Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Hey Audra, I have seizures myself, so I too have been looking for anything that could let me take fewer pills. Mine have alot to do with stress, so we may be talking apples and oranges here, but yoga has been a great help to me. I started yoga about 2 months ago, and I went 52 days without having a seizure. Also, I missed 2 night doses of pills during that time, and still didn't have one. I recently bought some lavender oil from GNC, and its supposed to reduce stress. I asked them about seizure aromatherapy, but spasms was the closest they found to seizures. Anyway, yoga couldnt hurt, and would probably help improve alot of other areas of her life. Hope this helps. " We are each but one pipe in the septic system of life. " Colby Hardison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 The first step is stopping all chemicals such as MSG and soft drinks. Even just one soft drink can cause a seizure; drink Fruit Juice instead. , " Audra " <priestesszita wrote: > > I have a daughter who has epilpsy and want to know if there is a diet > I could put her on to help with this.She takes meds for it but she > don't like to. > Love Audra > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Also start her on DMG (n-dimethylglycine) See: http://www.dmgdoctor.com/dmg.php It helps oxygenate the brain and very often reduces the number of seizures or stops them completely. - Anne Sunday, December 17, 2006 6:55 PM Re: daughter who has epilpsy The first step is stopping all chemicals such as MSG and soft drinks.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hi, Epilepsy is another problem cused due to problem in chemicals and neurotransmitters in the cerebrospinal fluid.. Symptoms: On seeing fire or ater or due to tension there will be a agitative response of the muscles and lack of memory.. The alternative is to drink lots of water and go to toilet.. She can have fruit beer.. We can also try infusing/injecting some mineral water.. Further I heard that we can keeep one small mettalic thing made of iron tied with a thread on the upper portion of right hand regards Mahesh N http://www.maheshnbiomedical.com , " Audra " <priestesszita wrote: > > I have a daughter who has epilpsy and want to know if there is a diet > I could put her on to help with this.She takes meds for it but she > don't like to. > Love Audra > , " Audra " <priestesszita wrote: > > I have a daughter who has epilpsy and want to know if there is a diet > I could put her on to help with this.She takes meds for it but she > don't like to. > Love Audra > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 ---audra look a tthis file Epilepsy Be sure that you have read carefully the cayce philosophy page as missing any one of the principles there could cost you in some form ¡V we know we have done it. One of the most important principles outlined by cayce and others where people are suffering from any condition is to do everything they can to help others in whatever capacity they can. Cayce frequently mentioned that this would bring faster results. This is a great ingredient in helping all people to transmute their own karma. See other pages on this particularly important treatment. Conventional treatment Epilepsy is a disorder, which takes the form of recurring seizures. Seizures can be sudden uncontrolled episodes of electrochemical activity in the brain. Brain cells normally communicate with each other in a coordinated way to control our conscious state and body movements. During a seizure this communication is temporarily disturbed and becomes uncoordinated. Many factors can contribute to the development of epilepsy including brain infections, head injuries, cerebral tumors and strokes. It is also now recognized that some types of epilepsy may be inherited. 60-75% of people with epilepsy can have their seizures reduced or completely controlled with medications known as anti-epileptic drugs These do not cure epilepsy but they can usually improve seizure control and thereby enhance the quality of life for the majority of people. They are not without their side effects some of which can be severe First aid for seizures Firstly, make sure that the person is not near anything that could harm them; hard or sharp objects should be removed or the person should be gently moved away from danger. You should not attempt to restrain the person or try to stop the jerking. You should never try to put anything in a person's mouth while they are having a seizure. Although they may bite their tongue, they cannot actually swallow it (an old myth). Attempting to force the mouth open may break their teeth and damage the tissues inside their mouth and throat. If possible, roll the person onto their side during the seizure and keep the head supported with a small pillow or cushion. This will ensure that the excessive saliva and any vomit or blood, which builds up in the mouth during a seizure, drains out of the mouth. It also helps to make breathing easier. If you don't have help, keep the person's head supported during the seizure - use a pillow or cushion if available. This is to prevent the person from injuring their head and to help saliva drain out of their mouth. As soon as the seizure is over, turn them onto one side to enable the contents of the mouth to readily drain out and to help clear the airway to make breathing easier. Stay with the person until they have fully recovered. They may remain confused or drowsy for some time after the seizure. Try to reassure them, it is not usually necessary to call an ambulance. However, if a seizure lasts more than 5 minutes or one seizure follows another without the person regaining consciousness, call an ambulance immediately. Remember protect the person from injury, ensure they are breathing, help make breathing easier and stay with the person until the seizure is over. There are many different types of seizures. Seizures may appear as any of the following: „h confusion and disorientation „h unusual, sudden body movements such as stiffening and jerking „h a convulsion with total loss of consciousness „h temporarily altered behavior „h staring and blinking „h a frightened look or lack of response „h a strange feeling or unusual taste „h lip smacking and chewing „h walking around without any purpose „h fiddling with clothes/objects nearby „h speaking in an unintelligible way Seizures can also be different for each person. Common seizure triggers include: „h forgetting or failing to take prescribed medication; „h illness with a high temperature; „h diarrhea and vomiting (which is known to prevent the absorption of any medication); „h fatigue; „h over-excitement; „h hysteria; „h stress; „h fear; „h Loud noises and bright lights. „h General anesthetics can also bring on a seizure for some people. Most epileptic fits can be controlled with medication but these are not without their side effects, some of which can be quite severe. Some of the known side effects of certain drugs include fatigue, dizziness, irritability, double vision, nausea, rashes, tremors and gum swelling. Alternative Treatment Edgar cayce gave over 250 readings for epilepsy and associated disorders. In Reba Ann karps book a study was made of about 84 readings for 37 people with an age range of 20 months to 62 yrs old. There are quite a few files at the A.R.E. which members can research further and anyone contemplating treatment would well advised to consult with them. Causes 1.Most frequently mentioned was glandular imbalances, which implied adhesions and lesions in the lacteal area of the intestines. 