Edgar Cayce Readings, 1110-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes. Now, as we find, there is somewhat of a complication of disturbances. And while many of these are effects, in the correction of first causes many changes would come about. At first some might have the appearance of not improving in one direction, but with the general change - and with the consistency as might be brought to the general cooperativeness for disturbing conditions - there might be brought about much more satisfactory and nearer normal conditions.
This would require time, patience; and, as we find, unless there is a consistency - and the following out of the whole disturbance for corrections - we would rather suggest that the body continue with that which only alleviates for a time but does little, as we find, toward real correction.
These, then, are disturbances as we find them with this body, [1110] we are speaking of:
First, in times back we find there has been an injury - or a strain is apparent, more than an injury - in the area of the 9th dorsal, that has gradually produced the disturbances. For the lack of the incentive or flow, by the impingements of nerve plexus and nerve ganglia, has left the system lacking in some directions in the ability for the proper nerve impulse or flow. And in other directions there is allowed an increase, or an activity in some of the organs of the system to overcome or to produce an excess activity. This is indicated through the deflections created in the eliminations, as the superactivity in the pancreas as coordinate with the hepatic circulation. Thus the effect produced upon the incoordination between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal or the vegetative and cerebrospinal nervous systems. So a compound or a compilation of disturbing factors is left in the system; in portions of the extremities, through the greater increase of impulse in the areas from which there is the radial activity to the locomotories, the digestion, the assimilation, and activities through the system. Thus there is the necessity at times for the use of properties added to the system in a synthetic manner; influences to produce an activity in the organs themselves. At other periods there is required the use of sedatives that have made for a tying up of many of the activities through the eliminations; thus causing the irritations in the superficial circulation and a nervousness or a digitan (agitans?, paralysis agitans?) - in a FORM - through the activities of the coordinating centers between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems.
Then, as we find, in making the corrections for the betterment of this body in the immediate future, as indicated, there will be required consistency and patience on the part not only of the operator but the patient itself.
Thus at times it will be necessary to resort to measures that have been of extreme natures at times, but gradually these may be left off - in their various forms - as much as the body-physical and mental may coordinate to allow same.
And there may be brought those conditions in the system whereby the activity of the organs, the secretions in the activities of the various glands themselves, may supply to the organism itself those necessary influences for creating a normal balance; thus making for better conditions in the body itself.
First, then, we would begin with these:
At least three times each week we would have the GENERAL manipulations osteopathically given; making once a week specific corrections in the 9th dorsal centers, the lumbar - or 4th lumbar center, coordinating with the upper dorsal and throughout the cervical area; to gradually set up the drainages necessary.
Keep to the diets that make for less of the sugar activities in the system; or through the activities of the pancreas as associated with the lower hepatic circulation.
Create more of a normal vibration in the body through the use of the low electrical vibrations from the Radio-Active Appliance; that would be alternated about the body in the regular routine. These vibrations, we find, would overcome this restlessness, this insomnia, this nervous reaction, and gradually make for improvements in the conditions. Make the attachments each day for thirty minutes or an hour, or twice a day - as the body rests.
Keep all of these applications for six weeks, as indicated. Then we would give further instructions.
Ready for questions.
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1/13/36 Friend, Mr. [1113], requested the Physical Reading, asking that all correspondence be directed to him regarding Mr. [1110].

REPORTS

3/02/36 Mr. [257]'s letter to EC:
Mr. Edgar Cayce, 3046 Webb Avenue Detroit, Mich
Dear Judge:
I have just learned that you are in Detroit and I want to give you the history of a very recent case as I thought it would make you very happy to know what you have been able to do for a man here in New York.
I met Mr. [1113] of ... Stores of New York in Chicago a few months ago. Mr. [1113] is the president of a four and a half million dollar concern. He informed me that he had a very sick friend living in Long Island. The man's name and address was given to me without any discussion of the man's illness. You gave a psychic diagnosis by only having the name and address of the patient. We received the diagnosis last Friday morning, Mr. [1113], his wife and myself and Mr. [1113]'s secretary, went out to see Mr. [1110], discussed the case with him and advised him to go and see a doctor. He saw the doctor Saturday morning. The doctor found an impingement on his spine just as the Reading stated. That he did not have a heart condition that other specialists stated he had but that he did have a liver condition which was also mentioned in the reading. The Reading said the man had had an accident. He remembers that when he was a young child he fell out of a third story window and was confined to his bed for a number of weeks. Dr. Dobbins, 551-5th Ave. examined him last Saturday morning.
