Now these are the conditions as we find them in this body.
The blood in its course, we find is lacking in the ability
to give, at all times, the sufficient rebuilding cellular
force necessary to rebuild or replenish throughout the
system, hence there is at times this tired, worn debilitated
feeling that comes to the body, the feet are heavy, the pains
through the trunk portion of the body and to the head,
especially to the back portion or top of head do these pains
come and give the expression to the condition that exist in
the system from this cause, specifically, now as we are
speaking of. The number of red blood cells are deficient,
yet we find the pressure of the respiratory system's action
just above the normal, that being produced by the conditions
existing in the liver and the action of the nerves of this
portion of the body to governing the functioning of the
circulation through the respiratory system as we will see
when we come to those organs, specifically. The number of
the white blood cells are also deficient, that giving then a
very poor coagulation, that causing the rebuilding cellular
force to become inactive in certain portions of the body. In
the nervous system, we find the brain is very good. The
balance between the cerebro spinal and sympathetic nervous
system is very good for the conditions that exist. The
action of the pneumogastric nerves show the relationship the
conditions in the trunk portions of the body base (?) with
the action of the brain force itself, hence it is along this
channel do we see the effect of the conditions of blood force
and nerve force in producing the headaches to this body for
the entrance of the pneumogastric to the brain force and
extending almost through the cranium, is at the first
cervical and is part from the action of the cerebro spinal
nerve center itself, hence with the condition of sorosis
[cirrhosis] of the liver and its effect on the conditions
through the digestive tract and its reaction then comes
through the nerves of the stomach or the pneumogastric, it in
turn gives its expression to the brain force itself. The
sensory nerve force and centers only suffer reflexly of this
through the action of the pneumogastric, at times this causes
harshness, this feeling in the throat at times producing some
phlegm, some cold and congestion, again it makes just the
buzzing in the ear, you see, and producing at other times,
now these are not always present, you see, just reflexly at
times the eyes burn and hurt and pains run up the back
portion of the head. These are reflexly and not to be
treated for the seat of the trouble. Through the
functioning of the organs themselves, we find in the throat
and larynx and thyroid glads [glands?] the condition as
expressed reflexly. Organically, these are in very good
condition. The lungs themselves present a broad field for
the clarification of blood, yet at times when there has been
severe pains to the body there is a cold clammy feeling
through the upper portion of the body. This is functional by
a reflex from the condition that exists in the liver and the
blood forces themselves. The heart action presents the
condition as has been given of the expression of full veins
at times, hence the pressure felt when the languidness is
apparent in this body. The digestive forces are not good.
These are caused as much at the present from the condition
that exists in the liver and hepatics as would the condition
that is, in times back that produce the cause now of the
condition in the system, see, that is, the first cause of the
condition was from the digestion in its action through the
system causing an overtaxed liver and pancreas forces to
attempt to care for conditions in the system. They became a
chronic condition. When the stomach was bettered it did not
relieve the condition in the liver, now the condition in the
stomach is produced from the condition in the liver from
reflex action. The liver itself presents the seat of the
trouble. Those in the body being at present in the condition
giving pain to the body reflexly through the diaphragm, to
the lung expression, through the pancreas, duodenum and
stomach to produce the headaches, and the pains through this
portion of the body. The hepatic circulation is overtaxed,
hence the inability for the body to find the correct
condition, often throughout the intestinal tract suffering,
at times, from constipation, again from the opposite force
for the mucus produced in the system to care for these,
causes, through the nervous energy, too much mucus to the
system. The same forces are expressed in the kidneys, for
with a high hepatic circulation overtaxed must come to the
kidneys inflammation at times and to the bladder.
Now to relieve and to bring a normal condition to this body,
for it can be done, would be to give in the system that, that
will give an equilibrium as near as possible of elements
needed to produce the perfect functioning of the organ
involved or create the element needed to combat the condition
now being created in the system and making the trouble there.
We would also equalize the circulation by neuropathic
adjustments to the whole spinal column, for with the
conditions we find the centers in the nerve force showing
their need of being brought to their normal condition. As
this is being applied we would give this in the system:
Yellow Dock Root............2 ounces,
Burdock Root................2 ounces,
Snake Root..................2 ounces,
Dog Wood Bark...............2 ounces,
Prickly Ash Bark............2 ounces,
Elder Flower................4 ounces.
This would all be put into one gallon of distilled or rain
water and reduced by simmering, not boiling, to one quart:
While warm, strain and add four ounces of grain alcohol with
three drams of Balsam of Tolu. The dose would be teaspoonful
after each meal and before bed time. Follow this and with
the equalizing of the circulation, we will bring this body to
its normal force again.
(Q) How often should the neuropathic treatment be given to
this body and when?
(A) Every other day, preferably in the mornings.
(Q) For how long a time, Mr. Cayce?
(A) From one to two months to be perfect in its
equalization. Follow these and we will bring a normal
condition to this body, for an operation is not necessary for
these conditions. We are through.
