Cancer Prevention  
     According to The American Institute For Cancer Research (AICR), nearly everyone is a candidate not to get cancer.  Basic lifestyle choices can make a tremendous difference in helping you live a cancer-free life.  This article contains the five top cancer-preventing recommendations from the AICR.  Edgar Cayce's views on cancer prevention are very consistent with the AICR strategy.
 
Olive Oil - Food and Medicine 
    Olive oil is a primary component of the heart-healthy and popular Mediterranean diet.  But olive oil is good for more than cooking.  Edgar Cayce recommended olive oil as a "food" for the skin and included it in a variety of skin lotions, hair tonics, and massage oil formulas.  Taken internally in large doses as a medicine, oil olive can assist with cleansing the liver, gall bladder, and intestinal tract.  Taken internally in small doses, olive oil can help heal "leaky gut syndrome."  Thus olive oil is both a wonderful food and versatile botonical medicne.
 
 
The Holistic Quest 
      Integrating the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of life into the daily activities of living is a major challenge for all of us.  Becoming clear as to what this means is the first step toward holistic living.  Using the ideals exercise to budget time and energy is a practical tool for applying holistic principles.  This is especially true when we become ill. 
 
Gut Feelings and the Sixth Sense 
     A recent article in Trends in Neuroscience speculates on the roles of nerve impulses from the abdomen to the head in conditions suchs as epilepsy and depression.  These nerve impulses may also be the sourece of "gut feelings" and the "sixth sense." 
 
Prayer and Pregnancy 
     A double-blind, randomized clinical trial suggests that prayer may effect the chances of becoming pregnant.  The participants in the study were 219 women who were treated with in vitro fertilization.  The women who received prayer had a higher pregnancy rate as compared to those in the nonprayer group. 
 
What About Nutritional Supplements? 
     Supplements may be helpuful or even necessary for certain people.  However, on the whole, food is the most natural and best source of nutrients.  If you take nutrients you may want to consider taking them in cycles to avoid dependency.
