Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 See a chiropractor! Make sure any vertebrae haven't been messed up (which probably happened--but don't worry yet, often they can be improved and sometimes healed altogether--but the sooner the better!) And stop taking ibuprofen. I know, that sucks. Over-the-counter painkillers are toxic. Take white willow bark instead (but don't overdo it). It is what original aspirin was first made from and it doesn't have nearly as many bad effects on the body. Make sure you see a massage therapist as well to make sure your muscles don't start forming scar tissue. That happened to my sister's muscles after a bad fall and I'm not sure I quite understand what happened, but it sounds like something like the scar tissue started wrapping around her spine or something like that. She can walk fine, but she has premature back probs at only 21. Make sure that you tell them the problem; their treatment modalities might have to be altered to suit your needs. They will help keep the muscles relaxed and limber. They will also restore blood flow to the area which may help in healing. (I'm partly guessing, since I'm early in my massage therapy training, so if I'm wrong, please correct me!) Ice is a very good idea. Make sure you don't do more than 20 mins at a time, you don't wanna damage your skin or nerves. Get a cold pack and keep it in the freezer. Wrap it in a towel and apply to your back. Stretches are also a very good idea. And of course, listen to the veterans on this board, for they've helped me immensely! Just thought I'd mention what I'd do if that happened to me. I hope it helps Get well soon --Jeni Laura herbal remedies , " Valpofan98 " <snowy1011@h...> wrote: > I took a pretty bad fall down a set of outside wooden steps as a > result of some ice.

He noticed my sutures and said " Oh I see you have had back surgery . . . did you have hip pain before the injury. " I said " Oh ya did I ever . . . .no one would listen. " He told me that all blown disks have the previous condition of having hips which are problematic and need acupuncture and some other art he practiced. I cannot remember if it had a special name but he would move my arms and legs around in a circular fashion. In both directions. I told both the chiropractor and the doctors about the hip pain which I had for about six months before I got radiating leg pain which was symptomatic of a blown disk. I don't know what branch of Chinese medicine would look at the hips in this fashion, but maybe someone on the list who is familiar with this sort of treatment can tell us. None of my acupuncturist have heard of such a thing. Cat ^. .^ ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Hi, I don't know what this technique is called either, but I've had it done too. My chiropractor was also trained in accupressure. I've never had back surgery mainly because I can't find a doctor who will listen. I see now, that is probably a good thing. I have also had severe hip problems and now some bulging discs. I have the radiating leg pain and my foot goes numb several times a day. I have been sitting in the whirlpool more and walking on the treadmill very early before my FMS exhaustion hits. Thanks Cat for sharing your experience. It helps me tremendously. Rick, Good luck with your thesis. Don't do what I did. Remember, to save often and run virus scans. I lost six months worth of research one time. Luckily, I was able to get an extension. Talk about headache! Take care, mjd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I am a L.Ac and a massage therapist and putting you on your stomach and raising the leg , rotating it with your hands in the lower pelvic notch just above the hip, you can feel for any spasm in the piriformis muscle pinching the sciatic nerve, which can cause alot of that hip pain. That is pretty commmon practice, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 My mother suffers from severe back pain. Her sciatica nerve is chronically pinched. The doctor says she has degenerative arthritis in her back. She had back surgery because her vertebrae have slowly deteriorated and the doctor inserted a post in her spine with titanium screws. She left the hospital with worse pain than when she started with, and this was 10 years ago. Now the doctor says she has a condition called ossificans in her lower spine area. She is convinced that only the cold hard drugs she gets from the doctor is the only thing that will help, for ex., she takes hydrocodone daily for the pain, and even then it does not take away the pain, it only makes it slightly more tolerable. She has trouble sleeping because of the pain and recently she has (reluctantly) let me massage her with lavender oil before bedtime, and she sleeps soundly all night long but she credits it to the ambien the doctor gives her, not the lavender! My mother is in her 70s and is slowly and reluctantly letting me give her holistic and natural products to help her, she heard from one of her friends about cayenne cream or capsacian cream. I understand they are one and the same (?) Since she is willing to try it, I want to get it for her. I found some info about cayenne cream on this list in the archives but it doesn't say where and how to get it. If anyone can tell me where to get it or even how to make my own, I would appreciate it, also if anyone has natural pain-reducing ideas for my mother's condition, please let me know.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Yes, cayenne and capsasian are the same thing--hot peppers. There are many products on the market with this ingredient--just go to the drug store and ask the pharmacist to point you to the products. Many people find Tiger Balm (found at health food stores and some Walmarts) soothing and pain relieving. You can make a tincture simply by getting the hottest peppers you can, which are habaneros found in the produce section of most large grocery stores now, as it's THE new spice for food. If not there, look in any Hispanic market place. Other hot peppers are ok to use, but habaneros are the hottest and so give the best, fastest results. To make the tincture you just throw these peppers, unseeded, whole (they are small) into a blender, cover with vodka (get the cheapest American vodka you can find as by law all American vodka must be both odorless and tasteless, so cheap is fine here) and blend. It will turn into a slush. Pour this into a glass jar and cover with more vodka until there is about an inch of vodka on top after the blended peppers have settled on the bottom. Put this in a place where you will see it, but out of direct light and heat, and shake it once or twice a day. After 2 weeks you can strain it through an old t shirt or nylon hose or thin cotton towel. Be careful not to get it on your hands or eyes as it BURNS. It will not hurt you, but you'll wish you hadn't. :-) Now you can use this tincture in anything--cooking, mixing into water and drinking once a day, mixing it into her favorite lotion to rub on her joints Just start with a drop or two and build up because unless you are use to HOT spices, it's far too potent to just Start knocking back a dropper full. I never even used pepper at the table when I ate until I got here to Texas. That spice is in everything. I couldn't eat out as every darn restaurant's food was too hot for me! Then I found out how wonderfully healing that herb is and I SLOWLY learned to be able to take a dropper full straight in my mouth. I don't like it, and I still dance around the kitchen, but I don't curse anymore. :-) Taking cayenne daily can be a pain preventative, blood mover, and help with digestion problems. It's a wonderful herb. If a person is having a heart attack it can be stopped by giving them cayenne. If your mom will try it, you might want to make her a Lakhovsky coil. It's a simple thing really--she would measure her waist, add 4 to 6 inches to that, buy that amount of 10 gauge insulated single strand copper wire, which can be found in any hardware store for less than 50 cents a foot, and wrap it around her waist, under her clothes. No one will know she has it on. The ends need to overlap. Somehow this makes an energy current that balances the body and relieves pain. Other than that explanation, I can't tell you any more--just that it works. And usually fast--she could notice a major difference in just 3 or 4 days. If you do not overlap the ends of the wire, the energy isn't as strong and won't do the job the same. To keep the ends overlapped you tape them, one on top of the other, using electric tape. I found that electric tape lasts the longest before coming off, though you can use masking tape or even rubber bands or tie it somehow. We--the group I belong to about this coil and other healing methods--have found that if you take a piece of the insulated wire into an auto supply place and tell someone you want 8 inches or so of vacuum supply line to fit over the wire, you can buy that really cheap. Then you cut the hose in half, tape one piece onto one end of the wire so it doesn't come off, then tape the second piece of hose on top of the other piece. Now you can slide the " open " end of the wire into the hose and the hose will hold the loop closed, yet it is easy to slip the wire out of the hose when you want to take the coil off. She needs to monitor herself as to how she feels when wearing the coil. I wear mine 24/7 without any problem, but my husband is much more energy sensitive than I am and can only wear his for about 4 hours a day. For sensitive people that's quite enough to give them pain relief, yet not over balance body energy. When sensitives wear it too long they can have weird dreams, and wake up often during the night. I have never had that problem with my coil, and I've worn it since September. I even have my old dogs wearing collars of Lakhovsky coils to keep them from getting arthritis. They were getting to the point where any time a major weather front came through they both would start limping and then, if it was a bad front, they wouldn't even be able to get up from lying down. They have been wearing their L-collars since September and haven't had one episode of arthritis, even though we went through all the fall/winter/spring changes, weather wise (here in south Texas it happens fast :-) Good luck with your mom. Arthritis can be so painful. Samala Renee ---- My mother suffers from severe back pain. Her sciatica nerve is chronically pinched. The doctor says she has degenerative arthritis in her back.