Edgar Cayce Readings, 538-49

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [538]; this we have had before.
As we find, there are disturbing influences and forces that in the present arise from the effect of acute conditions from congestion and cold, and the effect of poisons and activities upon portions of the system which have been under strain in varied ways and manners.
Then, as we find in the present:
It would be well for there to be taken the Zilatone tablets almost every day for a period of at least three weeks; that would make for an increase in the eliminations sufficient to make the activities of the hepatic circulation and the flow of the gall duct such as to cleanse the system.
As we find, one tablet would be taken about thirty minutes after each meal for the first two or three days. Then take two tablets after the evening meal for the rest of the time; unless these cause the eliminations to become too lax. But as we find, these kept in the manner indicated - with the other precautions - will correct the disturbance.
Occasionally, every few days, we would take an enema to assist in cleansing the colon. Have the water body-temperature, and a saline solution.
Also occasionally, once or twice a week, we would keep the thorough gentle manipulations; and with specific reference to the head and neck applications or adjustments.
There may also be the local applications made by self to those areas along the side of the face and to the eyelid - on the right eye portion - of an equal combination of Olive Oil and Compound Tincture of Benzoin; just these two mixed together. Massage this mixture gently, before retiring, into the side of the neck, the face, across the brow, across the eyelid.
And with the other activities as indicated for cleansing the system, these should make for a stimulation and a strengthening to the muscular forces for their normal activity.
The eliminations also being increased will make for the purifying of the bodily forces such as to aid in correcting all of the conditions throughout the system itself.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Should I discontinue with the Radio-Active, or continue as has been taken?
(A) We would leave this off for the next two to three weeks. Then we would begin with same again, and these should aid in keeping an equal balance in the system.
(Q) Is there any specific trouble with the vision or is it from the drooping eyelid?
(A) It's from the reflection and from the drooping, and it is a muscular force as has been indicated that should be strengthened - not only by the osteopathic manipulation but the massage in those portions indicated.
See, the massage should extend around the neck, side of the face; not too much on the cheek bone where there are the inclinations to make for this sagging, of course - which is partially hereditary [Karmic? See 538-9, Par. 11.], partially those conditions as related to the injuries there. [See 538-10.]
Hence these should be strengthened by the gentle massage, you see. Let there be massaged into the skin and the muscular forces all the body will absorb, from the neck and side of face and over the eyebrow.
We are through with this reading.
