1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find there are some abnormal conditions in this body. That may be corrected under the present conditions, if not allowed to remain too long under the present situations however, see. The abnormal forces have to do with that of emunctory forces in the system, hence the eliminating forces of the body produce the condition in the system.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [1323] we are speaking of, present in this room: First, we find the body very good in portions of the body. In the blood supply we find the difference in the perfect elimination and of the blood being impregnated with those of the destructive bacilli being carried in the system from the inactivity of the emunctories in the liver, you see, and the kidneys, see. The red blood and the hemoglobin therein shows the deficiency of the scilion [silicon?] necessary to make the resistive forces in the body without the system suffering from the condition. The white blood being taken and the poor circulation in the lympatics as is shown by the poor respiratory circulation, see, the capillaries becoming surcharged with those forces that should be eliminated through the emunctories in the body.
3. In the nerve forces we find the system very good, both from the cerebrospinal, sympathetic and sensory, see. The whole system of nerve centers show the effect of the impression received by the centers from the blood forces being contaminated, see, yet though, as yet they have not reached the broken state in any centers, see.
4. The functioning of the organs themselves: In the brain forces we find the body very good through the head, neck, throat, larynx and about those organs of the lymph centers, and the gland of this portion of the body we find the circulation as given or the poor lymphatic circulation, keeps these portions irritated more or less all the time - at times, worse, than others - reflexly wholly, see. The lungs, very good, a plethoria condition with the condition of the blood, not organic forces, neither are those bacilli

as shown in the blood of the make from the lung supplying force, but from the liver and diaphragm, see, and the hepatic circulation. The digestive tract we find the pneumogastric being one of the centers in the nerve center showing the strain, the digestive forces becoming contaminated from two forces, the hepatic circulation and the pneumogastric contraction, so about the pyloric end of the stomach we find the organ itself shows distress signs through apparent gastric force, but not from gastric juices or from lacerations that might be from these conditions but of the reflex of the two conditions combined. Spleen, engorged. Pancrean forces, low in secretion. The liver, torpid, showing some ulceration. This must be looked after. The secretion better than that of the emunctories and excretory forces, see. Poor elimination through the system. High hepatic circulation affecting also the kidneys, not as inflammation in the kidneys but as the excess of toxins attempting to be eliminated, produced first by poisons in the system from toxic poisons, see.
5. To give the correct relief for these conditions, to remove the condition in liver and the reflex forces as produced in the intestinal tract, we would take that into the system that will give the correct vibrations to those parts affected, see, and they will give the force and vibration necessary to produce the incentives of the warrior forces in the system to overcome the condition, take this in the body:
6. To one-half (1/2) gallon of rain water, add the leaves of what is commonly known as rag weed to the amount of four ounces (4), the green preferably, see. Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to one-half the quantity, strain, while warm, add four (4) ounces of [beet sugar] and four (4) ounces of grain alcohol. The dose, though bitter, will be teaspoonful three times each day.
7. Let the body take exercise of a specific nature morning and evening, and have the spine rubbed down well with very cold water, each of ten minutes, see. After the exercise, rub the spine down with cold water and then with some coarse cloth rub well to bring the circulation to all centers, see. Do that.
8. (Q) How long has this condition existed? (A) It has been of a gradual growth. It has been better at times and worse at times, see. Fourteen moons.
9. (Q) How long before the condition will be normal? (A) When this quantity is taken of the medicinal properties. Keep the exercise some weeks afterwards, yes, some months. The body will find some ready relief of

vibrations as set out by these, but do not allow this condition to grow on or we will have abscess conditions in more than one portion of the body, see.
10. (Q) Are the medical treatments are present being given correctly by the doctors? (A) Give these as we have given, if we would remove the condition or meet the conditions to be met for the betterment of the physical in this body, see. These are not meeting the conditions. Do this as we have given, see.
11. (Q) What kind of exercise should be taken by this body? (A) Those which bring into play most of the muscles of the body, the extremities and the trunk portion of body. Something after the manner of the setting up exercise - use more circular body motion however. All taken with body erect, see. Do that.
12. (Q) What caused the toxic poisons first to form in the body? (A) Poisons taken in the digestive forces from the toxins. First this began the trouble in the system. The emunctory forces suffered most. Others are involved reflexly at present. Keep plenty of water in the body inside and out, see. Let the diet be that of the body calls for. Eat as little or as much. Do not force the body in any manner with the diet. Do as we have given if we will correct this body.
13. (Q) Have you anything else to say regarding this body, Mr. Cayce? (A) Just do as we have given.
14. (Q) Is there any local infection in this body that affects any portion of the body? (A) It is caused from the condition, as we have given, not from the infection, see. Do as we have given. We are through.
