Edgar Cayce Readings, 854-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [854].
Now, as we find, conditions that disturb the better physical functioning of the body are the excess and the lack of gland secretions, and the effect these produce upon the general physical forces of the body.
These, as we find, with the proper precautions and with a consistency in the activity, may be eliminated, and bring the near normal conditions of the body; though in some respects these conditions are rather of a serious nature.
Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [854] we are speaking of:
The BLOOD SUPPLY indicates a very poor assimilation through the digestive system, as well as very diffused in the secretions from the glands; so that the metabolism of the system is very much disturbed. There is a lack of the numbers in the white AND red blood, and those tendencies for the improper coagulations in the system arise from these tendencies in the blood stream as produced by incoordination in the functionings of the system, the lack of elements in the body itself to produce or cause the functionings of these glands - as indicated in the thyroid, as indicated in the lacteal ducts where we have something of an adhesion or cohesion of the glands themselves. Also there is very poor assimilation; the activities to the glands of the pelvis in the adrenal, those that work for the activities in the functioning of the organs of the pelvis, in and during the menstrual periods, these do not function normally or properly; making for at times a very scant and at others very irregular elimination in these directions, and other periods when there is a great deal of continued pain and suffering at such periods, nausea and headaches as occur, pains in the right side as well as in the left along the diaphragm area, and especially about the lacteal ducts in the right portion do we find disorders. Or these are the effect of disorders that have gradually grown from improper assimilation, improper activity, poor activity through the digestive system and the blood stream itself. At times the very disturbing condition in the assimilating forces of the digestion make for the improper circulation through the lungs and throat and head, giving rise to a fullness in the soft tissue of the face; which makes for disagreeable feelings across the eyes, head, the base of the brain, and through those activities of the system as indicated.
As to the NERVOUS FORCES of the body, these are naturally unbalanced from these conditions that arise; because we have periods when the body is rather morose, when it becomes very sorry for itself and at other times when it feels as if everyone and every condition is against the body in its activity; ready to make for condemnations and irritations at periods when these conditions arise in the body, and it becomes very morose. This naturally produces in the nervous forces a very poor ability for the natural rest for the body.
In the ORGANS themselves of the body, we find:
The activities of the brain and the regular forces through the sensory organism are very good, save as their reflex through the nervous reactions to most all of the organs of the sensory system. This makes for the fullness in the throat, through those activities to the vocal box itself; the drumming or the humming at times in the ears, the inability for the proper odors to be experienced - or odors that are unnatural arise in the experience of the body. The emotions become aroused such that the body takes sudden likes and dislikes to conditions and to peoples and to things. These are all nervous reactions to the system itself, you see.
From the very poor assimilation, naturally the digestion is very poor in the digestive areas of the body.
And as we find, these would be the better applications for the PRESENT; though we find necessarily that there may be changes, and should be a change after these applications had been taken for thirty-six to forty days, you see:
First we would have a period of two weeks at a time regularly when the body would take two minims of Atomidine morning and evening; that is, two minims in half a glass of water before breakfast and two minims just before retiring.
Also we would use the electrically driven vibrator. This would be better in this portion of the application that even adjustments or manipulations; the electrically driven vibrator each evening over the whole of the cerebrospinal system for at least fifteen minutes.
Every other day use the violet ray AFTER the vibrator treatment. This would be applied directly from the open bulb, you see, or the large bulb, for three to five minutes; and let at least two minutes of this be along the head, the neck, over the thyroids, over the face, over the head and eyes and the soft tissue as along the antrum and along the sinus.
We would take internally at least twice a week the extract of liver - Valentine's, preferably, in the evenings.
Also we would take Ventriculin about twice each week in the evenings, the regular dose indicated, but use that WITHOUT iron in the beginning.
We would also use each day the Radio-Active Appliance. This we would use on the extremities of the body; right wrist, left ankle; left wrist and the right ankle. About four days before the regular time for the menstrual period, make the application of the anodes to the 4th lumbar area and to the frontal bone of the body; so that the periods will be less severe, more regular, carrying the vibrations from the 4th lumbar to the puba or frontal puba bone, so that the nerve forces react through these. The plain vibrations to the extremities would be taken every day, while those in the lumbar and frontal bone would be taken extra for the three or four days previous to the periods.
We would be very mindful of the diet. Adhere to an alkalinreacting diet. This would be as an outline for the body, though, to be sure, this may be altered to suit the tastes of the body at times:
Breakfast - do not take cereals and citrus fruit juices at the same meal. Citrus fruit juices OR cereals may be taken. If cereals are taken, they should be preferably of the whole wheat or the puffed wheat or the rolled wheat, or the wheat with barley in same - these would be the more preferable. At times there may be taken the yolk of egg with whole wheat bread.
During the morning hours, about ten or eleven o'clock, we would take a malted milk with egg and a few drops of spirits frumenti in same.
Noons - preferably raw green vegetables, or soups from same. Or the salad may be made of a combination or fruits.
Evenings - cooked vegetables, preferably cooked in their OWN salts; NOT in water, you see, but preferably in Patapar paper. Whether these are dry beans or fresh beans, or cabbage or what not, cook them in their OWN juices and take the juices of same WITH same as they are eaten! The meats should ONLY consist of broiled or boiled fish, fowl or lamb.
Do these in a very consistent way and manner, as we have given, for a period of thirty-six to forty days; and we would then give further instructions.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What causes my thyroid glands to swell?
(A) Lack of proper secretion in the gland activity.
(Q) What is the cause of pains in my back just below my waist line?
(A) A heaviness of the activities of the glands to those secretions for the functioning of the pelvic organs, and for the activities of the glands or secretions to the lacteal duct area. Those vibrations and applications as indicated should relieve these pressures.
Do these as outlined for thirty-six to forty days; and then we would give further instructions. We are through for the present.
