Edgar Cayce Readings, 2519-7

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes - Now, conditions have changed materially since last we had the body here, [2519] - and not ALL of these have been for the best. There has been given the warnings as respecting cold feet, and the congestion as would and does affect that distress through the right side; also the pains as come from the reactions OF congestion through the organs of the pelvis.
The manipulations have NOT been kept in the manner given; neither have the ADJUSTMENTS nor the care been made for the body's best PHYSICAL forces as were outlined.
We would change, then, under the different changed surroundings, as to that as we would apply or give in the conditions existent. We would take, then, rather as this, medicinally - not that the adjustments and manipulations should not be used or given, when these may be taken PROPERLY, but that these - with the changed surroundings - will materially aid, as WELL as that constant thought as being held by the body of the recuperative forces being imminent in the physical forces of the body, and need only be brought to a physical consciousness for some to be manifested in the physical forces of the body; but we would take, then, as this:
Each evening, we would take at least five grains Carbonate [Bicarbonate?] of Soda.
Of mornings, we would take that of the Alophen, or the combination of those known AS Alophen - one pellet at least every other day, until there is the full reaction in the system of the drosses that needs be eliminated. This should require not more than three to five such doses.
Then take those of the hydrates, or the phosphate and hydrates. These will keep down the acidity, and as the changes in the weather and the general surroundings - these will bring the better conditions for the body. Ready for questions.
(Q) What causes soreness in stomach and intestines?
(A) Acidity.
(Q) Is appendix causing any trouble?
(A) No. Only reflexly.
(Q) Are treatments other than manipulations being given correctly?
(A) Hasn't been much other in some time!
(Q) What is causing pain in right breast and side?
(A) The acidity in system, as acts with those of the DIGESTIVE fluids, and the eating of those properties as needs that, in their digestion, they be carried into the system other than by assimilation.
(Q) Are the organs of the body physically fit to have children?
(A) Not as yet.
(Q) What treatments can be given to bring body to right condition?
(A) Correction of the general health of the body. The ORGANS OF the pelvis are NEARER in accord, but let's get the BLOOD in the proper condition and the general strength and vitality of the body in the proper accord.
(Q) How long should this take?
(A) Depends upon the manner in which it is applied! Keep it in the same way as it has been since last we had it, and it will be a long, long, time! Do as given, and we will find the body will be much bettered.
That is all the questions.
We are through with this series of readings.

4/16/30 EC's letter to [2519]:
Mrs. [2519] ..., Ohio
My dear Mrs. [2519]
I'm a long time answering yours of March 19th - almost a month. I was away for several days and came home, as you possibly already know, to find my father quite ill - he had pneumonia, and for two weeks I was unable to do scarcely anything except look closely after him. He scarcely allowed me out of his sight for more than a week, though there were two nurses with him all the time. I'm mighty glad to say that he is on the improve. Monday we carried him to the hospital, where he can have the advantages of the attention there, though we took care of him the best we could here at home while he was so very, very, ill. He seems to be getting along nicely.
We were only able to get the information for you today. I haven't read it, so scarcely know what to say to you about that - but I DO hope that you will continue to be on the improve, until you are feeling your normal self again. Please tell [1180] for me, not to feel hurt because I haven't written, and because I haven't sent the information he asked for. I'm simply so far behind, and have gotten so far behind with appointments since my father has been ill, and I've been feeling so bad myself - but will get to this just as soon as I possibly can, and will let him know in time when this will be made, so I will know just where he is. Should other questions come up that he would want to have included in this, be sure and let me know.
I want to assure you that my father appreciated the letter he had from you. I read it to him one day when he was feeling just a little quiet, and while he wasn't able to talk very much, he certainly expressed his appreciations, and I'm sure he will write you when he can.
We all think of you and speak of you often. Take real good care of yourself. We all send our love to you both.
Sincerely, [EC:GD]
5/03/30 [2519]'s letter to EC:
..., Ohio
Dear Mr. Cayce:-
I have been a long time answering your letter of April 16th. Was sure glad to hear from you, and receive the reading. The reading said the conditions had changed, and not all of these were for the best. I have been as careful as possible. And I had kept up the home treatments as suggested by Dr. Lydic. Outside of the osteopath treatments, I do not know what I have neglected, as it said the treatments were not all given. He just suggested the home treatments and osteopath treatments. But I was not very well satisfied with the osteopath I was going to. As he said an xray would be necessary to find the trouble, and he talked like it was appendicitis.
I have taken the alophen tablets as suggested, but since I have been taking them, I seem to have sort of a fluttering feeling in my throat, like my heart was beating in my throat. I cannot understand what causes it. Some days I feel pretty good, and others I have the same pains I have been bothered with for such a long time.
Yesterday, the pain seemed to be around my heart, and every breath I took it pained terrible. The reading said to take Phosphate or Hydrates and Phosphates. The only thing I was able to get was Sodium Phosphate. Do you think that is alright?