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I would introduce your consider the idea of disk reinforcement or replacement otherwise it is merely postponing the inevitable. I am very leer when it comes to the senior population and addictive drugs and now she is on two of them and she may have no idea what kind of a bad road that can lead to. There are two amino acids that are reputed to be good for pain..one I have tried and is great, the other I have less experience with. IF your mom is not yet addicted to the pain meds then please have her try methionine or MSM..they essentially break down into the body into the same thing that helps pain. medusa - " dwntwn1250 " <dwntwn1250 Tuesday, February 20, 2007 2:44 PM Lower back pain > > My mother suffers from severe back pain.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 ---could also try the violet ray Violet ray These machines were in common use in the 1900s and literally thousands of them were being used. It is like a wand in appearance with a bulb applicator, when the machine is switched on, by virtue of a Tesla coil high frequency sparks come of the applicator and a violet glow is seen to appear. Edgar Cayce recommended this device for hundreds of people for all manor of complaints. Some Cayce quotes Cayce said the spine is one of the holders of the physical karma in all of us. According to Allan Wilkinson who uses his violet ray extensively. This is all about getting our thinking right and it would seem to be that the right thinking has many advantages over many other therapies. I've changed the shape of my own spine by getting my thinking right. This point helps one to understand why Edgar didn't always suggest a mechanical adjustment. Right thinking was easier on the body and gave better long-term results. Jesus came into the world to teach us how to think constructively. " Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who thought it not robbery to be equal with God. SFG Book 2. P 52. John 14.6: " I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me. I am the way. " Get physical relaxation and stimulation through the use of massage or the Violet Ray and you will find a cure. Cayce said that the Violet Ray stimulates the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal nervous system and it creates a balance. However, he warns about using it as a crutch for your cure. But if you use it while working on your thinking it becomes an invaluable tool for helping the body. From the time it's turned on it transfers your energies from one area to others that need them more. I have seen the above points many times, coming together to get many cures, so they are worth thinking about. In one reading, on possession, Cayce said that it will drive out negative earth bound entities. These are entities that try to stop you changing the way you think. I did two of these treatments and they were both a success. I gave them the Violet Ray up and down both sides of the spine, three times at a slow to moderate pace. Both had very unhappy childhoods. Their behavior improved from then on and they appear to be still stable. Each needed two treatments only. I believe it would help children with behavioral problems. Don Button's file on research into the Violet Ray, as used in the Edgar Cayce readings, is a wealth of information. If you have a Violet Ray, you will appreciate the file. It's the best information on the Violet Ray that we've got. The Violet Ray helps the body cope with the negative cells when created from past negative selfish thinking while the new positive cells build up through the listening process with the help of improved thinking. Some suggested application methods for general debilitation Treatment Varied considerably Treat the body as in figure 8 that is put the applicator under the right arm pit the first day for 10 mins. Then under left knee the next day, under left armpit the next day then under right knee the next day, then repeat. Apparently these are the same locations where the lymph system cones to the surface. Reading 313-17 states that the violet ray calms the nerves. Also used for blindness and severe headaches, Rheumatism, Lesions, ears and deafness, after effects of surgery. The violet ray was applied to various different places on the body including the eyes, throat spine, arm pits, base of the brain, upper broncials, thyroids even a rectal applicator to treat hemorrhoids, the feet the scalp. Some other explanations followed over the forty odd years – violet ray treatments directly on the spine to stimulate the superficial circulation and revitalize giving more activity to the whole of the respiratory system. The violet ray gives incentives to the nerve centers to be rejuvenated again .The ozone produced from the machine would be most beneficial to the body. It was stated that amperage burns cells and is not helpful. Only negative static dc. Like voltage is life or healing and makes resistance in the system. The violet ray should be applied to the feet and lower limbs along the sciatic nerve and across the sacral and in the plexus of the cervical and upper dorsal. Do this each evening and in 5-6 weeks the body will be more active mentally and physically. This machine is still being used to treat acne and to increase circulation in the scalp. There are also reports of increased hair growth or baldness. The Violet Ray is the current carried directly into the system and is a destructive vibration, while the Radio-Active vibration is constructive. These do not work in opposition to one another, but work on different portions of the system. The application of the violet ray following the packs of salts, when the skin has been opened, or the pores, and the centers along the cerebro-spinal system are ready for response to this low form of electrical vibration, will enliven not only the nerve centers of the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic system, but also cleansing the blood stream itself. This we would give from five to fifteen minutes along the cerebro- spinal system; that is, over those areas that have been covered with the Epsom salts, see? That is, from the base of brain to the first dorsal area, then from the first dorsal area to the 10th dorsal, going towards the Central portion of the body. The application to the side of head and to the eye would be divided between two and a half minutes; for the side of the head - each temple, you see, would be included in the two and a half minutes for both sides, then to the eyes with the double eye applicator for two and a half minutes. Then, after four or five such adjustments are made, begin with the low electrical vibrations to the side of head and neck, and the direct application with the double eye applicator, of the Violet Ray. This will cleanse the body from the poisons as well as any tendencies for those activities of influences from without that are not of a creative or helpful nature. It will also not change the vibratory rate of the body but increase same in its abilities for the use of the abilities latent within to apply the spiritual interpretations and spiritual healings for others. Then, after the three or four or five osteopathic adjustments, begin with the Violet Ray (hand machine). This may be done by self. Apply first the bulb applicator across the lumbar and sacral areas, then across the shoulders and the lower portion of neck and between shoulders, around the side of the head and the face, for about a minute and a half. Rest for about five minutes. Then apply the double eye applicator to the eyes, and then turn on the machine. This would be used for not more than a minute and a half for the body application (with the bulb applicator, you see), and for a minute or less to the eyes with the eye applicator. Do this each day for some ten days or two weeks. (Q) What causes failing of sight at times and what should be done for it? Cayce said The same applies to those conditions where the nerves' reaction to the sensory system makes an excessive reaction in the vision; just as at times . if the body will be mindful of it - there is apparently not as good hearing, the taste is not as well, the vision is not as well; hence reactions from the elementals and from the superficial reaction in the violet ray to produce an attunement with the cerebrospinal and sympathetic centers in the upper dorsal area. The Readings suggested the violet ray for me 20 years ago, and I haven't worn glasses since. So I know from experience what it can do I found the Violet Ray to be very