Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Becky - I am not a medical professional, but have used the following protocol to STOP legs from being amputated due to neuropathy: Essential Oils of: Helichrysum Wintergreen Peppermint Marjoram Cloves Geranium One other product: Neurogen cream These are all Young Living products. I have done this on several occasions. The results were amazing. Elisabeth p.s. Please be certain that the conditions which contributed to neuropathic diabetes also change - absolutely NO aspartame or other artificial sweeteners, no otc drugs, etc. This is a very serious, but very curable condition (although doctors prefer to medicate until they amputate). Change of lifestyle choices is essential. Becky <Darraghstar wrote: Hi FolksOne of my friends is having a lot of pain associated with diabetic neuropathy in his feet.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I've sent you an article that contains info about a product (magnetic insoles from Nikken) that can help around 90% of people with diabetic neuropathy. There was a medical study that proved it in over 300 cases with people that had type 2 diabetes. It is simple, cheap (one time investment of about $70 US...$69 Canadian plus shipping) and doesn't hurt. If your friend is one of the 10% who doesn't experience relief (they probably will especially if it has just started bothering them recently), they will still receive health benefits and probably more energy which was the reason I got mine. If your friend doesn't know anyone personally who sells these, you may pass on my email and I can either refer them of if they are in North America, I can arrange to order them. I thought I better post this here so if my email ended up in your bulk or spam folder you would know to look for it.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 David (and everyone), I appreciate your posts and concern and willingness to share but please be judicious about your assertions for the sake of your ability to have alternative and nutritional supplement freedom which is being threatened everyday by the pharmacopeia. You state that you are not a medical professional (a good thing to state) but then state that you are proposing a protocol followed by giving medical advice in the form of telling someone to stop or not take drugs. Not only is this dangerous and illegal it serves to have the FDA come after you AND Young Living and shut you down. There is big money helping these ‘muzzle tactics’ to function. Folks, I know all of our hearts are in the right place and I will be there with you to fight the good fight especially against our pharmaceutical approach to disease. Pharmaceutical drugs are a terrific science and tool for critical care and emergency medicine and they have their place in lifestyle but unfortunately they have evolved to controlling the entire healthcare system and have successfully convinced the world (doctors and patients alike) that drug modalities are the answer to disease and ultimately good health. I know I am ‘preaching to the choir’ on this board to say there is a better answer, but we have to learn how to play the game (albeit difficult at times). If you are associated with good nutritional companies please contact them or review their published guidelines and compliance policies on making drug or cure claims. I am not an attorney or legal expert but just following the basics will keep you (and me) out of trouble in the wellness industry. Keep doing what you do…just follow the rules so we can ALL keep doing it! Blessings to you all!

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 ---could try a device called the violet ray herre is a bit of info on it Violet ray These machines were in common use in the 1900s and literally thousands of them were being used. It is like a wand in appearance with a bulb applicator, when the machine is switched on, by virtue of a Tesla coil high frequency sparks come of the applicator and a violet glow is seen to appear. Edgar Cayce recommended this device for hundreds of people for all manor of complaints. Some Cayce quotes Cayce said the spine is one of the holders of the physical karma in all of us. According to Allan Wilkinson who uses his violet ray extensively. This is all about getting our thinking right and it would seem to be that the right thinking has many advantages over many other therapies. I've changed the shape of my own spine by getting my thinking right. This point helps one to understand why Edgar didn't always suggest a mechanical adjustment. Right thinking was easier on the body and gave better long-term results. Jesus came into the world to teach us how to think constructively. " Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who thought it not robbery to be equal with God. SFG Book 2. P 52. John 14.6: " I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me. I am the way. " Get physical relaxation and stimulation through the use of massage or the Violet Ray and you will find a cure. Cayce said that the Violet Ray stimulates the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal nervous system and it creates a balance. However, he warns about using it as a crutch for your cure. But if you use it while working on your thinking it becomes an invaluable tool for helping the body. From the time it's turned on it transfers your energies from one area to others that need them more. I have seen the above points many times, coming together to get many cures, so they are worth thinking about. In one reading, on possession, Cayce said that it will drive out negative earth bound entities. These are entities that try to stop you changing the way you think. I did two of these treatments and they were both a success. I gave them the Violet Ray up and down both sides of the spine, three times at a slow to moderate pace. Both had very unhappy childhoods. Their behavior improved from then on and they appear to be still stable. Each needed two treatments only. I believe it would help children with behavioral problems. Don Button's file on research into the Violet Ray, as used in the Edgar Cayce readings, is a wealth of information. If you have a Violet Ray, you will appreciate the file. It's the best information on the Violet Ray that we've got. The Violet Ray helps the body cope with the negative cells when created from past negative selfish thinking while the new positive cells build up through the listening process with the help of improved thinking. Some suggested application methods for general debilitation Treat the body as in figure 8 that is put the applicator under the right arm pit the first day for 10 mins. Then under left knee the next day, under left armpit the next day then under right knee the next day, then repeat. Apparently these are the same locations where the lymph system cones to the surface. Reading 313-17 states that the violet ray calms the nerves. Also used for blindness and severe headaches, Rheumatism, Lesions, ears and deafness, after effects of surgery. The violet ray was applied to various different places on the body including the eyes, throat spine, arm pits, base of the brain, upper broncials, thyroids even a rectal applicator to treat hemorrhoids, the feet the scalp. Some other explanations followed over the forty odd years – violet ray treatments directly on the spine to stimulate the superficial circulation and revitalize giving more activity to the whole of the respiratory system. The violet ray gives incentives to the nerve centers to be rejuvenated again .The ozone produced from the machine would be most beneficial to the body. It was stated that amperage burns cells and is not helpful. Only negative static dc. Like voltage is life or healing and makes resistance in the system. The violet ray should be applied to the feet and lower limbs along the sciatic nerve and across the sacral and in the plexus of the cervical and upper dorsal. Do this each evening and in 5-6 weeks the body will be more active mentally and physically. This machine is still being used to treat acne and to increase circulation in the scalp. There are also reports of increased hair growth or baldness. (Q) Is my RadioActive Appliance still good? Cayce said only needs some little overhauling. But this electrical vibration as indicated is the Violet Ray That is needed, as well as the Radio-Active Appliance. This is the high vibration, while the Radio-Active is the vibratory force of the body set to work for making a more perfect circulation. The Violet Ray is the current carried directly into the system and is a destructive vibration, while the Radio-Active vibration is constructive. These do not work in opposition to one another, but work on different portions of the system. The Ultra-Violet or the Violet Ray works upon the superficial circulation, while the low electrical vibration of the Radio-Active Appliance is an active principle with the deeper circulation - though it is taken in through the superficial. The application of the violet ray following the packs of salts, when the skin has been opened, or the pores, and the centers along the cerebro-spinal system are ready for response to this low form of electrical vibration, will enliven not only the nerve centers of the cerebro-spinal and sympathetic system, but also cleansing the blood stream itself. This we would give from five to fifteen minutes along the cerebro-spinal system; that is, over those areas that have been covered with the Epsom salts, see? That is, from the base of brain to the first dorsal area, then from the first dorsal area to the 10th dorsal, going towards the Central portion of the body. The application to the side of head and to the eye would be divided between two and a half minutes; for the side of the head - each temple, you see, would be included in the two and a half minutes for both sides, then to the eyes with the