Edgar Cayce Readings, 2722-1

Time: Unknown.

TEXT

EC: Yes, sure, we have the body here. Now, you see, a great deal of most of the conditions that we find in this body here, [2722] we are speaking of, are reflex conditions, produced by some organic conditions that may be corrected so that the functioning of these may be perfect, and that the reflex condition produced by these conditions will correct themselves. The treating of the reflex conditions, of course, would not materially or lastingly benefit or assist the conditions in the body.
The conditions as we find them are here, first, in the blood-supplying forces in the body. The condition as existing keeps the blood impoverished through certain conditions, or of certain elements needed to prevent the using too much of the strength and vitality of the body, so that the strength of the body is often used to excess; see, so as to call on all of the reserve forces in the system to carry on perfect conditions in the body, yet leaving some of the forces and conditions in the system affected by blood forces at a low ebb, or impoverished condition of the blood of certain cellular forces carried by the hemoglobin in the blood. The division of white and red corpuscles, the red are below their normal number, or as should be in the system, sufficient of the white, yet it causes often times too much vitality used to proper function in co-agulation of used forces of certain organs of the system.
The nervous system is over-taxed at present. This is reflex, though, as produced from other conditions; and we have some centers and ganglia, especially through the pelvis region, that go to produce or cause much of the depletion throughout the system. As far as we have for the organs themselves, the organic conditions existing that we find is through the pelvis and the functioning of the organs of genitation, so that oftentimes these function to excess; the condition of the nervous system, and, again, the suppression, as has been for times, produces in the system much of the nerve force being overtaxed, as we have through the blood of insufficient quality to carry on all of the rebuilding forces in the body.
The lung force is very good, save as reflexes through nerve centers from the lower part of the body, or from the pelvis region, producing a difference in the condition of the respiratory system, so that the action of the lymphatics to feed, or to produce their proper functioning channels go to excess with the secretions they send up to the cuticle, to be acted upon by the surface regulations, producing the change needed for the normal usage of these component parts in the system.
Throughout the digestive tract we find very good action of all of the organs of the digestive tract, save at times a condition as produced in the transverse colon, which sometimes gives trouble to this part of the functioning of the organs of this body here, [2722] we are speaking of, you see.
The action of the liver, and the kidneys, - the liver is better in its activity than of the kidneys themselves, for the excretions as produced oftentimes causes too much of the acid forces to pass through the action of the kidneys, thus producing a condition hard to combat with without much rest to the physical portions of the body; see?
In the pelvic organs, we find that the seat of the Littre's [Leydig?] glands, there is improper distribution of this secreting fluid passing into the proper channel or form, so that its action then to the system becoming reflexed, takes more of the vitality of the body than should be exerted by this body here.
There is not the diseased proper condition of the tubes, Fallopian tubes, but there is an inflammation produced at times throughout this portion of the body.
(Q) Is it possible for this body to produce life, Mr. Cayce?
(A) It is possible for this body to produce life, provided the proper expectancy and vibration is given to all of the centers governing the secretive functioning organ giving off of the ovum in the system; but with the suppression that the lack of proper connection between the Littre's [Leydig?] gland and the feeding tubes, you see; of this it forces this then into the system without the expectancy, that is, proper operative force in the body. Vibrations would be used or given to the system which would be of a low form to produce vibration without giving that which would make sterile the condition produced in the body, you see. We will apply to the body this form of force, of electric forces [Radio-Active Appliance]: First, we would have two pieces of steel, two square 3-1/2 inches long, you see. These would be fastened to-gether only by a connecting wire between these, you see, - one and the other. Then each one fastened to a plate, which could be attached to the body itself. These would be placed after being made and connected with the insulated wires that would operate from one to the other, that is, to the electrodes then to the receiving battery, you see; this then would be placed into a jar, preferably a high glazed earthen jar, with two gallons of water, rain water preferred, to which there would be added, first, six ounces of bluestone, see. One dram sulphuric acid, and four ounces of salt [Wet Cell Appliance]. When this is ready to be used the electrodes are placed in this jar with ice; then this is attached to the body so that we equalize or produce an equilibrium between all of the functioning organs especially of the pelvis. Do this in the manner and form given and we will over come this condition. We will be able to give the body rest when it attempts to lay down to rest. We will equalize the circulation in the body, relieving it of its tiredness, when the action of these forces appear on the system, the trouble with the feet and lower limbs, sickness, too tired feeling at times, and to things that the body attempts to eat, or in the digestive organs in the system, give the proper vibration to the organs of the pelvis so that life may be produced as desired.