affective. Everyone should have one of these in their homes. Edgar Cayce knew what he was talking about when he recommended it in 900 of his readings. Ray has been mentioned MANY times by Researchers in the early part of the 20th Century and was originally developed from the work of GENIUS Scientist, Nikola Tesla. The Violet or the Neon Ray is a HIGH- Voltage & LOW Current source of HIGH Frequency (10,000+ Hertz) The Ray provides a PLEASANT, TINGLING Sensation to the Skin and Scalp by it's ability to INCREASE Oxygenation in the form of Ozone (O3) into the Blood. It is used today for various Skin and Scalp Conditions, such as Acne, Wrinkles, Dandruff, Gray Hair and Baldness. The Ray appears to also work by BALANCING and ENERGIZING the Nervous System and moves the " Chi " . The Violet Ray has been known to relieve pain to any part of the body by bringing circulation to the area. The electrical currents penetrate every cell and tissue of the body to stimulate and strengthen the vital organs, build up the natural forces, steady the nerves, and develop the general health and conditions of the body. High frequency electrical currents carry oxygen to the blood, thus purifying the vital body fluid. The ray equalizes the circulation in congested parts and restore bruised and inflamed tissues to normal. The applicator rubbed over fat will bring circulation and warmth to the area to metabolize fatty tissue. Wonderful for removing wrinkles, warts and moles. Wonderful for promoting hair growth or reducing hair from falling out. A few minutes application each day can be all that is needed. Many authorities state that impaired circulation of the blood causes most ailments. The Violet Ray uses argon inert gas, that is what makes the violet color in the electrode. The neon gas is what makes the orange color. I can send you to a website where you can more electrode attachments.This hand held unit comes with 3 glass electrodes. Some people report through experimentation- Swelling and painful areas very quickly being relieved, however this does not mean you would get the same result; Knee, back, shoulder, pain ect If you rub along each side of the spine, the organs can become nourished with energy by using the acupuncture points TESTIMONIALS These testimonials you are about to read are from real people but this does not mean you would get the same result. These are results people have reported back to me after buying the Ray. This does not mean you would get the same results as these testimonials below Warren, Fla. This man is in his 60/s has Diabetes. His hands have arthritis and the top of the hands of big spots of black and blue bruising from lack of circulation. He applied the ray about ten minutes each hand, his family was with him. Within minutes he said he could move his fingers and wrists without much pain and more flexibility. His flesh color came back to his wrists that quick except for one spot. Which worked on later. The Ray drew the circulation to the area, ozonated the blood which means it put in oxygen and moved the stagnated blood. (Does not mean you would have same result) Steve in orlando gave his violet ray to his 86 year old mom because after putting it on her Diabetic open wounds once a day for a week. Within that week heal healed up beacuse the ray drew the new blood to the wounds and pushed out the toxic blood.(Does not mean you would have same result) *) Mary M, in Orlando Fla-Called to tell me she used it for a few mintues on her Pancreas which had been in pain for two weeks. After a few moniutes of rubbing the ray over her pacreas, the pain was gone. (Does not mean you would get the same results) *) A women with Crohn's disease had pain on her right big toe. Her right foot was swollen. She applied the ray and within minutes her pain was much better and about 5 minutes later her swelling was down. She was very happy (Does not mean you would get the same results) *) A women with shoulder pain, in minutes was pain free. (Does not mean you would get the same results) Another women called me to say she used it for more energy. She used it on her face for ten minutes. (Does not mean you would get the same results). *) DR. Kion in Fla has had polio for 40 some years. After a week of using the violet ray on his legs a few times a day, he walks more balanced and with reduced pain. It is easier for him to get out of bed in the mornings and has increased energy. He loves it. (Does not mean you would get the same results). *)Reports of wrinkles being reduced. Moles, spider veins, and warts dissapearing are very common The Violet Ray has provided the means of bringing to every home, at a reasonable price, a method whereby every vital process can be quickened and the blood made to course through the body with renewed vigor. If necessary, the treatment can be concentrated on any organ, muscle or nerve, however delicate or tender. By this treatment the impurities are washed from the affected organs by a rich, warm flow of blood which nourishes and stimulates the tissues and which is generated by the penetrating current of the Neon Ray, reaching the cells which supply life to the tissue, and causing them to vibrate. The stagnant pools of blood are thus set in motion and the poisons contained therein are relieved of by the purifying processes of nature. The blood thus being freed of poisons is able to take up oxygen from the lungs and nutrition from the digestive organs and returns tissue building material to every part of the body. In this way new tissue is formed to replace that destroyed by disease and carried away in the blood stream. This process of stimulation is called a " cellular massage " because of the fact that the vibration or contractile effect is expanded upon the individual cells making up the tissue, rather than on individual muscles. This is an important reason why the high frequency current produces such marked effect on nutrition and general health. Cellular massage is much more penetrating and beneficial than muscular massage as produced by mechanical vibration. Increases glandular activity, germicidal action occurs during use and aids in deeper penetration of product into the skin Apply for to reducing wrinkles, growing hair or for any other use, No more than 25 minutes using the Handheld or an hour using the pro model minutes a day, twice daily Can be used on animals and children Where ever the electrode is applied, it metabolizes the fat because of the increase of circulation to the area This device comes with three electrodes 3 electrodesThe General, rake and the rod electrode. *The general is used to apply any where on the surface of the skin. *The rake is for the scalp for hair growth by promoting circulation, also for stopping hair from falling out *The rod for zapping acne, warts, moles, blackheads, ECT Do not use if you are pregnant or have a heart pacemaker Keep away from the computer or televisoin · Electrotherapy for the 21Century, the wave of the future *Reduce Swelling, Pain and Inflammation *Reduce wrinkles, give your self a face lift *Promote hair growth by bringing circulation to the scalp. *Receive an energy boost just like a battery charge *Relief from allergies by ozonating the sinus cavities *Metabolize fat over area where applied *Oxygenate and ozonate your body People have reported this device with great results for every ailment, such as; Healing Diabetic wounds because of the ozonation effect killing the bacteria and bringing circulation to the wounds. Allergies because when you rub the electrode over the sinus cavities the ozonation kills the build of bacteria and replaces the energy to the area. There has been many testimonies of neck, knee, back, carpel tunnel, headaches, Arthritic pain very quickly being relieved. Increased energy and over all well-bei This is not to be used as medical advice. Physicians did use this device successfully for every ailment in the early part of the century. They had glass electrodes designed in 62 different forms. They were used for Cervix, Throat, Prostate, breast cancer. The physicians used this similar high frequency device for ailments from A to Z. until the development of the Pharmaceutical companies. Then the doctors were forced to stop using the Ray which uses the inert gas Argon and had to sell their drugs. If they did not comply they were labeled as quacks. The Ray is sold today only for cosmetic purposes, to reduce wrinkles and promote hair growth by bringing circulation and energy to the scalp and face. Thm to return the body back to balance. If you buy this device you are buying it only for cosmetic reasons, if you use it for anything else it is for your own experimentation and research .. The glass electrode filled with neon rubbed over the area ozonates thus oxygenating the area. Ozonation kills parasites, bacteria and viruses. The blood receives oxygen when the electrode is applied. Where there is pain there is a build up of positive ions, this replaces it with the beneficial negative ions which are very healthy for the body. The Ray may cause electroporation to the cells, meaning the cells become more permeable ( The cells opening up a little more than normal) making the toxins flush out easily and the nutrients rush in. This can detox the cells and improve the lymph flow. Also. Where there's pain, swelling, inflammation and disease there is a problem of low millivolts in the area. This device raises the millivolts eventually back to normal. normal healthy cells are approximately 100 millivolts, an aged cell is 50 millivolts