We are having nice weather here now, people are busy making their gardens. I have some plants growing in the house, and that is about as far as I have gone towards making garden, as we do not know as yet if we will be here or not.
I have been wondering how your father, is I hope he has improved in health, and I hope that you are feeling much better also. Not a day goes by but what I think of every one out there, but somehow I am rather slow in writing.
Remember me to all. [1180] has completed his well, but it is pretty small and he is very much discouraged. The men that are financing the work are really enthused over the oil they did get. And are willing to drill more, but [1180] dislikes to take their money, and keep spending it on dry holes, for he knows some day it will stop, if he can't make good with it. I feel that if it is possible for us to get a reading, it will tell us what is best for us to do.
I feel too if it were possible for me to quit worrying over these things I would feel much better.
Would like to hear from you when ever you have time to write. I will close for this time and send my love to all.
Sincerely, [2519]
P.S. Mr. Cayce if this sodium Phosphates, that I am taking is not the right thing, would you please have Mr. Benstock send the right phosphate to me, as I am sure he has every thing, in the drug line that the readings call for. Thanking you very kindly for same.
5/14/30 EC's letter to [2519]:
Mrs. [2519] ..., Ohio
Dear Mrs. [2519]-
Replying to yours of the 3rd, I am sorry you have not been feeling as well as you would like. I do not understand about the osteopaths, though it is oftentimes hard to get the proper cooperation. Why wouldn't it be well to get Dr. Lydic to suggest someone there, and have him write to him regarding your case. In that way you should be able to get the better cooperation.
If the Alophen affects you in that way and manner, I wouldn't take so much of it - but rather use the sodium phosphate. That's very good, and I'm sure if you would alter that with the Petrolagar (be sure it's the ALKALIN), taking about a tablespoonful of that every day until you have taken two or three bottles of it, you would get rid of all that trouble.
We have been very busy, and have almost as many reservations for June as we will be able to take care of at the hospital - unless we can send a lot of them that's there over to the nurses' home, and some of them I don't think will want to go - for they'll feel like it's about time for a vacation anyway. We are getting arrangements made so we will have the nurses' home. Then, too, we will be able to get a house down on the beach that will help us in taking care of more of them, that won't want to stay in the hospital.
I'm glad to say that my father is feeling a great deal better. He is still at the hospital, but is able to be up most of the time now.
I've written [1180], and I certainly hope I'll be able to get something for him real soon. Let us hear from you whenever you have the time to write. We are all fairly well here. With love to you both from all, I am
Sincerely, [EC:GD]
5/29/30 EC's letter to Mr. [1180]:
Mr. [1180] ..., Ohio
Dear [1180]:- Yours of the 22nd came to hand. I am trying mighty hard to get ends straightened up. Sorry to hear that Mrs. [2519] is not feeling so good. I wish she could have stayed here long enough to have gotten entirely straightened out. I feel that going back when she did, on account of the difference in weather, made it mighty hard for her.
[1180], I think I'm going to work in your reading sometime about the middle of June. I've got to be away over this week end. Hugh Lynn graduates from Washington and Lee. I'll be there for a few days, but as soon as I get back I'll try to get this lined up for you. We are very, very, busy. More applications, of course, than we can possibly attend to. It's not altogether as bad as you feel, about getting in readings - except that of the very greater number of seemingly urgent requests for physical conditions. These we HAVE to put before the material things, as you of course recognize, but I'm going to do this as soon as I possibly can. I hope the little delay won't be an inconvenience and worry to you.
Remember me very kindly to all your folks, and with love to you and Mrs. [2519], I am
Sincerely, [EC:GD]
6/03/30 Mr. [1180]'s letter:
We realize your position and feel very grateful to you for what you are trying to do. I don't see as Mrs. [2519] is any better, excepting her back, that is some better. But her stomach and right hip is giving her lots of trouble.
If we can get business straightened out and going right, we hope to come out and stay with you a while. I have good looking possibilities here, and plenty of backing for them, but do not know what to do. The best wishes to you, and all.
Sincerely, Your friend [1180]
7/02/30 See 1180-7, in which Mr. [1180] asks about his home and family, financial conditions, best place to reside, etc.
7/16/30 "Mrs. [1180] seems to be feeling better since we came to this dry altitude [New Mexico], but I think perhaps 2-3 months as you suggested, spent here will do her good."
7/31/30 EC's letter to Mr. [1180]:
Mr. [1180] ..., N. Mex.
Dear [1180]- I certainly am in hopes that you will get things all straightened out to your satisfaction there. I believe the assurance from the information, that you will find the greatest success in the Kentucky field. This is quite in keeping with some of the information given you a year or so ago [1180-6], though I'm sure there are many things that would make it most satisfactory for you to be closer home.
