BLOOD BUILDING DIET Edgar Cayce often recommended specific diets for persons suffering from debilitation and anemia. He typically referred to such diets as "blood building." Here are some examples of blood building diets recommended in the readings: (Q) Please give in full a blood building diet
for my body. Mornings - either cocoa as a drink, or a MALTED
drink; followed with - a little bit later, half to three-quarters of
an hour - citrous fruits, with rice cakes, whole wheat muffins, or a
little honey (in the honeycomb) with same at times. Then bind about the body that of a band, or support, that will hold (for three to six weeks) the stomach and the diaphragm in its proper position, using throughout this time those properties as the diet that will give the more vitality to blood building, red blood building in the system - taking then those in the diet, using little meat but at specified times, but much meat juices, see? and a vegetable diet that rebuilds blood, such as green vegetable forces: Carrots, beets, lettuce, celery, peas, beans, and those of that nature, see? (4325-1) Occasionally we would add those of the blood building, once or twice a week. The pig knuckles, tripe and calves' liver, or those of BRAINS and the like. See? Ready for questions. (275-24) When the bowels have been flushed, than begin
with a well-balanced diet that will make for nerve and blood
building forces for the body. This would be as an outline,
through it may be altered somewhat to suit the tastes; but be
mindful that - for at least three to four weeks - no candies,
cakes or pies are taken: As to the diet: Take plenty of those things
that are body and blood building. Plenty of citrus fruit
juices, especially orange juice. If a pint is taken EVERY
day it will be MOST beneficial for the body; though the same
amount might be taken morning and evening and still not be too
much. However, do not take cereals within several hours
of any citrus fruit juices. Leave off white breads and
white potatoes, unless just the skins of the potatoes are eaten.
In the matter of the diet, keep those things that are BLOOD building, as in this: Tripe, liver, codliver oil, olive oil - these should be taken with most of the foods. Not sweets, nor vinegars or of the acids that make for same. Let the SYSTEM create that as for the body. Beware of too much meats of any kind, save as those given. Pig knuckle, or those that carry that that makes FOR the characterization of that glucose in the blood, that may aid in aiding and abetting, with that solvent force created by the use of the salts, rubs, and massage, and that will work WITH the GLANDS of the system, as will aid - or be aided by the Soda and Gold in its assimilation in system. (484-1) The foods, then, would be rather of the alkalin reacting nature; but with the fats that would make for the body and blood building. Hence a portion of the diet, as well as the enzymes found in the Ventriculin, at least two or three meals each week, should consist of broiled liver or pigs' feet [fresh, not pickled] or pig knuckle, or those forces that carry that which is building for the body, with the elements in same that will assist in bringing a normal equilibrium - or build the resistances to meet those inroads that have been made by the non-activity of the gland secretions in the body. (726-1) In the diet, keep those things that are body and blood building as much as possible. Liver, tripe, and things of such nature should be a portion of the diet at least two or three times each week. Cereals, citrus fruit and such; though do not eat cereals and citrus fruits at the same meal. Meats of every nature may be taken except HOG meat. No fried meats or fried foods of any kind. Two of the bulbular vegetables should be eaten to one of the leafy vegetables. This is the character of the diet, as we find. (1087-1) Greater precautions needs to be taken in the diet that there are blood building foods; as the whole wheat, beef juices, boiled liver, pigs' feet and the like. These carry the hormones and the gluten that supplies in the assimilating system the better body-building. (1519-4) In the matter of the diet: Let the diet be that as is nerve and blood building. Let it be composed of - at least once each week - tripe, liver, codliver, fish liver, hog liver, pig liver, calf liver - any of those - at least once or twice each week, see? and vegetables and fruits, as plenty of celery and the leafy vegetables. If cabbage is taken let it be raw, rather than cooked. Lentils, beans, peas, spinach, celery, lettuce, and the like. Fruits - pears; no apples; cherries, BERRIES - provided they grow off of ground, not ON the ground - these would be the better. Ready for questions. (3842-1) Note: The above information is not intended for self-diagnosis or self-treatment.
