Edgar Cayce Readings, 4410-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [4410]. Now, we find there are conditions as are disturbing in the physical forces of the body. The conditions as we find at present are rather the complication of both causes and effects as have been and are created in the system. At times there seems that the effect is the predominating condition, and called oft the cause. These are some specific conditions, some reflex conditions. They have to do with the assimilations, and the organs as are affected BY disturbances IN the assimilating system.
These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [4410] we are speaking of, present in this room:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find below the normal in its elements, or its constituents, due OFTENTIMES to the toxic forces or elements as are produced by the effects of toxic conditions and the change in the pressure as is created, as well as the characterization in the white and red blood forces, or those of coagulative nature, or resuscitating, or of the replenishing or rebuilding nature in the system.
IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, here we find also those of effects as are produced by disorders, as well as at TIMES that the nerve CONDITION adds to the disorder by ITS reflex action on the system. Those centers in the cerebro-spinal system that show the effect of such reflexes are those specifically in the 7th and 8th dorsal, and also in the UPPER dorsal area as reflexed in the cervicals. That these are reflexes are indicated by the changes as occur from time to time, in the coordinating between the sympathetic and the cerebro-spinal nerve system, when there are the specific disorders in the intestinal system, where the conditions arise from contraction, through the activity of other forces - then we find the reaction between sympathetic and cerebro-spinal MORE pronounced.
In the specific conditions existent, and in the organs themselves, as we find in the sympathetic or the sensory system - this very good as considered from the conditions existent in the body as related to the sympathetic coordinating with the sensory organs; yet at times these show the effect of the disorders as have existed by the PRONOUNCED change in their receptivity. Again we find these accentuated until they show the condition by the VARIATION in receptivity, through sympathetic to the sensory activity.
Throat, bronchials, lungs, larynx - these show the effect of a DISTURBED circulation, rather than organic conditions, or the specifics from which the disorders as occur in system arise.
In the digestive system,the stomach, and in the assimilating system, especially do we find the seat or the cause, and the reflexes at times of the disorders. Were the history OF the condition as first PRODUCED same, and the condition as exists in the present compared, we would find that CAUSES have not ALWAYS been considered in applications for the correction of the disorders; for when there was the first disorders these began in the stomach proper, or in the upper portion of same; THEN the disorder began in the descending colon area, from the effect of adhesions that formed by the effect of disorders and accumulations there. Then we had an after effect from this to the gall duct regions, affecting both the spleen and the liver in their activity, and their secretions for the system - with temperature, again there were produced LACERATIONS in the pyloric end of the stomach and in the duodenum. The area became rather smoothed with constant effect of over fermentation and toxic forces and accumulations in the colon itself. With the changes and alterations as have been brought about by the conditions as have been affected, corrected in a manner, changes or alterations as to the effects as are produced from the disorders as existed, these we find in the present affect the assimilating area, especially in that of the system as SEPARATES forces as are BEING assimilated by the body. These form the area of the disorder that produces the toxic forces through the accumulations of gas, of poisons from over-acidity, regurgitation of acidity into the lower end of stomach itself; then those pressures as come from same in the nervous system to the head, to the various portions of the body, as to the lower extremities sympathetically, as well as to that PRODUCING nausea at times in the stomach proper.
In the COLON we find a tendency for a prolapsus in the transverse end. This may be seen by the effects created, or by the fluoroscope, or by the x-ray actions as may be had from same.
In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions as we would find for this body, we will find that these may be aided MOST by that of which may be called a COMBINATION of the forces FOR the body through the change in the VIBRATIONS of the system, as may AFFECT the ASSIMILATING body; for all life being vibratory in its nature, all life in a physical body being of an electrical vibratory force, as may be termed, in a physical body, these will aid materially will they be set so that their activity act not so much as a stimuli, other than WITH the vibrations of the body itself. So, we would add as these: Those of the vibrations from the low electrical forces as from that of the plain wet cell forces, or battery, as would be applied to the 12th and 11th dorsal center and to the 4TH and 5th cervical centers, so that the vibrations to the heart's action - through the centers as govern these portions as are affected - may receive an increased pulsation. Do not keep same attached so long as to raise the pulsation too high, but these should be had for at least thirty minutes each day, PREFERABLY as the body rests in the evening.
We would also keep the vibrations of the manipulations through the system, as to make for COORDINATION in the circulation and the general activities of the organs of the body.
Be mindful of the diet, that there are not those things that are too EASILY producing acidity in the system.
We will find that the use of Psyllium Seed will be effective in taking OFF the accumulations through the system, for they will become active as forces PRODUCING or taking up poisons, even as those that effect a better peristaltic movement through such areas as exist in the system itself. This, as we find, would be best taken in not too great a quantity, but taken WITH the meal at least twice each day. With plenty of water, with plenty of the oils as make for the activities in the digestive system - that that is easily assimilated; the olive oil in VERY SMALL quantities, a few drops often, or a half a teaspoonful three or four times each day, will aid materially in the making for proper vibrations throughout the digestive system. Ready for questions.
(Q) Is this condition due to an infection?
(A) As has been indicated, due to that infection that first began with the lacerations, as indicated - for it has changed, as has been seen, in its activity through the system. In the stomach proper, then in the lower PORTION of stomach and the digestive system, then toxic forces in the colon itself, producing there an adhesion - through the inflammation as was thrown into the system and NOT eliminated. Hence the SOURCE at present of the infection is twofold in the pyloric end of stomach itself, or regurgitation or acids, and the coming back, and then the effect created in the colon itself.
