Edgar Cayce Readings on Migraine

 
[NOTE: The following groups of Edgar Cayce readings resulted from a search of the Complete Edgar Cayce Readings on CD-ROM (DOS version) using "migraine" as the search descriptor.  The search contains a couple of readings in which Edgar Cayce stated that the individual did not have migraine, but that the condition could become migraine.  Also, several readings may involve headache that do not meet the current (International Headache Society - IHS) criteria for migraine.]

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes. As we find here, there are disturbances that will require a long period of varied treatments, if there is to be any permanent or greater mental aid. For here we find at birth there weren't the precautions, nor were there the cares taken in tieing the navel center, and these have caused cross-currents through the body, so that from the frontal solar plexus all forms of disturbances arise, especially as the various cycles of change come into the body.

3. As is seen, there are periods when, with the least activity, or a great deal of pressure, it produces that called palpitation of the heart; disturbance of the vision; the feet are disturbed. At regular periods the menstrual flow is in disorder, causing a great deal of distress to the body.
    There is very poor eliminations at times; inactivity to the alimentary canal.

4. As we find, to bring corrections we would use the short wave, about three amperes. Attach about twice a week. One time use the attachment in the solar plexus, the 9th dorsal; the other to be, that same week, on the abdominal area, even over the center itself, though it will cause a great deal of distress, possibly headache, or aching in the feet for at least three or four periods when these are used, but this is the manner in which the nerve centers that center there, may be gradually brought to coordinate, though they may make extremes in some of the reactions in the body.

5. Be mindful that there are precautions as to the directions that all these currents flow, especially when the application of the short wave is made to the navel or umbilical center, that that which directs the flow to the heart's activity is not stressed, but that which directs the flow to the lower
portions of the body. These we find, offer better reactions.

6. Osteopathic adjustments will aid. These are to be relaxing to the centers regularly where there is the closer connection between the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nervous systems, as in the 3rd cervical; the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 9th dorsal; the axis lumbar areas, and throughout the sacral region.

7. These we would do, if we would bring better conditions for this body.

8. We are through with this reading.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, as we find, the tendencies here are for the accumulations of drosses through the hindrances which have been experienced by an accident, or a pressure as produced upon the areas in the sacral and ileac plexus.

3. These have brought about those tendencies for these segmentations, so that the obstructions in circulation bring to the head accumulations, and thus the violent character of headaches experienced at times.

4. These, as we find, should be dissipated and, unless they are, may grow to become constitutional or turn towards what is sometimes called migraine headaches.

5. These are not true migraine, rather are they the thickening of tissue which causes the pressure over the eyes, from the particular area indicated in the lumbar, and where the brush end of the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nerve reflex, from the 3rd cervical, branch into the area.

6. We would first have two or three low - not higher than three amperes - of the short-wave or radio-active-wave of electrical treatments. These should be over the areas of the lumbar and sacral.

7. Then follow these with osteopathic treatments, though give about two or three of the electrical treatments to one of the adjustments or stimulations for increasing the normal balance of circulation throughout the rest of the system.

8. These, as we find, followed through consistently, persistently may rid these disturbances, as well as producing conditions where improvements will be in the general status of this body, [5285].

9. Ready for questions.

10. (Q) Any specific treatment for the eyes?

(A) The short-wave and the adjustments which are to be made will aid. The adjustments will include the upper dorsals and throughout the cervical areas, including the nerves and energies which are to be stimulated or relaxed about the head and neck, see?

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5200].

3. As we find, there are disturbances which may at times prove very serious, very aggravating and make for a great deal of anxiety.

4. These, as we find, arise from conditions which exist along the alimentary canal. The greater portion of this exists in the lower portion of the colon, as some of the sphincter centers, from nobules or a plethora gathering lymph and blood, and thus causing or producing hemorrhages in those areas; bringing great distress by the very nature of their secretions and activities.

5. As we find, there should be used this as an injection into the rectal area, and when used the body should lie for at least 30 minutes to an hour with the feet much higher than the head, or raising not just the feet but the lower portion of the abdominal area, see? Use this: To one ounce of Glycerine, add 2 drops of Carbolic Acid; mix thoroughly, then add to this 2 ounces of Nujol or Usoline. Divide this into 2 quantities, after being thoroughly mixed. Use one as an injection, using an ear syringe to inject same.

6. Then after a period of ten days, repeat this.

7. These, we find, will allay the disturbing conditions.

8. Also take internally, about 3 times each week, Yellow Saffron Tea, or the Spanish Saffron, though the Yellow American Saffron would be preferable, as it will be more uniform. Take a pinch between thumb and forefinger, put into a teacup, fill with boiling water. Cover and let stand for thirty to thirty-five minutes, strain, cool and drink.

9. Also, once during each day do take a pinch of Elm Bark. This should be prepared much in the same manner, though this should be let stand for at least an hour and a half, cool and drink.

10. This, as we find, if it is kept regularly, will alleviate those disturbances with this body.

11. Ready for questions.

12. (Q) What is the cause of the trouble?
(A) As has been indicated. This is as a forming of a tumor, but of a lymph tumor in the lower portion of the colon area.

13. (Q) Is it karmic, or is it due to something in my life this time?
(A) These come from too much highly seasoned foods.

14. (Q) What is it that I need to get right within myself in order to be healed?
(A) Take these corrections physically and then apply self from the spiritual angle; for all healing must come from the divine within. Know that ye meet yourself and those errors of physical, mental or spiritual as indicated. This is a condition which is more physical than mental or spiritual, but the spiritual attitude keep in that way, as indicated in Exodus 19:5, and as given in the admonitions of the 30th of Deuteronomy. We will find there will bring the awareness of thy oneness with Creative Forces, or God.

15. (Q) What is the cause of the migraine headaches, which usually precede the rectal hemorrhages?
(A) The conditions in colon. That is why these injections are to be given to heal the prolapsus in the ascending colon.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, just stirring. We have the body here [5111].

3. As we find, there are disorders which are gradually growing more and more disturbing to the body. For the lesions in the areas of the 6th and 7th dorsals make hindrances, more and more, in the activity of the lacteal duct, in the lower portion or in the left side and lower portion of the jejunum.
    As these cause more and more lesions to form, or adhesions, greater and greater become the headaches and nausea and the weakness that comes with this, causing greater and greater
pressures upon both the sympathetic nervous system and (is beginning to make pressures upon) the organs of elimination, the kidneys and bladder.

4. As we find, we would use these alternately: that is, one day use Castor Oil packs over the abdomen, sufficiently large to cover the area of the lower portion of the liver, and extend to the caecum and to the lower portion of the left side also. Make the Packs out of three or four thicknesses of flannel and saturate with Castor Oil, and when this is applied over the portions indicated, use the electric pad. Have a good size electric pad, not just a small one. Keep this on for at least one hour.

5. The next day apply Glyco-Thymoline, not Castor Oil, and use cotton cloths instead of the flannel. Apply over the same areas as the Castor Oil Packs.

6. After this has been given for an hour, do have a gentle massage. Sponge off first with tepid soda water. Use about a teaspoonful of baking soda in a quart of tepid water and sponge off the area covered with the oil. Then massage with cocoa butter. This massage should be gentle but deep.

7. After these have been taken, two Castor Oil Packs and two Glyco-Thymoline Packs, have a high colonic irrigation scientifically given.

8. Rest from these for two weeks, then repeat, and also have another colonic irrigation.

9. Though this has been long-standing, the second series should eliminate the sources. This may reoccur, but one of the series should eliminate sources. After each of these Packs, if it is necessary, give the massage to the body.

10. It would be well during the second series of packs to have osteopathic manipulations. These should not be adjustments, but relaxing treatments, from the 1st cervical to the end of the coccyx, using the extremities as levers in the exercise of the abdominal areas, stretching the arms up, pulling the limbs and holding up and twisting out.

11. These will aid.

12. Do that.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5052].

3. As we find while there are many conditions that are very good, there are those that cause a great deal of disturbance to the body, and become very aggravating at times.

4. These as we find arise from a condition that exists through the alimentary canal, especially as part of the circulation in the colon. From the pressure there arises the periodic headaches that are the source of the general nervous disturbance in the body.

5. These as we find may be removed. They are the sources of those that are at times called the types of headaches which refuse to respond to any of the ordinary treatments, and will become constitutional unless there is something done about it.

6. As we find we would have the application once or twice a week of Castor Oil Packs. If these could be given regularly for several days, it might be more easily eliminated. But when it is practical, at least twice a week, apply over the abdomen, and especially the caecum, and extending up the right side to the gall duct area, Castor Oil Packs. Keep them on for at least one hour or one and one-half hours at the time. Cover this with an electric pad when it has been covered so that it doesn't soil the linens from the oil. Make the pack with two or three thicknesses of flannel, preferably old flannel; saturate the flannel, not just pour on, but saturate the flannel with the Castor Oil.

