Severe joint pain just can't take it any more ...

[Guest guest]

I've got fibromyalgia and arthritis . I live in Arizona so it doesn't

get severely cold to often .But the past few days it's been that dry

snapping cold . I goofed and ran outside today barefoot ! The cold shot

right up my legs into my entire spine it's been beyond a level 10 pain

all day and even takeing three 750mg. percocets at a time doesn't even

take the edge off... I use a lot of herbs but even they are not working

for this ??

I'm hopeing somebody has a few ideas to share with me ...

 

 

 

 

 

[Guest guest]

Put some dry yellow mustard in a container with hot water as hot as you can

stand and soak both feet in it.

Percoset probably is the cause of some of your symptoms.

Peace, thyme

Arthritis and joint care

 

There are about 150 different types of arthritis recognised by

rheumatologists for the term is used to cover a wide range of

illnesses covering the muscular skeletal system. Basically however

arthritis refers to inflammation of the joints the most common being

osteoarthritis.

Less common but far more disabling is rheumatoid arthritis, which is

usually a more chronic disease. Usual methods of treatment involve

aspirin which acts to suppress inflammation Cortisone that seems to

be effective but extended use has shown side effects to the adrenal

glands, which impairs the body to withstand stress. There is also a

tendency for the symptoms to intensify when the cortisone is

withdrawn.

From the Edgar cayce perspective

As a preventative measure Cayce said that one should have a peanut

oil rub or massage once a week over the entire body, the peanut oil

being used liberally, he said no one need fear arthritis.

Causes

Cayce describes the causes, which were limited to seven categories:

poor assimilation, poor elimination, impaired circulation, glandular

malfunction, karmic and psychological causes previous treatments,

spinal sublaxations and injuries.

According to cayce there was a pattern with improper eliminations in

some people, which began with the production of excess stomach acid,

a condition that sometimes came from suppressed anger and other

stress related conditions. The excess acid tended to decrease the

lymphatic system.

 

Poor assimilation was also a factor, with some foods actually

becoming poisonous due to their inability to be utilised properly.

Constipation resulted.As a contributing factor circulation was

mentioned in 40% of cases. In 8% of cases glandular misfunction was

sited as the first cause and in 29% of the readings as a

contributing factor.

 

Karma was also mentioned as a cause as was the bearing of

resentments, this was considered to be a major factor in the

development of the disease.

 

Previous treatments were also mentioned with one man being told that

certain immunisation injections had disturbed his circulation

resulting in an arthritic condition.Spinal misalignments and

injuries were also noted as a first cause, most of the readings

mentioned the coccyx or the lower portion of the spine as the source

of the problems.Other contributing causes were diet,exercise,and

mental attitude.

Treatment

1. Foods to avoided were white flour and its products, white bread,

pasta etc. fried foods, carbonated drinks, beer and hard liquor, [an

occasional glass of red wine was OK] and white potatoes but the

skins were OK.

 

2. Combinations of foods to be avoided were starches and sugar,

coffee and tea with milk or cream and citrus fruits with cereals or

dairy products.

A typical diet placed emphasis on vegetables and fruits whole grains

and light proteins.highly advised was a decrease in meats and

starches with meat being completely excluded from the diet for a

period of time .In severe cases a semi liquid diet was advised to

avoid strain on the system.

 

3. Massage,was indicated in 63% of the readings and this was to be

given usually after another treatment such as as Epsom salt baths or

after a steam bath or the use of the wet cell device. Specific oils

were advised to be used with the massage, which were equal parts of

olive oil with peanut oil and tincture of myrrh. Prepared by heating

a small amount of olive oil and then adding the myrrh. It was

mentioned to use the oils freely and as much as the body could

absorb. Other oils were lanolin, mineral oil, olio pine needles,

sassafras oil, witch hazel, oil of wintergreen, cedarwood oil,

mustard oil, kerosene and tincture of benzoin.

Cayce said to heat the oil before use to aid absorbtion. Massage

were to be given in a firm but gentle rotary motion not pinching the

muscles but drawing the circulation by moving the hands smoothly

over the skin. Special attention was to given to the neck and spine

and to parts of the body where there was discomfort. The direction

given for the massage was from the trunk to the extremities of the

body. Frequency of massage varied but the most common was once

weekly, once monthly and three times weekly.

 

4. Atomidine an edgar cayce product which can be got from the usa or

in england was also recommended in 42% of cases but due to its high

iodine content this was recommended in specific dosages and

treatment cycles. Excessive iodine in the system could overstimulate

the thyroid and result in harmful effects in the body. Never take

atomidine when you are using thyroid medicine or other drugs as the

drugs could react with each other and have undesirable effects.

The most common dosage was one drop taken daily for five days

followed by a five-day rest period then one-drop daily then rest for

five days. Then resume the cycle.Daily dosages ranged from one to

eight drops daily. It was recommended that atomidine was taken in

half glass of water in the morning before eating. Frequently

atomidine was coordinated with Epsom salt baths and massage with the

baths being taken during the rest period and immediately following

the atomidine sequence.

 

5. Improving the elimination process within the body,used in about

37% of cases the most frequent methods were castor oil packs,

enemas, colonics, and eno salts. Body temperature water was to be

used for the colonic which was to be followed by a rinse with an

antiseptic such as Glyco thymoline one-tablespoon to a quart of

water. Warm castor oil packs can be also applied over the abdominal

area together with internal doses of olive oil. The packs were made

by heating the oil and soaking the oil in woolen flannel- not

boiling the oil but as hot as you could stand. The pack was then

placed over say the stomach area or liver usualy with a plastic bag

over the top to prevent soiling the lot can be strapped into place

and then heated or kept warm.