and a cancer cell is 15 millivolts, The Violet ray is a literal battery charge . We are electrical, magnetic, color and sound so doesn't it make sense to balance our bodies with this same form of energy Selective Effects Obtainable A: AS A SEDATIVE As sedative quieting or soothing effect can be obtained and is of great benefit in all nervous ailments. This effect can be produced locally by keeping the electrode in contact with the part to be treated. Painful sensations can be relieved, irritated nerves tranquilized and soothed. Nervous disorders are quickly and beneficially influenced by a sedative treatment. stimulating effect is produced when the electrode is lifted somewhat during the application or used through the clothing or a cloth which has been put over the part to be treated. The length of the stimulating sparks depends on the thickness of the clothing or cloth placed between the electrode and the body. Uniformity in spark length is insured by the cloth. This stimulation is caused by the many small sparks generally called High Frequency Spray. They cause a pleasant and tingling sensation and bombard thoroughly the area which they cover, resulting in a very beneficial heating effect. They also generate ozone which is directly driven into the tissue, causing the ozonation of the blood. These sparks are germ killing and overcome infection. Stimulating treatments through clothing are very beneficial in rheumatism, lumbago, and partial paralysis. Skin disorders, where the circulation is impaired, are often greatly benefited by a slight stimulation. A single layer of a handkerchief produces enough resistance in such cases. An ordinary towel is best to use in chronic rheumatism and similar affections. Loss of weight, lack of appetite, general weakness, lassitude and similar conditions as a rule indicate Anemia or impoverished blood and poor circulation, commonly culled a run down condition. The Master Violet Ray primarily increases the blood circulation. It does what the worn out, run down body cannot do naturally. Disease germs are, therefore, fought and consumed, poisons are dissolved and carried away C: AS AN INTERNAL ANTISEPTIC Wherever the Violet Ray comes in contact with the oxygen in the air it changes part of that oxygen into what is known as ozone, a concentrated form of oxygen that is a great many times more active than that in the air. Oxygen in the blood has the remarkable quality of burning up dead or diseased cells without burning up those that are healthy, and it is the only antiseptic known that can be taken directly into the body with this effect. For this treatment the Master Ozone Generator shown on page 20 may be used with any Master machine for the purpose of obtaining large quantities of ozone for inhalation. The effect of inhaling ozone is much the same as that of inhaling large quantities of pure air, or even pure oxygen. It purifies and enriches the blood, invigorates the body and causes pure oxygen to be taken up in large quantities in the blood stream. Ozone inhalation is of particular benefit in the treatment of respiratory disorders. Taken into the lungs it attacks the diseased cells and causes them to be oxidized and thrown off with the exhaled air. It is a most essential form of treatment for asthma, hay fever, and all lung, throat and nose cases. This treatment may also be obtained by using a surface applicator and applying it to the surface of the body nearest the seat of the trouble. As the Violet Ray leaps from the applicator into the body it carries with it minute quantities of this concentrated oxygen which is thus injected directly into the tissues and blood. This is known as catophoric action and has the effect of overcoming the lack of oxygen in the blood by charging it with an added quantity. An Introduction to the Violet Ray followed by an Instruction Manual that was provided with a violet ray made in the 1930's I have a violet ray device. I originally bought an antique unit off ebay which contained a lot of different attachments. The transformer was mounted in the case and the wand, which accepted the many tubes, was light and attached to the base unit with a thin cord. It was pleasing to use as a stimulant to the scalp with the comb attachment, as well as to use the " pancake " tube to massage rosemary oil or other antiinflammatories into a specific area. It appeared to have a good effect on local infections, even acne. It had a long tube with a coil of wire inside that could be held in a hand for systemic effects. .. Causes of Human Ailments All human ailments, with the exception of certain highly contagious and infectious diseases, can be traced to faulty circulation and impure blood. When exercise is taken as a matter of course and sound sleep and appetite are natural, weakness and disease seldom develop for the reason that the blood is adequately supplied in its richest state to every part of the body, thereby nourishing every organ and muscle and providing adequate protection against any tendency to weakness. As persons grow older, however, there is a tendency to forsake physical exercise and to retire to a quieter and more secluded mode of living. The circulation suffers accordingly, and instead of being driven to every part of the body in its richest state, a portion collects in the internal areas and becomes stagnant because of the impurities thrown off by the body. These impurities are absorbed by the tissues and a condition of self poison results, as a consequence of which the body begins to deteriorate, the digestive organs fail to function properly, the internal organs become sluggish and weak, and weaknesses develop which are peculiar to men or women. This weakened condition of the blood and vital organs leaves the human body easily susceptible to any disease to which it may become exposed. nutrition and general health. Cellular massage is much more penetrating and beneficial than muscular massage as produced by mechanical vibration. Application of the Ray The Master Violet Ray is applied through vacuum applicators or electrodes made of annealed glass. The electrodes diffuse the current in sprays of a beautiful, deep violet color. These sprays vibrate to and fro thousands of times per second. This rapid vibration is what produces the pleasing, invigorating and corrective effect derived from Violet Ray treatments and described as cellular massage. A few minutes application' each day, simply holding the applicator in the hand, furnishes a tonic to the system which does much to fight disease and keep the body in a healthy state. Inasmuch as prevention is to be desired a thousandfold rather than a cure, this point alone makes the Master Violet Ray indispensable in your home. The Violet Ray, while introducing all of the tremendous power of electrical energy Its the body, does so without the slightest pain, shock or contraction of muscles. Its application, on the contrary, produces a pleasing sensation, and the amazing results of the Violet Ray treatment have caused it to be accepted by physicians throughout the country as part of their equipment. The machine is ready for use by simply connecting it to any convenient light socket. The Master Violet Ray is the essence of simplicity and can be operated by a child with the utmost safety. Methods of Applying the Violet Ray Three distinct methods of application are in general use, according to the conditions present and the results desired. First: LOCAL APPLICATIONS One of the greatest benefits of the Violet Ray is the fact that it can be used with such excellent results in local conditions. When the Master Violet Ray is applied to any part of the body, it gives to a certain extent a general treatment by stimulating the circulation. In treating local conditions, these results are greatly increased by giving a local treatment to the part affected. Suppose one is afflicted with rheumatic pain in the shoulder, you apply the Violet Ray treatment to the painful part. The result noted, will be an immediate sensation of warmth. After a slight treatment it will be noticed that the part treated has become slightly reddened by the blood that is sent in response to stimulation secured from the treatment. These local treatments can be given to any part of the body with very good results. They produce the desired results at the treated part quickly and also benefit to a remarkable degree the entire system. The body is penetrated by radiant atomized electricity, restoring energy and vitality to the entire system. Second: GENERAL APPLICATIONS Taken as electrification treatment for the effect on the general condition. The entire body is saturated with electrical energy by simply holding the electrodes in the hands. This produces a sedative or quieting effect. Violet Ray High Frequency Currents have the tendency to establish a normal elquillibrium of the entire nervous system. Arterial tension during a general treatment usually increases slightly while it falls a short time afterward. General treatments are recommended in all nervous disorders and diseases. Third: INDIRECT APPLICATIONS Combines local and general treatments and requires two people. The party to be treated holds the electrode firmly in the hand. A second party then may draw with either hand, finger-tips, or another electrode, the high frequency current to the desired spot of the patient's body. Selective Effects Obtainable A: AS A SEDATIVE As sedative quieting or soothing effect can be obtained and is of great benefit in all nervous ailments. This effect