2. Other glands were mentioned particularly the pineal. 3. In 16 cases spinal sublaxations and lesions were found to be a direct cause with mention of other vertebrae out of alignment in any part of the spine. These misalignments would interfere with the proper supply of nutrients and or nerve impulses which were needed in other parts of the body the lack of which would result in seizures. 4. Injuries which were mentioned in 16 cases whether the injuries were caused at birth or later in life these were again interfering with the proper flow of nutrients and or nerve pathways. 5.Poor eliminations which tended to increase the severity of the disorder in 11 cases.A sluggish excretory system would lead to a build up of toxins which were very injurous to the nerves and glands. 6. Karma, the meeting of selves actions whether done in this life or the past ones. 7. Prenatal factors was also mentioned in 8 cases, a mothers poor diet Treatment 1.Dietary changes were outlined in 25 cases with the emphasis placed on light alkaline reacting foods, which were high in minerals and would be easily assimilated.See general health & cayce philosophy. Fried foods and heavy meats were to be avoided. 2.Spinal manipulation in the form of osteopathic adjustments, frequent areas for consideration were the 123 cervical vertebrae which directly control impulses to the brain.Cayce saw that these adjustments would eventually break up the lesions and restore proper alignment, a lengthy series was often prescribed. 3.To help break up the lesions in the lacteal are castor oil packs were generally recommended, which were made up from flannel soaked in warm castor oil which were applied daily over the abdomen for 1 hr and were kept warm with an electric heating pad. Internal doses of olive oil often went with the packs. After the packs had been on for an hour a rinse with bicarb of soda in water followed. 4.Electrotherapy treatments were suggested in 14 cases. most frequently the wet cell and the impedance device and occasionally the violet ray and the ultraviolet light. These were to help restore coordination in the nervous system and to improve circulation. 5.Internal doses of a tonic or tea made from the passionflower herb sometimes called maypops, may blossom. This was used to strengthen the nerve and restore nervous coordination and also act as a sedative. To make this tea add one gallon of the dried passion flower herb, include blossom and fruit, to two gallons of distilled water, this was to simmer in a glass container until reduced to until their was two quarts of the liquid left when strained .To this liquid add one pint of 90 grain alcohol was to be added .The dosage recommended was to be three tablespoons daily taken at meal times. 6.Massages were recommended to 15 people over the spine and other areas to relax the body and help remove the lesions, peanut oil and olive oil and or cocoa butter was to be used with the massage. 7.To cleanse the system and reduce pressures on the spine, enemas and colonics or mild laxatives such as castoria and olive oil. 8 Two unusual treatments which were used with considerable success involved salt and ice. The first was to place a pinch of salt on the persons tongue to relax the body and to help prevent the occurrence of seizures .The ice was to applied at the base of the brain to reduce the severity of the seizures. Apply a small piece of ice rubbed along the base of the brain, at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervical, this will cause an IMMEDIATE reaction; which will stop the attacks 9. Of course spiritual healing as ever can be of considerable benefit in all types of maladies.I would encourage everyone to add this to their healing protocol. Of note abdominal adhesions in most cases of epilepsy are in the lacteal ducts. These are part of the lymphatic system. Their purpose is to absorb nutrients from the small intestine as digested food passes through the intestine. Any obstructions or Adhesions in the lacteal ducts can interfere with absorption of nutrients (particularly fats and proteins). Also, adhesions can interfere with the circulation of blood and lymph and cause the nervous system and organs to be thrown out of balance or " coordination. " Nervous system incoordination was a primary factor cited in the Cayce readings on epilepsy. Cayce said most cases of epilepsy were caused by adhesions in the lacteal ducts of the abdomen. Treatment is directed at breaking up adhesions in the lacteal duct area, which is located along the right side of the abdomen. One therapy recommended by Cayce for breaking up these adhesions was castor oil packs. When a piece of flannel cloth is saturated with hot castor oil and placed on the abdomen, the combination of the heat and oil will break up the adhesions associated with epilepsy. The hot castor oil pack is placed over the right side of the abdomen in the area of the lacteal ducts for about an hour. Three sessions per week were typically recommended. Each session followed by an abdominal massage, which assists in breaking up adhesions. In 34 cases of epilepsy so studied and abstracted in which there were 17 cases of each sex represented, with an age range from five years to sixty-four years, four were of petite mal, two of each sex, one was petite mal resulting from a brain scar and 29 cases were grand mal or Jacksonian epilepsy. Edgar Cayce found involvement in the lacteals in all the cases except where a brain scar or tumor was the etiological factor. He found lesions in the cervical or neck segments in all these cases, and in the coccyx, adjacent to the chorda-equinus (the great sympathetic nerve plexus at the tip of the tailbone). Then he found lesions in the dorsal (thoracic) segments and lumbars next in frequency, while involvement of the caecum, pineal glands; ovaries and gall bladder were infrequent. Specific measures were repeated again and again. Manipulation and mobilization to free up lesions in the cervical and coccygeal areas were given. The use of the infusions of passion flower were given in approximately fifty per cent of the cases, while castor oil packs over the lacteals was almost a hundred per cent routine, while the use of Insulin shock, brain surgery, hysterectomies, the use of bromides and luminal or dilantin were most infrequently indicated. A few case studies follows, taken from the work of Edgar cayce 251-1 M CHILD Cayce found an injury to the spine, affecting centers that operate by stimulating the activity of the eliminations from the system, these were especially related to the caecum and to the colon area. This combined with a birth problem produced a strangulation in the area - from pressure produced in the LUMBAR area there made an adhesion in the area; so that when there is a filling up or a dilation in the caecum and ascending colon - there is a COLDNESS from circulation, this interferes with the coordination between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal nerve reactions in the lower portion of the cerebrospinal system. This brings on the epileptic