Castor oil is also used on any arthritic, rheumatic, or muscular and

joint pain as unction. Basically an infra red lamp is placed 12-18

inches from the part to be massaged. Apply the castor oil on the

painful area and let the lamp warm it and this will help the oil to

penetrate the skin, this done for about 5-10 mins. Then keep rubbing

with the fingers and hand until the oil is worked in. Keep putting

more oil on and massaging continued for 10-60 mins. Massage was also

very helpful, to be given usually after another treatment such as an

Epsom salt bath.

 

If the reaction to colonics and enemas was to severe, emphasis was

placed on gentler methods such as Epsom salt baths, steam baths and

a diet rich in laxative foods.

Epsom salt baths were in a range of five pounds of Epsom salts to

about 20 galls of water for a modern tub and 8-10 pounds for an old

tub. Be in the tub for about 10-12 mins to start with and then work

up to 20 mins. Further stimulation to the body could be given with

using massage or rubbing the extremities of the body while in the

bath. Temp of bath was to be as hot as possible up to the point of

pain.

Epsom salt packs can be also applied when needed over areas of

extreme pain. The salts apparently act by drawing out toxins. you

can also immerse any local part of the body in a smaller basin too

with people who have arthritic hands or other parts of the body.

also you can form a pack ,by dissolving say 1 pound of salts in a

small basin or pot and as much water necessary to saturate a towel.

apply as hot as possible over the area indicated and keep repeating

the applications for 2-3 hrs .where possible use an infra red lamp

or other means to keep the pack hot. Where there is crippling of

the joints of the hands, pain of arthritis or inflammation of the

tendons considerable relief can be found by using an Epsom salt bath

and massage. Use a large quantity of the salts about 1 pound in the

water though, not just a spoon full. Soak the affected area for

about 5 mins and then massage the affected area under water, rotate

the joints and soak again for another 5-10 mins.

 

6. Spinal manipulation such as osteopathy although chiropractic and

neropathy were also recommended. Cayce claimed there was no better

mechanical therapy as good as spinal manipulation .One could start

at the base of the spine and sometimes at the top- cayce gave both

methods, and you could also work from the outer portions of the body

inwards.

 

7. Mental attitude was essential to healing; it had to be conducive

to the healing. Positive thinking opened the body to the source of

all healing- that which is spiritual and unitive in nature. Cayce

said that only the self stood in the way of healing.

 

8. Persistence and consistency of the treatments was highly

desirable.

 

9. Fume baths using a cabinet steam bath were also recommended. In

19% of readings, the baths were to relax the body and stimulate the

perspiratory system so it could throw off toxins and waste through

the skin. Various substances were to be added to the baths such as

witch hazel, which was most frequent. Atomidine, pine oil, Epsom

salts and a mixture of witch hazel and iodine, pine and wintergreen

oil, or pine oil and tincture of benzoin. To avoid strain an ice bag

or cold cloth could be placed on the head. In almost all cases

massage was recommended after the sweat.

 

10. Electrotherapy was also mentioned, using the edgar cayce device

known as the wet cell in the most severe cases. The impedance

device was also used for 20 min in cycles of four at a time;

meditation and devotional thoughts were advised during the

treatment. The violet ray was used in conjunction with other

treatments such as internal doses of chloride of gold and bromide of

soda. These were to be taken just before the violet ray treatment

and the ultraviolet light applied over the spine and lower limbs

treatment time varied from 1.5 ¡V 30 min and daily ¡V once every 2

weeks.

 

11. Internal doses of gold and soda ¡V minute amounts of chloride of

gold and bicarb of soda in half a glass of water.

 

 

Although not specifically recommended by cayce spiritual healing has

the capacity to be very beneficial in all illnesses- see other pages

on this fascinating subject.

 

From the Reilly health book which is essential reading to all those

who are interested in getting and keeping well are the directions

for the Epsom salt bath.

Relief has been obtained to joints, pain of arthritis, of

inflammation of the tendons by using Epsom salts and massage. A

seamstress was sent to Reilly, using a Epsom salt hand bath and

massage for two weeks she was able to close her hand something she

had not been able to do two weeks before. The same treatment was

applied with many musicians. Make a hot Epsom salt solution by

adding one pound of salts to a basin or bowl. Soak the hand for

about 5 mins and then massage the hand with the other hand under

water, really work the fingers rotating the joints then soak again

for another 5-10 mins. After about 20 mins of soaking take the hands

out and massage with peanut oil all the way up the arms, the same

procedure can be used with the feet.

Epsom salt baths were also advised with amounts varying between 5-20

lbs of salts to the bath tub starting at 101degress and working up

to 106-108, staying in the tub for 10-12 mins to start and then

gradually increase to 20 mins. An ice bag over certain areas with

help you bear the heat. This he found particularly good therapy for

stiff joints muscular pain arthritis and rheumatism for increasing

the metabolism and the work of the heart and relieving pain. Caution

was needed with cardiovascular and high blood pressure cases.

 

11.One of the most important principles outlined by cayce and others

where people are suffering from any condition is to do everything

they can to help others in whatever capacity they can. Cayce

frequently mentioned that this would bring faster results. This is a

great ingredient in helping all people to transmute their own karma.

See other pages on this particularly important treatment.

