TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here, Edgar Cayce; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there are those tendencies for the slowing up of the eliminations through the alimentary canal. These have been altered or changed considerably through the activities of the body, which are good - provided these are kept in a more normal manner. For with the activities there is the necessity of the change in the secretions and changes in the activities of the system; these do not correspond with that which has been active in the eliminating channels of the system, see?
3. It would be well for there to be some manipulations given for the general adjustments of the segments along the cerebro- spinal system of a general nature; some one, two or three.
4. And the eliminations should be created in a manner as to make for more oil through the system, and those activities of same.
5. These will prevent those conditions that tend to make for the high blood pressure that exists in an abnormal manner in the present.
6. These we would do.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) What was the cause of the spell the body had last night?
   (A) Regurgitation from those inactivities of elimination and the drying of the secretions through the alimentary canal, and flow of the blood to the heart causing a too fullness of same, producing the shortness of breath and the flow back to the lung. High blood pressure.
9. (Q) Would it be well for the body to go on the three-day apple diet for cleansing of the system?
   (A) Would be well.
10. (Q) Are the apples we have in the house, that were gotten this morning for the body, alright for this?
    (A) Alright for this. Those that pertain to those activities of the Jonathan variety of the apple, or the jenneting; the Black Arkansas, the Oregon Red, (which are the ones you have here), the Sheepnose, the Delicious, the Arkansas Russet; any of those that are of the jenneting variety.
11. (Q) Any other advice for the body at this time?
    (A) Much might be given. These are the things to be warned of, else we will continue to make for this high blood pressure - or the EXTREMES; as the body goes from one extreme to the other.
12. We are through with this reading.
