1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find there are some abnormal conditions in this body. They have to do with the elimination and with specific local conditions. The effect is to the circulation and the distribution or elimination of used forces as shown in the system.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [3832], we are speaking of, present in this room: First, in the circulation we find the blood supply is of the anemic character, though not wholly an anemic body, rather that in which the red blood corpuscle supply is used to create the secreting forces within the system, than of rebuilding tissue through the system, hence the conditions as are found through portions of the body where the mucus coating carry much of the lymphatic and the white blood supply such as is found through the nasal cavity, the head and portions of the throat, see. In the distribution of used forces the blood being insufficient to meet the needs of the system, all portions of the body where the emunctories and lymphatics exercise the secretions for the functioning of those organs the body at various cycles suffer, see, through the functioning of the spleen, the liver and of the pyres [peyer's] glands, the intestines, so we find the condition in all these portions of the body through that of the facial forces, especially, of the nostrils and of the organs of the head and face, through the digestive forces, especially, that of the pyloric end of the stomach digestion and that of the lower intestinal tract of the ascending and traverse [transverse] colon, see.
3. In the nervous systems, we find the conditions have caused certain centers on which the strain is over the system, that of local conditions, that produce an overtaxation at times to such an extent as the body becomes that of the high nerve tension of spasmodic rather than wholly conditions, see, this then exciting the action and flow of blood to the portions that are so affected producing the local conditions that may become feared at times, suffering at times from accumulation of the mucus secretion in the facial portions, again from nervous digestion rather
3832-1 Page 2
than indigestion from the lack of mucus to supply the conditions necessary for perfect elimination through the whole hepatic circulation.
4. In the organs themselves we find these conditions: The brain forces of the body are very good, yet to other normal minds, are at times considered erratic in expression of self. Through the organs of the sensory organism the high nervous tension at times produces the strain to any or all of the organs depending upon the cycle and the condition of the system, when such nerve condition presents itself to the body. The lung forces, we find are very good. The condition in which the blood supply is at present rarer or higher altitude would be better for the body under any conditions, see, so that we will expand the lungs more and obtain more oxygen to produce the perfect elimination in the system. Through the digestive tract we find the lower end of the pneumogastric nerve being overcharge by the excitement at times caused in the system by the taxation of digestive forces. The liver, laggard in its action. The pancrean forces, often not secreting properly for the condition, the high hepatic circulation being produced through the action of this condition. The kidneys show the strain that has been placed on these organs by the taxation of toxins to be eliminated from the system, for at times with the overtaxed condition the poor elimination works to the detriment of the body, see. There are conditions that to some bodies would be abnormal, to this body have the normal forces (this operation, you see).
5. We, to relieve this body would as we have given, first, change the climatic condition, see, then add to the system, this: To one gallon of rain water we would add: Wild Cherry Bark (preferably fresh and from the north side of tree)........6 ounces, Yellow Root................................2 ounces, Black Root.................................2 ounces.
6. Simmer, not boil, until reduced to one quart, strain and while warm add: Grain Alcohol..............................6 ounces, with Balsam of Tolu cut in it...................3 drams.
7. The dose would be desertspoonful half hour before meals and be sure and be regular with the meals, you see. Take something in the system to produce the proper secretions through the digestive tract.
8. For the conditions through the nostrils we would inhale
3832-1 Page 3
that of an antiseptic with an astringent nature, but one carrying that of alkaline, rather than acid reaction, of such as found in Glyco-Thymoline, or Ziora [Lavoris?] or of that nature or Glyco-Thymoline of same nature.
9. The diet should be of vegetables rather than meats, - plenty of vegetables; one meal at least of gruel with rich cream, you see. Do that for this body.
10. (Q) Mr. Cayce, is there anything further in regards to this body? (A) Do these as we have given if we would bring the best conditions to this body. This will relieve the conditions and give the necessary rebuilding facility to the system through the blood and eliminating forces of the body.
