The Cayce Principles of Diet and Nutrition

The wagon drew up before the office of Dr. Wesley Ketchum in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. It was filled with straw and on it lay the inert figure of Homer Jenkins, a man who worked in the local brickyard.

“He just keeled over in a faint,” the wagon driver told the doctor. “One minute he was working . . . the next . . . there he was stretched out on the ground. We thought down at the brickyard that you had better look at him.”

Dr. Ketchum did look and listen with his stethoscope. He probed and thumped and questioned and tested in his best diagnostic manner. He could find nothing organically wrong with the man. It was a puzzle.

Dr. Ketchum placed a call to his friend and secret colleague, Edgar Cayce, and told him about the case. “I’d like you to see what you can do with it,” he told Cayce. “I can’t figure out what’s wrong with him.”

Cayce loosened his collar and tie, lay down, stretched out, and received instructions from Dr. Ketchum as he slipped into trance.

“The body is suffering from malnutrition,” he told Dr. Ketchum, “too much hominy, hog, and grits.” The treatment consisted of changing the diet and adding lots of greens such as turnip greens.