conditions. The pressure is in the 8th and 9th dorsal area, and acts upon the draining or relieving of the pressure in the lower portion of jejunum and in the first portion or caecum area of the colon. You can see this by holding your hand over the caecum area, and feel the difference in the temperature of that particular area from the lack of circulation. The problem in the dorsal area may be found by FINDING the alignment in the cerebro-spinal area, the effects can be seen in the nervous system of the body. Firstly allow the body to recuperate from the present attack and then increase the eliminations to rid the system of the poisons from the sedatives that act by reducing the flow of secretions from the organs of the system (when these are near normal activity), then RELIEVE those pressures in the Cerebro-spinal system; the dorsal and the lumbar area COORDINATING these with the cervical which affect the activities to the brain forces. Small doses of Bismuth, or Milk of Bismuth, should be given to cleanse the system and STIMULATE the activities of the nerve forces from the dorsal area Some, attacks could come, unless the body is keeps really good eliminations through the alimentary canal; but these will be less severe - and in six to ten weeks the body should be rid entirely of that which causes or produces the disturbances. (Q) What doses of Bismuth should be given, or Milk of Bismuth? Cayce replied give this after recuperating from the PRESENT condition; - the dosage would be a teaspoonful three times each day. If necessary, use enemas to relieve the pressure in the colon. An EASILY assimilated diet was recommended - but it must be well balanced that the strength, vitality should be built. (Q) Please outline a diet, as it should be. Cayce replied give strained oatmeal with beef tea or juice, dry milk, and that which will act with the kidneys in THEIR proper eliminations - use the JUICES of vegetables rather than too much of the BULK, at first. (Q) How can he be relieved at the present? Cayce replied He's OK at the minute. When the CONGESTIONS come back, - which will be in the next twelve to twenty-four hours, then begin with the REMOVING of the pressure in the sacrum, in the dorsal, and ESPECIALLY in the lumbar area. (Q) How long should these treatments be given, and how often? Cayce replied what has been said and observe how EASILY the adjustments are made - and as to how well the system cleanses itself from those STRAINS it HAS undergone, and that it must for a time still undergo until those strangulation¡¦s are removed - that are produced by the congestion in those centers, of pulling up on the sides, see? For they are as strangulations. Number of treatments, depends upon how readily the body responds. If necessary, treatments should be given EVERY day - until the body is relieved - which would require a lesser period then they may be made farther and farther apart - which would cover a period of some thirty to sixty days. No further readings were found for this person 5562-1 BACKGROUND Epilepsy apparent for 9 yrs and for which she had been treated medically. In coordination and suppression were found by cayce. Treatment consisted of reliving those pressures, which were producing disorders all over the body. There are centers that are UNDER distress from these repressions. The glands that supply to the brain forces also had problems from the activity through the sympathetic system. Hence incoordination results. Osteopathic adjustments were to be given of the cerebrospinal system, and ESPECIALLY as they relate to the functioning of the organs in pelvis, in digestive system, and as a COORDINATION through the hypogastric and pneumogastric as they cross in the system. For the problems with the brain STIMULATIVE and correct with the cerebrospinal centers. Also used were the vibrations from the iodine in the wet battery. Applied to the umbilicus and to the 2nd dorsal. Be sure the attachment is made to the 2nd dorsal first, then to the umbilicus center - to the RIGHT and ABOVE the center itself. These should be given not more than thirty minutes each day, PREFERABLY as the body rests. Gradually diminish the sedatives as the stimuli are given to the system. Keep the system cleansed, through the alimentary canal, and use the Ambrosia weed. This will reduce the sugars in the system, and give the plain Ambrosia weed tea, a teaspoonful about once each week. Diet- beware of sweets or of nuts, and of those of TUBEROUS nature in the vegetables. The others may be taken, but DO NOT OVEREAT at ANY time. Plenty of outdoor exercise, in the open. 5562-2 F 12 Cayce found better conditions but advised change to the vibratory forces being given and desensitizing of some of the nerves' reaction. Use Mayblossom Bitters. STRAINED once, Dose Of mornings, five to six drops in a little water. Near the eleventh hour, give ten to twelve drops. Near three o'clock, give three to five drops. Evenings, about the SAME quantity. Diet no overloading at any time. More exercise outside. (Q) Is the Ketogenic diet as given, proper? (A) Very good, more exercise is needed to take in more air. It takes a great deal of oxygen for this to operate, or to become ASSIMILATIVE in the system. (Q) How much iodine should be used in the battery? (A) TWELVE OUNCES should be used, in a sixteen ounce container, Then charged, either with the direct electricity for such a discharge, or thirty minutes with the alternating current. (Q) Is alternating current all right to use by applying hot wire to the positive and the negative wire to the negative?(A) All right. 8. (Q) Can a resistance be used in the circuit to keep battery from over heating by taking heat up in the resistance wire? (A) Provided the resistance is kept nominal and not allowed to take ALL the resistance out. 9. (Q) About what should the resistance be? (A) About twenty-four centimeters. 10. (Q) Should battery time be increased? (A) Made properly, not necessary to be increased. Cayce mentions that the applications had not been made properly. But given properly it will produce the reactions throughout the centers from the solar plexus to that at the base of brain. 5562-3 F 12 Cayce found some changes for the better While some conditions acting as retractions cause disturbance and anxiety, he cautioned if you would follow what has been given you will improve. Eliminations were to be kept up even overdone of system from the genitive system, from the alimentary canal, kidneys, liver, lungs and respiratory, or the secretions through the whole of the respiratory system, or perspiratory system, or both. Do not get over excited. Mayblossom Bitters were not being made properly. Bromides, would care for the eliminations in this direction better. Those, the compound of the bromides in form known as Bromidia, and added TO same those of Calisaya and of the Valerian, stimulated sufficiently with the Capsici to produce the activities through the whole of the system (Q) What is cause of deafness in right ear? Can it be relieved? Cayce said this same pressure, from the lumbar and sacral and lower dorsal do affect, the nerve SYSTEMS, and especially the auditory, proper coordination will bring the proper reactions in this direction. (Q) Would you advise colonic irrigation? If so, how often? Cayce said provided that there is NOT the proper eliminations through alimentary canal, for pressure must bring distress so give but not too often, as to produce irritation, but keep the alimentary canal open, and do not allow the system to receive pressures by the production of any fecal matter accumulation in any portion of the colon. 