Читать книгу Edgar Cayce’s Quick & Easy Remedies - Elaine Hruska - Страница 86

In the “Reports” section of the readings not many testimonials are found. Most of the correspondence deals with questions on where to obtain the keg or the apple brandy. Yet scattered throughout are comments on the efficacy of the keg, especially for tuberculosis, that were reported back to Cayce and his small staff. One such comment comes from a letter dated August 17, 1943, from Mrs. [2395], who received only one reading three years earlier:

“It looks like I am always sending out an S.O.S. to you. Do you suppose you could get me any pure Apple Brandy out there and send it to me! I can’t get any here {in Kentucky}, and with Hay Fever just around the corner I would like very much to be prepared to fight it . . . As you may probably remember, in your reading of November 8, 1940, you prescribed the Apple Brandy to be inhaled from a charred oak keg and I feel that it was very beneficial . . . ”

2395-1, Report #7

Cayce wrote a few days later that due to war conditions it was impossible to obtain the brandy.

Perhaps the most well-known account of the keg’s use comes from the Cayce family itself. Gertrude, Edgar’s wife, distraught after the death of her almost two-month-old son, Milton Porter, stopped eating and spent much of her time in bed. Two months later she was coughing up blood. The diagnosis: tuberculosis, a disease that had previously claimed the life of her brother. Her eventual reading in 1911 contained, among other suggestions, the remedy of inhaling brandy fumes from a charred oak keg. Gertrude followed the suggestions, and her lungs eventually became less congestive. It was a slow process, but finally Gertrude was healed.