7. The next day taken internally at least 2 tbsp. of olive oil.

8. Each time following the application of the oil packs, massage the body along the spine, especially the areas from the lumbar axis to that area between the shoulders, with cocoa butter; massage this thoroughly for at least fifteen to twenty minutes, and let all the cocoa butter that the body will absorb be rubbed into same.

9. This as we find, if it is followed, will relieve the sources of this disturbance.

10. Ready for questions.

11. (Q) Is this connected with the foot trouble which has recently developed, and what causes this?
(A) This is, as has been indicated, a part of the condition. Massage from the lumbar axis. Foot trouble is a reflex pressure on the nerves that lead to the brain through the nerves of the sympathetic system to the cerebrospinal center.

12. (Q) Should the Olive Oil be taken the second day of the packs, or after every pack?
(A) Should be taken after each pack, the next day after the pack is given. Cleanse the portions with a weak solution of soda water, then massage after each pack also. Use cocoa butter in the massage, see? Do that and we will rid the conditions in this body.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. As we find, these conditions have gradually grown much worse as the impactions in the colon area have added to the congestions in the liver and gall duct. These increase the headaches, the sick headaches and nausea, hard headaches. These, as we find, are not migraine but they may become such unless measures are taken.

3. We would continue the sedatives occasionally until there has been the opportunity for the activities from these treatments, but it is better to take three to four aspirins than to take even one dose of the other properties that have been taken. For those that are so much of the codeine are increasing the activities in the gall duct area.

4. First, we would begin by having a high colonic irrigation. Don't try to give too much at once or it will become too severe for the body. Have these at least ten days apart until all the mucous is cleansed from the colon. To each gallon of water, body temperature, use a level teaspoonful of baking soda and a heaping teaspoonful of table salt, thoroughly dissolved before the water is injected.

5. In the last water use two tablespoonsful of Glyco-Thymoline to the gallon of rinse water, body temperature.

6. Continue these regularly until all the mucous is out of the system.

7. After the first colonic, begin taking Castor Oil Packs for an hour and a half each day for three days in succession each week - the same three days each week. Apply these over the liver and gall duct and extend to the caecum on the right side. For the engorgement in the colon is upon the ascending and a portion of the transverse colon.

8. After the first Pack has been given, begin taking every three hours about half to a teaspoonful of Olive Oil. Don't take it during the night but during the day, or if the body is awake at night, take it at the regular periods, throughout the whole three-day period of using the packs.

9. On the third day, after the last of the Packs, have a very good massage. If this is impractical, do use the electrically driven vibrator, which the body may apply to itself. Use the cup applicator. Let this be across the area of the diaphragm and over the liver, down and across the groin and lower portion of the abdomen and as far around on the back as possible. It would be better for this to be applied by someone else, though the body could do it for itself.

10. Leave off the applications, then, until the next week. Then have the Packs again for three days, also the Olive Oil being taken internally, followed by the massage at the end of the three-day period.

11. Repeat this procedure several times and we will find that we will remove the cause of these disturbances for this body. Thus we will get farther and farther away from the headaches and the distresses.

12. As fast as possible, leave off the sedatives.

13. Ready for questions.

14. (Q) Is there a slight tumor on the spinal cord?
(A) No. There are some subluxations but these are not tumors.

15. (Q) What is the swelling and stiffness in my right thumb?
(A) The poisons in the body, lack of proper eliminations. Thus the colonic irrigation at the beginning of the treatments. Do as indicated and we will make better conditions.

16. (Q) Any advice regarding the diet?
(A) Do not take fats or oils; that is, fats such as greases, during the period of these applications, especially. Do increase the amount of green vegetables. Do use a great deal of liquids, but not so much as to cause gas through the abdominal area.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [4023].

3. As we find, there are disturbances which prevent the better physical functioning of this body. These under the existent conditions, unless changes are wrought, must gradually grow to cause other combinations that would become more and more disturbing or distressing to the body.

4. We find that these began some time back when there was poor eliminations manifested in the body. While some conditions have been bettered at times these have left in portions of the colon the disturbing conditions that constantly - when there is an activity of the body on the feet or moving about to any extent - cause what has been termed migraine headache or pressures upon the 5th nerve; so as to cause, as it were, all characters of nerve tension through head and face, teeth - or in gums, sinus, soft tissue of face and head.

5. Also from these disturbances in the colon there are diabetic tendencies, or there is the inability of the body to control the activities of sugars taken into the body.

6. The use of sedatives only aggravates the varied disturbances produced in the body by pressures upon the nerves produced from the plethoric condition in the ascending colon.

7. Hence the pressures or fullness at times experienced by the body in the right side of the lower portion of the abdomen, extending at times almost across the body at the diaphragm area, or across the colon.

8. These, as we find, being of longstanding, will require patience and persistence and a consistent effort on the part of the body, if there would be any permanent help of a nature other than merely palliatives. This will require serious effort of series after series then, of such applications as may be indicated, that will aid in alleviating and correcting the sources of the disturbance.

9. We would begin first with a series of colonic irrigations. These should be given scientifically, and in the first series should be some two weeks or more apart, being kept up until there in no mucous indicated in the stool or discharge as these are given.

10. Have the water body temperature and to each gallon put at least a heaping teaspoonful of baking soda and a heaping teaspoonful of table salt, thoroughly dissolved.

11. In the last water injected, as the rinse water for the colonic, use at least two tablespoonfuls of
Glyco-Thymoline to the gallon of water, body-temperature.

12. We would also use the Radio-Active Appliance for an hour to two hours each day, whenever there is the recurrence of the pain in the face and head. The attachment plates are to be kept very clean, being polished with the emery paper before and after attaching. Do prepare the Appliance in the ice about twenty minutes before it is attached to the body. Do apply the same anode or plate first each time. Alternate the attachments in the regular manner indicated, being sure to keep these intact.

13. Instead of using so much insulin; this can be gradually diminished and eventually eliminated entirely if there is used in the diet one Jerusalem artichoke every other day. This should be cooked only in Patapar paper, preserving the juices and mixing with the bulk of the artichoke, seasoning this to suit the taste. The taking of the insulin is habit forming. The artichoke is not habit forming, not sedative-producing in the body as to cause accumulations of poisons as do sedatives; though it will be necessary to take a sedative when there are the attacks, but take a hypnotic rather than a narcotic - only under the direction, however, of a physician. Gradually decrease the quantity of this sedative as the Appliance, with the series of the colonic irrigations, begins to produce a different reaction in the body.

14. There will possibly occur no feeling from the use of the Appliance, except the feeling of being sleepy. Do go to sleep when this occurs. When the Appliance is used, let this period be devoted to prayer and meditation - not as a period for planning the day's work or other activities, but as a period of resting and repeating the 23rd Psalm or the Lord's prayer, or both. Let the meditation end ever with these thoughts, but in the entity's own words:

LORD, USE ME IN THE WAY AND MANNER IN WHICH I MAY BE A BETTER
CHANNEL AND OF A GREATER SERVICE TO THEE IN THE EARTH, NOW.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes. Here we have disturbances that are rather of unusual natures. In many respects the conditions here resemble migraine headaches, yet these reach such proportions at times that there is the lapse of memory, that there is then the incoordination in certain areas where the
imaginative and the retentive system are disordered, or so disturbed as to bring these lapses.

3. We find that these are materially aided, but there have been administrations that in some respects have helped, and in others made the cure worse than the disease.

4. As in most conditions of the nature of migraine or so-called headaches, the cause is in the colon - where there are patches of adhesions of fecal forces to the walls of the intestine, causing activities that come in general cycles. These may come at times regularly, almost so that you could set this by your clock at times; for it is as the regularity of the system itself.

5. We would regularly use high colonic irrigations; not attempting to remove all the disturbance here at one treatment but gradually. In the first waters injected, use alkaline Petrolagar - a tablespoonful to each quart of body temperature water - keeping this well stirred while the colonic is being given; rather have the water just one degree below body temperature.

6. In the last gallon of rinse water, use two tablespoonsful of Glyco-Thymoline to the half a gallon of water, - or a tablespoonful to each quart of water but use as much as a gallon. This, too, should be near body temperature.

7. Possibly eighteen of such colonics should be given, not too often in the beginning - and do not use them without the Petrolagar being used in the first waters injected and the Glyco-Thymoline in the last waters.

8. After each colonic, give the body a massage, not only for the abdominal area but all over the body and especially massaging thoroughly the abdominal area. Use this combination of oils:

Peanut Oil.................2 ounces,
Olive Oil..................2 ounces,
Lanolin (liquefied)......1/4 ounce.

