FEM: Now, Mr. Cayce, you are going to sleep. (Pause) Now,
Mr. Cayce, you are asleep, and all of the organs of your body
will function properly. You will hear me and answer all of
my questions. You have before you this morning the body of
Mrs. [
4704], and the body is present in this room. Now, Mr.
Cayce, I want you to go over this body that you have before
you from head to foot and examine the body carefully and tell
me of all the ailments or disorders that you may find within
this body, and then tell me what will relieve the conditions
that you find. Also, Mr. Cayce, the body wants you to answer
these following specific questions: What must this body do
for constipation? She wants to know, also, if it was
necessary, could she wait until vacation next summer before
treatment. She also wants to know the condition of the
intestines and the gall bladder; whether or not she has
ulceration of the stomach, and what caused the bad headache
yesterday? Are there any conditions of the female organs
abnormal; and are the medicines that she is taking beneficial
to her trouble? Has she any teeth that need to be removed?
Also, are the glasses that she wears proper, or should they
be changed? Mrs. [
4704], present in this room.
EC: We have the body here. Now, the abnormal conditions as
we find in this body, - we find there are several that have
to do with the specific conditions as asked about, of
different organs. All are connected, or one of the other
apart. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this
body: The blood itself shows by its condition the condition
that exists through the hepatic circulation, and how that
foods as taken in the system act on or are enacted upon by
the condition in the system. There is very little of one of
the constituents of the hemoglobin in the blood, it being
used faster than it is being made in the system. The
circulation is deep, and we do not have sufficient amount of
blood in quantity or quality. The capillary circulation is
very poor. Hence, the dryness to the portions of the body
except at specific times when pain or exertion produces a
different effect, then it is an unnatural respiratory
circulation. The nerve forces in the body are very good,
considering the conditions of the body through the organs
themselves, or the condition existing in some of the organs
themselves. The pains along the back of the head to the top
of the head at times are caused more from the condition in
the specific organs than from other parts of the body, though
they work together, you see.
FEM: Yes, sir.
In some instances. There is a lesion, floating lesion, in
the fourth lumbar, caused by the overtaxed condition through
the pelvic organs. Congestion from cold has caused the
inactivity to some of these organs through the uterus, so
they produce an overtaxed nervous force and its expression is
given off at the fourth lumbar plexus. This causes through
the sympathetic nervous system the headaches as produced in
the body at times, you see.
FEM: Yes, sir.
That is, we have those of recent date. The sensory organism
is enacted upon in the nervous condition, more from the
action of the pneumogastric with its coordinating center
about the sympathetic cerebro-spinal sensory organism, or
sensory nerve energy, that feeds from the trunk portions of
the body. This, we find, occurs here in the fourth and fifth
cervical; hence the expression it gives to the eyes and to
the other portions of the body, as the eyes are used the more
here in this individual. The expression then, is shown more
in that organ. So that, with the condition at present the
dilation or the ability of the optic nerve to gather
impressions to itself that causes to place farther away the
focal plane for the receiving of the impression for sight, so
it would be better for relief at the present - though they
will have to be changed again soon - to change the glasses
from what we have them at present, you see.
FEM: Yes, sir.
So we will gather better conditions for the eye if one
treatment is given for an adjustment to this body, we would
advise, if the practical side of the body is kept in touch
with the improvement, the eyes will improve as fast or faster
than the other portions of the body, you see.
FEM: Yes, sir.
All these, we find, come under the condition of the nervous
force or system here. In the organs themselves, we find
through the stomach, that is, the pyloric end, shows some
lacerations rather than ulcerations, for with the secretions
as would be examined from this we find rather those of a
laceration than ulceration in these portions of the stomach,
you see.
FEM: Yes, sir.
Hence, when the pneumogastric exerts itself, as it were,
through this nerve, enough to produce the proper action of
the stomach, it enlarges or engorges; hence, the inability of
the stomach to empty itself when this condition arises, while
the stomach itself hangs rather low; yet this is not the
cause of the condition as exists there, - fermentation
rather, and too much of an acid condition, until the organ
itself began, as it were, to react upon itself, that then
produced the lacerations through this portion of the organ.
See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
Its reaction shows then through the duodenum, and especially
through the liver in its action to create the proper
secretions to produce a balance in the system throughout the
intestinal digestive tract; hence the condition as produced
with too much acid and the action of the gall ducts to
produce the secretions necessary, for the ordinary carrying
of the digestive forces throughout the system takes away from
the system those mucous forces, so that we find when the
feces enters the colon in its ascending portion there becomes
a lack of mucous forces to carry out the normal conditions.
See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
Hence the condition as produced of inability to have the
proper functioning of the digestive forces, and the chronic
constipation, as it were, in this body. As for the organs,
the liver and the kidneys, we find with this condition
existing in the system there comes an overtaxed condition to
each to carry out their proper functioning. Now, this body
is not wholly sick in that it is beyond repair, or any
condition of that kind. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
For these are conditions that if allowed to remain, become a
chronic condition, such as we have through that of the
intestinal forces; yet if a time - they might be hard to
relieve the condition. As it is, it would be, easily, if the
proper conditions are kept in the system. As to the
medicinal properties taken at the present time, we are only
acting from one functioning organ, while those necessary to
produce the balance and to keep the body fit, and especially
under the condition under which it labors at present, to
assist to ward off congestion, for with congestion, that is,
fever or cold and fever, with that bacilli in the system with
the condition that exists through the intestinal tract and
from the stomach, would produce or bring about a very bad
condition for this body. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
Now, we would give this into the system. This would be one
dose, and they should be taken into the system at regular
periods for a time until the tonic for the system has
assuaged the condition existing in the stomach itself, and
the exercises as we must take to keep the whole physical
forces in their proper coordinating elements. Take this
every third day, evening preferable:
Senna................2 grains,
Licorice Compound....1 grain,
Dover's Powders....1/2 grain,
Yellow Saffron.......1 grain.
These will make large size capsules, but it will take one
every third day for two weeks. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
We will take in the system this, as a cardiac and stimulant
and a sedative to the various organs of the system: To one
gallon of water, rainwater preferred, we would add:
Yellow Dock Root.....2 ounces,
Burdock Root.........2 ounces,
Black Snake Root.....2 ounces.
This would be reduced by simmering, not boiling, to one
quart. Strain, and while warm add four ounces of Grain
Alcohol with three drams of Balsam of Peru. The dose of this
would be a teaspoonful, just after each meal. See?
FEM: Yes, sir.
The exercises would be those of the lower limbs and the hips,
especially those of stooping, regular exercise, now the
stooping and then the circular motion for the hips, with a
cold application across the lumbar and sacrum; then rub well
after each exercise, which should be taken in morning. It is
best to follow this now, - not wait until after a while,
because we have some bad places to go through between now and
summer. Do this. We are through.
Now, Mr. Cayce, you will forget all about this reading you
have given. You are feeling all right, and all of the organs
of your body are functioning properly. You are feeling fine.
You gave us a splendid reading. Now, just wake up in two
minutes feeling fine and absolutely free from that headache
you had this morning.
