Edgar Cayce Readings, 1305-4

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes.
As we find, so long as there is life there is hope. Yet the adjustments of the body under the distresses of portions of the system being under pressure continue to make for aggravating conditions.
Then, as we have indicated, little other than that being administered may be done under the present environs and surroundings.
But STILL - as we find - helpful forces may be better administered under those directions or suggestions as have already been indicated.
These we would do, if there is the opportunity for the administering of those things already given.
Ready for questions.
(Q) How soon will it be safe to permit him to leave the hospital?
(A) This depends entirely upon the manner in which conditions existent may be cared for under other environments. If there are those arrangements such that there may be almost as close care as is under the existent conditions, with those changes for the body - but very carefully given - the sooner the better it would be.
(Q) What can be done to perk up his appetite?
(A) Very little until there can be the eliminations set up. For until the system is reacting so that it REQUIRES the movements throughout the assimilating system, there can be but little desire for foods.
As we would find, too large quantities are attempted to be administered. These should be very little but given then the more often.
(Q) What is cause of present paralysis in tongue and throat?
(A) The same conditions - those pressures upon the nerve ganglia that receive their impulse from those areas as has been indicated, and that reflex from those in the portions of the system as given. And the clots have NOT been absorbed, but there are the tendencies where the leakages have been for coagulation to produce the tissue that makes it the HARDER to remove the longer the pressure remains.
(Q) How long will it be before throat condition is relieved?
(A) How long will it be before the applications will be made for the relieving? THEN there must be the response! This is like asking how long before tomorrow, how long before the change of this or that! These depend upon activities that make for coordinations in a living active organism - as yet.
We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

4/25/37 Mrs. [1337]'s reply to Questionnaire:
(1) In your opinion did the analysis of the Reading cover the condition? Yes. The suggestions were not followed because the physician on the case would not cooperate - and each time they were ready to dismiss the physician & follow the suggestions - Mr. [1305] had a serious set back making it impossible to dismiss him.
7/07/37 Mrs. [1337]'s letter: "Am writing regarding my brother-in-law, [1305]. Much time has elapsed and there have been changes for the better. They have discontinued the physician. Mr. [1305] is able to walk, with assistance, around the block. He goes for a long auto ride daily, his mind is clear, but he does not speak. They were moving to ... (to my folks) because they are unable to keep up the expense, but today they went to Ann Arbor, Mich. to the University Hospital to consult with a well known physician who told them upon examination that he thinks he can re educate Mr. [1305] to talk. He says that he has had other similar cases which he treated successfully. This is the questions we want to ask. Can the information tell what the possibilities are for Mr. [1305] to regain his speech by the physician's method of re-education? or according to the past readings should the methods prescribed in previous readings be followed now. Is the possibility still there or are there other treatments?"
