     In this month's issue: 
 
Ulcerative Colitis 
     Ulcerative colitis is a particularly distressing form of bowel disease that afflicts an estimated 250,000 Americans.  As the name implies, ulcerative colitis manifests as an inflammation of the colon (colitis) in which ulcers (tiny open sores) develop, causing pus, mucus, and bleeding. The inflammation makes the colon empty frequently, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea.  One of the leading medical explantions for the cause of ulcerative colitis is that it is produced by an intestinal virus.  This view is consistent with Edgar Cayce's frequent assertion that this condition is often an after effect of "intestinal flu."  This article compares Cayce treatment model with standard medical options.  
  
 
Grape Therapy 
     In addition to being a tasty and nutritious food, grapes can provide wonderful therapeutic benefits. Grapes are rich in phosphorous, potassium, and vitamin A.  Grapes contain polyphenol, a heart-protective chemical. Edgar Cayce sometimes prescribed grape therapy for abdominal discomfort associated with bowel disease.  In such cases, Cayce often recommended that Concord variety grapes be eaten, drunk as juice, and used in abdominal poultices. Learn the basics of grape therapy in this article. 
 
 
Toxic Medicine 
     When it comes to medicine, a certain degree of toxicity may be helpful or even essential.  Mainstream chemotherapy is an obvious extreme in this direction.  Some common natural remedies may function in a similar but much less toxic manner.  If you take medicine of any kind, you will find it worthwhile to give some thought to the medicine/toxicity issue.  This article provides some pointers to help get you focused on how you can get the most from any medicine that you take.
