Cayce and Sciatica

[Guest guest]

Hi,

The Cayce reading are very good and to the point.

" The Cayce readings on sciatica refer consistently to three key

causes of the condition:

1. Injuries to the spine or spinal muscles

2. Congestion in the colon (large intestine)

3. A general condition of acidity in the body

Interestingly, the readings indicate that while a back strain or

other back injury usually plays a role in the development of

sciatica, it is not often the primary role. Instead, a more wide-

ranging condition of acidity and toxicity is seen as the central

cause. " and,

" Among the physical treatments Cayce advised for sciatica are:

1. a natural diet low to moderate in fat, including plenty of

vegetables

2. colonic irrigations

3. spinal manipulation

4. massage with oils including olive and peanut

5. low-power electrical stimulation with the Wet Cell Appliance,

which was used to electrically transmit gold chloride ions into the

body

6. external herb and mineral applications, including mullein, Glyco-

Thymoline, and hot Epsom salts

7. low-power electrical stimulation with the radio-active [radial]

appliance "

From Bernard Jenson, Carlton Fredericks and others,

I was taught that 1)the acidic diet needs to be corrected

and that 2)the transverse intestine is distended and hitting on the

small of the back where the sciatic nerves begins causing the pain

that radiates down the leg. ( It may not be acually hitting but the

nerves are connected.)

We were told to correct the diet with food, colonics and

manipulations and to get the patient to begin gentle

exercises such as yoga, swimming and walking every day.

Also try acupuncture and acupressure to ease the pain

and correct imbalances.

Namaste,

David
