1. FEM: Now, Mr. Cayce, you are going to sleep. (Pause) Now, Mr. Cayce, you are asleep, and all the organs of your body will function properly. You will hear me and answer all of my questions. You have before you this morning two bodies [See 4527-1, Par. R1]. The first body that you have before you this morning is [4527] present in this room. Do not tell me that you are through until you get the two bodies. Now, Mr. Cayce, I want you to go over this body that you have before you from head to foot, and examine the body carefully and tell me all the ailments and disorders that you find within this body, and then tell me what will relieve or cure the body from the conditions that you find, rheumatic or otherwise. [4527] present in this room.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, the abnormal condition that we find within this body has to do with the specific condition that affects the organs in their functioning, and also with organic conditions that affect the functioning of other organs, as well as themselves. Now, these are the conditions that we find within this body. [4527] we are speaking of. The blood in its course or circulation shows the effect that the specific condition has on the body, in that through the pulmonary the condition exists to such an extent as to cause the blood to become full and pass back through the system without perfect clarification or oxidation in the lungs themselves, for the condition existing through the bronchials themselves make the depression in the circulation as passes into and through the lungs themselves, producing a plethoric condition when the body is especially in certain positions, or the cycles of circulation reach a given point. That is the condition that exists in the system when the involuntary action of the system is being controlled by that system, as we would say, or by that condition existing in the body; that is when the physical rests. The condition is aggravated, for the positions of the impressions as reach to this portion of the body then gives the stronger impression to the circulation. The nerve forces in the system are very good, considering the condition as we find it along the spine, for we find at
4527-1 Page 2
the 6th dorsal a lesion that affects this condition through the circulation in the larynx and through the bronchials and lungs, and then, of course, of the impingement in certain conditions of the nerve forces as governing this portion of the body. Not to the extent as to cause a non-activity of the centers, or of the sensory activity of that portion of the body, but to such an extent as to affect the functioning of the organs themselves - that is the lungs, larynx, and the bronchials - and causes the condition that exists in the system. Through the outer portion of the circulation, - that is to the capillaries - the depression as caused through the hepatic and through the bronchials in their reaction, and in their force as applied to this portion of the body, becomes very lax in its proper circulation - that is it does not reach as often to the capillaries, nor give off through the respiratory system as much of the refuse force as should be eliminated in this manner, hence the system absorbs much of this in the system, and it affects then the ends or the joints, as it were, of the extremities, and causes at times that condition that produces the heaviness of the feet, and to the trunk portion of the body, especially across the lumbar region, for the circulation is attempting to so adjust itself as to assist the natural forces of elimination to carry these from the system. The organs in their functioning themselves express this condition in the system that we have just described here. As we find through the lungs themselves, we find the hard breathing at times caused from this condition. Through the sinew and joints at times the expression is of these as would be, and is from the lack of proper elimination through the correcting channels. To relieve this body would be to adjust the conditions as we find throughout the spinal column itself, and to give into the system those properties that would produce the balance of forces in the body. To assist the condition that we find in the larynx and bronchials, the portions of the lungs themselves, we would take, when we have this condition, a tablet, 2 1/2 grains, of Calcidin, to relax this portion of the body. We would take into the system to produce the proper condition through blood, and to aid the functioning organs of the digestive forces, to produce the proper forces through blood supply, to eliminate through natural means these: to 1 gallon of water, distilled, or rain water, we would add:
Yellow Dock Root............. 2 ounces, Burdock Root..................2 ounces, Prickly Ash Bark..............2 ounces,
4527-1 Page 3
Buchu Leaves................1/4 ounce, Elder Flower..................4 ounces.
This would be simmered, and not boiled, until reduced to one quart. While warm, after straining, we would add 4 ounces of grain alcohol, with 2 grains of heroin and 3 drams of balsam of tolu. A dose of this would adjust the condition we find in the upper dorsal region by manipulation, - massage - or chiropractic forces. This will relieve this condition, and bring a normal force to this body here. [4527] we are speaking of.
3. (Q) Mr. Cayce, I want you to answer one more question for this body. He has a trouble in his right hip, and I want you to tell whether that was caused from an accident, or what caused it. (A) [Repeating question] From an accident. The straining of the muscles and the ligaments of the hip here, you see, caused much of the condition, and with the improper elimination has exaggerated the trouble at times, or prevents the perfect coagulation of tissues to remove the whole condition, just as we have described as to how the pains come across the lumbar here, you see, at times from this condition.
4. (Q) Is this body's kidneys in good condition? (A) [Repeating question] We have just described the conditions conditions throughout the system, and how they are affected by improper elimination, and how at extraordinary times, as it were, these are forced to carry an excess amount of matter. They show the conditions as we have described them. hem.