 

12 Using Egyptian oil,- an edgar cayce product

One lady reported pains and growths are gone and arthritis did not

come to her this year. Another reports that her knees were so

swollen but after using the oil swelling went down, she uses the oil

2-3 times a week. This other lady reports that soaking in Epsom

salts then applying the oil gave her the best results. Pain seems to

ease immediately and use of the effected parts returns far more

rapidly than ever before.

The oil had also relieved paralysis, which some poor man had on his

left side.

Another lady in her 80s reports says the oil is the only thing,

which keeps her arthritic knees. There is a lot more to the research

covering arthritis including aspects of diet,glands,etc

 

 

 

Rheumatoid Arthritis

This is a chronic inflammatory condition; it may apparently begin at

any time, the usual onset is between 20-40. The symptoms are joint

swelling stiffness, warmth tenderness and pain; this can be very

debilitating.

Cayce gave 19 readings for eleven people with this condition with an

age range of 22-72 yrs old.

Causes

1. Glandular incordination mentioned in 7 cases and was a major

factor .It was the lack of proper hormonal secretions which

contributed to problems with the circulation, the blood and calcium

levels and the proper absorption of minerals from food.

 

2. Improper eliminations which would lead to a build up of toxins

within the body was sited in 6 cases

3. In four cases spinal misalignment especially in the lower spine

which could interfere with the proper nerve impulses action.

 

4. Poor assimilations were mentioned as a contributing factor in

three cases.

 

 

Treatment

1.Ten people received dietary advice with the emphasis on alkaline

reacting foods ¡V raw vegetables such as carrots, cabbage,

watercress, celery and lettuce. Served in any combination for one

meal a day. Leafy veg was recommended over the pod variety. Strongly

advised were food sources, which contained specific minerals such as

magnesium, silicon, sulphur and iodine. Avoid of red meats, fried

foods, and starches.

 

2.Nine people were recommended massage with a combination of olive

oil and peanut oil with the limbs joints and extremities receiving

special attention.

 

3. Electrotherapy was mentioned in 7 cases where there was evidence

of nerve deterioration, the wet cell was to be used to combat

this.the violet ray and the radial appliance were also mentioned.

 

4, Hydrotherapy was mentioned in 5 cases and took the form of Epsom

salt baths this was to relax the body and relieve pain.

Four people were given instructions for internal doses of atomidine

to improve glandular coordination.

 

5.Gold chloride was mentioned in 4 cases once by itself and with

bromide or bicarbonate of soda. This was to help the nervous system.

 

6.To relieve pain in the joints cayce advised packs of Epsom salts

and in two cases castor oil pack and one of glycothymoline.

 

 

7.Sedatives were mentioned in three cases in the form of aspirin,

cobra venom [to be administered by a doctor versed in this field]

and a capsule consisting of eucalyptus, rectified oil of turpentine

and benzosal.

 

8.Kaldak tonic and stimulants for eliminations were also mentioned.

 

 

9.Adjustments to the entire spinal column were suggested in four

cases.

 

Although not specifically recommended by cayce spiritual/reiki

healing has the capacity to be very beneficial in all illnesses- see

other pages on this fascinating subject.

 

 

12 Spiritual healing, Reiki, find a good healer - but someone you

feel an attunement with at a soul level otherwise you can have

negative results making your situation worse. We are know witnessing

one of the great turnings in our century where old healing practices

are re-emerging such as Reiki healing, Colour healing, Seichim,

Spiritual healing, Osteopathy, Massage and many others.

 

Some of these are thousands of years old, Spiritual healing is one

of those. It is exactly the same kind of energy used by Jesus in so

many of his healings.

 

Put simply Spiritual Healing, Reiki is the transference of certain

energies through a channel which could be a person or an animal or

even the planet, the wavelengths of this healing energy are well

outside the limits of most scientific equipment but a lot of people

can feel this energy .

 

The energy in my experience has been very uplifting and beautiful

which can touch and vastly influence parts of us such as the spirit

or soul or our mental selves and our physical selves. It can bring a

steadiness and balance and sense of well-being second to none .Its

limits as to its use are in the realms of the infinite.

 

A very simplistic analogy would be to liken it to a massive energy

reservoir which can be tapped into by people and animals which act

as the conduits of this energy and like wires of electricity some of

which are bigger than others and so therefore big wires can transmit

more energy than smaller wires.

 

Bearing this point in mind the reader can soon appreciate that going

to one healer can be vastly different than going to another as it is

with so many things whether it be dentists, doctors, policeman or

what have you.

 

Spiritual Healing is natural healing energy, which is present in

this universe. Spiritual healers work in many different ways to some

it is the laying on of hands onto a person or animal, to others it

can be sent through the power of thought. To be even in the presence

of some healers can have a profound and beneficial effect on people

and one wishes that there were more people giving off just as

beautiful vibrations as these people were this world would truly

transform it

 

One of the most important principles outlined by cayce and others

where people are suffering from any condition is to do everything

they can to help others in whatever capacity they can. Cayce

frequently mentioned that this would bring faster results. This is a

great ingredient in helping all people to transmute their own karma.

