EC: Yes, we have the body here. We have some conditions in
this body, [
4690] we are speaking of, that are abnormal, most
of which are caused by reflex condition rather than from the
direct or cause producing the trouble so that the treatment,
the exercises and medicinal properties used from time to time
to correct this disturbance in the body have been for the
reflection rather than for the direct cause producing this
condition in the body which is, as we find, a mis-placement
of the vertebrae in the spine, you see, in the lumbar region,
that at the second lumbar has been caused by the depression
of the lower end of the spine. That happened when he was
small, or when he was a baby when he struck his hip against
something. The deflection to this portion then causes the
strangulation of the gangulars [ganglia] at this place
deflecting nerve energy to the various parts of the body from
this, then treating the abnormal conditions expressed through
the sympathetic systems from this portion of the body,
causing you see, the undergrowth, the improper distribution
of blood through parts of the body rebuilding the forces
through all the gangulars [ganglia] developing at times the
proper action of the lymphatic circulation through these
parts causing at times an overflow at certain cycles of the
blood supply through the secondary cardiac from the fifth or
sixth dorsal to the head bringing about in its reaction the
rigidity through their muscular centers.
Until we remove these conditions here along the spine, we
will not form the proper rebuilding force to the rest of the
system. The development of the mind has been good, which can
be within itself made an extraordinary force through the
susceptibilities that this body has taken on from those that
have come before.
To remove these conditions, of course, now we have many other
reflex conditions throughout the body, but to bring the body
to the normal condition, make its normal growth, to bring its
normal weight, to relieve the depression, we would bring this
to bear on the body. The use by someone understanding
conditions by which such diagnosis of the anatomy of this
body is undertaken and go through these channels to examine
the portion, [over] then relieve these conditions in this
form and manner: Relaxation by applied heat to lumbars and
lower dorsals by bringing them into perfect unison from time
to time, the vertebrae here misplaced - that is, one is
lower than the other. Strengthening the muscles, holding
these portions of the anatomy by the manipulation along each
side and we will see we will develop then the whole body.
The body as we see is just entering the second cycle of
life or in the development age. It is forming into the boney
structures that if left in the condition will always produce
this nervous, irritable condition and, later, a form of
paralysis, if left, so do this as we have outlined. R. W.
Aspley [R. W. Apsley (?), D.C., N.D. (?)] is the name we
have to do this. As to medicinal properties there will be
some of these needed as well as to his exercises which he is
taking through the regular channels should be carried more
under the directions of the physician in charge than at the
present time. Some are harmful. Do as we have outlined if
we would relieve this condition in the body of [
4690].
(Q) What are the medicinal properties, Mr. Cayce.
(A) They are the action of bromides to the system. You will
understand and use these if given as we have here to him,
Aspley [R. W. Apsley (?) D.C., N.D. (?)] we speak of, Grand
Building, Atlanta, Ga.
Now, Mr. Cayce, you will dismiss this body, you will see it
no more for the present. You are resting quietly and
peacefully. All the organs of your body are going to
function normally and perfectly and you will awake now in one
minute feeling good and alright.
