Time of Reading 3:40 to 3:45 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Illinois. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [583]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there is quite a difference in the physical forces of the body in the present from that we have had here before, as well as those material changes in the environs, in the attitudes, in the desires and wishes for the body.
3. These, as we find, in the main may be aided; first through the material change that may come in the better physical forces of the body, and not a circumspect but more in line or order with the constructive forces or influences in the experience of the mental body.
4. In the physical we find these things that disturb the general welfare of the body:
5. First, in the BLOOD SUPPLY, we find this considerably disturbed through the unbalanced conditions that exist in the digestive influences or forces of the body, and the ability of the body to meet the needs of the general conditions through lack of elements in system to cause or produce - (pause) - We are through. [6/12/34 See MD's observations in 583-8, Par. R1.] [GD's note: June 13, 1934, 3:25 to 3:50 P.M., continued with same procedure except L. B. Cayce was absent. We had thought perhaps his presence had blocked the rdg., due to our attitude about his presence. We felt embarrassed with him sitting in - such intimate female disorders.]
6. EC: Yes. The incoordination through many portions of the system is accentuated by the general nerve reaction in the organs of the body that show distress, producing on the part of the circulation - that is already impaired - the attempt to adjust itself to the strains made by the lesion and the plethora condition that exists in the organs of the pelvis themselves.
7. As we find, this growth on the Fallopian tube makes for a
583-8 Page 2
disagreeable discharge at times in the vagina and through the activities of the organs of gestation, so that at the periods of menstruation there is the heaviness in the lower limbs, the tendency for swelling, and the activity of the glands that make for the gestation become involved. So, we have reactions sympathetically in the glands of the throat, the eyes at times even give distress, from these very same conditions. Through the inability of the system to adjust itself to these activities at times, the condition appears to be of the malignant nature; yet, as we find, it is NOT of a malignant nature.
8. We would set up first the proper drainages, the proper eliminations, the proper activities for the general system, through a stimulation to the ducts of the gall bladder, the activity of the pancreas, spleen, and keeping the liver in such a way and manner as to overcome these surcharges or drainages upon the system - that cause the accumulations that tend to make for this gestation or engorgement in the Fallopian tube, and on a portion of the uterus itself. The pressure there, as we find, would be overcome in this way and manner.
9. First, we would find that the general manipulations osteopathically given would relieve this general strain on the system; and that the use every third day of the violet ray - using the vaginal applicator - would tend to, with the deep manipulations that would be administered in the lumbar and lower dorsal area specifically, and the general conditions of the body itself, set up the drainages properly.
10. Also once or twice a week we would have the douches that would carry the Creolin, that will make for the cleansing and an antiseptic for the vagina and the tendencies for the secretions that are thrown off from and through the activity that will be produced by the increased circulation in this portion by the use of the violet ray.
11. We will find that these should overcome the conditions, and not be necessary for operative measures - unless this makes for a more specific centralization and a greater strain upon the whole physical forces of the body.
12. Neither will the applications of the things in the manner outlined prevent the body from carrying on in a normal manner. These precautions, though, and precautionary measures must be taken: Near those periods when there should be the menstrual activity, there MUST NOT be any heavy LIFTING, nor periods when there would be too great exercise or activity standing on the feet - especially over hot fires or hot water; but during such periods it would be
583-8 Page 3
well that the hot salt packs (SALT, not salts) be applied over the lumbar area in the back, and that the Epsom SALTS packs be applied over the puba itself, you see; that is, low down across the pelvis, you see, hot Epsom Salts packs - while the hot SALT packs would be applied over the lower kidney and lumbar area. This would be done for an evening just before the periods, and should bring not only relief but the secretions and the activities of the whole system such as to relieve this strain on the body.
13. As to the diet, there should not be too great quantities of meats at any time; rather the vegetable, fruit, citrus fruit and nut diet - these would be the better for the body. Have at least one meal each day wholly of green vegetables; that is, fresh - not green in color necessarily, but green, fresh, raw vegetables; combining such as lettuce, celery, carrots, cabbage (both the green and red), tomatoes, peppers, and the like. These may be taken with mayonnaise.
14. It would be well for the body to take small quantities of Olive Oil in the afternoons; half a teaspoonful every two hours, beginning from about twelve o'clock and taking it until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, you see.
15. And in the early mornings it would be well for the body to be stimulated with very light wine, which would be helpful to the whole assimilating system; such as Tokay, claret or the like - a small quantity; but this in the mornings, not in the evenings.
16. These, as we find, will overcome the conditions for [583].
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Will the osteopathic treatments help my mental condition and memory? (A) The mental condition and memory, as indicated, is produced more from the general nerve strain, and the attitude of the body respecting associations and relations - both in the material and in the spiritual. There should be held rather in the consciousness of the body, as related to general mental and physical relationships, that while there may be stresses and strains from those things and conditions that have come to pass, there has been and is builded in the consciousness of the body that which - through which it has passed to bring into being the souls that manifest in the bodies of the children - should be not only as an incentive for the activities but towards making for them the better opportunity through the associations with the self in the mental and spiritual attitudes and aptitudes that must be kept. For, He hath
583-8 Page 4
chosen thee as a channel. Then, meet it - the condition, the experience - in a way that will be well pleasing in the sight of the Creative Force that thou would worship as thy God. For, His ways are not past finding out. "I know, [583], for I have seen - I have heard - that the way of life is ever the way that what thou metest to thy fellow man thou must meet in thine own spiritual and mental self. I keep the way, and will guide oft in the things that are in keeping with the better developments for thine self, for thine children. For, they are thine. He hath given them in thy keeping at this time. But know that I, in mine efforts, mine measures, will be nigh unto thee when thou needest me most. I, thy friend, thine husband in the flesh, speak with thee. [Mr. [953] who died 4/28/33, leaving her with two young sons.] Know that what we had oft considered as a way, a means for verification of the consciousness after life is before thee now. Ye LIVE - I live! Life in its essence is as that which has been; for what is has been, and will be. In spirit the body suffers not, but there is the consciousness of all that has been before. "Prepare the manuscript that was partly gotten together. Have this used in a way that will help thee in thy financial straits in the present, and when this becomes necessary again for the distributions - seek; for this channel, [Edgar Cayce] thy friend, my friend, will aid thee."
