Edgar Cayce Readings, 3734-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: We have the body, [3734]. Now, we find there are conditions that cause distress in the physical forces of the body. These, as we find, are an overtaxation of the body through those forces of the physical that have to do with the circulatory system, where the centers - from the solar plexus, in conjunction with the brachial centers - produce an incoordination of eliminations in the system, so that the circulatory forces in the physical body carry to the central forces those inflammatory conditions to the upper portions of body. These, as we find, may be said to center, though, more particularly in the lacteal plexus. Hence the glands in the throat, through which the functioning of the system finds a sympathetic circulation, PRODUCES that inflammation, and the pains in head, neck, in between the shoulders, are as the effects of the disturbance.
In meeting the needs, and in further applications for the disorder, we would find that there must - with the applications for the local conditions existent - be a REMOVAL of those distresses that are produced in the lacteal centers, or in the lower portion of the duodenum and the upper portion of the jejunum. This INFLAMMATION and DISORDER removed, will aid more in the REMOVAL of the conditions in throat, bronchi, and in the tonsil and the salivary glands.
For these conditions in the throat, we would have the local applications of the fish oil or Ichthyol in a weakened solution, or the fumes of the weakened solution of Nitrate of Silver.
In the cleansing of the system, we will find that the application of the HYDRATES for the body will cleanse that portion - as of the duodenum - in the proper manner.
To relieve the disorders, we would APPLY those packs of the Epsom Salts, ALTERNATED with those of the bean - or the castor oil, that is taken FROM the bean. These should be HOT packs, while those about the throat or neck should be more cold than hot. One applied opposite from the other. Do that.
Ready for questions.
(Q) The hot packs of Epsom Salts and Castor Oil, where should they be applied?
(A) Over the region of the lacteal ducts or glands, which is at the lower end of the right lobe of the liver.
(Q) Will the hot packs applied to the lower end, or over the liver, help the throat condition?
(A) This, as is seen, is the cause or seat of the trouble, see? and this removes that which produces the pressure and causes the irritation in the throat. Not that the throat, with its local applications, is to be neglected, but the SEAT of the trouble is the impaction, which produces a high pressure in the circulation to the upper part of the body - head, throat and neck, see?
(Q) In the application of Ichthyol, weakened solution, how should that be applied?
(A) BEST were it applied with the spray, see?
(Q) That is not the Mono-Ichthyolate that I use?
(A) Just the plain Ichthyolate - weakened one to twenty, you see - soluble with the water, of course, or with the weakened alcohol.
(Q) The pain in the back, the lower part -
(A) This reflex from those conditions in the lacteal centers - for, as we have - a center, the lacteal ducts, see? Now this will be, unless removed, the center from which the greater pain would EVENTUALLY emanate, but the reflexes - or the 4th lumbar and the upper cervical - are the centers from which the indications are at present; while the causes, as we find, emanate from this disorder in the lacteal centers.
(Q) The hot packs over the liver should be applied for how long at a time before a rest period?
(A) We would apply, as in the beginning, hot pack of saturated solution of Epsom Salts. This in, or on, a small towel or cloth that holds heat. Cover this with another towel that would RETAIN heat, and allow the pack to stay on for half to three quarters of an hour, and let almost an equal amount of time elapse before the oil pack would be applied - see? This will tend to MOVE the upper BOWEL, see? When this is removed, we will find the pain GRADUALLY subsiding - through both the upper and lower portions of the body, see?
[900]: That is all the questions.
EC: Do that, and we will find we will bring the normal conditions for this body. Be mindful, to be sure, of the diet - until the system is thoroughly cleansed.
(Q) What should the diet be?
(A) Those foods that tend more to the alkalin. Not too much meats, very little if any - but those foods that do not irritate the throat, to be sure - for the tendency is to be an acid reaction from the stoppages in the system, and the increased amount of circulation NOT coordinated. Inflammation itself tends to be acid in its reaction. Such diet as - juices of fruits, citrous fruits especially - rolled oats, or any of the well cooked cereals, milk, and such. These should be the diet, PRINCIPALLY, for the next two or three days.
(Q) Then, it will take about two or three days to bring the body to near normal?
(A) To be sure, the pain will be relieved sooner - but to be NORMAL, for the normal reactions of body, two to three days.
That is all the questions.
We are through for the present.
