IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM the body is very good, considered from
many respects in this way or manner, yet in others we find
to have been the seat or the cause of much of the older
disorder; while these came also, as we find, from the
excessive conditions tending towards those of constipation,
these also - as we find - were produced from the non-activity
of the peristaltic movements throughout the system, and the
body being - as it were - at times so busy, not taking the
precautions or the care, or taking the time for the attending
to those calls or those of the activities that should be from
the general system, allowed conditions to be builded in the
system. This gradually broke down those of the descending
colon activity, until a prolapsus ensued, and a tendency
towards those of the protruding of those forces in the system
as of hemorrhoids, that make for the disorders as FROM which
those secretions are seen as disturb the body at times in
the present. These are from, then, those activities of the
cerebro-spinal nervous system; this existent condition, then,
and that that needs correction, being below - or between
the lower lumbar and the sacral area, and in the coccyx area
also. This tendency also gives rise to those conditions
which become of a nervous nature in the prostrate gland,
and MUST - unless corrected - would a strain physically,
mentally, or of any overtaxation to the body - bring about a
disorder that would be harder to be dealt with; though these
CORRECTIONS in the nervous system, that will produce - or
that produce those pressures - or pressures are produced from
conditions in the nerve system - that would overcome these
tendencies, and those conditions in the lower digestive
system and in the colon itself, as well as those tendencies
that must arise - though they are not so pronounced in the
present - as to the kidney disorders, the activities of
the bladder, or the specific gravity as seen of urine, in
the attempt of the kidneys themselves to care for those
INFLAMMATIONS in the minutia, or in the emunctory portions OF
the lower pelvic portions of the body. Hence these disorders
as appear FROM this condition, a tendency for a sediment at
times in urine; this not of an organic nature, rather that
of a nerve pressure, with conditions produced in that of the
descending colon itself. With the corrections made, then the
pressures NOT removed, allow STILL those effects of a FORM of
prolapsus as occurs, and of the pressures that exist.
Now the reflection from these, are that at times we find the
body - the head, through the lower portion of the head, and
then to the upper portion, early mornings especially, of a
fullness, of a feeling in the eye as of grit or sand, or the
depressions as come from those effects in the system THROUGH
that of inflammation in the lower portion of the body or
torso itself.
In the corrections, this will be necessary - that we would
apply those either of baths, or preferably - as we would
find - of the wet HEAT, see, TO the lumbar, sacral and coccyx
regions, WHEN or BEFORE the CORRECTIONS are made - and we
would make corrections osteopathically. These would be
made at least once each week, though we would have other
treatments for a short period of at least TWICE each week -
see? Then, when these are made - say for two or three weeks,
and a couple of corrections made during the time - then we
would REST for two or three weeks, and then corrections made
again.
Now, in the general physical forces - or as to the organic
conditions in body:
In head and brain forces, these we find very good. There ARE
sympathetic conditions as arise at times, from the tendencies
toward inflammation in those of the glands, kidneys, and
the lower portion of body, that tendency for a swallowing
- fullness in throat, not as of phlegm that occurs - though
this does occur at times, but tendency to try to keep
something down, that does not appear exactly as to what it
may be; a FULLNESS occurs, see - sympathetic reflection only;
not organic disorders in throat, bronchi, lungs or larynx.
In the heart's action, as has been indicated, we have at
times a slowed pulsation and an abnormal pressure. These are
not organic, but rather those of the SYMPATHETIC reflection
from a nervous disturbance as first occurred in the lumbar
and sacral region, and later from disorders as occur from the
activities as removed those that produced the pressure. Now
remove same in the cerebrospinal system, and we will find
we will change the pressure. This, as we will find, we
will best do by occasionally - not too often for this body,
but occasionally have those of the COLONIC irrigations to
relieve the pressure in the colon region, so that - as the
corrections are made in the cerebro-spinal system - these may
REMAIN in their correct order. We will also by same remove
that mucus and that tendency for discharge in the rectum
itself, and in those portions from which the body finds those
inflammations arising. We will find also that the digestion
will be improved. While the body eats a plenty in the
present, yet in the ASSIMILATING of that TAKEN does not
ALWAYS follow that those taken feel or agree just well WITH
the body. This we find will be improved by this removing of
these pressures in the intestinal tract. This will also tend
to make a better coordinating activity with the liver itself,
PROVIDED there is not TOO much of this used - once a month
for two to three months (that is, two to three irrigations),
then REST for the period before they are taken again, see?
and have THIS done by one who understands, and not just
bungles along with it!
In the activities, then, as we find, these will bring about
a near normal condition for this body. Taken in time, as we
will find, will be easily removed, or the response will be
more certain, more sure; but allowed to DRAG along, we will
find there will be re-occurrence of disorder, tendency for
the lower limbs and for the feet to give trouble, tendency
for the heart's action to become more irregular, tendency for
those of the digestive forces to be disordered more and more.
As for the diet, these we would keep a WELL balanced diet.