Some feedback

 

My healing was major. I have been free of flare-ups for three years

at this writing. Because of this level of healing, I know I would

not change a thing about what I did! By adhering to Cayce's

instructions as closely as possible, I hit on an effective

combination of Atomidine, Epsom Salts, and Massage Oils. Though not

easy, I consider the problems I encountered to be very minor

compared with the benefits

 

Castor Oil Packs & Ice as Needed Daily use of Castor Oil Packs has

been shown to dissolve arthritic spurs, but I used them to treat

local inflammation. Before consulting with Dr. McGarey, I kept

serious inflammation flare-ups under control the same way I had been

doing for ten years, with Castor Oil Packs. I also applied ice,

sometimes alternating the two with severe flare-ups. Ice alone is

sufficient for minor flare-ups. Only once did Cayce recommend Castor

Oil Packs for treating arthritis, but they had been extremely

helpful, so I continued with them. The worst flare-up I experienced

as part of my recovery involved my right hip, much of my pelvic area

and my lower back. The pain was excruciating with even the slightest

movement, so I only got out of bed to crawl to the bathroom. I was

unable to walk for four days. My doctor would very likely have

treated me with cortisone shots if I had called him.

 

Cayce says clearly that anti-inflammatory medications are not

helpful, and in fact make things worse. I felt cortisone shots would

prevent the flare-up from carrying out its corrective purpose. I was

right. Day and night for a week, I alternated castor oil packs with

ice, noting gradual improvement. The hip not only completely healed,

it ceased to trouble me thereafter.

 

The Edgar Cayce arthritis healing methods for me were a resounding

success. After only 6 weeks, I noticed a greatly reduced need for

toxic anti-inflammatory drugs, and soon eliminated them altogether.

Within a few weeks of my conversation with Dr. McGarey, all major

symptoms suddenly subsided. The general pain in my body and joints

was virtually gone, as were the flare-ups and swelling. I felt deep

release from pain and the aggressiveness of the illness, as if the

arthritis had been stopped and could not return unless I went back

to old habits.

Edgar Cayce's remedies gave my body a life and vigor it had not

known in more than a decade! I was continuing to heal when I

foolishly allowed parts of the program to lapse. Had I followed the

Cayce instruction of applying the full program persistently and

consistently for a period of time well beyond the cessation of

symptoms, I would today be in remission or completely cured.

Nevertheless, three years later I remain in a much improved state of

health, and completely free of the acute inflammation flare-ups by

which I was literally crippled prior to the program. I fully credit

Edgar Cayce's miraculous therapies for this dramatic and sustained

improvement. Until I applied them seriously, I deteriorated. After I

applied them, I improved rapidly. Edgar Cayce's genius gave me back

my life.

Research from the meridian institute

Meridian Institute, 1853 Old Donation Parkway, Suite 1

Virginia Beach, VA 23454

(757) 496-6009

Ran by a team of doctors the meridian institute carried out a brief

study on a few of the cayce treatments including Arthritis, a brief

summary is here for fuller details please contact them or their

website meridianinstitute.com/

 

Seven individuals participated in a 10-day live-in

instructional/treatment program in November 1998, in which they were

taught the elements of the Edgar Cayce therapies for arthritis. One

person had rheumatoid arthritis, and six had osteoarthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by inflammatory changes in the

synovial membranes of the joints and the areas around the joints and

by atrophy and rarification of the bones. In osteoarthritis there is

generally no inflammation and no spreading or migratory type of

joint involvement. Rather than a loss of calcium, there is a calcium

build-up. The project explicitly did not require participants to

change their current therapies or medications. The principal

therapies included dietary changes, massage, Atomidine (an iodine

supplement), and Epsom salts baths. The participants then returned

home to continue these therapies for six months, submitting daily

logs of compliance with the protocol.

Arthritis symptoms were evaluated at the beginning of the program

and after six months. Four of the seven people returned for the six-

month follow-up in May 1999. One was unable to attend the April

session, and returned in November. Another responded to a

questionnaire by mail, and one person dropped out of the study.

Of the six participants who submitted information, three had

excellent compliance with the protocol. One felt ¡§much improved,¡¨

and two felt ¡§improved.¡¨

 

Other interesting feedback

According to Reba Ann karps book DR Charles Lucas chief of

endocrinology and metabolism at Harper grace hospitals Detroit has

reported that a diet low in animal fats will ease rheumatoid

arthritis pain.with some of his patients reporting that that pain

and stiffness nearly disappeared and swelling in joints reduced

remarkably.

Further substantiating cayce is a study done by the Department of

medicine at Wayne State University Detroit Michigan in that fat free

diets have been found to produce complete remissions in six patients

with rheumatoid arthritis.

Bee venom was mentioned by cayce and in the UK experiments have

isolated an anti-inflammatory agent within the venom. In the US it

has also been found that injecting bee venom into the painful joints

activates natural cortisone production in the bones thus relieving

the pain of arthritis.

 

Treatment of Arthritis with Rife machine

 

About Royal Raymond Rife

Royal Raymond Rife was an inventor and genius who won scientist of

the year awards twice. He started looking for a cancer cure in 1920.

By 1934 he cured 16 out of 16 (100% success) cancer patients in his

clinic, every one within 3 months. What he invented first was a

microscope that used prisms and various light types other than white

and was so powerful he could watch viruses alive and experiment on

them without destroying them in the process.

 

 

In Australia, a serious placebo (sometimes called double blind)

study was made to demonstrate the effectiveness of using audio

frequency therapy in the treatment of arthritis using a prototype of

the PET Rife-Crane unit. Behind this study is, amongst others, Geoff

Baker (B.App. Sci) who spent years of his life and millions of

dollars studying and perfecting his PET device. In order to achieve

medical approval for the sale of the PET unit in Australia, this

Placebo study was made under scientifically controlled

circumstances.