5562-4 F 12 Improvements noted. Now relax those conditions as exist in the lower end of cerebrospinal system, in the coccyx; also TAUTNESS should be brought in the upper cervical regions. Vary the character OF the manipulation. Tautening will cause less recurrence of the vibrations, which prevent NORMAL forces in the nerve system. Convulsions were becoming more frequent, cayce said this was normal for the brain forces were becoming better. We will find reduction in these, in severity, in numbers also. Increase the dosage also in those of the Mayblossom Bitters, and decrease the number of the sedative forces in system - see? If convulsions are frequent? Prescription should be given more. Diet now was very good. More exercise was needed, out in the open air. 5562-5 Improvements noted but there was a need to follow the information much more closely. 5562-6 The patient must be kept quiet, Why have the attacks been worse the past week? Excitement and the mental reactions were causing the problems. 5562-7 F 12 Excitement must be controlled, not good one day and bad the next, reactions come to the physical forces caused from the rush of the activities to those centers which cause the spasmodic contractions in muscular centers and ganglia of the nerve system. To suppress these by the giving of ANY sedative or drug in an attempt to deaden, is to only take from the INDIVIDUALITY OF the ENTITY and brings greater suppression. Patience and awaken the spiritual WITHIN the body, not only by precept but also by example! Do not pray like angels and live like devils! To do this is an abomination to those seeking to know HIS face! .. (Q) Are all treatments being given properly? (A) Treatments were given properly. The MENTAL, for the SPIRITUAL aspects of the treatment were not being followed. 5562-8 Cayce said keep well to the diet exercise and beware of the excitement. 5562-10 F 12 Improvements noted, the suppressions were now finding an expression Repression and suppression, has been the greater cause OF the conditions being over active, or responsive, during certain periods (Q) Why do the attacks still continue? The whole SUBJUGATION has not LOOSENED itself. A change in that of the ministration the Bitters will bring change IN this direction. Dosage would be half a teaspoonful three times each day, and as it NEARS the periods when there is the change - or the last quarter in moon - add another dose at the time of retiring; same quantity. 5562-11 F 12 Some improvements noted but a strain which the body has gone has not been so well in some respects, as is indicated by the reactions as are seen in the coordination between cerebrospinal and Sympathetic system. Increase the quantity of the Bitters as given. DECREASE some of the food and some -physical activities, so that we would reduce the avoirdupois; so that, as the coordinations through the system in those connections as are made by the adjustments will stimulate the proper forces in the lyden [Leydig] and will coordinate through the lower portion of the brain. Attacks will lessen when there is closer coordination between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal. Some of the centers were causing some problems some at times were engorged, bring the subjugations to a NORMAL reaction. Stimulate through the lumbar and sacral region, BRING a reaction in the upper portion so that when they act WITH those of the upper portion, that they coordinate with the sympathetic and cerebrospinal outlets. 5562-12 F 12 Osteopathic adjustments were not being done properly. Coordination of the active forces in the glands which direct the nerve energy between the sympathetic and cerebrospinal system, as they enter the brain, there were defective coordinations coming from the genitive system. When there is severe treatments given in the upper cervical and not a proper coordinating treatment given in the lumbar and lower dorsal, we have a reverse reaction, in the same manner as we have from an electric vibration when there is short circuit. So, when giving the manipulations give them with the same coordination in all centers from which sympathetic and cerebrospinal radiate; so that their active forces to the brain will be in coordination. BACKGROUND 2153-1 F 12 Girl 12 years of age who is subject to frequent epileptic fits 2153-1 F 12 Cayce found a prenatal condition with this person Affecting the nervous system of the body; which, combined with the problems in the lacteal duct - on the right side, caused reactions to the sympathetic system which prevents the perfect balance or coordination between sympathetic and cerebrospinal system. The spasmodic reaction is caused at the base of the brain, or through those connections where these systems each enter the brain. Persistantancy and consistentency must be the hallmark of applying treatment Firstly break up the adhesions which exist in the area indicated. A series of applications was advised with changes being made along the way as the body responded. Hot Castor Oil Packs were to be applied directly to the body, over the lower portion of the liver, the lacteal duct center, and extending to the caecum area. Use at least three layers of flannel that is soaked or saturated in hot or warm Castor Oil. Cover it with cloths, and an electric heating pad let this remain on for at least an hour each day for five days. On the evening of the fifth day, following the application of the fifth Pack, take internally a tablespoonful of Castor Oil. It would be well to combine this in something to make it more palatable for the body, - as in root beer. Then Leave off the applications, for five days. Then apply the Castor Oil Packs again each day for five days. After the second series of the Packs, and thereafter, use Olive Oil taken internally, instead of the Castor Oil. Leave off five days, and then repeat the whole procedure. Continue with this alternating for at least five series of the Castor Oil Packs. Once each week, or at least once during EACH series of the Packs, massage the body thoroughly with an equal combination of Olive Oil and Peanut Oil. Massage the oils in, all the body will absorb especially along the spine, from the base of the brain to the end of the spine. Massage well in to these areas gently. Begin at the base of the brain, and massage in a circular motion on either side of the spine; every few inches dipping the fingers in the combination of oils and massaging these into the body. This should be done regularly throughout the treatment series of Packs, Each evening, just before sleep put a pinch (that is, between the thumb and forefinger) of plain table salt (dry) on the tongue. Let this dissolve and then swallowed; THEN a drink of water should be taken. Do this once each day, at bedtime. Refrain from sedatives, or ANY sodas, which have been used to prevent the violent attacks, which have occurred; if these applications are adhered, they should keep down such attacks. In the diet, no sweets. Have plenty of the vitamins, especially of foods that carry B, B-1, A, C, and D. these