double eye applicator for two and a half minutes. Then, after four or five such adjustments are made, begin with the low electrical vibrations to the side of head and neck, and the direct application with the double eye applicator, of the Violet Ray. This will cleanse the body from the poisons as well as any tendencies for those activities of influences from without that are not of a creative or helpful nature. It will also not change the vibratory rate of the body but increase same in its abilities for the use of the abilities latent within to apply the spiritual interpretations and spiritual healings for others. Then, after the three or four or five osteopathic adjustments, begin with the Violet Ray (hand machine). This may be done by self. Apply first the bulb applicator across the lumbar and sacral areas, then across the shoulders and the lower portion of neck and between shoulders, around the side of the head and the face, for about a minute and a half. Rest for about five minutes. Then apply the double eye applicator to the eyes, and then turn on the machine. This would be used for not more than a minute and a half for the body application (with the bulb applicator, you see), and for a minute or less to the eyes with the eye applicator. Do this each day for some ten days or two weeks. (Q) What causes failing of sight at times and what should be done for it? Cayce said The same applies to those conditions where the nerves' reaction to the sensory system makes an excessive reaction in the vision; just as at times - if the body will be mindful of it - there is apparently not as good hearing, the taste is not as well, the vision is not as well; hence reactions from the elementals and from the superficial reaction in the violet ray to produce an attunement with the cerebrospinal and sympathetic centers in the upper dorsal area. The Readings suggested the violet ray for me 20 years ago, and I haven't worn glasses since. So I know from experience what it can do I found the Violet Ray to be very affective. Everyone should have one of these in their homes. Edgar Cayce knew what he was talking about when he recommended it in 900 of his readings. It is like a portable version of the Body Enhancer Ray has been mentioned MANY times by Researchers in the early part of the 20th Century and was originally developed from the work of GENIUS Scientist, Nikola Tesla. The Violet or the Neon Ray is a HIGH- Voltage & LOW Current source of HIGH Frequency (10,000+ Hertz) The Ray provides a PLEASANT, TINGLING Sensation to the Skin and Scalp by it's ability to INCREASE Oxygenation in the form of Ozone (O3) into the Blood. It is used today PRIMARILY for various Skin and Scalp Conditions, such as Acne, Wrinkles, Dandruff, Gray Hair and Baldness. The Ray appears to also work by BALANCING and ENERGIZING the Nervous System and moves the " Chi " . NOTE: Below are statements not approved by the FDA or the manufacturer The Violet Ray has been known to relieve pain to any part of the body by bringing circulation to the area. The electrical currents penetrate every cell and tissue of the body to stimulate and strengthen the vital organs, build up the natural forces, steady the nerves, and develop the general health and conditions of the body. High frequency electrical currents carry oxygen to the blood, thus purifying the vital body fluid. The ray equalizes the circulation in congested parts and restore bruised and inflamed tissues to normal. The applicator rubbed over fat will bring circulation and warmth to the area to metabolize fatty tissue. Wonderful for removing wrinkles, warts and moles. Wonderful for promoting hair growth or reducing hair from falling out. A few minutes application each day can be all that is needed. Many authorities state that impaired circulation of the blood causes most ailments. Edgar Cayce also known as the " Sleeping Prophet " in the first part of the century was a famous healer, he recommended the Ray device in over a thousand of his readings for ailments ranging from A to Z. The Violet Ray uses argon inert gas, that is what makes the violet color in the electrode. The neon gas is what makes the orange color. I can send you to a website where you can more electrode attachments.This hand held unit comes with 3 glass electrodes. One General electrode (Spoon shaped) comes violet (argon gas), the Rake for the hair comes orange, and the straight rod comes violet. Specs 3.6 WATTS, 120 VOLTS, 0.03 AMPS, 28000 PEEK TO PEEK VOLTAGE Some people report through experimentation- Swelling and painful areas very quickly being relieved, however this does not mean you would get the same result; Knee, back, shoulder, pain ect If you rub along each side of the spine, the organs can become nourished with energy by using the acupuncture points TESTIMONIALS These testimonials you are about to read are from real people but this does not mean you would get the same result. These are results people have reported back to me after buying the Ray. This does not mean you would get the same results as these testimonials below *)Warren, Fla. This man is in his 60/s has Diabetes. His hands have arthritis and the top of the hands of big spots of black and blue bruising from lack of circulation. He applied the ray about ten minutes each hand, his family was with him. Within minutes he said he could move his fingers and wrists without much pain and more flexibility. His flesh color came back to his wrists that quick except for one spot. Which worked on later. The Ray drew the circulation to the area, ozonated the blood which means it put in oxygen and moved the stagnated blood. (Does not mean you would have same result) Steve in orlando gave his violet ray to his 86 year old mom because after putting it on her Diabetic open wounds once a day for a week. Within that week heal healed up beacuse the ray drew the new blood to the wounds and pushed out the toxic blood.(Does not mean you would have same result) *) Mary M, in Orlando Fla-Called to tell me she used it for a few mintues on her Pancreas which had been in pain for two weeks. After a few moniutes of rubbing the ray over her pacreas, the pain was gone. (Does not mean you would get the same results) *) A women with Crohn's disease had pain on her right big toe. Her right foot was swollen. She applied the ray and within minutes her pain was much better and about 5 minutes later her swelling was down. She was very happy (Does not mean you would get the same results) *) A women with shoulder pain, in minutes was pain free. (Does not mean you would get the same results) Another women called me to say she used it for more energy. She used it on her face for ten minutes. (Does not mean you would get the same results). *) DR. Kion in Fla has had polio for 40 some years. After a week of using the violet ray on his legs a few times a day, he walks more balanced and with reduced pain. It is easier for him to get out of bed in the mornings and has increased energy. He loves it. (Does not mean you would get the same results). *)Reports of wrinkles being reduced. Moles, spider veins, and warts dissapearing are very common The Violet Ray has provided the means of bringing to every home, at a reasonable price, a method whereby every vital process can be quickened and the blood made to course through the body with renewed vigor. If necessary, the treatment can be concentrated on any organ, muscle or nerve, however delicate or tender. By this treatment the impurities are washed from the affected organs by a rich, warm flow of blood which nourishes and stimulates the tissues and which is generated by the penetrating current of the Neon Ray, reaching the cells which supply life to the tissue, and causing them to vibrate. The stagnant pools of blood are thus set in motion and the poisons contained therein are relieved of by the purifying processes of nature. The blood thus being freed of poisons is able to take up oxygen from the lungs and nutrition from the digestive organs and returns tissue building material to every part of the body. In this way new tissue is formed to replace that destroyed by disease and carried away in the blood stream. This process of stimulation is called a " cellular massage " because of the fact that the vibration or contractile effect is expanded upon the individual cells making up the tissue, rather than on individual muscles. This is an important reason why the high frequency current produces such marked effect on nutrition and general health. Cellular massage is much more penetrating and beneficial than muscular massage as produced by mechanical vibration. Increases glandular activity, germicidal action occurs during use and aids in deeper penetration of product into the skin WARNING-DO Not use alcohol base products Apply for to reducing wrinkles, growing hair or for any other use, No more than 25 minutes using the Handheld or an hour using the pro model minutes a day, twice daily Can be used on animals and children Where ever the electrode is applied, it metabolizes the fat because of the increase of circulation to the area This device comes with three electrodes 3 electrodesThe General, rake and the rod electrode. *The general is used to apply any where on the surface of the skin. *The rake is for the scalp for hair growth by promoting circulation, also for stopping hair from falling out *The rod for zapping acne, warts, moles, blackheads, ECT Do not use if you are pregnant or have a heart pacemaker Keep away from the computer or televisoin · Electrotherapy for the 21Century, the wave of the future *Reduce Swelling, Pain and Inflammation *Reduce wrinkles, give your self a face lift *Promote hair growth by bringing circulation to the scalp. *Receive an energy boost just like a battery charge *Relief from allergies by ozonating the sinus cavities *Metabolize fat over area where applied *Oxygenate and ozonate your