TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, the abnormal condition in this body from the pathological standpoint, is very interesting and may be, with the proper care, brought under subjugation and given the correct incentives to function perfectly throughout the body. The abnormal conditions have to do with the circulation in its course through the system. The weakened condition in the tissue of the body are from prenatal conditions and have been aggravated rather than assisted as the body has developed through the various cycles so far of the physical body, see.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body here: In the circulation we find two conditions existing that combat with each other. The blood itself carries much of the force that should be eliminated through the portions of the body other than the cuticle or respiratory system, hence we have with the predisposition formed in the veins of the capillary circulation, the overtaxed condition as is presented to the system, see. This then is the weakening of the cells of the tissue itself over the whole system and rather than being that of organic condition, is the improper functioning of the organs and the effect this has produced in the system, the blood carrying the pigment, the color, the dross in its capillary circulation rather than in the hepatic circulation, the hepatics becoming just the opposite and carry at the present time the lighter blood flow, and would, under the biological examination, present the clarified condition that should be presented by that of the net work of circulation as shown in capillary distribution in the system. The blood itself being very good, its mode of circulation being rather disturbed. There are bacilli carried in the circulation, that of the streptococcus variety. This shows in the capillary rather than the hepatics, see. Through the numbers of the corpuscle circulation we find the body very good. The lymphatic is overcharged with the cells of the forces necessary to produce or carry on the circulation through the capillaries, hence the condition as presented under the skin itself and the gathering of the tissue into globules and presenting the same condition to the surface. The nerve forces in the system are very good, overstrained by the condition as produced in the body. In some portions we find the effect is to the various organs in their functioning, and we have a nerve temperament in the action of the system, see, whether of the mental, spiritual or physical action becomes temperament by the reaction of the condition over the body, [3880] we are speaking of.
3. Through the functioning of the organs themselves we find the body is very good in the present condition. We only need to give the correct incentive to the whole system to change the action of elimination and assimilation in the body, see. It will, of necessity, be slow, and one must be very persistent for with the change the body will be rendered one of uneasiness or distress, see, yet the reaction must come if it would be corrected in this system, for with the change of circulation in the hepatics and the liver and kidneys, there will be the reaction over the whole system, for the liver and kidneys only act functionally at present and not as organs conducting the office of the condition they should in this system, see.
4. To correct this condition, we would take into the system, this:
5. To one gallon of rain water, add:

   Wild Cherry Bark................4 ounces,
Black Haw Bark..................2 ounces,
Dogwood Bark....................2 ounces,
Prickly Ash Bark................2 ounces,
Elder Flower....................4 ounces.

6. This would be reduced by simmering, not boiling, to one quart, strain, while warm add 6 ounces of grain alcohol with 2 drams of Balm of Gilead cut in it. The dose would be two teaspoonsful three times each day. Each evening the body should take at least twenty to thirty minutes vapor baths and have the medicinal properties as taken exuded through the system, drinking plenty of water, all that is best for the body, just before the vapor bath is taken, see. The diet for the body shall be only those of vegetable matter and only those that grow above the ground, see. With the taking of the first quantity of these properties then would be changed to take this, see:

   Tincture of Valerian............4 ounces,
Iodide of Potassium.............5 grains,
Elixir Calisaya.................2 ounces,
Capsicum........................2 grains,

   sufficient simple syrup to make eleven ounces. The dose would be tablespoonful morning and evening and then the electric vibrations from the violet ray, when this is being taken, see. Do that. [3880].
7. (Q) Mr. Cayce, what about the correction of the eyes in this body?
   (A) We have just given the action of the circulation with the poisons carried in the system affect the nervous system, especially, the sensory system, see. With the correction of that producing the trouble we will bring about the better condition to all of the system, see. Do as we have given. What we have given includes all necessary. Do that.
8. (Q) Mr. Cayce, this treatment you have given, [3880], would it apply to his brother, [...], who is in this room?
   (A) We haven't him. We have given for this body, [3880]. Do that.
9. (Q) How long shall this treatment be carried out to perfect a cure?
   (A) The first we see with the medicinal properties and with the sweats are taken together until the full quantity is taken. When this is used up we will then begin with the other, you see, and we will find this will relieve this condition. It will be a long and tedious treatment, but will relieve the condition, through its diet and through its action and so strengthen the body, so change the circulation, so give the action as to make the body, as it were, over again, see. We are through.
