Edgar Cayce Readings, 1161-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1161].
As we find, there are specific disturbances in the physical forces of the body. These produce effects upon the nervous system and in such reactions upset the body in many ways.
These we find have to do primarily with conditions existent in the pelvic organs.
Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1161] we are speaking of:
THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this indicates there is a great deal of anxiety manifested in the nerve forces of the body at times. Those tendencies for heaviness and bearing down pains through the lower portions of the body, tendencies for the slowing of the circulation through the lower extremities.
At times this with the reaction is the cause primarily of the headaches of the nature on top of the head, as well as those in the temple at other times.
IN THE NERVE FORCES OF THE BODY, as has been indicated, existent conditions produce the pressures upon the nerve system. Rather than the nerve system being the basis or cause of same, the effects through same make for taxations to the digestive forces, those reactions in other portions of the body as indicated.
THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, most of these become disturbed, but may be relieved through correction of the conditions in the pelvis and through the activity of the functioning of the organs there. Those suppressions arise from lack of proper elimination. The extreme pains through which the body passes at such periods of elimination, all of these make for those conditions that become disturbing, as well as the effect from those things that are used or applied at such times for bringing relief for the body.
Then, as we find, there is the adherence of tissue about the organs in the pelvis.
The uterus itself is in a condition where adherence and conditions of tissue become irritated to such measures that these cause or produce the greater disturbance for the body.
For these, as we find, it is not necessary that there be operative forces. However, unless there are some LOCAL applications and treatments and the applications necessary to reduce these disturbances, operative forces would be necessitated - but they would be of such a nature that they would NOT be very good, for such measures would only OPEN the way for greater disturbances through various portions, or the backing up of poisons to other portions of the system through the Fallopian tubes and through the ovaries themselves and through the functionings of the system where poisons would be collected then - if those conditions are to remain.
AS WE FIND, THEN, IN THE PRESENT, first we would begin with douches that would be warm, not too hot but warm, of the Atomidine solution - in these proportions: To a quart of tepid water add a tablespoonful of Atomidine regular strength. Use same rather in the Fountain douche than in the spiral or a forced douche, see? retaining the water as long as is possible; that is, for a few minutes, of course, at a time before expulsion of same.
After these have been used once a day for five days, then we would begin with manipulative forces as would be given through osteopathic adjustments particularly in the sacral and the lumbar areas, though we would coordinate other centers in the 9th dorsal, the upper dorsal and throughout the cervical area with these, making PARTICULAR adjustments about the end of the cerebrospinal system - or in the coccyx area; for here the nerves or muscular forces as produce the contraction through the area become more and more in connection or association with those pressures produced in the body.
Then, after a month's treatment, twice to three times each week, if the condition is RELIEVED it may not be necessary even for LOCAL PACKS - that may be applied in making for corrective forces in the areas themselves.
Also we find that the clearing of these conditions will tend to correct those tendencies for the effect of sedatives upon the digestive system, where through the position of the stomach itself there tends to be the slowing of foods through same. Hence the applications of the adjustments will be for the correcting of these areas also, and we will find there will be a clearing of those conditions that tend to make for disturbing factors there.
Do these and, as we find, other disturbing forces that have been effective in the lymph circulation through face, head and neck and other portions where disturbances arise will be eliminated.
Then the conditions are to produce first a more equal coordination of all portions of the bodily functioning forces, removing the pressures that CAUSE these disturbances in the organs of the pelvis, as well as those that are of a sympathetic nature in the solar plexus center, the brachial and upper portion of the vagus centers. All of these would be clarified.
Do this.
In the matter of the diet, keep those things that make for rather an alkalin-reaction. Refrain from foods that are fried; in oils or fats. Not too great a quantity of starches, especially starches with sweets; that is, pastries and potatoes should not be taken at the same meal. If they are to be taken, let them be taken at separate or different meals, see? At least one meal each day should consist only of raw vegetables.
Do these and we will find better conditions for this body.
Ready for questions, [1161].
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

5/05/36 Husband's letter to GD: "On Thursday, May 7th, Mr. Cayce is to give a reading on [1161] at the above address. I would like to have one question asked at that time and that is whether an operation is advisable."
