1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, while we find this very good in many respects, there are some abnormal conditions in this body. They have to do with the functioning of some of the glands in the body, and the effect that stimulation of organs and glands have over the functioning of the nerve and the functional conditions of other organs.
2. Now these are conditions as we find in this body, at the present time, see, [4700] we are speaking of, present in this room: In the blood supply we find this above the normal in pressure at the present time - not sufficient to be warrior [wary] of at present, but the show and tendency of the heart forces, see, though not organic conditions at present. The numbers of red blood cells sufficient, the numbers of the white deficient in their action over the system, for with the glandular forces in the system, especially, the typhys [thymus] gland showing the excess as the strain comes, brings the pressure to the system.
3. In the nerve forces in the body we find very good, rather nervy as would be called. The whole nerve system rather on strain, yet sufficient in all its action as yet to take care of conditions, but not well to overtax these forces farther than at present, see, rather relax more than the body does through all the nerve forces of the system. The sympathetic system is very strong at present, but rather taxed even under the conditions, see. The sensory nerve system, very good for the whole condition of the body.
4. In the functioning of the organs themselves we find the brain forces of this body very good. Too often the whole energy there, though, is kept on strain, see; rather inclined to be one of the higher forces through physical, mental and spiritual when allowed to manifest itself. Too often, the spiritual or [are - is] submerged, see.
5. In the larynx, throat and bronchials, we find some show of congestion but strain of the mucus-producing glands of this portion of body, though very good normally, see.
6. The lung force, very good.
7. The digestive tract fairly normal for the conditions as
4700-1 Page 2
produced by the stimulation in the glands that hinder the functioning of the secretions necessary to produce the perfect digestion through the whole system; hence [there] are times the body is hindered in its best action by intestinal indigestion in parts, see.
8. The liver in its secretion not as good as should be; in its excretion, very good.
9. Kidneys show the strain of stimulation to the glands in the intestinal tract and in the pyres [Peyer's] glands, especially, so there is in the system the effects of the non-excretions from pyres [Peyer's] glands, see.
10. In all, the body at present is very good. There are conditions that the body must be warry [wary] of: Not so much of the stimulation to the system, either in the forces to brain reaction or to the system, that hinders the action of the spleen, or of the forces to create the secretions for intestinal digestion, else we will find the breaking of the cellular forces through the hepatic circulation and strangulation to the glands in the typhus [thymus] region, see.
11. To give the best effect in the body and to rid the condition existing through the system and to give the perfect intestinal action of the body, we would take this once every seven days for one month, and do not have the stimulation in the system to counteract the condition. This would be one dose: Licorice Compound................1 grain, Cascara Segrada................1/2 grain, Yellow Saffron...................1 grain.
12. Four of these should be made.
13. Let the body have plenty of outdoor exercise, but not excess in any manner or form for the body. Plenty of water in the system inside and out. The body will keep fit for many days and years, [4700].
14. (Q) Is there danger of Bright's disease or any like kidney trouble in this body? (A) We have just given the conditions through the action of the glands that cause the over-secretions when sufficient excess is shown for the functioning of the kidneys. The condition might arise, not at present.
15. (Q) How long will this body remain in a state of health and be able to function efficiently, when this treatment you have prescribed is followed out? (A) We have given many days and many years.
16. (Q) What kind of stimulation do you refer to, Mr. Cayce, that this body uses to excess?
4700-1 Page 3
(A) That stimulation that overtaxes the glands in the system, as we have given. He has it here, you see. He knows it. That is his business.
