MHB: Now, Mr. Cayce, you are going into a quiet, restful,
normal sleep. You will hear me when I speak, and give the
information in detail that I ask of you, slowly and
distinctly.
Now, Mr. Cayce, you are asleep. Before you in this room is
the body of [
140]. Go carefully over this body, physically
and mentally. Examine it thoroughly, and tell the conditions
as you find them, giving any abnormal conditions, the history
of the conditions and treatment and cure or relief. Then we
will ask questions. Slowly and distinctly.
EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find this body very
good in many respects. There are some abnormal conditions in
the nerve system and in the structural portions of the body
that hinder in the perfect functioning of the whole system.
These are the conditions as we find them in this body, [
140]
we are speaking of, present in this room:
First, in the blood supply in the body: This we find very
good in many respects, the division in the white and red
blood near normal. The pressure in the body not always
normal, produced by specific conditions in the body. This is
not a condition in the elements and constituents of the
blood, yet the circulation becomes affected by the
conditions, and the circulation so hindered that functioning
organs at times are under distress from the condition.
Neither is it organic condition in the heart or the pressure
produced by organic conditions in heart.
In coagulation, blood elements very good. Numbers in red
blood corpuscles seem normal at present time. The white
blood and plasmatic cells produce a leucocyte supply - is
normal at present.
In the nerve system we find there are conditions that produce
the abnormal pressure in blood supply, for the conditions
that exist between the sympathetic nerve system and the
cerebrospinal nerve system show that there are centers that
are hindered in their normal functioning, that give distress
through sympathetic nerve system, and cause abnormal
function. Hence, the body is very sympathetic at times and
there are occasions under certain stresses that the condition
produces a full pressure in carotid artery and to the pineal
gland, producing the strain to the sensibilities of the
conscious and - portions of the body, [
140] we are speaking
of. This pressure we find in the fourth and fifth dorsal
segment, and lesions produce the strain between the
sympathetic and cerebrospinal nerve plexus.
The reaction to the system from this is to produce in the
secondary cardiac plexus the strain on the cardiac
circulation producing full capillary - circulation. The
reaction in sympathetics is to carry this pressure in - to
the pineal gland at the base of the brain. This we see
overtaxes the emunctories and the excretory system, liver
clogged by same sympathetically. In the second dorsal center
we find there has been in times back a condition that has
brought injury to the plexus governing the circulation in the
arms and shoulders. This is not in connection with the
plexus disturbances in fifth and sixth dorsal but are only
brachial centers and especially in the left side is the
reaction. In the plexus from the lower lumbar we find there
are lesions formed from conditions existing in body in times
back, in so far as that produced in upper dorsals, see?
MHB: Yes, sir.
From this, we find it brings distress at times
sympathetically when the action in the system is through the
glands that have to do with the functioning of the glands and
system in the pelvic organs. This is produced through nerve
reaction, not organic conditions save sympathetically.
In the functioning of the organs themselves the sensory
organism and the organs of same show the reaction of
sympathetic nature, only not abnormal conditions or
functioning.
Brain force very good.
In throat, lungs, larynx, the condition in the upper dorsal
being such as to make the body amenable to congestion in this
portion of the body. Lungs good. Digestive tract shows only
the reaction in the strain as produced by conditions in the
nerve system, and not organic conditions, the predisposition
in system being that which would give the general strain on
the duodenum and portions of the intestinal digestion.
In the liver, the emumctories and lymphatic circulation show
the strain on system through congestion and the intestinal
tract shows the effect of lesions in the lower pelvic region.
Show strain in the digestive tract and affect the
circulation, being detoured through emunctories. The pelvic
organs show the reaction through the functioning of same by
conditions existing there.
Then, to give the necessary relief to the body, we would
take these properties in system that would give the correct
incentives to the functioning of the system - correct
osteopathically by manipulation with applied heat, conditions
in upper dorsal region from sixth to the first dorsal and in
the lumbar region.
To one gallon of rain water, add:
Sarsaparilla root...............2 ounces,
Yellow dock.....................2 ounces,
Burdock.........................2 ounces,
Poke Root.....................1/2 ounce,
Calisaya Bark...................1 ounce,
Elder Flower....................2 ounces.
Reduce by simmering, not boiling, to one quart, strain well.
While warm add three drams balsam of Tolu cut in four ounces
of grain alcohol. The dose would be a teaspoonful four times
a day, before meals and before retiring.
Eat the meals regularly, and let the diet be such as to keep
the excretory system functioning normally. Not too much meat
- more of the cereal and vegetable nature, taking care of the
eliminations and correcting the impingements, and we will
bring the body to the normal conditions.
Do that.
(Q) Will it be safe for this body to have another child,
and have good health before and after, Mr. Cayce?
(A) If the corrections are made in the lumbar regions as
given, yes. It would be better both through the mental and
physical forces of the body.
(Q) How long will it take the treatment to cure this
condition, Mr. Cayce?
(A) From sixteen to eighteen treatments should at least be
given, depending upon the attitude of the mental forces to
the body as to how soon the body responds to conditions, see?
MHB: Yes, sir.
For with each and every force applied in the physical
there must be corresponding force applied in the subliminal
or the spiritual force in the body, for without this entity
having these forces coordinated, nothing becomes a whole to
this body.
(Q) How often should the treatments be given?
(A) Twice a week.
(Q) What kind of vibration should be used for heat?
(A) Electrical vibrations or strong reflected rays from
electric light that the body may be thoroughly relaxed when
the adjustments are made where the subluxations of segments
show. See?
MHB: Yes, sir.
(Q) Will an osteopath be able to administer both treatments?
(A) He will.
(Q) Should any special machine be used in these vibrations?
(A) As we have given - reflection from light.
(Q) What causes the semi-fainting which overtakes the body
frequently?
(A) We have given this - pressure produced by lesions in the
dorsal region on the pineal center.
(Q) What is the pineal center?
(A) That gland in the base of the cerebellum that extends
through the whole system and gives equilibrium to the body.
(Q) What causes the pain to the arm, neck and shoulder of
the right side?
(A) Conditions as given. In the left side of the brachial
plexus center.
(Q) Has the body any thyroid trouble?
(A) Only as that from gland conditions producing the
pressure from the pineal gland.
(Q) What is the spiritual condition of this body?
(A) As given.
We are through.
Now, Mr. Cayce, you have finished the reading on the body of
[
140]. In one minute after I cease speaking, you will wake
up feeling perfectly normal. You will feel very happy over
having done a good and will continue your good work. Now, in
one minute's time, perfectly normal, thoroughly refreshed and
relaxed and in good humor, you will wake up.
BACKGROUND
NEURITIS in arm. [GD's note: From subsequent questions and
readings, it would appear that trouble with her right arm and
shoulder had been originally caused by an injury, though no
details were ever supplied.]
REPORTS
10/24/24 Mrs. [
140] requested Life Reading
143-1 for her baby
girl, saying: "I want you to know how very glad I was to
meet you and how interested I am in your work. When you have
time would you tell me if the treatments given by Dr. Grace
C. Berger, (D.O.) for me are being carried out in the
correct way, and if everything is alright, both in a
financial and physical way?" I have been taking your
medicine and the treatments and am feeling much better
already."
11/03/24 She obtained Physical Ck. Rdg.
140-2.