are to be found, in plenty of citrus fruit juices, plenty of raw vegetables, such as carrots, spinach, celery, lettuce; these raw, grated very fine, or the juice extracted from same, - not large quantities taken (of the juices) but a little bit each day. No pastries or anything like them. After 5 series of these application further treatment will be recommended 2153-2 F 12 Some changes noted, But little change for the better indicated. Adhesions and lesions were still present through the right area of the upper portion of the abdomen; and incoordination between the cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous system. The spasmodic reactions sometimes appear more severe, This is causing greater disturbance to the whole nervous system.narcotics or sedatives apparently are necessary evils; but are needed to allay the severeness of attacks at this particular period. Cayce noted the treatment was not being followed properly, and cautioned every other day, apply the Castor Oil Packs over the abdominal and caecum area. These should be put on warm, but with plenty of oil; and then apply the electric pad to cause better absorption of it. Keep on for forty to sixty minutes. Following this when there is the sponging off of the body, with a lukewarm soda water (baking soda or bicarbonate of soda). Massage the abdomen with Peanut Oil, - not too much of this, but sufficient that there may be some absorption, this will the break up of the lesions in this area. Add general relaxing treatments and osteopathic adjustments along the whole of the cerebrospinal area, from the lower portion of the spine upward, making the adjustments. This is different to the ordinary manner of making adjustments. Use knuckle or finger upon either side of the spine and touch each segment when doing the adjusting. Prepare a tonic to be given to take the place of a sedative. After the first three or four days, this should enable most of the sedatives to be eliminated - or very little of other sedatives will be necessary after this is begun. To a gallon measure of Passion Flower with blossom and fruit (preferably dried), add 2 gallons of distilled water. Reduce this by boiling until there are 2 quarts, when strained. To this add 1 pint of Grain Alcohol (90% proof or that strength, at least). Dosage of this would be three tablespoonfuls each day, one after or at each meal. Cayce still advised against sweets. Have fruits - that is, the natural fruit sweets - or honey with the honeycomb, but not great quantities. Vegetables and vegetable juices should be the principal portion of the diet. Consistentency and persistentency with the Packs, the massages and adjustments, the tonic and the diet, - should show considerable improvement; and, as the natural result of this balancing, a much better coordination between the physical and mental forces of the body. No way except close observance may determine as to when the attacks will occur, there should be someone with the body most of the time to indicate when seizures would occur. Then apply a small piece of ice rubbed along the base of the brain, at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervical, this will cause an IMMEDIATE reaction; which will stop the attacks Do any special foods or drinks have a tendency to bring on these attacks? Cayce said, sweets - or carbonated waters. Also advocated was to keep in the open often 2153-4 F 12 Some general improvements noted. Some applications suggested by cayce have not as yet been administered, No attacks had been noted and cautioned that the sedatives or narcotics or could influence the reactions between the mental and physical bodies. The lesions that cause attacks are in the lacteal duct and those areas about the assimilating system and the upper portion of jejunum and caecum. Castor Oil Packs. They will break up lesions, as no other administrations will. The best time to take these is the evening. Keep these up until this coldness AND the lesion in the right side is removed, - which is just a hand's breadth below the point of the rib, or over that area of the ducts. The adhesions in these ducts here were produced by an excess temperature, which the body suffered at a time when there was too SUDDEN dropping of the temperature, insufficient water, or manipulations, or activity, through the alimentary canal. How long should the Mayblossom Bitters be taken? (A) Take periodically. Take regularly for fifteen days, and then leave off for five to ten days; then take again. Do this consistently until the entire total amount had been used. (Q) Would Jerusalem Artichoke Flour take the place of the sweets she craves? This would produce a violent reaction upon the pancrean system, and to the kidneys. The sweets should be honey and the Once a day, early morning, take a teaspoonful of honey (teaspoonful, not a tablespoonful), and there will not be the desire so much for other sweets. No fried foods was also mentioned (Q) Should she be protected from excitement, or allowed to meet it normally? As, the lesions are removed and coordination established in the cerebrospinal system, She should be allowed. (Q) Could dry ice be used in any form to keep a cold pack handy for use at any time at base of brain, as last Reading suggested? (A) Ice in ANY form may be used to push off or stop an attack. Has her stay so far at Va. Beach retarded the attacks? YES the sands and the sun upon them are most beneficial to the general nervous system of ANYONE; 2153-5 F 12 Conditions appeared to be very disturbing, these were reflexes and reactions produced from the attempts at making adjustments for the eliminating of the disturbance. Do at least two thorough relaxations with the Castor Oil Packs, through the caecum and lacteal duct area. break up the lesions in this area; as well as making adjustments from the 9th dorsal downward; coordinating those upward - with those made in the lower area. Q) Two days of the Oil Packs? (A) Two series. At least two of an hour apiece. If the manipulations are given every other day, then it requires. The purpose is to have the body under the effect of this relaxation from the heavy Castor Oil Packs over the area indicated, WHEN the treatments are given, see? Continue the bit of salt at bedtime. The effect is of the Mayblossom Bitters, (A) The passion flower effect is upon the sympathetic nervous system. It is to remove the congestions that are produced in the attacks of incoordination at the base of the brain, through the flexus. (Q) What causes and what should be done to correct, excess growth of hair on legs and arms? Is this from a glandular condition? (A) Cayce said A glandular condition, combined with a disturbance in the general circulation. Do not use anything other than too the thyroids to make better activity there; this done better by manipulation than by drugs. 