Edgar Cayce Readings, 1234-2

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body, [1234].
As we find, conditions are improved and there may be said to be rather those instructions or counsels as to the care of the body in this recuperative state; the warnings and the suggestions for helpful measures.
For those conditions that have attacked the body, in the form of the bacillus that affects the blood stream, the locomotory activities, affect the system through the pulmonary reactions or the lymph circulation through same - as with the digestive forces, as from the measures necessary for the removal of much of these disturbances.
If there are precautions taken that make for constructive thinking, constructive activity, and the nominal, normal influences for an active service, we may find that daily reactions from active service would be more helpful to the body than the mental attitudes towards conditions, the removal of those environments that make for the worries and the influences about same.
Be mindful in the diet.
Be mindful in the manner in which too great a stimuli of a destructive nature is used. Do not so overtax the system as to allow stresses to become as acute.
In the diet keep to an eighty percent alkalin to twenty percent acid reacting. Beware of combinations, as starches that are of the natures of great combinations of same without sufficient of the lactics for the digestion. Or do not have potatoes, spaghetti, rice and white bread at the same meal with a lot of meat. Do not have quantities of citrus fruit juices with proteins or sweets. These make for combinations that become hard upon the system.
Keep the feet dry. Do not take cold by overheating or overactivity in drafts.
Do these in a nominal way and manner, keeping those protective measures as indicated for the body, and we will find the better conditions existent BY ACTIVITY of the body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) How soon can I go back to business?
(A) How soon can you get ready?
(Q) Is my physical condition such that I will be able to continue?
(A) Will be able to continue if there are the precautionary measures taken as has been indicated.
(Q) Shall I return to my usual vocation, and what are the prospects for a profitable connection?
(A) We would return to the same vocation, for in these activities the body would find the greater enjoyment, the greater abilities and the connections may be made through the same lines that have been held heretofore.
(Q) Will I have any trouble from my present source of income?
(A) This depends, to be sure, upon the activities, the choices made and those things that become as the activities of the body. But follow in those things as indicated. Remember that constructive means not taking advantage ANYWHERE; not of yourself, not of your neighbor, and most of all remember thy duty to thy Maker. And thy duty to thy Maker and thy fellow man is as one.
We are through with this reading.

He eats Rice-potatoes-spaghetti and bread at the same meal and says he loves it. He is also an old ... man and was with us when [619] was - so they are all coming back again.