9. Use the Radio-Active Appliance to cause the body to sleep of evening. If this is left on over night, don't worry about it. If after the first application or two there is the tendency for this to irritate the body, take it off after using it for an hour - but it will aid in distributing or equalizing circulation throughout the body.

10. In the diet, while predigested or semi-liquid foods must be taken often, let these not be all; for there will gradually be a change in the effect created throughout the alimentary canal - with these treatments suggested. For the time being we will still have some periods of the violent headaches and one or two periods of the lapses of memory. Yet if these applications are kept consistently and persistently we may bring better conditions and material aid for this body.

11. Ready for questions.

12. (Q) Will the treatment suggested also remove the spells of depression?
(A) This is the source of them - as indicated - the toxic forces or poisons, and the lapses, when there are those tendencies for over-anxiety and the feeling sorry for self. Feel sorry for someone else, not for self! Plenty of individuals in much worse fix than the entity! Try to do something about it, not merely in just thinking about it, but doing something materially - and it'll help you as much as or more than it will help those you try to help, though you may minister to their lacking in the better balance.

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures, answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes. Here we find some complications - the effects of or the beginning of migraine headaches. Most of these, as in this case, begin from congestions in the colon. These cause
toxic conditions to make pressures on the sympathetic nerve centers and on the cerebrospinal system. And these pressures cause the violent headaches, and almost irrational activities at times.

3. These, as we find, should respond to colonic irrigations. But first, we would x-ray the colon, and we will find areas in the ascending colon and a portion of the transverse colon where there are fecal forces that are as cakes.

4. There will be required several full colonic irrigations, using salt and soda as purifiers for the colon; and we will find that these conditions will be released. The first cleansing solution should have two level teaspoonsful of salt and one level teaspoonful of soda to the gallon of water, body temperature. Also in the rinse water, body temperature, have at least two tablespoonsful of Glyco-Thymoline to the quart and a half of water.

5. Also we would use the Radio-Active Appliance each day for at least an hour, letting this be the period for meditation and study for the analyzing of self. Keep the attachment plates very clean, polishing them with the emery paper each time before attaching to the ankle and the wrist, and polishing them each time when taking them off.

6. Do have the osteopathic adjustments to relax the areas in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervical, in the 6th dorsal, and in the lumbar axis.

7. Do these and we should bring help for this body.

8. Ready for questions.

9. (Q) Is any of this trouble due to allergy?
(A) Some of it is due to allergy, but what is allergy? These are the effects of the imagination upon any influences that may react upon the olfactory or the sympathetic nerves. If we will cleanse the system, as we find, we should bring better conditions. Do the things indicated here.

10. (Q) What mental factor is responsible for the disturbance in the subject's head?
(A) Those pressures, as indicated, between sympathetic and cerebrospinal system, and these arise from the condition in the colon. X-ray it [the colon] and you'll find it.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, Colonel [3329]. (Mighty easy to tell him what he is doing!)

3. In analyzing the conditions here, we find that there are many things to be taken into consideration - the activities, the thoughts and the purposes. To most individuals these oft appear to be things apart, but when there is a disturbance of the nature existing here these must all be taken into consideration if there would be real relief for the body.

4. For, when there are any types of headaches (and they may arise from many sources) there is distress somewhere in the physical being of the body that is the source of the cause of same. One may have a type of headache from a stomach ailment, another may be from poor digestion or poor eliminations; and these apparently cause pressures in varied portions of the head - or the reflex nerves of the brain center itself.

5. Here we have a type that is sometimes called migraine, or that really means "we don't know the source of same."

6. In this particular body we find the combination of disturbances. These are more severe when there is an overanxiety about any emotional influence in the experience (in this body), whether conscious or unconscious, or in those periods when something aggravates the body in its mental activity. These arise, then, from a condition existing in this body bordering on the pancreas, on the activity of the spleen upon the body.

7. When such conditions occur, the body will find, by the application of the hand on the body that there is a cold area just across the diaphragm, as compared to the rest of the body.

8. The expression in the nerve reflexes we find associated with certain ganglia in the cerebrospinal system, where the sympathetic nerves and the nerves of the central nervous system coordinate. In this particular body, these occur from the 6th to the 8th dorsal. These, then, are the areas where stimulation is needed for the association or coordination, for the relieving of those reflexes, or those pressures that cause reflexes in the brain centers themselves; so as to relieve these tensions in this body.

9. But the sources of these pressures arise from the conditions in the colon and in the caecum area.

10. Then, in going about to remove these pressures, - we would have osteopathic treatments and colonic irrigations. Because these conditions have been existent with the body for a long period, there will be required a series of these treatments periodically - if we would keep these coordinations in the areas to prevent the reacting upon reflexes of the nerve forces that cause these disturbances for the body.

11. Remove these pressures in the colon by high colonic irrigations. Keep these up, though it may bring on a mild attack during the first or second period. Keep these up until all of the mucous is entirely removed, for this is the source of the pressure - in a part of the caecum area. These colonics in the beginning should be given not more than fifteen days apart, until five or six have been given. And these must be scientifically given, not a "slap dab" job. For, these are conditions where the special areas in the caecum center are to be purified.

12. Continue also occasionally to relax and stimulate the centers in the cerebrospinal system that supply nerve energies to the areas through pancreas and the spleen area as it connects with same along the whole alimentary canal, to the areas outlined. These treatments should be given osteopathically or neuropathically, and be given about twice a week until ten or twelve have been given. Then they may be made farther apart. Or go for two or three weeks without any, an then
have another series.

13. Do these and we should stimulate the activity to refrain from these headaches. For, we will not only remove the causes but we will supply energies from the body to replace these with normal reactions.

14. Of course, foods have their effect. Keep away from too much sweets, or mixed fruits or candies - for this body.

15. In the activities mentally, keep optimistic - even when everything goes wrong.

16. Do that.

17. Ready for questions.

18. (Q) Should this treatment be started right away?
(A) We would start the treatment in the early spring season, - as in March and April. Remember, we all move by cycles, you see.

19. (Q) Does each body have its individual cycle?
(A) Each body has its individual cycle and vibration. Do these, and we are going to find we will remove causes and have relief.

20. We are through with this reading.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3326].

3. As we find, while the body is in the developing stages, the sources of the conditions to which the body becomes allergic in the digestive system should be looked for - that deal with all migraine headaches.

4. So, this information might be used universally as to the sources of such, if it would be accepted. For, here we find such in its beginnings, and it is in the digestive system, causing - through a state of circulation - an inflammation in the connections of the intestinal tract through which blood and nerve supply bring nutriment and activity to these portions of the body.

5. Thus these conditions taken in these beginnings may be eradicated entirely from the system; but the taking of sedatives of any form only adds fire to the condition. True, it may ease for the moment, but it requires continued excesses of same that involve the gastric flow even of other portions of the system. However, if the correct applications are made, the causes of the condition may be removed.

6. Here, with this body, it would require sufficient colonic irrigations, scientifically given, to keep the colon cleansed for a period sufficient for reaction of the body energies themselves in supplying nutriment to the folds in the colon itself.

7. This extends and becomes much more active in the jejunum (this is speaking universally now, not in this individual case) but its beginnings are in the area (as in this particular body) of the caecum - where the jejunum empties into the colon for further digestion and absorption by body forces.

8. Hence with this body, to be sure, throughout these periods keep away from excesses of sweets, especially chocolate and any sedimentary forces (such as brans or as raisins). Prunes will work just the opposite, for these carry another form of activity to the walls of the system itself. It would be well to include prunes in the diet, if they are cooked - or even fresh. Plums of all natures, then, are very well to be taken.

9. Certain forms of apples are well, but most of these for this body through these periods should be cooked.

10. Water cress, especially, should be taken - and these raw; including celery and lettuce; at times carrots. All of these grated and combined with the gelatin would be much better for the body.

11. Do drink plenty of water, at least six to eight glasses of water each day.

12. Do have sufficient enemas, scientifically given, to cleanse all mucous from the body. This may be done each time the colonic is given. So put them about ten days to two weeks apart, and there should be required at least four or five of these.

13. During that same period, relax the body osteopathically; with special reference to reducing a lesion that exists between the 6th and 7th dorsal.

14. Do these, being mindful of the diet, and we will correct conditions for this body. These are the sources of migraine headaches.

15. Ready for questions.

16. (Q) Is milk one of the foods that affects this condition? (She has not had any for about six months, but I would like her to go back to it, if possible.)
(A) Depends upon the combinations with which it is taken. If with wheat germ, - that is, even puffed oats, puffed rice or puffed wheat, and wheat germ with it, - milk may be taken; also with oatmeal that is cooked a long time, not the oats cooked only a few minutes - that isn't very good for anyone. These are much better if they are of the whole grain and not rolled or so treated chemically as to cause them to cook easily. These whole grain cereals may be taken with milk in same.

