Kahn, 20 Woods Lane, Scarsdale, N.Y., this 12th day of November, 1936, in accordance with request made by the friend - Mrs. [1315], through Active Membership of her husband in the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., Virginia Beach, Va.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Lucille Kahn.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1082].
2. In the present we find quite a difference in the conditions, in the attitudes, from that we have had before. In the present it is passive, for it is almost resting. While under some influence of sedative nature, it is passive rather than resenting. For these were in a different form, as we had before.
3. The conditions as we find, while changes have come, have not all been for the better. While improvements have been indicated in some directions, the cause or the basis of the disturbance has not been eliminated or even touched upon; only the effects have been aided at times.
4. THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this indicates there is not only a toxic condition from the lack of proper eliminations, but as combined with same the effect of hindrances in circulation for proper coagulation through inflammatory conditions indicated in the blood flow - or the cellular forces themselves. Also that the condition arises from that where portions of the system separate to produce growths, or a growth, in the membranes of the body itself.
5. Hence there are those conditions in the blood flow of this drawing upon the system for the individual sustenance, thus producing great pain at times, inability of activity or locomotion by the very pressure produced upon the mucous membranes of the system; so that the lower circulation, through the lower extremities, becomes very much lower and slower than through torso or trunk portion of the body.
6. THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, we find this is involved in the disturbance through the pressures and through impulses as indicated in portions of the lower lumbar nerve plexus, especially. This then indicates a portion of the system through which the greater disturbance arises.
7. As we find, while the growths have become deep-seated, these are not necessarily of the malignant nature. While they take hold upon the deeper tissues, these are rather the effect of irritation than of the growth or the separated portions becoming as those that are of the nature entirely of malignant conditions.
8. Though operative forces as we find in the present would require, for the removal of same, especially under the existent conditions in the blood stream which have been given (and portions of same in detail), such incisions as would cause in the healing (of such a slow nature) the scar tissue that would produce a worse condition in the ability of control either of eliminations from the organs of the pelvis as a whole or in the alimentary canal.
9. Hence as we would find, the conditions or applications that are of the nature that are changing or able to change the vibratory forces of the body would be the preferable applications for the body.
10. Not the high electrical vibration that is tended to destroy tissue by its high vibratory rate, but rather the low vibratory forces; as we would find that may be used from the Edelman Vibrator from the B-Battery Appliance, using a rectal applicator, and using same each day for twenty to thirty minutes. Use the SMALL applicator, NOT the large. This should be extended into the rectum at least to the lower portion of the second sphincter muscular forces. Use the Appliance, the low electrical vibrations, and the rectal applicator, at least twenty minutes each day.
11. Then prepare the body also through the administration of internal applications that make or produce for the nerve and blood supply, through the assimilating forces of the body, those influences that would work with those vibrations as set up in the vibratory forces from the low electrical vibrations. Hence we would prepare in this manner a compound to be taken internally:
12. To 2 ounces of Strained Pure Honey add 1 ounce of Distilled Water. Let this come to a boil; not boil long, just sufficient to skim off the impurities in same. Take this off and then when cool, to this as the carrier, add - in the ORDER named:

    Grain Alcohol, 85% pure............1/2 ounce,
Oil of Eucalyptus...................10 minims,
Compound Tincture of Benzoin.......1/4 ounce,
Oil of Pine Needles.................20 minims.

    Shake well before the dose is taken. Take a teaspoonful about four hours apart.
13. While this will create at times a burning in the stomach itself, this will act upon the gastric juices; and when it does produce burning use a little Milk of Bismuth to produce for the digestive and gastric forces the tendencies to absorb from the system the inflammatory conditions. And this absorption as well as the active forces of the properties upon the system will cleanse the alimentary canal of those strainings, those inflammatory forces and influences. The dosage of the Milk of Bismuth would be half a teaspoonful in half a glass of water. This only taken when there are those inclinations of a burning in the stomach or in the lower portion of the duodenum so as to become disturbing to the body. And this would only be about once, perhaps twice a day - and not oftener than twice.
14. The absorption and drainage produced through these will necessitate that there be used very precautiously the eliminations through enemas. Use Baking Soda in the water for the enemas. Not the hydrated Sal-Soda but Baking Soda. Even with its impurities (of some natures), it is preferable to prevent the inflammatory forces through the acidity of inflammatory conditions from toxic forces in this portion of the body. Use a level teaspoonful of the Baking Soda to the quart of water; having the water the temperature of the body itself.
15. Keep to the diets much in the way and manner as have been outlined for the body, under the present ministrations.
16. These as we find, with rubs of oil - equal portions of Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh - across the lower portions of the abdomen, across the sacral and especially throughout the limbs to keep the circulation aided, will bring the better conditions for this body, [1082].
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) What is the condition of the rectum?
    (A) As indicated, there are engorgements or enlarged conditions in the folds of the gland, produced by irritations and the use of astringents that were harmful.
19. (Q) Would an operation paralyze the rectum muscles?
    (A) Such measures would be more severe, and if treated with the HIGHER vibratory forces MUST produce a more SEVERE condition.
20. (Q) Should the treatment she is now using be continued?
    (A) We would rather change to these, as has been given.
21. (Q) Will she get at the root of all the pus, by following these?
    (A) It will not only get at the root but should eliminate the disturbance if carried properly.
    The internal conditions are to work with the vibrations set up in the body by the low electrical forces; absorbing and eliminating through the respiratory system, the perspiratory system and - naturally - the alimentary canal; aiding in assisting the hepatic circulation in all of the phases of activity, either through the kidneys or the bladder as well as through the alimentary canal, in throwing OFF that which is assimilated sufficiently, without producing irritation or infectious forces in other portions of the body.
22. (Q) Any mental or spiritual advice for the body?
    (A) Keep FROM the hypnotics or narcotics as much as possible, for these tend to produce a reaction to the whole of the eliminating system that clogs rather than clears. Hence those properties suggested here to be taken internally are given as those influences that will overcome these inclinations. When the pains become TOO severe, use a hypnotic rather than narcotic; but get away from these as speedily as possible, not to cause too great a distress.
    Let the mental forces know, not only that there may be help by following these things suggested but that the source of all healing comes from within. These are not curatives that are indicated; they are to PREPARE the body that the cure may be produced BY the activity of the system itself! For it is in its very nature CREATIVE! Give it the opportunity to create, to reproduce CONSTRUCTIVE forces; physically, mentally. These arise from the spiritual forces within the body itself.
23. We are through for the present.
