Hi Friends,

Books written on the Cayce material often say the Readings only recommended consuming raw milk. Was this the case? I believed the books at first, then I came to question the various authors' interpretation of Cayce's readings. Today I figured out what Cayce actually said, and put it in a blog post:

‘Bulgarian Milk’ and Yeast to balance the intestinal microbiome - Edgar Cayce’s Radial Appliance

When I first started reading books written based on the Cayce health readings, most of the authors said that Cayce only recommended the consumption of raw milk. Indeed, some readings told of Cayce telling the recipient to have milk “with the heat of the cow”. This would have been fine advice for someone who lived … Continue reading “‘Bulgarian Milk’ and Yeast to balance the intestinal microbiome”

While looking for quotes for this blog post I noticed that Cayce often counseled people to consume "Bulgarian Milk", which was a form of cultured milk. Read the link for more details.

Hi Friends,

Gardening can be somewhat challenging. I haven’t been especially successful, on account of my living where things only grow when they’re watered. My Rhubarb plants do fine, and I’ve gotten a few sweet potato crops. Here are two blog posts from years past:

Hi Every,

Just finished up a new blog post, titled Probiotic Sourdough Bread, which builds on the email I sent last fall about Cayce’s recommendation for whole wheat bread. Here’s the link:

Probiotic Sourdough Bread - Edgar Cayce’s Radial Appliance

Often the easiest way to get better foods is to do more of the work yourself. If you have all the money in the world there are some commercial whole grain sourdough breads that might be okay. But no bread company uses probiotic yeast in their ingredients. In a recent newsletter I told of the … Continue reading “Probiotic Sourdough Bread”

tl/dr: I’ve started using a probiotic yeast to make sourdough bread.

Hi Friends,

Last month I came across a statement that said doctors knew, circa 1900, that cases of rheumatism - "conditions causing chronic, often intermittent pain affecting the joints or connective tissue" - were often caused by microorganisms in the intestines, and that "intestinal antiseptics" could help with these conditions.

Someone dropped a link to the ARE's page about Glyco Thymoline: https://www.edgarcayce.org/the-readings/health-and-wellness/holistic-health-database/therapies-glyco-thymoline/

I'd heard about Glyco as a mouthwash before, and read about using this internally, but I finally got it: Glyco-Thymoline (originally formulated in 1894) has potent anti-microbial properties, and can be taken internally, a couple drops at a time.

Hi Friends,

Some scientific reports were published recently that anyone who's interested in preserving their vision should be interested in.

tl/dr (too long / didn't read): 3 minutes of deep red light (670 nanometers, not quite infrared), applied to the eyes in the morning, helps older eyes improve the ability to perceive colors.

Red light found to improve vision

I took a tour at a local distillery a few weeks ago. The owner said she doesn’t do much with fruit because it’s messy, and mostly makes gin (juniper berries), whiskey, vodka, etc. Last Sunday I went back, to talk to them about making a batch of apple brandy for me. The master distiller said their local supplier of apple cider has 2000 apple trees in their orchard.

While waiting for the distiller to become available, I recognized a patron, whom I hadn’t seen in a year and a half. She was there with her friend, whom I also knew, to watch the band. The older of the two (maybe around 70) had gone to the hospital twice a few months ago. The second time they sent her home with a note. When she eventually read it, she learned she’d tested positive for the Super-Virus. Fortunately, she wasn’t in bad enough shape for the hospital to need to admit her, or even tell her about the test. Hmm.

Someone figured out for her that there’s also an inflammatory type of reaction to the super-virus. While her lungs weren’t infected bad enough to warrant extreme medical treatment (with oxygen), her overall achiness was caused by the virus.

Shortly after mostly recovering from the super-virus, she developed a case of shingles. This is the re-activation of the chicken pox virus, usually in people who are stressed. She said she’d gotten the shingles jab, in years past, for whatever good that’d done.

One of Edgar Cayce's consistent recommendations in his psychic health readings were whole grains, as whole wheat bread, rye bread, oatmeal, etc.

The world has changed in many ways since Edgar Cayce gave his last readings in 1944. One important difference between modern breads and the breads available when Cayce was active is that modern grains are rather different than the grains that were farmed before the "green revolution" of the 1950's-1970's.

I started on a blog post Saturday afternoon about whole wheat bread. Then I got distracted by searching about the history of fortification. When did the food industry start fortifying everything? An answer was found at this link, on the history of fortification: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK208880/ (Army recruits in 1941 weren't in the best of health, so the government and industry decided to add thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, and iron to make 'fortified flour'. Later they added folic acid to the standard fortifications.)

I received an email from a customer in Australia on October 1st:

Thank you for the 2 [grounding] coins. I tried to buy a cold coin from [Official Supplier] last year but they wanted $70 to deliver it to Australia, and they wouldn’t move from that price. Mate, if you can, start selling more Edgar Cayce products. Thanks again, Good Wishes for the future!

The same day I unfortunately had to take Australia and New Zealand off the places I can ship to: , on account of the Postal Service suspending package service to these two countries. Click the link for my blog post with more information.

Hi Friends,

Edgar Cayce’s readings were given from 1901 to 1944. Some of the foods available at modern grocery stores aren’t quite the same as they used to be. Some are better, some have been changed in subtle and/or substantial ways.

Two staples Cayce frequently recommended were citrus – oranges, lemons, limes, and sometimes grapefruit – and Welch’s Concord Grape Juice.

Modern Welch’s grape juice has “citric acid” on the ingredient list. Citric acid is added to many foods to make them seem more tart, or as a preservative.

Hi everyone,

Last week I filmed a video about how I’m preparing for Cold & Flu season:

Hi Friends,

Last summer I wrote about Cayce’s instructions for light:

Hi Friends,

Part of the Q&A of a Cayce reading was posted to a facebook group dedicated to Edgar Cayce. I noticed the section about vision and glasses:

(Q) What can I do for my eyes, that I may have a better vision? (A) The application of the vibrations, especially in the 1st cervical - or at the base of brain and over the head as given, will stimulate for a better vision. Practice the circular motions for the head and neck, closing the eyes and SEEING self SEEING better. This will create that reaction which brings practice of the nerve and muscular forces to that portion of the sensory system which has been disturbed.
