This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 24th day of February, 1929, in accordance with request made by self, through Mr. [202], via phone request of Mr. [900].

TEXT

1. EC: Yes. Now we find there are those conditions as disturb the normal physical functioning of the organs as related to this physical body, [5542]. These are rather of the specific nature, being produced by what may be called an accident in physical functioning. This, however, brought about by an undue exercise and by congestion following soon thereafter - this condition happening or occurring to the body some three years back - the result of these conditions being the outgrowth of the disturbance produced by the cell as brought the disturbance in system finding lodgement in the liver. Hence the radial forces of the system's disturbance has come from this organ in its functioning and the effect same has over various portions of the system in the cycle of their functioning. The liver being the largest individual organ in system, and its functioning of more than a twofold nature, the natural distribution of disturbances are of the nature at times that remain well hidden under the disturbance produced in other portions of the system, even when these that may be made of the excretory functioning or of the secretive functioning, as related either to digestion, assimilation, or the blood supply. These all in their cycle have been and are influenced by the condition.
2. Changes often (that is, changes of the body from altitude, or of surroundings, or of various ingredients or elements for the effectiveness of either assimilation or of digestive forces, as related either to the nerve supply or to the secretive organs of system) give momentary or temporary relief to the body. These, then, will require - as we find - rather that of a systematic, of a consistent and of a persistent application to meet the needs of the conditions, on account of the effects as created in body and the location of same as respect to the functioning of the organ itself and its relation to other portions of the body. These disturbances we find in the left lobe of the liver. Hence the radial forces at times, apparently, are more to the UPPER part of the body - throat, bronchials and lungs at times has its effect as produced by the change in the activity of the system, as well as do the glands of the body as are affected by the change in the blood supply through such pressure as produced.
3. To meet the needs of the conditions then at the present time, we would first begin with the stoppage of all other applications if the body is to be treated in its present location and surroundings. Stop all other applications, and begin with small doses of olive oil - increasing same until there is at least a tablespoonful taken at a dose, three times each day, see? beginning with half a teaspoonful, increasing gradually as the body is able to assimilate same. When this proportion has been reached, we would then begin with hot packs of castor oil over the front and side of the liver - that is, front from the portion of the body here - from the breast bone to the side; that is, along the right side, see? to the middle of the back, see? with hot packs of castor oil DIRECTLY to the body. Dip the flannels in the hot oil, applying as warm as the body is able to stand, see? Keep these up at least twice each day for at least five days, no matter what the excretions are, see? These will not overtax the system more than it is necessary. Stopping the other oils when these packs are begun, see? The diet throughout this period of the olive oil and of the castor oil should be that of EASILY digested foods - principally those of the gruels, whole wheat, fruit, nuts and such. These well mixed in the various meals as may be given, see? The olive oil will be taken at least three times each day. When the tablespoonful is reached, do not take more than one day's dosage of this before this would be stopped and the packs begun, see? After the packs have had their effect, or at the end of the five days - we would then begin with massage and the application of the radial vibration of the alternating carrier - that is, that vibration as is in the proper attunement to the body itself, but reaching such vibration reverses itself and begins again. Such may be found in any properly equipped Diathermy machine. Do that then for at least five days. Then we would give further instructions for the body. The manipulations should be followed by the vibrations from the electric MACHINES. These should be given at least every other day and five treatments would be given. Do that, [5542].
4. We are through for the present.
