This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 20th day of August, 1930, in accordance with request made by self - Mr. [5553] via Mr. [4530].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. [5553] and wife and Mr. [4530].

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5553]. Now, we find - while conditions are very good in the physical forces of the body, there are disorders that should be corrected before there are the attempts of the system to adjust itself to these disorders, and to cause conditions to become of a chronic or constitutional disorder. These conditions, while they may appear to be minor in nature, will - in their activity - gradually build that as to either eliminate or build about in such a manner as to make for greater disorders later on.
2. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [5553] we are speaking of, present in this room:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, here we find a tendency for the pressure to be abnormal. This not an organic heart disorder, though pressure caused there. This rather from those conditions in the circulation as related to those of the lachrymal ducts, and of the lacteals; this making for those conditions where, in some portions, too much of the lymph is created in the upper circulation, too little in the lower circulation. Hence the distresses as in the walls of the abdomen itself, where thin conditions cause those tendencies that make for a distress that will CAUSE disorder, unless these are changed in their nature. As to the blood as is in the system, this abundant in quantity; in quality, a variation exists, from this very condition as in the lacteals.
4. IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, this very good in most respects. There are, in those centers in the lower lumbar region, where these make for that of the IMPROPER relationships in the lower hepatic circulation. This calls for those of the filling up, then, of that area, as produces that pressure that will, eventually, make for disorders in the kidneys, unless relieved. This, added TO the blood pressure, will be called other conditions, unless there are changes made.
5. IN THE ORGANS OF THE SYSTEM, we find brain forces are good. Discrimination and discernment, good.
6. In the organs of the sensory system, as seen from the indications to the lymph in the system, the throat, the nasal cavities, and all, suffer under stress of too ABUNDANT lymph circulation. This makes for that of the hepatics' distress, THROUGH the lachrymal and lacteals, those conditions as has been seen.
7. In the bronchi and lungs, good.
8. Heart's action as indicated, though organically very good.
9. Digestive system, as related to that of the hepatic circulation, shows for those of the disorder as related to the glands in the circulatory system as make for assimilation. This disturbs also the liver.
10. In that of the lower digestion through this area, we find those distresses as indicated in the peritoneum wall. In that of those in the liver portion, makes for that of the disorders as causes, from those of the conditions in the intestinal tract itself.
11. In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions, as we will find for this system, we would first prepare as this medicinal properties as would be taken into the system BEFORE the corrections are made, for at least six to ten days, that changes may be brought in the vibratory forces and in the ability of the system to eliminate and assimilate nearer normal. First we would prepare as this:
12. Plain garden sage (dried preferable) 1 ounce to 6 ounces of distilled water. Reduce by slow simmering to 1/2 the quantity. Then take, after this is strained, and set aside. Then take ambrosia weed 1 ounce to 6 ounces of distilled water. Reduce by simmering to 1/2 the quantity. Then pour the two together, and add:

    Gin (preferably Gordin Gin)..............4 ounces,
Simple Syrup.........................1 1/2 ounce (This
syrup, however, should be made of that of BEET,
rather than cane sugar),
Dissolve 10 grains of ambergris in 1 ounce of grain
alcohol and add to solution. Then add:
Oil of Sassafras.........................3 minims,
Cinnamon (in the stick)..................1 dram.

    The dose of this would be (and it should be shaken before the dosage is taken) one teaspoonful four times each day, before meals and before retiring.
13. We would then, when this has been taken, make those corrections in the cerebro-spinal system and in the abdominal regions, as is necessary for the alleviating of the pressure in the 4th and 2nd lumbar. Do that.
14. We will find, too, that the use of the eye appliance from the violet ray will aid the vision, relieve the headache, and the strain on the nerve system - especially in the head. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) How often should the corrections be made?
    (A) Be made until the alignment in the spine is relieved.
16. (Q) What is the cause of the skin trouble on the hands, and what will relieve same?
    (A) The relief of the hepatic circulation, as is indicated, through those of the assimilation, so that there is coordination IN elimination, this will relieve the condition. It is the lymph circulation disturbed, see?
17. (Q) How long should the violet ray be applied to the eyes at a time?
    (A) Two to three minutes, using double applicator. This will relieve strain and the distress in the system.
18. (Q) Should this be every day?
    (A) Use to correct the condition as has been outlined.
19. (Q) Is the condition in the hands the same as on other parts of the body?
    (A) Produced from the same character of poisons in the system, as is indicated from the blood supply and disturbance in the lymphatic circulation. THIS is as conditions exist in a NORMAL body: When eliminations are carried on, the greater portion of poisons are carried through the alimentary canal. Also the kidneys eliminate certain poisons from the system, as the circulation passes through same. The respiratory system also, through THEIR functioning, throws off a portion of the poison. Again we have eliminations through those of the gases of thrown off in the lungs. In a disturbance as indicated here, through those of the lacteals and lachrymal ducts - the ducts and glands - the lachrymal those as of that PRODUCING the water in system in the exterior portion, called sweat, or tears, or perspiration, or respiration. Those of the lacteals care for the portions where fat or starch are cared for in the system. These disturbances originate from those conditions as exist in the lower LUMBAR region - 4th and 2nd lumbar. By these pressures, and by the activities of the system, the system has gradually turned to ELIMINATING poisons through the RESPIRATORY system, or through the perspiratory system, as SHOULD be eliminated through kidneys and alimentary canal. Just to give an emit, or any active forces that disturb the juices of the intestinal system, or as a cathartic, is only to produce irritation without relieving the cause. NOW - that as is given is to act as a cleanser for the system, exercising the functioning of the spleen, the pancreas, the liver, the duodenum. The functioning of those of the gin, with that of the kidneys, as to make coordination in the hepatic circulation; while those of the manipulation and corrections will COORDINATE the eliminating systems. Do that. We are through.
