TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body and those conditions that are a part of the experience of the entity [4002].
2. As we find, there are very definite causes that produce the abnormal reactions between the mental and the imaginative or the sympathetic and imaginative reactions to the brain.
3. These have been existent some time.
4. We find that there are adhesions in the organs of the pelvis causing definite reactions to the pineal gland. These as they react to and through the reflexes of brain cause those periods when there are the exaggerated repressions, and there enters all of those experiences through which the entity in transition has passed.
5. Thus the reactions sound abnormal, they become ridiculous to many.
6. The attempt of the physical body to react to same produces violence to others.
7. As we find, if there would be the application of the short wave electrical shocks for the body, along with the osteopathic adjustments that might be made in Macon, Missouri, there might be brought back near to normal conditions for this body - with the rest, with gentleness, kindness, and the assurance physically and spiritually.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) What specific areas need correcting?
   (A) Through the lumbar, sacral and lower dorsals.
10. (Q) What brought on the mental breakdown?
    (A) As just indicated the adhesions in the pelvic organs, as directly connected or associated with the lyden (Leydig) and the pineal glands.
    Do these things and we will bring better conditions for this body.
11. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 10/31/43 Brother's letter to EC:
   "She is a psychopathic case at Eloise Hospital at present and has been there since 11/02/39. We don't know what caused the collapse, or whatever it may be, because she seems to remember everything said to her from one visit to the next and yet she cannot carry on a normal life. She lived at her mother's home...Mich...before her confinement."
2. 2/44 Brother's letter verifying appointment:
   "On 10/31/39 she became violent while at work - was taken to the City Hospital until arrangements were made to transfer her to the Eloise Hospital on 11/02/39. Since then she has been given all the known treatments for a physiological case. She improved after a year or so of the treatment and was released, but in less than a month she broke down again while on the street car. Fortunately she did not become violent against the passengers, but started to yell and kick at the exit doors. She was taken to the City Hospital and then transferred to Eloise again. Since then she has been getting worse all the time. At present she won't talk to anyone and becomes violent if anyone speaks to her. As far as the doctors know they can't do anything for her. What brought on the mental breakdown? Is there any possible cure for it? What can be done to help her?"
