TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [584]; this we have had before.
2. Now, as we find, there are improvements in the general physical forces of this body since last we had same here. While changes are taking place, there are some tendencies for disturbances in the assimilations - making for disorders that were to be warned concerning in the physical functioning of the body. These at times have shown, and do show, retractions - or the tendencies for a reversal to the old form. For each portion of the system builds in its regular cycle. Hence, as we find, those corrections would be continued to be made by stimulating the circulation to the affected parts; as in the organs of the sensory system there should be consideration given at times also to the centers from which these impulses arise. And we would find that there would be overcome that reversal to distressed condition, through the disturbing of the circulation to the head, to the eyes, to those portions of the body where there has been the tendency for the nerve forces to have become so irritated as to have lost their evaluation in the active forces - with irritations arising through improper eliminations in the circulation.
3. Hence we would continue with periods of manipulation and adjustments through the osteopathic activity.
4. Continue occasionally with the antiseptics for the soft tissue in the nasal cavities, the soft tissues of the face; and as these stimulations are made for the conditions, and the body adjusts itself more and more to the revivified forces, we should continue to bring better conditions for this body.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Of what duration should the manipulation periods be?
   (A) Of two to three weeks, and then a rest period of almost an equal length of time. However, the use of the antiseptics in the head may necessitate a shorter period of rest between the time.
7. (Q) Should the Atomidine be continued?
   (A) Should be continued.
8. (Q) Should the drops in the eyes [advised by Dr. Richardson] be continued?
   (A) These should be continued.
9. (Q) Are the treatments being given according to the suggestions given in the reading, osteopathically?
   (A) All save as has been suggested here. There has not at times been the consideration given to the organs through which the assimilation takes place. He should make a correction occasionally in the 6th, 7th and 8th dorsal also.
10. (Q) Any special diet that would be helpful to the body?
    (A) Just so there's not too much sugars nor too much of red meats. These will make for a heaviness that makes for this return of those conditions, as we first indicated.
11. We are through with this reading.

REPORTS

1. 10/24/34 Mildred Davis' report: "...While EC was away for three weeks (just returned 10/23/34) the patient came three times to see him, desiring a Check reading. He gave varying reports. First time, thought he was improved. Later complained of return of attacks to eyes. Seemed discouraged, but admitted duration of attacks not as long as heretofore..."
2. 10/25/34 A.M. early he picked up a copy of the reading [584-3] on his way to Dr. Richardson for treatment; seemed cheerful; said he felt pretty good.
3. 1/08/35 GD's report: "Visited office, reported improvement; said he felt fine; Dr. Richardson had told him place in spine was much better. Only a slight attack with eyes occasionally. Still taking Atomidine and osteopathic treatments, etc."
4. 1/24/35 Mildred Davis' report: "Patient came to see about a Check reading this morning. EC had left a few hours before for Washington, D.C... He acknowledged he was improving; when asked about his condition at first he said 'fair', reluctantly admitting a few minutes later that he had seen improvement. He met Mr. L. B. Cayce, as he went out and indicated to him that Dr. Richardson had tried to change the type of treatments given him, but upon finding they were detrimental changed back to the way the reading had given. Lamented that he had to pay for these treatments anyway, though they were not given properly.
   "Patient looked much better. Said he had relapses now and then with the condition in his eyes; that he has followed everything to the letter except the potato poultices and he may not have applied them as often as necessary, but was not sure how often."
5. 4/24/35 See 584-4.