What the results of the reading and the treatments are going to be depends upon how the body reacts. But, I think it was very wonderful that you were able to diagnose the condition and Mr. [1113] and Mr. [1110] were able to feel this impingement or growth on the spine which the doctor pointed out was the most important condition contributing to his present illness. Especially, that you have never seen any of the parties mentioned and know nothing about the conditions except what I am writing you now, which, of course is confirmed by the Reading.
I have mentioned names and addresses to you so that if any of the investigators of the Association would like to get in touch with these people they are at liberty to do so. Of course, Mr. [1113] is now a member of the Association and so is Mr. [1110] and will be glad to exchange the usual information as we do among the members.
They wanted several other readings for friends. I informed them that Readings are only given to members of the Association. You will probably hear from some of them soon. Please let me know when you expect to be in New York.
With kindest personal regards, believe me Cordially, [257]
3/11/36 "Dr. Dobbins is doing well this far with the patient of [1113]'s, Mr. [1110]. They are daily awaiting you."
3/13/36 Mr. [257]'s letter:
Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Judge:
Mr. [1113] came in today and asked me to send these questions down to you as they were written up by Mr. [1110]. Mr. [1113] wants the reading to go to him so that if anything should be said that might upset him, he might be told of it through the doctors. Dr. Dobbins is taking care of the case and Mr. [1113] informs me that both Dr. Dobbins and the regular doctor say that the patient is better. The patient is in a low mental state and does not feel that anything is doing him any good, but Mr. [1113] wants to build up his mental state as well as his physical and then everyone here will know about it. These are the questions Mr. [1113] suggests today through Mr. [1110]:
1: - Please review the physical and mental condition and advise whether I have improved since my last reading. 2: - Advise physical reaction to osteopathic treatments which have been given by Dr. Dobbins. 3: - Are Osteopathic treatments being given correctly 4: - Has condition improved since treatment started 5: - What further recommendations do you make for the further improvement of the body 6: - What changes of present treatment are recommended if any 7: - What should the diet of the body be? 8: - What exercises should the body take 9: - Any change in the medicinal remedies that he is now taking. 10: - What will aid the mental attitude of the body to help the physical get well. 11: - Why does the body perspire so freely 12: - Why is neck pulse so rapid 13: - What causes the coughing What will relieve it? 14: - Why does the tired feeling come to the body particularly in the legs 15: - What causes the difficulty in the breathing and what will relieve it. 16: - Is my liver shrinking and what is my kidney condition Is it improving? 17: - Shall I continue with a lot of bed rest or what hours should I spend in bed and what hours should I spend up? 18: - What will aid my restlessness 19: - What will assist my sleeping 20: - What is the attitude of the patient toward the sources of this information which is all new to me. 21: - Can there be any definite experience come to the body that will give me confidence that this source of information will be helpful to me.
Please give this reading as soon as you can and let me know when.
With kind regards, Cordially, [257]
3/13/36 Mr. [1110]'s wife wrote that the Radio-Active Appl. had not been rec'd.
3/14/36 Mr. [257]'s letter see under 1111-2 Reports in re Mr. [1111]'s death dampening Mr. [1113]'s enthusiasm about EC's work.
3/16/36 EC's letter to Mr. [257]: "Will make the appt. as soon as possible but am very sure there should be time enough for them to have all the tr., and that they have not had as yet, for the Appliance has just been sent and that, while it works slow, will make a lot of difference. However, will write Mr. [1113] at once."
3/21/36 Mr. [1113]'s wire: "Prefer rdg. now and another ck. rdg. after following whole outline suggested. Five dollar ck. forwarded today. Send rdg. to [1110] care of me."
