Edgar Cayce and Osteopathic Medicine

Source: http://www.drreiss.com/

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)
