Present: Edgar Cayce; Mr. L. B. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5565]. Now we find there are conditions as disturbing elements with the physical forces of this body. These have to do with the eliminations and the effect the NON-eliminating forces have upon the functioning of the organs of this body, [5565].
2. These are conditions, then, as we find with this body physically:
3. THE BLOOD SUPPLY is in that state of where QUANTITY is near normal, but the QUALITY of the blood supply is below normal. Hence we have the effect of being raised in its pressure, and sinking below in its pressure. The conditions are of a complicated nature, then, as may be seen even from that of the blood supply.
4. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM there are effects created by conditions as have existed in system, produced by the gradual growth of EFFECTS of conditions as had to do with pressures created in portions of the system. Again a complication of conditions. While the body is NOT all the time ill, the body rarely feels very well - yet continues to force the issue with the body, and forcing the activity of the body.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS, all show the effect of this disturbance of the complicated nature; that is, ALL show - in their various cycles - the effect of a very poor elimination, speeded up at times - and the effect of a very poor distribution in nerve energy, speeded up at times - and leaving drosses in system that cause much of the disturbance.
6. Then, to meet the needs of the conditions of this body, there would be first that as would affect the system in such a way and manner that there will be something to build upon. Then, we would first use this:
7. To 1/2 gallon of rain or distilled water, add:

   Wild Cherry Bark...............1 ounce,
Sarsaparilla Root..............1 ounce,

   (Preferable that these be taken in their original state; not tinctures, nor even syrups, nor any that is already compounded - but the roots taken in their original state, see?)

   Yellow Dock Root.............1/4 ounce,
Burdock Root.................1/4 ounce,
Black Snake Root.............1/2 ounce,
Sassafras Root Bark..........1/4 ounce.

   Reduce this by simmering (not boiling) to 1/2 the quantity. Strain while warm and add TINCTURE Stillingia 20 minims. Cut 3 drams Balsam of Tolu in 3 ounces pure grain alcohol and add this to the solution. Shake well before the dose is taken, taking a teaspoonful before each meal and before retiring.
8. Let the diet be those of the vegetables rather than of meats, and have at least one GREEN vegetable at each meal.
9. At least once each week use an high enema, using at least a quart to half a gallon of water. In the proportion to each quart of water used, add half a teaspoonful of Glyco-Thymoline. Have the water at least to the temperature of the body when it is used, so that the colon and the intestines - the lower intestines - may be thoroughly cleansed with the properties as are being used.
10. When this whole quantity of medicinal properties has been taken, we would then give further instructions for the correction of that condition of this body. Do that. We are through for the present.
