Edgar Cayce Readings, 369-5

(Physical Suggestions)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had before. Many changes, mental and physical, have taken place with this body since last we had same.
Those conditions as are effective in the physical forces, as related from the activities of the high vibrations in the nerve forces, have been active. These have called for, and have caused a return of conditions as have BEEN seen, and active - but in a DIFFERENT portion of the system ENTIRELY do they show their EFFECT and their tendencies. Hence the tissue in the respiratory system, as related between (We are speaking [of the] purely physical) that assimilated and the character of that produced by the blood's entry into the circulation, has NOT ALWAYS, and DOES not ALWAYS, wholly coordinate. This is a wonderful study - in the condition, and at the case - of tuberculosis - in the beginning of cellular forces. [Incipient Tuberculosis] [Miss [369]'s mother had died of tuberculosis when [369] was 16 yrs. old, after a lingering illness.] In the separation of that which becomes active, as the bacilli, or as those cell units that may be active in certain portions of the system - ESPECIALLY so in the soft tissue of the lung itself, show how that activity in its incipiency, as here, may be wholly ERADICATED from the system, WILL [if the proper precautions will] in the manner of the physical and mental activity be taken, and the proper treatments applied to same, so that it may be turned into CONSTRUCTIVE, even - rather than as DESTRUCTIVE agencies in the system. Quite a revolution!
In the activities produced - we find the low pressure, the low temperature at PERIODS of the day, and the tendency of an over activity, with a dullness that takes on almost lethargy for the PHYSICAL body, and the mental activities of the system become super-active - and ESPECIALLY does the reproductive generation OF the system become super-active under such conditions. Why? It is the beginning of that of life itself IN its relation to a physical organism, see? Relation of the physical organism.
Then, in this particular body at the present time, particular precaution should be taken as to the proper correlation between the activity of the liver and the kidneys in THEIR relation one to another; NEITHER becoming over active, neither becoming dependent upon the other for their part in the eliminations from system, not from that as is seen in liver in its excretions for the good OF the building OF the cellular forces IN the system itself; for the liver being divided in many lobes, many portions of same functioning almost in the same ratio as various portions of the brain affect the mental system and the activities of the MOTOR system of the whole body; for, as an indentation in certain portions or certain centers in the brain itself hinders locomotion in certain portions of the system, so does that activity in certain portions of the lobes of the liver itself supply, or LACK in supplying, that necessary in the element OF the creation of the forces THROUGH the blood's activity. Rebuild those cellular forces IN the body itself, as to bring RESUSCITATION to the system. Longevity may be generated from this very source as has been given, this very activity as is seen in this body at the present time may be turned into CONSTRUCTIVE rather than destructive, BY the precautions taken in the proper way and manner. Watch, then, that these are kept active - the liver and the kidneys, for they act to the system, in their blood action as the positive and the negative poles of each CELLULAR UNIT CREATED IN the BLOOD STREAM ITSELF! and from the BLOOD ALL PORTIONS of the body must take that NECESSARY to produce the life IN physical organs, or PHYSICAL beings themselves. Whether this be plant life, the muscular, or the activity of the cell, or the animal, or of the human body - all take from that as assimilated, in the same way and manner.
Then, in this particular body at present, we would begin first with that of the activity of the liver and the kidneys and their coordination. We would not use such stimuli internally as to INCREASE the activities of ANY organism, OTHER THAN that related to the liver AND the kidneys. These may be BEST done by manipulations, osteopathically applied, WITH those vibrations as may be had from the use of the Radium Appliance, or either those of the Radio-ACTIVE appliance - but from the wet cell themselves - the ordinary - for these supplied to the solar plexus center, which RAISES for the system the energies to the whole of the body in its distribution, in bringing consciousness to activities of the forces in generative system itself, will aid in bringing this about. Then, the wet battery - or the Radio-ACTIVE wet battery (for in the plain), and this should be given at least once each week for FIFTY minutes; not LONGER - may be somewhat less, but fifty minutes at least; attaching same - that is, the first one attached, or first anode - first plate attached - to the wrist, and the NICKEL attached to the 9th dorsal center. When the next attachment is made of same, attach to the ANKLE, and the nickel afterward to the umbilicus - to the UPPER and to the right portion of same. When attached to the wrist in the next, attach to the 9th dorsal. When attached to the ankle, in the next, on the opposite side of the body, back to the umbilicus - but move from the right or the left SIDE OF the umbilicus, dependent upon which side of body it's attached. What's the activity, is asked, for this? In the activity from those centers as come to all portions of the system from the umbilicus plexus, as in generation itself, MOVES - in ITS vibration - through that same functioning that the LIVER gives TO the body when it becomes separate in itself. These are JUST awakened.
The REST as is given - in manipulation - is to PRODUCE the FULL assimilation.
In food values, be mindful - for these should be BUILDING; BLOOD building, nerve building, in their very essence - and the body should NOT, ESPECIALLY, expose itself much to night air - THIS will be destructive to that attempting to be accomplished.
REST as much as possible. Riding, walking, or such, the best exercise. Ready for questions.
(Q) What caused the condition with the eyes and is there anything that can be done to remedy same? [6/09/31 - 6/12/31 She was in The Presbyterian Hospital, 168th St. & B'way, N.Y.C. for surgery in connection with the cast in her eyes.] [Dr. Dunnington] [See 369-8, Par. 3-A in re eyes on 9/03/31.]
(A) This of long standing. The general building up of the system will asist same in being rectified. When it becomes more centralized, or localized, we may give specifics in this direction. There is much to be considered in the GENERAL condition at present. This is warning! It isn't active [the T.B.] - but at that stage where it may BECOME active. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

See 369-2 on 10/24/27 which gave further corrective measures for overcoming hyperchlorhydria, incipient peptic ulcer and cirrhosis
See 369-4 on 9/19/28 in re unhappy love affair and subsequent reports in re mental-emotional turmoil, out of wedlock sexual relationship, fear of pregnancy, etc.
4/02/30 She phoned GD that she was too sick to come for the rdg., was going to bed, had strange feelings through the pelvic organs. If opportunity presented itself she would like to ask about her eyes, the condition she had forgotten to ask in previous rdgs., about a weakness, fluttering at times, a slight cast apparent at times.

REPORTS

4/04/30 She indicated she had started the treatments, with Dr. L. A. Lydic [D.O.].
5/26/30 See Ck. Physical 369-6 for quinsy and bronchitis.
6/22/30 She wrote from Norfolk Protestant Hospital, Norfolk, Va., where she was recuperating from minor surgery of some kind.
7/22/30 She wrote from Vermont that she was going to camp for the month of August: "Feel so well physically. Have gained some more. Weigh 128 now."
7/28/30 "Weigh 132 now. Just think - from 120 to 132. I can hardly believe it." [She had always been very thin and had thought she would never be able to put on any weight. See 369-13 Reports 10/20/35 about weighing 146 and trying to reduce!] [After one week-end at camp she wrote that camp life was not for her, that she had gone to N.H.]
8/20/30 She wrote that she was sick with indigestion, diarrhea, etc., from indulging in rich candies, etc., having lost 6-7 lbs.
2/21/31 See Ck. Life 369-7 giving helpful advice in re her health, advising a beef, iron and wine tonic.
9/03/31 See Ck. Physical 369-8 for ulcers of the mouth.
See 369-14 on 6/16/36 advising that the tubercle activity has now concentrated in the glands, causing tendency for ossification in pelvic organs and amenorrhea.
