TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. (Give special attention to the asthmatic condition). Now we find there are some abnormal conditions in this body that produce the asthmatic condition, and we have the effect that this condition has produced within this system. The affect is to the nerve forces, the functioning of the organs, the lungs themselves and bronchials and the effect produced in the circulation.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [2245], we are speaking of here in this room: In the circulation the blood supply we find the body very well balanced in the circulation, though the effect as produced in the circulation shows the distress rather of portions of the circulation at times and the effect the circulation produces on the heart action proper, though not an organic condition, either of blood or heart action as yet, see.
3. The nervous forces in the system are very good, though the abnormal condition produced in the body giving the predisposition to the system here we find at the 6th and 8th dorsal the lesion that has caused the change in flow of blood to the lungs proper, especially, if the body is reclining, see. This lesion we find is of the lateral nature and was produced by some accident to the body, apparently in a fall or wrench, see.
4. The condition of the organs themselves through the action of the sensory organism we find from this same strain to the system, they have been affected more than at present, for with the natural conditions being attempted to be adjusted in the system the body gradually grew to better use of these organs, as the cycles developed in the system, but has left the effect to the secondary cardiac plexus that gives the expression to the lungs, the larynx in the blood flow and causes, with the action of the nerves, the spasmodic condition of the lungs themselves in their functioning, so that the blood supply in an entrance to the lungs produces the pressure on the larynx as to give the higher flow of blood on account of the pressure on the nerves of the cardiac plexus and secondary plexus.
5. To give the relief for this condition in this body we would use the electric driven vibrator along the dorsal and cervical region of the body from the first cervical to the twelfth dorsal, with especial deep manipulation along the region of the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th dorsal on either side, see. This should be taken each evening for five to ten minutes time. For the local condition of the bronchials and larynx, use this as an inhalant:
6. To 4 ounces of pure grain alcohol, add:

   Eucalyptus Oil..............20 minims,
Benzosol.....................5 minims,
Canadian Balsam..............5 minims,
Oil of White Pine............5 minims.

   This is to be shaken well when used and at times, heated so evaporation will take place faster. The fumes are to be inhaled through the mouth, not taken internally. Do that and with the vibration we will find we will relieve entirely this condition. Beware of eating sweets while this is being taken - not meats much at any time and never hog meat or pork. Do that, [2245] here in this room.
7. (Q) Mr. Cayce, when did [2245] have the fall that caused the asthmatic condition?
   (A) The asthmatic condition has been the development from the condition the fall produced, which was when the body was about five or six years old, you see.
8. (Q) Mr. Cayce, please give special attention to her eyes.
   (A) We have given these conditions, see. With the correction of the condition producing the strain to all of the organs of the sensory system and the relieving of the pressure causing the condition through the lungs, we will improve all of this condition in this body, [2245]. Do that as we have given if we would correct this condition.
9. (Q) How often should this body inhale these fumes, Mr. Cayce?
   (A) As often as necessary to relieve the condition. When they present themselves, that is, the condition, inhale the fumes and it will relieve. With the vibrations we will gradually remove that which will produce the condition, see.
10. (Q) How long will it take her to get permanent relief, if this treatment is followed out as prescribed, Mr. Cayce?
    (A) Three to four moons.
11. (Q) Have you anything further just now to say on this case, Mr. Cayce?
    (A) Do that as we have given for this condition.
