This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 11th day of August, 1930, in accordance with request made by self - Judge [3867], via friend Mr. [5545].

[Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Judge [3867].]

Time of Reading 11:20 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City. (Physical Suggestion)

  1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3867]. Now, we find in the physical forces of the body there are conditions as cause disturbances, and these - were the corrections made - would prevent there being greater distresses when the system had adjusted itself, or in its ATTEMPT to adjust itself, created other disturbances that may be more severe.

  2. These conditions, as we find, have to do with pressures as exist in the nerve system, having direct connection with the manner in which functioning organs are disturbed.

  3. These conditions, then, produce minor disturbances as appear, which may - unless corrections are made - be the GREATER disturbance in the physical functioning of the body.

  4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, we find variations as to the way pressure is created in heart’s action, though we do not find organic disturbances there; that is, no condition in the heart’s action disturbing, other than that of a reflex nature; while in the blood stream itself pressures as are created in the cerebro-spinal system have a variation as to the assimilation for the system, that disturbs the blood supply.

  5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, then, as indicated, is the greater cause or the seat of those disturbances we find for the system, and those conditions existent in the functioning organs are reflexes, or are produced BY these existent pressures. These make for the disturbance, then, in the digestive system, in the throat and bronchi, in the eliminations as related to the organs of assimilation, as in those of the pancreas and the duodenum; also as to the kidneys; and the disturbance existent between the liver AND kidney, as causes the disturbance for eliminations in the system.

  6. In the functioning of the ORGANS as related to these, we find these show rather effects spasmodically, and the disorders being, then, that there not being wholly that of the proper incentives through those plexus from which the vitality radiates to the system from the nerve system, as related to the blood carrying, and as to the functioning of organs, these are PARTIALLY disturbed, and not wholly. These reflexes, as we find, come from those centers in the 6th and 7th dorsal, and from the 4th lumbar, reflexing to the phrenic nerve in that of the 4th and 5th dorsal. Also in the hypogastric centers do we find these indications.

  7. In meeting the needs, then, of the conditions of the body, we will find that with the removal of the pressure as exists in the cerebro-spinal system, and with the cleansing of the system as related to that of the alimentary canal, that of the applications as will keep for a more equal balance in that ASSIMILATED for the body, the disturbances would disappear.

  8. Removing these, then, by the manipulative and CORRECTIVE measures, in the region; being mindful of the diet, that these do not carry those for making of fermentations, and do not carry too much of those that make for acidity in the system; and for the corrections throughout, with those of the vibratory forces as may be used in the sinusoidal, these will bring for the body the nearer normal reaction. Ready for questions.

  9. (Q) Where should the sinusoidal be applied? (A) In the 4th cervical and the 4th dorsal. Then, to make the more positive, in the 4th dorsal and in the umbilicus center.

  10. (Q) How often? (A) From once to three times each week.

  11. (Q) How often manipulations? (A) Necessary for the proper corrections of those conditions existent in the cerebro-spinal system!

  12. (Q) What causes the ulcerations on the legs? (A) The improper circulation and the improper coordination in elimination, as indicated.

  13. (Q) Why do the ulcerations close up without medication, and remain closed? (A) The system attempting to adjust itself. The poisons being liberated in the system, and - as indicated by that as given - as to how assimilation of conditions change in the blood supply; there being at times sufficient of that in the white blood as to care for the proper coordination, in making coagulation properly, this closes. Then again, the system NOT adjusting itself, the least indication in the capillary and lymphatic circulation, where too much has been carried in, causing too much acid, then we have a re-occurence.

  14. (Q) Why is that condition only evidenced in the legs? (A) From the pressure as is seen in the 4th lumbar, this makes for the disturbance in the lower portion of the system.

  15. (Q) Has the body internal varicose veins? (A) No.

  16. (Q) Is the condition primarily due to blood condition or infection? (A) Primarily the condition produced by pressure in lumbar and dorsal region, that affects the blood supply, causing infection through the creation of too much acids in system.

  17. (Q) Curable from treatment? (A) As outlined, were these corrections made, being mindful of the conditions as has been outlined - curable, sure.

  18. (Q) Any specific diet necessary? (A) Beware of meats, and most of that as taken be little of sweets and MORE of those that will make for an ALKALIN system.

  19. (Q) Any special exercise? (A) Exercise in the open as much as possible, but not necessarily SPECIAL exercise.

  20. (Q) How long at a time should the sinusoidal be applied? (A) Two to three minutes.

  21. (Q) Diathermy good? (A) Diathermy VERY good, but the activity of the reverse coil in the sinusoidal is better than diathermy in this condition.

  22. (Q) Would colonic irrigations be good? (A) Not necessarily, if the eliminations are kept properly.

  23. (Q) Does this condition cause the constipation? (A) As is indicated, that the CONDITIONS as are aggravating in the system are the result of pressures in the cerebro-spinal system, producing the other conditions in body.

  24. (Q) What causes the pressure? (A) Segments too close together!

  25. (Q) Would a chiropractor help? (A) Chiropractor would help, but the manipulations WITH the adjustments will be better.

  26. We are through for the present.
