Amazon.com Review

From Acne to Xeroderma, almost any health problem you are likely to experience has been addressed by Edgar Cayce (the sleeping prophet). I trust Cayce's information and the remedies in the Encyclopedia of Healing are 99 percent common sense: eat healthy, exercise, and reduce the stress in your life. If you're looking for some magic cure, though, you'll likely be disappointed. Keep in mind that most of these remedies were prescribed for individuals with several ailments. For this reason, I wouldn't go swallowing any strange concoctions before getting a professional opinion, but I would trust these case studies as a guide for better living. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Worthwhile Cross-Reference Tool, February 9, 2006

By	Lisa D. Meyering (Highland, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a cross-reference tool for determining the underlying causes of an ailments, I've found this book to be quite insightful, if not ahead of it's time. For example, I found it very interesting that many of Edgar Cayce's remedies included methods for dealing with digestion-related problems, elimination of accumulated toxins, and restoration of a person's acid/alkaline balance. These factors are increasingly being found to be connected to many of the same diseases that Cayce referenced in this book, from asthma and gallstones, to cancer. In my opinion, his readings went far beyond ordinary common sense, particularly for his day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Labor of love!, July 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Edgar Cayce Encyclopedia of Healing (Mass Market Paperback)

This encyclopaedia is a labor of love. It is the easiest, most painless way of finding what Edgar Cayce, the father of holistic medicine, had to say about what ails you. Just look it up alphabetically from Acne to Xeroderma. Should be on the bookshelf of everyone who is interested in Alternative medicine. Lawrence M. Steinhart, author Edgar Cayce's Secrets of Beauty Through Health.

4.0 out of 5 stars healings through spiritual guides, July 4, 2006

By	Barbara Frush - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Because Edgar Cayce did not remember any of his healings which were conducted while in a trance like condition, his secretary faithfully wrote every word as they were being prescribed. Because of her dedication to him and his work we have accurate and precise records of each healing. Patients would write back or call and tell him of the success of his medical advice and in that way he was able to continue knowing that his "guides" were trustworthy. Being interested in herbal healing and believing in the ability of certain people to attune themselves to the "other world" and information beyond our present abilities, this collection of just some of Cayce's many healings are educational and remarkable. Cayce had no formal training in medicine allowing his gift as a chairvoyant to help hundreds of people. An interesting book for anyone who wants to learn more about alternative healings and who has an open mind about psychic phenomenon.
