Edgar Cayce Readings, 908-3

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we find the conditions are not so good as last we had same; yet, as we find, were there the full or complete application of those things suggested for the body these would show greater improvements.
As we find, for those conditions that are indicated in the chest or about the breast, and also as indicated in the lower hepatic circulation and through the lower portion of the alimentary canal, it would be well to bathe the feet of evenings in mustard water. Use a heaping teaspoonful of mustard to a gallon of water as hot as the body can stand. Stir this in well; then massage the lower limbs, that is, from the knees down - and especially the feet. And afterward, while they are still warm from the hot bath, massage into the BOTTOMS of the feet all the body will absorb of a combination of equal parts of Mutton Suet, Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor. Massage all that will be absorbed to the bottom of the feet, you see; but have the mustard bath and the rubbing of same from the knees downward.
We would use the Ash and the violet ray as indicated.
If the body is not able to massage the Plantain salve, use it as a poultice - as indicated.
Use the Tim for the conditions in the rectum.
And, as much as possible, make for the exercise of stretching the arms above the head but not bending lower than level; that is, from the waist, see? but keeping the arms stretched UPWARD - not brought down in front of self. This will not make for losing balance, if it is only kept LEVEL.
Doing these, with the general conditions for the vegetative forces of the body through the diets, should bring the better conditions.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What caused the excruciating pain between the breasts last week?
(A) NERVOUSNESS! It arose from a conversation that was had by the body with another as respecting the conditions from those activities in the system, and an overtaxation in the DIGESTIVE system - or LACK of digestion.
(Q) Can anything be done to relieve this when it comes on?
(A) Put the feet in hot water and relax!
(Q) Why does the olive oil apparently start the pain, the minute I swallow it?
(A) Imagination! Take less of the olive oil if necessary.
(Q) Should the olive oil be continued?
(A) As indicated, take less of the olive oil; that is, less in quantity, just enough to dampen the lips or the tongue, see?
(Q) Are the injections in the breast to relieve the pain harmful?
(A) They'll make 'em come off!
(Q) Should I massage the Plantain salve into the breast, even though touching it hurts?
(A) As given, make it into a poultice.
(Q) Should the enemas be continued as they have been given, or would it be better for me to have them done by a nurse?
(A) Be better were they done more in a systematic manner!
(Q) Should the Tim be used as a salve when taking the enemas?
(A) Be used as a salve.
(Q) Is the jar of Tim, present in this room, alright to use?
(A) Alright to use.
(Q) What should be the effect or reaction from its use?
(A) To cure the condition! What do you expect it to do? To irritate or make for harmful effects? We are through with this!

REPORTS

1/13/36 See 908-4. Her friend Mrs. [379] phoned for it, saying: "Mrs. [908] says Dr. L. C. McCoy, D.O., has been treating her and that he nearly killed her. She heard Mr. [...] and Mrs. [...] tell about the miracle performed on their sister, Miss [886], thru your rdg. which directed her to proper physician. So she, Mrs. [908], decided she wanted to try a rdg. again, even though she hadn't followed others obtained."
