Reducing Hypertension
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a major risk
factor for heart attack, congestive heart failure, stroke, kidney disease,
and impaired vision. From a medical perspective, the source of hypertension
is often mysterious. In numerous readings Cayce consistently maintained
that this disorder most often can be traced back to patterns of poor circulation
wherein the return flow of the blood to the heart is hindered. This article
explores some therapeutic options provided by Edgar Cayce to reduce hypertension.
The list includes: internal cleansing, manual therapy, diet, moderate exercise,
radial appliance therapy, and mental/spiritual healing.

Electric Vibrator Therapy
The electric vibrator is one of the most useful
home treatment devices that you can own. Besides soothing aching muscles,
vibrator therapy may be used for numerous common health problems such as
asthma, hypertension, insomnia, and headache. A hundred years ago
electric vibrators were used by medical doctors for the treatment of these
and many other illnesses. The current popularity of electric vibrators
suggests that many people have rediscovered this practical health device.

Embarking on a Journey - Heeding the Call to Transformation
Suffering can play a positive role in
healing – it can serve as a wake-up call for the slumbering soul.
The power generated from suffering can also provide the energy to transform
our lives, if we heed the call. This article discusses the story
of a well-known individual who heeded the call and embarked on a healing
journey. Michael J. Fox considers himself a "lucky man" to have experienced
Parkinson's disease. His story is a great example of multidimensional
healing.

Early Exposure to Dogs and Cats
For thirty years physicians have been taught
that early exposure to dogs and cats is likely to increase the risk of
allergy to these pets later in childhood. Recent findings published
in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA – August
28, 2002) suggest that the opposite may true. The JAMA study focused
on 474 children in suburban Detroit. Youngsters raised from birth in households
with two or more dogs or cats were not only less likely to be allergic
to these family pets, but also tended to be less sensitive to pollen, mold,
and grasses. The researchers concluded that exposure to two or more
dogs or cats in the first year of life may reduce subsequent risk of allergic
sensitization to multiple allergens during childhood. These findings do
not apply to children who are already allergic to pets, who are advised
to avoid such contact. Although further research will be required
to substantiate these findings, the basic concept is that early exposure
may stimulate the immune system so that it does not overreact to irritants
that can cause allergic reactions.

A reader asked about Edgar Cayce's admonition
“No fried foods ever.” The reply explores various aspects of this question
with regard to the Cayce readings as a whole, the medical literature on
this topic, and the role of soul development in terms of empowerment.
Ultimately we each must make these decisions for ourselves and then be
willing to make adjustments based on how our body responds.
