1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Edgar Cayce; this we have had before.
2. As we find, in the present there is the acute condition in the lower portion of the duodenum - or that emptying into the jejunum; produced by a strangulation in the gall duct and thus causing the superacidity and formation of gas in the duodenum, and lack of digestion and assimilation for the system.
3. In the present, there should not be attempts to use the body in those activities such as are indicated in the present - even that in which it is giving; for these are strains upon the system. THIS FIRST!
4. And the next - DO NOT SMOKE! only once or the like AFTER meals!
5. The body should retire - in bed.
6. Make applications of the heavy Castor Oil Packs over the liver, the gall duct AND the colon - or the upper jejunum rather to that area.
7. Keep the body - the feet - WARM!
8. Bathe often in large quantities of VERY Hot water. This at least once each day, until conditions are adjusted.