can be produced locally by keeping the electrode in contact with the part to be treated. Painful sensations can be relieved, irritated nerves tranquilized and soothed. Nervous disorders are quickly and beneficially influenced by a sedative treatment. B: AS A STIMULANT AND TONIC A stimulating effect is produced when the electrode is lifted somewhat during the application or used through the clothing or a cloth which has been put over the part to be treated. The length of the stimulating sparks depends on the thickness of the clothing or cloth placed between the electrode and the body. Uniformity in spark length is insured by the cloth. This stimulation is caused by the many small sparks generally called High Frequency Spray. They cause a pleasant and tingling sensation and bombard thoroughly the area which they cover, resulting in a very beneficial heating effect. They also generate ozone which is directly driven into the tissue, causing the ozonation of the blood. These sparks are germ killing and overcome infection. Stimulating treatments through clothing are very beneficial in rheumatism, lumbago, and partial paralysis. Skin disorders, where the circulation is impaired, are often greatly benefited by a slight stimulation. A single layer of a handkerchief produces enough resistance in such cases. An ordinary towel is best to use in chronic rheumatism and similar affections. Loss of weight, lack of appetite, general weakness, lassitude and similar conditions as a rule indicate Anemia or impoverished blood and poor circulation, commonly culled a run down condition. The Master Violet Ray primarily increases the blood circulation. It does what the worn out, run down body cannot do naturally. Disease germs are, therefore, fought and consumed, poisons are dissolved and carried away. As Applied for Specific Conditions and Ills, The Hair, Scalp and Skin If you do not feel well you cannot look well. Many women realizing that good health is essential to real beauty and the prolonging of youth use the Master Violet Ray with faithful regularity The results obtained through its applications will be a revelation to you and in a remarkably short time will bring your body, health and appearance to that condition that Nature intended it should be. Rich, red blood is brought to the skin with the use of the Violet Ray. It nourishes the tissues and cells and brings the radiant hue of health and beauty to the skin. All facial blemishes quickly vanish. Practically every disease of the scalp and hair, as dandruff, falling hair, etc., can be traced to the improper circulation of the blood flowing through the scalp. The roots are fed through the blood, which flows through small capillaries in the scalp almost microscopic in size. Because of their smallness, they become clogged very easily, as a consequence of which most persons are affected with some form of scalp disease. To overcome scalp disease, it is first necessary to remove the cause, and as this is poor nutrition For treating the scalp we have a special comb electrode which conforms to the shape of the head and pulls easily through the hair. Millions of tiny electric sparks from the applicator to the scalp, carrying with them pure ozone which acts as a germicidal agent and destroys any foreign organism which may be present. The tiny nerve and blood vessels are gently massaged, the blood starts flowing and nourishment is brought to the roots of the hair. By the first treatment a warm, glowing, healthy feeling is brought to the scalp, and with a few successive treatments great improvement will be noted. The hair very quickly takes on a natural, glossy and healthy appearance. The use of The Violet Ray for a few minutes each day will make the hair thick, healthy and beautiful. The Violet Ray is used by all modern beauty specialists in the treatment of the hair and skin Neuritis Neuritis, as commonly understood, is rheumatism of the nerves. Although any nerve may be involved, the name neuritis is confined almost entirely to inflammation of the brachial nerves, which run from the upper part of the spine across the shoulders and down the arms. When the arms are lifted slightly sharp, twinging, shooting pains are felt in the arms and shoulders. Temporary relief can be secured by the use of properly applied heat, but a cure can be affected only by relieving the inflammation and removing the cause of the pain. Treatment should be with a very mild current gently applied to the pain area for about three minutes several times daily. As these nerves react very quickly, the first few treatments should be mild and short, but as the nerves become accustomed to it the treatment should be increased in strength and duration. Not only does the Violet Ray improve heath, but a permanent relief is secured by relieving the inflammation and removing the cause of the ailment. Rheumatism- Lumbago One function of the blood is to dissolve and carry away poisons. When circulation becomes sluggish or impaired these poisons, instead of being carried away, are deposited throughout the system, most commonly at the joints. At first this causes slight annoyance; but continued deposits results in the joints becoming solid, swollen, and severely painful This condition is known as Articular Rheumatism and will act upon the muscles in similar manner, resulting in what is commonly called Muscular Rheumatism. Inflammation of the nerve or muscles situated immediately below the small of the back is known as Lumbago. These pains are most apparent when the body is inclined forward or sideways or when these muscles and nerves are brought into use. Application of the Violet Ray to the affected parts restores circulation to normal, drives oxygen directly into the blood and results in a consequent dissolution of the poisonous deposits causing the ailment, thereby relieving the inflammation. Increased quantities of nourishment brought by the invigorated circulation build up and restore the affected part to normal. Headaches - Insomnia - Brain Fog A headache is a symptom of some local or constitutional derangement and not a distinct disease. Few drugs are directly curative and some are paralyzers of the heart while others destroy the red blood corpuscles. When the Violet Ray removes pain it also builds up the forces of nutrition and general health. One of the most common uses of the Violet Ray is the removal of headache and in such a way as to leave the system in a normal and not a " doped " condition. Long, lasting relief is the rule, but some forms of pain return, and for these regular and persistent treatment is required Adequate and refreshing sleep and brain rest is necessary to good health. Inability to obtain these necessities is a very troublesome symptom which one should not neglect. There is no substitute for adequate sleep and rest. The Violet Ray, by its sedative action, tends to soothe and calm the nervous system and equalize the circulation, thus restoring this most essential capacity to normal. typical Edgar cayce applications of the violet ray Use the throat applicator that will apply directly to the activities of the glands about the throat, around the neck and down to the upper portion of the breastbone; or following what is ordinarily termed the collarbone around same, see? This would be used for five minutes just before retiring, only on the three days during the rest period from the Atomidine. During the same time the compound is being taken, we would use the violet ray as a stimulator for the activative forces from the solar plexus to the brachial plexus specifically.This is to stimulate these centers that supply from the nervous system to the organs of assimilation, that will be activated upon by the properties as indicated to overcome this tendency for separations in the digestive area and these conditions that make for disturbance in the body. 5. But apply, for this body, the Violet Ray; especially to the base of brain, around the face and neck, and down at least to the 9th dorsal; not too strong, but using the bulb applicator. Do this about twice each week, just before retiring, for three to five minutes. But don't just hurry through with it - take the time! Use the bulb applicator, and RELAX. Use it to relax, not to stimulate the body. apply the violet ray. Begin at the throat and massage with the bulb of the violet ray over throat, the thyroids, the breast, down through the sternum, over the lower portion of the stomach, across the diaphragm area, and ESPECIALLY down the sides - along the intercostal centers on either side of the body. Such an application of these electrical forces should be for five to ten minutes, dependent upon the reactions to the body. We would begin then once a week to apply that also to the sides of the head, through the temple, and once a week - on the same period when it is applied to the temple (always moving towards the cervical area with the application) - use the double eye applicator of the violet ray; and we will begin then to have some discharge from the eye itself, as a mucous Apply first the bulb applicator across the lumbar and sacral areas, then across the shoulders and the lower portion of neck and between shoulders, around the side of the head and the face, for about a minute and a half. Rest for about five minutes. Then apply the double eye applicator to the eyes, and then turn on the machine. This would be used for not more than a minute and a half 5. Also, the use of the violet ray will make for the nerves' reaction in the cerebrospinal system to be more active, more effective. 