Now, as we find, as has been indicated by conditions as for
the head itself, there has been a lacking of elements in the
blood supply - or we would not have the pigment in the scalp
and in the portions of the system not REPRODUCING their
cellular forces for the resuscitation of the normalcy for
the body! Hence we will find that, will there be times when
those of turnips, of carrots, and of Irish potatoes are eaten
RAW, there WILL be a STIMULI to this portion of the system,
that with the use of those of crude oil - followed by
cleansing with that of alcohol one to twenty in water and
massaging same with (that is, the scalp we are speaking of,
to be sure) the white vaseline - we will grow hair! Ready
for questions.
(Q) Is Dr. Emil Granet (the son) of 15 East 10th St., N.Y.
City, treating me correctly, or would the Forces suggest
another doctor in N.Y.?
(A) We have given the outline! Now do either one you want!
(Q) Is the trouble localized or throughout the intestines?
(A) We have given the condition as EXISTS! Localized, to be
sure, if we consider that as being the trouble. The TROUBLE
- this is the effect - the EFFECTS are being treated, NOT the
causes!
(Q) Will I become entirely cured, and how long will this
take?
(A) From three to six months following the suggestions as we
have outlined, would be cured.
(Q) Would you recommend Psyllium seed?
(A) We haven't given it yet! If it's necessary we will
give it! We would follow rather with that of a well BALANCED
diet, and altering or changing as necessary. We would keep,
of course, a tendency toward the NON-ACID; not too much
meats, not too much sugar, nor too much of those of
confections - but a well BALANCED diet - see?
(Q) Are all fruits good for me?
(A) These will be found to be very good if well balanced and
taken in moderation, not an excess. Apples, beware of too
many of these or of bananas, though they may be taken at
times in moderation.
(Q) Are the arch supporters I wear helping me? If so, shall
I continue them?
(A) Why not make the corrections and do without the arch
supporters! They will be alright as long as the condition
exists, but they will gradually grow worse unless we make
the corrections in the lumbar and sacral region, as has
been outlined!
(Q) What causes pain in her left leg?
(A) Pressure as is seen in the CERVICALS of the SACRAL.
Now that sounds like a combination of the wrong thing, but
we mean what we say! Here: In these smaller portions of
the sacral themselves, which may be classes as a cervical
reaction - an axis there. These pressures there make for
pains along the locomotaries, for they produce pressures.
Make these correction now as we have given. Be CONSISTENT
WITH that as has been outlined, see? and we will find we
will have a normal condition. Let's treat the CAUSES, and
not so much of the effect! We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND
He had previous readings for his wife [
5610].
REPORTS
8/18/31 EC gave his second reading,
5609-2, at which his wife
[
5610] was present.
10/24/73 Mr. Charles W. Bradshaw wrote verifying treatment
for baldness which he used: "...Growing hair. I could not
find crude oil or Atomidine anywhere, as the readings state
should be used. But Edgar Cayce also mentioned vaseline and
listerine. I could get plenty of these. An oddity here - I
mentioned the Cayce readings to my one brother who had never
lost a hair. He told me he had been using vaseline on his
hair since he was a kid, never lost a hair. When I asked
him why he used vaseline he said that 'I' - (me) had told him
to use it when he was a kid. Me! I never used it myself -
he did - and I grew bald while he kept his hair. Vaguely,
very vaguely, I remembered, way back, telling him to use
vaseline. Ah so! And opps!
"I purchased an electric vibrator and plenty of white
PETROLEUM jelly which is the closest I could get to crude
oil, and I started in. Thirty minutes a day for thirty days
to make up for lost time. I realize this does not conform
to the letter of the readings but I was going to follow the
readings to a letter as soon as I could locate crude oil
and Atomidine. In the meantime I was going to get started
anyway - because I knew that at least the vibrator was
going to stimulate the scalp - plus - there was PETROLEUM
in the jelly, which, if not exact, was a step in the right
direction. I scarcely ever looked at my scalp during this
time because I knew you can't watch hair grow. Either it
comes up or it does not. By golly it came up! Thirty days
later at a distance of eight feet from a mirror I noticed
a dark spot on my front forehead. I thought it was dirt
because I had been working under my car that day. I started
to wash it - and what a feeling of elation when I discovered
it was a small patch of about ten tiny hairs where no hair
had been in fifteen years. That was the beginning. I
realized that I could not vibrate my scalp every single day.
There has to be a rest period somewhere. I stopped for
a week, then made a schedule. Three days in a row, one
day off, a staggered schedule, to include rest periods.
Shampoos, listerine, every so often. As I said it was not
an exact Cayce follow through because I was unable to get the
exact ingredients. I have been using this staggered schedule
for twenty two months now and the hair has been coming in
very slowly, but it is coming in. I have long hairs now
where I had no hairs before and a one eighth inch of fuzz all
over the head. The fuzz has come up only in the past four
months or so. I am fifty two years old and I consider this
a fantastic development."
