Edgar Cayce Readings, 1445-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1445].
As we find, conditions are very disturbing; and these are of such a complication that all those experiences through which the entity has passed must be taken at least partially into consideration, for complete understanding. But in the meeting of the disturbances in the present, these as we find would not necessarily be a part of the applications for corrective or helpful measures.
While the first causes of infections arose from external injuries, and the applications produced rather that of more infection by the lack of proper consideration and proper sterilization at the time, conditions in the present as we find are as these:
First, there is in the blood stream the tendency and the inclination for infectious forces to become segregated; as is indicated by conditions in the pelvis as well as that which prevents the activities in the head, neck, face; as well as the lower extremities from which these conditions first arose.
As we find, it will be necessary then, when there have been those purifications of the blood stream sufficient by the tests of the coagulative forces, for operative measures to be used to remove those TUMOROUS conditions in the pelvic organs.
Specific directions for preparing the body for the operation - these are under the supervision of those who would operate. There should be made for the better coagulations before operative measures are undertaken. But this should be the end of operations, if the applications as we will give are carried forward.
Then, some two and one-half weeks after the operative measures (not before), we would begin to apply the low electrical vibrations from the Wet Cell Appliance for creating that which will become creative in its activity upon the organs of assimilation and for the purifying and making for better activity of the glandular system; for the correction of those conditions that have been of longer standing by the pressure upon the nervous system, thus causing a static condition between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic systems.
Hence we would relieve those conditions by the use of the Appliance carrying one day the Gold Solution, the next day the Atomidine Solution, the next day the Camphor Solution. Take the Appliance for thirty minutes each day, alternating the Solutions in the manner indicated; continuing for the full twenty-eight days; then rest from same a period of three to five days; then begin again.
The attachments would be made in these manners:
The first day, the small plate would be attached first, to the 4th lumbar; while the larger plate through which the Gold Solution passes (three grains of the Chloride of Gold to each ounce of Distilled Water) would be attached last, to the umbilicus and lacteal duct center; so that the activity is upon the assimilating forces of the bodily functions.
The next day, the small plate would be attached first, to the 2nd and 3rd cervical center; while the larger plate through which the Atomidine passes (in full commercial strength) would be attached last, to the 9th dorsal center.
The third day, the larger plate through which the Spirits of Camphor Solution passes would be attached FIRST, to the cardiac plexus of the frontal portion - that is, the cup or that through which the Solution passes would be attached first, to the cardiac plexus of the stomach or in the front; while the smaller plate would be attached last, to the 4th and 5th dorsal.
Continue alternating the Solutions and the attachments in this manner. The application each day would be for thirty minutes; but only begin with these about two and one-half weeks AFTER the operative measures have been carried forward.
Also each day FOLLOWING the Appliance treatment, we would have the massage Neuropathically or Osteopathically given, to relieve those tensions that prevent the body from full activity of the face, the neck, the body, the limbs.
These as we find, applied in their proper coordinant way and manner, would bring curative forces and EVENTUALLY produce ALMOST normalcy in the reaction; save where such destructive forces have been carried on by tissue that has become stayed in its activity in the system - but would prevent further operations, further creations of activity as would produce these segregations in the system, in the body.
In the diets: These we would keep more in a well-combined balance between the acids and the alkalines, but those that would be easily assimilated; or keep to liquids and semi-liquids in the better part of the applications.
Every twenty-eight days recharge the Appliance; change each Solution. Do not leave any anodes IN the solution when not giving the treatment. Connect only about three to five minutes before the attachments are made to the body. Keep all plates clean.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What should be my system of life in the United States and in Salvador, and how long should I stay in the United States?
(A) This becomes rather the problem for the body. As we find, if first the applications for physical corrections and physical help are carried forward, these will produce in the experience of the body, gradually, a different outlook upon its associations, its activities, in this material experience.
Hence the sojourn in the United States should be at least for six to twelve weeks; until decisions then might be made.
Let the body-mind continue in the attitude of seeking for the SPIRITUAL awakening. Know that each experience in this material plane is, if used in a constructive manner, FOR SOUL DEVELOPMENT! For He (God) hath not willed that any soul should perish. While the trials, the temptations, the sufferings come; and oft may the body ask self, "If the Creative Force or God is mindful of man, why does He allow me to suffer so?"
Know that though He were the Son, yet learned He obedience through the things suffered in body, in mind, in the material or earthly plane.
No servant, then, is greater than the Master.
Then, looking to Him who is the author, the finisher of life, GIVE that in self to seeking the greater understanding of thy relationships to Creative Forces as they may be manifested in thy dealings with thy fellow man.
We are through for the present.

