EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions as surround
same, [2357. Now, we find there are those conditions as
are abnormal for this body, and these may, in the correct
application of those conditions and elements necessary, be
brought to a much better and a nearer normal functioning of
this body. While conditions are aggravated at times, and
while seemingly there is little that may be accomplished in
the physical to correct some of the conditions that disturb
the body, there should first be gained the consciousness
by this body that there are those elements in the physical
condition of each body that will bring that for the physical
functioning of that body that necessary conditions for
the body to meet the needs of the body, in the physical,
then mental, the moral, and the spiritual welfare of the
conditions. Spirit is life, whether related to the physical
functioning of the atomic forces within the system or whether
that of the mental being of a body, and these must coordinate
in the proper direction one with another, just as much as it
is necessary for a physical functioning organ to coordinate
with the rest of the system. For instance, here, with this
body, there have been times when seemingly little or nothing
would be assimilated or digested by the body. The necessity
of assimilation is as much necessary as the desire for food;
for what profit it a body to desire to eat, will the food
eaten not assimilate and build that necessary for the
sustenance and replenishing of the physical body? There is
seen in the physical forces that there has existed, and does
exist, certain disturbances in the nervous system. These
have to do with both the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic
nerve system. In the physical functioning of a body, the
subligations or impingements of nerve or nerve plexuses, or
nerve branches, become a PHYSICAL action, and these in their
turn produced, or produce, physical results; while conditions
or disturbances in plexus that control, or are controlled by
certain reflexes from the cerebro-spinal to the sympathetic
system, may not so easily be directed by the removal of
pressure in a portion of the body. What is active upon
such conditions, then, that these may be aided? That of the
PHYSICAL is the vibratory rate at which the nerve functions
to produce coordination in the functioning of the system,
as related to the SENSORY organism or as is seen with this
body, there are disturbances in the functioning of ORGANS of
the sensory system. These organs possess, and have, their
individual machine apparatus for the functioning of the
system in the direction in which that organism or organ is
to function, or its own modus operandi is within itself a
portion of the whole, yet dependent upon the coordination
of both the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic to function in its
proper relation with that organ of the system, that that as
is assimilated, that as is builded in the system, may produce
that NECESSARY for the proper vibratory forces as to bring
the result of the condition desired, or, as in this case,
in the hearing, or as in the feeling. The auditory forces,
then, abnormal to the conditions as should be created in this
body here, [
2357] we are speaking of.
The same condition, as we find, conducive in the functioning
of the system as related to the capillary circulation, and
the eliminations as are created, or should nominally function
through same. Hence we have in various portions of the body,
not only the high nerve tension under which the system labors
at times, but also the resultant force of the activity in the
cuticle itself, or refuse forces setting up within themselves
those conditions as produce irritation in the exterior
portions of the body. The system attempting to adjust itself
to those impulses as are being created in the central nerve
system and the central organization of the body itself, in
ITS relation to ITS ability (the body) to create that as
is intimated, suggested, as is carried on in the physical
functioning. Now, wherein do these conditions, then, exist
that disturbance is caused? First we find there has existed
for times back those conditions as have been conducive to
that of a catarrhal, or congestion in the mucus membranes of
the body, as is seen in throat, bronchials, larynx, in the
throat itself, or about the thyroid glands, about all of
the functionings of the system. Production of this produced
by conditions existent in the physical nervous system,
or cerebro-spinal, that left a WEAKNESS for same; in the
blood supply those of conducive elements were the lack of
the proper distribution of forces as assimilated in the
system, or a lack of those elements necessary to create an
equilibrium in all forces of the nerve and blood system, or
specifically, an abnormal balance between those of the potash
producing elements and of the iodine producing elements,
bringing about, then, that lack of the blood cell itself
being properly adjusted for proper oxidization as would take
place throughout the system. Then pressure becoming existent
in the lower portion of body, in the upper lumbar and last
dorsal region, we have reflexes as have affected the lower
portion of the mesenteric system, and the gradual pressure
as was produced in same began to affect the activity of
the forces as related to spleen, and the hypogastric nerve
centers, which, in their turn, produce a pressure on the 3rd
and 2nd nerves of the face, which are directly in accord with
the activity of the auditory nerve system, or the hearing.
Then, the constant strain mentally and physically under
which the body has labored, has constantly brought about the
worry; and WORRY and fear, added to the elements, constantly
reduce the vitality of the blood supply to meet the needs
of the condition. Hence we find we have a combination of
conditions existent in the body.
To meet the needs, then, at the present: First we would add
these as the conditions through which the body will bring
itself, physically and mentally, in accord with that
necessary to bring better coordination through the body:
At least once each week the body would have SWEAT baths; that
is, those with such a cabinet that the heat from vapor may
act with the whole of the surface of the body itself. In
such vapor there should be carried to the pint of water at
least half a teaspoonful of Oil of Wintergreen. This will
act in the capacity of bringing to the capillary circulation
a different reaction. These, preferably then, we would see,
would be taken on Wednesday or Thursday evenings.
Following such a treatment, massage thoroughly into the
cerebro-spinal systems those properties of equal parts of
Olive Oil and Tincture of Myrrh - heating the oil and adding
the myrrh while hot, making only sufficient quantity to give
one treatment. These given only following the sweats or
baths taken AS sweats.
We would also add those vibrations of the gentle massage,
osteopathically given, over the whole system, at least three
times each week; ALSO massaging the Eustachian Tubes. These
at least once every TWO weeks. This will aid the system in
gaining a nearer normal equilibrium.
EACH day we would add those vibrations as would be found
in the Radio-Active Appliance that carries WITH same those
properties of Camphor in same. Ready for questions.
These applications of the Radio-Active Appliance should be as
the body lies down to rest of evenings, so that the slumber
is NOT disturbed so much. The nerve reactions will be proper
from such application. Attaching the applicator to the WRIST
and to the 9th dorsal plexus. This should be at least for
one HOUR each day. If the body sleeps with same, after the
third or fourth day, two or three hours will not be too much.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Any special diet?
(A) That easily assimilated, and - as is necessarily seen -
that which carries more of the iron and of the alkaline, and
of iodine. No proteins.
We are through with this reading.

Birmingham, Ala.
Mr. Edgar Cayce,
Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Mr. Cayce:-
Received your letter of inquiry, - as to results of treatment
outlined in your "reading," and appreciate cause.
Am taking three osteopathic treatments per week [from Percy
Woodall, D.O.], have taken eight thus far. Am just beginning
sweat baths. Have written to Thos. B. Brown in reference to
to Radio-Active Appliance, but haven't heard from him as yet.
Am SO ANXIOUS to improve, am trying to do my part in EVERY
WAY.
With best wishes to you and your institution.
Yours very sincerely, Mrs. [
