TEXT

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.
EC: Yes, we have the body here: [5386].
As we find, there are disturbances and these cause a great deal of anxiety at periods for this body. These have been brought on by an injury to the body. For at some time back there was an injury to the end of the spine and the pressure which is produced from the coccyx end of the spine reflects to such a nature that at the 1st and 2nd cervical there comes periods when there is not control of the emotions to the brain forces. Convulsions are the result.
These are not what is commonly called the epileptic. True, there is the semblance of same and we find that these are not being controlled in the best manner.
There would be first the correction of the position and the manner in which there is the position of the body in the structural portions more erect, and thus relieve these stresses from the areas in the lumbar and coccyx as well as those conditions produced in the lacteal duct area, and those in the cervicals.
Thus, we may gradually remove these.
We would prepare and take also, to purify the alimentary canal, a gallon of the dried Passion Flower. This should include the fruit, as well as the leaves and stem. Put this in a gallon of distilled water and let it boil slowly. Put this preferably in either glass of enamel ware which is not broken. Reduce it until there is only one quart. Add sufficient of the grain alcohol to preserve this, and then take a teaspoonful twice a day for the first five days. Afterwards, of evening when the body is ready to retire, take one teaspoonful.
Keep away from sweets, or quantities of foods which too easily remain in the alimentary canal.
These corrections will bring about changes for the whole body, in posture for the structural portions, and we should bring help for this body.
Do that.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Who would you suggest to make the corrections?
(A) Dr. Dick.
We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

5/19/44 Sister's letter: "She started having convulsions at the age of 31 years. After tests and many weeks spent in hospitals the diagnosis was a form of epilepsy, the cause unknown. The seizures are frequent and the many falls sustained are causing a deterioration of the mind. She is a trained nurse and well aware of the harm being done by the continuance of such seizures. Her outlook is very morbid and the constant drain on Mother's strength is very alarming. We feel that time is a very important factor."

REPORTS

8/28/44 [5386]'s letter: "...Through Dr. Dick carrying out the suggested treatments, I have improved vastly in every way..."
8/07/44 Dr. Marion Dick's letter to EC: "...I have just started with Miss [5386], and am most interested in her case as it is the first epileptic I have had from you, and frankly I have to admit that I haven't been satisfied with the results I have had in those cases. The osteopathic lesions in Miss [5386]'s case were as you said, after her first treatment she said she was able to look over her left shoulder for the first time in three years. She came today to stay at Mrs. Foehl's Nursing Home so would be near me while taking the treatments..."
10/09/47 Report requested on [5386] from Dr. Marion Dick.
