Edgar Cayce Readings, 862-2

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body, [862]; this we have had before.
Here might it well be said, if there had been the consistent and persistent following of those things suggested, when suggested, there would be a great deal of difference in the existent conditions.
As we find, there are the effects of infectious forces that produce a separation in the blood supply, in such manners that there becomes a humor, or an inflammatory condition affecting the nerves, the muscular forces, the tendons in other portions of the system, and to be sure makes a strain upon the lymph circulation.
Hence swelling in portions of the body, and a tendency for drying, or those inclinations towards conditions where there is the atrophy of energies.
As we find, while it may be necessary at times for sedatives, or eliminants, or the stimulations, the conditions will gradually be eradicated if there will be consistent and persistent refraining from those things harmful in the diet. Refrain from most any meats, only those at times of the light portion of fowl and that not fried; or boiled or baked fish or the like. But at least do these:
Do not think because these appear small amounts that the body will not after a few days regain its strength.
Mornings - ONLY citrus fruit and citrus fruit juices, combination of them or singly.
Noons - ONLY RAW vegetables.
Evenings - well-cooked vegetables of all characters, but not too large quantities of those that grow below the ground. And these well-cooked in their OWN juices, that the salts of each vegetable may be preserved in same.
These we find will make a vast difference.
And add those vibrations of the Wet Cell Appliance carrying the Gold two days, the Silver one day. The attachments should be made in this manner:
The first two days, for thirty minutes, preferably in the evening, the small plate would be attached first at the 4th lumbar, while the larger plate - through which the Gold solution passes (two grains Chloride of Gold to each ounce of Distilled Water) - would be attached last, at the lacteal and umbilicus duct or the gall duct and lacteal center. The chlorides will add that as may appear at times as a rash, or as a great bitterness in the taste of things; but the vibratory forces set will - if the eliminations are kept well - carry from the system the humors, the poisons in the blood system; gradually, to be sure. Thus the body needs to be VERY persistent.
The next day for one day, for thirty minutes, the attachments would be to almost opposite sides of the body; that is, the small plate would be attached first, to the 9th dorsal center, while the larger - through which the 10% solution of Nitrate of Silver passes - would be attached last, over the lacteal duct and umbilicus plexus or toward the right portion of same.
Alternate the applications in this manner.
These will require also that there be massages occasionally, but these as we find would materially RELIEVE the body, after a few treatments, but must be kept for at least six weeks to six months if there would be any PERMANENT help.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What is the cause of the blurriness in the eyesight?
(A) This same pressure in the lymph circulation as has been indicated, so that strain by the use of the eyes carries the inflammation to the mucous membranes or around the ball and makes, as it were, a fogginess more than a dimness.
These applications should assist this very soon, especially if the massages are occasionally given for those areas - the upper dorsal and cervical centers.
(Q) Is this syphilitic infection, which the doctors say is in the blood?
(A) This is infection in the blood supply, arising from disturbances through the whole of the system itself.
(Q) Is there any other infection in the blood?
(A) Do these. As we find, these would relieve. There are naturally infections as the disturbance comes to the various organs and these are deficient in supplying of their portion of the influences for a coordinating system and at times leave or cause infectious forces.
If we will do these consistently, we should soon see help, and PERSISTENT in same should eliminate the disturbance from the body. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

See 862-1 on 3/21/35.
8/14/36 GD's note: Last night his niece, Mrs. [601], phoned to say he and family are panicky; doctor says tests show he has a syphilitic infection.

REPORTS

8/17/36 Mrs. [601]'s letter: "Rec'd Mr. [862]'s (Uncle [862]) rdg. this morning. The rdg. certainly indicates a serious condition and believe that the doctor has also given him enough of a jolt to heed the warning. The information refused to specify about the condition being due to a syphilitic infection, which the doctor said the blood test showed. Mr. [862] hasn't had anything serious except for this blurriness in his eyes and went to an eye doctor to be examined for glasses. During the examination they noticed a spot near the eyeball of the right eye and advised a blood test, recognizing an abnormal condition which is caused by blood infection. He was advised to take serum injections for this condition. I have discussed this matter with Dr. John R. Thompson (D.O.) and his experience has been that only intravenous injections for this condition have been helpful if it is definitely a syphilitic infection.
"We are much upset and would appreciate a check rdg. on the question relating to serum injections and also whether massages should be given by an osteopath with manipulations to those areas mentioned in rdg.
"We have the battery and also the wires and metal plates. We do not have the chemicals necessary for the crock and also need the Chloride of Gold. I believe we can buy the Nitrate of Silver here. Please send the directions for connecting the anodes and setting up the battery for using same.
"I am enclosing $5 on account and will no doubt have to arrange for frequent ck. rdgs. Please give this your prompt attention as it is very important to begin this treatment."