5. (Q) Should the violet ray machine be applied now? (A) The vibrations from the violet ray should be applied to the body to keep the vibrations as we have given, both for the nervous system and for the system throughout, especially, for the eyes, the head and neck; as we have given, you s 9. Applying each evening, after the bath, those of the Violet Ray over the extremities - especially the bottoms of the feet, palms of the hands, armpits, across the groin, across the lower portion of the abdomen. This will so stimulate the nerve centers and plexus from which the radiation is to the whole system, as to create a different vibration. After such a treatment is given, massage thoroughly into the cerebro-spinal system - from the base of the brain to the coccyx - those of equal parts of the Tincture of Myrrh, Olive Oil, and Sassafras Oil. Heat the olive oil, adding the myrrh and sassafras oil; using only sufficient to give a thoroughThe Violet Ray application should be preferably AFTER the manipulations for the proper coordinating of the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal forces. 20. We would also use the violet ray over the whole cerebro-spinal system, following a gentle massage that may be given over the body; and ESPECIALLY should this be given over the lower portion of the cerebro-spinal system, particularly in the lower dorsal, lumbar and sacral area. th the application of the violet ray especially in those areas of the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th dorsal; also at the base or in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cervical area. After the evening dose we would apply the plain violet ray over the upper portion of the lung, forward and backward; that is, over the chest, down to the sternum or to the upper portion of stomach; the back from the base of the brain to the 9th dorsal area, you see; two minutes on either portion of the body. This will make for the better clarification of the blood supply and the stronger pulsation to all portions of the system. Q) Would the violet ray be helpful? (A) The violet ray will be helpful, provided there are those activities that make for sufficient assimilations that are helpful toward revitalizing the system. You see, the violet ray is only an electrical vibration that coordinates the vibratory forces of the bodily functioning itself - which means the circulation as related to the nerve forces of the body. Then, to revitalize the old blood cells without new being builded makes for a deterioration quick with same and becomes detrimental rather than helpful. ) What further osteopathic treatments should body take from Dr. Berger to help his eyes improve? (A) Added with those of the violet ray, with the double applicator directly to the eyes, with the drainages set up for those portions of the circulation through the central nervous system. We will find also that, with the massage and the treatments, occasionally - for the resuscitation of the vitality in the body - the use of the violet ray will be most beneficial. This would be applied in those centers from the upper lumbar to at least the 5th and 6th dorsal. This should be applied until there is the feeling of the whole internal forces being electrified. This would be better than the deep 6. Keep the low electrical vibrations. These are preferable to superficial circulation. The plain violet ray, you see. This will REST the body. This should be given from the back of the head to the sole of the feet, and this should be given NOT STRONG - but gentle, to relax the body.er manipulations, and better than the deeper ray We would also find that the application of the violet ray to the upper dorsal and the cervical area will relieve the tension at times to the eye, as well as to the heart's circulation. We would also use the Violet Ray applicator, or the Violet Ray - using the bulb applicator, and beginning in the central portion of the spine treat DOWNWARD; that is, away from the heart, see, away from the upper circulation, to the end of the spine; then down to the toes, principally along the back portion of the limbs, along the sciatic, but particularly over the lumbar and sacral area. Beginning at the 8th or 9th dorsal, go downward each day for FIFTEEN minutes. Do not use the Violet Ray ABOVE the diaphragm area, but DOWNWARD - and AWAY FROM the body. This may be given each evening at the time for retirement, see? 10. And then destroy same through the high frequency activity of the violet ray with the vaginal appliance, that may cleanse the system from disturbing forces, and thus create the activities throughout the body that may bring a better coordination and activity for the body-forces themselves. 0. Each evening we would use the violet ray, with the throat applicator, over the thyroid and the goitre area proper, very lightly, for one minute. Also we would use the bulb applicator of the violet ray from the base of the spine to the base of the brain, or from the end of the spine to the base of the brain - going up and down; not in short strokes but rather LONG strokes - especially on either side of the spinal column, or following more specifically along the area of the sympathetic nerve system; go up on one side and down the other - slow, to be sure, but always the one stroke up and the one stroke down, see? . We would also use the violet ray; not the ultra-violet but the hand violet ray, preferably the hand charge and not the bulb variety, you see. This we would take about the body much in the same way as the Radio-Active Appliance would be attached; that is, one day it would be taken through the right hand and the next day through the left hand; the next day through the right foot and the next day through the left foot, and so circulate about the body. For these vibrations will make for charges in the system that will so stimulate the activities of that released by the raising of the subluxations in the areas indicated as to make for the proper balance throughout the system. It is well that these be taken until there is felt and breathed in much of the ozone created by such an activity; hence would be taken from twelve to fifteen minutes each day. Whether this treatment is given in the afternoon or evening does not matter. If it makes for a continuation of the treatment with the Radio-Active Appliance, it does not matter; for they are as a combination one with the other. We would first begin with the applications of a low form of electrical vibration that may be had through the use of the plain violet ray. Not the deep therapy, but the hand violet ray machine - which will act upon the superficial circulatory forces of the body - applied along the cerebrospinal system. This will relax the body and stimulate the ganglia along the whole cerebrospinal system. Use the plain bulb applicator each day, preferably as the body is ready for retirement, for a least five minutes. Move the bulb applicator rather in a circular motion from the center of the spine toward both extremities; that is, begin in the center and move upward - then begin in the center and move downward - but in a circular motion on each side of the spine from the brachial center, and also from the lumbar center. After the Tonicine has been taken for a week, and at least two adjustments, we would begin then (not before) with the use of the Violet Ray (hand machine); but we would use this a little bit differently from the manner ordinarily used. Do not use the bulb applicator, but rather the ROD applicator; and use it first with the right hand, the next day with the left foot - but lay the anode or applicator upon glass, then place the foot upon same. The next day use the applicator in the left hand, then the next day the right foot placed upon same - after it is laid on the glass; and so on about the body. Do this each day for at least ten days. Then leave this off until the second series of the osteopathic treatments, then take again. Do not take this longer than two minutes in the first series, or longer than three minutes in the second series, see(Q) Violet Ray? (A) This occasionally, not too often - especially if there is the using of the abilities of the body in meditation. This we would put farther and farther off, as the body raises the vibrations of itself. The Violet Ray interferes with the ability of this, in the mental-spiritual aspect. Physically it sets the body in attune. So, this will depend upon whether the body is to rely upon the mechanical or the spiritual forces to enliven the body, as to its particular use. Once in six weeks, once in two months would be sufficient - after the body finds itself able to control itself through these periods of meditation and direction of the energies so raised. If this causes anxiety in the body, leave it off and have a little more of the Violet Ray. e Violet Ray over the whole cerebrospinal nerve system. That is, as the body is adjusted and treated, osteopathically, the next day, or two days, each day lie prone on face and apply the vibrations from the Violet Ray direct to the cerebro- spinal system, beginning at the upper cervicals and following out each center and its branches along the spine. As is seen, head and neck - then the arms and shoulders - then the whole torso, and along the whole length of each sciatic nerve, and especially along the channel, or route, as it were, of each branch of the sympathetic nerve system, treating the body in such a manner for twenty-five to thirty-five minutes at least four times each week. (Q) Have