 

The Study results suggest that

„h Audio Frequency Therapy is highly effective in the treatment of

Osteo and Rheumatoid Arthritis. After 36 three-hour treatment

sessions of Audio Frequency Therapy, the net mean overall

improvement in the arthritic condition of treated volunteers

(irrespective of type of arthritis suffered) was approximately 25

percent

„h Continued reduction of pain levels under the extended treatment

sessions administered to Group C (72 three hour treatment sessions,

fig 4) suggest that the benefits of Audio Frequency Therapy are

cumulative and in proportion to the number of treatment sessions a

patient undergoes.

„h Extrapolation of the mean improvement rate of all treated

volunteers in considering the " worst case " situation suggests that

it may be possible to completely eliminate many Arthritis signs and

symptoms in any sufferer of Osteo or Rheumatoid Arthritis in less

than twelve months with an AFTU treatment program of three, three

hour sessions per week.

„h Frequency Therapy may relieve all arthritis symptoms permanently.

This may be possible if the underlying causative factors are also

dealt with and the patient is given time to heal. A cleansing

dietary regimen would be considered essential in all cases.

„h Audio Frequency Therapy may relieve pain, swelling and

inflammation in all arthritis affected areas, but will leave pain in

joints which have suffered major degeneration

I.e. moderate to complete breakdown of articular cartilage leaving

exposed bone.

„h No significant adverse side effects may be expected within the

short term i.e. less than 12 months (based on clinical experience)

if the above treatment protocol is adhered to and the Audio

Frequency Therapy Unit operation manual closely followed.

 

 

 

The study was initiated by a private company, BWBGELTECH PTY LTD

seeking assistance from an arthritis support organisation,

interested doctors, and a commercial laboratory.

 

Placebo study conditions were strictly adhered to, with no volunteer

being aware of whether he or she was receiving treatment. Three

treatments per week of three hours duration were administered using

thirty-four Audio Frequency Therapy Units. These pocket sized

computerised devices allowed carefully selected menus of frequency

programs to be applied to each chosen volunteer.

 

All participants were regularly monitored by self-evaluation of pain

on visual analogue scales, which complied with a standard hospital

protocol for monitoring pain in arthritis patients. Also pre and

post study HLB testing was provided by Australian Biologics Testing

Services (Sydney) for seven randomly selected volunteers from the

treated and placebo groups. Similarly, independent post-study

appraisal of each volunteer's condition by their referring General

Practitioner was requested.

 

On completion of the study, the mean value of percentage reduction

in overall pain (of the treated group was 34 percent compared with

13 percent reduction in the untreated group (The mean 13 percent

reduction of pain in the untreated volunteers was generally

attributable to the emotional benefits received by being involved in

the study. This improvement was not evidenced in the blood test

results.

Long term side effects are unknown but may be similar in nature to

TENS therapy. Continuous treatment with Audio Frequency Therapy

Units over twelve months is not recommended.

 

 

After this study was complete, Geoff Baker formed Electromed to

build and market a commercial version of the Audio Frequency Therapy

unit described here. The commercial version is called PET and it is

described on the electromed web site

 

There is a wealth of testimonies on the rife forum website which

testify to the effectiveness of this treatment http://www.rife.de/

Be sure that you have read carefully the cayce philosophy page as

missing any one of the principles there could cost you in some form –

we know we have done it.

For so many people who have medical problems it is very challenging

from many different aspects. It is undoubtedly a learning experience

because straight away you will be challenged with gaining

understanding ,and gathering important and vital information.

 

Next you must evaluate the information and this is the biggest

problem which I have seen patients struggle with .Faced with a

serious medical problem it can affect your thinking ability to such

an extent , study might be near impossible.

 

Or you may not have good evaluation skills at all ,so what do simple

patients rely on then ,the sound of a doctor, his voice how they are

treated , the hospitals, even the fact that someone wears a white

coat.

 

Like lambs to the slaughter they entrust their selves in systems

which they know nothing or very little about. That is their learning

experience as so many have found out to their cost.

So just to concentrate on evaluation skills for a moment .How does a

person evaluate material and information. These are the questions

you should ask for the real world so you are not mislead and sent

down paths which may cost you much money, much misery much pain.

 

1.Who wrote the information? How much experience did they have? From

what source did they gather this information? How high is this

source of information ? Who is paying his wages ? Is this person

being told what to write ?

 

2.Is there evidence to back up these claims you can check and verify?

 

3. Are their other good sources which you can call upon to give you

verification ?

 

4.my final tip , pray to the universe , god and ask to be shown if

this information is of value or to led to information which is of

value.

 

For a start you may not have a clue as to what vested interest and

big business has done to our medical systems here in the UK and all

over the world.

Drugs and other treatments

There are a few very important points that I would like to cover on

the subject of drugs and research and treatment At present the

system in England is this, all treatment recommended by the NHS

should be tested and approved and quite rightly so. Obviously it

costs vast sums of money to test and approve treatments because of

the possible damage to people and the subsequent litigation costing

millions of pounds. Where does this money come from to test and

approve treatments?

By far the biggest source is the drug companies. So take for example

a researcher might go along to his local drug company and tell them

his findings about this treatment he has been working on which is of

outstanding value but needs testing further or approving, you might

think they would be falling over themselves to know more –right, you

could not be more wrong. By and large only treatments, which show a

profit, will even get examined. Because they are in business to make

a profit, not for serving the people.

 

So instead of them falling over them selves they may see you as a

threat to their profits and try and bury the promising herb drug or

whatever. So many of the thousands of therapies which they see as

having no profit potential do not get approved and thus by and large

do not get recommended by your local doctor or hospital despite the

fact that some of them do have overwhelming benefits. Some which

have saved needless operations, needless amputations, needless pain

and trauma, needless kidney failures and much loss of life and years

of misery and pain.

