Edgar Cayce Readings, 754-2

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before, [754].
As we find, there is not a great improvement upon those conditions as we have had here before; while there have been periods, and a part of the period when there was a great deal of improvement, owing primarily to the mental attitude of the body as related to its general condition and the applications as made.
The applications of the Wet Cell forces, as we find, for the creating of the variations in the reaction to the gastric flows through the digestive system and the eliminations and activities there, have not been CONSISTENTLY adhered to. For there have been periods when this has been left off; there are periods when there is not the proper attention paid when the applications are made. Then there is the tendency for the relying upon sedentary [sedative?] forces or influences of conditions from without the system to allay those pains.
As we find, if there will be the adherence to the rubs in the MANNER indicated, and the applications of the active forces from the low electrical forces in the Wet Cell AS INDICATED, these will bring the better conditions for this body.
The body in its mental forces has been dependent upon those influences from without. And unless there is supplied that which can gradually reduce the necessity of the use of these, then there can be little or no help. For with the system creating within itself those necessary changes in that assimilated through the effluvia and the humor of the blood supply itself for energies that become active with the gland secretions, to resort to other measures instead of allowing the restorative activity to those portions where there have been hindrances in the locomotion causes improper coordination between the two; and brings rather a severity of pain to the body.
Either adhere to the suggestions given, CONSISTENTLY, or revert to the old positions or conditions. DO NOT attempt to mix same so much.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Any other suggestions for this body?
(A) We would keep, then, those things as suggested, in the MANNERS as indicated.
Either give this, then, the fair trial, HONEST trial, or FORGET it! [GD's note: Both of Mrs. [754]'s readings had been given by EC without charge, due to the daughter's hard luck story and EC's friendship for Mr. [2588]].
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

6/03/38 [754]'s daughter's letter to EC:
"About three years ago or more, a reading was given my mother at the home of Mr. David Kahn, then living at 77th Street, New York City. Mr. [2588] recommended the reading to me at the time, as he is, and still is, a friend of mine. Mother is no better and I'd appreciate it if I could get a copy of her reading. Would there be any possible chance of another reading? I'm in no position to pay at the present time and anything you could do for me would be greatly appreciated.
"My mother is an absolutely helpless individual, has as they call it, Parkinson's Palsy, and must be fed, bathed, washed, and combed like an infant of six months of age. I truly wish you could do something for her. It would be a worthy deed.
"My mother's name is [754].
"Mother is at a sanitarium now, at a convalescing home...
"Many thanks for your prompt attention and return reply..."
6/06/38 EC's letter to [754]'s daughter:
"Have yours of the 2nd. I'm sorry to hear your Mother is no better. I would like to try and do something to help, but it is not our policy to interfere where an individual is in an institution or hospital, for it is impractical to get the suggestions adhered to. And if you wish a copy of the former readings, send one dollar to Miss Gladys Davis, care of this office. That is what she charges for copies of former readings.
"Thank you for considering us, and wish we might be of help. But I do not feel that is possible to be of help under the circumstances.
"Hoping for the best, and that she may soon show improvement..."