17. (Q) Are the attacks due to some emotional reaction?
(A) We have given as to what are the sources. If there will be done these things outlined, you can correct the condition. If you keep taking shots or pills, you will have it the rest of your life.

18. We are through with this reading.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [3325].

3. Here, as we find, there are incoordinations between the eliminating channels of the body. Often the poisons that should be eliminated through alimentary canal have become part of the eczema condition; not true eczema but a rash over portions of the body that becomes very terrifying and irritating.

4. These conditions are gradually causing torpidity in the liver, and also a kidney disturbance. Thus we have painful joints, pain in the extremities and even in the muscular forces of the back, the shoulders and neck. This is a form or type of neuritis, or the inflammation of the nerves, by the pressure of the toxic forces and poisons that are being carried on through the circulatory system.

5. Also these conditions, as indicated at times, cause accumulations about those centers and in the active principles of the organs of the sensory system. Hence, unless great changes are made, there will come hindrances to the sense of smell, of hearing, and pains in the eyes, and affecting the taste and the like. These are conditions respecting which the body should be warned. Thus the character or nature of changes that should be brought about.

6. Three days each week, for at least an hour each day, we would apply hot Castor Oil Packs over the liver and the caecum area. These should extend along the right side from the area close in the crotch on the right side, up over the area of the ascending colon, and to the area over the liver. Apply these warm and then apply an electric pad, low heat.

7. On the evening of the third day, after the third Pack has been used, take internally at least a tablespoonful of Olive Oil. Then rest. Follow this procedure for three consecutive days each week, for at least three to four weeks.

8. Of course, this will irritate the condition through the skin area. Powder the skin with stearate of zinc powder carrying balsam. This will keep down irritation.

9. After the second or third week it will begin to disappear, as the system is cleansed.

10. After the third week (not before) have a high colonic irrigation scientifically or professionally given. For such colonics, use a salt and soda solution, the proportions being a heaping teaspoonful of table salt and a level teaspoonful of baking soda thoroughly dissolved in a gallon of water body temperature. In the last gallon of rinse water dissolve at least a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline.

11. Then we would begin taking Mullein Tea, prepared in this manner: In an enamel or glass container (as a china teapot or the like) put one dram (by weight) of dried Mullein, and pour a pint of boiling water over it. Let this set for at least thirty minutes. Then strain off and drink at least a quarter of a pint of it each day.

12. In the diet, - do not take certain of combinations. Do not eat potatoes and white bread and such, at the same meal. No two of such things should be taken at the same meal. Do not take citrus fruits and cereals at the same meal, though both of these should be taken - but not on the same day.

13. Do have plenty of sea foods. These should include shell fish as well as other fish, however, but those that have excessive quantities of iodine (as sea foods) that may be absorbed through the system for better glandular circulation.

14. Occasionally, - that is, two mornings in succession each week (and the same two mornings each week), take internally one drop of Atomidine in half a glass water before breakfast.

15. Do these and we will find bettered conditions for this body.

16. Ready for questions.

17. (Q) What can be done for bad scalp condition (which doctors do not seem to be able to diagnose - which is also very uncomfortable under the nails on both hands and feet).
(A) These applications as we have indicated are to take care of the whole condition existent with the body. For the specific irritation in head or scalp, apply locally the DDD prescription to allay the itching.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3169].

3. There is a great deal of disturbance in the physical forces of the body, that causes quite an aggravation to the body. Yet as we find, if there would be a change in attitude of the body toward life and its relationships to things around it, we might find a great deal of difference.

4. To be sure, these are pathological conditions; and, of course, there can oft be made a great deal of excuse for anyone suffering with intense headaches; especially those as here - that involve the 5th nerve; or as they become what are called migraine headaches.

5. We find that these areas primarily form disturbances in the cerebrospinal system, that - through a long period of time - have builded up those conditions which, with any aggravation to the imaginative or sympathetic nervous system, discharge, as it were, superabundance of energies that cause the pressures on the side and through portions of the temple and the head nerves themselves.

6. Hence the correct mental and spiritual attitude, as has been suggested, would be most necessary if we were to rid the body of these disturbances.

7. Not merely saying "I would be patient, I would be kind, I would show kindness, brotherly love and patience," but BEING such in the relationships to every form of condition that arises, or with every individual, in the experience of the body.

8. We would also use mechanical means, osteopathically administered; in attempting to stimulate any center by a gentle relaxing of the centers especially where there are the greater connections
between sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems; as in the coccyx area, 4th lumbar, 9th, 10th and
11th dorsal, brachial centers 1st, 2nd and 4th dorsal - and throughout the cervical area RELAX the body.

9. We would give those at least twice a week.

10. Soon after each osteopathic treatment is given relax the body thoroughly with the use of the Radio-Active Appliance. When this is attached, let this be used by the body as its period of meditation and prayer. These should not be merely words but experienced within self, experience them to DO them!

11. FATHER, GOD! HERE AM I, SEEKING TO KNOW THY WAY WITH ME, AND HOW I - AS THY SERVANT - MAY DO AND BE THAT THOU WOULD HAVE ME BE. USE ME, OH, GOD, AS THY SERVANT, AS THY OWN CHILD. FOR, I SEEK AND CLAIM THE RELATIONSHIP PROMISED IN JESUS, THE CHRIST.

12. And do it! Not merely by the repeating of these words, but analyze thy life. And we will find that the use of every form of those things that have been helpful will change, and not be as necessary in the body.

13. When it is necessary to use the injections for the headaches, for the first few months, do so. They are not habit forming unless the body wholly, solely, depends on same.

14. The lenses for the eyes would be well to keep when necessary to use the eyes the more.

15. Ready for questions.

16. (Q) What is suggested for difficulty with eliminations?
(A) Just use those things indicated and add to the diet more fresh fruits and fresh vegetables whenever practical and possible. To be sure, occasionally it will be well to use a laxative; not so much a cathartic as a laxative. But with the corrections, these should become less and less
necessary for the body.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3148].

3. As we find, there are many conditions that are very good with this body, but there are those tendencies which cause at times a great deal of anxiety to the body.

4. These we find really point back to the time of or following the delivery of a baby - not a baby just at present - but at those periods when there were not the proper precautions taken as should have been. Pressures still exist in the areas just between the kidneys and the lower pelvic organs.
    Thus that tired heaviness at times which comes to the lower limbs if standing any length of time.

5. With those changes that are beginning, these have brought about pressures that produce those types of headaches that become very oppressive. They vary occasionally. At times a good deal of nausea accompanies same. At others a pressure upon the top of the head and to various portions of the body as though it were throbbing or thumping throughout the whole body. These, as we find, are the basic disturbances.

6. The blood supply is very good, only seldom is there variation as to the pressure and the quickening of the pulse. These tend to be heavy at times with the slowing of the pulse, which is a natural consequence of the changes beginning to take place with the body. Hence the flushes at times and the heaviness, especially in the soles of the feet and the limbs that give way to such disturbance.

7. It is within the nerves, of course; the glandular force and the nerve pressure from those subluxations existing in the lower dorsal and the lumbar areas.

8. These we would correct osteopathically.

9. But most of the assimilations we would relieve with hydrotherapy treatments, that is, we would take at least six to eight of the osteopathic adjustments, first, with special reference being given to the lumbar and sacral area, coordinating the upper dorsal and cervical with same. This, to be sure, is somewhat in reverse to the way many such treatments would be given, but will be found to be much more effective, if the corrections are made in the lumbar and sacral and then the other areas upward coordinating with same.

10. Also it would help to keep better eliminations for the body regularly. These may be controlled best, as we find, for this particular body by the diet. So include often in the diet watercress, okra - the activities as of "grasses" (so called) or celery, lettuce, carrots and the like. These may be grated or cut very fine and used with mayonnaise or an oil dressing; not to "burn out" with same as some might do, but change them as to their usage, and we shall find it will change the general elimination and increase the strengthening of the body, relieving those tensions that cause pressures to the head and to the secondary nervous system of the body.

11. These should aid also in making much easier those periods approaching.

12. In the hydrotherapy treatments which should be given once a week, have a mild sweat preferably with the Fume Bath rather than the Dry Heat. This may be done by putting a teaspoonful of Withchhazel in a pint of boiling water, in the container under the body while sitting in the cabinet. This should be followed by thorough rubbing down. with this combination of oils:

Usoline, or Nujol............4 ounces,
Peanut Oil...................2 ounces,
Olive Oil....................2 ounces.

13. Shake these three together and massage while the body still has the pores open from the fume Bath, into the spine, across the abdomen, around the head, the neck, and along the centers of the spinal system. Massage all the body will absorb; not just to be "pecked at" (nor yet to be rubbed so as to become irritated), but so there is radial activity and absorption from the food values to nerves, the centers and ganglia.

