Exercises, however, do much of this; and another woman who had failed to do her exercises needed the osteopathic or chiropractic corrections afterward. (288-47)

A 35-year-old woman, [98], was advised to have osteopathic treatments to the dorsal region-once a week only.

Every other treatment, however, "should be a full gentle massage, manipulating all of the centers throughout the cerebrospinal system; not neglecting the sacral and coccyx." (98-1)

One osteopath was directed to treat the third, fourth, and ninth dorsal areas especially concerning liver activity. (416-14)

Another direction was to have treatments after the glycerin-carbolic acid combination was used and salt heat was applied across the lower back-then colonics in three days. And then, the manipulations. (462-14)

The violet ray was to be used for 15 minutes along both sides of the entire spine in one instance, immediately after the osteopath had finished.ﾊ In reading 106-12, manipulations were suggested to "relax the body from the centers that radiate through this portion of the body, or specifically from the seventh and eighth dorsal to the fourth lumbar."

So it can be seen that more general malfunctions of the body need attention.

Hot Epsom salt packs or hot castor oil packs were recommended to be used across the lumbar and sacral areas to relieve tension and aid when manipulations were given.

In one instance (28847), gentle rubs were suggested to be given across the small of the back with mutton tallow, spirits of turpentine and spirits of camphor equal parts-with a hot pack placed over the back afterwards.

And in another instance, diathermy was to be applied "giving low heat between cerebrospinal and sympathetic systems." (337-23)

Diet is always important in keeping the body balanced.

Here it is advised to keep down the acidity which is often very high.

An alkaline-reacting diet then is most important.

Less sugars, less starch; fish, fowl, or lamb, but no red meats.

Little coffee or tea-rather Ovaltine or cocoa for most individuals.

Whole wheat bread is OK but cut out beer especially, and liquors.

No fried foods.

Condiments or pickles or the like hinder the flow of lymph through the lower portions of the abdominal area; with hemorrhoids, it is in that area that lymph is absent and acidity is highest.

Fresh green vegetables help the eliminations, which in turn aid in the assimilation of substances which build and replenish the physical body.

In specific questions asked by [257] both raw and canned tomatoes were said to be well for the body.

Olive oil in small amounts was suggested several times as food for the body and helpful to the intestinal tract.

Although not in this particular set of readings, it is present elsewhere that garlic is highly beneficial to the intestines.

For better eliminations, colonics were frequently suggested, as well as ordinary enemas.

Glyco-Thymoline added to the water was often seen to be beneficial.

Eno salts were suggested as alternatives to the colonics.

Two selections describe interesting information about this particular laxative:

Q-9.Is it good for the system to soften the stool with a salt which I am now using?

Carlsbad Salts?

A-9. The use of the Eno salts would be preferable.

Here is the variation: Eno is a vegetable or fruit salts, while Carlsbad is a mineral - and hence [the Eno is] active more upon the upper portion of the duodenum and through the upper portion of the ejunum in creating a great quantity of the lymph circulation.

And read or study that which we have indicated, as to what takes place with the lymph in the activities of assimilation.

The fruit salts would be the better, and occasionally an oil. (257-200)

Q-6.What is a good laxative for this body?

A-6. Eno salts is the best laxative for this body, for this is of the fruit nature and not mineral-that would cause disturbance or hardening activities through the conditions in the stomach, as well as through those activities in the liver and the kidneys.

This also should be taken in just small doses, almost every day, for periods of a week at a time - and will be most beneficial.(462-13)

It would seem that the fruit laxative increases the flow of lymph in the walls of the upper intestines where assimilation takes place; whereas a mineral laxative would make assimilation more difficult through a "hardening" process.

Improper assimilation of nutrients affects not only the organs involved but the entire body, and in this instance is a hindrance to the process of overcoming the hemorrhoids.

To correct hemorrhoids in the early stages, simply treat the local condition with an application and follow through with the stretching exercise.

