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 please hear me and answer all of my questions. You have before you this morning the body of Mrs. [4886], and the body is present in this room. You will please give me the condition of this body, and of the kidneys, gall duct, liver, stomach and nerve forces, and also the cause of her headaches, and all the abnormal conditions that you may find within this body, and give the length of time necessary for a permanent cure, and also give the remedies. Mrs. [4886], present in this room.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This body we find is very good throughout, both soul forces - both through the physical forces and the mental and soul forces of the body, yet we find, as we would in most any individual, some conditions through the physical that are not in a perfect normal functioning condition, as in this body we find the functioning organs those that are not normal and perfect in their functioning. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in this body - Mrs. [4886], we are speaking of. The circulation of the blood forces in this body are very good. Above that of the normal person as we find in individuals. The quality of the blood itself is good. The number of red and white blood corpuscles are normal, and normal in their functioning throughout the body. We find the circulation only becomes impaired or interfered with at specific times, or at the time that it has the menstrual flow of the body the disturbances usually show in the system, or when they should function these organs we have reflexes producing conditions or disturbances to the nervous system and causing much distress at times to the physical forces in the body. The nervous system as we find only shows through the action of the centers themselves, that is the plexus, and especially those about the lumbar region, that show the effect of the condition existing through the system itself, and the reflexes from these, with the condition as produced through the intestinal tract, are from the conditions that
4886-1 Page 2
arise in the stomach at times, that it brings or gives an expression to the nerves that give off their expression of pain to this body. That producing the headaches are the pains that come through the nerves governing the flow of the blood to both the stomach and the pelvic organs of this body. Their condition gives expression to these centers, and is felt, or the warning of the condition existing becomes knowledge to the body through the nerves of the sympathetic nervous system, as here. You see?
FEM: Yes, sir.
3. We have a lesion about the 4th lumbar plexus, and this shows from congestion as is brought to bear through the pelvic organs. We have a reflex or floating lesion that at present gives to the system the knowledge of the condition as exists through the stomach and the intestinal tract, giving off these reflexes to the nerves of the cardiac plexus, producing at times just a bit of nausea to the body, especially so every morning, or just after eating, if the stomach is over-loaded. This is only reflex forces from the condition as exists through the nerve centers from the lumbar region. You see?
FEM: Yes, I see.
4. The organs themselves, or of the brain centers, or of the cerebrospinal base, we find the action of the brain forces are good. The pains that come to the left side, or the forehead here at times, only being reflexes and from the functioning of the organs, either directly or indirectly coming from the condition of the lumbar region. Through the throat, the larynx and thyroid glands, and from that through the throat itself, where we have at times a little fullness, from congestion, which is not an organic condition, but rather of a non-balanced nerve distribution throughout the system, and congestion makes the body only super-sympathetic in the action of certain mucous forces, or lymphatic circulation in the body. The lungs themselves are good, and well express the condition of the blood supply and the balance of the blood forces in the body, or in the system. The stomach, or intestinal tract shows the action of the forces as given through the effect of the cardiac plexus being disturbed at times and causing the fullness or nausea appearing at times. This also accounts for the condition that we have through the action of the hepatic circulation and its effect on the intestinal tract, producing as we have some times - not always - because the effect is oftentimes one way in the body, and again we have another, and the
4886-1 Page 3
intestinal tract inclines at times to become oversensitive, or the body suffers from constipation. Again we have just the opposite condition, and we have intestinal indigestion when we have the action of the mucous thrown off from this. These are only spasmodic conditions, and show the condition as produced throughout other portions of the body. The action of the liver and kidneys themselves are very good. Even inflammation at times appears from the action of the bladder, produced through inflammation as found in the pelvis, when we find the fallopian tubes do not dilate or act in accord with their functioning through the system, which are caused by the lesions as we have found here at the 4th lumbar plexus, and this causes the condition that we have through the heaviness of the feet, and the feeling of depression as comes to the whole body, when we have the pains that reflect to the head itself. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
5. This causing at this time a suppression of the action of the nerve forces to the cerebrospinal and produces despondency, but it is not an action of the brain itself, but it is a reflex sympathetic reaching through the soul and spirit forces, rather than to the building of the body itself. These are the conditions as we find them in this body here. Now, to give the proper balance to this body, and to relieve the conditions in this system, we would give it a systematic treatment along the sacrum and lumbar region, and to that of the whole length of the spinal column to some extent, and deep vibrations should be given from an electrically driven vibrator to this portion of the body to relax, and to the sacrum and lumbar and solar plexus and 9th dorsal deep vibrations; either side of the spine itself, and down to the knees, and that is the inside of the body lying on the face when this treatment would be given, and to the knees themselves and along the whole length of the sciatic nerve, and this will give the vibration to all of the organs of the pelvis, in order that we might give the proper blood flow, or proper flow of blood supply, and through this, and with the condition of the body which is good, as we have given, remove by absorption through the proper channels the conditions and relieve the pains to the head - not as a special treatment to the head, except just along the cervical on the left side of the body. Keep this up for about six to eight weeks, and we will find we will have a better condition and a balance of force to resist the nervous condition coming to the body, and we will have a proper distribution of all blood and nerve forces in this
4886-1 Page 4
body here. Do that.
6. (Q) What kind of electric vibrator should be used on this body? (A) [Repeating question]
7. (Q) And how often a day? (A) [Repeating question] Any kind that will give the deep vibrations to the body, using the hard end, or the knob end of the vibrator on the system every evening just before retiring, and let it be given next to the body itself, or on the body itself, and not over the clothing. You see?
8. (Q) Yes, sir. Mr. Cayce, this body wants to know if that treatment will relieve the tight feeling in the back of her neck? (A) [Repeating question] We have just given that the cervical must be treated on the left side especially, and those are the conditions that we have described. Do as we have given here. The deep vibration along the sacrum and lumbar region. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
And up to the 9th and 10th dorsal over the rest of the body, except the left side, or the neck here, or the cervical, and on down to the knee, or along the line of the sciatic nerve. Keep this up and be constant, and not take these treatments one time and forget it for three or four days, else we will not get the needed vibration to the system. Do this. We are through.
9. Now, Mr. Cayce, you will forget all about this reading you have just given. You are feeling fine, and all the organs of your body function properly. Now, wake up in just one minute feeling fine an all right, and absolutely free from headache. che.
