Edgar Cayce Readings, 555-5

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes. Much improvements we find in the general conditions of this body. And, as we find, there are only those precautions necessary now in adding to the system those things that will gently build up the resistances and gain the bodily strength.
Begin with the semi-solid foods and gradually the solid foods; and we will find the general conditions will be greatly improved even from that heretofore.
Roasted or broiled chicken, or the like. Rice. Things that are of the starch nature, yes, but with those combined for the body-building; which means green vegetables or fresh raw vegetables taken along with same. Not too much at the time, but satisfy the cravings of the body; not wholly, but so that the assimilating system may take same on properly.
And we will find conditions will continue to improve.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Just what should the diet be now?
(A) As indicated, semi-solid; and beginning with solid foods of the nature or character as indicated, see?
In the lower portions of the extremities, where there has been the injury in the foot or the toe, these do not show infection but a stiffness.
From the hips down, rubbing on either one of the limbs or both; not over the portions that have shown injury but in the feet and in the ankle, limb and hip, a small portion of the following compound massaged into same will be most beneficial: To 4 ounces of Russian White Oil, add:
Shake this together. Only use a small portion of same at the time. Begin with the hips and rub down.
This would be good for anyone that stands on the feet much, or whose feet pain, or ankle or knees or tendons.
(Q) Any special treatment for the toe?
(A) Rather for the general condition.
(Q) When may he resume a normal diet?
(A) By Monday or Tuesday of the coming week.
We are through.

REPORTS

8/14/34 Letter from [555]'s wife: "...We feel we must send a word of thanks and appreciation to you for the unselfish and willing spirit that you showed in responding to our call for the recent readings; we cannot find words to express our love and gratitude. We hope you will understand what we are attempting to say in these few lines. Love and God's blessing on you!"
2/10/35 Letter from [555]: "...I am writing my sincere thanks to you for the wonderful results obtained from the physical readings [555-2-3-4-5] during my illness of July last... Four or five days previous to 7/29/34 while at work a shop truck ran over my little toe of my left foot. The toe became blue, but not having any pain I paid no attention to it. But on 7/29/34 I arose with a slight headache. I thought it was an ordinary headache such as I usually had, with lumps appearing on my temples and neck when the headache began to leave. But this did not happen. Instead the headache became unbearable, accompanied by a high fever... The reading [555-2] was given and carried out as given, but during the night it became difficult for me to move myself on the bed and a heavy feeling developed in the vicinity of my right lung, as if someone had placed a heavy weight on my chest. [555-3] gave the cause and treatment. By the time [555-3-4] were given I had begun to feel fine with the exception of being weak from the diet and treatments, with a little stiffness in my left leg. I also had become very hungry. So [555-5] was given and carried out. From then on I regained my strength and felt like a new person. From that day to this I have not had a headache nor any other kind of headache."
