Present: Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. L. B. Cayce.

TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: We have the body here.
3. Now, we find there are those conditions with the physical forces of this body that cause disturbance, and at times apparently become acute, producing other reflexes in the system. These have to do with improper functioning of glands in the body, and this condition produced by subluxations in portions of the cerebrospinal nerve system, and through this subluxation improper radiation is given off in incentive of nerve reaction. Hence physical deterioration in the system, and a form of toxin caused or produced that brings about these improper coordinating forces, or reactions from central brain forces.
4. Now, these are the conditions as we find in this body, though many reactions may be noted from those conditions produced by ABNORMAL reaction in nerve and in gland radiation from properties as have been used and are used in the system. First:
5. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this somewhat below normal in its elementary constituents, yet this would show some over acid reaction but a good capillary reaction, except when distresses radiate from central nerve system. Low in the proper elements of a perfect assimilation then.
6. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, as given, from this we find that causing disturbance in the body. Especially may this be seen in the lowest dorsals and the central lumbar plexuses. Hence those of the lower end of the nerve radiating through the pineal glands cause distress. Hence that condition produced reflexly in the base of brain and in the glands about throat, and the second and third facial reactions - salivary glands, the mammary gland which is secondary, to be sure, for this is to the frontal portion, yet connections are seen from the same resources from the soreness as experienced through this portion of body when this reaction takes place). Those of the lyden [leydig] gland show the MOST reaction, as does [do] the endoric [adrenals], or that about the kidney in their function. Hence the suppression or over activity (for both occur) in the body through these portions of body, or the scarcity of the urine at periods. These are effects and radiations from subluxations as exist, especially in the 12th and 11th dorsal, and the 2nd and 4th lumbar. These produced by conditions existent in periods back, and caused by congestion following the taking of some serum in the body and a reflex from same.
7. IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, these are very good save in those reflexes to the portions that are affected by inactivity of the glands that are of the nature as ductless glands. Those of the central system, especially of the pelvic and the reflexes to the glands in throat and thyroids, and since these are of the nature that are susceptible to impulse, we find the sympathetic system reacts with those of such subluxations, for the subluxation and the condition following same causes pressure on that radiating center between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal from the center or from the radiation from umbilicus or solar plexus centers.
8. To meet the needs, then, of this condition, we will find that medicinal properties alone would not reach same. Neither would - with the conditions already produced in the system from the subluxation setting up, as it were, in the glands improper incentives to the extent that infection from its own product brings destructive forces - correction of subluxation alone bring the full result. Hence the combination of each, or both, would be necessary to meet the needs of this body, [4222].
9. Then, take at least twenty-six (26) osteopathic adjustments, and when there has been at least six (6) adjustments - though adjustments should be made only every second treatment, though treated every other day - but when six (6) adjustments have been made, begin taking those properties in Occy-Cristine taken as a mineral water, or four (4) ounces to two (2) gallons of water, and the properties taken as the drinking water for the body.
10. Keep the body well sponged each day in the warm water, with the brisk rubs of cold water - the whole length of spine - following same. This preferably taken early in the morning.
11. Do that. When these numbers have been taken, we would give further suggestions for the body. Do that. We are through.

BACKGROUND

1. 11/11/27 Letter from [4222]'s father [5540]: "...I have upon two occasions since joining the Association of National Investigators asked for readings on friends of mine and it now becomes necessary to ask for one in which I am most vitally interested and I am enclosing a check for this reading.
   "It refers to my daughter, [4222], who for some time has been having periodic attacks that keep her in bed for a day or two and which have not been satisfactorily explained to me. For your information I would like to say that one Doctor has said that she has some thyroid trouble and others say not and as this condition is becoming apparently more acute, I would appreciate as complete a reading on her as you can give me..."