body People have reported this device with great results for every ailment, such as; Healing Diabetic wounds because of the ozonation effect killing the bacteria and bringing circulation to the wounds. Allergies because when you rub the electrode over the sinus cavities the ozonation kills the build of bacteria and replaces the energy to the area. There has been many testimonies of neck, knee, back, carpel tunnel, headaches, Arthritic pain very quickly being relieved. Increased energy and over all well-bei This is not to be used as medical advice. Physicians did use this device successfully for every ailment in the early part of the century. They had glass electrodes designed in 62 different forms. They were used for Cervix, Throat, Prostate, breast cancer. The physicians used this similar high frequency device for ailments from A to Z. until the development of the Pharmaceutical companies. Then the doctors were forced to stop using the Ray which uses the inert gas Argon and had to sell their drugs. If they did not comply they were labeled as quacks. The Ray is sold today only for cosmetic purposes, to reduce wrinkles and promote hair growth by bringing circulation and energy to the scalp and face. Thm to return the body back to balance. If you buy this device you are buying it only for cosmetic reasons, if you use it for anything else it is for your own experimentation and research When you have pain, there is a build up of hydrogen in the area. This replaces it with oxygen. The glass electrode filled with neon rubbed over the area ozonates thus oxygenating the area. Ozonation kills parasites, bacteria and viruses. The blood receives oxygen when the electrode is applied. Where there is pain there is a build up of positive ions, this replaces it with the beneficial negative ions which are very healthy for the body. The Ray may cause electroporation to the cells, meaning the cells become more permeable ( The cells opening up a little more than normal) making the toxins flush out easily and the nutrients rush in. This can detox the cells and improve the lymph flow. Also. Where there's pain, swelling, inflammation and disease there is a problem of low millivolts in the area. This device raises the millivolts eventually back to normal. normal healthy cells are approximately 100 millivolts, an aged cell is 50 millivolts and a cancer cell is 15 millivolts, The Violet ray is a literal battery charge . We are electrical, magnetic, color and sound so doesn't it make sense to balance our bodies with this same form of energy Selective Effects Obtainable A: AS A SEDATIVE As sedative quieting or soothing effect can be obtained and is of great benefit in all nervous ailments. This effect can be produced locally by keeping the electrode in contact with the part to be treated. Painful sensations can be relieved, irritated nerves tranquilized and soothed. Nervous disorders are quickly and beneficially influenced by a sedative treatment. stimulating effect is produced when the electrode is lifted somewhat during the application or used through the clothing or a cloth which has been put over the part to be treated. The length of the stimulating sparks depends on the thickness of the clothing or cloth placed between the electrode and the body. Uniformity in spark length is insured by the cloth. This stimulation is caused by the many small sparks generally called High Frequency Spray. They cause a pleasant and tingling sensation and bombard thoroughly the area which they cover, resulting in a very beneficial heating effect. They also generate ozone which is directly driven into the tissue, causing the ozonation of the blood. These sparks are germ killing and overcome infection. Stimulating treatments through clothing are very beneficial in rheumatism, lumbago, and partial paralysis. Skin disorders, where the circulation is impaired, are often greatly benefited by a slight stimulation. A single layer of a handkerchief produces enough resistance in such cases. An ordinary towel is best to use in chronic rheumatism and similar affections. Loss of weight, lack of appetite, general weakness, lassitude and similar conditions as a rule indicate Anemia or impoverished blood and poor circulation, commonly culled a run down condition. The Master Violet Ray primarily increases the blood circulation. It does what the worn out, run down body cannot do naturally. Disease germs are, therefore, fought and consumed, poisons are dissolved and carried away C: AS AN INTERNAL ANTISEPTIC Wherever the Violet Ray comes in contact with the oxygen in the air it changes part of that oxygen into what is known as ozone, a concentrated form of oxygen that is a great many times more active than that in the air. Oxygen in the blood has the remarkable quality of burning up dead or diseased cells without burning up those that are healthy, and it is the only antiseptic known that can be taken directly into the body with this effect. For this treatment the Master Ozone Generator shown on page 20 may be used with any Master machine for the purpose of obtaining large quantities of ozone for inhalation. The effect of inhaling ozone is much the same as that of inhaling large quantities of pure air, or even pure oxygen. It purifies and enriches the blood, invigorates the body and causes pure oxygen to be taken up in large quantities in the blood stream. Ozone inhalation is of particular benefit in the treatment of respiratory disorders. Taken into the lungs it attacks the diseased cells and causes them to be oxidized and thrown off with the exhaled air. It is a most essential form of treatment for asthma, hay fever, and all lung, throat and nose cases. This treatment may also be obtained by using a surface applicator and applying it to the surface of the body nearest the seat of the trouble. As the Violet Ray leaps from the applicator into the body it carries with it minute quantities of this concentrated oxygen which is thus injected directly into the tissues and blood. This is known as catophoric action and has the effect of overcoming the lack of oxygen in the blood by charging it with an added quantity. An Introduction to the Violet Ray followed by an Instruction Manual that was provided with a violet ray made in the 1930's I have a violet ray device. I originally bought an antique unit off ebay which contained a lot of different attachments. The transformer was mounted in the case and the wand, which accepted the many tubes, was light and attached to the base unit with a thin cord. It was pleasing to use as a stimulant to the scalp with the comb attachment, as well as to use the " pancake " tube to massage rosemary oil or other antiinflammatories into a specific area. It appeared to have a good effect on local infections, even acne. It had a long tube with a coil of wire inside that could be held in a hand for systemic effects. It broke a couple of times, but I got it working again by soldering the hair-thin wires and renovating worn connections with conductive epoxy. Once it broke and I could not fix it. I could not do without my toy, so looked at the modern ones to purchase. I got one with the entire unit in the handheld wand - there is no base unit. It cost more than the original antique, but at least it was new and I would not have to treat it delicately. I bought the new one from the cheapest internet source, a site that apparently specializes in sex devices, including ones that cause pain. The new one's actions are not nearly as pleasant. Even at a low setting, it seems like the frequency is too low and it is annoying to most people, but this may increase penetration. The three tubes that came with it are *crap* compared to the antique ones. The new tubes are so flimsy with such thin glass I am afraid to use them. The website where I bought this also offers a " professional model " which has a base unit and the hand unit as a satellite. It may work much better than the model I have, and probably has better adjustment capabilities. However, it still uses the same crummy tubes. Someone gave me a set of high quality Russian-made quartz tubes for use in a violet-ray type device but unfortunately their diameter is too large for the wand. Following is the instruction manual that was provided with a violet ray made in the 1930's. As one can see, it was " ambitious " to say the least (not unlike many modern devices <g>), which was one of the reasons the feds shut the places down which made and those who used them. There are some potentially dangerous recommendations in the text below. Treat it for what it is, a historical document for amusement only. ----- The Violet Ray High Frequency Unit ONE of the most remarkable developments of the wonderful science of electricity is that of the Violet Ray machine or high frequency generator. The Violet Ray may be said to be a diffusion of an electrical current of tremendous power and resistance, into millions of tiny harmless units which can be applied to the tenderest and most delicate parts of the body without the slightest harm. As applied to the human body, its results have been found to be of enormous benefit in innumerable instances. Causes of Human Ailments All human ailments, with the exception of certain highly contagious and infectious diseases, can be traced to faulty circulation and impure blood. When exercise is taken as a matter of course and sound sleep and appetite are natural, weakness and disease seldom develop for the reason that the blood is adequately supplied in its richest state to every part of the body, thereby nourishing every organ and muscle and providing adequate protection against any tendency to weakness. As persons grow older, however, there is a tendency to forsake physical exercise and to retire to a quieter and more secluded mode of living. The circulation suffers accordingly, and instead of being driven to every part of the body in