Edgar Cayce Readings, 428-10

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have had the body here before.
As we find the acute conditions that have arisen under the decided stress and strain of the changes in the present environs have been rather severe upon the body, but measures have been taken to correct same.
Under the existent conditions, if the body is willing - and it does not resent too much the activities that are being administered in the diet, the changes - these WILL eventually prove to be most helpful for the body. And we would keep rather in the routine that has been indicated.
But insist that a portion of the treatments be administered by Birdi; [Fredoon C. Birdi, N.D.] and we would find rather here a sympathetic association and connection that would be most beneficial at this time.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Would I be just as well at home?
(A) As indicated, in the present surrounding or environs where it is would be better for the time being.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1/11/37 Letter:
Guest Stationery PHYSICAL CULTURE HOTEL INC. BERNARR MACFADDEN'S HEALTH RESORT DANSVILLE, NEW YORK
Dear Mr. Cayce,
Received telegram information from home, the reading Saturday afternoon and your letter yesterday and I am very grateful to you for all of it, but especially your letter, it made me so happy.
There is so much I would like to say, but my present condition hinders me. In the absence of Dr. Birdi, which I regret sincerely, I have sent you a night letter today asking my own questions and my present Doctor, Gray by name, will do his best. He is an understanding man, although he has had no experience with healings through spiritual forces. So I am sure that best will come through, it always did for me anyway.
For the present I have only asked information concerning the gas formation, which is at the root of all the other disturbances. There is a thyroid condition, colitis and a fibroid tumor in the womb; of course it is the idea to keep the latter from becoming malignant and I can well understand the restricted diet. I am living now on tomatoes, two grapefruit, 6 oranges, 1 pt. of orange and pineapple juice mixed and this diet, as the reading says, "Will eventually" prove most helpful, which looks as though I might have to live that way for a long time. Of course, I am willing, unless the system rebels, and for that reason I asked for an alternative diet just as good, also I may not be able to get this all the time, although not so likely.
Today I am here three weeks and have improved, there is no doubt, but on Jan. 25th, two more weeks from today, my term of 5 weeks ends here.
I can't begin to tell anybody how much I suffer from the constant formation of gas. It is now reduced to 4 to 6 hours of belching every day with still plenty left, but by that time my throat muscles generally are tired out. Also the gas pressure gives me pains in my body and letterwriting or any other type of work needing concentration causes pains. So you can well understand, when I wired you, "in physical distress here."
I thank you and your dear ones at home for the love and good wishes you and they send me and send mine in return. I am, as ever, Sincerely yours, [428]
