-
EC: We have the body here, [5715]. Now, we find there are distresses caused in the coordination of the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal nerve system, produced by PRESSURE in the lumbar and sacral region, which prevents that proper reaction as should come with the activities of the pineal gland and the lyden [Leydig] gland, through the medulla oblongata to the brain.
-
In meeting the needs of the conditions, we would find that both physical and medicinal properties would be necessary in bringing about the proper reactions; through the correction of the pressure existent and through the application of those properties as will bring for the replenishing of the white tissue in the nerve cells themselves - THESE, we find, would be aiding and bringing the nearer normal reaction, will these be taken in time, before the pressure produces the softening of the brain tissue itself; until there is dementia in its reaction.
-
We would, then, at least twice each week, have those manipulations, followed by the battery treatment with the wet battery carrying Chloride of Gold in same. Before the treatments are given - each treatment - we would give that internally of Chloride of Gold - fifteen grains to fifteen ounces of water - five drops - adding to same those in the proportion of ten grains Bromide of Soda with ten ounces of distilled water - TWENTY drops. These mixed together when the dosage is taken. That would be, then, two doses each week. Do that. We will find the response, if taken properly. Ready for questions.
-

-
(Q) Any specific manipulation? (A) Correction of those pressures as has been given.
-
(Q) How long should the battery be applied at a time? (A) Thirty to sixty minutes.

(Q) Should this follow immediately after the osteopathic manipulations? (A) It should. The attachments to same will be to the umbilicus and to the base of the brain.
-
(Q) Any specific diet or exercise? (A) These should be of the near normal reaction. Those that give more for the nerve and blood building should be adhered to. KEEPING near to a normal reaction. Those that give more for the nerve and blood building should be adhered to; keeping near to a normal balance between potashes and iodines.
-
(Q) Would the results be satisfactory if the body comes to the Cayce Hospital twice a week for treatments or should he stay there? (A) Better were it to come. Be more satisfactory to the body itself.
-
(Q) How long should this treatment continue? (A) We will see changes in the body in five to six weeks!
