TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5464]. Now, we find conditions rather serious with this body. Those conditions disturbing the body being of a specific nature, and attach the muco-membranes of the assimilating system in their reflex, or affecting the spinal cord's activity itself. In the reaction, this must either make for distortions of the extremities in their activity, or such concussions in brain as to destroy the locomotion and the activity of the body. If temperature is allowed to increase, this would make for separations of the body-physical and spiritual.
2. In meeting the needs of the conditions, then, in the present - that as has been applied in the reducing of temperature in the alleviating of pressures, has been well, yet does not reduce the temperature for sufficient periods to allow resuscitation to become active; so that the assimilating system is under strain, and nausea occurs at times, without digestion being able to be carried on.
3. With the manipulation we would give those of Atomidine in eight drops three times each day, see? We would also keep those of ice packs or cold packs at the top of head rather than at the base of the spine. We would produce percussion with the manipulation over the liver and the lacteal duct area. This, as we find, will reduce the temperature and give the opportunity for the assimilating and digestive system to supply the proper needs for that as may, unless the excess of infectious forces as are produced in the lymph and the emunctories, override that as may be created in the body. Keep up those of relieving pressures along the spine. Produce percussion over the liver and the pancrean area with those, of course, of the lacteal duct area. Keep the intestinal tract clean. Massage the locomotion area, the brachial plexus and the lumbar plexus, with a weakened solution of the same compound - the Atomidine. This would be ten drops in five drops of water. Do that. That taken internally is eight drops three times each day, in half a glass of water - see? Ready for questions.
4. (Q) How often should manipulations be given?
   (A) About twice each day to keep down the temperature.
5. (Q) Would it be advisable to phone this information or send by air mail?
   (A) Air mail will reach in time.
6. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 7/14/31 Letter from E. P. Brenner, Chiropractor [which may or may not refer to case [5464], since no name was mentioned]:
   "...Edgar, I am taking care of a young man 31 years old, that I would say has Parkinson's Disease. Up to date I have given him 28 adjustments. He has shown a slight improvement during this time. The medical doctors in this surrounding country have given him up and said there was nothing to be done for him, but as I have already stated he has shown some improvement under adjustments, and if there is any way for me to raise $20.00 I am going to have a reading for him, as he is worthy of it. He has always been a hard working boy, attended church and tried to live a life as near right as the average young man. Oh, yes, he is married.
   "The ladies of the Baptist Church in a little town by the name of ..., N.C. are paying his board here in ..., N.C., so that he can take adjustments every day from me. I am giving my services free, but I am so sure if this young man could have a reading so I would know just what to do, it would only be a short time and this man would be well. Now, as I stated before, if it is at all possible for me to raise $20.00 I am going to get one for him. I am writing these ladies about it. Will let you know just as soon as I hear from them.
   "God bless and keep you is my prayer for this wonderful work he is sending through you..."
2. 10/30/31 Wire from Dr. Brenner: "...[5464], room ... Roanoke Rapids Hospital, Roanoke Rapids, N.C. Please give this physical reading at once. Send air mail to me..."

REPORTS

1. GD's note: By including Dr. Brenner's letter of 7/14/31 I may be giving a wrong impression of case [5464] since this may have been an entirely different person and condition. There is no subsequent mention of the case in any of Dr. Brenner's correspondence. He may have reported personally to Mr. Cayce when visiting him in person but there is no record of any such report.
