1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find this body very good throughout. There are some abnormal conditions in this body to be corrected for the betterment of the physical condition of the body. They have to do with the circulation, the blood pressure and the condition through the lower extremities of the body.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body: First, in the blood supply we find over quantity of blood both in the building force of blood itself and the blood supply proper. The blood being too heavy for the whole body, this producing fullness through the capillary circulation with the strain on the system showing, especially, through the veinous circulation of the lower limbs, also, the high hepatic circulation produced from the lumbar center, which has been produced in turn by the nerve condition and taxation of the nervous system through the sacral plexus, see. In the creative forces of blood supply through the lymphatic circulation shows through the over-abundant of creation of tissue or of secretions throughout the whole system, this producing overstimulation to the glands that function through secretive organs, producing throughout the system the overtaxed condition of the body.
3. Through the nervous systems we find the body better than it has been in times back, there being created through the mental forces to overcome the condition created in the sacral plexus forces that hinders the circulation in its returning to trunk portion of body, producing enlarged tissues or veins in portions of the system, the forces in the sympathetic being overactive in their functioning producing sympathetic conditions through the lymphatic centers and secretions as given.
4. In the functioning of the organs themselves we find, except of functional conditions, at times the body very good, no specific organic conditions showing through the system, yet in the overtaxed conditions, organs of the torso

suffers at times from the over-activity of pressure in circulation as well as strain from the nervous systems through sympathetic conditions.
5. To bring the equilibrium of the nerve centers governing the circulation and to produce in the physical forces those action and reaction to the muscular and nerve centers we would first take into the system, those properties of the nature to produce the relaxation to the circulation in its building functioning, take this:
6. To one gallon of rain water add, first,
Wild Cherry bark.......................4 ounces, Yellow root............................2 ounces, Black Haw bark.........................2 ounces, Dogwood bark...........................2 ounces.
7. Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to one quart, strain, while warm add:
Grain alcohol..........................6 ounces, with Balsam of Peru.........................2 drams, see.
8. The dose would be two teaspoonsful three times each day after meals. Upon retiring the body should take the exercise to the lower limbs to assist the centers with their invigorated forces from medicinal properties to force the blood supply to the trunk portion of body and so equalize the circulation throughout the system. Drink plenty of water and keep the intestinal tract well open throughout the equalizing of the conditions in the system. Do that.
9. (Q) Now Mr. Cayce, what kind of exercise do you refer to upon retiring? (A) With the body lying prone, that is, upon the back, see, the limbs drawn up and extended and kept in the circular motion for some two to three minutes each evening, see, the limbs raised high, see, then extended and kept in this circular bending motion to force, with the medicinal properties, the equalizing of the blood forces. Do not remove by operative forces, see, but by the absorption and by the equalizing of the circulation in the body. The exercises taken in the evening or at time of retiring so that the body has advantage of the physical rest of the body and gives the subconscious or superconscious forces their incentives to carry the healing forces to the body, see.
