Edgar Cayce on Vibrations. Kevin J. Todeschi

inflammation of the mucous membranes–was told that her condition had come about as an aftereffect of surgery for a partial hysterectomy. Cayce prescribed osteopathic manipulation, electrotherapy, and internal medications that the reading stated would assist “the vibratory forces.” She also suffered from general debilitation and backache. Cayce assured her that her health would return by following the recommended treatments. This is how he described her overall condition and prognosis:

       . . . the mucus force, as has been described, has become clogged, as from the catarrhal condition produced in mucus portions of the system. Breaking up of these, through those properties as we have given, and the correction of impulses from nervous system, and the electrical vibration to change the effect of nerve and blood supply, will remove these conditions from the system.

      On another occasion, Cayce recommended a total hysterectomy to a woman who complained of mental problems and psychological aberrations that were causing her a great deal of concern. The reading suggested that it was apparently a hormonal problem that was traceable to her ancestry and heredity. After the surgery, the reading recommended deep massage and vibrational healing that would occur with osteopathic adjustments. The reading ended by stating, “To gain assistance for the body and ease and rest, and to rid it of the hallucinations, do as we have said.” (4285-1)

      A twenty-five-year-old woman challenged with a number of problems, including what she called an “impure complexion,” was given a diet that Cayce claimed would help her eliminations through the intestinal tract and raise “the vibratory forces within the body.” A similar diet was recommended for many individuals who received readings for a variety of conditions:

       Mornings–citrus fruit juices or cereals, but not both at the same meal. At other meals there may be taken, or included with the others at times, dried fruits or figs, combined with dates and raisins–these chopped very well together. And for this especial body, dates, figs (that are dried) cooked with a little corn meal (a very little sprinkled in), then this taken with milk, should be almost a spiritual food for the body; whether it’s taken one, two, three or four meals a day . . .

       Noons–such as vegetable juices, or combined with a little meat juices and a combination of raw vegetables; but not ever any acetic acid or vinegar or the like with same–but oils, if olive oil or vegetable oils, may be used with same.

       Evenings–vegetables that are of the leafy nature; fish, fowl or lamb preferably as the meats or their combinations. These of course are not to be all, but this is the general outline for the three meals for the body.

       275-45

      To be sure, sometimes, in spite of Cayce’s recommendations, individuals were not always able or willing to carry out the necessary treatments to regain their health. A case in point is that of a forty-nine-year-old contractor who had apparently fractured his ribs and breastbone in an accident. Although the fracture had occurred sometime previously and the bones had healed with time, the man remained ill. His complaints included dizziness, pains in his abdomen, indigestion, and a burning throat. Sometimes the pains were so acute that he was forced to take a sedative. A reading was obtained in which Cayce traced all of the problems to the aftereffects of the original fracture. In fact, the reading suggested that some of the injured bone had caused an ongoing irritation in the body that had eventually caused problems with the digestive system and the transverse and descending colons. Because of the thickening of the body’s tissues, the blood supply had also been affected, resulting in a decrease in the man’s energy and vitality.
