TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, there are many abnormal conditions in this body. They have to do with the functioning of organs and those nerves that produce this condition and the effect as this produces in functioning organs, in circulation, in the nerve system. These may be corrected.
2. Now, these are the conditions as we find in this body of [76], we are speaking of. First, in the blood supply, while we find the quality in the system not of the best on account of the poor elimination and the condition as is created in the system from the circulation, both through the conditions of organs not eliminating and the condition of the nerve system producing an improper elimination. The quantity is very good. The deficiency lies rather in those properties carried in the circulation and created by nerve forces as we shall see and not eliminated under other conditions by the condition of organs. In the nerve system, we find this disturbed throughout. There are two specific conditions in the cerebro-spinal system where impingement of nerves affect their distributing energy, - in one to the circulation proper that we find at the ninth dorsal vertebra; the other in the 3rd lumbar and affects the system to the lower portion of the body and to the trunk portion that of the digestion, the liver in its action making it then inactive in its excretory functioning, over-loading the kidneys in their excretory functioning. The one in the 9th dorsal region giving the reflex action to the digestion in another way, but gives the forces more in the heart and the hepatic circulation from that ganglion governed by the branches of this impinionment at this segment, 9th, you see.
3. In the sympathetic system, this has become involved by the body becoming irritable through this reflex, and producing sympathetically the reaction in many portions of the body, - specifically those in the throat, and larynx, and the susceptibility from this is the cold and congestion the body takes on with this condition, and this we see in the circulation to the capillaries, you see, as the abrasions produced reflexly. Also the hypogastrics are involved, causing the blood flow to the stomach, especially in the pyloric end, hence the gas that forms at times in the system, giving distress to all of the intestinal tract, - hence the alimentary canal is involved throughout the torso, then suffering the most, that is the trunk portion, you see.
4. The organs in themselves we find organically very good, though with the nerve condition and blood supply coming in the condition as it is, many of these organs suffer in this condition reflexly. The organs of the sensory system, the lungs, give that reaction from congestion and the blood in its flow not clarified properly from the nerve forces, producing an overflow, gives the shortness of breath and the digestive organs all show the reaction in this manner, for each in their turn at times suffer from these conditions, more from their change in cycle functioning than in organic functioning.
5. The condition then to be removed first is those along the spinal column, the 9th dorsal, the 3rd and 4th lumbar, see, by Chiropractic adjustment for the system. Then give the body, with this adjustment, that of the vibrations that will cleanse the system from the impurities as have been created in the various organs and blood throughout the system. After there has been the adjustment, or the body has taken at least seven adjustments; though we would not stop there but make them farther apart, until at least fifteen are taken, in all, - but after the 7th, begin and take this into the system:
6. To one gallon of rain water we would add:

   Sarsaparilla Root..................3 ounces,
Dogwood Bark.......................1 ounce,
Calisaya Bark......................1 ounce,
Elder Flower.......................4 ounces,
Buchu Leaves......................15 grains.

   Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to one quart, strain while warm, and add 6 oz. grain alcohol with 2 drams of Balsam of Tolu cut in it and 1 dram of Balm of Gilead (that of course in its normal state) with 15 minims (drops) of oil of peppermint.
7. Do that. The dose would be two teaspoonful three times each day before meals. Drink plenty of water and take sufficient exercise and do not apply ointments to the portions of the body when the body eliminates in these abrasions that have been produced. Let them dry of themselves. They may be powdered however, with boric acid in powder form or Stearate of Zinc in powder.
8. (Q) Mr. Cayce, is it necessary for this body's tonsils to be removed?
   (A) Not if the adjustments are made properly, and see the circulation is adjusted properly to this portion of the body. As we have given, this is a nerve condition rather than of organic forces.
9. (Q) Mr. Cayce, if this treatment is followed, when should this body be brought back to its normal condition?
   (A) With 30 to 40 days.
