Edgar Cayce Readings, 982-5

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body, [982]; this we have had before.
As we find there are a great many changes in the physical forces of the body since last we had same here.
While the greater part of these are for improvements, there are still those conditions and inclinations that should be or must be reckoned with, if there would be kept the near to normal physical reactions.
These are the conditions as we find them in the present.
As we find in the blood supply, there is that inclination for it to slow through portions of the superficial circulation. There is the inactivity of the structural portions in aiding to supply sufficient of the red blood cellular forces.
Hence we have an intermittent pulse and an inclination towards subnormalcy in the circulatory forces.
These as we find in part arise from pressures that are produced in segments along the cerebrospinal system.
Hence the tendencies for portions of same, as between the shoulders, at other times across the upper portion of the hips, through portions of the lower lumbar, to feel a heaviness, a stiffness at times. These are then produced and also become contributory causes to those disturbances that are indicated.
These arise in part from some injections that have formerly been used, and those after affects still from a subjugation of the impulses between the deeper circulation as to the nerve forces and the sympathetic nervous system.
This makes the inclination at times for the body in its mental and physical reaction to appear to incoordinate; producing lapses of the return flow in impulses between the deeper circulation (that is, the deeper flow of the nerve impulse) and the refractory reactions from the superficial and sympathetic and vegetative nerve system to impulses in the physical body.
These make not for mental deficiencies but a slowing of same by this suppression, that is still contributory to the physical conditions in the circulation and the effect of these upon the system.
The inclinations then from the lack of these activities are as we find a tendency towards an arthritic reaction.
In meeting then the conditions as we find indicated:
Once a week, or once in ten days would possibly be preferable, we would have the hydrotherapy treatments. Included with these, not each time to be sure but when the eliminations through the alimentary canal are sluggish, we would have enemas; not too high but so as to cleanse the colon from the poisons. Also we would have the steam or cabinet baths; preferably the fume baths - these as we find would aid in making a better coordination when the massages or the Swedish massages are given following same. Let the fumes be from the Oil of Wintergreen. Such a steam or cabinet fume bath, as indicated, would be given about once in ten days. Some times use the enemas, at others only the fume baths and the thorough massage afterward.
Also we find that an effective help would be to give the deep therapy with these other treatments, or that not of the vibrating nature but of the deep therapy that creates heat WITHIN the body - the diathermy, you see; this to be given for thirty to forty minutes about each time the baths and rubdowns are given; though there should be, after such an application of the diathermy, half an hour to an hour's rest following same. Hence this would preferably be given after the massage has been given, you see.
Each day we would use the Radio-Active Appliance. Every other day (and these we would have rehauled or over hauled, for there are some connections that need to be adjusted with the Appliance that has been used), we would use the Wet Cell Appliance, the low electrical vibration, carrying the Chloride of Gold - proportions for the solution, three grains to one ounce of distilled water. The attachments would be made, now, in this manner: The small plate would be attached first, to the lumbar axis; while the larger plate, through which the Gold Solution passes, would be attached last, to the umbilicus and lacteal duct center, or three fingers on this body from the umbilicus plexus or navel to the right. The attachments would be made for thirty minutes, only every other day - but not on the days that the diathermy treatment is given, you see.
Also we would prepare a solution of the Chloride of Gold to be taken internally with a Bromide of Soda solution. Prepare the two solutions in this manner, and keep separate:
One grain of Chloride of Gold to one ounce of distilled water. This would be one solution.
Three grains of Bromide of Soda to one ounce of distilled water. This would be another solution.
The dosage would be: One minim of the Chloride of Gold solution and two minims of the Bromide of Soda solution in half a glass of water each day for three days, leave off for five days, take three days again. This procedure would be repeated for at least five to six different periods or rounds of taking same.
Doing these, with those precautions that have been taken by the body oft in its general activities, should bring about the better conditions of the body. Keep in the open as much as possible at most times, and the activities that produce better coordination in the sensory forces of the system.
Do that.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What would restore natural color to hair and make it more manageable?
(A) As we find, if the scalp were massaged at least every week with the Crude Oil and then cleansed with a week solution of alcohol - but grain alcohol, and then followed by the White Vaseline rub, this will restore color, will thicken hair and make it much more brilliant in its lustre.
(Q) Would "Friendly Fever" be of help in relieving condition of the joints?
(A) As we find, the deep therapy - the superficial circulation increased, you see, by the massage as combined with the effect upon all of the glandular system with the low electrical forces of the Wet Cell Appliance and the Chloride of Gold internally, as well as vibratorially - these would really be more effective than the "Friendly Fever."
For if the diathermy is given properly, not too high, not too long at a give period but with these other activities, it will produce a better condition in relieving this tendency for stiffening in the joints, and those massages will relieve the conditions along the cerebrospinal system.
(Q) What can I do to increase my mental ability, or power of mind?
(A) As we find, as indicated, this is much a physical condition; and if there is a better coordination by the use of the Appliances as indicated and the massages as given, there will be produced a better coordination and thus make for the better mental reactions to sympathetic and also static forces as would reflect in the mental and physical activities of the body.
(Q) What is the reason for the tension in my spine and muscles, especially between shoulder blades and at back of my neck?
(A) As has been indicated, this is the inclination that arises from the poor coordination between the deep circulation and the superficial circulation, owing to the lack of the system's reproducing sufficient cellular forces from structural portions of the body.
Hence a glandular reaction, as indicated by the administering (through those suggestions made) of the varied forms of the electrical vibrations of the body as produced by the Radio- Active Appliance (for it is only active when attached to the body), the low electrical vibrations carrying an active force upon the assimilating and glandular force of the body. These would restore then near to normalcy, if there will be consistent, persistent use of those things given.
We are through for the present.
