1. GKN: Now, Mr. Cayce, you are going to sleep - a quiet, peaceful and restful sleep. All the organs of your body will function perfectly and you will be normal in every way. You will hear me what I say and answer the questions I shall ask you slowly and distinctly so that we may get every word. Now, Mr. Cayce, you are asleep and you have before you the body of [3932] who is in room 2154, McAlpin Hotel, New York City, N.Y. You will see this body and go over it carefully and tell us what the trouble is, if anything to make it normal again, and you will answer my questions about this body, Mr. Cayce.
2. EC: Yes, you have the body here. We find there are conditions in this body, [3932] we are speaking of, that are abnormal to this body. Many of these have to do with the functioning of organs, many of them have to do with reflex conditions from conditions of overtaxed organs by conditions existing in the system, see, where nature in itself attempting to establish the correct equilibrium between the functioning of certain vital organs in the system throw off or take in. We have excretion and secretion of one of the larger organs of the body wherein there is trouble and congestion. We have other conditions that might be abnormal to other bodies that to this body are not abnormal. Now, these are conditions as we find in this body here, [3932] we are speaking of. First, we find the blood impoverished humanat loban [hemoglobin?], also of the leukocyte of a certain character throughout the system, see.
3. The call of nature to rebuild on this portion of the body being so severe this being below the normal condition that should exist in this body here. We find that the action of the nerve force, taking up first, the brain, the center here in the head, is good. The action of the nerve force through the cerebrospinal nervous system is very good, especially development of certain portions of the brain above the abnormal, especially along the lines being able to balance well right and wrong, in the mind of this body. The sympathetic nervous system we find of a different nature and overtaxed at times. There are times when the body refuses to function through the normal channels governed by the
3932-1 Page 2
nerves in this system and in their gangular and centers there becomes misery or pain to the cerebrospinal force, so it is thrown out to force or makes the body tired, depleted in strength and resistive force in a way to express, you see, the action of the cerebrospinal force, yet the brain is acting as well as ever before showing the difference in what we mean. The physical body, not being able to carry the mental force of this body here. This we see effected again in the nerve energy of the sensory organism of the body, all of these systems being separate and distinct within themselves in every normal body, all working in conjunction, one with another. One may be distinct or in trouble without the other being the same. Yet all must suffer, see.
4. The seat or the cause of this trouble or condition we find in this body is that of the system absorbing or taking in toxins from self, that is through the digestive tract of the body. Auto-intoxication the body suffers from, carrying then much poisons throughout the system. At times we find the effect comes from the urinic [uremic?] poison, at times from the gall. Again, we find it comes from excretory portions of the liver. So that parts throughout the system are affected different times different ways yet the same affect will come from the nervous force of indigestion. It might be these are the conditions as it produces in the system. The feces remains at times through the colon impact. At times we find that the duodenum instead of throwing out or allowing to pass from the excretions discharged by the liver itself becomes clogged preventing this from passing. There is a lack of lactic fluids in the lower end of the stomach. There is an excess at times of the hydrochloric in the upper portions. There is a lack at times of the salivary glands giving off sufficient of the peptoles to carry digestion properly through the system, nervous energy expended on rebuilding and other forces causing this condition and we have outlined before how they will effect.
5. To be feared in this body is the poisons taken from the perforations that may appear in the intestines causing the reaction through the blood and nerve of the sympathetic system to the joint and marrow of the body is what is to be feared; then also forcing the reaction to the kidneys through the urinic condition and become poison. Now, the body is not always as sick as present, is not always as abnormal because nature throws off from itself; to produce an equilibrium in this body, to bring it to a normal condition, that is the physical body, to give off of the best of the classifications of physical, mental and
3932-1 Page 3
spiritual self, do this.
6. First, we would take in to the system this: Senna.........................3 grains, Licorice......................1 grain, Yellow Saffron................2 grains.
7. This would be given in capsules. This is the dose as given: these will be taken morning and evening from three to five days, depends on the action on the system. To aid this in getting the proper condition in system we would use tepid water and use hard enemas to wash thoroughly out through normal channels the colon. Begin first some two or three inches from top of enema extending then to use after two or three days the full length. After this has been used the system has been cleansed taking some three to five days as given here. The body has resisted then two days without taking medicinal properties into the system. As to this douche it is taken at this time being normal with itself. Do not fear to eat certain things. Let the system call for the things as needed most for it. Fruits and cereals will be the first impressions for this body here, [3932] we speak of. Then we will begin taking this:
8. 16 ounces sage (garden sage) placed into a gallon of rain water or pure water, allowed to steep, not boil, until it is reduced to one quart. This is strained off and to this is added this: Cane Sugar....................8 ounces, Gin...........................1 pint, Ambergris (gray preferably)...3 drams, Cinnamon.....................15 grains. The dose of this will be taken before meals, tablespoonful twice a day morning and evening. The action of these properties on the system is this: The sage with the other properties that have been put in the system before this as cleansing forces sedative to the duodenum, a reactive principle through the kidneys through the excitement created by this amount of this sedative taken to the liver. The sugar acts with the tea or sage to make it palatable and with this sugar as created or manufactured in the stomach reducing the acid state forming an alcohol preferable to that being formed in the system at present. The ambergris formed a new coating with the mucous lining of the intestine exciting by the stimulation of the gin that is taken that reacts on the kidney to form new blood supply through the hepatic circulation to induce the walls to become stabilized

to meet the resistance and will take away all forms of digestion throughout the system.
9. In after times, if necessary use the enema and no medicinal properties after which the body will be in a normal condition.
10. (Q) Are there any particular exercises necessary to this body, Mr. Cayce? (A) The body exercises itself very good. We have taken this into consideration in giving properties we have given here to the body. No additional exercises will be advised with these conditions we have given here. Do as we have given if the body would rid itself of this condition existing in the body.
11. (Q) What is the trouble with the left nostril of this body, Mr. Cayce? (A) Remove these conditions as we have given here, you see. In the system we will find that the removal of forces in the system where they have become reflex to the sensory organs and choke organs on these sides will remove the trouble that we have through these organs. Those are purely reflex conditions through the head, through the eyes at different times. This body will be relieved. Now we are through.
12. Now, Mr. Cayce you will dismiss this body. You will not see it any more. For the present you are resting quietly and peacefully. All the organs of your body are going to function normally and perfectly. You will awake now in one minute feeling good and alright. You will forget what you have said but will be feeling good and alright. Wake up as I have said in one minute, Mr. Cayce.
