Edgar Cayce Readings, 1410-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1410].
Now as we find, while many conditions are very good, there are disturbances the correction of which in the present would make for much better physical reactions and prevent a distress later on that might be hard to reckon with.
These conditions as we find arise from changes that are arising in the normal physical life as related to the functioning of the glandular system and its effect upon the general organism.
These are the conditions then as we find them in the present with this body, [1410] we are speaking of:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find an inclination for superacidity as well as an activity in the glandular forces that produces too much sugar. Thus the organs of the hepatic circulation become involved.
This inclination, if allowed to continue, may produce the greater distress through the activity of the pancreas as well as the kidneys and the whole of the eliminating system.
From these conditions we find there arises in the nervous system the periods when there are dizzy spells. If the body suddenly moves or if the body is overly fatigued physically or mentally these occur; and those tendencies for the sudden drying of the salivary glands and a little nausea in the pit of the stomach.
These arise from these conditions that are indicated in or from the blood stream.
Hence we find a low resistance in the blood forces, owing to the excesses of poisons that are left in the system by the non-activity and the overactivity of portions of the glandular system.
IN THE ACTIVITY OF THE NERVOUS FORCES, we find those conditions along the cerebrospinal system, especially in the area of the 9th and 8th dorsal center, such that a subluxation is produced - and a pressure upon same.
This HAS produced, as with those changes in the activities through the pelvic system and the pelvic organs, from a condition that exists in the nervous system, in the 4th lumbar the deflection of activity in the bodily functions.
These corrected, with changes as indicated that have begun in the activity of the organs - as in the glandular forces of the adrenals, the pancreas, the thyroid - will change from this weakness that occurs and from this inclination for the excesses of the activities that disturb the metabolism as well as the katabolism of the system itself.
IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, those as indicated have become involved, as well as those in the sensory forces or the sensory organisms become involved at times.
These are more noticeable after those periods of dizziness; as with the eyes, the ears, the taste, and the general feelings that are manifested through the sensory forces themselves; and these hot and cold sensations that at times appear, especially in the night when the body is aroused from the nominal or normal sleep by the disturbing forces in the hepatic circulation.
These are the periods when these are the more noticeable.
IN THE MAKING, THEN, FOR CORRECTIVE FORCES AS WE WOULD FIND FOR THIS BODY, [1410]:
First, we would have those corrections made OSTEOPATHICALLY in the dorsal area - 8th and 9th specific - and the 4th lumbar; coordinating, to be sure, at such times the brachial as well as the upper cervical with the changes produced by the adjustments in the dorsal and lumbar areas.
Such manipulations would be given about twice a week for three weeks, with a rest period from same then of a week to two weeks; and then given for three to four weeks more.
For the equalization of the circulation we would use the Radio-Active Appliance, on opposite extremities of the body, each evening just before retiring - for one hour. Or it may be used for about thirty minutes of a morning, if there is the tendency for the dizziness or the weakness; and in the evening about forty to fifty minutes. The Appliance should be prepared and be in the ice at least twenty minutes before attached to the body. Do not attach too tightly but very firmly; and keep the plates or anodes very clean.
Then the DIET: The precautions as to the diet for this body become most necessary.
DO NOT take too much starches. Do not take too much of sweets of any nature. More of the honey than of other sweets. Not too much of condiments or highly seasoned foods. But rather an outline according to this:
Mornings - citrus fruit juices or dry cereals with fruit; but do not take cereals and citrus fruits at the same meal.
Noons - preferably only raw vegetables or broths - preferably of vegetables; not combined with meats, but meat broth may be taken at other periods or on other days instead of the raw vegetables or the vegetables broths.
Evenings - meats should only be fowl, fish or lamb. The leafy vegetables are preferable to the pod. Let one meal each day, preferably in the evening, include the artichoke - and preferably the Jerusalem variety; for this carries more of the properties that will act with the glandular forces in correcting the activity of the pancreas and reducing the pressure as related to the blood supply and assist in the eliminations through the kidneys.
Keep away from too much cathartics. Preferably use enemas with soda and salt, and the water the temperature of the body. The proportions would be half a teaspoonful of Baking Soda and a heaping teaspoonful of Table Salt to half a gallon of water, body temperature. Enemas taken in this manner will not make strains upon the system.
At times use Eno Salt for a few days; a level teaspoonful of morning before the meal is taken. This will tend to make for clearing the system and produce the better conditions and the activities for the periods of change that are coming about in the experience of this body.
Do that.
Ready for questions.
We are through for the present.
