TEXT

1. DEK: Now you have before you the body of [4670], ..., N.Y. You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. Give the cause of the existing conditions; also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body. You will speak slowly and distinctly and answer the questions after you have given the reading.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now we find there are many complications in the physical forces of this body, [4670] we are speaking of. These have to do with a general debilitation as has been brought to a very severe collapse at the present time. These then are the conditions as we find them in this body, at the present time.
3. First, in the blood supply. Here we find one of the existent conditions that has brought about this general breakdown for there has existed in the blood supply for some time back, an unbalanced condition in the elements as go to make up the active forces in supplying that necessary for the plasmatic cell building force in the body. Hence, when this condition reached that stage wherein there was the same response through the nerve supply as had been stored as reserve energy in the system, the body had the general collapse with many portions of the system not responding to any activity of that attempting to be administered and only sedentary reaction comes to the body.
4. In the nerve system this shows that there has been the labors of the physical forces under high tension and that with the inability of the life-giving forces to supply new energy, the organic forces of the body show their incoordination as is experienced in the non-activity of the brain forces proper to coordinate with the system in the direction of the forces for the body. For as we find there is that of the physical body and of the spiritual body existent in the physical forces of that called Man, and when there is the improper coordination between the physical, the mental and the spiritual forces, these become antagonistic one to another.
5. In the functioning of the organs of this body, in the brain forces, these are good as physical forces though the coordination with the central brain of the body and of the reaction in the other portions do not show the same response under the effect of medicinal properties or of the regular reaction in the system though the body is not at all times in the subdued or subjective attitude.
6. In the organs of the sensory system, these become supersensitive at times in reaction. The throat, bronchials, lungs and larynx show rather the lack of the coordination in the system than of functional disorder, as does the digestive system in its inability to assimilate in a normal manner.
7. In the hepatic circulation we find the greater distress as functional disorders. These are produced by the conditions as exist in the kidneys and the nerves and disorders as shown from the misdirection in eliminations from the body. To meet the needs under the existent conditions is to administer that which will give more strength to the blood supply and to bring about coordination in the nerve centers and there will be the corresponding reaction to the functioning of the system. These may be accomplished in part and if there is brought the reaction sufficient to bring the sympathetic and cerebral spinal system in the nerve reaction to the body, there may be brought about that of sufficient reaction for the body to build back to near normal. Supply these through that of the manipulation to the cerebral spinal centers of elimination and assimilation, stimulating same with the vibration as will be found in the radium appliance in the solar plexus and at the base of the brain using that of the Double X pad and stimulation in that to be assimilated through the digestive system with those of properties that will not bring in the hepatic circulation an over-taxing for the kidneys for these will be changed from time to time, and should be directed by those that give the manipulation.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Should the body remain in this locality?
   (A) These may be administered in the present locality as well as in others and the surroundings are better than in many localities that the body might be placed in. Climatic conditions will not make the change as necessary without that stimulation to the blood supply and the electrification of the nerve energy as is found in the radiation of radium.
10. (Q) Is there a name for this illness?
    (A) The depletion of blood and nerve supply. Name it what you desire.
11. (Q) Will the recovery be of such nature as to permit a return to business?
    (A) If these are applied soon enough, we would find that would be in ten to twelve weeks.
12. (Q) Should the body return to the same line of business or to a different line of business?
    (A) This is for the body. We are dealing with the physical.
13. (Q) How many treatments should this body take?
    (A) First find the treatments responding to the body. There should be necessary 38 to 46. The pad should be worn continually. Same may be applied or supplied through the Appliance Co. of Bradley Bldg., Los Angeles, Calif.
14. (Q) Where should the pad be worn?
    (A) That is given.
15. (Q) Is there any nearer source of supply for the pad?
    (A) Los Angeles.
16. (Q) Is there any further information to be given for this body?
    (A) Do that as given and in the reactions there may be necessary changes to make for as given there must be built that response else the inability of full coordination.
17. (Q) Should these treatments be given by an osteopath?
    (A) Given by someone that understands massage and the position of centers as given for stimulation without the stimulation of those not necessary with same. Osteopath may give it.
18. (Q) Is this body suffering from general debility?
    (A) General debility brought about by the first condition as given. Do as we have given would we bring the better conditions for this body.
19. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 10/02/29 Son [2056]'s letter in answer to Cayce Hospital questionnaire: "Answering your request of Sept. 27th, the instructions given in the reading were never followed out. Both my wife and I felt that the diagnosis of the trouble was correct. We did our best to have the recommendations followed, but they were not done."
