TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body, [480]; this we have had before.
There are some changes in the general physical forces of the body since last we had same here. While some have become somewhat alarming, to some, these as we find in the main are better conditions as a whole.
And if the situations and conditions are carefully guarded, and taking advantage of the reactions that have occurred and are occurring in the system, we should find bettered conditions from the whole of the experience.
For much in those disturbances are the attempts of the body to adjust itself with the changes brought about. And while the inflammation is in the kidney area, and there are the activities of the glandular system as related to the pancreas, the liver and the spleen in its productions of activities in the system, these are temporary. And with these as we find taken advantage of, not producing that upon which the system would come to depend, but these given in forms or manners that are easily assimilated and are a part of the system's activity, we would find these would make for a much greater improvement and the body then - rather than being reliant upon influences to be administered - would create same as a natural effect in the whole of the glandular system itself.
As to the conditions about the mammary glands, with this flow - and with the gentle manipulation and the use of the properties that are absorbed - naturally, with this absorption, there is a show of excess through the activity of the kidney itself (from the blood flow). This again, of course, is temporary; provided that is cared for in the ways that have been outlined.
While there should not be too much of the manipulations in the pelvic areas to so increase the flow as for it to become an aggravating condition or a strain upon the system, there should be at least sufficient that the system eliminates that from the body as a natural flow - and not as too much of an excess.
Hence, these as we find would be the better activities for the body in the present:
First, keep up the applications about the mammary glands with the compound as a rub. Keep up the gentle manipulation with same. If the excess of the milk arises, naturally this should be withdrawn rather than attempt to have same assimilated by the system, or taking chances of this forming a cake or hardening in the glandular forces themselves. Be careful, to be sure, that there is not a bruising, either in the manipulation or the massage, or in the pumping, of the glands themselves.
There should be sufficient of the manipulations to keep the body generally relaxed, stimulating specifically for the activity to the glandular forces of the spleen, the pancreas and the liver from the upper portion of the 9th dorsal center, as well as the lower portion of the secondary cardiac plexus center; which, if all of these are combined in the manipulative forces, will make for a stimulation with the properties as we find that would be indicated to be taken as a tonic and as a toning for the system, that would be assimilated and would make for better digestion as well as producing a better activity throughout the body.
Stimulate, of course, the lumbar and the lower dorsal for the pelvis, but not to the excess - such that there is an overflow.
But when these manipulations or stimulations are made, we would also relieve the congestion, or make for the production of an activity from the coccyx center or the end of the spine and to the feet also; especially under the knee and in the bursa of the feet themselves. For this with inflammation tends to slow the circulation through the lower extremities, and such osteopathic stimulation will make the body feel much better.
As to the compound for the tonic, this we would prepare in this way and manner in the present:
To 6 ounces of Garden Sage (dried), add 12 ounces of Distilled Water. Let this simmer until it has reduced to at least, when drained off, 6 1/2 ounces. Keep this warm and set aside.
Then prepare: To 1 ounce of Strained PURE Honey, add 2 ounces of Distilled Water. Let this come to a boil. Skim off the refuse. While warm add this to the other solution, or the Sage or Clary Water solution, see?
Dissolve 15 grains of Ambergris in 1 ounce of Pure Grain Alcohol. Have this thoroughly dissolved. Add this then to the other solution while warm, and stir.
Then, put 2 sticks of Cinnamon (good size Cinnamon sticks) in 6 ounces of Gordon's RE-DISTILLED Gin. Let this set for at least an hour.
Then add the other solution to the Gin, not the Gin to the other. That is, add the solution of the Sage, the Honey and the Ambergris, TO the Gin solution.
Shake this together and the dose will be a teaspoonful before each meal, and half a teaspoonful at bedtime.
We will find these also should work with that as has been given for the manipulative forces; as well as with this as a consistency for the diet:
Mornings - fruits, melons or peaches or berries. A little sugar, a little cream; not too much of the sugar but a little sugar to make it palatable; with a little brown bread and tea or coffee HOT - not too hot but hot, but WITHOUT cream!
Noons - vegetable stock, a little meat stock; not necessarily together, may be a combination of same or separately; and RAW vegetables.
Evenings - include fresh fish; not salt fish but fresh fish. The leafy vegetables; not too much of those, but the leafy vegetables rather than the pod or tuberous. Do not take too much of those such as dried beans or butterbeans or peas or of pod vegetables. Of course, tomatoes may be included in the evening meal, a little onion if desired, a little lettuce - all of these may be combined. And ESPECIALLY artichoke, preferably the Jerusalem artichoke; this not with vinegar, to be sure, but this should be taken - a little of it - for EVERY evening meal! This carries those properties that are as of an insulin reaction, that will produce a cleansing for the kidneys as well as producing the tendency for the reduction of the excess sugar that is indicated in the inflammation noted in blood tests in the present.
DO NOT give the injections of Insulin, but those properties as indicated that may act with same - as the Ambergris upon the activity of the digestive forces, especially the action of the liver, the kidneys, the pancreas, the spleen, WITH the activity from these combinations; and we would find bettered conditions.
These as we find would bring the better conditions, and - taking advantage of these changes - produce for THIS body of [480] near to normal forces of the body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Is it advisable for the body to be moved to her parents' home within the next few days?
(A) Not until at least ten or twelve days have elapsed from the experience, you see.
(Q) Has the massage of the mammary glands been done properly?
(A) As has been indicated, this is very well; and if there are the cares with the massage - that is, the rub with the compound - and the manipulations osteopathically as indicated, these will be well.
(Q) Is it advisable to take the blood test?
(A) If that's desired it may be taken. That is the experience, of course, for some - but if these conditions will be watched, and these directions followed, we will see the changes necessary for improvements.
(Q) Any other advice for the body?
(A) Keep in the attitudes of spiritual constructive forces. Know that the purposes of the divine with self are that there may be the greater opportunity for the expressing of the LOVE DIVINE that IS of the Father.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS

7/18/37 Phone request from [480] herself: "How is Mr. Cayce? I'm at Mother's now; getting on very well - the prescription hasn't come yet; we wired Snyder and he wired back it had been sent at one o'clock yesterday."
[480] ... Ave., Detroit, Mich. Questions:
1. Can diet be changed at this time to greater variety, to include milk, citrus fruits, cooked vegetables - and what kind? 2. May anything else be added to diet at this time? 3. How long should the present diet be continued? 4. Last urinalysis showed 1 plus sugar, no pus. Is this condition clearing up? 5. Please give exercise to be done as body is stronger. 6. Any special support to be worn now? 7. Are osteopathic treatments being given correctly? 8. Any change advised in osteopathic treatments? 9. Is it advisable for the body to take a trip East to the mountains around the first of August?
("We're planning to go to ..., N.Y. to visit Aunt [607]. Can you make an appointment for Aunt [1375] for Monday afternoon, the 26th? She is back home in Boston; Mother will make the arrangements with her to be at home, and send the questions; so you won't have to notify her. Give our love to everybody.")