the violet ray treatments been effective in reducing the conditions in the neck? [GD's note: With using violet ray regularly, the glandular swelling was reduced and goitre did NOT develop.] (A) Been effective in part. Needs more of the manipulation to adjust the conditions, so that the vibrations from violet ray would be more effective. We would keep the violet ray for the body. The hand machine violet ray should be sufficient. Apply the bulb applicator of this principally to the 9th dorsal, 3rd cervical, and the base of the brain. Not too long a period, just sufficient to disassociate the flexes as would nominally come as there is the regaining of the NORMAL reactions of the body. to use the Violet Ray following each hydrotherapy treatment; not before, for - with the poisons in the system - this would be more detrimental than beneficial. When begun, apply the Violet Ray especially across the shoulders, down the arms, even to the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and up the sciatic centers of the limbs. Use the hand machine Violet Ray, bulb applicator, and let this treatment be given for ten to fifteen minutes each week following the hydrotherapy. Very high voltage, no amperage. This should be given over and about the portions and parts affected, especially those to the knees. If we will do as we have given, we would find relief for this body. Applying with same those of the Violet Ray, or any ultra Violet Ray, to the scalpular itself, so that the scalp would receive re- invigoration as well as the facial and neck and throat centers. With the relief of this pressure we will find that the circulation will become more equalized, the condition will be reduced in the hypogastric and pneumogastric centers, there will be better digestion, better elimination, and the stopping of the falling of the hair, and the recuperating of the growth of hair on the head, and a better condition for the face, eyes, ears, nose, and all the organs of the sensory system becoming more acute and more sensitive and reactive to the forces of the system. These have been indicated as necessary influences in the experience of this body, as an application, [263-12] through the use of the Violet Ray. This is a high voltage, stimulating all centers that are as the crossroads, the connections between the various portions of the physical-body functioning, the mental attitudes and attainments, as well as the sources of supply; which arose by 9. For the Violet Ray we would apply that to the EYES occasionally (using the eye applicator), and we will find this will rest the nerve reflexes and bring better reaction to the eyes proper, and the stimulation to the nerve system will be beneficial also. the choice of the entity in entering this particular temple, this individual temple. 5. We would also use the [hand machine] violet ray, using the [rod electrode?] applicator where the vibrations themselves are directed into the body. When used, it would be better that this be placed under the arm and the arm closed close to the body, see? especially under the right arm. And we would also, when changing, use this under the knee - with the knee closed against the body, see? This we would use for ten minutes at least every other day, and keep the general activities and the general conditions for the rest of the activity mentally, as well as the balancing of the diets for the system. Q) What is cause and cure for my burning eyes? (A) The applications of the violet ray, in the order as indicated. 2. It would be well at times for such electrical vibrations as the ultra-violet or the plain violet ray to be given to stimulate capillary and the superficial circulation, as well as deeper - when they would be applied soon after or before the manipulations and adjustments osteopathically would be given. Then IMMEDIATELY after each period of the packs, apply the violet ray over the liver, the lacteal duct, the gall duct area and down to the caecum area. Do this immediately after each hour of application of the packs, and only after the 7. Before retiring of evening, be well to take the application of the Violet Ray - plain violet ray, bulb applicator. Let this be from the central portion of the body (9th dorsal) to the extremities, and from the central portion upward - to the head and to the fingertips. Not so much to the head as to the brachial center, the 9th dorsal center, the lumbar center, and then to the extremities. 6. Then we would stimulate the whole of the cerebrospinal system with the violet ray; this also about twice each wee 13. During that week it is left off, however, at least twice during the week have - when ready to retire, after the bath has been taken - the application of the violet ray; this to be along the spine, over the arms, shoulders, and over the limbs. Use the bulb applicator for this, but not turned on too high. This will give the " pick up " or the stimulation that is needed for what might be called the recharging of the centers along the cerebrospinal system, so that there is better coordination between the ganglia of the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nerve system. efore), - to aid in relieving the body tension, we would occasionally use the violet ray; this not every day, but when the body is tired, when there has been an extra amount of either mental or physical exertion, or the mental and physical exhaustion. When ready to retire, give first the shower of hot and cold water, - one, then the other, several times, to get this shock that comes from such sudden changes to the exterior of the body. Then apply the violet ray (bulb applicator) especially along the area from the 9th dorsal to the back of the neck; not over the head nor the side of the face, but along the spine - for a minute or minute and a half. Take this yourself, you see, or at home; for this will not be in keeping with the one making adjustments - he would disagree; but this is what is needed. Use the bulb applicator, and from the areas indicated, - have these pointed out; 9th dorsal to the 2nd cervical, see? NOT on back of the head nor on side of face, for this would be harmful! 11. As to the violet ray application, - there has been indicated a specific time. This has been overstepped at times, with the idea that if a little would do good more would do more good; while at times more does harm rather than good! It is as an overtaxation even to a strong muscular force may weaken, may even deter the best activity. Do not overstrain, but keep the violet ray - and not more than the minute and a half. Two to three minutes is worse than none being given! 19. Also begin about the same time and use, not more than once a week, the Violet Ray (Hand Machine) Vaginal Applicator, - but NOT close to the menstrual periods, for this would produce greater irritation. DO NOT use it BEFORE the osteopathic adjustments are made, but AFTERWARD - the next day afterward; once each week, you see. .. (Q) Does the body have goitre? (A) It is the condition we are giving here for the Violet Ray, in the thyroid region. This is [not an] enlarged gland as yet, but may turn into such if the system is allowed to secrete those particles that will draw and settle in this portion of the body. .. We will find, too, that the use of the eye appliance from the violet ray will aid the vision, relieve the headache, and the strain on the nerve system - especially in the head. Ready for questions. 5. At least twice each week, of MORNINGS, we would apply over the same area - for three to five minutes - those vibrations from the plain violet ray. This should be before the body is aroused, or arises from the evening or night's rest - see? Then rest from five to fifteen minutes AFTER this has been applied (that is, the violet ray). Put the anode directly to the skin. This should be massaged, or applied, from the solar plexus center down, then from the solar plexus center up; each side of the cerebro-spinal system, and especially following OUT same from the brachial center to arms, and from the lumbar center to the lower portion of the limbs. Let this be done on the UNDER side of arm, the UNDER side of the lower limbs or legs, FOLLOWING closely those nerves that go directly from the brachial nerves to the elbow, wrist and fingers; those along the sciatic, or ACCOMPANYING nerve along the lower limbs, to the knees, to the feet. Let us say that the Violet Ray Machine was recommended. A small card would bear the heading: Violet Ray Goitre - 3 to 5 min. over throat daily. R3. 