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

TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2278].
3. Now as we find, there are conditions the correction of which would allow for better physical activity through the system.
4. These as we find are rather a complication of disturbances. While the correction in some, and the improvement in the general health conditions will relieve most of the disturbances, this complication which attempts to set up activity in itself would need local attention also.
5. Then, these are conditions as we find them with this body, [2278] we are speaking of:
6. In the blood supply we find there are hindrances from a submerged condition, or a deep fold over the gall duct area. This lack of sufficient activity of the system in this duct - and the gall activity upon certain characters of foods that are at times taken by the body, and the general reaction from same - causes an impairment to the manner in which there is carried on the assimilations.
7. Thus we find a reflex action from this to the lower hepatic circulation.
8. Thus some disturbance to the complications arising from the sensory forces, particularly the eyes and the throat.
9. Through this same condition, then, we have some conditions that disturb through the lack of proper flow and activity in the thyroid system.
10. This also tends to cut off the circulation, or leaves an impaired circulation in eliminations, - from the organs of the sensory system; as well as through that same activity in this area, in the gall duct, - not gallstones, but as a granular, soft sediment in same, which causes the body to easily take cold - or the acids in the system to be predominant at times. Thus the body is subjected to this tendency for an increased DEEP circulation, and a coolness or coldness or slowed circulation through the lymph and superficial circulation.
11. Thus congestion is easily caused in the mucous membranes of the face, nasal passages, the throat and bronchi.
12. These as we find are the disturbing conditions, - while the complications come from this impaired condition having caused a direct influence upon the vagus center, and thus hindering supply to the optics, or optic nerves themselves.
13. We find that these conditions have not reached such serious disturbances, but with a continued lack of proper elimination, and a continued disturbance through the liver and gall duct, with the combinations that the acids produce in the system, there may be brought constitutional or deeper-seated and more far-reaching disturbances, - unless these are corrected.
14. Then, we would begin first with these, - continuing with those applications which have been and are being made for corrections of the nerve forces, as well as the general supply of circulatory forces for clarifying and strengthening the nerves and muscular forces for the sensory system, and eyes particularly:
15. Each day for five days we would apply the Castor Oil Packs over the liver and gall duct area. Have three thicknesses of flannel soaked in the Castor Oil, not just the Oil poured on. Apply this directly to the body, as warm as can be well stood; and then - after padding - apply the electric pad to keep same warm for an hour.
16. On the evening of the fifth day of taking the Packs, we would take internally two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil; lying upon the right side with a pillow under the gall duct or liver area, to assist in draining this area.
17. Then the next day, or day after, have a high colonic irrigation to purify or cleanse the whole of the colon from all of the refuse forces stirred up by the activity of this absorption and the conditions created by the Oil.
18. We would begin then almost immediately, or the day after, with osteopathic adjustments; with particular reference to stimulating the glands about the throat and head and neck, as to the drainage.
19. Also, - though not even attempted at the first or even the second treatment, - we would gradually empty the gall duct, osteopathically; stimulating at such treatments the 9th dorsal to the end of the spine, through such periods.
20. After some ten or twelve such adjustments, if there is a recurrence of the nausea, the headaches or the pains even through the throat, - take a series of the ENO SALTS; each morning a teaspoonful in a full glass of water. This as we find should flush the system.
21. Then, in the diets:
22. Refrain from any fried foods at all.
23. Take plenty of citrus fruit juices, but not at the same meal with cereals.
24. Take plenty of raw carrot juice. This as we find is a stimulation for better eliminations, as well as a certain strengthening that comes to the system from the amounts of the B and B-1 vitamins obtained from taking at least half an ounce of the carrot juice once each day.
25. As to meats, - fish, fowl and lamb are preferable.
26. Plenty of vegetables.
27. Do these, and we will find near to normal conditions for this body, - if these are adhered to, consistently, persistently.
28. Ready for questions.
29. (Q) Any other treatment for eyes?
    (A) Only the stimulation from the osteopathic adjustments, with the treatments for the throat, head and neck.
30. (Q) Shall I continue with my treatment of allergies?
    (A) These as we find will not be found necessary if those conditions existent in the present are eliminated; for the body will not find itself allergic to as many variations as disturb the mucous membranes of face, throat and head.
31. (Q) Any appendix difficulties?
    (A) Only a sympathetic condition, as yet. Rather the involvement, as we have indicated, in the gall duct and the liver area.
32. (Q) Any other internal development?
    (A) These as we have suggested, with the adjustments of these conditions through the channels or means indicated, would correct most other disturbances - save the completion with the eyes, which as we have indicated should be carried on, with the addition of those other adjustments that should go with same.
33. We are through for the present.
