1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find this body is very good, yet there are abnormal conditions that have to do with the functioning of the organs and the effect this produces over the system, hence many reflex conditions at times in the body.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, Miss [3925], we are speaking of: The blood force in the circulation we find the blood supply deficient as to quantity rather than of quality, yet from overtaxed conditions through the system it produces, that is, the overtaxed condition, produces in the blood supplying force that of poor assimilation than of elimination, that is, it is hard for this body to find foods that always agree with the body and is easily assimilated to the system. The number of red blood cells are deficient, the number of the white cells are nearer the normal, hence the body has the tired, lanquid feelings at times, yet with the correct nerve excitement for the body it easily recuperates, that is, for the time being at least, see. Through the nervous system we find in the first, that is, the brain forces or the cerebrospinal center, we find this body very good. The action of brain forces over this system are good. The control of the nervous forces ar not as good as the brain forces which act with the body, for with nervous conditions in the system as is produced by pain or strain or taxation as we have at times through the pelvic region through the functioning of the organs of the pelvis, sympathetically, the pains then to the body produces an overtaxation until the pains to the head and to the body become severe enough to produce to the cerebrospinal the action that affects then the digestive organs, the intestinal tract and the portions of the body that produce rebuilding forces in the body, see. This, then, is how the nervous force affects the system. There is through the pelvic region in the sacral plexus those conditions that produce an overtaxation to the sympathetic system producing then to the functioning of the organs of the pelvis, their irregular forces that cause much trouble to the body, see. (It is through the nerve forces now we are speaking of.)

3. Through the sensory system and the co-ordinating forces between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic we find the body inclined to be rather super-sensitive in all of the functioning of the organs of the sensory system. This is from the high nerve tension of the whole body.
4. Through the functioning of the organs themselves with the condition of the blood forces and nerves and over-sensitive conditions we find through the larynx and through portions of the bronchials the effects of this condition to the body reflexly, see. Through the pneumogastric action or the nerves, that is, the nerves of the pneumogastric system, the condition through the stomach and digestive forces produced the contraction of the organ itself, hence the fullness, the nausea and pains in the body and when the reaction of this acts through the hepatic circulation we have the condition through the intestinal tract that becomes aggravated nerve energy, you see. Through the organs of the pelvis in their functioning with the overtaxed conditions we find that with the pressure as produced that the action of the functioning of the period becomes a burden to the body in that with the blood supply and condition produces then inflammation or to the pressure there is added, this expression of inflammation, you see. At these times we find through the whole system as effected by the sacral plexus, becomes again sensitive to the conditions within the system.
5. Now, to bring the perfect co-ordinating forces in the system and the relief to the body to make it the normal functioning body, we would give that in the system that will give proper incentives for the rebuilding forces to produce the perfect equilibrium throughout. We would give this in the system:
6. To one gallon of rain or distilled water, we would add: Yellow Dock Root..............2 ounces, Burdock Root..................2 ounces, Yellow Saffron (the root).....2 ounces, Black Root....................2 ounces.
7. This would be simmered not boiled until reduced to one quart, strain, while warm add four ounces of grain alcohol with three drams of Balsam of Tolu. The dose would be teaspoonful three times each day before meals preferably. Every fifth day take one teaspoonful of this: Tincture of Valerian..........2 ounces, Bromide of Potassium.........30 grains, Iodide of Potassium...........2 grains, Elixir Calisaya...............1 ounce.

Sufficient simple syrup to make six ounces. Shake well before each dose is taken.
8. Use vibration, electrically driven, each evening over the whole torso portion of the body or from the first dorsal to the coccyx, that is, along the spine, you see. This should be given just before retiring to give more rest to the body and to relieve the strained forces through the body. do that.
9. (Q) Mr. Cayce, this body wants to know whether the operation she has undergone was a success or not? (A) It was a success. We only have the reaction now to the sympathetic nervous system producing an overtaxed condition. There are no full or perfect lesions from this or adhesions either. There are only strained nerve force not perfectly set as yet.
10. (Q) The treatment you have prescribed, Mr. Cayce, will this help the eyesight and will she need glasses or not? (A) This is to strengthen the whole system, and with the forces in the system, is not necessary for this body to have the glasses as yet, you see.
11. (Q) Are the lungs in this body in perfect order, or are they affected? (A) Only as we have given are the lungs affected, sympathetically and of a low state of vital forces in blood, see.
12. (Q) What is the condition of this body's teeth, Mr. Cayce? (A) They are very good for the conditions throughout the system, see. Need some local attention.
13. (Q) This body has one tooth, would you recommend this be extracted or have the dentist try to save it. (A) Local, as we have given here, you see. We are through.
