Edgar Cayce Readings, 403-2

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [403].
Now, as we find, there is somewhat of a complication of disorders that disturb the body at times as to its better physical functioning. These are from specific conditions that exist, and from the effect of the circulations not being nominally distributed through the system; producing then an effect that is hard to cope with, when the specific conditions that disturb organs are concerned.
These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [403], we are speaking of:
We find that the BLOOD SUPPLY shows the effects of the abnormal circulation, as well as the effect of the organs of circulation being specifically disturbed; for there has been for some time back in the body an engorgement that may be termed something of an aneurysm in the circulation from the lungs to the heart. Had this been altered in times back, in regard to the impulses from the centers or ganglia that were disturbed that produced this condition, this might have been corrected. In the present we have the body having under the existent conditions adjusted itself to the conditions; thus producing this engorgement and the activity of the valves in the heart's action itself, thus necessitating at times the stimulations that produce the coordination between the off-throw and the intake - or that cause the coordination between the aorta artery and the larger artery that circulates through the liver to take the flooding of the circulation from the lungs and heart themselves.
This in the present we would not change from that which has been and is being administered for the meeting of these emergencies that arise in the system.
From this same connection, however, we have a slowed circulation from the pressures in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd dorsal, 3rd and 4th cervical, that have left accumulations in the activities of the circulation through the sensory system specifically and in other portions of the body sympathetically. This has produced the congestion of forces in the system that cause the distress in the active forces in the sensory activity, especially to the vision where there has been an accumulation in such measures as to make for a hindrance or a growth that has obscured and does obscure the activity of the optic forces within themselves. This with the condition that exists is then rather a serious matter to make for a coordination in the system without proving detrimental effects upon other portions of the circulation. This might be absorbed were there the ability to set up drainages in the system that would make for an increased circulation, thus removing the refuse forces that have made for these accumulations in this specific or particular portions of the body. This has produced the congestion of forces in the system that cause the distress in the active forces in the sensory activity, especially to the vision - where there has been an accumulation in such measures as to make for a hindrance or a growth that has obscured and does obscured the activity of the optic forces within themselves. But to increase same would be to make for a detrimental effect upon the activities of those portions as we have indicated that have adjusted themselves to the conditions in the system.
Hence, as we find, it will be the better later - as the accumulations make for a separation in the system to the extent that these will not produce too great a strain by the removal of same; or they segregate themselves sufficiently that these may be removed by the operative forces. But until they have separated themselves it is well that this would not be done, for we would produce then a chrysalis in the effluvia and fluids of the eye itself that would prove detrimental to the activity or to the ability to remove same without causing a greater distress.
Then, in meeting the needs of the conditions as we find them with this body, [403], we are speaking of, we would keep rather on an even keel - or making for the better coordinations as near as possible in the use of the diets that will aid in keeping the body-building forces without producing an excess of avoirdupois, or that would make for the slowing or the hardening of any of the walls of the circulatory system; or keeping away from those things, then, that form any sort of a stamen [stamina?] for crystallizing the activity in the action of the nerve forces or the walls of the arterial or venous circulation.
Hence, the diets that have been outlined for the body are very good.
We would only add that the Radio-Active Appliance in its regular activity be used to aid materially in creating a balance and easing the circulation through the system. This would be attached to the extremities of the body, one opposite the other; or applied a few minutes two or three times a day as the body rests - not as it attempts to sleep, but taken before retiring or before the periods of the digestive activity will be found to be very beneficial. Hence it would be kept in such a state or order that is charged by the activity of the cold upon the elements within the battery formation itself, in such a way as to become effective as soon as attached to the body. It would be attached to the wrist and ankle for fifteen to twenty minutes three or four times a day, to be most helpful, alternating to opposite extremities at each application; that is, one time it would be attached to the right wrist and left ankle; the next application it would be attached to the left wrist and right ankle; but always to the wrist first. The alternation would be at each application instead of each day, but the battery should be kept - as it were - on charge. When not in use disconnect at the container of the battery, you see, but keep with the ice - or the cold about same, so that when attached it is ready for activity. This will ease the circulation, thus relieving a strain in the internal circulation and making for a more even activity in the blood supply through the system.
We would also find that the application of the violet ray to the upper dorsal and the cervical area will relieve the tension at times to the eye, as well as to the heart's circulation. Such treatments we would not take too great a period at a time, especially until there had been sufficient lapse of time or sufficient activity with the equalizing conditions in the low form of the vibrations from the Radio-Active forces. The applications would be made as the body is ready to retire, or when there come those periods of overanxiety from the strain from any of the activities in the system. From ten to twelve minutes would be sufficient each time, making the application three to four times a week - the hand violet ray machine.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Are the present treatments for the eyes beneficial?
(A) They only make for an EASING - they are not any CONSTRUCTIVE measures, but - as we find - with the addition of that which eases the circulation, and that which aids the activities from the ganglia in the upper dorsal and cervical area such as to relieve the pressure (through the Radio- Active Appliance and the violet ray applications), these may be made more effective.
(Q) How long before the operation should take place?
(A) This would depend upon the responses of the system to the applications. Not until it is seen by the examining surgeon that the condition has entirely separated itself from the ball activity itself, see? For, as indicated, until this separation has taken place, it would form a chrysalis or crystallizing of the influences that are left in the form of sedimentations to produce greater strain and a great detriment to the eye itself.
(Q) Would Dr. Thompson of Commonwealth Ave., Boston, be the proper person to perform the operation - the one who has been giving treatments?
(A) Yes, very good. Very efficient.
(Q) Just what is the condition of the heart, and any special treatments or precautions other than given?
(A) As described, this is an overflow from the connection between the lungs, the heart, the liver and the heart, or through the aorta artery, see? the large trunk to the head, you see, and the circulation that is carried from the heart to the liver itself; and is a FORM of an overflow, or the relaxing of muscular forces in the cardiac or secondary cardiac plexus that has produced or brought about the condition.
The present precautions that are taken. No undue exercise. No undue excitement. And keeping as quiet as possible. These precautions make for the better conditions of the body. The equalizing of the circulation through the activity of the low form of electrical vibration in the Radio-Active Appliance will make for KEEPING this farther from its congesting area, and thus be helpful.
(Q) Are there any suggestions to aid the mental condition?
(A) As may be indicated from all forms of applications that have been suggested or given through the influences upon the physical and mental forces of the body, the body in its mental attitude should keep the nearer to knowing that there is sufficient grace and mercy in the life-giving forces in the body to KEEP the body efficient to meet all the emergencies; that it may carry out in its experience the necessary forces for maintaining that equilibrium with the creative energies in Life itself.
(Q) What special foods should be avoided?
(A) Those of any nature that create a tendency for the accumulation of too much iron, silicon, or any of these; only in sufficient quantities for the keeping of the blood rich with its necessary vitamins or forces to create the proper cellular force in the circulation. Hence these are to be avoided in any great quantity.
Do these and, as we find, we will bring the better conditions - and much easier periods for this body, [403].
We are through for the present.
