Time of Reading Cayce Hospital, 3:40 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Virginia Beach, Va. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5572]. Now, we find there are conditions in the physical functioning of the body that give and produce distress for the mental body. These having to do with the mesenteric system and with the digestive system. In the distresses that are brought, these - SYMPATHETICALLY - are reactions, or retractions, in the physical forces.
2. These, then, are conditions as we find them, physical and mental, with this body - [5572] we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY - This we find near normal in every manner. The distress in same, as to the pulsation - or in the heart's action with same - being only sympathetic.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM - This we find the seat, or the causes of the distresses through the system. There being other conditions than pressures, or just the derangement of the nerve reflexes - for the conditions, the age, the reactions in the functioning organs, also have their part in the repressions that are produced. In the lower lumbar and the dorsal we find the distresses that bring for the system, in the retractions, those as bring for the mesenteric disturbance, as we do also in the cervical and the UPPER dorsal, as brings those distresses at times to the brain's retraction, as WELL as for that as is the cardiac end of stomach - which produces for the nausea, as WELL as for those depressions as produce the fullness of the circulation through the liver and through the diaphragm region; causing a spasmodic condition, as of an INNER pulsation, or throbbing.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES:
6. IN the brain's reaction with the repressions that are brought, we find there are distortions as come; for reactions in the system show that whenever or wherever there may be a repression; thence we have the physical functioning coming in association, or associated with same.

7. In throat, bronchi and lungs - these are very good.
8. In the digestive system, here we find much as often produce disorders. Not through the action of the system itself so much, as in the repulsing of foods FOR the system, as cause the distress. Hence it will be found necessary that diets be FOLLOWED - but often changed, for the system. Not only to meet the NEEDS, PHYSICALLY - but to meet the needs of the body physically and MENTALLY, in its reaction IN same; as will ALSO be found that rest AND stipulated exercise will be necessary, as will also be the needs for the CORRECTION, OSTEOPATHICALLY, of those conditions existent in the cervical - second, third and fourth; the dorsal, first and second; twelfth and eleventh lumbar; fourth, and the upper portion of the sacral. Also there should be those reactions for the system as would be added through that of the VIOLET ray for the exterior circulation, or for the LYMPH and the emunctories, as they react in the system. These following, then, especially along the lower portion of the cerebrospinal system, and especially across the diaphragm. THESE will bring the better reactions for the body.
9. Heart's action, as is seen and given, in that of the nerve reaction IN system; as is also that of the hepatics, as need the CLEANSING - which will be necessary for medicinal properties to ALLAY the system. Then, the bromides in the MINOR nature, and ESPECIALLY those of the sodas, and of those in that that will keep a STIMULI to the system, or we may prepare as this, as a sedentary nature for the system: This we would give three to four hours apart. The dose of same would be, when shaken together, half a teaspoonful in half a glass of water.
10. To 4 ounces of simple syrup, then, add: Tincture Valerian....................1/2 ounce, Elixir Calisaya......................1/2 ounce, 10% Solution Iodide of Potassium......30 minims, 10% Solution Bromide of Potassium.....15 minims, Tincture of Capsici....................3 minims. Shake together before the dosage is taken, and take as has been given.
11. Keep the massages at least once each day, making the corrections twice each week; changing the DIET at least twice each week.
12. The exercises and the rests should be as specific as would be medicinal properties and those of the manipulations.
5572-1 Page 3
13. Rest of mornings for at least two to three hours. Exercise at least an hour, as much in the open as possible. In the afternoons rest the same, and in the evenings - not too MUCH sleep, but sufficient that the reactions will come for the whole system. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) What should the diet be? (A) As has been given, these shall be altered, or shall be changed from time to time, necessary to meet the needs of the conditions. Beginning first with that of the citrous diet, with the whole wheat and the grains - ROLLED in same, rather than those of the ground too much. Nuts and fruits; also meats OCCASIONALLY. Necessary that these be CHANGED, you see, from time to time.
15. (Q) Is condition functional or organic? (A) Functional, as has been given - for these are from the repressions that are reactive with the nerve forces as produce functioning in the system. Were they organic, we would have a specific DISTURBANCE as would CENTRALIZE in the functioning organ. Here we have the change and the REPRESSIONS to the reactions in system. The body ILL, through that of repression.
16. (Q) Can body get proper treatments at home? (A) HARDLY!
17. (Q) Would you advise colonic irrigation? (A) We WOULD!
18. (Q) How often? (A) Once each week until at least four or five are taken.
19. (Q) Approximately how long before body is normal? (A) Six to eight weeks.
20. (Q) What causes the peculiar feeling in chest? (A) That, as has been given, the pulsation through the diaphragm. Hence the repression as to be reactory through the applications of the violet ray directly across this diaphragm region, and circling the body.
