First, THE BLOOD in its circulation, we find, is being
loaded, as it were, with those elemental forces in the
building cellular force for the body that should be
eliminated. Or, as we find, the emunctories in both organs
of the hepatic circulation [liver and kidneys?] do not carry
with the circulation the conditions as they should with the
eliminating from the system. Hence this weakness, this rise
of temperature for the blood at times. It is the condition
that exists in the blood and produces very bad coagulation,
and its effect on the system is that of a continual strain
on the body, until the body has such as to show we are
treating the conditions [symptoms?] rather than the seat of
the troubles. For this effect does not mean that this is a
contamination from hereditary forces. For we carry elemental
conditions rather than hereditary forces in the blood supply
in the system.
The liver and kidneys and their functioning as organs, with
the circulation, show the condition in which each organ is
acting. For the actions of these organs are the reflex from
the condition in the lower end of the stomach that gives the
expression to the brain, in its action through the
pneumogastric nerve course. So there is the tired feeling of
the brain in its action at times, producing a condition in
the system where the brain forces - with the other conditions
of the system - refuse to give off at times sufficient
incentives to carry out the functionings of the other organs.
So, through these expressions themselves in the body, we find
there is carried to the lymphatic circulation that which
gives the rise to the conditions in the locomotories. Hence
the inability at times for this body to give expression even
of its individual self.
Now, this body may be brought to its normal forces and
through physical means be made whole or normal again, but it
must be through a long series of treatments to be followed
for the various conditions that arise, with this body in its
weakened condition and with so little resistive forces,
though it has been in a lower state of resistive force than
at present. We must give to this body that which would give
sufficient incentive force for the body to meet the resistive
force that must be met in order to gain its equilibrium.
First, we would give to this body along the whole length of
the spinal column that strength to renew its resistive
forces from the first cervical to the coccyx - by kneading
or rubbing into the body equal parts of sulphur and hog fat
with oil. This would be kept up for two weeks, you see, so
as to give strength to this portion of the body.
We would then give into the system these medicinal
properties:
To six ounces of Wild Cherry Bark, put one-half gallon of
rain or distilled water; reduce by simmering to one quart.
While warm, add:
Oil of Eucalyptus.............30 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp.........10 minims,
Grain Alcohol..................4 ounces.
The dose would be a tablespoonful four times each day.
The diet shall be those foods only that carry much carbon for
the system.
Do this and we will have prepared the body to help itself to
remeet the resistance it must, in order to gain its
equilibrium.
Do that.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, give the medicine before meals or after?
(A) After.
(Q) And in the evening before bedtime?
(A) And in the evening before bedtime.
(Q) What should she do for constipation, Mr. Cayce?
(A) These medicinal properties that we have given, and the
oils we have given to rub, are to meet these forces in the
system that will produce the condition to make the bowels,
the liver, the hepatic circulation function in the normal
manner, you see.
(Q) Will these spells gradually leave the body, or will they
leave at once?
(A) Gradually, as we have given. This is only to get this
condition to restore the resistiveness for this body.
(Q) Can this body go out in the open air?
(A) It is best for the body to be in the air as much as
possible, for, as we have given, we will use common sense in
doing as we have given. We do not get enough carbon in the
house, you see.