its richest state, a portion collects in the internal areas and becomes stagnant because of the impurities thrown off by the body. These impurities are absorbed by the tissues and a condition of self poison results, as a consequence of which the body begins to deteriorate, the digestive organs fail to function properly, the internal organs become sluggish and weak, and weaknesses develop which are peculiar to men or women. This weakened condition of the blood and vital organs leaves the human body easily susceptible to any disease to which it may become exposed. Counteracting These Causes by the Use of the Violet Ray The Violet Ray has provided the means of bringing to every home, at a reasonable price, a method whereby every vital process can be quickened and the blood made to course through the body with renewed vigor. If necessary, the treatment can be concentrated on any organ, muscle or nerve, however delicate or tender, and the same results secured. By this treatment the impurities are washed from the affected organs by a rich, warm flow of blood which nourishes and stimulates the tissues and which is generated by the penetrating current of the Violet Ray, reaching the cells which supply life to the tissue, and causing them to vibrate. The stagnant pools of blood are thus set in motion and the poisons contained therein are relieved of by the purifying processes of nature. The blood thus being freed of poisons is able to take up oxygen from the lungs and nutrition from the digestive organs and returns Iaden with tissue building material to every part of the body. In this way new tissue is formed to replace that destroyed by disease and carried away in the blood stream. This process of stimulation is called a " cellular massage " because of the fact that the vibration or contractile effect is expanded upon the individual cells making up the tissue, rather than on individual muscles. This is an important reason why the high frequency current produces such marked effect on nutrition and general health. Cellular massage is much more penetrating and beneficial than muscular massage as produced by mechanical vibration. Application of the Ray The Master Violet Ray is applied through vacuum applicators or electrodes made of annealed glass. The electrodes diffuse the current in sprays of a beautiful, deep violet color. These sprays vibrate to and fro thousands of times per second. This rapid vibration is what produces the pleasing, invigorating and corrective effect derived from Violet Ray treatments and described as cellular massage. A few minutes application' each day, simply holding the applicator in the hand, furnishes a tonic to the system which does much to fight disease and keep the body in a healthy state. Inasmuch as prevention is to be desired a thousandfold rather than a cure, this point alone makes the Master Violet Ray indispensable in your home. The Violet Ray, while introducing all of the tremendous power of electrical energy Its the body, does so without the slightest pain, shock or contraction of muscles. Its application, on the contrary, produces a pleasing sensation, and the amazing results of the Violet Ray treatment have caused it to be accepted by physicians throughout the country as part of their equipment. The machine is ready for use by simply connecting it to any convenient light socket. The Master Violet Ray is the essence of simplicity and can be operated by a child with the utmost safety. Methods of Applying the Violet Ray Three distinct methods of application are in general use, according to the conditions present and the results desired. First: LOCAL APPLICATIONS Given with specific surface or orificial applicators made for that purpose. A beneficial warmth is induced by the action of the Violet Ray the capillaries of the skin are stimulated during the application and for some time thereafter. Any local application with a vacuum electrode is an effective antiseptic, largely on account of the ozone generated. One of the greatest benefits of the Violet Ray is the fact that it can be used with such excellent results in local conditions. When the Master Violet Ray is applied to any part of the body, it gives to a certain extent a general treatment by stimulating the circulation. In treating local conditions, these results are greatly increased by giving a local treatment to the part affected. Suppose one is afflicted with rheumatic pain in the shoulder, you apply the Violet Ray treatment to the painful part. The result noted, will be an immediate sensation of warmth. After a slight treatment it will be noticed that the part treated has become slightly reddened by the blood that is sent in response to stimulation secured from the treatment. These local treatments can be given to any part of the body with very good results. They produce the desired results at the treated part quickly and also benefit to a remarkable degree the entire system. The body is penetrated by radiant atomized electricity, restoring energy and vitality to the entire system. Second: GENERAL APPLICATIONS Taken as electrification treatment for the effect on the general condition. The entire body is saturated with electrical energy by simply holding the electrodes in the hands. This produces a sedative or quieting effect. Violet Ray High Frequency Currents have the tendency to establish a normal elquillibrium of the entire nervous system. Arterial tension during a general treatment usually increases slightly while it falls a short time afterward. General treatments are recommended in all nervous disorders and diseases. Third: INDIRECT APPLICATIONS Combines local and general treatments and requires two people. The party to be treated holds the electrode firmly in the hand. A second party then may draw with either hand, finger-tips, or another electrode, the high frequency current to the desired spot of the patient's body. Selective Effects Obtainable A: AS A SEDATIVE As sedative quieting or soothing effect can be obtained and is of great benefit in all nervous ailments. This effect can be produced locally by keeping the electrode in contact with the part to be treated. Painful sensations can be relieved, irritated nerves tranquilized and soothed. Nervous disorders are quickly and beneficially influenced by a sedative treatment. B: AS A STIMULANT AND TONIC A stimulating effect is produced when the electrode is lifted somewhat during the application or used through the clothing or a cloth which has been put over the part to be treated. The length of the stimulating sparks depends on the thickness of the clothing or cloth placed between the electrode and the body. Uniformity in spark length is insured by the cloth. This stimulation is caused by the many small sparks generally called High Frequency Spray. They cause a pleasant and tingling sensation and bombard thoroughly the area which they cover, resulting in a very beneficial heating effect. They also generate ozone which is directly driven into the tissue, causing the ozonation of the blood. These sparks are germ killing and overcome infection. Stimulating treatments through clothing are very beneficial in rheumatism, lumbago, and partial paralysis. Skin disorders, where the circulation is impaired, are often greatly benefited by a slight stimulation. A single layer of a handkerchief produces enough resistance in such cases. An ordinary towel is best to use in chronic rheumatism and similar affections. Loss of weight, lack of appetite, general weakness, lassitude and similar conditions as a rule indicate Anemia or impoverished blood and poor circulation, commonly culled a run down condition. The Master Violet Ray primarily increases the blood circulation. It does what the worn out, run down body cannot do naturally. Disease germs are, therefore, fought and consumed, poisons are dissolved and carried away. C: AS AN INTERNAL ANTISEPTIC Wherever the Violet Ray comes in contact with the oxygen in the air it changes part of that oxygen into what is known as ozone, a concentrated form of oxygen that is a great many times more active than that in the air. Oxygen in the blood has the remarkable quality of burning up dead or diseased cells without burning up those that are healthy, and it is the only antiseptic known that can be taken directly into the body with this effect. For this treatment the Master Ozone Generator shown on page 20 may be used with any Master machine for the purpose of obtaining large quantities of ozone for inhalation. The effect of inhaling ozone is much the same as that of inhaling large quantities of pure air, or even pure oxygen. It purifies and enriches the blood, invigorates the body and causes pure oxygen to be taken up in large quantities in the blood stream. Ozone inhalation is of particular benefit in the treatment of respiratory disorders. Taken into the lungs it attacks the diseased cells and causes them to be oxidized and thrown off with the exhaled air. It is a most essential form of treatment for asthma, hay fever, and all lung, throat and nose cases. This treatment may also be obtained by using a surface applicator and applying it to the surface of the body nearest the seat of the trouble. As the Violet Ray leaps from the applicator into the body it carries with it minute quantities of this concentrated oxygen which is thus injected directly into the tissues and blood. This is known as catophoric action and has the effect of overcoming the lack of oxygen in the blood by charging it with an added quantity. As Applied for Specific Conditions and Ills, The Hair, Scalp and Skin If you do not feel well you cannot look well. Many women realizing that good health is essential to real beauty and the prolonging of youth use the Master Violet Ray with faithful regularity The results obtained through its applications will be a revelation to you and in a remarkably short time will bring your