TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find there are, though the body is very good in most respects, some abnormal conditions in the physical forces in this body. They have to do with the nerve forces, the supplying of nutriment to some of the organs of the system and in their functioning and becomes rather a functional condition than that of organic forces, except as sympathetically affected, see.
2. Now these are conditions as we find them in this body: First, in the blood supply we find the tendency of a enematized [an anemiatised] condition produced by the overtaxed forces in the system that go to make up the elemental forces in supplying to the body for the condition as exists through the upper portion of the lungs and throat, you see. We find the blood itself below the normal in the elemental forces as in the hemoglobin. That which gives the rebuilding force to the body to replenish in the system is taken by the forces in giving destructive forces to those bacilli that attack the system, and we have some effects from this shown in the capillary circulation. In the white blood supply the locosite [leukocyte] forces are above the normal, see, hence with this condition we find how the effect is produced in the secretive forces in the body.
3. In the nerve system we find as this condition: About the second lumbar there is a lesion that has produced the condition as affects that through the locomotories, and the overtaxed forces that come to the body above the dorsal region [and] is of the reflex force as given here, you see. The cerebrospinal forces being supplied through the action of the solar plexus gives off to the system those of the forces as show in the condition of the lung and larynx. The sensory organism being involved through this same condition prevents with the condition of the blood supply to give the proper incentive to the organs of the sensory system, hence the effect as shown in this reaction.
4. In the functioning of the organs themselves, the brain forces, very good with the action of all of the sympathetics being in predominance or above the normal force. In the lung forces, themselves, we find, with the condition of blood force, the reaction as shown in the condition as expresses itself there from the bacilli as carried in this portion of the body, it being the reflex rather than organic condition. That through the intestinal tract is produced by the action of the digestive forces being overtaxed by the nerve condition in the body and as produced in the system by the action of the vibrations being out of accord, produced by the lesion, first in the second lumbar region, see. Through the organs of the pelvic region we find the reflex forces from this same condition as also affects the condition in the locomotories or those of the upper portion of the body, see.
5. To give this body the correct incentive to overcome this condition and the effect this has produced in the system, we would, first with the heat and osteopathic forces, adjust the conditions we find in the lumbar region, then take into the system as an inhalant for the recuperative elements for the blood supply, this, see:
   To 4 ounces Grain Alcohol, add:

   Eucalyptol Oil.................20 minims,
Benzosol.......................10 minims,
Canadian Balsam................10 minims.

   This would only be used as an inhalant to the lung forces to affect the blood supply in the system, see, and would be taken each evening, see - a quantity poured from this solution and heated and the vapor arising from this, inhale, see. Use the whole quantity, see. This is not taken until the condition is corrected in the physical forces in the lumbar region, see, second lumbar, circle lesion [circular lesion].
6. The vibrations of the electric forces will do well to rejuvenate the whole system. Do that, [3853], ..., Ohio.
7. (Q) How long will it take this body to correct itself, Mr. Cayce?
   (A) The first is from physical forces from three to five weeks. The next is from one to two moons, see.
8. (Q) How long is a moon, Mr. Cayce?
   (A) As this time here, twenty eight days.
9. (Q) How often should this body inhale the preparations just given?
   (A) We have just given that.
10. (Q) What is the condition of the mental body, Mr. Cayce?
    (A) With the nerve forces and the reflex we find the body over-sympathetic, in its mental forces. Correct the conditions that make the strain on all of the nerve forces and gave the perfect balance in the system. Mental forces, very good in that connection.
11. (Q) How does the physical body show its abnormal condition?
    (A) In and through the manifestation of its organs as we have just given, see. They will not always manifest the same way.
12. (Q) Does the body have pains?
    (A) Complains of in various places, as we have outlined, across the hips at times, through the region of the 5th cervical and through the head at times and eyes and ears. Reflexes from the sensory vibrations.
13. (Q) What was the original cause of this condition?
    (A) Through the lacerations of child birth here, you see.
14. (Q) What happened at that time, Mr. Cayce?
    (A) The lacerations as produced in the system here, and the reaction and the forcing of the forceps here, you see, produced this condition.
15. (Q) Was the child birth natural?
    (A) Not normal.
16. (Q) Will the body be able to overcome all the conditions?
    (A) Just as we have given.
17. (Q) What is the body doing right now, Mr. Cayce?
    (A) Sitting in edge of window here. Quarter of twelve o'clock.
18. (Q) Is she alone?
    (A) We have only this body.
19. (Q) Is she downstairs or upstairs, Mr. Cayce?
    (A) Down. We are through.
