The nerve forces in this body, we find there are lesions
formed along the spine; some have been caused by cold and
congestion, and some have been caused, - as the one we find
in the 8th dorsal, - by outside influences, or forces. The
other is a sympathetic condition. This we find floating
at the 9th dorsal, the 5th and 6th dorsal, the 4th and 3rd
cervical, and the lumbar and sacrum also show the affect of
this condition. Now, they are deep, and are lateral, rather
than of circular or bony; that at the 8th dorsal being the
deeper one, and the one that causes, or has caused, by a
continuation of the condition, the others along the system.
They affect the functioning of the organs through the nervous
system, so that we find we have nervous indigestion at times,
produced by the action of the nerves sympathetic to the
functioning organs of digestion, and they affect those of the
pelvic organs reflexly in the same way. Again, we have from
those about the upper dorsal the effect to the larynx, and to
the portions of the lungs that are involved by this
condition. Now, these are the conditions as we find them in
this body; the condition of the organs being reflex, rather
than organic conditions in the body. By the removal of this
condition along the spine, we would remove the effect that
they produce throughout the organs themselves. This we would
do by osteopathic force, rather than by other means, for this
will reach the deep seated forces when properly applied.
With this condition as we find existing at the 8th dorsal, it
will be necessary to use heat applications when treating to
get the proper relaxation to adjust the conditions here. Do
those.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, does this body need any medicine at all at
the present?
(A) (Repeating question) If it had, we would have given it
to it. Do those things that we have given here, and in the
way we have given, if we would bring the proper adjustment to
this body, and relieve the pressure that causes the condition
throughout the system.
(Q) What osteopath do you recommend, Mr. Cayce?
(A) (Repeating question) We don't recommend.
(Q) Mr. Cayce, just answer one more question for me. How
long will it be necessary to have this body treated by an
osteopath to get it in good shape?
(A) (Repeating question) Until we adjust the conditions
first along the spine, and keep the condition at the 8th
dorsal so it will remain so, and not bring the condition
again into the system. This affects the upper plexus, or
that plexus governing the upper portion of the pneumogastric.
While this adjustment that we have given is being made it
will be necessary to apply heat to the body.
(Q) What kind of heat, Mr. Cayce?
(A) (Repeating question) An osteopath will understand it if
he understands his business, and uses his head. Follow the
things that we have given. We are through.
Now, Mr. Cayce, you will forget all about this reading you
have just given. You are feeling fine and all the organs
of your body function properly. Now, you will wake up in two
minutes just feeling fine, and free from headache.
