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 suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, as we find there are disturbing conditions. These have been a part of a growth, which has come from a subluxation which has existed from youth, and this is in the end of the spinal column or the coccyx end of the spine. Here we find a pressure has been an irritation to the whole of the nervous system. It has retarded the body in many ways of the physical, as well as the mental developments.
3. These, then, have produced lesions which are affectations in the lacteal duct area, where there will be found a cold spot. These with periods of activities cause contraction of the muscular forces here. These in their reflexes cause incoordination in the medulla oblongata or the lower portion of brain forces which control the impulses to same. These, as we find, keep from or prevent betterment of the conditions in the body-forces.
4. There would be first a series of Castor Oil Packs over the lacteal duct area, or the cold spot just below the gall duct center, about an hour each day for five days in succession. At end of five days, then take two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil to cleanse the system thoroughly. Rest a week and then do this again. Rest a week and then do this again.
5. Then we would begin with the osteopathic adjustment for the conditions in the coccyx end of the spine, also the breaking up of the adhesions in the lacteal duct area. These should not be so severe as to bruise or to cause too great an irritation in the areas, but these, as we find, will relieve these tensions on the body and will bring the ability of the body to coordinate at most all times and for building up and replenishing the physical and mental forces of this body.
6. Ready for questions.
7. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 2/09/44 Mother's letter: "I am the mother of 7 children, 6 of which are healthy, normal people, but one, our second son, is an invalid with a nervous condition. Can you tell me what it is and if he can be helped? Have taken him to a number of doctors who all say they cannot help. It appears to be a very mild form of epilepsy."
2. 4/21/44 [5333]'s letter: "I can only do odd jobs, such as painting, kalsomining and cleaning, to earn a little money. I am dependent on my brothers and two sisters, as are my mother and father. My father is an invalid, due to an injury. Can my condition be helped? What causes it?"

REPORTS

1. 4/07/49 Report requested by GD.
2. 4/22/49 Mother's response: "I am not in sympathy with your E.C.F. My son [5333] has been dead almost 3 years. He was never able to follow the advice as it was too farfetched to be anything but silly. He was deeply disappointed, as he could ill afford to spend the money."
