Edgar Cayce Readings, 5491-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5491]. Now, we find there are many conditions that are abnormal, and that are disconcerting as respecting the physical forces of the body. The beginning, the cause, as exists in the system in the present, or as would be apparent, is LITTLE of the REAL cause. Much has been of an inhibitive nature, yet - as we find - with time, with attention, with proper precautions, there may be builded in the physical forces of this body, [5491] that which will make manifest a much nearer NORMAL, and the body - physical not only be good, but be good for something. In the present, little may be accomplished, physically or mentally, yet these are as dormant.
These be the conditions, then, as we find them with this body, [5491] we are speaking of:
IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find deficient in quantity and quality, both as to red and white blood supply. The DISTRIBUTION of same very good, considering the quantity or quality as regarding the various elements that make up same, for the activities of same are not as of a normal coordination with that as is assimilated for resuscitation of life giving forces or elements within the body.
IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, here we find many of the disorders as are exhibited in the distressed condition, for in some of the glands of the system there has been that builded as calls for the taking up of the vitality as is necessary to create within the body itself that of the sufficiency of the nerve energy, or of the gray forces within the nerve cords themselves. Hence many of the ganglia along the cerebro-spinal system show little association with the normal activities with the cerebro-spinal and the sympathetic according; so we find irrationality at times - or unrationality, rather than irrationality, would be the better expression - for the periods come and go, of their normal associations, while from outward appearance these, we find, would be of near normal reaction. In their activity, or even by the subjugation of the reflexes as may be seen in the limbs, or in the normal activity of those that are voluntary and involuntary reactions - even with that force as makes for the activities in the eyelids themselves - those of the organs of the system as act within same, show their reflexes to be abnormal in their activity.
IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES, these are as SUBJUGATED TO the conditions as exist, so that little strength - or little vitality may be exhibited, whether as reflexly to the activity of the consciousness - as related to mental forces - or as related to the purely physical reactions of the system. Hence we have at periods, when most any activity may call for those of the immediate action, as to forces the activities of - whether digestion, respiratory system, heart's action, pulsation, as related to those functionings of the spleen, liver, or pancreas - ALL show that they are subnormal in their functioning, due principally to the inferior forces as come through the impulses from centers which radiate to the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic, to the organs themselves.
In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions - first we will find that it will be necessary that there be the reviving of the forces as related to those of the nerve system, as carry through those of the glands themselves. The more that may be done that is in accord WITH that as may be builded by suggestion to the system, the more susceptible and the more response will the body make. Leave the body along, and no activities or no coordination brought about through suggestion or medicinal forces, or the retarding of conditions by the according of the impulses through reflexes as may be created by manipulation, and these will only create for the system that of dissatisfied, of discontent, within the system's reaction.
In beginning, then, we would add to the system internally those of small doses of the Chloride of Gold, as related to the BROMIDES of Soda. These would be both in their relationship, one grain to one-half ounce of distilled water. When given, there would be two minims of each for the first dose, the first day - gradually increased until there was being given those of at least eight drops. Discontinue, then, for three days, and then begin over again with the one drop.
We would also add to the system those of Muriated Iron, of Gum Camphor, and Sulfate of Morphia. These would be builded as in this proportion:
These may be made into capsules, or into pellets - thirty of same. One would be given each day.
We would also add those of the vibratory forces as are seen in those of the nitrate of silver in the vibrations of the WET appliance. we would EQUALIZE same through the system, through that of the manipulations - allaying those of the centers that show tautness from time to time, for these will be found to vary. This will require time, patience, attention, to bring results - but results may be accomplished in the body.
The diet should consist of those forces as build for BLOOD in the system, especially - but not too MUCH of same through meat. Rather the VEGETABLE forces, the vegetable salts, the fruit salts, or nut oils. These, added in their variations, will build for the better conditions in this body - [5491]. Ready for questions.
(Q) How long before the body will show any marked improvement?
(A) Five to six weeks.
(Q) Will prescriptions just given relieve headaches?
(A) Will relieve headaches. Will be necessary, to be sure, that the alimentary canal - and the relief necessary through the sluggishness as may be suspected in the improper circulation, improper digestion and assimilation - these would be acted through those of the colonic forces, as to relieve the pressures through the system. We are through for the present.
