TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, the abnormal conditions as we find in this body has to do with the functioning of the organs of the body and also the relation this bears upon the various stages as have been reached.
Now, these are conditions as we find them here in this body, Miss [5708], we are speaking of, you see: Through the circulation we find the body is very good save there is carried in the circulation the repression of fear from the nerve centers about the plexuses governing the sensory organism. There we gather in the circulation those factors that have to do with the replenishing of the system, so that when the cycle is reached that should be given the rebuilding cellular force for the muscles and nerves of the throat and the expression gives to the body the condition causing a partial paralysis of the nerves and muscles governing the inferior muscles of the vocal chords or box, hence the condition as exist. Throughout the rest of the system we find this expression is given only through portions of hypogastric plexus or nerve center, see. Through the nervous systems we find the body has had an overtaxed or overstrained nerve condition in the system until the control between the action of the cerebrospinal nerve centers and the symphatic [sympathetic] nerve centers and those of the sensory organism have been impaired in their co-ordinating forces, hence the condition as exists and produces this condition instead of being a purely pathological condition becomes a psychological condition. The functioning of the organs themselves we find are very good in their individual functioning, that is, those organs such as the lungs, the intestinal tract, the liver and the kidneys, though through the pelvic or pelvis proper we find some inflammation, and the condition existing in the hypogastric centers produces an overtaxed nervous strain, see. [This] affects reflexly the condition as we find in the vocal chords or vocal box itself. The condition specifically we find here is that the left side or chord does not vibrate, the right chord does, hence there is in the ability of the system to conscientiously produce sound with the vocal box in its present condition but through the psychopathic condition, it, the body would be able to produce the vibration necessary to give sound, so to bring the normal factor in the body to give the relief, we would give this body the suggestion through mesmeric or hypnotic influences, the post suggestion necessary to give the correct connection through this portion of the body, that is namely those about the third, second and first dorsal, seventh, sixth, fifth and fourth cervical by manipulation, deep, you see and by the force that would be applied through magnetic suggestion or by the electrical vibrations, the body would receive from a body giving the treatment and suggestion, see. Do that to bring the correct conditions so that they will not return to this body.
We would find under this treatment the body would respond almost automatically, yet bring the perfect unison would require three to four weeks only. Do that.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, who would be the proper person to give these deep manipulations?
(A) Anyone, who understands the condition as outlined here. It does not necessarily mean a physician. Anyone, who understands the condition and have the magnetic forces in their body and sufficient to give to the body, both in the wakening and semi-consciousness.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, how will you determine who has this magnetic force?
(A) There are thousand of them. Just find one.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, this body does not know of any such person, who could do this work?
(A) No fault of ours here.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, are there any other treatments besides those you have suggested for this body?
(A) We have given the one correct treatment for this body to regain the use and control of the power of speech to this body. There are thousands of treatments. There is one correct one. Do that.
(Q) Which is the correct one, Mr. Cayce?
(A) We have given it. We are through.

REPORTS

2/06/23 [5708]'s letter: "...I saw in the Birmingham News where you would like to hear from those who had readings from you. You will recall two months today (Dec. 6) you gave reading for me, and said I was just like you when you had lost your voice. Of course I did not expect to regain my voice in short time. I would be satisfied if I could regain in this length of time. Mr. Tinder whom you secured to help has so far done nothing. He gave me several books to read, which I did. I've been by to see him several times, but he has so many excuses, till I think he does not care to bother. He was to let me know when he wanted me to come to see him. I've not heard or seen anything from him since before January 3rd. I just had the utmost confidence in you the times I had visited you.
"My sister does the massaging of my spine every night, not missing but one night since you told her what to do. Also uses electric vibrator after each massage. You see we are doing our part very diligently.
"I have not given up hopes of regaining my voice, but still I would be so happy if you could do or suggest anything. You remember you said very emphatic you would have me talking in three to four weeks..."
2/18/23 [5708]'s letter: "...I certainly feel like I will sometime be able to talk aloud, but seems like I've tried everything and done everything, but no good gained from anything. I feel very well otherwise - only a cold occasionally..."
