1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [653]. Now, as we find, there are disturbing conditions in the physical forces of the body. These, as we find, are of specific natures, and the disorders are the contributing causes to those conditions as appear as results or effects of these specific disorders.
2. These, then, are the conditions as we find with this body, [653], we are speaking of:
3. There are the effects of an injury to the muscular forces and to the tissue in the cerebrospinal system, as well as the effect of thickened tissue in the walls of the abdominal region, and when there is extra exercise mental or physical, or any activity that produces a congestion or exposure that makes for such congestion, these - as scar tissue in the thickened portions, of portions where healing has taken place - bring about strains on the activity of the assimilating and eliminating system, and produce such conditions as make it easy for the body to take cold; or not producing that as will throw off or prevent congestion from affecting the muco-membranes of the throat, of the intestinal system, and producing pressures in the alimentary canal in such a manner that makes for slow activity in the hepatic circulation.
4. In these existent conditions, as we find, these come rather as spasmodic reactions, as indicated from over-exercise, over-eating. The colds arise as an effect, and these are not causes but effects of the disorders and the conditions in the system.
5. Unless, as we find, these are corrected, the specific conditions, we will find there will be a continuation of thickening of these tissues in the muscular forces, especially along the left hip and the smaller portion of the back, and through or across the right side to the area in the lacteal region. These will gradually, as the body
653-1 Page 2
grows, become more of constitutional conditions, and may bring many a character of disorder to the body.
6. As we find, these may be corrected in the present, and so stimulated as to make for absorption with a developing body, so that in the course of a few months there may be nearer normalcy, and a normal development of the body physically and mentally.
7. As we will find, these would be first applied in the form of manipulations, osteopathically given, to aright those strained muscular forces along the cerebrospinal system, especially with reference to the locomotary centers both from the lower plexuses in the lumbar and sacral region to those in the upper dorsal-brachial plexus and cervical regions, that there may be an even, easy flow of the blood in its circulation, as well as of the nerve impulses through their various activities.
8. Keep more of an alkalin reaction in the system, and absorption will be more easily taken place in the body.
9. We would also find that it would be well, after every other application of the manipulations and corrections, to apply the violet ray over the cerebrospinal system, that there may be a stimuli to the nerve centers and impulses from the plexus of the nerve centers to carry on in the activity of eliminations as assimilations are taking place; so that these refuse forces from these thickened places or conditions in the intestinal area, in the tautness of the muscular forces in the cerebrospinal system, may be eliminated from the body.
10. The diet would be well to be kept in the more nerve and blood building, but alkalin in its reaction. At least one meal during the day (and preferably the morning) should be of citrus fruit diet, with little else combined with same - unless of rice cakes or the yolk of eggs, or the like, with a little milk or cereal drink.
11. The rest of the foods should carry more of those that will make for blood and nerve building, altering these so that as near as possible there will not be the necessity for the use of cathartics or laxatives to produce a little above normal eliminations. If these are necessary at times, then use those that are of the alkalin reaction - and well also that intestinal antiseptics be taken, that these are cleansed entirely from the system.
12. The manipulations and corrections should be given at least three times each week. Every other treatment apply the violet ray.
13. Ready for questions.
14. (Q) What should be done for breaking out on face?
653-1 Page 3
(A) When these manipulations are given, and the eliminations are carried on normally, these will disappear. They are the effects of poisons being carried back into the system. With these corrections, unless the stimulation of the exterior circulation is done by the electrical forces, the tendency will be for this to increase - but with the use of these, these will disappear - and, we will find, will be carried through their normal channels. These are the effects of poisons in system, as indicated. Relieve these, unless they become of constitutional or of specific disorders in the eliminating system.
15. (Q) What intestinal antiseptic should be used, when taking alkalin laxative? (A) That that is alkalin in its reaction, Lavoris or Glyco-Thymoline.
16. That is all the questions.
17. We are through for the present. Copy to Mother " " Cayce file " " Ass'n file
