Workbook and Manual Version 1.0 SCALE 9
CONTENTS EXPLANATION Systemic toxicity is one of the most common etiological factors in the Cayce readings. The readings often used the expression poor eliminations when discussing systemic toxicity. Of the four primary processes of elimination (defecation, urination, respiration, and perspiration), the readings observed that 85% of the toxins are normally eliminated through the bowel. When the bowel becomes deficient in this activity (i.e., constipation), the other channels of elimination must increase their activity to cleanse the body of toxins. Failure of any of the other eliminating processes will lead to some degree of systemic toxicity.
THERAPEUTIC OPTIONS MANUAL THERAPY Edgar Cayce often recommended osteopathic treatment
to improve eliminations by setting up drainages throughout the body.
HYDROTHERAPY AND PACKS Colonic irrigation (preferred) or enema is a common
treatment for systemic toxicity. Fume baths (with an oil such as
witchhazel) is recommended. Castor oil packs over the right side
of the abdomen is also helpful to stimulate the liver and bowel.
Drinking 6 - 8 glasses of pure water is encouraged.
DIET The basic Cayce diet consisting primarily of fruits and vegetables is important for decreasing systemic toxicity.
