Edgar Cayce Readings, 455-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Now, as we find, there are conditions that disturb the body, [455], that are complex in their nature. Hence the conditions that have existed for some time have produced rather a complication of disorders in the system. And to build that which may be helpful or beneficial to the body, the varied disturbances and the manner in which the vitality may be restored to the active forces in the body must be considered; for paresis is a portion of the condition; improper functioning of glands of the system is a portion of the conditions; impoverished conditions in the blood supply are also a portion. Yet these must be made to coordinate one with another. Hence it would be necessary as we find, to make for rather the basis whereupon there may be added those things that may aid in bringing better conditions for the body. This will require, naturally, some time. It will require changes in the administration of the elements necessary.
In the present there is a deficiency in the glands' activity of iodine in the proportions that would make for a balancing of eliminations, and in aiding towards restoring to the circulation in the body those elements necessary to make for active influences in the body.
Do not expect miracles with the administrations, but there will be the effects that will not only make for a better recuperative force but a better reaction in the body, both to the activities of the body itself in its locomotion, the activity of all portions of the locomotions in the activity of the functioning of the organisms.
Begin, then, with these:
Prepare the wet cell battery appliance that would carry the iodine CHARGED in same, and the applying of this to the body would be: The copper anode would be first attached, to the 3rd and 4th dorsal plexus area. The nickel anode would next be attached, to the umbilicii plexus or over the lacteal ducts, so that the first vibrations that are added in the system will act through the assimilations that are active with the ducts in the blood supply; so that the atomic forces of the blood itself may be stimulated to activity in all the glands that have been deficient; aiding the body to gain a more normal equilibrium.
And it would be well, at least once or twice each week, for a through massage to be carried with such applications.
The battery vibrations would be applied each day, beginning first with only five to ten minutes. This for five to six days. Then increase to fifteen to twenty minutes, for five to six days. Then increase the time from twenty to thirty minutes. After the 4th or 5th day, should there be nausea (which will at times occur, from the change in vibrations), then reduce the period of activity but continue to use the vibrations.
After thirty-six days we would give further instructions.
The massage should be from head to foot.
The diets have been well balanced, but they do not add that necessary element for the activity to the glands, that may be had through the vibration of iodine taken in low electrical vibration.
Do that. Ready for questions.
(Q) Any suggestion for the diet of the body?
(A) Keep the diet as indicated, for it is well balanced; but there has not been the ability of the system (through the long standing of the changes that have come about) to produce the proper balance of elements for resuscitating the proper balance of activities or coordination through the system.
(Q) Will you give a more detailed description of the physical condition of the body, or the ailments at this time?
(A) As indicated, the locomotions are affected; the glands, particularly, of the body are affected.
(Q) Under what general classification would this condition come?
(A) Gland suppression in its activity.
(Q) What particular glands are affected?
(A) Began with the lower portion of the adrenal, the activity of the glands in the circulation through the thyroid, through the extension through the system in the cerebrospinal system.
(Q) What would the doctors call the disease?
(A) It has been identified as several different things. Paresis is a portion of the effect. The glands are the cause. The effect has been called different names.
If we would bring aid to this body, we would follow these as given.
(Q) Should there be a change in the environment of the body, or can the treatments be given as outlined in the present location?
(A) Not necessary for a change, for the present environs are not bad; rather GOOD. And these may be applied at home.
(Q) Under what general type of ailment would this be termed? nervous, mental, physical, circulatory, or just what?
(A) All are involved, but it is the GLANDS' effect upon the whole of the system, as indicated, and may be termed the nervous-mental condition as the base or the beginning of it.
(Q) What was the original cause of this condition?
(A) Are we seeking to test, or are we seeking aid? It began from a very bad activity to the glands of the excretory system, as related to the generative organs.
We are through for the present.

(GD's note: If you decide to follow the reading instructions, information regarding the wet cell battery may be obtained from Mr. Gray Salter, Route 2, Box 20, Hopkinsville, Kentucky. It is my understanding that this particular type of appliance is priced at $25.00, though I am not sure. Full instructions come with the battery.)

REPORTS

4/01/34 Letter from husband: "Ans. your letter of Mar. 29, I am happy to say that Mrs. [455] is making a remarkable recovery. She would not do any of the things Mr. Cayce recommended, but her recovery is startling, whatever the cause may be."
