Detoxification and Health
Internal cleansing and detoxification are
becoming mainstream. This article discusses two prominent books on
this important subject along with some recommendations from the Edgar Cayce
readings. Carlson Wade, author of Inner Cleansing: How to
Free Yourself from Joint-Muscle-Artery-Circulation Sludge, advocates
for basic lifestyle practices involving diet, exercise, hydrotherapy, and
massage. Sidney Baker, M.D., author of Inner Cleansing,
Detoxification and Healing is a proponent of functional medicine which
emphasizes the uniqueness of each individual. Edgar Cayce's recommendations
for improving "eliminations" are inclusive of both of these approaches
but also emphasizes the holistic model wherein mental and spiritual purification
are integrated with physical cleansing.

Fishy Diet Makes Sense
When we say that something is “fishy,” we
usually mean to imply a lack of credibility. When it comes to nutrition,
a fishy diet makes terrific sense. Don’t take my word for it, just
peruse recent studies published in some of our most prestigious medical
journals. The April 10 issue of the Journal of the American Medical
Association reported on an extensive study involving nearly 85,000
female nurses who ate fish regularly. Women in the Nurses’ Health Study
who ate fish two to four times weekly decreased the risk of heart disease
by 30 percent, compared to women who seldom ate fish. Eating fish
five or more times weekly decreased the risk by 34 percent. The April
10 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine also announced solid
findings supporting the efficacy of a fishy diet.

Science and the Soul - Part I: The
Mind-Body Connection
Is God in the brain? Can our most sacred
mystical experiences be reduced to chemical reactions between neurons in
the cerebral cortex? Are chemicals, whether medicines or street drugs,
the ultimate mediators of spirituality? These are some of the questions
raised by recent breakthroughs in neuroscience. This emerging field is
called "neurotheology." However, the strictly materialistic view
of the body-mind connection is very limited. A more comprehensive
model that recognizes the importance of centers throughout the body is
supported by historical sources and the Cayce readings. |

GI Tract Infection and Migraine
Researchers at the University of Milan report
that in a study of migraine headache, 18 percent of patients were infected
with the stomach bug helicobactor pylori. Antibiotic treatment of
patients infected with the bug significantly decreased headaches.
Adding a friendly bacteria (Lactobacillus) further enhanced treatment outcomes.
In the numerous readings that Edgar Cayce gave for persons with migraine,
digestive system dysfunction was often cited as a cause.

Vegetables Fight Cancer
A reader observed: "In light of your recent
information on the anticancer properties of phytochemicals contained in
vegetables, you may find of interest Cayce’s comment on the benefits of
these foods for a woman afflicted with breast cancer: 'Feed all the food
that is of a nourishing nature, but not from meats. Those of cereals, fruits,
vegetables, AND such - or principally of the nature that are the foods
of the hare, the foods of the beef - these are destructive forces to such
as may be seen in the condition attacking system.'" (2457-4)
I responded: "Thanks for the wonderful Cayce
quote. Eating the foods that grazing animals eat (i.e., rabbits and
cows) is consistent with some of the alternative medicine approaches to
cancer prevention and treatment. This puts a whole new spin on the rationale
for alternative health practices such as wheat grass juicing and eating
raw foods." - DM
