Edgar Cayce Readings, 4791-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [4791]. Now, we find there are many contributory conditions to the distresses that are at times produced in the physical functioning of the body. Many of these have been builded in the system through the application, or non-application (in the proper manner), of those things for corrections in the system.
The conditions, then, are somewhat complex in their nature, but these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [4791] we are speaking of, present in this room.
THE BLOOD SUPPLY shows the lack of an even balance, both by the quantity that HAS been lost - or changed by the system - and the manner in which the conditions in the physical forces at present have to do with the assimilations as they are carried on. Not, then, as a humor; not as those conditions as destructive, but RATHER the lack of the constructive elements in the life giving blood force itself, so that vitality or energy that should be stored in the system is lacking; so that at the periods - in the present - when there comes the whole collapse of the nerve system, this is as much from the inability of the system to store energy as from specific or direct causes in other directions.
IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, we find there are evidences of this disorder in the resuscitating forces for the general system; that is, from the blood supply to rebuild, so that nerve centers that should govern impulses through the sympathetic system - as well as those through nerve energy - govern the functioning of glands even themselves, which is one of the contributing causes, or a great contributing cause to the disorder. Glands functioning in an abnormal manner make for growths that are out of the ordinary, and abnormal for the body.
IN THE FUNCTIONING ORGANS THEMSELVES, brain forces - the differentiations or impulses are normal, save when there comes those repressions that are seen in the nerve system, through the inability of the body to keep its even balance, as is seen in the functioning of the system as related to keeping its equilibrium and its activity in normalcy during such periods.
In the functioning of the organs of the sensory system, these become accentuated at times through the over-activity of the sensory forces through sympathetic impulses; so that abnormalcy in these directions occurs at periods; not at given or stated periods, for they may alter in the manner in which impulses reach the system.
Throat, bronchials and larynx, are very good considering the general condition.
Heart's action abnormal under the blood flow or pressure that is abnormal.
Digestive system - where conditions have been in a disordered system, as have the organs of digestion as related to the excretory forces and the forces that produce for assimilation, these rather show an EXAGGERATED condition, as do the digestive forces as related to the intestinal system.
The whole condition, then, as we find, presents an unbalanced, unequalized condition in the system; so that the hindrances from the exaggerations in the functioning organs, the hindrances for the system as being able to store energy, become RESULTANT conditions - through variations in the functioning.
In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions - for, as we find, these may be met, will the various conditions that appear - in their various stages of assistance and aid for the body - be met, and the changes be made to meet the various needs.
First there should be applied those conditions that will aid the bone structures in system in creating the blood supplies that will be properly balanced in its action through the system, which would be through the Infra Red nature - so that the soft portion in bone is aided in the nerves' reaction WITH the assimilations for creating a bettered blood supply.
At the same activity, or during the same period, there should be the creating in the system of more oxygen to aid in the system's rebuilding. At the same time, with the adding of this, it will reduce the activity of the glands - which have been thrown OUT of balance through the operative forces, through the suppression or hypnosis of the body in operative forces and measures - and cleanse the system of the scar tissue through the blood stream. Also we would add manipulative forces that would create an equal balance in the body.
Those measures taken, then, would be:
Infra Red at least twice each week. The ultra violet for the superficial forces, that produce activity with the medicated ash, would be taken twice each week. After the SECOND dose of the medicated ash is taken, the Infra Red would be taken only once each week.
The manipulative forces, to create an equal balance and an equal condition in the body, at least twice each week.
Do that. We will find the bettered conditions gradually building in the body.
There has been given that conditions should adjust themselves, yet the continued depletion, the continued reactions as to prevent strength and vitality, INDICATE that the assimilations are unbalanced. Ready for questions.
(Q) What dosage of medicated ash?
(A) One-quarter grain twice each week.
(Q) How long should this treatment be continued?
(A) As has been indicated, we will find there will be the necessity of changes as conditions are altered or changed in the system. This specific outline that has been given should be followed for at least five to six weeks.
(Q) Any advice regarding diet?
(A) Necessary that those conditions from which the body has suffered, as respecting the digestion, the organs themselves, be taken into consideration. Keep those foods nearer of an alkalin reaction, and that are of easy assimilation - though blood and nerve building, adding plenty of those foods that carry the phosphorus. This is an indication or a condition wherein the conch would be excellent for a portion of the diet. Conch soup or conch broth.
(Q) How long should the Infra and the ultra violet be given each time?
(A) The Infra Red at least for thirty minutes - twenty to thirty minutes in the beginning. The ultra violet from three to five minutes, but at least forty inches from the body.
(Q) Where should these be applied?
(A) The Infra Red will be for the GENERAL system, especially the pulmonary or the rib portion, and the whole torso of the body. The ultra violet should be above or opposite the solar plexus center, from which the radial forces come to the digestive organs, the liver, the spleen, and react in blood building; for the medicated ash in the system will only react in its PROPER courses for the releasing of oxygen with the activity of the ultra violet, one being positive the other negative releases oxygen in the system, releasing those conditions that have been forming as sacs or puses in the body.
Keep the bowels open, to be sure, so that the eliminations are normal. These will be found necessary especially as conditions are where that drainages are set up, so that the tissues that are dissolved are acted upon by the lymph in the system being created to a greater extent.
Do that, and we will find that conditions in five to six weeks will be so beneficial that those changes may be given that will be of much EASIER application.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1/30/31 EC's NL collect to Franklin F. Bradley who at the time was manufacturing the Ash: "Send immediate quarter grain Ash to [4791], ..., Va., add telegraph expense to his bill."
9/09/40 Report by Miss Christian Mae Bailey who visited people asking for reports on their readings at the same time solicited financial help in building the fire-proof vault to house the readings:
"I couldn't get very much information from this gentleman. He remembered getting the reading but couldn't find it; never remembered carrying out the reading and could not tell me what it suggested. He seems well. He didn't say whether he would or would not contribute to the vault."
