TEXT

1. HLC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions which will be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1625]; this we have had before.
3. Now as we find, owing to those activities in which there was a strain to some lesions which exist in the area ABOVE the kidneys, as well as in the lumbar and sacral area, there has been a reverting to the effects from the pressures in the lacteal ducts upon the activity of the glands in the areas above the kidneys.
4. Thus the reactions that have been caused are to the nerve forces along the pineal nerve axis or gland; producing a spasmodic reaction.
5. These as we find will respond to the applications first of the Castor Oil Packs over the lacteal duct and caecum area, and then the removal of the pressures - osteopathically - in the 9th dorsal, the 11th and 12th dorsal, and the coccyx and lumbar area. In the beginning the osteopathic adjustments should be given about twice a week, until five or six are taken, and then these may be farther apart; but give sufficient that there may be the perfect alignment throughout the lower portion of the cerebrospinal system. The greater portion of the adjustments would be in the areas indicated, but coordinate - of course - the plexus in the upper portion of the dorsal and through the cervical areas, AFTER these adjustments are made in the lumbar, sacral, and especially the 9th dorsal, as indicated. The Castor Oil Packs should be given especially on the two days just before the osteopathic treatments are taken, see?
6. We find that these, as combined with the foods that will be retroactive with the glandular forces in the secondary cardiac area as well as the activities of the whole intestinal system, will bring the near to normal forces for this body.
7. These will relieve the tensions upon the lower hepatic circulation, as related to the activities of the kidneys and bladder, as well as the conditions that show reflexes in the face, the neck, and especially the right limb.
8. In the diet, include the Jerusalem artichoke about twice a week in the diet as an active force for the better activity through the pancreas, as well as the adrenal glands. The addition of these influences will aid in releasing those tendencies for pressures in the area, as well as the removal of the subluxation will remove the tension to the areas in the cerebrospinal system as associate with the activity of the glandular system, as well as the organs of the body.
9. Refrain from too much of white breads or too much grease or fats. Not too much sugar, to be sure. Then, little or no candy; but cakes that are prepared with popcorn meal or popcorn flour, or those that carry the arrowroot, will be well for the body.
10. Do these, and as we find we may bring the better forces and influences for this body.
11. Ready for questions.
12. (Q) What caused the relapse?
    (A) As just indicated, a strain upon the subluxations existing in the areas outlined.
13. (Q) What causes circles around the eyes?
    (A) The pressures upon the pineals, as affect the glandular forces, - especially those indicated.
14. (Q) What is the condition of the kidneys?
    (A) Under the strain as indicated from the overactivity or pressures upon the glands just above or about same.
    Do these, and as we find we will bring better forces for this body, [1625].
15. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. See 1625-2.
2. About three attacks a week lately; these are different from the ones he used to have; more of a drawing toward the back than toward the stomach as formerly. - Plays very rough with boys much bigger than he is.

REPORTS

1. GD's note: A couple of years later, after being free from the attacks for that period, the boy fell from a height (tree or house?) and broke his back; nothing to do but lie helpless. This report came to us through Mr. [1226]. I wrote him asking for an up to date report on the case, 3/07/47. I think he told us later that the boy had died.
2. 7/60 In Dr. W. N. Pahnke's breakdown of 96 cases of epilepsy from the Edgar Cayce records, Case [1625] was classified in group one.
