1. EC: Yes, here we have the body here.
2. Now in this body we find that there are some conditions that are abnormal, and most of them have to do with functioning organs, or rather than to organic troubles throughout the system. The condition would be termed in one of the opposite sex as a neurotic condition. Now these are the conditions as we find them in the system: The blood force or supply in the body contains a bit over the proper number of red blood cell force, hence the full flow that we have at times in the body shows this over-stimulated condition. Not enough of the warriors or lucrosites [leukocytes?] distributed throughout the system, for the lymphatic circulation has been used by the overtaxed central nerve cells for rebuilding in the proper channels; so that we have an over supply of the blood force. Hence the condition that we have in the heart at times, but there is no organic condition in it. There is some foreign bacilli carried in the blood, especially that of the ... or what is known as a certain character of pus forming bacilli, being an over stimulus of the red blood or of the corpuscles that rebuild tissue. This bacilli carries strained exercise to the gangula [ganglia?] distributing the blood force, and leaves pain and misery, or what some would call neuritis, in portions of the body, but not always in the same portions, because this blood force is moveable. This also shows itself in the distribution of the plasmatic cells, which rebuilds certain units in the body, such as we have in the cuticle and in the capillary circulation in certain portions of the body.
3. In the nervous energy and force and centers, from which as we see the trouble comes to all portions of this body, we have in the upper dorsals and the lower cervicals, that is at the 4th, 5th, and 6th cervicals and at the 3rd and 4th dorsals, lesions of a floating character; which is an effort of the sympathetic nervous system and the cerebrospinal at these centers to adjust and equilibrate these portions of the body. This disturbing force centers especially in those of the sensory organism not carrying sufficient quantity of
3820-1 Page 2
blood away from these organs, so that we have a disturbance in the mucous force about these; at times in the throat, at other times in the nasal passages and through the ducts in the head. There is some trouble at times with the eyes and a burning, at times a roar and pop in the head. This is all attributed to the fact that not sufficient blood force flowing through the nervines to carry off and take away these conditions in the system. This does not mean that this body is always sick, but that he feels these conditions a great deal more than he should.
4. As to the functioning of the organs themselves: In the lung forces we see much of the same condition as shown through the nervous energy as used in these centers, and affecting the two cardiac plexuses, those that have to do with the intake of blood force from the lymph, and which is to be distributed by the heart over the system. We have in the digestive tract or stomach not enough of sufficient properties to make the equilibrium at all times, so there has been left or given to this body the impression that there are things that he cannot eat. The liver and the spleen stand in an enlarged condition, this is shown throughout the action of the genatory [genitive - generatory?] system. Too much energy charges this system that should be eliminated from these channels.
5. Now to relieve, or to bring to a normal condition this body, we would take into the system those properties which would affect the blood force. These we will find in the form of Calcidin, which is a combination of salt and iodine, put up in tablet form. A dose should be 1 in the evening before retiring and 1 in the morning. The effect or action of this on the system is to add salines to the blood force, especially to the new supply of blood as taken into the kile [chyle?], and to give renewed energy to the plasmatic cells in the blood force. Then, as to the exercise of the body: this is to remove the lesions along the spine, and must be persisted in; take movements of the neck to relieve the stagnant blood force, and the arms and shoulders should have vigorous exercises, with in-take and out-let of breath, and by manipulation. The exercise to the head should begin with ten movements, and working up to a normal flow of blood force and nervous energy.
6. Follow these conditions persistently and we will find the body will have relief.
7. (Q) Is it necessary for this body to be operated on for hernia, Mr. Cayce? (A) It would be the safest and sanest way; it will relieve the condition in the abdomen where there is a strain, and
3820-1 Page 3
should be treated in itself. It is the safe, sane way, but it does not affect the condition as we have given it here.
8. We are through.