 

So Mrs Jones by and large you will probably only get recommended

treatments where there is profit in them for someone.

Have you heard your local doctor recommend, nutritional therapy

Massage, Spiritual healing, Knieisiology Herbs, Light therapy,

Colour therapy, Regression therapy, Osteopathy, Zappers, Magnetic

devices, Electrical Frequency devices. Karma therapy .All of these

have shown their inherent worth with thousands of testimonials.

 

One of the most important principles outlined by cayce research and

others where people are suffering from any condition is

To do everything they can to help others in whatever capacity they

can.

Why you may ask?

Cayce frequently mentioned that this would bring faster results.

This is probably the greatest single ingredient in helping you

personally get well

This will help all people to transmute their own karma. Don't know

what karma is .

 

OVERVIEW OF FIBROMYALGIA

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread

musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points. " Tender

points " refers to tenderness that occurs in precise, localized

areas, particularly in the neck, spine, shoulders, and hips. People

with this syndrome may also experience sleep disturbances, morning

stiffness, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, and other symptoms.

 

According to the American College of Rheumatology, fibromyalgia

affects 3 to 6 million Americans. It primarily occurs in women of

childbearing age, but children, the elderly, and men can also be

affected.

 

Treatment of fibromyalgia requires a comprehensive approach. The

physician, physical therapist, and patient may all play an active

role in the management of fibromyalgia. Studies have shown that

aerobic exercise, such as swimming and walking, improves muscle

fitness and reduces muscle pain and tenderness.

 

Heat and massage may also give short-term relief. Antidepressant

medications may help elevate mood, improve quality of sleep, and

relax muscles. Fibromyalgia patients may benefit from a combination

of exercise, medication, physical therapy, and relaxation.

 

EDGAR CAYCE'S PERSPECTIVE ON FIBROMYALGIA

During Edgar Cayce's era it was commonly called muscular rheumatism.

Several individuals with this diagnosis received readings on their

condition.

For example, reading

5233-1 was given for a seventy-nine-year-old man who was suffering

from muscular rheumatism:

 

TEXT OF READING 5233-1 M 79 (Retired, Christian)

 

Cayce found much that is very good about the general physical forces

of this body. But there is, such anxiety about the general

conditions and the reflexes that this brings on the very conditions

which one fears.

 

if there are good eliminations daily, sufficient exercise, physical,

mental and spiritual, and an even balance or coordinant activity

kept, we may live a full life expectancy.

 

 

There were indulgences as to eat and drink. These have left their

effect upon the circulation between the liver and the kidneys. Thus

the cleansing of the alimentary canal, either by flushing at times

with the mineral salts, at other times vegetable compounds, would be

well. But the more preferable between these would be irrigation of

the alimentary canal or cleansing the colon, using properties in

combination which

 

in the gallon of water put a heaping teaspoonful of salt and a level

teaspoonful of baking soda. This dissolved and used in the water

will be much preferable and will not make for a strain

on the body. Use a tablespoon of plain Petrolagar stirred in the

last quart and a half for the rinse water.

Sweats and massages and a general circulation by specifice exercises

will keep this body physically satisfactory.

 

Can a cure be effected for chronic bronchitis? (A) This will be

improved as nature responds through increased or bettered

circulation, with less and less poisons in the system.

 

(Q) What can be done for muscular rheumatism?

Do these things indicated and the conditions where there is the

effect to heart, liver, lungs and kidneys will be improved; which

all are a part of the general conditions here.

Be moderate in all things; not to excess in any, and we'll have the

98 years of expectancy in this experience, if ye live to deserve

it. But what can you give to others? Unless you have something to

give, what right have you to be in the way of others? Have

something to give; you may live as long as ye are worthy.

 

 

For a female

The body should consider as to the sources and causes for the

neuritic and neurotic conditions that exist through the body. This

is what might ordinarily be called a condition wherein the general

taxation has run down the battery for the body; that is, the toxic

forces in the body

have become excessive.

 

Thus there are pains in the arms, or shoulders at times, in the

back, through the lower limbs and through the abdominal area. All

of these come and go,

dependent upon how well and how thoroughly the eliminations are in

the body, and as to whether in the diet the body keeps the general

physical forces alkaline or allows the greater

portion to become acid.

 

Then we have those reflexes that cause some disturbance with the

heart, with the kidneys and with the liver. These all arise from

toxic forces that affect naturally (for, as the body battery is)

heart, liver, lungs and kidneys. These must coordinate. When they

do not, some portion of it is going to revert.

 

Take at least once each week a general hydrotherapy treatment. This

should include a cabinet sweat followed by a thorough rubdown.

 

About every twenty days have a high colonic irrigation, until there

is no reaction of mucous in the stool at all.

 

After the sweat bath there should be the needle baths or showers

followed by the massages.

 

In the diet beware of too much starches or too much combinations of

proteins with starches.

 

Keep the eliminations better with the use of minerals for this body

rather than vegetable laxatives. Owing to the batteries as it

were - liver, kidneys and heart - being run down.

 

 

The Edgar Cayce readings consistently maintain that the liver and

kidneys serve as the " batteries of the body. " The liver is said to

be the positive pole of the battery, the kidneys the negative.

 

Thus, when the liver and kidneys are deficient in their functioning,

the body's battery may be said to have run down. Fatigue and low

vitality are the result. These features are common in people with

fibromyalgia.

 

Note the emphasis on maintaining a proper alkaline/acid balance.

Keeping the system slightly alkaline was encouraged by Edgar Cayce.