Certainly glad to know that Mrs. [2519] has been feeling better, and trust she will continue to do so. If she will watch her diet, and keep very much of that attitude as she is capable of, why she should continue to be on the improve.
We are all fairly well. We are hoping to open the nurses home tomorrow or first of week.
Drop us a line whenever you can. With love to you both,
Sincerely, [EC:GD]
1/27/31 Husband [1180]'s letter: "She has taken a good many osteopathic treatments since we arrived here, but the improvement has been very slow."
2/05/31 EC's letter to Mr. [1180]:
Situations at the hospital are rather precarious just now, on account of the finances - so, if it comes that you can help them a little bit, I'm sure it would be a Godsend to all concerned. I certainly hope that Mrs. [2519] does continue to keep on the improve. I think it was a shame that she couldn't have gotten set just exactly right before she left the hospital.
No, I didn't make the trip to California. So many things came up that I haven't been able to get away. We had a mining proposition I wanted to look at, but couldn't make it.
Dr. Lydic is not at the hospital now. The new staff is composed of Dr. Gena Crews and Dr. James R. Parker. Some dissension has arisen among the promoters, and they have held up people from coming in the hospital - though we have had numbers of applicants for admittance as patients. Just what will be the outcome we hardly know as yet. We all have our reverses, in one way or another.
Be sure and let us hear from you whenever you have the opportunity.
We are all fairly well, I'm glad to say. I think everyone that Mrs. [2519] knew at the hospital have been on the improve.
With love from all, Ever the same, [EC:GD]
12/02/31 Dear [1180] & Mrs. [2519]:-
We were indeed very glad to have yours of the 1st of November. We like to keep in touch with those whom we feel are interested in our undertakings, whom we feel have some knowledge of what we are trying to do. So many people get the idea that we have an axe to grind, or that we have some sort of a racket we are trying to induce others to subscribe to; and it is a pleasure and a consoling thought to know there ARE those who know such is not the case, but that we have only a sincere desire to be of help to those who feel they may obtain some suggestion or advice through these channels.
I'm sorry to know that business has been so bad there. The depression is not a local thing anywhere, it seems, but a world wide thing, and people do not know how to adjust themselves to such different circumstances. They become panicky, and think and act very unnatural in many ways. I hope that you will come through alright.
You know we no longer have the use of the hospital. Mr. Blumenthal saw fit to take it back. Some patients are being cared for by Sister, Mrs. Hesson, and those helping. It would do your heart good, Mrs. [2519], to see Mrs. [409] now, as she walks in for her treatments. She still limps a little, and uses a cane. The information has never allowed her as yet to put her whole weight on that limb, but for it to be of use at all is quite a wonderful thing to her, I am sure. She looks so well! There is only a very small discharge from the incision that was made to remove the shattered portion. I'm sure it is going to heal in the next few months so that she will be almost normal, anyway. [758] - I saw him just a few weeks ago. He has grown quite a bit. He got along WONDERFULLY until this summer, after he had left the hospital when it was closed, and he had some setbacks from his stomach, and the like, but he looks very well and is getting on very, very, nicely. Mr. [2] is at home - I hear from him occasionally. He can see sufficiently now to take care of most of the house, while the others are away at their daily tasks. He is not completely restored, but he is at present getting some insurance on his illness and I'm sure is constantly a little on the improve.
On our recent visit to New York we had some unpleasantness with the authorities there. You may have seen something in the Associated Press news. This, to be sure, came to naught, and we have a clean bill in the city with the authorities, or the privilege to carry on our work there in line with our organization, The Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc. By the way, I don't believe you have ever become a member of this new organization. I'm enclosing an Active Membership application for your convenience. We are getting all our real friends to sign these applications, thereby signifying that they are in accord with what we are attempting to do. You can contribute just as little or just as much as you feel you can for the membership fee. If you have any friends who are desirous of becoming members, we have some Associate Membership blanks that we can send for you to give them. The Active Membership blanks are for those, particularly, who have helped towards the work in the past, and who are our Official Representatives in the present. You are one of those.
We are all fairly well except my father, who has quite a bad spell of asthma. He's up again, though, and I hope will soon be his normal self. He has been failing considerable since his severe spell some years ago.
Let us hear from you whenever you can. We no longer live at the 35th Street house, but are right on the ocean in the house in front of the hospital. Our address is just Virginia Beach.
Hoping you are both well, and that you will let us hear from you - with all good wishes and love, I am
Sincerely, [EC:GD]
1/28/33 Mr. [1180]'s letter stated: "Mrs. [2519] and my folks are real well."
3/25/36 Mr. [1180]'s letter: "[2519] and myself are both quite well, however we have complained a great deal in the past of first one ache and then another, but I don't think there is anything wrong with either one of us but what a little prosperity would readily cure, if there ever is such a thing any more."
