Edgar Cayce Readings, 1490-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1490], present in this room.
Now as we find, while the disturbing conditions are insidious, or somewhat hidden, and produce in the system disturbing conditions that may prove not only aggravating but even at times terrifying and disfiguring somewhat the physical reactions - if allowed to remain, these may be brought to a near or a PERFECT normal condition for the body; if the conditions are taken in hand so as to bring about a removal of the causes.
The glandular system is that disturbed, and is the effect as we find in conditions indicated in the pigmentation of the body in various portions of the body, and under different circumstances. Yet these arise from not those of prenatal conditions nor those that may not be corrected.
While this will take a little time, precautions and persistence, these conditions may be eradicated from the system.
These then are the conditions as we find them with this body, [1490] we are speaking of, present in this room; first:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, here we find, owing to conditions that have first caused the disturbance, there is the appearance of a split or an incoordinant activity of the superficial and the deep circulation, or through the very activities organs are overactive and glands - especially the INNER activity of the thyroid - UNDERACTIVE.
Hence the effect, owing to the very nature of the pressure, is activative upon the glands above and about the kidneys as not coordinant with the glands in the throat or the thyroid and thymus glands.
FROM THE NERVE CONDITION, we find there exists a pressure in the 6th and 7th dorsal, also in the END of the spine - or the coccyx. These pressures first produced an unbalanced condition in the nerve system and especially in those periods at eighteen months to two and a half to three years, an irritation.
Now: the reactions from this, with the quieting of the body, through applications made of various natures, have brought - in the last six to eight to nine months - a GREATER activity in the superficial circulation.
AS TO THE ACTIVITY PRODUCED UPON THE ORGANS THEMSELVES OF THE BODY, the subluxation in the dorsal center, and a circular lesion in the lower end of the spine or the coccyx, make for nerve pressures that have deflected the activity of the organs.
The mental reactions, or the brain forces, are very good.
There has been produced a slowing of reaction through the throat, bronchi, lungs, larynx - yes, and to the organs of the sensory system; especially in the sensory system.
While the vision is good, there is a slow reaction as to WHAT is the perception. Also in the hearing, while it is acute, sufficient - that is, efficient; there are periods when there are lapses - not to a great extent but just so as to be noticeable, by tests - if they were made in these directions - as to just what is meant.
There is the slow reaction in the sense of touch, in the sense of feeling, as to just what IS the reaction.
These are purely SYMPATHETIC conditions, and with the removal of the pressures and with the activities to the body as will produce the NORMAL activity of the organs disturbed, or the nerve system disturbed, we will restore normalcy for the body.
The heart's activity is near to normal.
Digestive system we find at times upset. Naturally, from glandular reaction there are periods when there are disagreements as to combinations in foods; there is the lack of that assimilation in the lacteal ducts as of a sympathetic nature.
The rest of the system we find very good, save as has been indicated from the pressures upon the glands above the kidneys that produce disturbances here at times. UNCONTROLLED at times they become, at others there is the proper reaction. But this produces then a strain upon the system.
NOW, IN MAKING APPLICATIONS AS WE FIND FOR THE REMOVAL OF THESE DISTURBANCES, first we would have a series of manipulations Osteopathically given, correcting - specifically - the centers indicated; in the dorsal and in the coccyx end. Not too severe in the beginning with these, but make them sufficiently often, and for sufficient length of periods that the adjustments ARE made removing the pressures in the system.
Hence the first series as we find would be twice a week, or the first two weeks we would say three times a week, and then for the next three weeks twice a week. Then leave off the Osteopathic adjustments until we specify them again.
At the same time the adjustments are begun, begin with taking each morning (not only the days when the adjustments are made but EACH morning), before the morning meal, ONE MINIM of Atomidine in half a glass of water. Just ONE DROP; this given preferably from a medicine dropper - a full drop, but just ONE drop! This activity is to be upon the glandular system, especially upon the thyroids - which, of course, supply the growth of the nails, the hair, the cuticle, all portions of the superficial activity of the lymph circulation being affected by the activity of this particular functioning of the gland. Just as the activity of same to the growth, to the kidneys, to the other forces is through the adrenals and the thymus and pineal. Now these properties will act upon ALL of these, and will - with the proper adjustments osteopathically as given - have the desired reaction.
When the series of the adjustments has been finished, as given, then leave these off - also leave off the Atomidine.
