As we find, there are disturbances which prevent the better
physical functioning with this body. These, while appearing
of a complex nature, are all primarily the result of a
pressure produced by a skirmish or a wrestling wherein
the areas of the 11th and 12th dorsal, and the 7th and 8th
dorsal, have a lesion which is of a lateral nature. These,
with the pressures upon the nerve supplies to the colon,
produce a tendency for a filling or a plethora in portion
of the transverse and descending colon.
Thus, we have quite a variation in the pressure in the
metabolism or heart's activity or circulation of the
central nervous system. These are the sources, too, of
the exhaustion which is caused by activities sometimes of a
mental nature and at others when there is the exercising of
the muscular forces of the lower limbs and the dorsal areas
of the body.
These may be materially aided. As to how great a relief is
obtained will depend upon how sincerely and how consistently
the body makes these applications:
First, we would begin and have a high colonic irrigation.
This is to purify or cleanse the colon. After at least two
days have another. Thus keep a purifying of the colon, but
in five days have another and unless all mucous is removed
in this operation, then there should be the fourth, purifying
or removing all of the sediment and mucous from the colon
area.
Then begin osteopathically and have the corrections made
in the areas indicated where there are lateral lesions.
This should require not more than about eight to ten such
treatments.
Then as to the diet: Keep closer to those things which are
of the vegetable nature and very mild or easily digested
other foods; fish, or fowl or lamb. No other meats for
the body and these rather in moderation than in quantities.
Do these things and we will find we will remove the sources
of the variation in the pressure. We will establish a better
circulation between lungs, heart, liver and kidneys and we
will gain more strength for the body.
Ready for questions.
(Q) What is cause of almost constant headache?
(A) Pressures in the colon area upon the sympathetic nerve
forces in the area of the 6th, 7th and 8th dorsal.
(Q) Should I go on a diet?
(A) As has been indicated. Do these things if we would
bring better conditions for this body.
We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND
8/29/44 Morning, verbal report on history of his case to
GD on phone: Completely run down, with high blood pressure
on left side and low pressure on right. Ailing for years
- date of onset about 14 years ago; gradually got worse, to
intensity of almost complete nervous distraction. 1. What
is cause of almost constant headache, soreness and complete
fatigue all over body? 2. High blood pressure on left and
low blood pressure on right side? 3. Is there any injury
anywhere in the spinal column? 4. What treatment should be
used to eliminate physical disorders? 5. Should I go on a
diet to aid treatment? 6. Was this same disorder the cause
of four nervous breakdowns from 1930 to 1938? 7. Is the
blood pressure causing weakness in left side?
REPORTS
4/18/46 [
5389]'s letter, briefed by GD: Complete recovery;
patient firmly believes he would have died if the reading had
not located the cause of his trouble, which no doctor before
that had been able to do.
10/08/47 Requested report from Dr. Ober.
10/10/47 Dr. Ober's report: "I treated him over a period of
five months. He obtained temporary relief until a nervous
breakdown last summer - out of work three months - feels
'low' now."
2/08/57 Letter: "Mr. Cayce gave me a reading on my physical
condition, among the very last he gave aside from the ones
given for himself. I received benefit from my reading, as I
followed the reading in diet and treatment."
6/06/57 Ruth LeNoir reported that Mr. [
5389] had asked to be
put on the A.R.E. Prayer Group; he was now in a sanatorium in
Colorado with tuberculosis.
11/27/72 Son requested copy of 5389-1, saying his father is
deceased; his mother is still living, but has lost track of
the reading.
