Edgar Cayce Readings, 847-2

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before. Some conditions in physical forces of the body are not so good, though there have been evidences that conditions HAVE been benefitted - but that the drainages in system, as related to lymphatic circulation, have been changed both by irritations mentally and by clogging of the system physically, and this combination is bad where there has been the stoppage through the clogging of the circulatory system, and such stoppage producing pressure in nerve ganglia.
Cleanse the system thoroughly - the alimentary canal, using same through those of ANY that will start drainage WITHOUT (This is a very good thing for those that would give medicine to learn) hindering the circulation, and there are drainages that HINDER the circulation and leave sediments; such as is seen in sediments, those that are of the coal tar or of the MINERAL salts; while those of VEGETABLE salts may start a drainage that HINDERS in the blood supply; while a VEGETABLE salt at times - that is of the nature that it STIMULATES the excretory system as a whole - will NOT hinder in either direction. Such a condition is necessary for THIS particular body. Use that, then, of calacine (?) [colocynth?] and of such combinations - these will aid in starting the eliminations.
Use exterior applications of the salts, which act WITH the system in such cases and is not taken internally.
Use more manipulations, and we will have nearer to the normal conditions for the body.
Be mindful of the diet. Do not choke the system with meats, but rather of the VEGETABLE forces and the meat JUICES only. These may be taken in moderation. Ready for questions.

REPORTS

5/09/30 Dr. L. A. Lydic referred Mrs. [847] to Charles E. Dailey, D.O., Colcord Bldg., Okla. City, Okla.
6/26/30 He wrote Vera Buchheit, D.O.:
I am referring Mrs. [847] to you for treatment which has been suggested after a special diagnosis and would consider it a personal favor if you will treat her according to it. It calls for a treatment daily for two weeks. The first four or five treatments should be a thorough relaxation along the entire spine with corrections of the lower dorsal and lumbar area.
After the fourth or fifth treatment, make the cervical adjustments. After two weeks treatment, use your own judgment as to how often her treatments should be given. It calls for ultra Violet Ray treatment over the cervical and upper dorsal twice a week, 38" distance for two minutes, gradually increasing the time.
Thanking you very kindly, I am Fraternally yours, [Lyman A. Lydic] Chief of Staff [Cayce Hospital] LAL:MD