14. And these will bring for the body much improved conditions.

15. Ready for questions.

16. (Q) Should I continue taking Epsom Salts to flush the system, or would you suggest something better?
(A) As we find, when this is necessary, Sal Hepatica would be better, or Eno Salts.

17. (Q) Would it be better to discontinue doing office work, or does this have any bearing on the headaches?
(A) This, as we find, does not necessarily have a bearing on the headaches. These are more from those conditions indicated.

18. (Q) Should any particular foods be avoided or stressed in the diet?
(A) Stress the raw foods as indicated, especially water cress, beets, carrots. Avoid macaroni, and white potatoes. That character of food should be avoided.

19. (Q) What causes the occasional rash on neck and face?
(A) This is from the effects of lack of balance in the eliminations through regular channels. When there is acidity and not sufficient elimination through the alimentary canal, poisons are indicated in the superficial circulation.

20. (Q) Why does the left ear so often itch, and what can be done to improve hearing in that ear?
(A) The massages and the corrections, with the general health improved, should improve these conditions, for these are from nerves along the general system, rather than conditions within the organs of the head themselves. That is why the variation in the directions given for the osteopathic corrections in the lumbar and sacral and then the coordinating of the upper dorsal and cervical. These are the direct connections, though sympathetically, from the third cervical to the lumbar and sacral areas. These are the areas that cause those distortions in the supply of nerve as well as blood and lymph energy to the organs of the sensory system.

21. (Q) Do I have migraine?
(A) No, not true migraine.

22. (Q) Should the hydrotherapy be begun when the osteopathic treatments are begun?
(A) Should be begun, for as indicated these should be part and parcel, or work one with the other.

23. (Q) What produced the headaches in childhood?
(A) Stomach, and the connection with the organs of the stomach with those that are in distress at present from the suppressions. Do these things and we shall bring better conditions for this body.

24. We are through for the present.

Time of Reading Present in
Set bet. 3:30 to 4:30 P.M. Eastern War Time. this room.

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time with suggestions for further corrective measures, answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before. As we find, there are many changes which we have been and are good, and there are improvements in the general physical forces. There are conditions which apparently are not so well. There is lacking in the administrations given of coordinating the centers where the cerebrospinal and sympathetic make their greater connection to the organs of the sensory system, and thus the vision has apparently at times grown worse rather than growing better.

3. We would, then, change in the present the type of administration. The cleansing of the body has been very well but put these now about once each month, through the manipulations as through the hydrotherapy, but put self under the supervision or direction of a good osteopath who makes special adjustments for the organs of the sensory system, through the dorsal and the cervical areas, from which the eyes, ears, nose take their impulses from the sympathetic and the cerebrospinal system. These adjustments will not only clear the conditions to the eyes but will also make for better conditions in coordination in throat and in ears. Do that.

4. Ready for questions.

5. (Q) What is the best diet for this body?
(A) Now that which is a well balanced diet. But often use the raw vegetables which are prepared with gelatin. Use these at least three times each week. Those which grow more above the ground then those which grow below the ground. Do include, when these are prepared, carrots with that portion especially close to the top. It may appear the harder and the less desirable but it carries the vital energies, stimulating the optic reactions between kidneys and the optics.

6. (Q) What is the spiritual and mental opportunity I have to demonstrate more perfect vision as related in the physical reading?
(A) Here these, as we find, should have been corrected rather than allowing a stimulation that has hindered. The demonstration to be made is better cooperation in body, mind and spirit or soul of the entity. Thus, as has been given: Definite decisions in self as to attitudes towards all activities of body, mind and purpose, or the choosing of the ideals. In choosing same for the body, don't trust to the memory, don't trust to the thinking that "this I believe," for you change it often, but write it down: Body. Mind. Soul. Begin with the soul, what is thy ideal? The answer must be within self and of Jesus, the Christ. This, to be sure, is first, last and always.
    Then, what is the ideal mentally? This should be: How much meditation, how much application, how much appreciation. These, as we find, may be subdivided or, as changes come each day, rub out and change. What is the mind and the spirit as referred to body ideal? See the body perfect
in vision, in thought, in purpose. This is now the purpose of physical, not purpose of the mental. What is the ideal relationship which should exist between self, home, friends, activities in relation to things as well as conditions, as well as experiences? Change these as there is unfoldment in the study of thine own self.

7. (Q) What can be done for elimination now and will condition be cured permanently?
(A) These can be changed a great deal by the diets as indicated: Raw foods often, as the foods which tend towards better eliminations; figs; pie plant (this prepare in the different forms) senna leaves, senna pods, all of these may be parts of the diet at various periods. We will find as the
ideals are set, what are thy ideal eliminations? Once a day, twice a day or the activities of the liver, activities of kidneys, the activities of digestion and assimilation and the drosses which should be eliminated. Do not lay such a great stress on these that you find mind applying self as, "I can't do this and I can't do that or I can't do the other" but being rational and normal in keeping with conditions which develop.

8. (Q) Has colon healed since there is still soreness?
(A) Colon is a great deal better but when those corrections are made the more perfectly through the areas indicated, we will find there will still be better conditions. Do have the irrigations occasionally. These purify the body. Do have, though, in the same better activities as to be antiseptically bettered when these are finished.

9. (Q) What can be done for weak arches that causes such exhaustion and painful callouses under feet and on sides of both big toes?
(A) These, as we find, should have the manipulations or adjustments by the same period and at the same period as these adjustments for the organs of the sensory system. Do that.

10. (Q) Should there be any change in the treatments now?
(A) Read what has been given, there is a change.

11. (Q) Has balance to body been restored yet?
(A) If it had we'd be in perfect balance. Ye grow to these.

12. (Q) Gum condition in upper left eyetooth not responded yet, should it be extracted?
(A) Keep up the treatments with the use of the Ipsab and these we will find will respond. There is, however, at times, not always leakage; that is, pressure. We wouldn't remove yet until there has been more of the use of and the attitude, "If I need it, it'll heal it."

13. (Q) Is pivot tooth causing receding of gums in tooth next to it?
(A) This is only partially. Some acidity in the salivary glands causes most of the receding. Thus the suggestion for the use of the Ipana and the Ipsab for the gums and teeth.

14. (Q) Are dead teeth injurious to this body?
(A) Dead teeth are injurious.

15. (Q) Is aspirin as good as anything to take for migraine and am I working out of this condition?
(A) It is good as any but when we remove entirely the conditions through the colon we will have less and less of the headaches; for this is not true migraine.

16. (Q) How much water does this body need?
(A) Depends upon necessity, the diet and activities in the body's influence in sun or the like. Six to ten glasses each day is not too much.

17. (Q) Is tinting the hair injurious in any manner?
(A) No. Not unless there is used the character which carries chemicals that are injurious to the scalp. You haven't yet.

1. GC: You will answer the questions regarding this body as I ask them.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3051]; this we have had before.

3. As we find, there are improvements in many ways in the physical forces of this body. The applications that have been made through the hydrotherapy treatments have been well, and in accord with that given.

4. There are doubts and fears (that have been submerged in physical expression) finding manifestation in the physical being in self, and these must be met as they are indicated in the body. But do not become impatient with self nor the lack of those materializations at once of those hopes in the body. For ye grow in grace, in knowledge and in understanding. Where it has taken years to produce a fear, a doubt, an activity that begins to find manifestation in the twitching of a muscle, in the expansion of a vein, in the frustrations in the body forces, - be patient, be quiet within; and we will find those administrations that have been made - and that may be made - will aid thee in growing in the right directions.

5. For ye are made body, mind, soul. They each have their part in thy oneness, or they are one; as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one. Yet each may function independently of the other - as the Son manifested in the earth could have, by choice, NOT gone the whole way.

6. As ye put thy trust, thy faith in Him, so in thy body, thy mind, thy soul, ye may not go astray save by choice. Keeping in the faith and in the way called straight, ye will come to a completeness, to a oneness of purpose in Him.

7. Ready for questions.

8. (Q) Are treatments being given correctly, if so why weren't results not attained; explain fully. Reilly asks if adjustment is necessary?
(A) Had these not been necessary they would not have been indicated. They ARE necessary. Have these made osteopathically, not in the same places as the hydrotherapy treatments; that is go to an osteopath, see?

9. (Q) Is that part of colon which hemorrhages ulcerated and how can normal elimination be established so that this condition may heal permanently, is this possible or would an operation help or will cathartics have to be resorted to for life?
(A) As indicated these fears and doubts become localized. In this particular instance, to correct these conditions, we would use a compound prepared in this manner. This is merely added and is not to do away with any of those things suggested for the body.
    To four ounces of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin add - in the order named:

    A Fusion of Wild Ginseng....................1 ounce, (It would be made by putting one dram of the Ginseng, ground or mashed, in two ounces of distilled water and reducing by simmering to one ounce. Strain and add to the Elixir.)

