![]() That which is in the physical disturbing is, ever, the result of breaking a law either pertaining to the physical, mental, or spiritual. In giving the interpretation of the disturbance here, other conditions than the pathological effects produced must be taken into consideration - if there would be real help for this body. That our mental/emotional and spiritual attitudes can cause or exacerbate existing illness is illustrated here (pathologic condition produced by a burn, negative attitude): These, in the final analysis, can probably be explained in physical terms through the mechanisms already described. In a few other cases Cayce mentions other causes and/ or coexistent conditions such as superacidity, tendency to cold and congestion, scar tissue in the area of the vagus center causing cold and congestion, "infectious forces," etc. Anemia, coexisting or resulting from bronchitis, further reduces the functional capacity of the blood. The result: congestion in various organs, which in the respiratory system produced bronchitis. Overabundant circulation (as in 124-1), apart from causing arterial hypertension, has an adverse effect on the nerve plexuses that regulate blood (and lymph) flow. Qualitative and quantitative changes in the circulatory system have a variety of effects on the body. (Note that congestion is associated with toxin build-up.) Case is a good example of multiple organ system involvement. The digestive system is notably among these. Other organs and tissues in other parts can be affected in a like manner, thus complicating the picture. This inflammation often extends to the trachea, larynx, nasal passages, and sinuses (lesions in the cervical spine are usually found in addition in these instances). this results in circulatory congestion (plethora) in the lungs with attendant inflammatory changes, i.e., bronchitis. Subluxation, usually in the third or fourth dorsal centers (but any area of the spine may be involved) causes changes or diversion of nervous impulses (nerve forces) reaching the lungs, bronchi, etc. ![]() These changes can further impair the nervous impulses controlling circulation (blood, lymphatics) in the respiratory system (overabundance or paucity may result), further compounding the problem. With inflammation, congestive changes occur, further retarding the clearances of waste products in these tissues, thus aggravating the problem. Consequently the accumulated toxins produce inflammatory changes in the respiratory system - namely the trachea and bronchi-and in many cases also in the throat, the nasal passages, and the sinuses. This implies that the organs of elimination have been unable to keep up with their function and that compensatory changes have been inadequate. Poor elimination results in the accumulation of toxic or irritant material in the alimentary tract, blood, and lymphatics. The question to be asked now is, "What determines which organs or tissues are affected?" The answer to this is not entirely clear but has to do partly with which of the triad is involved, at what level the involvement is located, the vulnerability of those tissues or organs supplied by that system (i.e., acquired or congenital weakness in such), etc. ![]() (These, as we see, are the triad mentioned in the readings on "headache.") This is not surprising, for, as indicated in those readings, functional abnormalities which may in turn become structural (pathologic conditions) given enough time may occur in any body organ or tissue as a result of disturbances in these systems in any combination. The most recurrent themes throughout the readings were poor elimination, spinal subluxation, and disturbances in the circulatory system. The underlying cause was often not to be found in the respiratory system itself but elsewhere. According to the Edgar Cayce readings, in the majority of cases irritants built up within the body are the usual culprit in the etiology of bronchitis as opposed to inhaled irritants, e.g., cigarette smoke, chemical fumes, dust, etc. Physiological Considerationsīronchitis is an inflammatory condition of the respiratory system brought about by irritant and/or infectious agents.
