We find the abnormal conditions that are to be corrected have
to do with the circulation, especially that along the lower
limbs, where the circulation becomes clogged at times in its
action; so that the supply of the lymph and structure to
assist the ends of joints (such as the knees and feet) at
times causes the body much trouble. This action of the
circulation is produced by the thinning of the walls of some
of the functioning blood vessels and carriers in the system,
that is along this portion of the body. While through the
trunk portion of the body we find the body in fair good
condition, yet much of the trouble should be remedied through
this portion of the body which would deflect and cause a
different flow of blood in the body. Now the blood forces
itself, as we have it in the system, is very good. The
number and character of the cells themselves supplying
nutriment to the body is very good. There is at the present
time some little bacilli being carried in the system,
destroying much of the lymphatics cellular force that the
units of the system should pick up instead of being absorbed
in the body, so that cells to rebuild the walls of the
arteries and veins in the lower extremities become taut.
The trouble in the lumbars, where deflected nerve energy has
been so long, has assisted in the destruction of the cellular
force through these portions, especially those having to do
with the locomotories and their ends as they are connected
through the brush end of the cerebro-spinal cord. Hence the
tired, worn feelings. This shows itself especially through
the solar plexus center, so that the tired feeling gives off
this expression in the form of faint weariness, rather than
tired muscular force in the system.
To relieve this condition and to bring this portion of the
body to a normal condition we would add that to the system
that would destroy this bacilli in the blood with
manipulation of the muscles along the lumbars, sufficient to
make an equal distribution of blood forces and supplies to
the lower extremities; at the same time relaxing the centers,
especially under the knees, so that the clots as found at
times would come through the small channels by the relaxation
of the muscular force governed by the nerves in this portion
of the body. These are not varicose veins, but the veins are
inhibited by clogging. At times the cording of portions of
the limbs is detrimental, at other times it should be done.
It should be done under the care of the person treating the
body.
The properties that should be given as medicine would be
found in those that we would make from the rag-weed,
prepared; in this manner and form; to 6 oz. of water add 15
drams of weed, which should be used in its green state. It
should be allowed to steep, not boil, 30 minutes, then
strained and taken 1 teaspoon three times a day, morning,
noon and evening, before meals.
If, or when this is followed we will find these conditions
would reach these conditions in the body here, [
4168]. Do
that.
(Q) Shall these treatments be given osteopathically, Mr.
Cayce?
(A) This treatment should be given osteopathically. The
relaxation should be in the lumbar and sacrum, with treatment
along the limbs here only under the knees. It should be
given every other day for some three to four weeks.
(Q) What is the cause of this trouble, Mr. Cayce?
(A) Just the conditions as we have given it here in this
body. Too much has been taken from the blood, so that the
walls and veins have become thinned by this bacilli. Follow
this out as we have given here and we will find relief for
this body.
(Q) Should this body continue to use an electric vibrator,
Mr. Cayce?
(A) Only when the body needs it for rest. The osteopathic
treatment should reach deeper than it has. The treatment
given has not been the best. The treatment should be to
remove the clots which have been formed and the lesions here
in the lower lumbars and sacrum. Do that.
We are through.