(Q) Any particular portion of the body to apply this electrical treatment, Mr. Cayce?
(A) Given by attachment first, to the left ankle, this some three days; then to the right wrist. This is attached when lying down to rest. Should remain from thirty minutes to an hour and a half. If the body goes to sleep just let it stay on until the body awakes, then remove it. Ices placed in the water, with cotton or batting or pad under the plate, to which the other ends of the wire are attached to this, the electricity passing through it, letting it create it of its own; it creates a different vibration that is needed particularly for this body here.
(Q) Will this relieve the body of the pain that it complains of, as in the back, Mr. Cayce?
(A) Yes, sir; when we relieve the condition, you see, as we have described, the seat of the trouble, or vibration, that is, through these, of circulation, we will gradually relieve this condition, this bearing down pain of the back, as we correct and cause these organs of the pelvis to function properly, then we will have all of the system in proper condition, you see.
No medicinal properties taken into the system here save those that may be used to cause the proper carrying off of all feces from the system, see?
(Q) Any ordinary laxative is sufficient for this purpose, is it not, Mr. Cayce?
(A) With what we are giving to the system to produce vibration, you see, the ordinary laxative should not be taken, if that is food for the system itself, see. First, we would take into the system two or three teaspoonsful of Usoline or Russian White Oil, none of those that carry a paraffin.
(Q) Repeat that again, please, Mr. Cayce?
(A) Two teaspoonsful at a dose of Usoline or the Russian White Oil. None of these that carry paraffin base; the other oils are a substitute for this: don't use those. After this is taken, that is, in conjunction with the other treatment that is given every night you see, then we begin by taking small doses of olive oil, which feed to the system itself; this other does not; but not in quantity sufficient to become rancid in the system. With the change of vibration of these we will gradually; this will take some time unless the body rests from its labors and rests; when it is given, increase the flow here, as of the menstrual flow. It will also produce, or reproduce, within the body the junction of the necessaries to produce; see?
(Q) This will eradicate also the breaking out on the skin, Mr. Cayce?
(A) Yes, the change of vibration, or change of forces in the system, will change these conditions in the body. This will not relieve it at once, but it will relieve the condition in the body. This, as we have given, is what is necessary to take for the ails of this particular body.
(Q) Should this body discontinue the work it is now doing, Mr. Cayce?
(A) This as we have given here, is to relieve the conditions as they are and under the conditions as they are. If the body gave up work it would be more efficient in its operation, but they would be used differently from what we have given; see? Let it keep as it is doing until the action of the force of the mind is proper with the action of these forces.
You will dismiss this body. You will not see it any more for the present. You are resting quietly and peacefully all of the organs of your body will function normally and perfectly; you will be normal in every way. You will be normal in every way. You will awake now in three minutes, thoroughly rested in every way. You will forget what you have said, you are feeling good and all right, in every respect, and thoroughly rested. Now awake, as I have said, Mr. Cayce, in three minutes.

REPORTS

Husband [4959]'s subsequent letter: "Mr. Cayce, I do not find 'gentation' [genitation - see 2722-1, Par. 3] as used by you in the Medical Dictionary, but that is the word I understood you to use. Also, I believe 'Littre's Glands' is correct. I do not find anything like Lydon's [Leydig] glands. According to the Medical Dictionary Littre's glands are 'racemose glands in the spongy portion of the urethra' 'Racemose', according to the same dictionary means resembling a bunch of grapes on its stalk".
10/12/22 See 2722-2, her second reading.
7/03/21 Mr. [4959], the husband acted as Steno for reading, 2722-1.
2/01/34 Husband wrote that they now have a daughter, nine and one-half yrs. old.
7/13/42 Husband wrote that nothing ever came of readings 2722-1 and 2722-2, because they never could "get the electric machine made as ordered".
