On April 9, 1968, she wrote again to Mrs. Davis, asking her help in procuring Atomidine: “Many years ago I had a reading in which Atomidine was recommended . . . This was most beneficial for my eyes.” Now apparently, Mrs. “EMA” was still living and functioning. Atomidine should never be taken except under a doctor’s supervision. It is quite safe and beneficial if used externally
Case 3274
L.R., Bayshore, L.I., was a fifty-year-old woman who had four strokes before asking Cayce for help. She had no remaining paralysis but was suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, menopause problems, extreme edema, pain in her left arm, phlebitis in her left leg, and film over her eyes.
In her letter to Cayce she said doctors did not agree on what was causing her pain and so far no one had been able to help: “The medical doctors said the pain in my arm was a coronary condition of the heart. Another said it was either neuritis or a form of rheumatism. So far no doctor has been able to reduce the swelling nor the intense pain. I sit up a good part of each night. Cannot lie down as the pain gets worse . . . have to take sedatives for the pain.”
Cayce outlined a diet for the diabetes, with plenty of Jerusalem artichokes (a natural source of insulin), and colonics with salt and soda, followed with Glyco-Thymoline to correct the “prolapsus in the colon” that Cayce found as one of the core causes of her illnesses, and “gentle massage or osteopathic relaxing of those tensions in the third cervical and through the upper dorsal [which] should reduce the blood pressure to near normal in six to eight weeks, and we should find the rest of the body responding—the disturbances through the alimentary canal, kidneys, bladder . . . will be overcome by the purifying of the system.” (3274-1)
We did succeed in bringing down her blood pressure from 230 to 150. She wrote Cayce, ”No medical doctor has been able to do this.” We were also able to reduce the edema and the phlebitis. Pain continued in her arm. Since we did not see the patient after some months we cannot report on her progress, but in years ahead we were to have great success over and over again reducing high blood pressure with Cayce therapy and controlling edema with massage.
Case 3032
Cayce’s success in curing psoriasis has received considerable publicity because this disfiguring skin disorder is usually considered incurable by the medical establishment. Although I personally make it a rule not to treat patients with skin disorders (largely because of the prejudices of the clientele in a large institute), I did accept one case and did considerable research on the Cayce approach to this puzzling and baffling aberration.
Although there has never been an officially designated medical cause of psoriasis, Cayce’s theory was that it stemmed from the thinning of the intestinal walls and that usually a lack of lymph circulation through the alimentary canal is involved.
In Case 5016 a twenty-five-year-old woman asked: “Is psoriasis always from the same cause?” Cayce replied:
No, but it is more often from the lack of proper coordination in the eliminating systems. At times the pressures may be in those areas disturbing the equilibrium between the heart and liver, or between heart and lungs. But it is always caused by a condition of lack of lymph circulation through alimentary canal and by absorption of such activities through the body.

The treatment embodied all the principles of the Cayce CARE program—and used all the modalities discussed in this book: diet, elimination by internal cleansing and the use of special herb teas and waters, osteopathy, hydrotherapy, stimulation of circulation through massage, and in some cases electrotherapy
The following excerpt from Case 5016-1 is fairly typical of the cases of psoriasis and the recommended treatment.
A distracted mother wrote in early 1944: “I have a daughter who has had a skin condition for some years. No physician so far has helped her and not we either. We are licensed naturopathic physicians . . . I would like you to please give her a reading soon, so that I can follow your instructions during summer months and she will be cured by September before going back to college. Her trouble was so bad that she had to stop her school work ...” Cayce replied:
While there is the thinning of the walls of the small intestines and there are poisons absorbed through the system that find expression in the attempt to eliminate through superficial circulation, we find that there are pressures also existing in the areas of the 6th, 7th dorsal that upset the coordination of circulation through the kidneys and the liver. These contribute to the condition, causing the abrasions which occur as red splotches or spots at times, and at other times there is the forming of blackheads apparently, or black points on the abrasions, you see, or in the abrasion areas.
... Then, in making applications for corrections here we would first through osteopathic adjustments correct those subluxations upon the right side at the 6th and 7th dorsal and then coordinate the 3rd cervical, the 9th dorsal and through the lumbar, with such corrections. There should only be required about twelve adjustments, if properly made, coordinating the muscular forces in areas where the sympathetic and cerebrospinal systems coordinate in the greater measure.
We would have these twice each week for the first six of the treatments. The others may be spread out longer.
After the first six osteopathic adjustments have been made (not before), begin taking internally a compound prepared in this manner:
| Sulfur | 1 tablespoonful |
| Rochelle Salts | 1 tablespoonful |
| Cream of Tartar | 1 tablespoonful |
Mix these very thoroughly, as with mortar and pestle. Take a teaspoonful every morning, either in water or dry on tongue, until the whole quantity has been taken.
Then begin with Yellow Saffron Tea, a pinch of the American Saffron in a cup of boiling water—or put in a cup and fill with boiling water, allow to stand for thirty minutes, strain and drink, each evening when ready to retire.
Occasionally, about two to three times a week, drink elm water—a pinch of ground elm (between thumb and forefinger) in a cup, filled with warm water (not boiling water). Stir thoroughly and let set for 30 minutes. Drink this preferably of morning rather than at the period when the Saffron is taken.
Eliminate fats, sweets and pastries from the diet. Do have a great deal of fruits and vegetables.
The thinning of the intestinal walls of the intestinal tract would permit toxins to leak into the circulatory system and into the lymph flow