9/17/37 Mr. [531]'s letter to EC:
Friend Cayce:
I could not make the appointment for to-day Monday as this lady was at the Hospital. Now here is the story - this woman has had 37 operations, drainage of pus in her legs, on side of face etc. etc. etc. She has a will power worth something, that's why I said to her that jointly with doctors report I would like a psychic report.
She came from Salvador seeking health, if it can be bought, and her diagnosis has been OSTOMEALITIS [Osteomyelitis]. Her Wasserman is negative, and all I know is that she has been through the mills.
She is available Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday - the last two days anytime in the morning or noon, the Tuesday, that is tomorrow late in the evening. I suggest you wire - MISS [1445] [Born Dec. 15, 1898] PHILADELPHIA PA
BE READY FOR MATTER DISCUSSED [531] IN YOUR ROOM AT THIS ADDRESS SUCH AND SUCH DATE FROM SUCH AND SUCH HOUR
SIGNED CAYCE
Now, I said "challenge" because if you can show her that TRUTH which is not found anywhere else, she will be happy. I told her that if she was curable she would be cured, if her sickness can be stopped before making further damage it would be done, if it were possible, to let her live more happily than before she would be made to live as such - that she had to have implicit confidence in my guidance and what you said
Her questions, are
1. Would more operations better my general condition?
2. Is my sickness curable or incurable, if curable, what ought to be my best way to attend to it physically?
3. What should be my system of life in the United States and in Salvador, and how long should I stay in the former country (United States).
4. Was the cause of my illness an infection of the knee or carelness [carelessness] in treatment.
She was treated for measles originally, Cayce, and while having this she fell down and had a tramaultism or broke her right knee cap, and this was an open wound for a year or so, since then, continuous drainage has been necessary occasionally, while all is healed, and scars are plainly shown there and on the other knee, face, etc (she cannot move her jaws, and she eats by chewing without any teeth, with her tongue - does not eat meat at all) she has the fear that she is to continue, year after year in one operation after another, wants to make if necessary one final operation, if it will clear or stop advance of her sickness.
X-Rays shows some sort of a tumor somewhere around her womb, and may be you can see something about this too -
[531]
9/22/37 Be ready for matter discussed [531] in your room at above address this morning ten-thirty, eleven-thirty Eastern Standard. Otherwise advise immediately. Chg. 259 - Straight.
At 11:50 Western Union reported no one home to accept the telegram, but they left message for answer to be given soon as she returned home. W.U. tried to get us on phone earlier, but Rdg. was in session.
At 2:00 P.M., Western Union phoned they had report on message, it had been delivered; probably about 30 minutes after first attempt.

REPORTS

9/24/37 EC's letter to Mr. [531]:
Dear [531]-
Hope the information proves of help, do not suspect the Gen practitioner will agree with the information for relief, but feel very sure from the information, will this be given a fair trial she will see wonderful results. This is one of the kind of cases that we need an institution where it might be followed just as is suggested but we can only hope for the best. Will be anxious to know your, as well as Miss [1445]'s reaction to the information, and will appreciate your writing me fully.
Thanking you and hoping to have been of a service
Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce
9/28/37 Mr. [531]'s letter to EC:
Dr. Edgar Cayce, Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Virginia Beach, Virginia
Dear Edgar:
I received yesterday the reading on Miss [1445], and I wish to inform you that your telegram arrived at a late date and she was not present in her place between the hours which you stated. However, my friend, it may interest you to know that precisely the statement which you make in the fourth paragraph of your reading is just the condition that is wrong with this lady.
In other words, I have here the X-Ray and report from the physicians and they find that she has a tumor in and about the region which you stipulate in your reading.
More power to you because, once more, you have hit the nail on the head.
[531]
9/30/37 EC's letter to [531]:
Dear [531];-
Thank you for yours of 28th, we were aware from the manner of approach in the reading that Miss [1445] was not in, but that the interest you had been able to arouse has made a contact with her. That there was the ability to verify the information is fine. Just hope she gets the desired results, and feel sure she will if they will carry out the suggestions given. That is the real proof.
Thanking you, and asking that you remember us very kindly to the young lady, [1228].
With all the best for you and yours
Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce
5/38 Mr. [531]'s reply to Questionnaire:
The lady - the X-Ray showed - had a tumor on and about the pelvic region, it was a large one and found somewhere around there, and she was operated and removed, and she never knew she had it, BUT for me, this was a most unfortunate experience, as this lady after I gave her all the best in me by way of service, considerations, attention, wrote me a very nasty letter from the hospital, as if I was using her for a play toy with the physicians. She turned out to be a "sour apple" for my kindness, and she appeared to be a trouble maker, I dropped her out of my program of service to others... [Hand-drawn picture included. See Par. R5 below.]

6/01/38 EC's letter to [531]:
Dear [531];-
How are you and yours - thanks very much for your report - my Oh My - how often are we all met with just such an experience as you when we try and help - but he was rejected of men - should we expect better treatment than HE??
About time for our meeting again - can't you and the Mrs. and the young lady [1228] make the Beach this year at that time? Would love to have you
With all good wishes
Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce
