Present: Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Dr. and Mrs. McChesney, Miss [5511], and Mr. L. B. Cayce.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5511]. Now, we find there are conditions that disturb the physical forces of the body - but rather there should be given the warnings of conditions as need correction at the present time, that those disturbing conditions at present may not accentuate and overtax the body in a more detrimental way and manner, and with the correction of these more LATENT conditions we will find minor conditions - at present disturbing - being relieved. These, as we find, have to do with specific conditions as do exist in the physical forces of the body, brought about by what has seemed of rather minor natures, but gradually builded in the system to the extent that the VIBRATIONS in certain portions have been changed materially.
2. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [5511], we are speaking of, present in this room:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find below normal in some respects. Also we find the elements and constituents of the blood, especially in the hemoglobin, deficient in respects; yet we would find these show their proper relationships one with another in some respects. In others there are an over-abundance of cells. In other directions LESS than there should be.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, OR SYSTEMS, here we find again the effect rather than the cause of conditions as disturb the system in the general way and manner, for while these are - in a manner - the warnings in places or positions where the effect of disturbing forces has caused, and do cause, those of distresses in centers reflexly - yet these reflexes have come from such an obscure nature or condition that these have often been misjudged as to that causing the distresses with the physical functioning. Hence the change in the system as has gradually grown about.
5. In the sympathetics we find the body rather super-sensitive to certain, or to VARIOUS activities in self, in others, in the relationships to others. These have their effect in a general manner, and more specifically in that of COLORS, do they affect the body, even as POLLEN does many another.
6. IN THE FUNCTIONING ORGANS OF THE SYSTEM, in brain forces, very good.
7. In throat, bronchia, lungs - these responding nominally to the conditions of the body.
8. Heart's action under the strain or conditions of the system, normal to the condition, though may be changed - with changes as may be effected in the system.
9. In the digestive system - here we find some conditions that at times disturb the body. The position itself of the stomach proper, does not coordinate properly with the whole system. Tipped, or tilted, as would be called. This rather severe in the effect as is produced in the system, for there was a good jarring down to the body at one time, which has affected this. More, we would say, tilted up - in the upper end, or cardiac end, than tilted DOWN in the pyloric end - but not a normal position.
10. In the pancreas and in the glands or ducts through which assimilation takes place in the system, do we find the greater disturbance, and that of which the body should be warned most, for with the close condition between the pancreas effect and activity, and the digestive forces as are necessary from the liver in its activity in the system, do these distresses come for the body. These are produced in part by the position, or the activity of foods in the system, as have been constantly acted on in the manner, and of the condition which has been produced there, which forms - in the CLUSTER in the glands - those of OTHER glands, or other conditions themselves. These produce that distress as comes at times through the activity of the lower hepatic circulation, as well as the upper - as does also those distresses as come through the reflexes or the nerve reactions in same at time of digestion - why certain foods digest easily and others at times do not digest at all, why those activities in the system we find turned quickly acid, or again too much sugar, or again too much of the alkalins. These form then to the hepatic circulation a variation in the conditions in the system, a COLD condition repulsing from same, or impulse from same. Again we find the cold or hot flushes as come from same, and these bearing down pains that come as for the bladder and kidneys come from the effects as are in direct reaction through those of the nerves that lead from one to the other, and throughout the activity of the organs of the pelvis. These same conditions are results reflex of these conditions as exist there.
11. Now, to meet the needs of the forces as are seen in the system, first we would begin by that of the correction of that position as is occupied by the stomach itself proper. With this relief from this, it will be necessary for those properties as will create a different vibration in the system as related to the lacteals and the ducts and the organs of digestion. These will change, then, the vibratory forces in this - not only with medicinal properties, but first those corrections - chiropractically or osteopathically - should be made in the cerebro-spinal centers, especially in those that have to do with the mesenteric system, as related to position of stomach with the aesophagus and those of the cardiac end. These coming from the upper plexus in the lower cervical, upper dorsal, and central dorsal region. When these corrections are such that there is correct alignment with the system, we would change then the vibratory forces as may be created in the body through the application of electrically driven vibratory forces in that of a low form of electrical vibration, as may be had through that of the electrical DRIVEN vibrator over the whole system, and especially radiating from the plexus about the umbilicus, and the application of electricity in the form of the plain violet ray, which we would give principally in or on the soles of the feet and the palms of the hands, that the vibratory forces that come from the nerve ends to the radial forces of the centers of the system may be changed entirely. These, we find, should bring the proper coordinating forces in this body, [5511]. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) How long should adjustments be given?
    (A) Until there is correct vibratory forces, or CORRECT alignment in the cerebrospinal system. Especially relating to those of the lower, or the last cervicals, and the upper dorsals, see?
13. (Q) I have just had a polyp removed from my nose. What will be necessary to eradicate those remaining, without another operation?
    (A) Those of the changed vibratory forces as may be created in the system, as affect the system from that of the changed vibration as will be created in the system, will correct the reoccurrence of these conditions - which is as of the electrical vibration, both low and high, as will be applied to this system. Correcting or changing the vibratory forces in the body will eradicate these conditions, and there need be no fear of return of these when the correct vibrations are set up in the body, especially from those along the cerebro-spinal CENTERS as lead directly to these forces - which is that of the 4th and 5th cervical.
14. (Q) I have been troubled with catarrh of the throat for a number of years. One doctor has said I would always have it as long as I remained in this climate. What is the cure for this condition?
    (A) Changing of the vibratory forces in the system will eradicate catarrhal condition, which is a congestion of mucus coating of any portion of the system, produced by the improper vibration set up from the assimilated forces as are taken into the system.
15. (Q) Have been greatly troubled with the lower part of my back as a result of a fall a number of years ago. What treatment will take care of this situation?
    (A) This same condition as has been the undoing, and cause of the minor conditions as given in this. With the correction of the system as relating to vibratory forces as are set up in system, we will find these corrections through the lower portion of the system, the body will come near to normal. These referred to in the first, see?
16. That is all the questions.
17. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 11/01/29 Letter: "...I have your letter of October 29th [Cayce Hospital Form Letter].
   "Since my reading on September 20th, and beginning with the Monday following, I have had three chiropractic adjustments a week, and I think I can safely say the condition is somewhat improved.
   "Dr. McChesney is giving me these adjustments and I am getting them regularly. Being intensely interested in everything about the Hospital, you may safely count on his carrying out the suggestions as carefully as possible. One of the first things that he did was to measure my legs, and, as one was a little shorter than the other, I have an extra lift put on the heel of the left shoe of each pair that I have.
   "With my very best wishes for the success of the work undertaken by Mr. Cayce and the Hospital, I am..."
