That we may better understand the conditions, these are not -
as we find - things or conditions to be greatly worried
about, provided the precautions and necessary steps are taken
to correct them in their beginning. However, if these are
allowed to progress in such a manner as to shape or undermine
the coordination between the sympathetic and the
cerebro-spinal, and the imaginative and reactive nervous
system, we may expect mental and disturbing factors that will
be detrimental throughout the activities of the body in this
experience. These, as we find, may be easily eliminated in
the present, and are of specific nature; that is, an
overabundance and a changing in type of the active forces as
parasite in the digestive system, or as pinworm action.
These, then, are the conditions, or the effects that we see
resultant in the body in its developing and formative periods
of not only habit, but of the reactions of the mental body to
those things without and within its own reaction to
conditions:
In the BLOOD supply, we find this below the normal in the
amount of the red blood supply, though in many ways and
manners very good. There is the attempt of the system in its
reaction to produce sufficient for the developing of all
portions of the system, the functionings of the organs as
they are developing also - that have much to do with the
mental balance, and the functionings of the organs of
production and reaction through the mental activities of the
body, all of these must suffer unless there are the
corrections made so that there will be an even balance
through the system. The white blood becomes excessive.
Hence a form of anemia, but not bordering as yet on
pernicious, nor does it always exist - but periods come, from
the amount of the effluvia and the necessary elements that
make up the resuscitating and replenishing supply of the
blood system from that assimilated, as to even reduce the
elements necessary to keep an equal balance in the chemical
forces of the body itself.
In the NERVOUS system, here we find the conditions from which
the nervous system is suffering - the activity of the
non-supply of those forces or elements in same sufficient to
keep an equal balance, rather than this producing it is the
effect produced in the nervous system. Hence the
responsiveness that comes from the reaction of the impulse to
and from the differentiate systems on that brain center from
which impulse must react to those forces from without. Hence
we find a nervous system, or systems of the body, deficient
in that stamen [stamina?] that supplies the sufficient
quantity of the fluids and active forces to keep a normal
balance. Because these seem to appear to affect the system
so generally, these should not be considered as indications
of a nervous breakdown, or of any mental unbalance, or of any
condition physical that may not be met - if taken in time.
The effects upon the general activity of the system itself,
or the ORGANS of the body:
Being in a developing stage - that is, the body-physical, the
body-mental, the body-imaginative - all organs of the system
may be said to be functioning at a point of excess, though no
organic condition exists in the system.
In meeting, then, the needs of the conditions in this body,
[
2184] we are speaking of:
We would add, then, to the system, those vibrations that may
be had from the Radio-Active Appliance carrying that solution
of Spirits of Camphor in the negative anode of such
vibration, and when this is attached to the body for the
vibrations from same the attachments should be made first to
the 5th and 6th dorsal center - this first, the larger plate,
carrying the solution in its activity. Then a plate not
quite so large, but large enough to cover the plexus at the
umbilicii center, though above and a little to the right -
see? This should be attached each evening as the body is
ready to rest, and should be kept on for a period of thirty
minutes to one hour each day. Keep these up for at least
twenty-six to thirty days, see?
We would also, every other day, use the electrically driven
vibrator, using the sponge applicator direct to the body,
running same from the base of brain to the end of the spine,
running each side of the cerebro-spinal system. This is to
create in each center an impulse and reaction that will come
from the reviving of the character of assimilation that will
take place from the vibrations created by the low electrical
vibration that carries with same the destructive forces for
those foreign conditions that have become excessive in the
system. This will create, then, a normal balance between the
bodies, and we should find that within this period there will
become a much greater consideration in the system of those
things that make for a nominal, normal development of the
body mentally and physically.
In the matter of the diet, as these vibrations are being
given the body, we will find that it is better to keep an
evenly balanced diet; that is, one that is well for a
developing body, carrying especially those vitamins found in
D - and not too much of the E vitamins in the beginning,
though as the conditions are improved then these will be
found more helpful for creating an even balance.
The electrically driven vibrations would be given every other
day, from fifteen to thirty minutes at each treatment.
Ready for questions.
(Q) At what time should the electrically driven vibrator be
used?
(A) This should be as the body is ready to retire. Give
this. After it is begun, then apply the Radio-Active
Appliance.
(Q) When will the body be perfectly well?
(A) This should be in thirty-six to forty days.
(Q) Are the eyes of the body strong and able unassisted by
glasses to study?
(A) Will be after these vibrations are given.
(Q) Why does the body acquire so many more habits when
attending school than during vacation?
(A) The natural conditions that come from those things that
are affecting the basic forces of the formative activities of
the body itself; for when it is being fed upon, it depends
upon the activities of others rather than upon self.
(Q) Should the defective teeth of the body be drawn or
treated locally?
(A) Better to be treated locally.
(Q) Why does the body breathe through the mouth?
(A) Do as we have given and we will clear these conditions;
for these are habits, as well as produced by those pressures
that are to be relieved by the application of the
electrically driven vibration through the cervical and upper
dorsal area.
(Q) To what color does the body vibrate?
(A) The highest is that of the modes [mauves?].
(Q) Are there any astrological influences that affect the
body, if so how may they be overcome?
(A) Not so much in the formative activities as those
conditions that are influencing from within, at the present.
(Q) Is play with the opposite sex harmful to girls of the
age of this body?
(A) As in the present conditions it would be natural that it
was. With the changes that will come about, by the
activities of the vibrations that may be changed in the
system, it would be very helpful.
(Q) Is there any spiritual advice that the body should have?
(A) Keep those activities before the body not only of
precept but of example; remembering those virtues that make
for the proper activities for a developing mind are those of
the nature that are CONSTRUCTIVE in their reaction to a
mental, a physical and spiritual body. But remove first
those things that hinder in the physical. These, as we find,
have come from a matter of diet and of impulse that has
arisen from conditions that have been in the body's
experience. With the changing of these vibrations through
the elements outlined, we do not alter or hinder any portion
of a functioning organ; otherwise this might be destroyed by
the use of strong drug, but this would eventually show in the
system in a mental aberration.
We are through for the present.

1/35 Report by her cousin, Mrs. [

night at a party telling a young boy about how she had been
sick from pinworms and how the 'reading' had outlined a
treatment which cured her. She was outspoken about it in a
group where Mr. Cayce was being criticized."

2/02/74 She died in a hospital, from cancer.