The standard diet recommended by Cayce is helpful in this direction.

 

This woman was told to obtain colonic irrigations, fume baths and

massage, and to use a mild laxative. Thus, internal cleansing was a

major emphasis in the treatment plan for this person.

 

TEXT OF READING 1655-1 F 24

 

Thus we have a complication, for the disturbing forces within this

body are produced by the deflection of energies owing to adhesions

as well as subluxations that exist in the

cerebrospinal system, from lesions having formed from the

disturbance through the periods when the temperature was high.

 

Some time back there were those conditions produced by an intestinal

flu; and the condition produced in the ascending colon, and in the

areas of the caecum as well as those farther up - or as related to

the emptying of the duodenum; and also from inflammatory

conditions - the right ovary.

 

All of these have produced and do produce the conditions where a

neuritic, rheumatic effect has existed; and the effects of the

poison, and the pressures upon the tissue through the area and the

activity of same upon the organs of assimilation, are the seat and

the cause of the disturbance.

 

.. The lesions as formed from same, as we find, are in the 8th and

9th dorsal; as well as reflexes from the 4th and 5th dorsal areas.

These also affect sympathetically those in the lumbar axis. For as

the body has given way in the structural activity to these, there

tends to be an unbalancing in the pelvic bone. Thus we have a

disturbance in the lumbar axis.

 

with the lack of proper eliminations, and overactivity mentally OR

physically - the body tends to tire easily. Also a reaction is

caused from the lack of the full eliminations; as does

cold or congestion of any nature; upsetting the digestive system

as well as the activities of the organs of the pelvis during

Periods; and the general tired and headachey feeling, with an aching

all over when there are disturbances.

 

These as we find, then, may be entirely eliminated - if there is

sufficient time and precaution taken for the body

 

We would have at least eight to ten deep osteopathic manipulations

and adjustments for the areas indicated; the dorsal, lumbar AND the

areas through the cervical and the rest of the dorsal, making for

coordinating with the general activities.

 

In taking the manipulations osteopathically, have a GENERAL

treatment once a week and a specific treatment once a week; that is,

make the corrections in the 4th and 5th and 6th

dorsal, 9th dorsal, 4th lumbar once a week, with a general

coordination; and then have a GENERAL treatment throughout the whole

of the cerebrospinal system another time during the same week.

 

Hence two treatments a week should be given, and fourteen or

fifteen such treatments - half general and half specific - should

be sufficient.

 

use of Codiron as a tonic. Take two tablets each day, one at noon,

one at evening - until at

least fifty have been taken.

 

For the disturbance through the colon, and the activity for the

general forces of the repressions produced in the ovary activity, we

would prepare and take a compound which will - with the properties

in the Codiron - work well with the body. Prepare same in this way

and manner:

 

To 2 ounces of Strained Honey add 2 ounces of Distilled Water.

Let this come to a boil. Skim off all refuse, and when nearly

cool, to this as the carrier, add - in the ORDER

NAMED:

Pure Grain Alcohol................1 1/2 ounces,

Fusion or Elixir of Wild Ginseng....1/4 ounce,

Essence of Indian Turnip............1/2 dram,

Tincture of Stillingia..............1/4 ounce.

 

Shake the solution well before each dose is taken, which would be a

teaspoonful before the morning meal and one just before retiring -

until the whole quantity has been taken.

 

When there is pain or repressions, during those periods of

activities in elimination from the body, use the saturated solution

of Epsom Salts in Packs across the small of the back and over the

lower portion of the abdomen. There will not be required more than

the change once or twice for same, and such Packs should be applied

hot - to the body direct. Use heavy cloths, you see, with other dry

cloths or towels laid over same.

 

The diet should be well-balanced. Keep away from too much of

sweets, too much of starches. Use rather the honey in the

honeycomb as the sweet. Most of the starches should be rather in

whole wheat, or such natures. Vegetables, nuts and fruits should

form the principal portion of the diet. As to potatoes or such

starches, only eat the jackets or that part close to same - or eat

more of the peel than the pulp itself.

 

In the activities of the body keep in the open as much as possible.

 

 

Readings 1655-1 and 1655-2 provide further documentation on the

causes and treatment of fibromyalgia. Most likely, fibromyalgia can

be produced by a variety of factors. One pattern is that the

individuals suffer a prolonged episode of the flu or other

infectious disorder from which they never fully recover. Edgar Cayce

described this pattern in reading 1655-1:

 

Some time back there were those conditions produced by an intestinal

flu; and the condition produced in the ascending colon, and in the

areas of the caecum as well as those farther up - or as related to

the emptying of the duodenum; and also from inflammatory conditions -

the right ovary.

 

All of these have produced and do produce the conditions where a

neuritic, rheumatic effect has existed; and the effects of the

poison, and the pressures upon the tissue through the area and the

activity of same upon the organs of assimilation, are the seat and

the cause of the disturbance...

 

All of these are the disturbances through the activities for this

body. While, through care and attention, these do not produce so

much disturbance, we find that at times - with the lack of proper

eliminations, and overactivity mentally OR physically - the body

tends to tire easily.

 

Also a reaction is caused from the lack of the full eliminations;

as does cold or congestion of any nature; upsetting the digestive

system as well as the activities of the organs of the pelvis during

Periods; and the general tired and headachey feeling, with an aching

all over when there are disturbances. (1655-1)

The mental/emotional aspects of the condition were addressed in the

second reading for this woman:

(Q) Is part of my seeming illness mental?