2153-6 F 13 Improvements in the general physical forces of the body. Adhesions still were found in those areas about the lacteals because of certain pressures brought about in the system - these prevent the coordination between sympathetic and cerebrospinal system; causing the problems. The Castor Oil Packs are gradually working, and will if adhered to, the tension in the areas Indicated will be adjusted. Also the osteopathic adjustments and manipulations are to coordinate this new activity of the system in such a manner Those properties in the passionflower compound have had definite effect upon the body. The reaction of these is to the pyloric and the activities of the glandular systems within the functioning of the lacteals, about the gall duct area itself. These have apparently produced greater spasmodic frequency. There was a real problem with a reaction from the sedatives, which had been given. The passionflower is now to be left off entirely - unless such conditions arise again cayce said they had done their job. Recommended - (Osteopathic) adjustments to those centers from which those areas receive their impulse, to assist this activity in assuming normal reflexes under all areas or conditions. Special adjustments are needed of specific natures and characters to regulate those activities of the eliminating system as related to the Periods, or the genital activities of the bodily forces themselves. Before the osteopathic adjustments are to be made, apply the Castor Oil Packs over the liver, the lacteal duct, the caecum area; letting these extend a little farther over the cerebrospinal area - toward the back. While the body should lie upon the back, or the right side, these should extend almost AROUND the body, -the Packs, - so that the whole area to be relaxed by the osteopathic adjustments may be so relaxed which will be more easily adjusted. These should be done more with the body lying upon its face, hands above the head, - the area in the dorsals, from the 4th to the 9th; first one side, then the other, of the cerebrospinal system. Not so much adjustments in this area as stimulating the activities of the body itself. Then, with the body upon the left side, with the limb drawn high up, treat the 7th and 8th dorsal upon the LEFT side, with the left hand of the manipulator keeping in touch with those reactions in the right area about the lacteal duct - or that below the rib and to that area of the gall duct center. This will indicate to the practitioner the taut areas that are to gradually be broken up. After this adjustment or relaxing - with the body upon the back, the feet drawn up, - gently knead that area about the liver, the gall duct, and extending even to the caecum; gradually breaking up this tension that has been seen or felt in this area by the movements from the left side of the body. After THIS, then have the body on the RIGHT side, with the right limb drawn high, hands above the head and treat those areas from the lumbar to the 7th dorsal, especially on the right and left areas of the cerebrospinal system, for the activity of the coordinating of the genital system to the activity created in the lacteal duct AND caecum area. Keep to the diet, be mindful to the attitudes, keeping helpful people to bring cheery, hopeful, expectant activities. Each evening a pinch of salt - iodized salt; this is given before retiring, or at the time of retiring. This will add the necessary elements for glandular activity. Not too much, but a pinch between finger and thumb. If the body asks for more, give it, - but not enough to cause a thinning of the blood. (Q) Why are hands and feet so cold all the time? (A) Circulation! This has been taken into consideration this is partly why the osteopathic adjustments - to the circulatory forces from the dorsal areas, for the brachial center and from the lumbar area to the lower limbs. (Q) Would colonics be of help? If there is the filling, or pressure found in portions of the caecum and colon area, a colonic would be advisable. This will be found at times; but the greater tension as will be found is not only from the tensions - or the positions, but the tensions in the activity of the lymph and emunctiory circulation through the jejunum and colon in the right area of the body. (Q) Why are the menstrual periods irregular? (A) A problem partly from the circulation and the adjusting of the bodily functions from the glandular forces of the whole system to the activity of such periods. The adjustments and manipulations are for these specific disturbances; as also the purifying of the glands by the use of iodized salt. When asked if more than suggested adjustments would help cayce said (A) There needs to be periods of relaxation; that allow the body to ADJUST itself. That which can be helpful can also be overdone. Make these specific movements as indicated here, for the next six week period, you see; then have a period of rest from same. All healing, then, is from life! Life is God! It is the adjusting of the forces that are manifested in the individual body. The soul- must find in the applications that response which attunes its abilities, its hopes, its desires, and its purposes to that universal consciousness. THAT is the healing, - of any nature! 2153-7 F 13 DEFINITE changes are taking place. The seizures arise now ¡Vare occurring - during the rest periods. Cayce really emphasized that there needs to be a change in the attitude of those around the person RESPECTING the final outcomes, - as relief from disturbing conditions, that there is to be a healing ALSO in the minds and purposes of those upon whom the body is dependent in the present Continue especially with the Castor Oil Packs; that there must be breaking up of the lesions and adhesions in the lacteal duct and the caecum areas. Do not apply the Oil Packs during the menstrual period, but at all times otherwise- on the days upon which the osteopathic adjustments are made, give the Packs at least an hour to an hour and a half BEFORE the adjustments are to be made. Osteopathic adjustments, on the lacteal duct area should receive specific attention; where these lesions or adhesions are to be broken up, you see. We would not give the adjustments either, then, during the menstrual period. But at other periods, let's have these in series of six weeks and a rest period of ten days or the like, and then another series. One environment becomes at times as a drain upon its nerve energy, so some travel will be beneficial (Q) Advise if it will be helpful to eliminate the small doses of Phenobarbital and substitute Dilantin, discovered by Dr. Merritt of Boston. If Dilantin is satisfactory, how much of it should be taken and how often? (A) Dilantin will be helpful here, but DON'T GIVE IT TOO OFTEN! The dosage should be under the direction of the one whom discovered it, or a physician Rather than the maximum dose, give the minimum. (Q) What types of foods are injurious to the body and which should be eliminated? (A) Those that are acid-producing within the system itself. If the attitudes and aptitudes are changed in accordance as indicated around the person and there are the applications of those conditions given, the body will recover entirely from these disturbances. 