    A Fusion of Wild Ginger (made in the same manner)...........................1/2 ounce.

    Shake the solution before it is to be taken. Take one teaspoonful each day for five days. Then leave off for five days. Then take again, and again. And by the third series you should have taken the whole quantity and should find the condition corrected - provided the other treatments have been carried forward as indicated.

10. (Q) Why are veins in legs and feet becoming prominent, especially in left calf, what treatment follow?
(A) This is not a great change. This is part imagination. But these should disappear if the corrections are made osteopathically as indicated, in the lumbar and sacral and at the head of the sciatic centers. Take the bicycle exercise also - this will be effective for the body.

11. (Q) What steps taken to restore usefulness of left thumb. Was tendon sewed, explain?
(A) The massage of this daily with Sweet Oil or Camphorated Oil will now prove the most helpful. Of course, this is where a tendon has been not only pinched but has become in part atrophied. This will be aided, not entirely restored, but may be used again. Keep using it; not as one that you can't get along without; but every day or two before retiring, massage it yourself for five to six minutes with the oil - just what it will absorb. Extend this to the wrist and to the elbow and this will aid.

12. (Q) Gums and SORE BRIDGE not responded, why?
(A) If you'll keep up the treatments and the things suggested, they will.

13. (Q) Give report on teeth and how keep them for life?
(A) Better go to the dentist to have much of this done! For this particular body, these may be kept by the use of Ipsab occasionally as a massage for the gums, and then taking care of those activities that are to supply sufficient calcium to the body at the periods when cycles change.
    Cycles change for the teeth during the second year of each cycle. During that year take at least three to four series of Calcios or its equivalent to supply calcium to the system, and it will aid not only the teeth but all the activities of the thyroid glands.

14. (Q) Why did I have migraine attack on the 13th after so many treatments?
(A) These were a part of the experience. These should or will come until the body, mind and soul are one in purpose.

15. (Q) Pain and tiredness in the eyes?
(A) Overtaxation. Taking the head and neck exercises regularly will relieve this condition.

16. (Q) Will canichrome tablets I take restore color of hair?
(A) NO! If the juice of potato peelings is taken regularly (two or three times a week) it will keep the hair nearer to its normal color than all other forms of chemicalpreparations.

17. (Q) How eliminate dryness to hair and skin?
(A) Just as given, when there is a perfect condition in the scalp, in the activities of the thyroid, by - keeping a correct balance, the oil, the dryness, the color will be normal for the body. Don't try to make something abnormal for self that should be this or that condition.

18. (Q) What preparations help keep firm muscles in face and neck?
(A) The Black and White are the better preparations for keeping muscles, or the whole body, or the face, in the proper condition. These would be used after a thorough cleansing with any good toilet soap, preferably that prepared with Olive Oil, or Coconut Oil rather than other characters of fats.

19. (Q) Explain meaning of my seal and why I have it, how benefit from this?
(A) We haven't the seal, in this.

20. We are through for the present.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3051], present in this room.

3. Now, in analyzing disturbances that occur in this body, there are many things to be taken into consideration.

4. Because there is a tendency towards a complication, do not understand or interpret it to mean that there are a whole lot of things which disturb the body that can't be corrected! Neither should the body get the idea that, "Well, maybe they'll clear up themselves." For, rather, there are tendencies and inclinations. And these, as we find, are brought on by very definite disturbances in the body. They partake both of the mental and the physical reactions.

5. Though the source of the disturbances is of the pathological or purely physical nature, the reactions do disturb the mental AND physical coordinations in the physical body.

6. These, then, are disturbances as we find them with this body, [3051], present in this room:

7. First, in the blood supply - while there are some superficial disturbances that are causing a distress to the circulation, these need only the palliatives that may remove the acute superficial condition. Any good lotion would be well for the sunburn; such as soda water, or any application that would act as a balm, in the forms of some characters of oils that remove the fire from the affected areas - such as Glyco-Thymoline.

8. But the general blood flow - the sources or causes or basic disturbances are of a glandular nature. Thus they partake of sympathetic reactions that have to do with the power of suggestive forces in the body, as well as the functioning of organs themselves.

9. Thus we find these reactions in varied conditions that exist with the body; besides that acute condition, a general reaction that indicates the lack of proper coordination of the eliminating systems, or the lack of proper coordinating in the superficial and the deep circulation to all the organs of the sensory system, as well as those that act as a reflex upon the assimilating bodies, - in the functioning of heart, liver, lungs and kidneys.

10. These being the central blood supply, they each in their return of activity in the exercising of those centers through the body, bring those experiences in the lack of vitality, the lack of applying or absorbing from that assimilated that necessary to create the more perfect balance in the body-forces.

11. We do not find indicated a humor in the blood, nor that it is over-impoverished, or that it carries too much of fats; but rather that there exists the unbalanced condition - which according to a physicist's examination would indicate the lack of coordinant activity in impulse for the reactions and the actual facts that take place in the dominant forces of the body's activities.

12. In the nerve forces we find quite a variation as to their natural reaction, as to the expression of same in the sensory organs of the body, as well as in the eliminations, the locomotion, and the impulses that would become involuntary or voluntary reactions through nerve systems of the body. Also we find the disturbances that are natural from an upsetting of the equilibrium between the superficial circulation and the deeper organic reaction. These are indicated through nerve tensions.

13. As to the activity of the organs themselves, - we find that the abilities for discernments are indicated, and the proper coordinating and reacting to determined rules of activity. Yet these at times, through the suggestive forces of the subconscious as well as the conscious reactions, bring
disputations in self as to whether this or that would be the best course to pursue.

14. These also find the ability to draw from impoverishment to the assimilated forces, by an unbalanced condition throughout the body.

15. Then, in indicating that which we find would not only correct but eliminate the disturbing conditions in the body-physical, - these we would suggest for this body:

16. First begin with those elements that are needed for the purifying of the glandular system and for the eliminating of poisons from the system - as these tend to increase or to segregate or to bring these disturbing factors to their reflective or relative reactions in the physical body.

17. These we would take in the form of ATOMIDINE. Take one minim (one drop) each morning before breakfast, in half a glass of water, for five days.

18. Leave it off one day.

19. Then take two drops each morning for five days.

20. THEN - not before - begin with hydrotherapy applications, and at a period when there would not be too much interference with the body carrying these through for the period of at least eight or nine weeks.

21. Each hydrotherapy treatment should include a mild sweat followed by a Fume Bath, using a teaspoonful and a half of Witchhazel for the Fumes that would settle over the body while in the Cabinet.

22. Follow the fume Bath with a needle shower, or the hot and cold shower; then a nice, or thorough, rubdown; using - for the massage - three parts Russian White Oil (or Nujol, or
Usoline) to one part of Oil of Pine Needles. Begin at the area between the first cervical area and the 3rd dorsal, especially; though, in every other treatment, do have the relaxing from the first cervical to the end of the spine.

23. When giving these massages, pay attention to the bursa of the feet, ankles, under knee, and across the lower portion of the back.

24. These we would take for at least nine to ten treatments. One a week should be sufficient.

25. And thus we will find we will eliminate sources of disturbance.

26. Do not confuse this by saying "We will take part and the other doesn't have to be done." Either take it all or don't take any!

27. Have the two weeks of purifying the body, first; THEN begin the hydrotherapy treatments.

28. And let the chemical changes that are wrought be provided by the foods, rather than by supplementing even by certain vitamins, especially through the warm weather; for these are much better assimilated from the foods themselves.

29. Keep a balance by the use of those diets as related to the body. Thus, the activities here would be mostly the leafy vegetables, leafy fruits also - or those that are full of the energizing forces that are in the correct combination for building resistances in the body.

30. After the thorough cleansing through the eliminations as indicated, do take those things that add to the abilities of the body to store energy. Thus, in the application of such, follow a very definite outline - that may be made by self - in its relationships to the spiritual, mental and physical being of the body.

31. Do those things, consistently, and we will find we will bring the better forces for this body, eliminating much that in the present does cause anxiety physically, that produces at times that which becomes physically a reaction not desirable by the body.

32. And apply these in the life, in the dealings with others; keeping that faith in Him, who is the source of light, life and immortality. And we will find we will bring bettered conditions for the body.

33. For these applications we would use such an one as Reilly.

34. Ready for questions.

35. (Q) What will relieve the eyestrain?
(A) First, a purifying of the glandular forces; then the abilities of the body to assimilate, as provided with the massage especially as indicated in the upper or central cervicals, extending to the areas indicated, should remove the eyestrain. This is more of a reflex nature, not as of the imagination - no. For, definite urges are aroused, and thus confusion to the reactions occurs.