7/10/50 Letter indicated she was using the violet ray, hand machine, eye applicator, for her eyes, as recommended in EC readings for cataracts, and that there are days when her eyes seem definitely improved, then again they are quite foggy - when tired or having used them a lot. [she was using Case [2445] treatment.] ow, to give the best for this body in the correction of the nerve system, and to produce and to keep elimination properly in the system, we would take regularly the vibrations, not from the direct applicator of the violet ray, but from the electrode; that the system through its cerebrospinal system would partake of the vibrations which will give to each and every center, and to each organ in the eliminating system, and supply the emunctories sufficient nutriment and incentive to function properly. This will also assist the centers in the sensory system, and give to the system that of the vibration that will assist the ear in gaining through the auditory vibration sufficient of the incentive to function through proper and normal. Take this vibration for eight minutes each evening, just before retiring. (Q) Would it be well for this body to use the violet ray? (A) Not under present conditions. No. This becomes the over-stimulus to the nerve centers, and localizes the condition in the centers over the system, without reducing the condition producing it, see. The activity of the VIOLET ray, [hand machine, bulb] rather than the ultra-violet, for the present, will be a better stimuli - and well were this given in the lower extremities, and in the active centers where the capillaries are most prominent; as in throat, armpits, elbows, palms, groins, knees, feet, ankles – see 0. (Q) Please itemize treatment for scalp and shampoo. (A) The better treatment for the scalp would be the violet ray, using the comb applicator that will stimulate the scalp itself. But unless these corrections are made, the circulation to the scalp will not be proper, see 3. (Q) Is the deadened gland being brought to normal? (A) Hasn't had time yet! There ARE those indications, as is felt by those conditions in those portions of system, where the digestive forces are active, and their activity to the lung area, through which, into which the blood supply from same comes. These show that there are more SENSITIVENESS, and only need that continuation - as does sore MUSCLES from exercise need the continuation, rather than the bandaging or stoppage of those incentives for their proper activity. These may be aided by the thorough relaxation by low electrical vibrations over the system at times, in and about those centers from which each of these specific places receive their nerve impulse - see? This should be with the VIOLET ray - see? Five to six minutes after the evening dose has been taken, we would apply the hand violet ray for two to five minutes; not OVER those places, but over those centers from which such portions of the body affected - that is, in the caecum liver and hepatic area - receive their impulse. This will cause a centralization of the releasing of the oxygen for the blood supply by the Ash in the system. 18. (Q) Can anything be done to relieve the facial paralysis? If so, what? (A) With the use of these properties as given, taken correctly - not abused, and those vibrations of the violet ray used once each day over the solar plexus, brachial center, over the whole of the fifth nerve centers in face, head and neck, to the limbs through those locomotory centers to the bottom of the feet, these will aid in bringing normalcy in the lymph reaction that is hindered in the facial activity through the fifth nerve centers. 26. (Q) What can be done to relieve the growth on the chest? (A) If there will be the application of the electrically driven vibrator in those portions of the area along the cerebrospinal system, and the violet ray applied over the areas of the growth, it will disappear. 27. (Q) Is this a cancerous growth? (A) Not a cancerous growth. Only lymph. 19. Well that at times the violet ray be used over the liver, the gall duct area; not longer than a minute but this stimulation should be helpful; this preferably before retiring. 3. Well that the body would use for this occasionally, when these become troublesome (as at present), equal parts of salt (common table salt), soda (baking soda) and Cream of Tartar in sufficient warm water that this may be snuffed up the nostril, until it is carried through to the mouth, and increase the length or time of the vibration from the violet ray forces along neck and back of neck, and around throat. This, we see, will keep these eliminations going from the system, prevent the trouble re-occurring in shoulder and in neck and trouble in throat. Do that .. (Q) Is there anything I can do to help my eyesight? (A) The use of the violet ray (hand machine) over the 3rd and 4th dorsal, the upper cervical; and the eye applicator to the eyes themselves, using the double applicator, for half a minute or a minute every other day, would strengthen these conditions. Also the rubs as indicated for the nerve conditions in the body. 0. (Q) An experimental model of an electric, high-frequency exterminator for treating infested food products against worms, and insects, is now being operated at 461 Fourth Ave. (4th floor), N.Y.C., in the laboratory of Allen A. Canton and Alfred G. Kay. This device uses modulated, high- voltage vibrations which act with great speed to exterminate insects. It would have wide usefulness in the food industry. Is it possible to perfect this invention to acceptable and commercial usefulness in the near future? (A) This as we find is possible. And it would be one wherein there would be little of the real food value disturbed by the very activity necessary. In fact, MANY of those would be benefitted by the use of same in the exterminating of insect or conditions which disturb fruits and vegetables. This as we find only needs to be used in such a way and manner that it may be the ultra-violet and not merely the violet ray; or so that the ultra-violet with ITS high-frequency passes through same, see? 0. Also we find that the use of not too high a voltage of the Violet Ray, with the Neck Applicator, will retard or eliminate the tendency for the engorgement in the thyroid area - or reduce or eliminate the inclination for goitre. (Q) Is my throat responding to the violet ray treatments? (A) Fairly well, but there needs to be the better drainages set up for the general system, and we should have then a better response. EC: We have the body here, [1739] - this we have had before. Bettered conditions physical, and the resting of the nerve system, and the constant reactions as are taking place will do most for this body's FULL recuperation. There needs to be some superficial stimulation to the emunctories and lymphatics. These, as we find, would be very effective by - just when ready to retire - giving a stimulation with the plain violet ray, over the whole of the system, see? ESPECIALLY in those centers, or those portions where the stimulation to the emunctories and lymphatic centers EXTERNALLY would be most EASILY gained access. Following IMMEDIATELY with those vibrations from the electrically driven vibrator, but use the sponge applicator on same - and let THIS be along those centers of the cervical, upper dorsal, and THEN from the radial plexus of the lower locomotories. These, given for five to ten minutes, will rest and ease the body. 1. Also each evening when ready to retire, we would use the violet ray (hand machine, bulb applicator), very lightly, for about a minute and a half, along the spine and especially across the lumbar and sacral, and on the shoulders and arms and neck - as a stimulation on these areas, and along the limbs. 12. This done, with the colonics, will tend to relieve tendencies towards sciatica, rheumatism and neuritis - which are the tendencies that naturally arise in this short circuiting of the nerve forces and energies, and the slowed circulation, and quickness of the pulse in some portions and the slowing in other parts of the body. 15. (Q) What should the body do to relieve the itching of the rectum, and bring to the normal again? (A) Using those conditions as we have given for the body. Increasing the circulation in the emunctories and lymphatics gives sufficient secretions to each gland of the system, when the incentive in vibration through violet ray is applied, to relieve the strain on system. (Q) What else can be done to calm down nervous tension? (A) As indicated, just the general massage, gently given but soothingly given. We find that the violet ray (hand machine, bulb applicator), if not given too long, would quiet the 3280-2 Page 2 nerves for the body so it could rest of evening. Apply this along the spine in a gentle manner, face and neck and head; not more than a minute, however. applications - about three or four times each week .. The violet ray, we find, has not been given properly at all times. Not as much of the vibration, neither has the applicator been projected sufficiently far in the vagina to reach those portions of the system that should receive the vibration, for the womb and tubes must be rejuvenated by this vibration. 7. The dose would be half a teaspoonful (preferable in water) three times each day, and when the medicinal properties are being given each evening, give the vibrations from the violet ray over the portions of system, especially where hair is needed, or wanted to be grown on the body, and along the whole length of the spinal system, or along the spinal column and at the umbilicus. Take the vibrations over the whole system for three to five minutes each evening. Do this. We will bring the body to its normal forces. This may be given in the form of the Violet Ray. Preferably apply this to lymphatic centers, as would be arm pits, elbows, knees, and groins. This will effectually assist in the 13. (Q) Should she eat any butter at all? Would this affect the ringworm on her knee? 4281-16 Page 3 (A) Eat no butter at all. Apply Violet Ray for the ringworm on the knee. when osteopathic treatments are taken, those of the violet ray forces over the whole system, especially temples, back of head, 12th dorsal and sacral region, down the lower limbs on the back side. Should 3. 3/19/51 She reported: " I used the violet ray for a time and it helped me, but at the time I was in such a mental and emotional state that I think it took away the help I did get from it. It did help quiet my nerves, though. I used it for about six months.
