TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find there are some abnormal conditions in this body. They are produced by a specific cause or obstruction in the system, and this may be corrected even now, though it has happened to the body in times back. The effect is to the nerve system, the blood supply and the functioning of some of the organs as we shall see.
2. Now, these are conditions as we find them in this body, [184], we are speaking of ..., Calif.: First, in the blood supply in the body, while we find the blood very good in the quantity for the system, the strain that comes to the body at times through the action of certain nerve centers produces such a taxation upon the system as to cause the blood to become thinned at times, again too heavy.
3. In the nerve system we find the trouble in certain centers affects this circulation, also the functioning of organs, especially those of the pelvic region. This, we find in the ilium plexus and reflexly to the other centers in the region of the body causing the troubles at times in the kidneys, and their functioning, and the organs of the excretory system here. In the reflex action in this nerve system we find in the eighth dorsal plexus that which gives the trouble at times with the circulation and taxation to the diaphragm and its functioning in the system when in action, for we don't have it without, produces inflammation there. The seat of that producing the trouble being in the second bone, vertebra or the coccyx in the end of the spine, this has been hurt or injured in times back, and at times affects the duodenum reflexly with these other conditions.
4. In the functioning of the organs of the body we find the brain forces of the body very good. The functioning organs in the sensory system show some reflex conditions as do all of the organs that are governed by the ductless glands in their secretions for the system, nerve reflex from the strain on the body. In the lung forces, the body very good, except as the strain presents itself with the reaction in the region of the diaphragm or that governed by the center from the 8th dorsal region - reflex conditions at times only - no organic. Through the digestive tract, but with the reflexes in the system all of the organs of the hepatic circulation suffer at times. In the functioning of the kidneys and the excretory system that directly suffers from these conditions. There we find the overtaxed portion that will be the more troublesome to remove from the system.
5. To correct conditions in this body for the permanent relief first by heat applied and chiropractic forces adjust the condition in the body near the end of the spine, then with the vibrations that set the body in harmonious elimination and assimilation, we will bring the body to its normal force. This should be corrected with the application of vapor heat in the ilium and sacral region in three to five weeks, and the vibration as we would find from that of the Abram forces give the incentives for the whole regaining of equilibrium throughout the body. Do that.
6. (Q) How should this heat be applied, Mr. Cayce?
   (A) The heat through vapor application direct to the sacrum and ilium plexus region with this relaxation to this portion of body, the adjustment and correction may be made. This as we have given should be very soon, three to five weeks. That of the vibration will only be of sufficient time to give the perfect assimilation that will be from the center of body and to the spine in its vibration which will be that to equalize the assimilation and eliminating forces. Do that.
7. (Q) How often should the chiropractic treatments be given?
   (A) Every third day.
8. (Q) How often should the heat application be applied?
   (A) Each time the body is treated by the chiropractic forces until the adjustments are made, then of course the head is left off. It will be adjusted to its proper place so it will stay there until the heat is applied.
9. (Q) How often should the Abram treatment be given?
   (A) The whole completion will be in forty-eight hours of vibration; be given every second day.
10. (Q) How should the heat be applied?
    (A) We want only that heat applied locally, not all over the body.
11. (Q) What must the heat be applied with?
    (A) That form in which the chiropractor forces heat in portions of the body where adjustments are to be made.
12. (Q) What kind of an accident happened to this body?
    (A) Where the body had a fall here, you see, which bent or misplaced and with the contraction this has gradually produced this curve here. This also causes the troubles at times through rectum. [Hemorrhoids?] Correct these, and we will correct these conditions here.
13. We are through.

REPORTS

1. 8/28/23 Brother [195] wrote: "...Received a letter from my brother [184] in California a couple of weeks ago. You will recall you made a reading for him. His trouble was caused by a blow in youth to lower spinal column. He advised in his letter that he was taking treatment but the chiropractor had no way to apply heat. I immediately wrote him and told him to pack in hot towels before adjustment..."
2. 4/29/24 Mr. [195] was present, submitting further questions for 184-2.
