1. FM: Now, Mr. Cayce, you are going to sleep. (Pause) Now, Mr. Cayce, you are asleep. All the organs of your body will function properly, and you will hear me and answer all of my questions. You have before you this afternoon the body of [245] ... Avenue, West End, Birmingham, Alabama. Now, Mr. Cayce, I want you to go over this body that you have before you from head to foot, and examine the body carefully, and tell me of any ailments or disorders that you may find within this body, and then tell me what will cure or relieve the body from the conditions that you find.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, the abnormal conditions through this body - there are some of them that may be corrected; there are others that may be assisted, and by the development of the body through the physical forces, eventually the growth will assist as much as by any other means of its coming to a normal condition again, provided, however, the correct incentives are given to the proper organs to produce that in the system that would combat with the conditions as they are developed, and as development in the physical body grows from cycle to cycle. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in this body - [245], we are speaking of.
3. The blood supply in this system we find is very good, save that some properties that have been taken into the system to produce a better co-ordination with the nervous system, have caused the blood to become sur-charged with much of the elements that should be eliminated through the emunctory circulation. The predisposition of the body, or rather of the blood forces in the creative centers - that is the intestinal indigestion centers that create new blood, - are acted on by the condition as this is created in the blood. So this we see must be one of the conditions that is to be considered when we give the proper incentives to the developing forces through the body.
4. The nerve system, we find those of the cerebrospinal forces, as shown in the system, are acted upon more through the improper co-ordination forces of the pneumogastric where
245-1 Page 2
it enters the cerebellum, for we have at times congestion at the first cervical, and it - the congestion - re-vibrates or gives off to the muscular system at that time a counteracting force, or an involuntary acting force to the muscles of the extremities, and a reaction to the pneumogastric that causes the condition that comes to this body at such times. This apparently has existed for some time back in this body, and has produced more from an outside impression than from conditions that became of internal or hereditary condition. Yet the condition in the pneumogastric, and its action on the stomach itself, is produced we see when the body is over-loaded, as it were, or contains certain or an extra amount of foods in the system.
5. The functioning of the organs themselves in this body, we find the brain force itself acted upon by the congestion as produced at the first cervical, yet capable of development when not hindered by this condition.
6. The throat and larynx present an abnormal condition, spasmodically. This is from the condition that we find as thrown off from the pneumogastric in its action when attempting to co-ordinate with the functioning nerve centers that branch about this center that governs the nerves and muscles of the throat and larynx.
7. The lung forces only present the condition as would be expressed by the condition as described in the body.
8. The heart action shows the effect of the nerve forces, yet it is not organic disorders in its functioning.
9. The stomach presents a smallness as would be found by the contraction of the walls of the lower end of the stomach, produced by the nervous forces in the body.
10. The liver and the pancrean forces present a condition of a plethoric nature, yet not one of an organic condition, for the development in the body carries more than the action as yet of the blood, if the blood has been in the organ itself.
11. At times it is necessary to give properties to produce the proper functioning of the organs - the liver we are speaking of - for the sedimentary forces have led its action to become voluntary rather than involuntary, except at times, as does the action of the kidneys, for they show the effect of this reaction to the kidneys in the hepatic circulation especially.
12. To give the proper relief then to this body we must take into the system a general tonic for the whole body, to give the proper incentives to the body. This we would find in this compound, which will be given regularly, every third day, each dose should be given until there are 10 or 12 doses taken in the system:
245-1 Page 3
Bromide of Potash..............1/2 grain, Iodide of Potash...............1/2 grain, Yellow Saffron...................1 grain, Senna............................1 grain, Cascara Sagrada................1/2 grain. This we see would be one dose, you see.
13. After this has been taken into the system [every 3rd day for 10-12 days] we would then begin to relieve the congestion as found at the first cervical through osteopathic manipulation, but do not begin with this until these medicinal properties have been taken into the body and we have had the reaction from same, which would be 5 days after the 12th dose was taken.
14. This we would do to correct the condition as we find them in this body.
15. (Q) Mr. Cayce, this body hasn't talked since its sickness. Will these medicines that you have given correct his speech so he can talk? [Aphonia?] (A) (Repeating question) We have given that the congestion is the cause of the conditions through the larynx, you see. The medicinal properties are only to correct the system so that the effect of the osteopathic adjustments and forces will correct the other conditions in the body.
16. (Q) How old was this body when it first contracted this sickness, or disease? (A) (Repeating question) It has been 93 moons since the congestion has caused this condition. Follow the lines as we have given, to correct the nerve forces with the blood, and then by a deep manipulation at the first cervical we will correct this condition in this body. We are through.
17. Now, Mr. Cayce, you will forget all about this reading you have just given. You are feeling all right, and all the organs of your body will function properly. You are feeling good. Now, wake up in 2 minutes feeling fine and all right, and absolutely free from headache. dache.