THEN begin with the application of the low vibratory forces of the Wet Cell Appliance carrying Chloride of Gold into the system. The attachments would be made as follows:
The small or copper plate would be attached first, to the 8th and 9th dorsal plexus; while the larger or nickel plate - through which the Gold Solution passes (in the proportions of two grains Chloride of Gold to each ounce of Distilled Water) would be attached last, to the umbilicus and lacteal duct center. THIS acts also upon the glandular force, but PURIFIES the system as well as acting with the general assimilating system. Make the attachments in this manner each day for about twenty minutes, for a period of two weeks. Keep the plates very clean.
Then when this series is finished - that is, when the two weeks have passed - we would give the further instructions for the CHARACTER of adjustments, for medicinal things that would be necessary, or for the activities of the system.
In the matter of the diets, keep these well balanced in the body, blood and nerve building. Here especially would we find that the cod liver oil would be a beneficial condition in keeping away cold. This preferably as WE find for this body would be taken in the White's Cod Liver Oil tablets. This would be easy for the body to take and not hard to take. These tablets would be taken twice each day, one after the morning meal and one after the evening meal, during the WHOLE PERIOD of these applications as have been indicated.
Dry Milk is preferable to cow's milk for the body. Whole wheat cereals or whole wheat and rye combined in cereals are better for the body.
Fish, fowl and lamb are the better meats; NOT fried. Especially vegetables of the bulbous nature; as peas, carrots, beans, lentils and the like. NOT spinach, for this body!
The oyster plant, the Jerusalem artichoke occasionally - once a week sufficient for this; this adds adrenalin and is that which will keep down accumulations and prepare the activity of the glands - especially the spleen, the liver, the pancreas - and work well with the balancing of the sugar content for the system.
These do, and after the periods of the Wet Cell Appliance, we would give further instructions for this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Will her hair regain its natural color?
(A) It will, as will the spots disappear; not only from the body and the exposed places on body but on other portions as well. The general development, the general mien will come to near normal.
Occasionally a thorough massage with Olive Oil is good for the body. This only as skin food, gently massaged - not just along portions but all over the body. This once a week, once in ten days - but at least that often - through this whole period.
(Q) Is her stammering related to this condition?
(A) Secondary, for as has been given this is an indication of that slowing activity of the sensory forces. And when the corrections are made in the dorsal, as given, to be SURE give a coordination of same through the upper dorsals and throughout the cervical areas; adjustments in the specific centers, the general adjustments throughout, which relieve the pressures and make a coordination of the activities for the principles to act upon those forces that are deficient or overactive in the body.
(Q) Was she born with this condition?
(A) As just given; during that period of eighteen months, when there was the disturbance that caused the pressures in the areas. These began a deflection, and then this is the development of the unbalanced condition in the salts of the body and the deficiency of the activity of the glands.
(Q) What produced these pressures?
(A) As just indicated.
Do as we have given, and at the end of the period outlined we would give further instructions.
(Q) Will I have to have a doctor's prescription?
(A) No doctor is necessary for prescriptions. Buy a bottle of commercial size, commercial strength Atomidine.
The adjustments, to be sure, must be made by a doctor. WE would give Schoelles.
When these have been carried this far, as indicated, we would give further instructions. For this is a SUBTLE condition, and we will meet the conditions as they arise by the changes that are necessary. For any deflection of the glandular system, especially where the thyroid is concerned, will need watching and the applications changed to meet the needs. But DO NOT give this body any GLANDULAR extracts while these treatments are being given! Glandular cleansings, glandular strengthening may be necessary later, but the cleansing is necessary first.
The strengthening forces now are to be in the diets, and the deficiency in the forces to cleanse the glands will be supplied in the Atomidine, and the purifying of the system will be by the corrections and by the applications of the Gold that will work with not only the rebuilding of nerve tissue destroyed but in building that necessary for the strengthening of the glandular system.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

12/24/37 Dr. Schoelles' ltr.: "[1490] is progressing nicely."
1/18/38 Dr. Schoelles' ltr.: "[1490] has finished with her first series of treatments and is now using the battery. The corrections seem to remain in better condition the last two or three treatments and I was well satisfied that the work was well done. Mrs. [1498] reports that [1490] seems to thoroughly enjoy the battery and relaxes so well under it that she will not speak above a whisper. The skin condition seemed to be some better. Whether or not this is due to the lack of exposure to the sun is difficult to say at this time. She ought to have another reading as soon as she finishes with the battery so as to determine how she has progressed."
