Edgar Cayce Readings, 134-1

Time: Unknown A. M. (?).

TEXT

EC: Mr. [134], yes, we have him here. Pretty near wore out.
Begin this at the head. Very poor capillary circulation through the whole body, especially near the head and facial muscles and brain and head proper and all the whole head. Capillary circulation is very weak, you see, for the whole system shows it just as it is shown in the head. Down the spine, refractory, dorsal, lumbar, cervical and shows abnormal condition throughout the eighth dorsal, second lumbar. Stomach all swiveled up and the liver too large, much impurity of blood. Circulation is weak through the trunk, through the extremities. Nerves very good for the circulation, you know. Pretty good nerve, pretty good will power.
This condition of the whole body is brought about by the whole system being run down, wore out, from lack of nutriment. Supply to the rest of the system from the stomach itself. Lack of the stomach in itself to supply the quantity needed by the system; the building material for the bone, muscle, nerve, for the blood, brain, for each different organism in itself. Supply from what is taken in by the digestion carried on in the stomach itself. Here we lack the amount of nutriment to carry all this. Calcium, iron, dirt - need more.
The impoverished condition of the rest of the system depends on this, you see, from the condition we have here in the stomach now. We destroy this and we see it is gradually impoverished. Thus, we find the whole system here depended on what is taken in here. If you don't get enough into the stomach to supply life we don't have it. He has been able to take it. It hurts, it don't hurt his head, his stomach hurt, wore out, needs a new one to rebuild this one and you cannot put a new one in it. To rebuild first cleanse with water. Wash it clean, thoroughly fill the system with water - pure water - and we take a light diet (not flesh, but cereals and vegetables), until the system is thoroughly cleaned and take iron and calcium. A reaction from the blood to the lungs and get a fuller capillary circulation. Digitalis and strychnine begin to supply the need. It is wore out, and get enough into the stomach to cleanse it thoroughly.
[10/31/86 JT's note: It is assumed that [134] had two readings on the same day. The first version perhaps given in the morning, and the second version given in the afternoon - taken down by another steno. Paragraphs 5-7 below is the second such version.]
LBC: You have before you [134] what is the matter with him? Begin at his head and tell us all about him.
EC: Pretty near worn out. Very poor capillary circulation through the whole body especially near the head. Capillary circulation very weak over the whole system, but particularly down the spine and dorsal, cervical. Abnormal condition at the eighth dorsal, second lumbar. Stomach is all shrivelled up, too. Liver too large. Very much impoverished blood. Circulation weak through the whole body but especially so at extremities. Nerves very good considering the poor circulation - pretty good nerves - pretty good will power. Whole system run down for a lack of nutriment supplied by the blood. Now, you see, we have in the system building material for the brain, for the muscles and for the blood: these have to be supplied and carried to the rest of the body by the blood corpuscles, and carried to the rest of the body by the blood corpuscles as nutriment - like iron in here or dirt in here - impoverished conditions of the rest of the system has made this impossible for the blood and corpuscles and they have to be supplied with this nutriment or the whole system will be impoverished.
I have not been able to detect any improvement, his whole system is mighty near worn out. We can only help nature, we cannot have new organs. We will first cleanse with water, pure water, pump the stomach full and then pump it out. After this, a light bath. Diet of cereals and vegetables. When the stomach is thoroughly cleansed and repaired take in iron calcium until you have reaction then stimulate with digitalis. Before we begin to build up we have to thoroughly cleanse the whole system, then it will be all right.

BACKGROUND

Because there are two versions of Reading 134-1, it is assumed that [134] had two readings on the same day. Possibly the first copy was transcribed in the morning by one stenographer, and the second was transcribed in the afternoon by another. Both versions are included within the Text of Reading 134-1 and is considered to be one Reading.