(A) The attitude, of course, has much to do; but it is rather the

physical condition creating the mental. But make for more hopeful,

more helpful, more constructive thinking - and this would improve

the general condition much. (1655-2)

 

The treatment plan for this person recommended moderate outdoor

exercise and a basic diet with emphasis on fruits and vegetables.

Manual therapy (spinal manipulations) was suggested relieve

pressures along the spine and improve functioning of the hepatic and

digestive systems.

 

Castor oil packs were recommended to assist with eliminations and

relax the body. A ginseng tonic to assist with digestion and

eliminations was prescribed. Minute dosages of beef juice was

recommended to increase vitality.

 

OVERVIEW OF THERAPEUTIC REGIME

The treatments recommended in the Cayce readings on fibromyalgia are

mainly directed toward improving the digestive, circulatory,

nervous, and eliminating systems.

 

Diet, moderate exercise, a mild form of energy medicine (Radial

Appliance), spinal manipulations and general massage, colon

irrigation, and castor oil packs are therapies intended to improve

these vital systemic functions.

 

As was typical of Cayce's holistic approach, the mental and

spiritual aspects of therapy were emphasized.

Here are the basic therapies recommended for the treatment of

fibromyalgia based on the Cayce information on this disorder:

1. 1. INTERNAL CLEANSING: Hydrotherapy includes drinking six to

eight glasses of pure water daily, colonic irrigations (preferably)

or enemas, and a cleansing diet of fresh fruits and vegetables.

2.

Castor oil packs across the abdomen are recommended to improve

eliminations through the liver and colon. Mild laxatives may be

helpful if constipation is a problem. Fume baths assist with

elimination of toxins through the skin.

 

3. MANUAL THERAPY (SPINAL MANIPULATION AND MASSAGE): Osteopathic or

chiropractic treatment is recommended to relieve any pressures that

may be hindering circulation and decreasing eliminations. Gentle

massage is suggested to relax the body and improve circulation and

eliminations.

 

4. DIET: The Basic Cayce Diet is intended to improve assimilation

and elimination. The diet focuses heavily on keeping a proper

alkaline/acid balance while avoiding foods which produce toxicity

and drain the system. Essentially, the diet consists mainly of

fruits and vegetables while avoiding fried foods and refined

carbohydrates ( " junk food " ). Certain food combinations are

emphasized.

 

 

5. ENERGY MEDICINE: In addition to the above therapies which will

tend to improve circulation, the Radial Appliance is recommended to

further assist in increasing relaxation and nervous system

coordination. Edgar Cayce said that this appliance would be helpful

for anyone having problems with disturbed sleep and fatigue.

 

6. MEDICINE: A ginseng tonic is recommended to improve digestion and

eliminations. Small dosages of beef juice are recommended for

persons who experience significant fatigue and lack of vitality.

 

 

7. MODERATE EXERCISE: Walking or other moderate exercise is

recommended. Be outdoors in the open as much as possible.

 

8. ATTITUDES AND EMOTIONS: The mental and emotional aspects of

healing are frequently discussed in the Cayce readings.

Particularly, an attitude of desiring and expecting to be healed is

important. A positive mental and emotional attitude and can be

created and maintained by focusing on a high purpose (ideal) for

being healed.

 

 

 

*FIBROMYALGIA LINKED TO IBS*

 

The Edgar Cayce readings consistently maintain that problems in the

bowel can produce systemic conditions. A recent medical study echoes

this theme.

 

Researchers at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los

Angeles,California may have discovered a simple test that links

fibromyalgia (acondition manifesting as muscle pain) with irritable

bowel syndrome (orIBS, a condition involving abdominal pain,

bloating, and diarrhea).

 

The lactulose breath test (LBT) is used to assess for the presence

of microbes in the bowel in cases of IBS. Some previous studies have

found that nearly one-third of fibromyalgia patients also have IBS.

 

The study, published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases

(April2004), explored the hypothesis that LBT would be abnormal in

both IBS and fibromyalgia patients. The researchers recruited 42

fibromyalgia patients, 111 IBS patients, and 15 healthy control

subjects who were

given the LBT.

 

All the patients with fibromyalgia exhibited abnormal LBT results

compared to 84 percent in the IBS group and 20 percent in the

control group. Furthermore, the amount of hydrogen gas detected in

the LBT correlated with the level of pain in the fibromyalgia

patients.

 

The researchers noted that further studies would be needed to

determine if treatment and normalization of the LBT with antibiotics

can produce improvement in fibromyalgia symptoms.

Try cod liver oil in liquid form for your joints. My mother friend had

surgery on her legs and said this is the only thing that helped her.

The pill form didn't work as good as the liquid did, liquid form is

better.

[Guest guest]

Massage therapy or many forms of energy work are wonderful for

relieving symptoms of these sorts...

 

Valerian Root tea and Peppermint tea are both good for relieving

stresses, and in turn relieving pain. The Peppermint tea in particular

is good for relieving foot pain...makes a wonderful foot soak, or you

can use the tea bag (actually 2 or 3 bags is better) directly on the

skin as a form of compress.

 

Hope some of this helps.

My brother also used cod liver oil for his elbow joint. He had

physio, etc and had tried all sorts of things that didnt work..then

someone suggested the cod liver oil and he said after a couple of

weeks he has no pain whatsoever even after working hard on the farm.

Are you going to try all the suggestions? why not

consult either an ayurvedic doctor or a homeopathic

doctor who will study your body and treat accordingly.

Noni herbal fruit is a very good pain reliever and

strengthens the muscles, nerves and bones.
