3 Your Body in Health and Disease A True Story
ОглавлениеCancer of the rectum is not a pleasant thing to discover in your body. Left unattended, it can, of course, destroy the body. Surgery is the most obvious approach to correcting the problem, and seventeen years ago, when Isabelle was diagnosed as having a rectal cancer, the therapy proposed was an abdominal-perineal resection. This means that the entire rectum and part of the colon would be removed and a colostomy would be created on the abdominal wall.
Isabelle, in her mid-fifties, was a registered nurse and knew what all this meant—and she didn’t want surgery. She was well informed about the Edgar Cayce material and wanted to undergo a treatment that was in tune with his suggestions. She chose a therapy program at the A.R.E. Clinic that extended over a period of nearly eighteen months. When the program was completed, her surgeon removed the shrunken bit of tissue locally—what was left of the cancer—and her body was whole again. In seventeen years, no sign of cancer has recurred.
The therapy program included therapeutic massages, colonics, violet ray treatments, counseling, biofeedback, and regular medical evaluation, but the one thing I recall most vividly was the diet. In the Cayce readings on cancer, one suggestion was to eat fresh green leafy vegetables such as a cow or a rabbit would eat. This is certainly sufficient for both the cow and the rabbit, but human beings are not constituted to find such a diet very palatable, filling, or satisfying.
Isabelle followed such a diet, however, eating nothing but green salads for nearly nine months. She lost about twenty pounds during the first couple of months, then stabilized and stayed at a constant weight. Later on, fruit was gradually added to her diet until the surgeon pronounced her cured. What brought the cure? Mainly the diet, but the various therapies, her attitudes of constructive belief, and the prayers others offered, all contributed their part.
Our bodies are surely tremendous creations. I think the following reading would have pretty well covered Isabelle’s state of health and identified the various physiological changes that were occurring in her body, although the reading itself was given for someone else, years earlier:
But we would make changes in the manner in which the assimilations are carried on, the manner in which the circulations are distributed through the impulses from various ganglia or centers along the cerebrospinal system from which organs of the body may be made to properly coordinate: the organs of the pelvis as well as the hepatic circulation and the activities to the respiratory system.
Thus there may be allowed the elimination of drosses, the elimination of energies or used forces that become as drosses in the activity of the system; so that the activity may become nominal or normal.

Getting rid of a cancer is not simply removal of the group of cells that are apparently causing the difficulty. It means correcting the basic cause of the problem—whether it be attitudes, circulation, neurology, acid-alkaline balance, or whatever—and changing the physiology of the body so that it functions constructively, not in a destructive manner to bring death to the body. This is the manner in which Cayce saw the “forces” within the body acting, always related to emotions, stresses, attitudes, and the belief patterns of the unconscious mind.
