Edgar Cayce Readings, 1544-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body, Miss [1544].
Now as we find, there are disturbing conditions which prevent the normal or the better physical functionings through the body.
The corrections and the applications as we find would be rather as correctives and as preventatives of disturbances that may arise from the disturbing INFLUENCES which manifest in the present.
For with the pressures that are shown in the coccyx area of the cerebrospinal system, and the deflection that this causes (with this pressure), and the conditions that it hinders in the glandular activity, gradually increasing the pressures in the reflexes from the brachial centers - unless there ARE corrections, and the adding to the system of those properties that would bring the better glandular activity through the system, and a clarifying of conditions, we would gradually have the disturbance growing to that which would become arthritic in its nature.
As in the present, with continued use of the hands, the wrists, or when there are sudden changes in the atmospheric pressure, we find that the wrists, the arms, the elbows CAUSE disturbance.
This as we find is neuritic in its reaction, neurotic through the system, yet is of a deeper cause, as has been indicated, by the pressures that prevent the glandular forces forming the proper reactions that cause the flow of the lymph through the areas from the brachial center. But the PRESSURE IS IN THE COCCYX, and lower LUMBAR and SACRAL AREA!
These have not as yet produced other than overanxiety to the sympathetic nervous system, and stress upon the activity of the organs as related to activities when these distresses have and do come.
Then as we find, in making such corrections as will eliminate the causes from the system, FIRST - as WE find - it would be better to remove some of the effects that have been produced; THEN BY THE ADJUSTMENTS and applications for the physical forces we may make the corrections in such a manner that the system will adjust itself for normal activity through the relationships of the glandular forces to the secretions of the plasm that works with the lymph AND the white blood supply in areas where stress HAS been created; and the character of adhesions produced rather than lesions, that - through the pressures in the nerve system, in the manners indicated - cause the greater disturbance.
First, then, we would begin with small quantities of a combination of Chloride of Gold Solution and Bicarbonate of Soda Solution being taken in the system. Have the two Solutions prepared and kept separate, in this manner:
The Chloride of Gold Solution would be in the proportions of ONE grain of Chloride of Gold to ONE OUNCE of Distilled Water. One to two grains would be sufficient to have prepared. Keep this as one solution.
Then the Bicarbonate of Soda Solution would be in the proportions of THREE grains to ONE OUNCE of Distilled Water. Keep this in another Solution.
Of an evening, just before retiring, the dosage would be ONE DROP of the Chloride of Gold Solution and TWO DROPS of the Bicarbonate of Soda Solution stirred together in half a glass of water and taken immediately. Do not combine these until ready to take.
After this dosage has been in the system, say twenty to thirty minutes, then use the HAND Violet Ray over the cerebrospinal system for a minute to a minute and a half; not longer. Begin particularly across the lower portion of the cerebrospinal system, or the sacral area, and work upward in a circular motion on either side of the cerebrospinal system to those portions of the brachial center - just between the shoulders - on up to the neck.
Continue these each evening - the same dosage of the properties, and the Violet Ray used in the manner indicated - regularly for ten days.
Then leave off for ten days.
Then begin again; THIS time taking TWO DROPS of the Gold Solution and FOUR DROPS of the Soda Solution.
And THIS time make more SPECIFIC application of the Violet Ray in the axis of the lumbar, or where the cerebrospinal system joins specifically with the sacral axis; and also in the area from the 1st and 2nd dorsal to the 3rd cervical; and, of course, a little about the neck and the rest of the system; but in these areas the more specific as indicated.
THEN, when THESE have been taken for a period of ten days, leave off for a period of FIVE DAYS.
THEN have OSTEOPATHICALLY made the ADJUSTMENTS in the lumbar axis and in the coccyx area.
By the time six or eight adjustments are made in the manner indicated - lumbar axis, through the sacral and coccyx area, and to be sure coordinating the rest of the system - we would find these conditions, their causes, disappearing.
Throughout the whole period be mindful of the diet; that there is not too great a quantity of starches taken at any time.
Keep the eliminations through those activities in the alimentary canal. Do not use cathartics but rather keep such eliminations by the diet and the use of colonic irrigations.
Do these, if we would bring the normal forces for this body.
If these are administered consistently, persistently, we will find they will rid the system of the inclinations and those disturbances; not only for the conditions through the arms and hands but create better activity in assimilating, better activity in those influences as related to the disturbances that have at times been caused from the activity of the pelvic organs - or the genitive system.
Do these things for this body, Miss [1544].
Ready for questions.
(Q) Why is the whole of my right hand stiffer than the left?
(A) Because the pressure is more ADHESIVE in the centers from which the impulse arises to the activity of the wrist or right wrist and hand.
This causes greater distress in that particular area.
But if that which has CAUSED the condition will be removed from the glandular system through the activity of the electrical forces from the hand Violet Ray as indicated, upon the Soda and Gold effect in the glandular system, THEN the corrections made osteopathically as indicated, we will find all of these disturbances will be eliminated.
(Q) As I have tried several kinds of osteopathic treatments, can you suggest an osteopath who will give these treatments as suggested?
(A) If these will be given in the area indicated, and not just through the dorsal and cervical, these will be correct. PRESSURES exist in the LOWER LUMBAR, through the SACRAL AND COCCYX!
But the applications of those properties and those vibratory forces as indicated are necessary to CLEANSE the system, so that with the corrections normalcy will gradually and again ensue through the activity of the whole of the body.
Do that.
We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

2/19/38 Letter: "I have had a trouble for several years. It causes me great unhappiness, and if Mr. Cayce could suggest a cure it would alter my whole life."

REPORTS

2/28/38 Miss [1510]'s mother's letter: "Miss [1544] is very happy over her reading."
3/02/38 Miss [1544]'s card from ship sailing to England: Very sorry to give impression I was not going to thank you for such a helpful reading, as I was extremely glad to get it. I had the intention to write to you on Berengaria while sailing home, as I rather wrote to you at last minute, & have not had a moment to breathe there last few days. I never expected so much detailed information & as I have been trying to be a pianist for years with this trouble, which began after a fall playing tennis, you can imagine how yr message gave me more courage & hope. Writing from ship. [1544]
