some ideas on what to do about ALS

[Guest guest]

Re: healing neuro-muscular + detox issues?

 

(Here is an article on ALS by the ARE (Edgar Cayce) foundation. The

information is congruent with Donna's approach. My best friend and

brother-in-law died of ALS before I knew of this approach. Hope this

information helps. John La Tourrette, PhD)

 

In discussing therapy from this single case, the rationale should be

explored to some extent. Much information can be derived from the

multiple sclerosis file since Cayce saw so much relationship between

the two diseases.

 

Cayce suggested that, because the disease (ALS) is of karmic

origin, attitudes must be definitely decided upon by the individual -

not merely assumed - as to the activities toward divine influences in

the body. Where karmic influences are present, Cayce always

suggested that attitudes must be definitely changed or no therapeutic

results would be seen. He said, " The attitude to be taken should be

not merely to be good but to be good for something. The expression

of life is of the Divine. The Divine is that influence or force

called God. Use same, do not abuse same. " (5019-1)

 

Thus we would see the necessity of mental activity bringing about

a change before the physical application of therapy is begun, and

this particular portion must be emphasized in each case. One

directing the therapy can often not properly assess any changes, but

the individual who is ill will know within himself and must face the

truth of the statement as seen here in the readings.

Primarily because of the deficiency of gold, the wet cell appliance

is used to bring cleansing and healing forces to the body " by the

radial activity of the low electrical forces. " (5019-1) The gold,

then, is given by mouth. It seems reasonable to assume, although not

definitely stated in this reading, that gold should be introduced by

means of the wet cell appliance in most cases (or perhaps it would

have been suggested in a later reading for this particular case had

he received a second reading). This would require the clinical

appraisal of the condition by the attending physician, and after a

two-month period, if there is not progressive improvement, the gold

should replace the Atomidine and camphor through the appliance and

the Atomidine might then be given by mouth.

 

In order to introduce at this point a better understanding of the

disease process, a complete copy of reading 907-1 follows this

commentary. This is on multiple sclerosis specifically but, as

already mentioned, probably has a strong bearing on the etiology of

amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

 

III. Suggested Therapeutic Regimen

 

Therapy could be divided into five parts, as follows:

 

First things first - mental attitudes

Wet cell appliance

Massage

Gold taken orally

Diet

In caring for one's attitudes, not enough can be said. Read

Deuteronomy 30 and Exodus 19:5. Then apply these to your life and

thinking. Cayce suggested these particularly in all those cases

where the trouble was deep-set, and was often seen in association

with karma and its physical consequences.

 

The wet cell with the regular charge was recommended. Two

solution jars are to be used: one with Atomidine, one ounce; and

distilled water, two ounces. The second contains three ounces of

spirits of camphor. These should be alternated, the camphor being

used with the attachment at the brachial axis or at the second-third

dorsal area of the spine one day; and the Atomidine solution at the

fourth lumbar area or the lumbar axis, as Cayce described it, the

next day.

Massage should be done gently but thoroughly after the wet cell

treatment for a period of 30 to 45 minutes. It should concentrate on

the spinal areas but should start at the toes and proceed upward,

including all extremities. The sciatic center, the lumbar axis, and

the brachial center should be attended to especially, using a mixture

of olive oil (two ounces), peanut oil (two ounces), and lanolin (1/4

ounce, melted).

 

Every third day, one drop of each of the following solutions

should be added to 1/2 glass of water and taken immediately: gold

chloride solution, one grain per ounce of distilled water; and

bromide of soda solution, two grains per ounce of distilled water.

 

The diet should be low in carbohydrates, and there should be

nothing in it containing alcohol. An alkaline-forming diet should be

followed rather consistently.

 

As mentioned earlier, it would be wise to incorporate into the

treatment some of the information found in the more extensive

Circulating Files on multiple sclerosis. Most often gold chloride

was given via the wet cell appliance. In some instances it was also

taken orally. Thus, after two months, if regular improvement is not

noted, the gold chloride should be started in the solution jar by

means of the wet cell appliance. In this instance the attachment of

the copper plate should be at the ninth and tenth dorsals in the

spine one day, and at the fourth lumbar the next day. When this is

begun, Atomidine should be given by mouth in a series that would be

best suited to the individual. This would be up to the clinical

judgment of the physician. Atomidine has been used in doses of one

drop per day for five days, then left off for a period of time, then

taken again. It has been given one drop a day for five days, then

four drops a day for five days, and then five drops a day for five

days. Then it would be left off for a period of one to three weeks,

then resumed in the same manner. It has been given beginning with

two drops the first day, three drops the second, and so forth on up

to ten drops on the ninth day. Then it is decreased one drop per day

until the original dose of two drops is reached. Then a rest of

several days and the procedure is repeated.

 

As all of these factors are brought together into a course of

therapy, it must be understood that they need to be followed for a

long period of time in order to achieve proper results. In nerve

lesions and rebuilding of nerve tissue, it is only reasonable to

assume that a period of time somewhere between one and three to five

years would probably be involved in such a case.

 

With the rather distressing prognosis to be found in this

particular disease, there would be no reason to cease using a program

that is constructive in its approach.

 

" Do these, as we have indicated... Not as rote, but knowing that

within self must be found that which may be awakened to the building

of that necessary for the body, mentally and physically and

spiritually, to carry its part in this experience. For the

application of any influence must have that which is of awakening of

the activative forces in every atom, every cell of the divine

awakening of the activative forces in every atom, every cell of a

living body. " (726-1)
