For those of you who have never heard of Edgar Cayce he was a well known and documented psychic who lived from 1877-1945. Best known for his readings on health and spirituality. Many books about him are available covering various topics. The following is a Wikipedia link that gives some basic general information about him.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Cayce


Personally I am a believer in Cayces' health readings as I have utilized various treatments and products in the past with great success. Particularly castor oil packs.

The first thing I did after I suspected I had MG was to go to the Cayce files to see if there had been any readings for the disease. There was one, given in 1940 for a 36 year old male. It was case #2207-1. The recommended treatment seemed vey odd to me at the time I read it and quite honestly seemed to make no sense. It wasn't until later when I read about work done by others and their successes that everything started to fall into place.

The readings stated that in this instance the condition was partially prenatal and the fact that it had not progressed as he got older was an unusual circumstance. According to the reading this was because of the physical activity and the diet to which the subject adhered to. Unfortunately his diet was never detailed but Cayce was a proponent of proper assimilation and eliminations. So perhaps he was just eating well and going regularly. Or maybe he was already eating other foods that were helpful with his problem. Don't know. But evidently diet is important.


In a nutshell the treatment consisted of taking iodine (in the form of atomidine - which is iodine trichloride) for ten days then stop. Then for the next 14-18 days take one ounce of fresh carrot juice with the noon meal and one ounce of cooked beet juice with the evening meal. Stop and go back to the atomidine for ten days, repeating the cycle for 4-6 months.

What do we have here?

Well the iodine part is easy. No question that iodine is necessary for proper thyroid function. And back in the time of this reading iodine deficiency was very common.

Beet juice and carrot juice? Had no idea at the time what that was about.

So here I am about a week after my problem started, the symptoms are getting worse and I'm still not sure of what I had(confirmed diagnosis was still 2 weeks away).

Figured what the hell, if it's MG this may help and if it's not then it won't hurt.

I cleaned up my diet and did my best to follow the info from the reading. Noticed that after about three days my symptoms didn't seem to be getting any worse and I just felt better in general. Two more weeks go by and it's time for my second visit to the first neuro. By then I felt as if there had actually been a teensy tiny bit of improvement in my condition. The Neuro confirms that I have MG, but was not EVEN interested in hearing what I was doing to help myself. He says "here, take these pills. They will make you drool, sick to your stomach, vomit and have diaharrea. But don't worry about it, you'll get used to it. Come back and see me in 30 days".

I don't think so "Doc".......... But I digress.

Further reading and research made everything fall into place. The thyroid and thymus are the two most important factors in a very complex immune system. Iodine supports the thyroid. Other researchers believe that manganese supports the thymus and that vitamin A helps the thymus utilize the manganese.

Carrot juice= vitamin A
Beet juice= Beets are about the highest food in manganese content.

So in 1940 in a psychic reading Cayce gave the treatment for MG that later researchers apparently have confirmed.

This is how I got started. I changed the form of iodine I was taking and use manganese amino acid chelate instead of beet juice. Added and discarded other supplements as I went along based on whether I felt them to be helpful or not. Cleaned up my diet and quit eating any foods that I suspected an intolerance to.

PATIENCE _ PERSEVERANCE_POSITIVE ATTITUDE

Worked for me. Maybe you also?

I'm 30lbs lighter than I was a year ago. The random pains and swellings in my joints went away. The fingers on my right hand had gotten so bad that I couldn't make a fist. No problem today. I'm even growing hair on my head in spots that haven't seen hair in 20 years. Not much, just enough to fool me into thinking there's more up there than what really is. The men will understand!!! But just the fact that any is growing back means something overall is improved.

That's about it folks. I feel good and am not even concerned about the MG coming back as long as I continue what I'm doing. My blood markers are still as high as they were a year ago but as my PCP just told me "we don't treat the numbers we treat the patient. And right now you don't neeed treatment".

I don't know what else to add at this time.
I'll check in every now and then in case someone has further questions but I won't be on every day. Good wishes to any who may try a similar approach. Remember - No one knows your body better than you do. Ya just gotta pay attention to it!
