Edgar Cayce on Healing

Description

The 20th century history of parapsychology will probably catalogue Edgar Cayce, one of America’s best documented psychics, as a medical telepathist. Of the more than 14,000 Edgar Cayce Readings recorded, nearly 9,000 deal with matters of health. Cayce’s ability to diagnose, while in trance, the physical disorders of a person he had never met, who might be hundreds of miles away, and then suggest effective treatment, remains one of the most astonishing psychic feats of all times. In Edgar Cayce on Healing, a dozen of these cases are scrutinized by a professional writer, Mary Ellen Carter, and a modern doctor of medicine, William A. McGarey. What sort of person consulted Edgar Cayce? What did the readings mean to those who received them? What light does the quarter-century of medical advance since Cayce’s death shed on his often-unorthodox recommendations for treatment? The often-surprising answers make this book fascinating reading for everyone interested in Edgar Cayce, in psychic phenomena and in medical science.
