What we think and what we eat—combined together, Cayce said, make what we are, physically and mentally. Hi folks, One of the people Ive been studying and using their materials for years and years, is Edgar Cayce. En-JOY! JML 1. Assimilations: Cayce frequently warned against eating when upset, angry or distressed, saying that due to the resulting physiological changes in the body, food would remain undigested and become toxic to the system. Cayce also spoke of avoiding certain food combinations, specifically those foods requiring different acids to be digested. If such foods were eaten together, Cayce said, one type would be digested while the other would sit and ferment in the stomach thus becoming toxic to the body. 2. Poor elimination was cited as being at the root of a great number of illnesses, and references to it appeared in over half of Cayces medical readings. Apart from taking in nourishment, human cells must also eliminate waste products and toxins to remain healthy, and according to the Cayce readings, [if] the assimilations and eliminations...[were] kept nearer normal in the human family, the days might be extended to whatever period as was so desired, for the system is...able to bring resuscitation so long as the eliminations do not hinder. 3. The third aspect of sustaining good health, according to Cayce, was circulation. The circulation...is the main attribute to the physical body, or that which keeps life in the whole system, he often said in trance, and references to circulation turned up in approximately sixty-percent of the readings. Highlighting the role that circulation plays in assimilation and elimination, he pointed out that there is no condition existent in a body that the reflection of same may not be traced to the blood supply, for not only does the blood stream carry the rebuilding forces to the body, it also takes the used forces and eliminates same through their proper channels. 4. The fourth process Cayce considered vital to good health was what he referred to as relaxation. In trance, Cayce stated that the activity of the mental or soul force of the body may control entirely the whole physical [body] through the action of the balance in the sympathetic [nervous] system, for the sympathetic nerve system is to the soul and spirit forces as the cerebrospinal is to the physical forces of an entity. The nervous system was the vehicle through which Cayces mind as the builder could most directly influence the body. Cayces physical readings divided the nervous system into three parts: the cerebrospinal system, made up of the brain and the spinal cord; the sensory nervous system, which included the sense organs; and the sympathetic nervous system, or the autonomic nervous system, over which a person has no conscious control. According to the readings, the sympathetic nervous system could be considered the brain manifestation of soul forces in the body. Cayce also suggested that within this system, habits—both good and bad—are formed and retained. These habits govern the links between our mind and our body. And apparently anyone could correct habits by forming others! That [goes for] everybody! Although modern-day medical practitioners often look upon the power of suggestion as pseudo science, Cayce often recommended that positive suggestion be a part of a patients daily treatment. Cayce said that emotions, both positive and negative, moved as electric energies through the nervous system, affecting the entire organism. His message here was that the nervous system acts as a conduit and carries impulses and instructions to every cell in the body. Positive and negative thoughts could therefore physically alter each cells functioning. Again, Cayce was far ahead of his time in pinpointing the role that stress played in ones overall health. In one reading Cayce—in trance—stated that worry and fear [are] the greatest foes to [a] normal healthy physical body . For another patient he said, For thoughts are things! And they have their effect upon individuals...just as physical as sticking a pin in the hand! For, as may be told by any pathologist, there is no known reason why any individual entity should not live as long as it desires. And there is no death, save in thy consciousness. Because all others have died, ye expect to, and you do! The ability of a human being to prolong their life, according to Cayce, depends on the proper functioning of the endocrine system. The glands, Cayce said, were that which enables the body, physically throughout to reproduce itself. The glandular system also, according to Cayce, serves as the physical point of contact between a persons nervous system and his or her spiritual bodies. The readings identified seven glands which are also referred to as seven centers, or chakras, which act as both growth centers for the physical body and major spiritual centers. These seven include the gonads—also referred to as the cells of Leydig or Leyden—the adrenals, the thymus, the thyroid, the pineal, and the pituitary. In the 1930s, when Cayce did readings on these glands, their purposes were being hotly contested, and to a certain degree, none would be completely understood by the medical profession until a half-century or more later. For as has been indicated in some manners, some activities, there is an activity within the system produced by anger, fear, mirth, joy, or any of those active forces, that produces through the glandular secretion those activities that flow into the whole of the system. These emotion-caused secretions could wreak havoc with ones health. Anger causes poisons to be secreted from the glands, he said. Joy has the opposite effect. On another occasion he noted: No one can hate his neighbor and not have stomach or liver trouble. No one can be jealous and allow the anger of same and not have upset digestion or heart disorder. Perhaps the most radical assertion he made along these lines was to say that all disease was caused by sin, most notably the sin of fear, for that represented a lack of faith. Fear is the root of most of the ills of mankind, he said in a reading given in June of 1928. Dr. John La Tourrette
