Edgar Cayce Readings, 3927-1

Time and Place: Unknown. ..., Alabama.

TEXT

EC: Now in this body, [3927] ..., Ala., we are speaking of, we have a good body physically and mentally; well developed both physically, mentally, and spiritually.
The action at this time in the digestive tract of this body, producing and carrying through the system too much sugar, causes an overstimulation of the heart action in the body. We also find this condition in the duodenum, which affects the circulation around the heart. Too much sugar exists in the system, and the duodenum, the medicine chest of the body, is disturbed and there is produced an overbalance in the body; this also causes too many chemicals to be produced. We have an overbalance, or recurrence, of these elements in the entire system, causing conditions that affect the physical forces of the body.
The reaction from these conditions that we have at the present time is a languidness of the action of the mind's control over physical things pertaining to the body.
To rid, remove, or perform a balance of the action of the chemicals in the body, as in the digestive tract, would be to give, or treat, the system through a diet, snd also through mental suggestion. Let the body control itself in its action over itself. Let that which is taken into the body be food of a predigested nature, as buttermilk. Also take exercises that will tend to reduce the body, especially those from the waist up in its action, so the system will be able to perform a full digestion. Keep the body away from meats and sweets. Give bread, as whole wheat or brown bread, and plenty of buttermilk. Give whole wheat and brown bread preference over plain bread.
(Q) Should he be allowed to eat ice cream?
(A) At times he may be allowed to have plain cream, if properly manufactured, but even this should be restricted.
(Q) Can you suggest a diet that will be both beneficial and palatable?
(A) This has already been discussed.
(Q) Should he be allowed to have any meat at all?
(A) Once or twice a week.
(Q) What about chicken?
(A) This should be taken very seldom until the body has overcome the conditions now existing in the system.
(Q) What has been the cause of the recent attacks to which the body has been subject?
(A) As stated by the stomach's reaction from the conditions existing in the system, and by overstimulation, caused by too much sugar being produced in the system.

REPORTS

GD's note: He also obtained a Physical Reading for his nephew, [3926].
5/15/34 Miss [580]'s letter: "Mrs. [...] and I were speaking of you yesterday. She told me you had given Judge [3927], her brother-in-law, a reading. She thinks you are wonderful, as does everyone else who has ever known you at all."
8/01/40 HLC's letter to Mr. [3927]: "Our records show that you secured a physical reading from my father in 1920. This is one of our oldest written records of his work, and we would like, if possible, to secure any statement or report that you are in a position to make regarding it. The reading described the condition of too much blood in the body with disturbed heart action. Diet and exercise were recommended. It is quite possible that all of the reading was not recorded, for during those days it was difficult to get a good stenographer. I would appreciate any statement from you which will bring our files up to date on this case. You may be interested to know of the expansion program now being undertaken by our Association which is studying and presenting my father's work. The enclosed leaflet will carry a description of this program." Sincerely,
8/14/40 Mr. [3927]'s letter to HLC: "Thank you for your recent letter relative to the physical reading I secured from your father in 1920. So far as I know, the record speaks the truth, and frankly I don't know of anything else to add, except that I considered your father a very good friend of mine. I shall always remember him as a fine, outstanding gentleman. With best wishes, I am," Cordially yours
