In the NERVOUS SYSTEM, or SYSTEMS, we find rather what may
have been, must have been (from the conditions), that of the
primary or first causes; for there are evidences of there
having been in the lower dorsal area those of the form of
lesions that made for the tendency of the DROPPING of the
whole of the DIGESTIVE organism. Hence a prolapsus in the
colon area (ascending) made for that which was of the nature
of colitis in its form, or congestion of the muco-membrane,
and an indication of engorgement in the intestine itself.
This produced by pressure in the solar plexus center, see -
in the 10th and 11th dorsal area, or lower portion of the
solar plexus center; that is, from the cerebro-spinal
connection - see? This, then, brought about first that
tendency of the lack of impulse for peristaltic movement of
fecal matter through the matter, and the clogging up of the
system in the area. Following this with engorgements, or
tendencies to force or produce through the lymph circulation
that of an excess of matter to reduce or carry out the
disorders produced a form of laziness, or slackness, in the
wall of the intestines or colon itself. Hence a specific
condition of two natures existed. One has been greatly
relieved by the removing of the pressure in the
cerebro-spinal area, so that this does not occur so often;
yet there are those tendencies still left in the nervous
system - see? By the whole plexus, or the whole ganglia, not
being fully awakened through the stimuli of impulse in the
area to carry on its functioning, when overtaxation mentally,
physically, or FOODS of the value that do not digest
properly, producing improper fermentation. Hence the
regurgitation, or the carrying into the circulation those
indications as outlined.
In the activities of the ORGANS THEMSELVES:
Brain forces of the body VERY good; exceptional in the
ability of separation of thought, the ability to concentrate
and to MEDITATE - as it were - in a given direction. This
WELL, provided there can be still kept within the
consciousness, or implanted upon the subconscious or
unconscious consciousness of the body, that even to the
superconscious forces, that all energies of the body ARE ONE;
being made up OF all that is without self and - atomic in its
nature - IS, CAN be, and WILL be, affected by IMPULSES from
without, as WELL as from within, and that in seeing the
activities taking place WITHIN the body often by the
application of MATERIAL measures add to the MATERIAL
CONDITIONS WITHIN A PHYSICAL BODY! Get the differentiations
and their proper relations and coordinations, and we will
find these may be very effective in the system; that while
there are those applications necessary that there be carried
on the spiritual and mental healing within the body, yet
these that are of a physical impulse must be met with
physical activities originating FROM the spiritual - see?
There are, then, in the activities of the organs themselves,
attunements that are above the ordinary; in the action of the
sympathetic system do we find these the most acute, in that
the abilities of the body in these directions as has been
outlined ENABLE the body to become rather super-sensitive,
with the abilities often to see for self and for the others
(the more often) those conditions as WILL, and DO, take place
in the activities of individuals, whether physical OR mental;
and hence the body is highly psychic in its reaction. This
may be cultivated and used. USE, but PLEASE do not abuse!
In the organs of the throat, bronchi, lungs and larynx: At
times there are those tendencies from those pressures that
have existed along the cerebro-spinal system, especially from
those subligations or pressures that have existed in the
lumbar region, to the reflex reaction in the upper dorsal and
cervical regions, as these direct more to the central nerve
forces and central blood supply of the body. Hence we have
tickling or burning in the throat at times. These may
precede, or these may follow, those of special disorders in
the colon or digestive system. This is naturally, then,
sympathetic - not organic, but with the corrections of the
conditions for normalcy in system, we would find these would
disappear.
Heart's action near normal, save when these depressions
arise, when these may at times be subnormal and again
abnormal in pulsation.
Digestive system rather that that may be termed NERVOUS
indigestion, occurs at times. The body should never EAT when
excited, and especially never when mad; for these, with such
a sympathetic condition, will produce disorders that make for
bad reactions in the system.
The liver, the spleen and pancreas function rather under the
orders, as it were, of the nervous system, both as to
consciously and subconsciously, or sympathetically and
consciously.
In the removing, then, of the disorders, as we would find,
from this system:
We would find that while there are the greater portions of
the pressures removed, through those applications as have
been made, these taken occasionally in the form of a thorough
massage - either neuropathically or osteopathically - will
keep ATTUNED the nervous forces as they DIRECT the
functioning OF the system.
We would keep those exercises, and ESPECIALLY those that tend
to raise the abdomen and portions of the system upward; which
is bending forward with the feet firm on the floor - see?
We would also find that with the use of that effluvia as in
those that will CLEANSE the colon, without distending and
without removing those tendencies for activity of the muscles
of same, or the peristaltic movement, these would be well.
Hence we will find that would the body use those of the
Psyllium seeds, these would be well.
Also when disorders arise we would take as these:
Pure olive oil, very small quantities taken often, for two or
three days - half to quarter teaspoonful every two hours for
a couple of days, see?
When there are other disorders, WORK it off by exercise
mentally. Keep the attunement to the spiritual forces, for
it is the SPIRIT that gives life - but life in a physical
functioning is of physical reaction.
Ready for questions.
(Q) How often should the Psyllium seed be taken?
(A) Once a day for three or four days; then quit the same
length of time, until the whole of the system is adjusted -
see?
(Q) How often the osteopathic or massage treatment?
(A) This would be taken rather when necessary. When there
is a tendency of a dull headache at base of brain, or to the
front of head, this would be well to be taken. Once a week,
or twice a month - if THOROUGHLY done.
Keep the MEDITATIONS. These we would do preferably early
morning and late evening, or in the noon hour - as has been
in some periods.
(Q) Did a treatment I had for colitis 3 or 4 years ago have
a real and lasting beneficial effect?
(A) As has been indicated, the greater portion has been
removed; yet those tendencies that exist in and through the
prolapsus in ascending colon, and those arising from those
pressures as existed in the cerebro-spinal system, have NOT
entirely been removed. Hence the necessity of application of
some PHYSICAL as well as MENTAL treatments for the body.
Do that.
That is all the questions.
We are through for the present. Much may be accomplished by
this body through its intuition.

BACKGROUND
2/12/32 Mother-in-law's letter: "Let me know what
information you wish me to send you in regard to the
condition of a patient - that is, as she sees it through the
eyes of the different doctors who have prescribed for her for
over ten years."
2/29/32 Patient submitted questions: In regard to questions:
1. Did a treatment that I had for colitis, 3 or 4 years ago,
have a real and lasting beneficial effect?
2. Will it be better for me to combine osteopathic treatment,
special physical exercises, etc. with my efforts along mental
and spiritual lines, or to omit the physical side?
Thanking you. I am sincerely yours,
3/02/32 Mr. [
333]'s letter: "They tell us that they first
heard of you through a Mr. Hawkins of Garden City, who is
acquainted with Mr. [
257]."

Mr. Edgar Cayce.
Dear Mr. Cayce,
I have tried to see Mr. [
333] and Mrs. [...] but have been
unable to find them at home. Will see them eventually.
Your reading was very satisfactory. Confirming what I have
been told by several New York specialists. Also I am very
glad to know that my efforts to regain health, in the last
two years, have been in the right direction.
I am following your suggestions, in which I have faith; and I
feel that I am improving.
I am very grateful to you for your interest and the help that
you have given me.
THANK you.
Yours sincerely [