But when significant body malfunction has brought about the condition, the underlying causes must also be attended to, or the hemorrhoids will not be resolved.

III.Suggested Therapeutic Regimen

Therapy for hemorrhoids should be directed first at the local condition, then at the underlying causes.

A simplified program of therapy is the procedure Cayce followed most often, with many variations, of course.

The following regimen might be termed a basic approach, with deviations made according to the needs of the particular individual, and in line with the material already presented in the earlier part of this commentary

Local Treatment

1. Use Tim (preferably) or Pazo or a similar substance after each bowel movement.

It can be used directly on the hemorrhoid or injected with a bulb syringe into the anal orifice, or both.

When used with bulb syringe, one to two teaspoonfuls may be inserted into the area above the sphincters.

Preparations other than Tim are now available with applicators for use internally.

This should be used consistently, then, until the hemorrhoid is gone and the body returned to normal.

2. For acute, very painful, hemorrhoids, ice can be applied directly; or cold, then hot, sitz baths; or castor oil packs directly to the hemorrhoid.

3. The glycerin-carbolic acid-Nujol mixture is helpful in preventing scar tissue and in alleviating irritation, so is very useful for rectal bleeding; this best used once a week until all signs of bleeding or irritation have disappeared.

4. The exercise - stretching on tiptoe and bending forward should be done in every case of hemorrhoids five or six times, very slowly, morning and evening, and should be continued until all evidence of this trouble can no longer be found, and until the causative factors have at least been addressed.

General Care

1. Diet.

An alkaline-reacting diet, including green vegetables, fruits, vegetable and fruit juices, fish, fowl and lamb.

Avoid too much starch, fats, fried foods, pork and beef, spices and condiments, beer and liquor.

These are the basic rules.

Studying diet books helps to develop a new way of eating and thinking about foods.

2. Manipulative treatments by osteopath or chiropractor-with special attention to the lumbo-sacral-coccygeal area.

The rest of the spine may also need attention-this to be according to the need of the specific body and the capabilities of the physician.

Abnormal relationships between the cerebrospinal and the autonomic nervous system need to be corrected.

3. Correction of constipation, either through colonics, given regularly, by having manipulations, or by using laxatives, such as Eno salts, which were mentioned specifically in these readings.

It has been my experience also that several drops of castor oil on the tongue at bedtime provides for better regularity of the bowels.

4. Packs across the low back - hot Epsom salts or hot castor oil used either at home or prior to manipulative treatments would be helpful as long as the hemorrhoids persist.

They - as well as the diet, the manipulations and the rest - aid in correcting the high acidity and lack of normalcy in the rectal area.

Soaking a flannel pack in a strong solution of Epsom salts (two cups to a quart of water) or castor oil then applying hot over the lumbo-sacral area.

Then, placing plastic over the pack and a heating pad over that will continue the heat for the next hour or hour and a half.

These packs can be applied twice a week, if used at home.

5. A general exercise program should be adopted (walking is the best, according to the readings), and then continued as a regular part of one's life.

6. Stresses are usually the result of one's rebellion against what one has chosen to meet in this lifetime.

Thus rebellion is really against oneself.

There are many ways to work at the level of the mind and the emotions.ﾊ Cayce always suggested the fruits of the spirit in one's life as a way of facing oneself. gentleness, kindness, forgiveness, longsuffering, understanding and the like.

Study Group work (Search for God Groups) is one way of strengthening one's approach in this manner.

Ideals must be set at some point in life, and this is always a choice.

The mind builds either obstructions or a way of success: and it is ours to choose.

Perhaps the best way to end a commentary on a problem so close to the manner in which we eliminate the drosses in our bodily life is to quote Edgar Cayce's spiritual injunctions to two of these people who suffered from hemorrhoids:

Q-12.Any other advice?

A-12. Keep the mental and spiritual attitudes in constructive ways of thought; for, the mind is the builder.(462-13)

Keep the purpose right-creative ever; judging no one, but keeping self in that attunement to Creative Forces. (2823-2)
