Edgar Cayce Readings, 337-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, Mrs. [337]. Now, we find there are abnormal conditions with this body. While these have not assumed conditions such as to be of great distress, save at times, without the proper correction of same these are in the position or condition to assume alarming conditions later on, or as the condition develops and assumes more of troublesome effects. These conditions, as we find, are brought about by the unequalized condition of those properties necessary to keep the normal or nominal balance as exists between that of iodine and potash in the system, and with the like [lack of iodine?] of this in the system there assumes then - with the continued increasing of the potash or potassium - those of the effects that hinder those portions of the system in their proper functioning in the body, and there begins to be the sensation in system of the refuses in the system taking form, or acting through glands in the body as to form their portions in the body.
Hence the tendency toward a fullness in the circulation, especially as toward the head - the conditions as come about in the throat, the glands about the throat, the fullness as appears about the eyes, the strain as is seen in the body - especially soon after arousing from slumber or sleep.
Tendency to find the digestion spasmodic in its action, and the general system - especially the nervous system - becoming overtaxed, overwrought, with spells of bordering on melancholia, and again of exercising self to that of overactivity toward the other directions. These are but the results of the conditions as are taking place in the system.
The cause of these, as we find - the system simply becoming overbalanced in one direction by the taking of food, or water, or those properties that create the unbalanced condition in the glands first that separate the chyle, or the new blood supply in the system, see? Hence we will find in the 4th and 5th dorsal a tenderness as directed directly to those portions of the lower part of diaphragm, to the right side, that show PRESSURE also being created between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system. Not so much headache, except when those conditions as come about from the digestive system.
These, then, are the conditions to be warned of as respecting, as we find, with this body, Mrs. [337] we are speaking of.
Now, to meet the needs of the conditions at the present time, we would first begin by adding those properties to the system as will counterbalance or bring about a more normal condition in this respect. These can best be taken into the system through the creation of vibrations for the body as will meet with the vibratory forces as are radial from the central nervous system, with the properties in solution in such a manner as that the radiation will carry same into the system. These, we would find, would be found in that of the Radio-Active Appliance, with that radial carrying the iodine.
Also by the foods being directed in such a way and manner as to add stimuli to the system to increase the amount as is absorbed in system through the digestive tract - but be careful in this that the digestion is not upset.
First, then, well that the system be cleansed by taking for three to five days good big doses of Olive Oil, all that the system will absorb without becoming rancid in the stomach - beginning with teaspoonful and increasing dosage a teaspoonful each time it is taken until there are signs of the condition being too much for the body, taking it at least three times each day - preferably before meals, so that the saliva - the conditions in the system - are well active with the oil - the pure Olive Oil.
THEN we may begin with foods that carry the iodine, as much as can be assimilated. Spinach, those of the lentils, of crayfish or the mollusk family - all of these will give better conditions for the body.
Well that the Olive Oil be kept up occasionally, though following the taking of the diet.
Vibrations from the Radio-Active Appliance should be given at least one hour each evening as the body lies down to rest. The anode that carries the active forces from the iodine should be attached to the umbilicus, just above and to the right. The positive should be attached to the wrist and alternated every OTHER day to the ankle.
Well, also, that the osteopathic massage be given at least twice each week to bring about the proper tension throughout the cerebrospinal nerve system. As the system absorbs and responds to the applications, this will aid materially in the proper distribution of forces for the upbuilding of the body; also in aiding the system to eliminate used or refuse forces from the system.
Well, too, after this has been kept up for twenty to twenty-eight days, that occasionally the Violet Ray (hand machine) be used over the face, the neck, the arms, the shoulders, and to the middle portion of the spine.
Do that, and we will find we will bring about the near normal forces for this body, Mrs. [337].
Be not unmindful of the condition as created in the throat, by the fullness and the phlegm that occasionally arises. This is only necessary to be kept cleansed by any ALKALIN gargle that assists in throwing off the refuses the system is attempting to eliminate.
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

12/04/28 Husband [5417]'s letter: "I have heard of the unusual things which you have done and the unusual service that you have rendered a number of your friends, and I am taking the liberty of writing you today to ask you to give a complete mental and physical diagnosis for my wife... I am applying for membership to your organization and am attaching check hereto for same [via friend, Mr. [257]]... Especially ask these questions: What will stop the unusual conditions in the throat? Are the organs themselves functioning normally? What exercise can the body take? What diet if any should the body have? What is the best climate body to live in?"

REPORTS

8/17/29 Mr. [257]'s ltr.: "Mr. [5417] and Mrs. [337] are planning on coming to the Cayce Hospital on Sun. or Mon... I am very anxious to have Mrs. [337] get another rdg. and be treated at the hospital."
8/19/29 Memo to Mr. [257] from Mr. [5417]'s office: "Mrs. [337] advises that the doctor she spoke to you about is Dr. Kugelmass [M.D.], located at 17th St. and 5th Ave."
8/26/29 She was present for 337-2, especially for eczema, which she said she had had for six months. The only previous treatment she had tried was diet for the eczema, [via a dermatologist?] which did not seem to help. She had come to the Cayce Hospital to start in earnest trying to follow the Edgar Cayce regime for getting rid of her troubles.
