Edgar Cayce Readings, 3706-1

Time and Place: 3:45 to 3:55 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Colorado.

TEXT

GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3706].
As we find there are disturbances which prevent the better physical functioning in the body. While these do not become so acute as to prevent the body's activity, they do cause a continual nervous strain on the body as to produce not only anxiety but often a great deal of distress through portions of the alimentary canal.
For as we find there are the tendencies in the areas of the caecum where the jejunum as it empties into the colon, becomes somewhat irritated.
In the cerebrospinal areas - 6th, 7th and 8th dorsal - there are those tendencies for the lack of proper circulation or stimulation from the nerve plexus there as well as from the sympathetic areas to supply sufficient flow through the area. These come from a hitch and from a period some time back when there were muscular contractions in the body from an excess of poisons that came from the improper flow of the kidneys. Thus a form of rheumatic reaction or the excess of certain characters of acids in the circulation and in the body energies.
These need to be stimulated to activity. Before attempting to make corrections we would apply through the area the hot Glyco-Thymoline Packs just as hot as the body can well stand in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th and 9th dorsal area. Then make the corrections.
Also when there are distresses, or of evening when the body is ready to retire, at least twice or three times a week apply over the abdominal area the Glyco-Thymoline Packs. These properties will be penetrating and alkaline-producing from the reactions of absorption.
Take internally a few drops of Glyco-Thymoline daily. This will also supply better activity for the kidneys. Take five to six drops in water once each day.
Also for the kidneys, rather than Spirits of Nitre, we would supply the form of Nitre that may be had by the use of watermelon seed tea, taken two to three times a week. Crush or grind a teaspoonful of watermelon seed and put in a cup, filling the cup with boiling water. Let this stand for twenty to thirty minutes. Strain and drink two or three times a week.
In the diet do add more of the raw, green vegetables regularly, preparing them in various ways - sometimes with mayonnaise, other times with gelatin. The reaction of the gelatin in the system will be very good.
Do these things consistently, persistently and we will make for better conditions for this body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) How stop the high singing noise in my ears?
(A) When we have corrected the conditions with kidneys so that the corrections may be made osteopathically, we will find that this will be overcome. Not only are the corrections specifically to be made in the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th dorsal but the lumbar area, the upper dorsal and cervical areas are to be coordinated with the corrections made there. These will change the whole vibrations of the body.
Do that.
(Q) Will this treatment correct the constriction in the intestines?
(A) As indicated these are the measures to take to correct the general conditions throughout the body.
We are through with this reading.
Two copies to Self (one for the osteopath - Please let us have the name and address of the one you choose.)

BACKGROUND

1/19/44 [3706]'s Questions for Health Reading:
1. How can the constriction in my intestines be corrected? 2. The muscles that hold back the contents of bladder are always tense unless I consciously relax them. How can I relax them & yet rely on their proper work when needed? 3. How can the high singing in my ears be stopped? My osteopath says it isn't high blood pressure. Mine is 140. 4. Is there anything wrong I don't know about, anywhere? I want to be 100% well! 5. Do you think I am eating the right foods?

REPORTS

3/26/44 Letter: (First part used in 3706-2, Par. R1 her Life Reading.)
"I am most eager to start those Glyco-Thymoline packs and have my various vertebrae adjusted. I have long been going regularly to an osteopath & she has to crack my neck almost every visit, always a weak spot. I go faint very easily. I'm sure you have hit the spot when you say my body's vibrations need changing. I shall wait to finish this letter when I have shown my readings to my Dr. next Tuesday. My osteopath is a close friend & was the one who lent me 'There is a River' - sister to Dr. Marcia Wirth of Chadran, Neb. whose readings you gave last November. I shall do everything you say for I do always want to be 100% well - For many months I have not had any times of exuberance of well being as I used to have, tho I am never really ill.
"I am surprised that you do not recommend Colonics for I've been going to Dr. Clark for those for several years and now need one every 2 weeks. I hope this means that my intestines aren't in as bad shape as we thought? She has suspected a serious constriction for some time.
"I expect the period you mention when excess of poisons contracted various muscles, was during the last war when I worked in a Y-M-C-A but for British & American soldiers from 1916-19. The food was AWFUL - Sticky white bread, bully beef, potatoes & cheap jam almost entirely. I got so run down as to have break out on my skin & I came over to this country in 1919 in a condition of near break-down. However, I come of a healthy stock. I overcame that in time. Now about the pictures. I confess to a real disappointment that you did not keep at least the river one - painted ESPECIALLY for you - willows and all! I even inscribed it on the back. But its yours and so if you want to pass it on that's all right. You see I have some of my English thankness left!
"Another thing that interested me was that I expressed my art in music (voice) as Jessica - I happen to have a speaking voice people love - is that a kind of hangover? I love music as deeply as I do my painting - also writing - & it does encourage me to keep on with poems & articles, reading what you say I might do.
"I will take a separate sheet with one to add anything after seeing my Dr. tomorrow & going over reading with her. Thanks again, so much.
"My osteopath's name is: Dr. Jennie I. Clark, 430 Empire Bldg., Denver.
"Dr. Clark knows me inside out & I've let her read both 'readings'. She is as thrilled as I about them & we are going to do everything you suggest. "Thank you, again - if you have time to answer my letter please do."
4/05/44 Letter from EC to Mrs. [3706]: "Thanks very much for yours of the 26th.
"Of course I am very, very pleased to know that you have found your reading most interesting, and I only hope and trust the suggestions applied will prove as helpful to you as to so many others tell us theirs have been to them. You are most fortunate to have an osteopath that will follow the suggestions made for the physical correction, very closely. We have quite a number of people in this school throughout the country, who are very enthusiastic about the information and especially the results they have been able to obtain in the use of the suggestions made, though there are times when the information tells them the manner of treatment that is in opposition to what they have been taught. To me it is a personal thing, because in the years gone by I was acquainted with and had several treatments from Dr. A. T. Still himself. Many members of his family are still interested and we hear from them rather regularly. This would indicate that it has been at least, a consistent thing.
"Yes, the Life Readings are very fantastic tales, yet I am sure every individual, if they read and study the information, know pretty well within themselves where it is speaking of them, or not in a general way, and 99% of them tell us they have proven to be most interesting and helpful experiences in their lives.
"The work and the reading of the book is causing a great deal of interest in England at the present time, and I wonder what will happen when the war is over. We have quite a number of requests from individuals there.
"It is certainly fine that you can see yourself in the information that is given. That possibly will be the way in which you can make the suggestions made more helpful to you. If there is any possibility of our making the information more helpful to you by trying to answer any of the questions for you or your doctor, let us know. There are many references made in the Life Reading to various periods where we may have had some association or other information, because the periods are just stuck in now and then and yet we have been able to get a pretty good back-ground of history of some of the individual periods.
"I wish and hope that it will be possible for you to visit Va. Beach sometime.
"I know so long as we live, and am in hopes the little boys and babies who grow up, will enjoy and appreciate the pictures that you prepared for us. "Do let us hear from you. Thank you and with every good wish, I remain..."
4/05/64 Dr. [3393]'s letter: "I was one of the ones fortunate enough to have a reading by Mr. Cayce along with Dr. [3394] and Mrs. [3706] of ... Both Dr. [3394] and Mrs. [3706] have died."
