Edgar Cayce Readings, 992-3

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: We have the body here, [992] - this we have had before. In some respects we find the physical conditions are better. While the irritations as come from infectious forces in the system through the digestive system are apparently more AGGRAVATING, more severe, these - as we find - indicate, in the manner in which the physical adjustments are being made, that the condition IS active with the nerve corrections in the system, and will there be kept those adjustments - especially that will alter the nerve supply to the liver and lacteal ducts, in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th dorsal centers, keeping more of the irrigations for the colon - we will find we will bring about a better elimination, and gradually the proper correction for the whole condition.
When the irritations are so severe - that is, the abrasions - of evenings we would bathe same, or make an ointment in THIS manner: Take this proportion. To 2 ounces of pure hog lard, add calomel 1 grain, sulphur 2 ounces - see? This should be worked WELL together, just so that this is sufficient to carry the whole property as an ointment, adding sufficient olive oil TO same to make same MIX well - see? Then bathe this off of MORNINGS with a mild antiseptic solution, and we will find this will relieve the pains.
As to the matter of diet, do not add so much starch to the foods; rather keep in line with those that will make for the better BLOOD and nerve building.
We would at least have the irrigations every twelve to twenty days, see; OFTENER if NECESSARY for the proper eliminations to be kept. Do that. Ready for questions.
(Q) Are the osteopathic treatments twice a week being properly administered?
(A) These are being properly administered. We would be a little more severe in the ADJUSTMENTS in the regions given, see. That this will make for a tendency for irritation at times may be expected. The stimulation to this portion of the system, that has been - and is - producing the irritation in system, CAUSING the effect of the acids in the lymph circulation, this will make for a coordination in the INTERNAL circulation and not so severe in the EXTERNAL circulation; for we should drain INTERNALLY rather than EXTERNALLY - but the irritation in the liver area, in the area where the digestive forces are assimilated, these produce this irritation.
(Q) How soon may I expect to see any definite improvement in condition of my skin?
(A) With these followed, we should see it in two to three weeks.
(Q) Can I expect a PERMANENT cure?
(A) May expect a permanent cure, for when the adjustments are such that the drainages are to the alimentary canal and to the hepatic circulation - rather than to the lymph circulation - we may expect a permanent relief.
(Q) Why the feeling of lack of physical energy?
(A) This by the natural tendency or changes in the circulation, as does in any change in an active force in the mental or nervous system. An EXPECTANCY is rather the description, than inertia.
(Q) Has there been any improvement in my general condition?
(A) As has been given, improvement in the general condition.
(Q) Are worriment and unhappiness in present business connection and associations retarding physical progress?
(A) This, to be sure, has its effect; but these must be overcome as the changes are made - we will find that these will be overcome, as well as the business worries and changes will adjust themselves.
(Q) Would it be advisable to make an immediate change?
(A) We would not.
That is all the questions.
We are through with this reading.