36. (Q) Will I be able to leave off glasses then?
(A) After there have been at least three or four of the first series of the osteopathic treatments, - that is, the relaxings that are to take place at every other hydrotherapy treatment, - leave off the glasses; and we will find there will not be the necessity for returning to them for years yet. For, you have a job to do! You have an opportunity in thy spiritual and mental life. Use same. Don't use such opportunities as excuses, or as something to gloat over, to glory about. The GLORY is to God, then the honor will be to self.

37. (Q) How may I eliminate stiffness in back of neck and joints?
(A) This, as indicated, is from the lack of coordination between superficial and deeper circulation. The massages, following the purifying forces, will eliminate this - after the first of the hydrotherapy treatments.

38. (Q) How can I eliminate the buzz in my ears, caused by catarrhal condition?
(A) This is a part of the general disturbance. There's a great deal less catarrhal condition than there is incoordination between superficial and deeper circulation. And as equilibrium is established by purification of the glandular forces, by the second or third of the massages or the hydrotherapy and massage treatments, we should find this disappearing. First there will be the feeling, "It doesn't hurt as much as it used to." Then, "Well, it's come back again - I don't know whether it's any good or not!" Then, if you will follow it on out, well, "I've forgotten I ever had it!"

39. (Q) Have trouble with the gums bleeding, and the lower left bridge?
(A) When these purifications are brought about, these conditions will disappear. For local disturbance, use Ipsab as a massage for gums; using this just three times a week. Then use any good dentifrice, preferably that of the same combinations of Ipsab, but without the iodine in same - Ipana.

40. (Q) Receding of gums in upper right side? eye tooth?
(A) Just as given - use the Ipsab.

41. (Q) Migraine?
(A) This is from the incoordination between superficial and deeper circulation. We have covered this. If these things indicated will be done, we will rid the body of these conditions. Do that.

42. (Q) What should be done to improve the menstrual periods?
(A) All of these have been covered in that indicated here. Do these things, and we will find - by the second or third - the body will feel a great deal better. But keep these up for at least six to eight - that is, that means that many weeks of taking these, in succession, you see. And keep cool - that doesn't mean physically, but mentally. And ye will see the glory of the Lord. But use that strength that is given thee as a helpful force to others. It will satisfy, and bring contentment - though never be satisfied with the conditions about self. Be content, but never merely satisfied. Do these.

43. We are through for the present.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3047].

3. As we find, there are inclinations that may become very serious. For these are disturbances in the central circulation; that is, that deeper circulation as related specifically to lungs, heart, liver and kidneys. And these show irregularity, which is indicated by that irregular condition in the pressure, a condition that at times - though as yet this occurs only under stress - causes the skipping in the heart beat; upsetting in the digestion, and the lack of those abilities or tendencies towards lack of breathing deep enough.

4. Thus at times the lungs in part are left with the lack of proper oxidization of the whole of the blood stream; tiredness occurs at times; heaviness across the small of the back, just below the kidneys at times; the lack of proper assimilation of foods, and the lack of the proper combinations in the lactic acids, or the combination of alkalines and acids.

5. The lacteal circulation, then, is inadequate for the proper assimilation of foods.

6. Thus at times there is a good deal of belching, at others some uncomfortableness across the area of the diaphragm, and a heaviness at times in the lower portion of the alimentary canal.

7. The headaches that ensue from these are of the dull character; the eyes burn at times; also there is the bad taste in the mouth.

8. These, as we find, are the sources, and those tendencies and inclinations in the body, [3047].

9. We find that these would bring about much better conditions:

10. As a balance in the digestive forces, rather than the character of acids taken in the present, we would take ACIGEST; a teaspoonful in raw milk every other day, preferably at the evening meal. This will be better assimilated.

11. Also we would add a small quantity of CALCIOS three times a week, as a stimulator for the calcium content of the body-forces, adding much to the abilities of the body to assimilate and eliminate properly. Take just the quantity that would be required to spread on a whole wheat cracker, thinly, and eat it - with the cracker, you see. This is the better manner for the assimilation.

12. Also we would have at least eight to ten GENERAL osteopathic treatments, with special reference given to the areas in the upper dorsal and through the cervicals, and at the lumbar axis - or 4th lumbar, and through the sacral. These should be relaxing treatments, rather than stimulating treatments.

13. Do not have these until there is the beginning of the taking of the ACIGEST and the CALCIOS internally. This will enable these to assimilate or to work better with the activity of these properties upon the body.

14. Then the matter of the diet:

15. Do not take ANY carbonated waters, or carbonated drinks of any kind.

16. A little apple brandy (but a good brandy, not Applejack) made as a toddy occasionally will be beneficial. This should be taken AT the meals, as medicine, not as a drink.

17. Do not take ANY of the drinks made with carbonated waters, or those prepared from hops. These are bad for conditions that exist, and the tendencies through alimentary canal.

18. The foods that are of the nature of leafy vegetables, both raw and cooked, are preferable to those of the tuberous nature; though carrots - both raw and cooked - are well. Potatoes should be very sparse, not more than once or twice a week.

19. Other leafy vegetables - the tops of beets, especially, - are good; water cress in salads is excellent for the body.

20. These will tend to aid, especially, the superficial circulation.

21. As to meats, use plenty of sea foods (not fresh water fish), fowl and lamb. No hog meat, nor any other type of meat; though a little crisp breakfast bacon may be taken occasionally.

22. Eggs should be a part of the diet almost daily.

23. Do these, and we should find better conditions for this body.

24. Ready for questions.

25. (Q) Then I should discontinue the hydrochloric acid I've been taking?
(A) As we find, while ACIGEST is hydrochloric acid, it is prepared in a manner that - as combined with the other things suggested here it will work better with the body. So we would change to this.

26. We are through for the present.

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes.

3. As we find, there are conditions that prevent the better physical functioning of the body. These are rather a complication of disturbances.

4. These, then, are the conditions as we find them with this body, [3043]:

5. From the effects of a deep cold, combined with some intestinal disorder, there has been produced inflammation that has upset the coordination between the lymph circulation and the central circulation, also the nerve impulses.

6. So, we find a great deal of trouble through the intestinal tract; forming gas in the lower portion of the duodenum after almost each meal, a great deal of discomfort, and the reflexing of these to the circulation between the heart, liver and lungs.

7. At other periods through the lower portion of the abdomen, and through the liver area, there are tendencies for contractions.

8. These, we find, are the sources - and the disturbances with this body.

9. In the blood supply irritations are produced at times, oft, to the superficial circulation - areas on various portions of the body, extremities as well as the torso itself, becoming irritated; while we find an irregularity to the circulation or to the pulsation itself. There is a great deal of disturbance in the soft tissue of face, head, neck. Also this disturbance between the lymph and the impulses as supplied by nerve forces of the circulation of the blood force in varied areas through the body. Especially over the abdomen these produce cold areas, even to the touch; showing the irregularity of the circulation.

10. As we find, all of these disorders, and the effects that have been produced in the functionings of the varied systems of activity in the body, should be taken into consideration in making applications that would prove the more beneficial for this body.

11. First, we would take internally a preparation made in this manner:

12. To 2 ounces of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin as the base, we would add:

A fusion of Wild Ginseng...................1 ounce,
A fusion of Wild Ginger..................1/4 ounce.
Take a teaspoonful of this each evening when ready to retire.

13. Also, when this is begun, begin having at least once a week a mild fume bath or sweat, using in the fumes Witchhazel.

14. Follow this with an ultra-violet light treatment, preferably with the projection of the green glass between same and the body. Stay under the light some ten to fifteen minutes, five minutes on the front side and five on the back, or such a matter.

15. After the light treatment, have a thorough rubdown, preferably with Peanut Oil.

16. Keep these in their regular order, being mindful of the diet.

17. Occasionally, when the hydrotherapy treatment is given, - say once in twenty days, unless it is necessary oftener, - have a colonic irrigation. Do use soda and salt in the first waters, in the proportions of a teaspoonful heaping full of salt and a level teaspoonful of baking soda to each
gallon of water. In the last or rinse water injected, use a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline to the gallon of water, as an intestinal antiseptic. These will prevent irritation, and these should rid the system of these disturbances.

18. When there is acute pain through the abdomen, apply a Castor Oil Pack. Use some three thicknesses of flannel, preferably old rather than new flannel, well saturated with the Castor Oil, and apply directly to the skin. This preferably as we find, in this case, would be applied over the right side, extending from close under the ribs to almost the caecum area. Then we would apply to this the electric pad, even though the Pack should be put on hot. Let this remain on an hour.

19. DO NOT take any carbonated drinks of any kind. Carbonated waters are not good.

20. DO use a good deal of sea food, a great deal of leafy vegetables, and the character of foods that are body and blood building; as celery, lettuce, radish, carrots, beets, beet tops, water cress, - all of these should be taken quite often; not every day, to become tiresome for the body, but these will be found to be most helpful.

