hips which we thought might have interfered with the circulation and perhaps is the cause of the dizzy spells. I enclose two advertisements of appliance we thought might be better to use. Could you ask about them in the rdg.?"
10/31/38 "My major anxiety is that something may happen to keep me from carrying on. Then I am bothered a great deal by lack of confidence in myself and others and suspicions of everyone. I feel no security in things material or spiritual. In fact spiritually I seem to be absolutely numb. I can no longer read or study anything connected with your work or along similar lines without becoming upset and terribly confused."

REPORTS

11/07/38 "I am at a loss to express in words my gratitude for this rdg. and the many helpful things you have done for us all. I shall do my best to follow everything the rdg. covers, but it is doubly hard because I feel so helpless. I think, however, that I am gradually coming back to nearer normal than I was months ago and if I can keep going and not let fear enter in, I may carry on. I was in such shape a couple of weeks ago that when I tried to get out of bed in the morning, or move quickly during the day, I would lose all power to accomplish it and I was afraid of apoplexy."
1/19/39 "I have been following to the letter the information given in my last check physical including the taking of the Osteopathic treatments which have been given by Dr. Lulu Irene Waters here in Washington. She is both a wonderful doctor and a wonderful woman. She has helped me greatly. When I went to her and she had given me a thorough examination she said that she wondered I could carry on at all. I responded quickly and although not up to par I can at least carry on provided I do not over-do."
8/06/39 He requested 602-6 for his wife.
2/13/40 "We have all been sick recently with the 'flu.' I guess I was the worst case. I was in bed for a week and home ten days. I seem to be gaining fast and feel the Atomidine which I am taking is responsible. I hope it continues, for I have had a cough for over a year."
