Edgar Cayce Readings, 543-27

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes.
There are a great many changes in the physical forces of the body, even since we last had same here.
Not all are for the betterment. In some ways conditions might be said to be very well.
There has recently been the experience of almost the CONTINUED convulsions from the incoordinations between the deeper nerve circulation and the superficial, or the sympathetic and cerebrospinal.
This was brought about or produced by a combination of disturbing conditions.
While the sedatives and the hypnotics have allayed, as we find there are either of two courses in the present to be pursued. But do not confuse the two. Don't take the one and part of the other, or don't mix the courses as may be outlined, see?
As we find, the BETTER course would be to begin with the Oil Packs again, over the liver and the caecum area. Continue these for periods of four to five days, at least an hour to an hour and a half a day; rest from same a week and then begin again.
Doing these continuously, with a gentle massage, would be the MOST helpful.
Also we would take Olive Oil in SMALL doses several times during the day.
Under such a course of treatment, then, most ANYTHING as desired in the way of food may be eaten, if in moderation.
DO NOT attempt to use the Apple Diet as a cleanser, if using the Oil Packs.
The other course to take would be the regular routine that has been followed recently; and if this course is taken, do not eat too great quantities of starches.
If the course of taking the Oil Packs is to be followed (which as we find is the preferable), then as indicated most ANYTHING may be taken in the way of foods desired, if taken in moderation.
But do not mix the two courses; either follow the one or the other!
Ready for questions.
(Q) Why the continuous [menstrual] flow?
(A) The strain upon the system from the activities brought about by the operative forces [See 543-24.], in conjunction with the attempts to drain off this excess nervous energy; and is produced by same.
It would be beneficial occasionally - not while there is the regular Period, but even while the flow - to use an Atomidine douche; with warm, not hot but body-temperature water. Put about half a teaspoonful of the Atomidine to a quart of the water, body-temperature. This would be helpful.
(Q) What is cause and remedy for the dry and scaly skin, particularly hands?
(A) This is a combination of disturbances. The poor circulation, the effects of the sedatives upon the body and the circulation.
Massage these occasionally, or rub over them - but don't pick at them - with the prescription or ointment DDD. This is preferable.
(Q) What is causing eczema behind the ears?
(A) Same condition, same remedy.
(Q) What of the body's eating some fried foods occasionally?
(A) As just indicated, if the Oil Packs are given and that course of treatment followed, these may be included. If the other course is followed, as has just been followed recently, then it would not be so well - for as indicated, then such foods should be left off.
We are through for the present.
