TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, the abnormal condition as we find in this body has to do with the digestive forces and the action of these forces on the nervous system as the warning to the condition that exists in the body. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body. The circulation is fairly good, except where we find there is at times poisons thrown into the system from the existing condition in the hepatic circulation. This we see then so impairs the action of the nervous system as to cause the contraction of the muscular forces about the end of the stomach or the pneumogastric nerve, so that we produce this condition that exists at times in the head, see? the pains then go to the temple, to the base of the brain here, then around either side, you see, and it makes very excruciating pains at times to the top of the head also after suffering for a time. They do not begin with that pain. These forces, that is, the nerve energy, being impinioned, they present to the brain forces the condition, then we have an overflow of the blood to the brain to care for the condition, see? this being produced by the condition that exists through the intestinal tract rather than of the stomach itself, for the body suffers more from intestinal indigestion than from lack of properties in the stomach to take care of the conditions. But we find that foods entering the intestinal tract enter in an acid rather than a lactic state. Then the action of the juices created by the pancreas form the condition in the intestinal tract that produces the headaches and the nausea in the stomach, it being a reflection and the contraction of the muscles encasing the pneumogastric or center of head here at the base of the stomach. The reflexes from this condition affecting the hepatic circulation take up the circulation about the opposite pole or the kidneys themselves, so there is at times with the acid forces as created in the system too much acid thrown off by the kidneys themselves, so that there is an irritation at times produced in the bladder and in the neck of the bladder, so that it becomes, at times rather expressive to the system rather than of pain, though there is some pain at times when the urine is passed from the bladder - see? No organic condition would we say exists save that as expressed through the nerve muscular forces about the kidneys and the functioning as they express the action on the hepatic circulation and in nature attempting to care for that created in the system and being eliminated through the channels. The liver, of course, is cold in its action, or else we wouldn't have the condition existing so much through the hepatics, for they should create sufficient nutriment in its extretory functions to take care of the conditions through the intestines, see? but the properties necessary to create the balance in these forces would not be hard to add to the system if properly taken, see?
2. The adjustments, or treatment that has been along the spine, of course, are of assistance to the body, and would add materially to the system in its regaining its equilibrium, but with the impinionments that have been found along the region of the 10th and 11th and 12th dorsals, where most of the treatment has been to her for adjustments, would be bettered if the ends that have been created, in the nerve ends and muscular forces, were given the proper incentive through medicinal properties to give the correct balance needed in the system. We would take this. To one ounce of green ragweed we would make one pint of tea by putting this amount in one quart of water and reduced by simmering to the pint, see? Strain, then add two ounces of sugar with 2 1/2 ounces of grain alcohol, with one dram of balsam of tolu. Then with the adjustments, keep those, you see, in the system, we will rid this body of these conditions, and bring the normal action of all of the forces through the system. Do that.
3. (Q) Mr. Cayce, the adjustments that have been given, are they properly given, or have you some suggestions as to how they should be given?
   (A) We have given these. The adjustments are in the correct place. Follow this out all along the conditions of the spine. Don't be too fast with the adjustments, you see, but the body we will find will be better with these properties in the system, the adjustments will remain in their place better than they have heretofore, along the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th dorsals.
4. (Q) Mr. Cayce, how long will she have to take up these treatments?
   (A) Until we find the adjustment along the body correct. That should be from two to three moons, with the medicinal properties as given in the system, you see. This will produce the conditions through the intestinal force, through the stomach, and give the proper incentive to the blood supply forces, and relieve the nerve forces, when we do that we relieve the conditions through the whole system.
5. We are through.
