1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find this body is very good throughout the physical forces of the whole system, yet there are some abnormal conditions in the system that may be corrected and give more vital forces to the body from the physical plane. They have to do with the nerve tension both in circulation and nervous system itself, and the effects as this produces over the body in the various functioning organs.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [2667] we are speaking of, present here in this room now, see: First, in the blood supply we find the body very good. The stimulation to the system that produces the pressure in the blood supply we find at times through the over-stimulation to the nerve centers, especially, those of the pneumo gastric forces that the blood is at times above the normal in its pressure, not that we have the organic condition produced in the heart valve giver [valvular] forces themselves are [or] through the arterial cells in their functioning, but that of nerve tension governing this condition of the body, see. The constituents or the elemental forces in the blood that make up the hemoglobin in the red blood supply not abnormal to a degree to cause the condition, but the count and pressure in the respiratory and heart forces at times, not all the time, reach above the normal condition for this body. The lucosite [leukocyte] and white blood force forms coagulation perfectly throughout the system. The capillary circulation at times feel above the normal in the extremities and produce the refractory forces as shown at times through those portions of the body.
3. In the nervous system, we find the action of the cerebrospinal nerve forces are very good as taken as the individual nervous system, but the reaction to the cerebrospinal forces from the condition produced in the pneumogastric center has its reflex forces about the secondary cardiac plexus center, hence the condition we have at times to the head, see, giving rise there of the distresses to the nervous system. We, also, have from this

same source the refractory forces affecting the flow of blood and nerve tissue to some of the organs of the sensory system, hence the condition as produced in times back to these organs, and the system attempting to equalize or to produce the equilibrium in the system assisted in part to correct these conditions, yet as we have through the optic forces, through that of the throat and lungs at times, through the larynx and epiglottis we have the reflexes to those, see. In the sympathetics of the nervous system we find the body well balanced, one that is not usually excited or worried but controls the whole system. This body we are speaking of, see, through the mental forces of the body, or a body above the normal balance mentally, see.
4. Through the functioning of the organs themselves we find these conditions: There is at times too much flow of blood through the condition of the nerve center, you see, at the 7th dorsal with those reflexes to the 5th and 6th cervical, also, from the first forces as produced the action through the 8th, 9th and 10th dorsal centers, you see. That caused too much of the eliminating forces, that is, in secretions such as comes to the throat, to the head, see, to be thrown off through these. The organ forces are good in the functioning properties, especially, when we consider the pressure of blood forces. The heart action, governed by the nerve forces, as we have given, and not organic. The digestive tract, affected sympathetically rather than that of organic, but rather functional conditions. Liver, better now than it has been in times back. Hepatic circulation, high, kidneys, surcharged by the forces as are attempting to the [be] eliminated in the body, see.
5. To give the correct balance and equilibrium in the system should not be much of medicinal properties as that of exercises and diet to the body to produce the correct balance and give the vital forces necessary to the body in its living or active functioning, see. There should be specific exercises and methodically and persistently taken until the body gives the equalization to the blood supply in the body. That is, the exercises of the head, neck and shoulders, rotary, circular motion, see; to the trunk portion of the body from the diaphragm up or from the waist up, that of the circular motion, first right then left, see - these to be taken just before retiring, see, so that the reaction from physical rest is to equalize the whole nerve and muscular tissue to those normal functionings in the body. The diet of the simpler or rough foods, you see, not highly seasoned food of any character, not any stimulations to the body, and the stimulants to be used would be in this

manner and form:
Gum Camphor............20 grains, Sulphate Morphia......1/2 grain, Muriate Ammonia........30 grains.
These would be made into pellets, not capsules, twenty of them, and one take every 3rd evening, see, until the whole quantity is taken. Do that. Keep plenty of water for the system inside and out to keep the secretions well supplied in the body, both to internal circulation and capillary. Do that.
6. (Q) Now Mr. Cayce, what are the prospects of this body with the concern that he is working for now, the ... Lace Company? (A) We have the physical conditions of this body, not that of the financial or material.
