JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES & HEALING DIABETES, by EDGAR CAYCE

Jerusalem artichoke is a vegetable which resembles a small potato.  It is available from some health food stores.

 

Jerusalem artichoke is a primary therapy in the Cayce approach to diabetes.  The readings state that the Jerusalem artichoke can be used to decrease or eliminate the need for medicinal insulin.

 

Therapeutic recommendations for Jerusalem artichoke will vary from person to person depending upon the severity of the condition.  For one individual with a slight tendency toward diabetes, the recommendation was to eat two Jerusalem artichokes per month.  For more severe cases, one per day prescribed.  For persons diagnosed with diabetes, starting out at three per week is reasonable.  After monitoring blood/sugar levels, the amount of artichoke's can be adjusted as needed.

 

Here are some suggestions for to using Jerusalem artichoke:

• Before eating the artichokes, have at least two or three spinal manipulations to stimulate the nerve supply to the pancreas and liver.  Ask the physician or therapist to pay particular attention to the 5th - 9th thoracic vertebrae.

• Begin by eating three artichokes about the size of a hen's egg each week.

• In preparing the artichoke, alternate between eating one raw and the next one cooked in its own juices (steamed in Patapar parchment paper).  Eaten raw, the artichoke can be included in a salad or such.  When cooked, be sure to drink the water in which the artichoke was cooked.

• Do not overcook or undercook.  Do not peel, - only wash thoroughly with a brush, then cook it in Patapar Paper - as if cooking an Irish potato.  Season with a little salt, and at times a very small quantity of butter.

• If possible, store the artichokes in the ground.  Otherwise, you may be able to keep them in the refrigerator in a jar of peat moss or potting soil.  The readings state that just leaving them in the refrigerator deprives them potency.

• Various readings advised against eating pickled artichokes or artichokes prepared with vinegar, and products made with artichoke flour.

WHO IS EDGAR CAYCE?

Edgar Cayce (pronounced Kay-Cee, 1877-1945) has been called the "sleeping prophet," the "father of holistic medicine," and the most documented psychic of the 20th century. For more than 40 years of his adult life, Cayce gave psychic "readings" to thousands of seekers while in an unconscious state, diagnosing illnesses and revealing lives lived in the past and prophecies yet to come.

 

Nearly seventy percent of the more than 14,000 psychic readings Cayce gave are concerned with the diagnosing of disease and the outlining of treatment. These readings are still being studied in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Many people who came to Cayce in the early part of the twentieth century came to him as a last resort: most had been diagnosed as "incurable", not only by private physicians, but by renowned medical institutions around the U.S. While Cayce himself had no medical training or education, when he entered a self-induced altered state, his unconscious mind seemed to tap an endless reservoir of helpful physical information. He could accurately diagnose illness and prescribe treatment for people he had never met or seen.

 

Further details of Cayce's life and work are explored in the classic book, There Is a River (1942), by Thomas Sugrue, available in hardback, paperback, or audio book versions, or visit www.edgarcayce.org
