EC: The seat of the trouble, the abnormal condition of the
body begins from the youth, years back. In the body we have
two poles acting to the living body, the kidneys and the
liver, the active principles are the same as two poles of
electricity in the body, those which give life to the body.
The liver is the stronger, excretive and secretive. The
kidneys secreting, taking from the system the impurities.
That is the use of these organs. The overtaxing of these
organs with the kidneys has produced in the system lack of
power for this organ now to work properly, hence the system
at times in attempting to eliminate the impurities has
overtaxed the secretive organs of the liver. At those times
we have secretions from the kidneys carried back into the
system using particles back into the blood thence to the
rebuilding forces in different parts of the body. Hence
condition in muscular contraction, lymphatics and emunctories
overcharged which produced this overtaxing over the system
extending to the smaller parts of the back, the end of the
2nd lumbar [plexus], forearms and knees. The activity of
the life of this body which it has led in recent years has
bettered its conditions, else we would have these troubles
set up to the extent that would have produced worse
conditions; rheumatism, paralysis, ataxia, lumbago and such
like. The activity and mental state of this body is such
that it keeps its mental faculties working and assisting,
but the lack of the liver and kidneys to act and secrete
overtaxes the weaker pole serving the stronger. To correct
these conditions and bring this body back to normal; use such
activities to the system the whole body, as exercise which
will enliven the glands of the kidneys and of the muscles and
nerve tissues feeding to these, the lumbar and solar plexus,
1, 2, and 3rd cervicals. Taking these exercises daily
assisting the system with the proper kind of food and water,
we'll find the body will come to a normal condition. Water
should be that of silica, lithia, and iron. Food stringent
diet, not too much to produce intestinal trouble which is
fairly good at present. The body should use suggestion
to itself. Exercise, use the arms up and back, down and
forward, stooping to knees, trunk portion erect. On the
back, legs raised, first one then the other; then kneading
the intestines over something to dilate them, over a horse
as in a gymnasium or a barrel.
(Q) Mr. Cayce what causes the trouble in left arm and