body, health and appearance to that condition that Nature intended it should be. Rich, red blood is brought to the skin with the use of the Violet Ray. It nourishes the tissues and cells and brings the radiant hue of health and beauty to the skin. All facial blemishes quickly vanish. Practically every disease of the scalp and hair, as dandruff, falling hair, etc., can be traced to the improper circulation of the blood flowing through the scalp. The roots are fed through the blood, which flows through small capillaries in the scalp almost microscopic in size. Because of their smallness, they become clogged very easily, as a consequence of which most persons are affected with some form of scalp disease. To overcome scalp disease, it is first necessary to remove the cause, and as this is poor nutrition For treating the scalp we have a special comb electrode which conforms to the shape of the head and pulls easily through the hair. Millions of tiny electric sparks from the applicator to the scalp, carrying with them pure ozone which acts as a germicidal agent and destroys any foreign organism which may be present. The tiny nerve and blood vessels are gently massaged, the blood starts flowing and nourishment is brought to the roots of the hair. By the first treatment a warm, glowing, healthy feeling is brought to the scalp, and with a few successive treatments great improvement will be noted. The hair very quickly takes on a natural, glossy and healthy appearance. The use of The Violet Ray for a few minutes each day will make the hair thick, healthy and beautiful. The Violet Ray is used by all modern beauty specialists in the treatment of the hair and skin Neuritis Neuritis, as commonly understood, is rheumatism of the nerves. Although any nerve may be involved, the name neuritis is confined almost entirely to inflammation of the brachial nerves, which run from the upper part of the spine across the shoulders and down the arms. When the arms are lifted slightly sharp, twinging, shooting pains are felt in the arms and shoulders. Temporary relief can be secured by the use of properly applied heat, but a cure can be affected only by relieving the inflammation and removing the cause of the pain. Treatment should be with a very mild current gently applied to the pain area for about three minutes several times daily. As these nerves react very quickly, the first few treatments should be mild and short, but as the nerves become accustomed to it the treatment should be increased in strength and duration. Not only does the Violet Ray improve heath, but a permanent relief is secured by relieving the inflammation and removing the cause of the ailment. An Introduction to the Violet Ray followed by an Instruction Manual that was provided with a violet ray made in the 1930's I have a violet ray device. I originally bought an antique unit off ebay which contained a lot of different attachments. The transformer was mounted in the case and the wand, which accepted the many tubes, was light and attached to the base unit with a thin cord. It was pleasing to use as a stimulant to the scalp with the comb attachment, as well as to use the " pancake " tube to massage rosemary oil or other antiinflammatories into a specific area. It appeared to have a good effect on local infections, even acne. It had a long tube with a coil of wire inside that could be held in a hand for systemic effects. It broke a couple of times, but I got it working again by soldering the hair-thin wires and renovating worn connections with conductive epoxy. Once it broke and I could not fix it. I could not do without my toy, so looked at the modern ones to purchase. I got one with the entire unit in the handheld wand - there is no base unit. It cost more than the original antique, but at least it was new and I would not have to treat it delicately. I bought the new one from the cheapest internet source, a site that apparently specializes in sex devices, including ones that cause pain. The new one's actions are not nearly as pleasant. Even at a low setting, it seems like the frequency is too low and it is annoying to most people, but this may increase penetration. The three tubes that came with it are *crap* compared to the antique ones. The new tubes are so flimsy with such thin glass I am afraid to use them. The website where I bought this also offers a " professional model " which has a base unit and the hand unit as a satellite. It may work much better than the model I have, and probably has better adjustment capabilities. However, it still uses the same crummy tubes. Someone gave me a set of high quality Russian-made quartz tubes for use in a violet-ray type device but unfortunately their diameter is too large for the wand. Following is the instruction manual that was provided with a violet ray made in the 1930's. As one can see, it was " ambitious " to say the least (not unlike many modern devices <g>), which was one of the reasons the feds shut the places down which made and those who used them. There are some potentially dangerous recommendations in the text below. Treat it for what it is, a historical document for amusement only. ----- The Violet Ray High Frequency Unit ONE of the most remarkable developments of the wonderful science of electricity is that of the Violet Ray machine or high frequency generator. The Violet Ray may be said to be a diffusion of an electrical current of tremendous power and resistance, into millions of tiny harmless units which can be applied to the tenderest and most delicate parts of the body without the slightest harm. As applied to the human body, its results have been found to be of enormous benefit in innumerable instances. Causes of Human Ailments All human ailments, with the exception of certain highly contagious and infectious diseases, can be traced to faulty circulation and impure blood. When exercise is taken as a matter of course and sound sleep and appetite are natural, weakness and disease seldom develop for the reason that the blood is adequately supplied in its richest state to every part of the body, thereby nourishing every organ and muscle and providing adequate protection against any tendency to weakness. As persons grow older, however, there is a tendency to forsake physical exercise and to retire to a quieter and more secluded mode of living. The circulation suffers accordingly, and instead of being driven to every part of the body in its richest state, a portion collects in the internal areas and becomes stagnant because of the impurities thrown off by the body. These impurities are absorbed by the tissues and a condition of self poison results, as a consequence of which the body begins to deteriorate, the digestive organs fail to function properly, the internal organs become sluggish and weak, and weaknesses develop which are peculiar to men or women. This weakened condition of the blood and vital organs leaves the human body easily susceptible to any disease to which it may become exposed. Counteracting These Causes by the Use of the Violet Ray The Violet Ray has provided the means of bringing to every home, at a reasonable price, a method whereby every vital process can be quickened and the blood made to course through the body with renewed vigor. If necessary, the treatment can be concentrated on any organ, muscle or nerve, however delicate or tender, and the same results secured. By this treatment the impurities are washed from the affected organs by a rich, warm flow of blood which nourishes and stimulates the tissues and which is generated by the penetrating current of the Violet Ray, reaching the cells which supply life to the tissue, and causing them to vibrate. The stagnant pools of blood are thus set in motion and the poisons contained therein are relieved of by the purifying processes of nature. The blood thus being freed of poisons is able to take up oxygen from the lungs and nutrition from the digestive organs and returns Iaden with tissue building material to every part of the body. In this way new tissue is formed to replace that destroyed by disease and carried away in the blood stream. This process of stimulation is called a " cellular massage " because of the fact that the vibration or contractile effect is expanded upon the individual cells making up the tissue, rather than on individual muscles. This is an important reason why the high frequency current produces such marked effect on nutrition and general health. Cellular massage is much more penetrating and beneficial than muscular massage as produced by mechanical vibration. Application of the Ray The Master Violet Ray is applied through vacuum applicators or electrodes made of annealed glass. The electrodes diffuse the current in sprays of a beautiful, deep violet color. These sprays vibrate to and fro thousands of times per second. This rapid vibration is what produces the pleasing, invigorating and corrective effect derived from Violet Ray treatments and described as cellular massage. A few minutes application' each day, simply holding the applicator in the hand, furnishes a tonic to the system which does much to fight disease and keep the body in a healthy state. Inasmuch as prevention is to be desired a thousandfold rather than a cure, this point alone makes the Master Violet Ray indispensable in your home. The Violet Ray, while introducing all of the tremendous power of electrical energy Its the body, does so without the slightest pain, shock or contraction of muscles. Its application, on the contrary, produces a pleasing sensation, and the amazing results of the Violet Ray treatment have caused it to be accepted by physicians throughout the country as part of their equipment. The machine is ready for use by simply connecting it to any convenient light socket. The Master Violet Ray is the essence of simplicity and can be operated by a child with the utmost safety.