2153-8 F 13 Conditions may at times appear as if retrogressing; yet the very nature and character of the conditions - from both the physical and the physiological angle - must be considered. Until there is a full correction in the physical or pathological conditions, there will be at times the relapses, or periods of disturbance. Keep on the Castor Oil Packs; that is, at least once or twice a week; over the caecum and the whole of the lacteal duct area. When making the osteopathic adjustments, do but not so deep as to cause disturbance or injury in any manner, DO give a deeper massage - and a kneading of the areas about the lacteal duct centers; just below the gall duct area, between that and the caecum; that we may break up the adhesions there. Small doses of Phenobarbital are given the body three times daily but does not seem to help to reduce the number of attacks which lately have been coming regularly every five days. Advise whether the doses should be increased or continued as at present, or discontinued entirely? Cayce indicated to discontinue and use the Dilantin. You suggested on a previous occasion to give Dilantin in small doses. Since the doctor stated this medicine must be taken in regular doses three times daily, it was not used. Advise whether it will help the body if temporarily the doctor's instructions are complied with? Cayce said to use now, three times daily. But we will find there will be periods when we would change back to the other, But these are only as sedatives, and not as things that cure. The physiological changes, the attitudes and the psychological changes, must be brought about. These are merely palliatives to aid, or to prevent injuries through periods of distresses, 2153-9 F 13 Improvements noted and there are periods when there is the inclination for the system to lapse again into greater and, at times, more violent convulsions. However, these indicate progress is being made. Cayce said there needs to be created in those about the body, as well as in the body itself, the attitude more and more of creative helpfulness ¡V this is to be expressed in their relationships one to another as well as those to and with whom the individual entities are related in daily activity. He cautioned against dependency on the sedatives for, with these we are destroying the will - and the ability of the spiritual and mental forces to resist, or to meet itself, so as to make the proper correction. Continue every two weeks with having a week of the Castor Oil Packs again. Continue with the attempts, osteopathically, to break up those adhesions and lesions through the area from the liver to the caecum; as well as to create perfect coordination in the area from the lumbar, sacral and ileum plexus and the lumbar axis, even to the 1st and 2nd cervical area. These treatments are done in a series 1-2 weeks doing them and then a rest for 1-2 weeks Keep that prayerful mental and physical attitude as we have indicated. 2153-10 F 13 Cayce indicated great deal of change for the body - and for the better. Mentioned also was that this person and the people her about must work on their attitudes the lesions and adhesions which are a part of the physical forces show some improvement, while there are short periods of these being broken up, there are those tendencies for these to re-adhere. And would indicate that some changes are needed in the chemical reactions or influences through the system. The girl¡¦s mental attitudes were improving. But still cayce cautioned that those about the girl also had to make improvements. This element seemed to be quite important. Lack of proper elimination of waste products causes pressures in the extremities, forming a sort of neuritic reaction - as indicated in the limbs, the arms, at times even in the shoulders and across the back. These were easily broken up with exercise. But unless these sources are relieved, or kept relieved, we find that these would eventually come to be more serious. Keep those applications suggested in the varied periods for relaxing the area through the caecum and the gall duct areas; these about the lacteal centers, especially. Apply the Packs and the Massages given again, periodically; that we may keep the more perfect accord in ALL the segments along the cerebrospinal system, and will help the adhesions from forming - do as much as practical. These we find indicated more especially in the right side, or area from the upper lobe of the liver to the caecum area. Keep the eliminations good. For this we alternate laxatives between those of a mineral and of a vegetable nature at the same time the other stimulations are given through the Packs and Massages. If desired, a colonic here would be very well. Exercise such as Riding, rowing, walking - all of these should at times be a part of the experience for the entity. (Q) What should be done for trouble with knee? (A) Increase the eliminations, have a gentle massage occasionally with Peanut Oil. This done after the bath, all OVER the body, as well as more specifically that limb. (Q) Why has not the body responded as indicated in Rdg. of last August that she would? Attitudes as already mentioned were holding the healing back. (Q) Any other advice? Correct spiritual attitudes .His promises - health as well as wealth comes from God. This abused, or misused - the individuals MUST pay! For God is not mocked. 2153-11 F 13 Gradual improvements noted in the physical, the mental and the spiritual forces as manifested through this body. Some unsatisfactory reactions noted. This may be expected, until there has been a full coordination established between the spiritual, mental and physical forces of the body. Cayce said there still exists adhesions in the areas designated; not as severe, to be sure, but still there .Any emotional problem can trigger the epileptic fit. Recommended were regular periods of the Castor Oil Packs, also the osteopathic corrective forces to eliminate the adhesions through the gall duct, the lacteal duct and through the caecum area; coordinating those activities in the upper portion of the lumbar, the lower dorsal and through the cervical areas, with corrections made in those areas indicated from the lower portion of liver to the caecum. Also use the prescriptions to allay the spasmodic reactions which occur in the body from those incoordinations. Do not overgive these, but they are helpful to the body; aiding in bringing the better conditions; until better conditions have been produced between the physical, the mental AND the spiritual forces. Keep patience, do not become impatient. Do not become overanxious. Attitudes should be not as in a spasmodic reaction, blowing hot and cold, overzealous one day and then again fearful and doubtful another. The strength, the health, the financial, the whole of an individual's purpose is in Him. For He is thy health, thy wealth, thy position, thy purpose -if ye will but make Him such. Beware of ever becoming fanatical or imposing upon others any tenet that would be or cause objections, but live in thine own inner self with that awareness which is His promise to thee, - " If ye will be my children, I will be thy God. " (Q) One grain of pheno-barbital is being given the body thrice daily, which seems to reduce the attacks to about once every five days. (A) Cayce said keep on with this but keep on also with the other applications (Q) Treatment prescribed namely Castor Oil applications and osteopathic manipulation has been discontinued since the end of July. Has this proven a setback, or otherwise, to the improvement of the body? Cayce said a setback; and there will be developed those reactions that would become very Obnoxious. Keep on with the applications not merely as something to be gotten through with, but something that is to be accomplished. This was the right attitude. For, remember the Mind is the Builder. If it is negative, or doubting, how can it