TEXT

EC: This body here, [168], ... Broadway, New York City. There has entered into this body microbes which have attacked the nervous system, in its action especially through sympathetics. Then we have a condition - locomotos in the distributing nerve centers from the cerebro nerve chord, in lumbus also in the lower cervicals, 7th and 8th, secondary or reflexes through the solar plexus - intestinal and digestive tract. These eliminations through treatment have left the body in the condition which we now find it.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, how did these microbes enter the body?
(A) Through inhalation of the breath, through the lungs to the blood. In the centers we have had microbes which set up the trouble some 18 months ago, these have been eliminated by the taking on of others which has increased white blood corpuscles, and body is incapable of proper distribution - being carried through lower extremities - right side.
To remove the trouble and bring the body back to normal condition, treatment must be through that of a REAL Osteopath or as given by school of Osteopathy or the cult known as Osteopaths. Treatment directly to nerve and muscular forces, especially should the treatment be given by a REAL osteopath, which we haven't had in this body. The trouble is deep seated, treatment is needed to establish the equilibrium, begin the treatment to carry the blood farther into portions of the body, gradually building up forces of white blood corpuscles into the proper channels.
Treatment has been of the conditions thus far.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, what further treatment would be required?
(A) This is the treatment we need here in this body.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, is this body in bed?
(A) No, she is sitting in a large chair, talking to a man.
