Food Intolerance
The idea of food intolerance is highly controversial
yet gaining in popularity amongst physicians, researchers, and laypeople.
Part of the problem for the slow acceptance of this concept is that the
foods most frequently associated with intolerance are often very common
(such as dairy and grain products). This seems to defy logic.
How can milk or cereal be harmful? Also, the precise meaning of intolerance
varies from one practitioner to another and is sometimes confused with
food allergy.
This article explains the difference between
food intolerance and food allergy. It also includes some tactics
for diagnosing and healing food intolerance.

Wellness Week
The A.R.E. is again offering a wellness week
experience this spring at Virginia Beach. The program is limited
to eleven people so that everyone will get plenty of personal attention
with spa-type modalities such as diet, bodywork, and hydrotherapy. Physical
exams and consultation with a physician are also included. Having
a cook on hand to prepare meals is a delightful way to be introduced to
the Cayce diet. Participants can also learn how to do some of the Cayce
home remedies from the experts in the A.R.E. Health Services department.

Applying Cayce Now: Part 1 - The
Evolving Therapies
For those of us who seek to apply the Edgar
Cayce health information, knowing what to do without Cayce around to give
a reading can be a major challenge. This article is the first
installment in a series directed toward this dilemma. We will begin
by considering four therapeutic modalities recommended in the readings
and how they evolved during Edgar Cayce’s career as medical intuitive. |

The Great American Weight In
The American Cancer Society (ACS) is sponsoring
“The Great American Weigh In” to raise awareness of the link between cancer
and obesity. The main thrust of the drive is to encourage people to lose
weight and get more active. The event, which is scheduled to take place
March 5, is modeled after the Great American Smokeout, the society’s thirty-year-old
annual effort that focuses on the high risk of cancer for people who use
tobacco.
According to Colleen Doyle, ACS director of
nutrition and physical activity, one third of cancer deaths are related
to diet and inactivity. Doyle observes that about 186,000 cancer-related
deaths could be prevented each year if people made healthy lifestyle changes
including improved diet and more exercise.
As a practical matter, the ACS wants people to measure their body mass
index (BMI), a height-to-weight ratio intended to assess obesity.
For more on how to measure your BMI, change your lifestyle, and participate
in “The Great American Weigh In,” visit the ACS Web site at: www/cancer.org.

Toxic Metal Poisoning
A
couple years ago I was diagnosed with toxic metal poisoning. You
have to be near death before doctors prescribe chelation therapy and insurance
plans rarely cover it. Will the three-day apple diet leach out the toxic
metals? R. M. e-mail
To the best of my knowledge there has never
been any research done to answer your question. Nor am I aware of
anyone who has made any such claims for the three-day apple diet.
In reading 820-2, Edgar Cayce stated that eating “... three days of raw
apples only, and then olive oil, and we will cleanse all toxic forces from
any system!” Based on this categorical remark, one might assume that
the diet would be helpful for metal poisoning.
It would indeed be an interesting research
study to see if the apple diet can have a measurable effect on reducing
metal poisoning. I will keep this in mind as a possible future project.
As you are aware, chelation is the common
medical treatment for metal poisoning. You may also want to discuss
nutritional supplementation with your physician as some practitioners believe
that elements such as selenium, zinc, and magnesium can be helpful in reducing
metal toxicity. D.M.