21. Ready for questions.

22. (Q) What causes the migraine headaches?
(A) This is from the stomach. As we find, these applications should get rid of a great deal of this disturbance.

23. We are through with this Reading.

1. HLC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2474].

3. Now as we find, there are many commendable conditions and reactions; yet there are specific disturbances that cause great anxiety in the body-functioning at times.

4. To be sure, from these effects there are other disturbances. These have remained rather hidden, as they are of the nature as to arise occasionally - hence under the stress produced they become hard to locate.

5. These are the conditions then, as we find them with this body, [2474] we are speaking of:

6. In the blood supply we find very good reactions in most every form. Yet in the effluvium there is indicated a form of fluor, or condition, showing that there is a lack of thorough assimilation of that digested by the body.

7. Hence, from the position, this produces in the nerve system those pressures that cause the violent headaches, - which at times appear as a partial paralysis of a side of the face; so that through the eye and a portion even of the frontal brain center there appears rather the separate or tangible movement. This is caused by such long pressures that have brought about the nature of the disturbance itself.

8. In the nervous system, or systems, there are pressures that prevent the coordination of the sympathetic and cerebrospinal centers as related to that area from which the duodenum receives its impulse in nerve force for the lymph and emunctory circulation at periods of assimilating the gastric flow of the digestive system.

9. Thus we have the nerves of the hypogastric and pneumogastric center as the area in which this lack of proper stimulation exists. This is in the ganglia upon the left side at the junction of the 5th and 6th dorsal center.

10. The reaction from this lack of coordination of impulse is to build on the organs of assimilation, as controlled by the hypogastric and pneumogastric center, what may be called a fullness - that bursts, as it were, upon the activity of that portion of the jejunum, emptying from the pylorus into the jejunum. To be sure, branches from this plexus (the pneumogastric and hypogastric) are active to the liver, the gall duct, the spleen and the pancreas, and the flow of the activity from the pylorus portion of the stomach to and through the duodenum.

11. Hence a spasmodic condition is produced in the flow when the headache is the most violent; though the area from which the impulse arises does not suffer as does the reflex center from the brain TO the plexus that controls the activity in the digestive system.

12. As to the general activity to the organs of the body, - owing to the general stress in the nervous system, we do not find organically that there is other than a sympathetic reaction in heart, liver or kidneys; but all of these to be sure, under the great stress that arises, become sympathetically involved. We find that the spleen and the flow of the excretions through the gall duct DO have repression in their activity.

13. Then, these are the conditions as we find with this body, [2474]:

14. In meeting these conditions, many portions of the system's reaction are to be taken into consideration. For, owing to the very nature and subtleness of the reactions, it will require patience, persistence, and the proper manner of THINKING; as well as the aid that may be given by others in aiding the body to respond to all forms of nerve reflexes that have been so long involved.

15. Hence we would give these rather as an outline, - and there will be required a series of applications, with those properties that will aid in "boosting", as it were, the gastric flow - until a proper coordination may be established between the hypogastric and pneumogastric plexus as coordinates with the ganglia in the cerebrospinal centers. And these centers, too, need their stimulation.

16. We would begin taking with each meal a small quantity of Elixir of Lactated Pepsin. Do not take more than four or five drops, in a little water. Of course, a teaspoonful might be considered a dose, but it is the reaction from this small quantity that is needed - with the activity of the hypogastric BY the changes that are to be wrought with the impulses created in the body-force itself.

17. Hence we would have the osteopathic adjustments with special reference to the areas throughout the controlling of the assimilation and the flow of that digested from the stomach, the duodenum AND the upper part of the jejunum; or the area from the 4th dorsal to the 9th dorsal, with PARTICULAR reference to the lesion at the 5th and 6th dorsal.

18. We would have at least six to ten of such adjustments osteopathically.

19. Then we would leave off the adjustments for a period of a week; then we would have six to ten more, with special reference - then - to coordinating ALL centers of the area from the lower portion of the stomach, or from the 11th and 12th dorsal - then - to the 1st cervical.

20. To be sure, not JUST the cerebrospinal centers are to receive attention, but the head and neck - though not so severe; more the side of the face and the neck, at the upper portion of the 2nd and 3rd cervical. Then the side of the face, the chin, the nasal passage - all of this is to receive some attention.

21. The stimulating of the ganglia and the removal of the pressure by proper adjustment in the 5th and 6th dorsal center, should bring relief for this body.

22. At the beginning of the first rest period from the osteopathic treatments, - that is, after the first six to ten adjustments have been made, - we would start with the use of the vibration from hand therapy by an individual who carries healing in his body and mind.

23. Let such an individual, for at least twenty minutes, every other day, place his hands on the patient in this manner - right next to the skin, you see, in direct contact with the body:

24. Sitting upon the left side of the body (so as to make the applications easier), rub the hands well together, dry, and then place the right hand (with the body lying prone, of course) over the 5th and 6th dorsal center - next to the flesh itself - that is, under the spine at this area, see?
    Then place the left hand over the gall duct and lacteal duct plexus - which would be more on the right side of the body, you see, opposite the navel - which controls the (lymph) activity of the flow. And it will be found that this hand vibration will be beneficial even under the periods of great stress. Of course, for some weeks - yes, for a month or so - there will be recurrent spells with the headache, but they will gradually lessen, if all of these applications are followed as outlined; not just part, but all of that suggested.

25. Let these hand vibrations be applied by a healer for at least a period of ten times in succession, - that is, every other day for at least ten applications; or until the corrections have been made. But we would not begin these until the first series of osteopathic treatments has been completed, you see - so that there will be the better reactions.

26. Do these, and we will bring relief for this body.

27. Ready for questions.

28. (Q) What recommendations would you make as to diet for the body?
(A) These have been a part of the experiences of the body, and it has reached those stages where it finds it is necessary to change rather regularly, and to be rather specific as to diet. That which has been set as to its order is not bad, and will be found to be much better as these changes come about gradually, by the correction osteopathically and the change in the gastric flow through taking the small quantities of Pepsin.

29. (Q) Would you recommend anyone for the healing work with the hands, in connection with this case?
(A) One who is very close to the body. Such as [1662] would be VERY good.

30. (Q) Is it understood correctly that [1662] has the necessary ability to aid in this case?
(A) He has the necessary ability. Also he has the ability to direct such applications by suggestion to the body so as to become a helpful influence.

31. (Q) Is there an osteopath you would recommend for this body?
(A) Any of those that are in sympathy with suggestions through these sources. Such an one may be indicated or found through [1646], or some may be indicated from here who are in sympathy with those applications as outlined.

32. (Q) Any other suggestions at this time, either for the body or for [1662] in giving the healing vibrations?
(A) Of course, the detailed suggestions needed here are more for the one who makes the mechanical osteopathic adjustments. Let such an one follow those directions outlined here.  As to the applications to be made by [1662], - be patient, be persistent, and be prayerful. For, we know that in union there is strength.

33. We are through for the present.

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with further suggestions for corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes - there are many changes in the general physical forces of this body since last we had same here. Some have shown a great deal of improvement, but there are tendencies in the present for the reverting to those greater disturbances of old through the gall duct area.

3. As we find, we would have now the occasional application of the Castor Oil Packs over the gall duct area; not too severe, but to relax those tendencies for adhesions through these areas.

4. Also we would have about ten or twelve corrections, osteopathically administered. Have them at least twice or three times a week for the first six. These would be particularly in the area from the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th dorsals. Then relax the cervicals, of course; but the ADJUSTMENTS would be in the dorsal areas indicated.

5. Take at least two tablespoonsful of Olive Oil a day. This possibly would be much preferable if taken in small doses often through the day. If there is a tendency for belching or regurgitation, reduce the quantity, - but continue to take small quantities, even though it is only a few drops every hour or two during the day, - until we get sufficient relaxation from the adjustments as to bring bettered conditions for the body.

6. As to diet, - adhere closer to those things that were first indicated. The tendencies to get away from some of these has also been a contributing factor in making these regurgitations and reactions.

7. These should bring better forces for this body.

8. Ready for questions.

9. (Q) Are the brief sun baths daily, letting the sun shine on the bare flesh in the gall bladder region, helpful?
(A) These are helpful if they are not overdone. But after the Oil packs, make a gentle rubbing in the area, see, so that we may have the better effect even of the sun bath, as well as the oil reactions.

10. (Q) Are the bending exercises occasionally that I take to stimulate flow of bile helpful, or otherwise?
(A) These we would not take, if there is given the proper osteopathic treatments. For these are a little bit severe, with the impulses being worked against, see?

11. (Q) Does the gall bladder ailment cause the occasional migraine headaches (though much lighter in pain than formerly)?
(A) It's the larger contributing factor, and with the better eliminations these should be farther and farther apart.
