Since
age 21, Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) demonstrated the uncanny ability to put himself into
a kind
of self-induced sleep state by lying down on a couch, closing his eyes, and
folding his hands over his stomach. This state of relaxation and meditation
enabled him to place his mind in contact with what many believe to be all of time and space. From this
state he could respond to questions as diverse as, "What are the secrets of
the universe?" to "How can I remove a wart?" His responses to
these questions came to be called "readings" and contain insights so
intriguing and detailed that even to this day individuals have found practical help for
everything from maintaining a well-balanced diet and improving human
relationships to overcoming life-threatening illnesses and experiencing a closer
walk with God.
Six decades ago this farmer
from Kentucky, who became one
of the most versatile and credible psychics ever known, was already emphasizing the
importance of diet, attitudes, emotions, exercise, and the patient's role -
physically, mentally, and spiritually - in the treatment of illness. As a
result, he has been sometimes been called "the father of holistic medicine" and has
been recognized for foreseeing the
direction of health care.
Edgar
Cayce was a strong proponent of Traditional Osteopathy above all other forms of
medicine and manual therapy. Out of 14,000 total readings during his
lifetime,
he specifically recommended Osteopathy over 6,000 times, such as in
this quote...
"There
is no form of physical mechano-therapy so near in accord with nature's measures
as correctly given osteopathic adjustments. Others may say what they may,
but prove it by watching those who have them regularly, and who depend on
them." (reading
1158-31)
