Present: Edgar Cayce; (?), Conductor; (?), Steno.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find in this body, [4383] we are speaking of, throughout, the present conditions as we find in the body, the anatomical conditions are very good, its present status you see. We find, of course, in all bodies, some conditions that are abnormal even to the individual body. There are conditions in this body that to other bodies would be abnormal, to this body they are normal conditions, as we find in some portions in this body, other portions or parts of the anatomical condition or anatomy that has been affected by outside influences, yet they become normal to this body in its present condition.
2. Through the blood-supplying forces as we find, there has been and is yet some trace of and showing of conditions existing within the blood that build or tend to seat themselves within the mucus coat of organs within the system or take up the action of glands and their forces in its emunctory action through the glands themselves. This that carried not pus forming or streptococcus but that which carries the functioning of gathering cellular forces together and reproducing in itself at times or as we find the condition that exists through the throat comes from the mucus lining here of the portions of the body, where we find conditions producing the same sort of process here. We would find this by a bacteriological examination of these forces. Yet this may be through the action of the lung forces, that is the action of the conditions in the lung on blood, the condition in the liver and action on the blood, the condition through the heart forces itself and thru the action of air forces from outside may remove these conditions from the blood supply so that we create a new force, new warriors within the blood, to combat with the conditions that were existing or have existed before and we have traces present within the body to remove this from the system to its entirety.
3. Through the nervous forces in the body we find this very good for the conditions that have existed in the body. There are still some traces of overtaxations of some parts, especially do we find this comes to the extremities, hence the effect that is brought from irritation or nervous forces is gathered from the condition of the circulation to the arms and to the lower limbs, at times causing pains throughout, which seem to be of a deep-seated nature, which travel along the locomotor nerves either in the upper or lower extremities, that is either in the arms or in the lower limbs. These are only reflex conditions and are produced from the effect of the conditions existing in the seat forces, that is the blood supplies to the emunctories and their action has gathered from this circulation to the supply from the rebuilding cellular forces as supplied from the blood supply or the complete circulation.
4. In the action of the functioning of the organs themselves we find as these conditions exist here thru the brain supply forces of the head itself the body is good, well balanced here. Quick of action, quick of expression, quick of grasping of thoughts or ideas as expressed by others or expressed within itself. They are capable within itself.
5. The action as we find through the forces in the thyroids, the ductless glands, here the secretion has gathered there that has produced more of the effect to the tonsils and to the adenoid forces and the secretory forces thru the head and nasal, producing the effect of congestion or of cold rather than of organic conditions. The action of the forces thru the neck here where that strikes to these nerves and to these centers governing the larynx and these portions of the body only pain at times from the effect received through the blood forces as it is received from the seat, or as we find through the hepatic circulation. The lung forces themselves very good. The action of the forces through the air chambers give the expression that we have at times thru the larynx comes from the condition in the throat and not from the lungs.
6. The digestive forces and tract throughout we find very good, considering the conditions that have existed in the system in times back, they are good, tho we find through the action of the blood supply in the lymphatic circulation, the conditions as shown in the liver itself and its action on the blood supply forces so that we have an over-abundant amount of forces secreted in the system to care for the condition that exists thru the body. Thru the action of the forces as covered here, thru the glands within the body, about the emunctory glands, we find these have shown the existence of secretions that have been gathered at these from the condition existing within the blood supplying forces and is of the nature and partaking of the condition existing within the blood and not of organic condition or within the body itself, so it was not necessary here for the operation to be had to the breast itself for this would have been removed through the action of the blood supply to eliminate through its proper channels, that is thru the hepatic circulation, taking over the forces from the liver and from the kidneys, and the action of the splenic forces on the pancreas juices.
7. The action at times we find here shows thru the lower part of the intestinal tract, or viscera, by action of forces that prevent the proper action of the discharge of the feces from the system. This came through the conditions as they are today on the mucus forces in this portion of the body. These are reflex conditions.
8. To bring or to produce the normal conditions throughout this body we would be, we would have a twofold nature of the condition to exist or brought about in the body. We would give into the system these properties that would produce the proper balance within the body so that the system creates within itself that needed to combat with the conditions that exist in the system.
9. We would take into the system this:

   Sarsaparilla Root...........6 ounces,
Black Haw Bark..............2 ounces,
Mandrake Root...............2 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root............2 ounces,
Burdock Root................2 ounces,
Poke-Root...................2 ounces,
Elder Flower Blossom........4 ounces.

10. All this will be put into one gallon of rain water and simmered and not boiled until reduced to one quart. While still warm strain and add 5 ounces of grain alcohol in which there has been dissolved three drams of Balsam of Tolu. The dose would be tablespoonful night and morning, that is just before retiring and just after arising.
11. This will create in the system a new supply forces proper to eliminate all of the conditions throughout the body. After this has been taken, that is the whole amount that has been given, and the body has rested from this condition for five days, we would then take this into the body:

    Chloride of Gold...........15 grains,
Bicarbonate of Soda.........8 grains,

    dissolved in 15 oz. of rain water, the dose would be 5 drops of this solution in half glass of water. The diet will be, while all of these are being taken, what the system calls for, need not fear to eat anything then until after that is taken into the system or will be removed the condition that produces these forces throughout the body we will find the body will take on flesh, we will find the body will be relieved from the congestion that forms in the various parts of the body, or we will eliminate thru the proper channels these things as needed. Do that. We will find will bring the body here, Miss [4383] to its normal condition.
