Edgar Cayce Readings, 4716-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body, [4716]. Now, as we find, there are disturbances in the physical forces of the body. These have to do with the soft tissues in the body, though these are but effects of more subtle conditions that exist with the body.
These, then, are the conditions that we find with this body, [4716] we are speaking of:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY - We find evidences of poisons being carried back into the system, through an excess of the amount of congestion or congested area through which some portions of the circulation pass, without the impulse of the nerve forces in those particular portions; as in the antrum and nasal cavities, where there has existed - and does exist - congestion, and where poisons from same, or accumulations, have allowed much of the drosses to remain in the system by the condition of the liver and its activity in taking from the system those that SHOULD be eliminated by the circulation. Hence there are periods when this, as we find, has affected the heart's action - though not an organic condition; nor are the organs ABOUT same, either in the respiratory system or the heart's action itself involved, other than sympathetically.
IN THE NERVE SYSTEM - As we find, here the greater portion of the condition exists. In times back there has been some exposure by the body, under stress and strain of mental conditions, when the lower portion of the body - especially the feet and lower limbs - suffered strain; and these find an expression in the heaviness as existed in the body between the shoulders, and from the brachial center to the head and neck. These, as we find, made pressure as exist in the lower cervical and upper dorsal area; reducing through those pressures the impulse of the nerve supply and blood supply to carry impulse and circulation from the head and neck, the antrum, the thyroid glands, and so the INCREASED pressure there has prevented the impulse of the lymph and those circulations to carry away drosses. These gradually accumulated, until there have been those effects not only in the outer portions; that is, in the lymph circulation and the capillary circulation (where there were some irritations to the body in the cuticle itself), but those conditions in the throat, in the antrum in the nasal passages, those pressures as made the burning for the eyes, the hearing impaired by those pressures in same, brought about these conditions.
These, then, are a combination - though that RELIEF that has been brought, by those effects of the operative forces on the antrum and the cleansing of same, has only PARTIALLY removed the causes. Neither have those causes removed those strains that such an amount of poisons in system has affected the liver and the hepatic circulation.
These, then, as we find, were those REMOVED - and the impulses that caused these strains, we would find the body would respond, and not only will the general health and general activity of the body physical and mental be aided - through the relief of the poisons in system, but there would be the better activity of the liver, the clearer condition as would exist through the hepatic circulation and through the kidneys, and the hearing and vision would also be aided.
As we would find, while it will be necessary for the time being - that there still be those cleansings of the antrum, until the poisons are entirely removed, there will also be the necessity of some of the cleansings - these done locally, to be sure. We would use as the antiseptic in same a weakened solution of the Ichthyol, rather than those that carry the more gummy substance in or for the soft tissues; for these will not only act as clarifiers or cleansers for the condition, but the ABSORPTION of same by the system will aid the soft tissue, the soft bone, and the structural portions of the bones themselves, to recuperate in a more normal way and manner.
But we would take those general work-outs as would be administered by such an one as Reilly, or the like - with the manipulations directed the stronger in the upper dorsal and in the lower cervical area. Not a heavy work-out, but with the sweats, salt glows, oil rubs AND manipulations, these should bring for the body the corrective forces, giving a better reaction throughout the body. These we would take once or twice a week, until the conditions are clarified.
When necessary (but do not neglect same) use those cleansings for the nasal and the antrum, and the throat - which would be done once or twice a week until two or three are done, then once or twice a month until these conditions disappear entirely.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Would present effects as indicated be result of sinus trouble?
(A) The condition, as we find, of the STRAIN that was caused under pressure some years ago, with the condition in which the feet and the extremities of the body suffered at the time, brought about that strain on the upper portion of the body - reflexly. Then the POSITIONS, and the worryings, brought about the CENTRALIZATION of same to the upper dorsal and lower cervical area. This pressure prevented those reactions through the sinus area. Hence the SINUS was the result of a pressure on the nervous system! Removing the condition in the sinus area, or the throat, or along those pressures to the auditory nerves, only relieved partially. Hence the applications that will make for correction and those that will stimulate the eliminating and the excretory forces of the body - as the liver and the kidneys. Making them coordinate with the rest of the system will clarify and make for bettered conditions. Do that.
(Q) Who should apply the Ichthyol?
(A) Somebody that knows how! Such an one as has been applying it heretofore, or that has been applying other measures. Don't change from those of the specialist, that have given these - but ADD these other conditions!
We are through for the present.
