TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, the abnormal conditions as we find in this body are many. They are produced by deficient conditions that arise from a specific cause or condition within the body and then causes other conditions that have arisen both in the functioning of organs in their elimination and by excess of functioning of other portions of the body with the improper functioning of some of the organs in the system.
Now, these are conditions as we find in this body, [2257] we are speaking of: The blood supply we find there is an over-abundance of the blood forces in this system and, especially, an over-abundance of the lymph force that is carried both in the lymphatic circulation and its supply to portions of the body by the regular or by the blood's circulation in its elemental force, and the effect that this produces to the muscles and the nerve centers along the whole length of the spinal column have to do with its effect in an over-stimulus in blood circulation to the brain force and to the nerve proper, making them through the circulation surcharged the nerve forces to produce the condition that acts in those, in the nerves at times, you see, that is, we have an inter-mingled condition arising from nerve and blood supply in the body. The body remains over-charged with those forces that prevent the action of nerve center.
In the nervous system itself, we find about the 9th and 10th dorsal here, the body has received an accident to the body itself, that has been the cause of much of the conditions in the system, the impinionment then of these has produced the lesions along the spine, causing the contraction of the nerve forces that has caused enlarging even of the muscular forces about the upper dorsal and the cervical region. The effect that has been produced to the functioning organs produce much of the disturbance through the system, such as we see in the effect produced through the locomotories, through the organs governed by the sacral plexus and to the portions of the body that are affected by this, so that the body at times, looses control, as it were, or the functioning of the organs of this portion of the body when it affects the system all over, you see.
The organs in functioning themselves, we find have been controlled by astringents to the nerve conditions, yet they function within themselves rather to a normal force throughout the whole system, save when they become under the control of the cerebro spinal organism. The normal functioning of organs or of all the system, that is, of involuntary force, we find only in accord with the cerebro spinal and work through the functioning of the sympathetic system, so to reach the conditions within this body and to be of assistance to being the normal forces to this body, we will have a deep seated trouble and condition to combat, therefore, it will be rather prolonged by of assistance to the body throughout, as applied in the manner as is given here:
First, we would have the body to use almost altogether as drinking water that of a weak solution of May Pop, see, or of the extract made from this, see. The doses would be half teaspoonful in glass of water, full glass of water, three to five times each day, see. We would apply each evening along the whole length of the spinal column, very cold applications and rub the body well with these until the circulation is caused, along the whole length of the spine, to be centered about each segment and nerve center, see. To produce the co-ordinating forces or to allow the better forces of the sympathetic to assist with the reasoning force through the cerebro spinal nerve centers. This would be used in evening and for fifteen to twenty minutes each evening, see. The body should be dieted to prevent the conditions of overstimulus through the digestive tract, see. This diet should be of no meats but much of salines, much salt in everything, see, to the body until we have a reaction from those forces created in the system and of the salines vibrating in the blood supplying force. After these have been kept up for several weeks, then we would give this into the system.
This should be shaken well before each dose is taken, should be taken every three hours, while the body is awake, of course, not awake it to give the medicinal properties. Keep the intestinal tract well open through all of these, see. Follow these as we have outlined, persistently. Keep it all times, the water as we have given and the exercises and the cold applications to the spine and the medicinal properties followed after three weeks, see. Do that.
(Q) When did the body have the accident to the spine?
(A) This as we find has been corrected. The relation or the lesion still remains, see. This was in times back, see.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, the body wants to know how long a time it would be before it would show improvement.
(A) By the time he begins the medicinal properties in the system, save the action of the drinking water, which carries the medicinal properties also, to the nerve and blood forces, see.
(Q) With the treatment followed as you have given, how long a time will it take for the body to show improvement?
(A) There are to be actions and reactions in the system as to persistency as to how soon and how long this will be given to this body, you see.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, how long will it be until this body can rest better at night?
(A) From the beginning of the applications to the spine.
(Q) No other recommendations to be made for this body, Mr. Cayce?
(A) Follow this as we have given at present, you see.
(Q) What would be the dose for the medicinal properties you prescribed for every three hours?
(A) Teaspoonful.
(Q) The body wants to know whether he must stay in bed or can about?
(A) Follow these treatments for the body and it will make the physical feel like staying in bed, but is best to move about. Do not over-tax itself, though.
