1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - [2200]. Now, we find there are abnormal conditions with this body. These, as we find, have to do with the nervous forces of the body and the effect that is created in the system from these pressures existent in the body, as WELL as we find disorders that are produced by applications that have been made for the disorders.
2. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [2200] we are speaking of, present in this room:
3. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we find shows the effect of sedimentary conditions that have been administered for the body, these acting as an effect of bromides in the system, producing the inability of the blood supply to give that full virile force necessary in the full replenishing of the system. This rather the effect of applications, than the conditions that cause the disorder; yet these impoverishments must eventually, unless corrected, bring disorders in the physical functioning that will be hard to cope with, or will be beyond repair; for the deterioration must eventually set in by continued impoverishments.
4. IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEMS THEMSELVES, do we find the greater disorder or distress. In times back we find there was an accident to the body that produced a lesion in the coccyx. Here we find a seat or a cause which has been heretofore overlooked. While lesions have resulted from same in the lower lumbar, in the lower dorsal, and with the combined conditions that have been applied, we find SYMPATHETIC lesions in the whole of the cervical region. This produces, through these pressures, those spasmodic conditions to the reaction between the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal system - which has been termed a MENTAL disorder. The reaction is not mental, but a physical - that acts to, or on, the mental - so that the reflexes that come through the sympathetic system are those that prevent a normal impulse from their reaction, causing that pressure, that condition

in the lower end of brain proper that makes for the tendency of the body to move, to react in a wondering manner, to make as for responses of those forces in self of first condemnation in self, then as of that as to REMOVE those conditions from self. These come through, then, as repressions in first the sympathetic nerve system, from the lower lumbar plexus to the sacrals and coccyx, then to those activities in the glands themselves that secrete for the functioning through the pineal, and making for an engorgement and an inactivity or an ungoverning of the supply of impulse, as well as blood supply to the brain itself proper. Not dementia praecox, nor even softening of tissue. Unless these conditions are changed in the impulses TO the nerve system this deterioration must eventually set in.
5. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ORGANS THEMSELVES from these variations, we find these are functioning - UNDER the condition - near normal, as do the reflexes at times from the whole system - but to remove or to change the vibratory forces of the body we will find that those pressures should be relieved that exist in the coccyx, the lumbar, the sacral, and coordinating those of the cervical forces that make for proper impulses through the brain forces. This may be done through the removal of the pressure in an OSTEOPATHIC ADJUSTMENT manner, provided those properties are carried in system that will replenish for the nerve energy itself, that will work with and not against a resuscitating or rejuvenating of the system. These medicinal properties would be better in the Mayblossom Bitters [See 543-5 formula typed below], that act directly with the nerve system itself. The dosage of this, as we would find, would be from three to four teaspoonsful each day.
6. Each evening we would also, as the body rests, use those vibrations that come from the Radio-Active Appliance, applying it to the base of the brain first, then to the ankle, in each anode - see? Apply the one first to the 1st and 2nd cervical, then to the ankle. First to the right, then to the left. This we would give for thirty minutes each evening.
7. The manipulations should be given at least three times each week, and one of these an adjustment.
8. As for the diet, keep away from those that are hard of digestion. Those foods that are nearer or more of the nerve building.
9. Do that, and we will bring - in three to six months - a near normal body.
10. Keep as much sunshine as possible, and companionship of
2200-1 Page 3
a nature that makes for the uplifting and brighter side, creating within that mental impression of the whole replenishing and building body that which lives within, that may aid self most.
11. Ready for questions.
12. We are through for the present. Copy to Mother " " Ass'n office " " Research Department " " Cayce Hospital (1/20/31 GD's note: In re Mayblossom Bitters (or Passion flower Fusion) as mentioned in above reading, this prescription was given in Case 543-5 on 11/10/30 as follows: Take 1 gallon of the vine, leaf, fruit, flower, of Maypop. To this add 2 gallons of distilled water. Reduce by slow boiling to 1 quart. Strain, and then add 6 ounces of 85% alcohol, with 1 ounce Tincture or Elixir of Wild Ginseng. The dose would be 4 times each day, half an hour before the meals and half an hour before retiring; and retire EARLY enough for the proper reactions of body through the evening or night.)
