Edgar Cayce Readings, 5644-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Now, we have the body here. This body...[Mumbled something we couldn't get] -
We find there would be rather the warnings for the body in the present situation or conditions as regarding the physical forces, for while recuperative forces are active within the physical body, there are weaknesses exhibiting themselves, and there are tendencies that may be overcome. These, as we find, have most to do with the creating - at the earliest time possible - the equalization of the eliminating centers of the whole system. That is, there are more than one channel of elimination. One that has suffered through inflammation of the pleura and of the walls of the lungs proper, is either following such conditions congested through that region and not sufficient elimination, or a weakness is apparent and there becomes the attempt of the system to overcrowd or to eliminate through these channels, when the distribution of eliminations should be throughout the system. The tendency here is for weakness in the bronchia, and naturally inflammation will be easy to set up. While, will there be the proper distribution of energies as are exercised in the system throughout the whole of the cerebrospinal nerve system, much of this tendency and this weakness may be avoided and the body brought to a near NORMAL condition, and stronger in this direction - possibly STRONGER than before the occurrence.
This we would have done through that of osteopathic manipulation and adjustment. Better, in this particular case, through this mode than others - for with the adjustments of centers in the cerebrospinal system, there will go also a stimulation of the ENDS of the nerves that radiate from such plexus and that lead or coordinate in same through the sympathetic system. This, then, would offer the channel for the proper distributions.
Well, too, that there is care taken by the body in recuperation, as to the character of food values that are taken in the system. There having been so much inflammation, naturally there is the destruction of the great NUMBERS in the red blood corpuscles, the body becoming deficient in this direction. Not out of the ordinary, to be sure, under such conditions - but that THAT assimilated by the system is sufficient and of the character that will be such as to restore the equilibrium in the blood count, and not cause ANY form of either anemia nor of any condition that would disturb the circulatory system, either as to internal, central, or of the capillary nature. Then, sufficient of those carrying calcium, that the bones may be strengthened, and that in the replenishing of the blood supply - or red cells from same - there may be that as builds and restores same, preventing chalkness or brittleness in bone or that of the sinew ends becoming stiffened by the non-activity through the taking up of properties to meet the needs. Also there should be a well divisioned nature in the food values of both potash and iodine, that the equilibrium in the system is kept in an ALKALIN reactory state, and that drosses do not accumulate in any of those portions of system, in glands that must supply nutriment to the functioning in the physical body.
These adhered to, these considered seriously, these taken persistently - in a manner as to follow these outlines - will insure the full, complete, recuperations, and bring a better physical body THROUGH WHICH the mental being (which is good - for he should be a lawyer) will manifest. Ready for questions.
(Q) About how long will this take?
(A) That depends entirely upon the measures taken in existent conditions. As given, these should be begun immediately, in consideration of same. Then, in ten days - two weeks - begin the thorough massage, and in ten days or two weeks these would add many years of better activity, will these conditions as given be followed out. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1/19/30 Letter from [5644]'s father [5643]: "...I wish you to make a health reading as soon as possible of my son [5644] who is now at ..., Va.; he has been there since Dec. 14th with pneumonia, - is now convalescent but not quite strong enough to sit up. He will likely have to remain in the hospital ten days or more. If possible, it would be fine if the reading could be hastened so we may have the advice by the time he leaves the hospital... Please advise date and hour of reading..."

REPORTS

2/08/30 Letter from [5644]'s mother [2351]: "...Our son's [5644]'s reading was received, and I thank you for it. According to your suggestion, he goes daily to the osteopath here. This physician here (osteopathic) seems to understand the case and the boy is improving fast each day - in fact, his improvement is remarkable..."
4/07/30 Letter from [5644]'s mother [2351]: "...In regard to my son, [5644], I wrote you some time ago that he was doing well after having followed your directions..."
6/28/37 Letter from [5644]'s mother [2351]: "...Years ago, while in ..., Va., my husband [5643] and I met your son, and also your wife. Our boy [5644] had been ill there and we asked your advice, with most excellent results..."
8/19/44 Letter from [5644]'s mother [2351]: "...Our son [5644] had pneumonia, and we asked for your directions in regard to his recuperation. These you gave us, and he was restored most rapidly, for which we were more than grateful to you and the Spirit that used you. Our son, [5644], soon returned to ... [school] and was graduated that June..."

4/28/70 GD's note: While attending A.R.E. Conference this week he requested and was given another copy of his reading.