(Q) Is there an indication of malignancy?
(A) WE would not consider same as an indication of malignancy. Rather that of acute infection arising from those conditions as have existed. Now, the applications as have been given for the change in the vibratory forces in the system, these will aid the system in GAINING its NORMAL equilibrium, as change in the VIBRATION will in passing through the affected parts from the centers as indicated, that for the stomach and for those of the lower portion of the digestive system, STIMULATING same - so that these may be easily thrown off, WILL the MANIPULATIONS coordinate WITH the rest of the system, and of the applications made. The body is a good dietician for itself; not ALWAYS consistent with that it knows!
(Q) Prognosis.
(A) Do this as we have given, and we will find the effects as will be created will be for the benefits and for the corrections of these conditions. Do that.
(Q) How much exercise is advisable?
(A) This is necessary to the better forces of the body, that there be SUFFICIENT exercise - but DO NOT over-STRAIN the body; for, as is well known to the body, that where there are disorders or distentions in a system that will produce or cause the fluids of the body, as in those of the hydrochlorics in the lower portion of the duodenum forced in the stomach itself under improper conditions by exercise, MUST produce inflammation and poison, and would do it most without foods, rather than with full stomach!
(Q) Is camp life good for this body?
(A) Be very good if you will keep the rest of the things with it, but don't get out of touch with the manipulations as would be necessary to keep the general stimuli, as well as the other vibrations. Wherever there may be plenty of oxygen as may be created for the system, this is helpful. Later we would find that we would create oxygen in the system, see?
(Q) Where best to live? With whom?
(A) Where there is a general atmosphere of not too high or too low an altitude, but where the SURROUNDINGS at least are pleasant - and these may best be determined by the body itself!
(Q) Any cardiac disturbance?
(A) As was given, this was first in the cardiac portion, or the cardiac SYSTEM as was first disturbed - BY overwork! Then the stomach, and the cardiac END of the stomach began, and it's travelled on down. Now, let's change the vibrations through all of these and relieve it, or eliminate it! Do as we have given.
(Q) What about osteopathic treatment?
(A) This has been indicated all the way through, in the manipulations.
(Q) Is Miller Lymphatic Pump indicated as a therapeutic measure?
(A) This would be helpful to the body, but RATHER WOULD we change the vibrations by those of the electrical forces passing through the organs themselves, without raising the cardiac activity or the heart's forces too high, than through that of the pulmonaries or through the respiratory system.
(Q) Will an autogenous vaccine help?
(A) We would rather reach those through those changes as we have indicated, than attempting to reach same through the circulation.
(Q) What will relieve the rheumatism? Any special treatments?
(A) When we relieve these toxic forces as cause the pressures in the system, we will relieve the rheumatism also. This is an effect, not a cause to the other disorders.
(Q) When can body go to work - resume practice?
(A) Begin with this outline as we have given, and in ten to twelve weeks go back to work! We are through for the present.

REPORTS

8/07/31 EC's letter to [4410]:
Dr. [4410] ..., Va.
Dear Dr. [4410]:
This is just a note to tell you that the battery was shipped to you by express. As you will see, the instructions for putting this together are enclosed [See Par. R2 below]. We found that your express office is ... I hope this isn't too inconvenient for you to get it from this place.
Please let us hear from you from time to time. I certainly trust that this proves as satisfactory to you as such suggestions seemingly have for so many others.
With kindest personal regards and best wishes, I am
Sincerely, EC:GD
Enclosure in the above letter:
DIRECTIONS FOR WET CELL BATTERY - by Gray Salter
Dr. [4410]'s reading of July 29, 1931
Upon receiving battery, cleanse jar thoroughly. First add one and one-half (1 1/2) gallon of uncontaminated rain water, caught in either glass or porcelain receptacle. Cistern water, or water caught from down-spout should not be used, as this has come in contact with other metals and is contaminated. The receptacle should be set in such a place as dust or dirt will not get in same, and let the water be caught this way.
After putting water in battery jar, add the chemicals in number One, Two, Three, Four. After adding number Two, let the solution set for about thirty seconds before adding number Three, the small metal cuts. Again after adding number Three, let the battery set for a second or two until the bubbling in solution starts, then add number Four and stir solution with glass rod or wooden stick until it is thoroughly mixed. Replace top on battery jar, and connect the wires to the clips in top of the box, being sure to keep the negative and positive sides straight. These are marked by the Negative and Positive side. Now the battery is ready for application.
Fasten the plate to the patient as directed in reading. This part of the reading should be studied carefully, so as no confusion will be made in the applying of these places to the correct portion of body. After plates are strapped securely in place, attach the wires to the battery. The plates should be alternated each time battery is given, applying the positive plate first one time, then the negative plate first; also alternating these to the body - the positive to the 12th and 11th dorsal center and the negative to the 4th and 5th cervical centers, as given, then in the next treatment apply the negative first to the 12th and 11th dorsal and the positive to the 4th and 5th cervical. These should be kept alternated each time.
This battery should be recharged every eighteen to twenty-two days. The chemicals in right amounts and strength can be obtained from Mr. Cayce. Any repairs should be sent to this office. If any difficulty is encountered in applying this battery, let us know so that we can help you to understand just how it should be applied.
