1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; also the present tests that are being made - Mrs. [4142].
2. Now, as we find, these conditions exist in the physical functioning of the body: While there are some minor differences, these are the conditions as WE find them:
3. THE BLOOD SUPPLY shows there are toxins in the system of more than one nature; that there are too many of those that produce one character of disorder in the functionings of the system, arising from those disorders apparent in the torso or the intestinal portion of the system, and arising from conditions in the kidney area - though more of a sympathetic condition between the liver and kidneys than being wholly or solely of an endrenal nature, or from the adrenals. There is also some indication of the lack of the proper activity of the gastric juices, especially in the duodenum - from the pancreas and the liver fluids; or, properly, there is a torpidity in the spleen's action that makes for this disorder, rather than that as is found in that truly of the action from the glands in the secreting for the proper fluids in digestion. This, as we find, is psychopathic in its nature - the splenic nerves; no, not phrenic - SPLEEN nerves! In the activity, then, we find there is the slowing of the circulation, and not an ORGANIC heart disorder; rather that of the sympathetic nature which is produced from these disorders in the hepatic circulation, in the liver and spleen circulation. Hepatic, properly being, to be sure, the liver and kidney - while the other disorders from the circulation as related to the gastric forces, and especially psychopathic of the SPLEEN'S reaction - which has been mental states, of course, of the body.
4. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE NERVE SYSTEM, this - as we find - has for times past been rather an abnormal condition of the nervous system, primarily from those conditions or
4142-1 Page 2
things, or properties taken that have worked against a normalcy for the nerve circulation. This has produced, then, a tendency for ganglia along the sympathetic and cerebrospinal nerve system to become rather of those at times that are automatic, or involuntary; and those that are voluntary are almost reversed in their order; or those tendencies exist ESPECIALLY as related to the locomotions, or the extremities, for those centers especially in the lower lumbar area and upper dorsal area show such disordered activity.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES: As indicated, those in the nerve forces of the sensory organism have those disorders that are in line with those outside influences, and the conditions that have arisen from same.
6. In the lungs, these are rather indications of a disturbed circulation, of the pressures as produced in the system through the activities there of poisons, rather than the clarification properly of the blood supply through the pulmonary circulation.
7. Heart's action (though not organic disorders there, as we find), as indicated, a sympathetic condition rather than that of an organic condition.
8. Digestive system disordered through those conditions in the spleen. This the CENTRAL condition, as we find, and that - of course - to the nerve system as from same.
9. In the liver we find those torpidities as occur from those conditions in blood supply, as well as inactivities through the system.
10. In meeting the needs of the conditions of this body, as we would find, there should be two considerations properly taken as for that that will replenish that for the general system without bringing disorders to functioning organs, and that that will make for replenishing of the stored, or to STORE vitality and be rid of these continued impressions of this organ, that or the other, being responsible for those defects arising in system. Hence, as may be seen, for the two considerations that may be necessary to meet the needs of the conditions of body:
11. First we would find that REST will be one of the most important factors, under as pleasant surroundings as may be had by the body, with that type and character of companionship as would bring those - not altogether of what may be termed a spiritual nature, or as may be termed wholly dependent upon such for recuperative forces, but of that characterization that is cheery, yet responsibilities must be met, responsibilities must be taken care of AS these are uplifting in the nature of those surroundings for the body;
4142-1 Page 3
adding to the physical forces that which will create a nominal and proper balance in the elements and constituents for the proper functioning of glands, of which the spleen is possibly the nearest one of an organ that is a functioning gland.
12. In such, then, those properties that will loosen the more oxygen in the system to clarify the body, and that will make for normal eliminations, with these surroundings, would be then as these:
13. In these surroundings as given, apply then as this: Not one without the other!
14. The animated or carbon ash one-eighth grain each day, and three times every week - or every other day - have, at least thirty minutes after the dose is taken, the ultra violet ray applied to that portion of the body that makes the radiation more from the solar plexus area, or to the central portion of the spine - see? This will make for the activity of this in the system - see?
15. We would also begin with very SMALL doses of Atomidine, that will clarify the system. These should be taken in periods; three drops in half a glass of water morning and evening for five days. REST three days, then begin again for five days more - see? Keeping in this manner, we will find we will bring a better and a nearer normal condition. Necessary to follow these up.
16. In the matter of diet, keep that that is WHOLESOME, easily digested. Plenty of fruits, nuts; not meats. Green vegetables, those that will digest well with the system; and keep the eliminations through the alimentary canal. Also keep those that will make for an ACTIVITY of the body NOMINALLY; that is, as the changes come make the changes in the activities. In twenty-eight to thirty days we would give further instructions.
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) Where could she obtain the proper surroundings? (A) Well - that depends upon those who accompany, or who are with - or how the body is to be cared for.
19. We are through for the present. Two copies to H. M. Goetz Copy to Cayce file " " Ass'n file
