1. EC: Yes we have the body here. Now the abnormal conditions as we find in this body have to do with a specific condition existing in the body, that in turn, producing on the functioning of organs a condition that exerts itself over the system, especially, to the locomotories of the lower part of the body.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body, [4571], we are speaking of, present in this room. The blood supply through the system, we find is not as sufficient as it should be, that is, there is not as much being created in the system as there should be. The quality is fairly good for it exerts a very good condition over the body with the existing conditions. There is not sufficient elimination exercised in the blood supply, producing a great deal of the overtaxed condition as shown through the trunk portion of the body, especially, through the region of the pelvic organs, hence the inability of the system to care for the eliminating properties that should be cared for, especially, do we see this effect through the action of the kidneys, or more specific, inflammation created at times through the bladder, you see. This is a condition arising and not the specific cause, if we would bring the permanent results needed. The hepatic circulation shows this condition, for we have a body that sympathetically handles the whole condition within the body, that is, through the nerve forces of the body in nerves, themselves, act well under the direction of the mind of the body and only accept that, that overpowers, as it were, the centers sufficient to act on physical force and matter, for the brain centers of this body are very far above the normal in its control over force within the system itself, yet with physical conditions within the body we must meet those with physical force. Now we have, deep-seated in the sacrum, the lesion causing the condition of overtaxed locomotory centers, this producing the inability of the body to have coordination between the nerve and muscular forces of the lower portion of the body. This explains, as it were, the connection between these portions of the system, not wholly so, you see, for the

circulation as blood supply through arterial is very good. We do not find, always, the vein circulation returns as much or as fast as it should, hence the condition that causes, at times, of numbness but without pain to this portion of the body. In the nerve forces, its ability to act with the muscles, reaction produces the troubles in the body. This was began at some times back when first we had s fracture to this portion of the sacrum and made a leakage that built up this pressure that has so cut off this condition, see. Now the functioning of the organs are very good save as we have given through this portion of the body affected. By this condition we have over-stimulus at times through the bladder and kidneys in their functioning.
3. Now to relieve this and bring a normal condition to this body, we would keep well in hand, the condition existing between the action of mind over the forces of the body by applying the physical means to allow the connection between the action of the mental force with the spiritual, for with every line there must be a means not interrupted or intercepted, see. We would knead, rub or massage well into the lumbar and sacrum region, this is external now given, Balsam of Sulphur, see. Keep this up until we get a reaction to these portions of the body. This should occur within two to three months. We do that.
4. (Q) Mr. Cayce, at this time, you would not prescribe any medicine for this body? (A) Only external application, and the action of the mind over the forces within the system. This body understands these conditions. Follow those.
5. (Q) Mr. Cayce, what should the diet be? (A) Those properties that do not act directly with an overcharged condition for the kidneys, that is, not too much sweets, not too heavy foods that carry heavy stimulants to these portions, cardiac stimulants. Will give no spirits of any kind but those of plain courses of foods for this body.
6. (Q) Would you recommend, Mr. Cayce, exercises for this body? (A) Only that sufficient to keep the vibrations corrected as much as possible until we begin to have a reaction from these properties in the system, you see.
7. (Q) Mr. Cayce, will there be anything in this treatment to relieve the numbness of this body? (A) We have given this to relieve the numbness, the condition that exist between the action of the nerve forces governing the locomotories, you see, all through the lower portions of the body there along the left side and reached across to the other side in sympathy with the left side, with this Balsam of Sulphur, will absorb and get a reaction

into this body. We are through.