For treating the scalp we have a special comb electrode which conforms to the shape of the head and pulls easily through the hair. Millions of tiny electric sparks from the applicator to the scalp, carrying with them pure ozone which acts as a germicidal agent and destroys any foreign organism which may be present.

Not only does the Violet Ray improve heath, but a permanent relief is secured by relieving the inflammation and removing the cause of the ailment. Rheumatism- Lumbago One function of the blood is to dissolve and carry away poisons. When circulation becomes sluggish or impaired these poisons, instead of being carried away, are deposited throughout the system, most commonly at the joints. At first this causes slight annoyance; but continued deposits results in the joints becoming solid, swollen, and severely painful This condition is known as Articular Rheumatism and will act upon the muscles in similar manner, resulting in what is commonly called Muscular Rheumatism. Inflammation of the nerve or muscles situated immediately below the small of the back is known as Lumbago. These pains are most apparent when the body is inclined forward or sideways or when these muscles and nerves are brought into use. Application of the Violet Ray to the affected parts restores circulation to normal, drives oxygen directly into the blood and results in a consequent dissolution of the poisonous deposits causing the ailment, thereby relieving the inflammation. Increased quantities of nourishment brought by the invigorated circulation build up and restore the affected part to normal. Headaches - Insomnia - Brain Fog A headache is a symptom of some local or constitutional derangement and not a distinct disease. Few drugs are directly curative and some are paralyzers of the heart while others destroy the red blood corpuscles. When the Violet Ray removes pain it also builds up the forces of nutrition and general health. One of the most common uses of the Violet Ray is the removal of headache and in such a way as to leave the system in a normal and not a " doped " condition. Long, lasting relief is the rule, but some forms of pain return, and for these regular and persistent treatment is required Adequate and refreshing sleep and brain rest is necessary to good health. Inability to obtain these necessities is a very troublesome symptom which one should not neglect. There is no substitute for adequate sleep and rest. The Violet Ray, by its sedative action, tends to soothe and calm the nervous system and equalize the circulation, thus restoring this most essential capacity to normal. An Introduction to the Violet Ray followed by an Instruction Manual that was provided with a violet ray made in the 1930's I have a violet ray device.

The machine is ready for use by simply connecting it to any convenient light socket. The Master Violet Ray is the essence of simplicity and can be operated by a child with the utmost safety. Methods of Applying the Violet Ray Three distinct methods of application are in general use, according to the conditions present and the results desired. First: LOCAL APPLICATIONS Given with specific surface or orificial applicators made for that purpose. A beneficial warmth is induced by the action of the Violet Ray the capillaries of the skin are stimulated during the application and for some time thereafter. Any local application with a vacuum electrode is an effective antiseptic, largely on account of the ozone generated. One of the greatest benefits of the Violet Ray is the fact that it can be used with such excellent results in local conditions. When the Master Violet Ray is applied to any part of the body, it gives to a certain extent a general treatment by stimulating the circulation. In treating local conditions, these results are greatly increased by giving a local treatment to the part affected. Suppose one is afflicted with rheumatic pain in the shoulder, you apply the Violet Ray treatment to the painful part. The result noted, will be an immediate sensation of warmth. After a slight treatment it will be noticed that the part treated has become slightly reddened by the blood that is sent in response to stimulation secured from the treatment. These local treatments can be given to any part of the body with very good results. They produce the desired results at the treated part quickly and also benefit to a remarkable degree the entire system. The body is penetrated by radiant atomized electricity, restoring energy and vitality to the entire system. Second: GENERAL APPLICATIONS Taken as electrification treatment for the effect on the general condition. The entire body is saturated with electrical energy by simply holding the electrodes in the hands. This produces a sedative or quieting effect. Violet Ray High Frequency Currents have the tendency to establish a normal elquillibrium of the entire nervous system. Arterial tension during a general treatment usually increases slightly while it falls a short time afterward. General treatments are recommended in all nervous disorders and diseases. Third: INDIRECT APPLICATIONS Combines local and general treatments and requires two people. The party to be treated holds the electrode firmly in the hand. A second party then may draw with either hand, finger-tips, or another electrode, the high frequency current to the desired spot of the patient's body. Selective Effects Obtainable A: AS A SEDATIVE As sedative quieting or soothing effect can be obtained and is of great benefit in all nervous ailments. This effect can be produced locally by keeping the electrode in contact with the part to be treated. Painful sensations can be relieved, irritated nerves tranquilized and soothed. Nervous disorders are quickly and beneficially influenced by a sedative treatment. B: AS A STIMULANT AND TONIC A stimulating effect is produced when the electrode is lifted somewhat during the application or used through the clothing or a cloth which has been put over the part to be treated. The length of the stimulating sparks depends on the thickness of the clothing or cloth placed between the electrode and the body. Uniformity in spark length is insured by the cloth. This stimulation is caused by the many small sparks generally called High Frequency Spray. They cause a pleasant and tingling sensation and bombard thoroughly the area which they cover, resulting in a very beneficial heating effect. They also generate ozone which is directly driven into the tissue, causing the ozonation of the blood. These sparks are germ killing and overcome infection. Stimulating treatments through clothing are very beneficial in rheumatism, lumbago, and partial paralysis. Skin disorders, where the circulation is impaired, are often greatly benefited by a slight stimulation. A single layer of a handkerchief produces enough resistance in such cases. An ordinary towel is best to use in chronic rheumatism and similar affections. Loss of weight, lack of appetite, general weakness, lassitude and similar conditions as a rule indicate Anemia or impoverished blood and poor circulation, commonly culled a run down condition. The Master Violet Ray primarily increases the blood circulation. It does what the worn out, run down body cannot do naturally. Disease germs are, therefore, fought and consumed, poisons are dissolved and carried away. C: AS AN INTERNAL ANTISEPTIC Wherever the Violet Ray comes in contact with the oxygen in the air it changes part of that oxygen into what is known as ozone, a concentrated form of oxygen that is a great many times more active than that in the air. Oxygen in the blood has the remarkable quality of burning up dead or diseased cells without burning up those that are healthy, and it is the only antiseptic known that can be taken directly into the body with this effect. For this treatment the Master Ozone Generator shown on page 20 may be used with any Master machine for the purpose of obtaining large quantities of ozone for inhalation. The effect of inhaling ozone is much the same as that of inhaling large quantities of pure air, or even pure oxygen. It purifies and enriches the blood, invigorates the body and causes pure oxygen to be taken up in large quantities in the blood stream. Ozone inhalation is of particular benefit in the treatment of respiratory disorders. Taken into the lungs it attacks the diseased cells and causes them to be oxidized and thrown off with the exhaled air. It is a most essential form of treatment for asthma, hay fever, and all lung, throat and nose cases. This treatment may also be obtained by using a surface applicator and applying it to the surface of the body nearest the seat of the trouble. As the Violet Ray leaps from the applicator into the body it carries with it minute quantities of this concentrated oxygen which is thus injected directly into the tissues and blood. This is known as catophoric action and has the effect of overcoming the lack of oxygen in the blood by charging it with an added quantity. As Applied for Specific Conditions and Ills, The Hair, Scalp and Skin If you do not feel well you cannot look well. Many women realizing that good health is essential to real beauty and the prolonging of youth use the Master Violet Ray with faithful regularity The results obtained through its applications will be a revelation to you and in a remarkably short time will bring your body, health and appearance to that condition that Nature intended it should be. Rich, red blood is