Present: Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. [5580]'s wife, [4491].

TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; you will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment and cure for this body.
2. EC: Now we find there are abnormal conditions in this body, and these have to do with conditions that have existed in the system for some time back, and the effect as is reached in the system at the present time is the result of the accumulation of poor elimination as has been in the body for some times back.
3. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [5580], we are speaking of. First:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find fairly good. Very good for existing conditions, however the condition as exists in the system is manifest in the blood supply, for this has been carried in the system, this non-elimination, this toxin, these poisons have been carried for some time in the blood supply, and in a manner that has prevented the elimination from being eliminated through the proper channels, as we shall see.
5. As to the pressure as produced in blood forces, this we find is from organic condition, though not of heart than of the blood supply itself, as we shall see.
6. In the division in blood forces, this we find, there is the over-supply in white blood. There is coagulation carried on, yet not in its proper manner or form.
7. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we find there are many portions of the cerebro-spinal system involved in conditions, for there are congestions and lesions formed in various portions and in various centers in the body. Especially do we find this in the 9th dorsal and in the lower lumbar. In the cervical region the effect comes more to the tissue as is involved in the extremities and in portions of the body that has to do with locomotion. In the sympathetic system all of this is involved in the present conditions. In the sensory organism these are of the sympathetic refractory forces rather than of the direct condition.
8. IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY THEMSELVES, brain forces very good.
9. In throat, lungs, larynx, there are the reactions of the nerve condition in the tissue.
10. In digestive tract this we find shows the reaction of properties as have been accorded the system, rather than of condition producing same.
11. In the liver, spleen, pancreas, in these we find there has been the lack of elimination in its proper form and order. The spleen we find engorged, the pancreas we find secreting too much of portions of pancrean secretions and not enough, or not an equilibrium, in the pancrean secretions. In the liver, this we find dormant in part in its action in the system. Hepatic circulation high. Hence the condition of the heart's action as is exhibited, though no organic trouble in heart forces, the pressure being produced by conditions in spleen, pancreas and liver rather than in the other condition, for with the high tension in the whole hypogastric center, and with the poisons as have been assimilated in the system, all show in the capillary circulation, in the nerve tension, in all of the portions of the body which have been backed in the system by the condition existing in the region of the Peyer's Patches and in the lacteal region. These we find are the seat and the basis of conditions, and that produced in the extremities, that produced in the other portions of the body, being the direct reflex from these conditions. This has tended, you see, to have the lack of coordination in the lacteal and Peyer's Glands or Peyer's Patches. These have produced in the ascending colon the condition that has given distress through this portion of the body, though the effect as received at present is not directed in this condition. This has brought then in the hypogastric center the taxation in kidneys, the overflow at times, and the high state of the condition existing, that from the discharge, or from the excretion from the urine as would show. These have produced this state of temperature as brought to the system, but a purely reflex condition, for we see through the muscular tissue, we see through the ligaments in portions of the body, the direct condition as manifested, though the condition producing same emanates from that condition in spleen, pancreas, liver, first seated from the condition in lacteal region and the Peyer's Patches region.
12. R E L I E F: Then to bring the normal forces to this body would be to reduce the strain on the system by giving the relaxing of the system that elimination may be accorded in its proper manner and form in the body.
13. First, by the reducing of the contraction of the muscular forces of the impingements as are found in the lower dorsal and the upper cervical region by deep manipulation, to which heat and the manipulation applied at same time; that is, relax the system for the manipulation with applied heat, taking in the system that which will give these portions of body the incentive for the correction of the condition.
14. Do these, taking medicinally this: To one gallon of rain water, add:

    Sarsaparilla Root.............4 ounces,
Wild Cherry Bark..............2 ounces,
Yellow Dock Root..............2 ounces,
Calisaya Bark.................2 ounces,
Black Root....................2 ounces,
Mandrake Root................30 grains,
Buchu Leaves.................10 grains.

    Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one quart. Strain while warm and add 3 drams of Balsam of Tolu cut in 4 ounces of grain alcohol. The dose would be 2 teaspoonsful 4 times each day.
15. The manipulation and the heat should be applied at least once each day, until the condition is brought to the turn, or the retraction in the body.
16. Do that.
17. (Q) Should the manipulation be osteopathically done?
    (A) Osteopathically done, but deep, with heat application in these portions of the spine.
    Do that. We will find we will bring this body to the normal condition, and relax and bring the re-vibration, re-coordination, through the system when the strains are removed from these centers.

BACKGROUND

1. 8/22/24 Wife [4491] said Mr. [5580] was suffering a severe attack of what the doctors called kidney stones. He was told that he should come to the hospital on Monday (this was Friday) to prepare for possible surgery.

REPORTS

1. GD's note: His wife later reported that following the reading, that same day, she called in Dr. Wm. A. Gravett (osteopath) and on Monday Mr. [5580] went back to his office instead of the hospital. The reading was followed and he had no further attack. [9/28/38 See EC's description of the circumstances under 1472-5 Reports.] Mr. [5580] continued the treatment under Dr. Gravett's young assistant, Dr. Lyman A. Lydic.
2. 8/29/24 Letter: "Glad to advise you that I am getting along fine. I am enclosing check to cover at least part of services rendered, and appreciate what you have done for me. I have taken the liberty of sending several of my friends to you, which I hope will meet with your approval."
3. 11/13/24 His wife, Mrs. [4491], secured a Physical Reading.
4. 1/15/30 Mr. [5580] obtained a business reading, 5580-2.
