EC: Yes, we have the body here. Now, we find the body
very good in most respects. There are, however, conditions
existent, physical, that bring distresses to the system at
times - and, as we find, these may be corrected, that these
reactions may be eliminated from the system. While, if
allowed to continue, must overtax the nerve system as
to eventually produce an incoordination to the extent as
to hinder even the full activities OF the physical body,
which it does not at the present time.
In the beginning of this distress, we find there were
pressures produced in the lumbar and sacral, that disturb
the equilibrium to the sympathetic system, as related to
the gland that acts through the whole of the cerebrospinal
system, affecting the body in its nerve reaction from the
base of the brain through the medulla oblongata, and into
the coordination that throws the system out of balance.
In meeting the needs, then, for the body, there must be taken
into consideration the nerve systems and their relation one
to another. When there is the perfect coordination in nerve
reaction, whether from the sympathetic or cerebrospinal, we
will find the correspondent reaction in the voluntary and
involuntary nerve reflexes. Here, where pressure is produced
in this body, we find in the branch end of the cerebrospinal,
and an engorgement of the pineal reflex, and THIS produces
that taxation to the system regarding the sympathetic and
cerebrospinal reaction.
Then, we would correct by those of proper manipulations and
adjustments, those conditions existent in the whole of the
lower end of the spine, applying those of a vibration that
will COORDINATE with the nerve reflexes of the body. Just as
a battery may be charged or discharged, so may the human body
be recharged by the production of coordination in a low form
of battery reaction, or that as may be given through that of
the Radio-Active Appliance given at least once each day, as
the body rests. This will assist in aiding the system to
coordinate throughout the nerve forces, giving as medicinal
properties that will vibrate with same those of the
Mayblossom Bitters - given two drops with the food or in
water once each day to begin with - giving this for five
days, then increase to three drops five days - then increase
to five drops given for five days - and then RELIEVE the
system of same for five days - then beginning with two
drops and repeating same.
Keeping up the manipulations and adjustments throughout the
period. In sixty to ninety days we should find a more nearer
NORMAL, or the changes as will be necessary.
Keep the body in the open as much as possible. Do not
give food values that upset the system. Those should be
preferably of the citrous fruits and of whole cereal grain
and of the vegetables that carry the near balance of food
values for the system. Remembering, there must be kept the
proper alkalin reaction in the body. Do that. Ready for
questions.
(Q) Should the manipulations be given osteopathically?
(A) Manipulations and corrections should be given
osteopathically. These, preferably, should be given each
day, and ADJUSTMENTS made ONLY as the body is able to respond
- or beginning first ONCE each week, gradually, until there
is at least twice or three times each week, until perfect
alignment is made through the cerebrospinal system. RELAXING
the body in the cervical and in the lumbar and sacral
and coccyx - THESE we would re-adjust to their normalcy
- gradually, not all at once.
(Q) How long at a time should the battery be used each day?
(A) For about sixty minutes. Applying same to the wrist and
to the umbilicus, then to ankle and umbilicus, alternating on
sides - or to the sides - see? Well that the Gold be given
at the third week of battery appliance, see?
(Q) What originally produced this pressure in the lumbar and
sacral region?
(A) At or just after birth.
(Q) Could that have been caused by a rupture?
(A) By the pressure as was produced after - this has existed
in the body, you see.
(Q) What is the condition of the tonsils?
(A) With the corrections and with the proper care these are
better left as they are, than of destroying tissue that is
needed in system. Should these become so sympathetic in the
conditions as arise, THEN they may be alleviated or taken
out, but these have their purpose in the system - for the
tonsil aids in the inner functioning of the thyroids.
(Q) Are the tonsils diseased now?
(A) Only sympathetically.
(Q) Should the body have any meat at all?
(A) The juices of meat may be given - not the flesh itself.
(Q) Should he be allowed to run and take plenty exercise, or
would it be better to keep him quiet?
(A) As much outside exercise as the body may have! The more
the better! provided the body is kept, of course - no WET
feet, nor COLD feet - see?
(Q) How about hot baths?
(A) Good!
(Q) Is twice a day too much, fifteen minutes at a time?
(A) No. Well, when such are given, that the body be rubbed
down well with rather coarse cloths, especially along the
spine - see?
Do as we have given and we will find we will bring the
results as desired for this body, [
5428].
(Q) Should he play with other children or be kept by
himself?
(A) Play with other children occasionally, at least. We are
through for the present.

REPORTS
11/21/29 GD's note: [
5428]'s mother brought [
5428] to
Cayce Hospital for treatment by Dr. Grace Berger (osteopath)
"to be treated for Chorea [or St. Vitus Dance] first
apparent
6/10/29 - previous treatment therefore by M.D.,
physiotherapist, nerve specialist."
2/21/30 [
5428]'s Mother's letter in answer to Cayce Hospital
Questionnaire: "...I am sorry I didn't reply to your letter
sooner regarding [
5428], but I was hoping I could have more
encouraging news if I waited a while. I carried out the
suggestions contained in your reading and went faithfully to
an osteopath who has a very fine reputation. The sacroiliac
condition was coming around fine and the doctor was well
pleased but I could see that [
5428] was getting more lame.
The doctor finally said there was some other trouble which he
could not locate and asked for X-rays. Last Saturday I went
to an X-ray specialist and had the pictures and reports sent
to my doctor. We found from the pictures that there is an
entirely different and very serious condition, which the
doctor had not suspected. I am sorry I cannot give you a
better report. Am enclosing $10.00. Will you kindly have
emergency reading at your earliest possible convenience?..."
3/03/30 EC gave the second reading. See
5428-2.