brought to the skin with the use of the Violet Ray. It nourishes the tissues and cells and brings the radiant hue of health and beauty to the skin. All facial blemishes quickly vanish. Practically every disease of the scalp and hair, as dandruff, falling hair, etc., can be traced to the improper circulation of the blood flowing through the scalp. The roots are fed through the blood, which flows through small capillaries in the scalp almost microscopic in size. Because of their smallness, they become clogged very easily, as a consequence of which most persons are affected with some form of scalp disease. To overcome scalp disease, it is first necessary to remove the cause, and as this is poor nutrition due to faulty circulation, the Violet Ray naturally suggests itself as the ideal remedy. For treating the scalp we have a special comb electrode which conforms to the shape of the head and pulls easily through the hair. Millions of tiny electric sparks from the applicator to the scalp, carrying with them pure ozone which acts as a germicidal agent and destroys any foreign organism which may be present. The tiny nerve and blood vessels are gently massaged, the blood starts flowing and nourishment is brought to the roots of the hair. By the first treatment a warm, glowing, healthy feeling is brought to the scalp, and with a few successive treatments great improvement will be noted. The hair very quickly takes on a natural, glossy and healthy appearance. The use of The Violet Ray for a few minutes each day will make the hair thick, healthy and beautiful. The Violet Ray is used by all modern beauty specialists in the treatment of the hair and skin. Neuritis Neuritis, as commonly understood, is rheumatism of the nerves. Although any nerve may be involved, the name neuritis is confined almost entirely to inflammation of the brachial nerves, which run from the upper part of the spine across the shoulders and down the arms. When the arms are lifted slightly sharp, twinging, shooting pains are felt in the arms and shoulders. Temporary relief can be secured by the use of properly applied heat, but a cure can be affected only by relieving the inflammation and removing the cause of the pain. Treatment should be with a very mild current gently applied to the pain area for about three minutes several times daily. As these nerves react very quickly, the first few treatments should be mild and short, but as the nerves become accustomed to it the treatment should be increased in strength and duration. Not only does the Violet Ray improve heath, but a permanent relief is secured by relieving the inflammation and removing the cause of the ailment. Rheumatism- Lumbago One function of the blood is to dissolve and carry away poisons. When circulation becomes sluggish or impaired these poisons, instead of being carried away, are deposited throughout the system, most commonly at the joints. At first this causes slight annoyance; but continued deposits results in the joints becoming solid, swollen, and severely painful This condition is known as Articular Rheumatism and will act upon the muscles in similar manner, resulting in what is commonly called Muscular Rheumatism. Inflammation of the nerve or muscles situated immediately below the small of the back is known as Lumbago. These pains are most apparent when the body is inclined forward or sideways or when these muscles and nerves are brought into use. Application of the Violet Ray to the affected parts restores circulation to normal, drives oxygen directly into the blood and results in a consequent dissolution of the poisonous deposits causing the ailment, thereby relieving the inflammation. Increased quantities of nourishment brought by the invigorated circulation build up and restore the affected part to normal. Headaches - Insomnia - Brain Fog A headache is a symptom of some local or constitutional derangement and not a distinct disease. Few drugs are directly curative and some are paralyzers of the heart while others destroy the red blood corpuscles. When the Violet Ray removes pain it also builds up the forces of nutrition and general health. One of the most common uses of the Violet Ray is the removal of headache and in such a way as to leave the system in a normal and not a " doped " condition. Long, lasting relief is the rule, but some forms of pain return, and for these regular and persistent treatment is required Adequate and refreshing sleep and brain rest is necessary to good health. Inability to obtain these necessities is a very troublesome symptom which one should not neglect. There is no substitute for adequate sleep and rest. The Violet Ray, by its sedative action, tends to soothe and calm the nervous system and equalize the circulation, thus restoring this most essential capacity to normal. Metabolism - The Secret of Health Perfect health depends upon the proper functioning of the combined building up and tearing down processes that are continually going on within our bodies and which are commonly described as Metabolism. Human energy is produced by the oxidizing, or burning up of certain elements in the cells and tissues throughout the body. This process is responsible for the heat of the body. For the purpose of maintaining health, these elements that are being burned must constantly be replaced by nature. All too frequently, however, the balance ordinarily maintained between these processes is disturbed by a deficiency or surplus of new material. In cases where there is a deficiency the parts affected become wasted, weakened, and an easy prey to disease. In the second case they become flat, flabby and enlarged and, as a consequence, are unable to function properly. In either case & e result is poor health. An Introduction to the Violet Ray followed by an Instruction Manual that was provided with a violet ray made in the 1930's I have a violet ray device. I originally bought an antique unit off ebay which contained a lot of different attachments. The transformer was mounted in the case and the wand, which accepted the many tubes, was light and attached to the base unit with a thin cord. It was pleasing to use as a stimulant to the scalp with the comb attachment, as well as to use the " pancake " tube to massage rosemary oil or other antiinflammatories into a specific area. It appeared to have a good effect on local infections, even acne. It had a long tube with a coil of wire inside that could be held in a hand for systemic effects. It broke a couple of times, but I got it working again by soldering the hair-thin wires and renovating worn connections with conductive epoxy. Once it broke and I could not fix it. I could not do without my toy, so looked at the modern ones to purchase. I got one with the entire unit in the handheld wand - there is no base unit. It cost more than the original antique, but at least it was new and I would not have to treat it delicately. I bought the new one from the cheapest internet source, a site that apparently specializes in sex devices, including ones that cause pain. The new one's actions are not nearly as pleasant. Even at a low setting, it seems like the frequency is too low and it is annoying to most people, but this may increase penetration. The three tubes that came with it are *crap* compared to the antique ones. The new tubes are so flimsy with such thin glass I am afraid to use them. The website where I bought this also offers a " professional model " which has a base unit and the hand unit as a satellite. It may work much better than the model I have, and probably has better adjustment capabilities. However, it still uses the same crummy tubes. Someone gave me a set of high quality Russian-made quartz tubes for use in a violet-ray type device but unfortunately their diameter is too large for the wand. Following is the instruction manual that was provided with a violet ray made in the 1930's. As one can see, it was " ambitious " to say the least (not unlike many modern devices <g>), which was one of the reasons the feds shut the places down which made and those who used them. There are some potentially dangerous recommendations in the text below. Treat it for what it is, a historical document for amusement only. ----- The Violet Ray High Frequency Unit ONE of the most remarkable developments of the wonderful science of electricity is that of the Violet Ray machine or high frequency generator. The Violet Ray may be said to be a diffusion of an electrical current of tremendous power and resistance, into millions of tiny harmless units which can be applied to the tenderest and most delicate parts of the body without the slightest harm. As applied to the human body, its results have been found to be of enormous benefit in innumerable instances. Causes of Human Ailments All human ailments, with the exception of certain highly contagious and infectious diseases, can be traced to faulty circulation and impure blood. When exercise is taken as a matter of course and sound sleep and appetite are natural, weakness and disease seldom develop for the reason that the blood is adequately supplied in its richest state to every part of the body, thereby nourishing every organ and muscle and providing adequate protection against any tendency to weakness. As persons grow older, however, there is a tendency to forsake physical exercise and to retire to a quieter and more secluded mode of living. The circulation suffers accordingly, and instead of being driven to every part of