build properly? (Q) Advise if there is any drug beside pheno-barbital that will prevent or reduce the number of attacks while the body is receiving the treatments prescribed in the Readings? If so, what is its name and how often should it be taken? Cayce said there were others, but this is effective - while its effectiveness is in keeping with those things to be accomplished - we would maintain same. (Q) Prescribe a detailed schedule of treatments, advising how often and how long the oil administrations are to be applied and the osteopathic manipulations are to be given. Cayce indicated These are to be done with purposefulness Whether it is to be a month, six weeks, two months, and then a rest period of two to three to four weeks, determine that in the own selves - and do it, consistently. These are to coordinate with the mental and spiritual activity not only of the body but of those that would have and see same administered. (Q) Since it has been indicated in several previous Readings that the attitudes of either or both parents has not been entirely correct, please advise in detail what should be their proper mental attitudes, so that the body can be assured of maximum improvement. Cayce indicated This must be done of free will, and of purposefulness in the minds, the hearts and the purposes of the individual parents. Think not as to who would descend from heaven that ye might receive direction or a message, or who would come from over the sea. He is within thine own heart. " Thy body, then, is indeed the temple, the tabernacle of the living God. There He hath promised to meet each soul that seeks to know His way. Not then by longfacedness, not then by shouting this or that, but through the " still small voice within " this is an aspect of ourselves that is within us and indicates to each individual as to whether or not the purpose is aright in His sight. Seek then in that attitude as indicated: " NOT MY WAY, LORD, BUT THINE. BE THOU THE GUIDE. SHOW THE WAY. DIRECT IN THAT WE CHOOSE TO DO. " Find the answer, which comes within your self. 2153-12 F 14 The conditions show changes - and in many respects these are very much improved at times more than others. Cayce found a reverting to those disturbing forces of every nature that have been indicated through the body, or arising from those conditions that have been indicated. Also found an irritation to the coordination between cerebrospinal and sympathetic nervous systems. And so long as those attitudes are kept that are necessary in the relationships to those about or responsible for the body, there are better conditions. When there is resentment, or emotional or material upset, there is an irregularity to the tendencies - and irritations arise. Periodically, or regularly, a series of the corrections osteopathically; breaking up those adhesions and those tendencies for incoordinations in the body. The adhesions are especially in those areas of the lacteal duct and the caecum, and those areas along the right side; while the tensions are in the lower cervicals and the upper dorsals. Recommended was the Wet Cell Appliance, using Spirits of Camphor - vibratorially Commercial strength. The attachments to the body as follows: The larger nickel plate, through which the Camphor passes vibratorially, would be attached at the lacteal duct and the umbilical center - or, for this body, about three fingers from the navel center to the right, and two fingers up. The small copper plate would be attached at the lumbar axis. Do this for thirty minutes each day, as the body rests. Change the Camphor solution every fifteen days. Renew the solution for the Appliance every thirty days. Keep the attachment plates clean or polished, before and after using. Keep doing the activities physically and mentally as has been indicated; staying close to the diets outlined, Keep using the allaying drug , but do not take so much as to interfere with those other applications that are indicated. Feed back from the treatment Cayce reported success rate was very high, nearly one half noted either a complete cure or considerable improvement, and the rest did not follow cayce advice completely or did not even report back which is a considerable shame. Others worth mentioning ¡V man aged 32 had epilepsy since 24 was taking Phenobarbital and dylanton, seizures were about 1-2 every two months but side effects of these drugs left him feeling quite mentally disabled, he then tried the cayce treatment and went for approximately 2 yrs with no seizures. Women aged 24 who had been to see many medical doctors who put her on several medications and none seemed to help, at the onset of the treatment she was having seizures at the frequency of 10-12 a day which after taking only some of the cayce treatment was reduced to 1- 2 per week. Both of these responded well but did not have a complete cure in either case The meridian research institute http meridianinstitute.com/ have conducted a preliminary study of epilepsy brief results are. Three individuals participated in a 6-day live-in instructional/treatment program in March, 1996, in which they were taught the elements of the Edgar Cayce therapies for epilepsy. The Cayce perspective is that most epilepsy is a consequence of problems in the digestive system and enteric nervous system, rather than the cranial brain. The therapies included dietary changes, colonic irrigations, castor oil packs, and psycho-spiritual modalities such as prayer, meditation, and purposeful living. The participants then returned home to continue these therapies for 6 months, submitting daily logs of compliance with the protocol. Epilepsy symptoms were evaluated at the beginning of the program and after 6 months. One subject followed the protocol consistently and reported improvement in symptoms. There were no adverse effects of treatment reported by any of the subjects in this project. Although not specifically recommended by Cayce spiritual healing has the capacity to be very beneficial in all illnesses- see other pages on this fascinating subject. Special message for carers Cayce reminded the carers or parents that the epileptic child was a karmic condition for them as well and was best met by the caring for the child as much as possible.

One of the things that can trigger an epileptic seizure in some individuals is if electrolytes in the blood become too diluted. If a person drinks a lot of water and doesn't eat anything, this can trigger a seizure. Actually, drinking a lot of water and not eating something can be dangerous for anyone, but especially for someone with epilepsy. A reminder that some minerals can be lost through sweat. A typical scenario is the person becomes dehydrated because of exercise or heavy work. The person has lost minerals through sweat, and if the person drinks a large amount of water without eating something, what electrolytes that are left become dilute when that water increases blood volume. TCM formulas for the Kidneys sometimes will include the instruction to take with a pinch of salt. Salt is what is known as a " guide " " herb " . (To make things simple, substances other than plants are refered to as " herbs " .)

I just want to emphasize something here for the readers who are unfamiliar with Cayce. One of the things that castor oil packs do is to improve lymph circulation.
