Edgar Cayce Readings, 799-2

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [799]; this we have had before.
As we find, there is little change for the better from what would nominally be.
We would adhere to those suggestions that have been given, in the manner as would make for the coordinating of the system such as to correct those centers or ganglia as indicated, from which there is the radial activity through the nerve forces of the body and the regular circulation, as to bring to all portions of the system an equalized circulation. Also the relieving of the pressures would allow the body, through that assimilated and the strength as maintained from the distributions of same in the system, to replenish and rebuild. We would do that.
Then, take the manipulations as indicated; not just the massage but the radial activity from ganglia along the cerebrospinal system, as from the 9th dorsal plexus, the 3rd and 5th cervical plexus, from the 4th lumbar, osteopathically. And coordinate these with the axis, of course, in the 1st and 2nd cervical.
And, be mindful that the diet is kept in an alkalin-reactory condition.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Why does my abdomen swell and become acutely tender and sore following colonic irrigation?
(A) There should be those manipulations and stimulations so that from the 9th dorsal (which stimulates for the gastric flow of the lymph and the emunctory circulation through the system) there would be the drainage from the system rather than backward. So, if these are taken first - the manipulations, now - we would find a different reaction; though we would take several of the manipulations before undertaking any eliminations through the enema.
(Q) Please explain the condition with the eyes.
(A) The reflex activity from the cervical forces that make for disturbance to the sympathetic circulation; which DRAWS, as it were, the optic forces through the sensory or sympathetic circulation. These especially will receive a great deal of aid and help through such manipulations.
(Q) What is the feeling of rigidity or tightness in head?
(A) Poor circulation. Stimulate those centers as indicated, as will be seen by any operator making the applications - these are to stimulate not only the internal but the superficial circulation. It is the SYMPATHETIC nervous system and the superficial circulation that makes for a tendency of the nerve reactions to the outer portions of the body, or that makes for drawing of the skin over portions of the head; or as the eyes pulling backward; and across the abdomen - as of cords about same.
(Q) Is there any trouble with the bone?
(A) We don't find any trouble with any bone in the system, save those where it's pulled in the circulation, as makes for the creating of the blood supply or the STRAIN on same.
(Q) What is the condition caused in the nose?
(A) Sympathetic
(Q) Is there any enlargement of the head?
(A) We do not find it so. Enlargement or engorgement in the circulation through soft tissue in the antrum and in the facial portions of the body, but not enlargement of the head or the frontal bones.
Do these things, as we find; and we will bring the better conditions for this body.
We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

5/10/35 Husband's letter:
New York, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Cayce,
Guess you are beginning to think you are never going to hear from us. Well I just hated to write so much trouble. Mrs. [799] went to see Dr. Dobbins and he gave her a treatment that went entirely against grain and she has been in bed ever since, she was prostrated right after the treatment. She became very nauseated and seemed almost in the same condition as though she had been struck by [an] auto or something. She has severe muscular twitching and the lumps continue to form and is so weak she can scarcely walk across the floor and as explained to you while here the slightest stimulation nearly prostrates her. Mr. Cayce I am wondering if there is any suggestion that you could make to get her out of bed. She is very pale and weak and I am very much uneasy about her and I know you realize just how much I would appreciate any suggestion you might make. She has been very brave through it all and has continued to put up a fight but I am afraid it can't last. I have had Doctors and they don't seem to know just what to do. In fact I have been just up against a brick wall. I have wanted to send you some money and will the very first breathing spell I have.
Trusting to hear from you real soon -
Yours very truly, [...], ... Ct., N.Y. N.Y.
5/16/35 EC's letter:
Mr. [...], New York City
Dear Mr. [...]
This is in reply to your letter of the 10th, regarding how Mrs. [799] responded to Dr. Dobbins' treatment.
I believe the best thing for you to do is to consult with Dr. Dobbins, carrying him both readings that you have already had. Then let Dr. Dobbins come and make an examination. After such an examination, and studying Mrs. [799]'s readings, if Dr. Dobbins feels he would like to ask specific questions regarding Mrs. [799]'s condition - and how she should be treated - we would be glad to get another reading and try to be of help. Otherwise, I don't see much use; for thus far it seems that the application of the information has worked just opposite from that intended.
I'm sure you have found and will find Dr. Dobbins to be a very efficient and worth while person to know. If you will take Mrs. [799]'s readings to him and explain just what has happened, I'm sure his interest in our work is such that he will be glad to cooperate in helping us to find out just what the trouble is and how the subject should be approached through another reading. You may show him this letter also, if you wish.
I am very sorry to know that you are having such a time, and that Mrs. [799] is suffering so. She must become very discouraged. Know that we feel a special interest, and will be glad to help in any way possible.
Appreciating your letter, and trusting we may hear from you and from Dr. Dobbins right away, I am, with all good wishes,
Sincerely, EC:GD ASS'N FOR RESEARCH & ENLIGHTENMENT, INC.
