Edgar Cayce on Healing seems so in tune with New Age times that it's hard to believe the "father of holistic medicine" died in 1945. Host Mark Thurston utilizes a talk-show format to interview a parade of doctors, massage therapists, and other natural healing practitioners, including a Jungian analyst and a medical intuitive. How-to tips pop up on the screen to clarify every segment, whether it's explaining the principles of naturopathy ("First, do no harm") to how to help yourself ("Practice moderation in all things") or meditate. In archival footage, Cayce's now-dead son Hugh relates a first-person story about his dad's abilities. The history of how Cayce worked and studied, and his philosophy, is woven into what amounts to a sophisticated guide to all things holistic.
