1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have had this before, you see. Now, as for the physical conditions in this body they are a great deal better in many different respects from those we had here before. There are some conditions that should be looked after regarding conditions through the lower portion of the intestinal tract. This we find makes some reflex conditions through the pyloric end of the stomach, causing, at times, halitosis, for this body, which makes unpleasant conditions for the individual.

2. The conditions that existed through other portions of the body, especially through the pelvic organs, are better. We find, by correct actions of the body, would remain eliminated from the system provided blood supply and activity through the digestive organs are kept producing perfect elimination, so that each cycle of functioning organs will replace or overcome conditions.

3. We would keep at all times sufficient quantities of a vegetable nature carrying a great amount of the dissolving fluids in the system, such as we find in those of the citrus fruits, berries and some of the vegetables that grow above the ground. Those of celery, English peas, butter beans - vegetables of this character rather than nightshade. Tomatoes good, but not in excess, for they would rather influence the juices of the pancreas - some portions, especially along the prostate and other glands of this nature.

4. As for the body's better welfare through the social, spiritual and mental, it would only be well for the body to keep well in mind that it must study to show itself approved unto its Maker, and not be ashamed of those ideals that give to the development of others, while that of self must be approved of its Maker. Those of others must be consideration as to whether approved to Him or not, and that HIS spirit beareth witness with thy spirit whether thou art chosen of Him to carry unto others those unsearchable riches of His nature and being.

5. As to the connections that are, or might be, with Edgar

Cayce, we do not find that there will be further than those of the distant, except from time to time as the development of each individual's personality is given to those to whom the Maker has endowed those spaces of time to come in touch with. [Work:EC]

6. As to the connections with someone in Birmingham - public accountants; it would not be well, or satisfying, as we find here. It may be made; might be for the time being of a satisfactory nature - it will not be of a lasting character. There are other connections here that would be of a nature that would be well-pleasing to this body and others concerned. This is as we find. Do this. We are through.
