ELIMINATION
Elimination is another basic
"activity of the system." When raw materials are assimilated
and used by the body's organs, waste materials are produced which
must be eliminated from the body. If these wastes are not effectively
removed, the body will be toxic.
There are four major eliminating routes in
the body: 1) the bowel (defecation), 2) the bladder (urination), 3)
the breath (respiration), and 4) the skin (perspiration). Edgar
Cayce recommended using all these eliminating processes to cleanse
the body.
For example, increased elimination through
the colon can be assisted via colonics, enemas, mineral and vegetable
laxatives, and diet. Eliminations through the bladder and skin
are assisted by drinking adequate amounts of pure water. Moderate,
regular exercise supports the body in eliminating through respiration
and perspiration. Steam and fume baths are also helpful for
cleansing through perspiration. Osteopathic treatment was commonly
recommended by Edgar Cayce for increasing and coordinating eliminations.
