Edgar Cayce Readings, 391-5

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [391]; this we have had before.
Now, as we find, in general the conditions are very good. There are still some reflex conditions arising from time to time, from the strains that have existed in the cerebro-spinal system. These are GRADUALLY - when the exercises and the treatments are taken being eliminated; but these will continue to produce - until they ARE eliminated - the disturbance in the caecum area, as well as cause those returning conditions of the digestive system being out of order, as well as making it easy for the body to contract cold. For, as indicated, the liver becomes involved, as does the blood supply, making for the poor eliminations in the circulation.
There should be kept more of an excess of eliminations through the alimentary canal.
These strains also to the genitive system, that have made for the distress or for those fearful reactions for the body, are in the main produced from those same strains in the cerebrospinal system.
We would find that, with the sweats and massage, and with keeping the eliminations in a better condition, the greater part of this may be eliminated entirely.
Such massage may be from the thorough Swedish massage, or that known as the ordinary rubdown in Turkish Bath, or that given by the neuropath or osteopath. These would be the better for the body.
To INSURE that there is not the concurrence or the strain producing any STRICTURE [stricture of the ureter or Hunner's stricture?] in the organs OF the genitive system, we would use those injections of the Lysol - one to three. This will prevent any of the tissue being involved in such a manner as for coagulation to take place and produce stricture, from a strain.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What eliminants are best now for alimentary canal?
(A) These have been outlined for the body. Any that will make the bowels move!
(Q) Any other advice for this body at this time?
(A) These had better be done, else we will continue to have trouble with the back, the heart, the digestive system, and the feet. We would follow these suggestions.
We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

See 391-4 on 11/25/32.
1/21/33 "Just as I get to feeling good again I have a slight suspicion that I have a venereal disease [gonorrhea?] and I'm not doing just a little worrying about it. The part I can't understand is where and how I caught it, if I have, but anyway I wish you would give a rdg. & find out. You can readily understand how important it is that I get it at once. I know I owe you some payments on my other rdgs. but I'll make all of them good as soon as I get up there... For some reason I don't have any faith in regular physicians any more & I want your advice through your rdgs. Wire me collect & I'll wire back at once where I'll be."

REPORTS

1/29/33 "Thanks so much for the rdg. I had already ceased to be very suspicious that I had any such trouble, a day or so before I rec'd the rdg. It really had me worried for a while. I am feeling much better as a whole, I think. With the exception of a cold I am all right. Some times I have a little trouble with my feet, but not near as bad as they used to be, and I believe they will finally get completely well ... I wonder if it meant by taking laxatives that I should take the same things I've been taking or take some more besides. I think I'll do that. It can't hurt me I don't suppose."
2/03/33 EC's letter: "I'm certainly glad you are feeling somewhat better. If you will follow out those suggestions given in the last, I believe you will get rid of that tendency to continually take cold; but it's going to require that you take several real good rubdowns, or possibly the best thing would be the Turkish bath and the massage that comes with it. Of course, you don't want to take too much laxatives, but sufficient to keep your system cleansed while the poisons are already stirred up in your system; otherwise they might settle back anywhere, wherever there is a strain or a weak spot. Like water will run to the lowest place, the poisons in your system will settle in the weakest spot. That's why you have to take advantage of the situation at present.
We are looking forward to seeing you in the near future.
With all good wishes, I am" Ever the same, [EC:GD]
8/16/33 He obtained Business Rdg. 391-6.
8/18/33 He referred Mrs. [394] for the first in a series of Phys. Rdgs.
9/14/33 He referred Mr. [408] for a combination health and business rdg.
10/08/33 Mr. [391] reported that he was repeating the liver medicine given for him in 391-4, as he felt he needed it.
12/30/33 He referred Mr. [521] for a Phys. Rdg.
2/14/34 See 391-7 in re health, mental-material affairs.
4/12/34 He referred Mrs. [532] for a Phys. Rdg.
Letter to EC in D.C.:
4/14/35 "I hate to bother you because I know you must be pretty busy, but this might be very important to me. I don't know whether there's any cause to be alarmed or not, but I want to be sure. I want to get a reading to find out whether I have any sign of a venereal disease or not. It might be merely a strain but I can't afford to wait and find out. [934] and I are back together to stay now and that is all the more reason why I should be positive about it. It is the same as it was before when I got a rdg. a few yrs. ago, a leaking at the head of the penis. Please let me know as soon as possibly because that is a mighty good way to wreck a couple of lives if there is anything wrong and there isn't anything done for a while."
4/17/35 See 391-9 indicating a return of the conditions about which he had been warned in 391-5, due to indiscretions, "not only in the STRAINING of the body but in the bringing about of the recurrent reactions that make for distresses in the activities and the discharges..." He was told to repeat the precautions, injections, same applications as suggested in 391-5. We referred him to Dr. M. L. Richardson, D.O. [He had not secured the Swedish baths, sweats, etc.]
5/02/35 Dr. M. L. Richardson's note:
"From my examination of the specimen left in my office, the condition appears to be one somewhat out of my line of treatment. Under suitable treatment it undoubtedly will promptly clear up. Sorry as I am always glad to serve Mr. Cayce & his cases but medicine is to broad for one man to treat everything."
Sinc. M. L. R.
5/03/35 See 391-10, advising continuation of injections, adding an herb tonic, vegetable diet and "Keep away from alcoholic stimulants of any nature (unless you want to ruin yourself!)." Be normal in 2-3 wks.
5/08/35 See 391-11.
