Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. [972]'s mother, and Flora Taylor.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [972].
2. As we find, there are disturbing conditions in the better physical forces of the body; producing an incoordination for the mental forces as well as the activities through the physical body.
3. While we find these have been serious, and are as yet, there is a response to the quieting of the body in the nerve reactions. Hence there are some better responses than there have been in the system.
4. Then, these are the conditions as we find them with this body, [972] we are speaking of:
5. The BLOOD SUPPLY shows indications of a disturbance in the katabolism. Hence in the flow there is carried those things that make for irritations to the nerve forces and nerve centers of the body. So, at times there is very much of a change in the pulsation or the MANNER in which the flow is indicated or carried through portions of the system.
6. That which produces such irritation to the blood flow is from repressions that have existed in the system through the lack of activity in glands; that have been repressed through a portion of the body, showing the lack of proper distribution of that assimilated.
7. This produces the arising of temperature, because the white blood and the cellular forces that form to make the corpuscles do not form a proper coagulations.
8. Hence we have a form of LACK of proper coagulations, producing to the using of glands, to the using of organs in their functioning, the lack of that necessary to coordinate impulses between the vegetative or sympathetic nerve force and the cerebrospinal system. Thus as improper reaction is produced to the brain forces themselves, that should make distribution of proper impulses as related to the physical reactions.
9. Hence the NERVOUS FORCES show a breakdown in their coordinations in centers, and become as possessed with determinations in this or that direction as to its activity.
10. These arise, as we have indicated, from repressions which arose from PHYSICAL conditions in the body.
11. In the functioning of the ORGANS themselves, we find the reactions indicated in the sensory and nerve forces as they react to impulses; as of distraughtness in their activity, over desires in some directions, lack of coordinations in other directions; though the organs of the sensory system are not ORGANICALLY affected except that they become sympathetically involved.
12. Lungs, bronchi and larynx show the repression in the circulatory forces.
13. The digestive activity indicates, as given, too great an extravagance in some directions and lack of coordination in others.
14. Through those repressions that exist in the coordination between the lower lumbar plexus, the solar plexus and the brachial plexus, there are subluxations or impingements that exist in the three centers especially as we have indicated that make for this reaction which has occurred in the body.
15. Rest, quiet, is necessary.
16. We would make corrections in the specific centers as indicated.
17. And we would use less and less of those things that are of a sedative nature.
18. But we would use more and more that which will bring about the coordinating influence between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal nervous replenishing forces. This may be had from the low electrical vibrations that would carry Gold into the system, with the correspondent reactions in the spinal corrections as indicated.
19. In the diets we would carry more elements of calcium to react to the glands, and potassiums.
20. These, as we find, would bring gradually the nearer normal condition for this body.
21. So these, then, we would do:
22. First, we would - of course - keep those surroundings in the present. Keep those quietudes about the body, with as much activity in the open as may be had under the proper conditions.
23. Make the diets carry those elements as indicated.
24. Have at least each day, or every other day, a correction in specific centers indicated; chiropractically or osteopathically, in the 4th lumbar, the 9th dorsal, the 3rd dorsal, coordinating - to be sure - the vagus centers and the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus.
25. Each day make an application of the Wet Appliance carrying the Gold. The first pole attached would be the copper plate, to the brachial plexus center - or to stimulate the activity through the aorta artery and the central nervous forces to the activity of the heart itself. The other plate or anode, passing through the Gold solution, would be attached last; over the umbilicii and lacteal duct center.
26. Apply this for twenty to thirty minutes EACH time the adjustments are made - or each day.
27. Ready for questions.
28. (Q) What is the cause of his condition?
    (A) A glandular condition produced by a lesion that affects the system from the lumbar plexus, the 9th dorsal plexus, the brachial center. Hence this irritation that occurs makes for periods when repression and overactivity is indicated in the MENTAL and physical process.
29. (Q) What brought about this glandular condition and pressure?
    (A) From an adhesion or lesion that has occurred in the right side.
30. (Q) Can it be overcome?
    (A) As indicated. The condition is somewhat improved. The applications as we have suggested would only hasten the improvement; also supply the necessary elements and influences for the rejuvenation and resuscitating of those disturbed centers in the system.
31. (Q) What particular part of his body is the seat of the trouble?
    (A) As indicated. The condition first was an adhesion in the right side - lacteal duct area; from an injury from the outside, and those influences from the inside made for a strain upon the system. These have drawn the body so as to make the subluxations in the areas indicated.
32. (Q) Would it be advisable to change his place or mode of treatment?
    (A) As we have given, there are betterments - under the present environs. If there could be such changes or alterations as to include these things suggested, we find that the improvement would not only be hastened but there would be insured the proper correction.
33. (Q) Would it be well for him to see members of his family?
    (A) There are periods and times when it is well. There are other periods, of course, when it makes for too great an excitement. If the proper periods are chosen, it is well.
34. (Q) In his present environ would it be possible to add this treatment?
    (A) If there are the approaches to some of those sympathetic conditions that have been maintained through associates in the institution, these additional suggestions might be carried out; especially if the approach is through one such as - whose name we find indicated is - Givins (?) or Golden (?).
35. Do these things, if we would make for the better conditions.
36. And, most of all, let the Creative Forces be called upon, through those channels that make for intercession, as it were, through creating the proper atmosphere in prayer and meditation.
37. This, necessarily, would be through those most anxious concerning the condition and its outcome.
38. We are through for the present.