the body in its richest state, a portion collects in the internal areas and becomes stagnant because of the impurities thrown off by the body. These impurities are absorbed by the tissues and a condition of self poison results, as a consequence of which the body begins to deteriorate, the digestive organs fail to function properly, the internal organs become sluggish and weak, and weaknesses develop which are peculiar to men or women. This weakened condition of the blood and vital organs leaves the human body easily susceptible to any disease to which it may become exposed. Counteracting These Causes by the Use of the Violet Ray The Violet Ray has provided the means of bringing to every home, at a reasonable price, a method whereby every vital process can be quickened and the blood made to course through the body with renewed vigor. If necessary, the treatment can be concentrated on any organ, muscle or nerve, however delicate or tender, and the same results secured. By this treatment the impurities are washed from the affected organs by a rich, warm flow of blood which nourishes and stimulates the tissues and which is generated by the penetrating current of the Violet Ray, reaching the cells which supply life to the tissue, and causing them to vibrate. The stagnant pools of blood are thus set in motion and the poisons contained therein are relieved of by the purifying processes of nature. The blood thus being freed of poisons is able to take up oxygen from the lungs and nutrition from the digestive organs and returns Iaden with tissue building material to every part of the body. In this way new tissue is formed to replace that destroyed by disease and carried away in the blood stream. This process of stimulation is called a " cellular massage " because of the fact that the vibration or contractile effect is expanded upon the individual cells making up the tissue, rather than on individual muscles. This is an important reason why the high frequency current produces such marked effect on nutrition and general health. Cellular massage is much more penetrating and beneficial than muscular massage as produced by mechanical vibration. Application of the Ray The Master Violet Ray is applied through vacuum applicators or electrodes made of annealed glass. The electrodes diffuse the current in sprays of a beautiful, deep violet color. These sprays vibrate to and fro thousands of times per second. This rapid vibration is what produces the pleasing, invigorating and corrective effect derived from Violet Ray treatments and described as cellular massage. A few minutes application' each day, simply holding the applicator in the hand, furnishes a tonic to the system which does much to fight disease and keep the body in a healthy state. Inasmuch as prevention is to be desired a thousandfold rather than a cure, this point alone makes the Master Violet Ray indispensable in your home. The Violet Ray, while introducing all of the tremendous power of electrical energy Its the body, does so without the slightest pain, shock or contraction of muscles. Its application, on the contrary, produces a pleasing sensation, and the amazing results of the Violet Ray treatment have caused it to be accepted by physicians throughout the country as part of their equipment. The machine is ready for use by simply connecting it to any convenient light socket. The Master Violet Ray is the essence of simplicity and can be operated by a child with the utmost safety. Methods of Applying the Violet Ray Three distinct methods of application are in general use, according to the conditions present and the results desired. First: LOCAL APPLICATIONS Given with specific surface or orificial applicators made for that purpose. A beneficial warmth is induced by the action of the Violet Ray the capillaries of the skin are stimulated during the application and for some time thereafter. Any local application with a vacuum electrode is an effective antiseptic, largely on account of the ozone generated. One of the greatest benefits of the Violet Ray is the fact that it can be used with such excellent results in local conditions. When the Master Violet Ray is applied to any part of the body, it gives to a certain extent a general treatment by stimulating the circulation. In treating local conditions, these results are greatly increased by giving a local treatment to the part affected. Suppose one is afflicted with rheumatic pain in the shoulder, you apply the Violet Ray treatment to the painful part. The result noted, will be an immediate sensation of warmth. After a slight treatment it will be noticed that the part treated has become slightly reddened by the blood that is sent in response to stimulation secured from the treatment. These local treatments can be given to any part of the body with very good results. They produce the desired results at the treated part quickly and also benefit to a remarkable degree the entire system. The body is penetrated by radiant atomized electricity, restoring energy and vitality to the entire system. Second: GENERAL APPLICATIONS Taken as electrification treatment for the effect on the general condition. The entire body is saturated with electrical energy by simply holding the electrodes in the hands. This produces a sedative or quieting effect. Violet Ray High Frequency Currents have the tendency to establish a normal elquillibrium of the entire nervous system. Arterial tension during a general treatment usually increases slightly while it falls a short time afterward. General treatments are recommended in all nervous disorders and diseases. Third: INDIRECT APPLICATIONS Combines local and general treatments and requires two people. The party to be treated holds the electrode firmly in the hand. A second party then may draw with either hand, finger-tips, or another electrode, the high frequency current to the desired spot of the patient's body. Selective Effects Obtainable A: AS A SEDATIVE As sedative quieting or soothing effect can be obtained and is of great benefit in all nervous ailments. This effect can be produced locally by keeping the electrode in contact with the part to be treated. Painful sensations can be relieved, irritated nerves tranquilized and soothed. Nervous disorders are quickly and beneficially influenced by a sedative treatment. B: AS A STIMULANT AND TONIC A stimulating effect is produced when the electrode is lifted somewhat during the application or used through the clothing or a cloth which has been put over the part to be treated. The length of the stimulating sparks depends on the thickness of the clothing or cloth placed between the electrode and the body. Uniformity in spark length is insured by the cloth. This stimulation is caused by the many small sparks generally called High Frequency Spray. They cause a pleasant and tingling sensation and bombard thoroughly the area which they cover, resulting in a very beneficial heating effect. They also generate ozone which is directly driven into the tissue, causing the ozonation of the blood. These sparks are germ killing and overcome infection. Stimulating treatments through clothing are very beneficial in rheumatism, lumbago, and partial paralysis. Skin disorders, where the circulation is impaired, are often greatly benefited by a slight stimulation. A single layer of a handkerchief produces enough resistance in such cases. An ordinary towel is best to use in chronic rheumatism and similar affections. Loss of weight, lack of appetite, general weakness, lassitude and similar conditions as a rule indicate Anemia or impoverished blood and poor circulation, commonly culled a run down condition. The Master Violet Ray primarily increases the blood circulation. It does what the worn out, run down body cannot do naturally. Disease germs are, therefore, fought and consumed, poisons are dissolved and carried away. C: AS AN INTERNAL ANTISEPTIC Wherever the Violet Ray comes in contact with the oxygen in the air it changes part of that oxygen into what is known as ozone, a concentrated form of oxygen that is a great many times more active than that in the air.

Metabolism - The Secret of Health Perfect health depends upon the proper functioning of the combined building up and tearing down processes that are continually going on within our bodies and which are commonly described as Metabolism. Human energy is produced by the oxidizing, or burning up of certain elements in the cells and tissues throughout the body. This process is responsible for the heat of the body. For the purpose of maintaining health, these elements that are being burned must constantly be replaced by nature. All too frequently, however, the balance ordinarily maintained between these processes is disturbed by a deficiency or surplus of new material. In cases where there is a deficiency the parts affected become wasted, weakened, and an easy prey to disease. In the second case they become flat, flabby and enlarged and, as a consequence, are unable to function properly. In either case & e result is poor health. A person's age, in terms of health and appearance, is governed by this process of metabolism. In early life the building up process is dominant and we have a period of growth and development. In the early twenties the stationary point is reached where the two are balance. As long as this balance is maintained health is good and the human body is possessed of the buoyant energy and vitality characteristic of young manhood and womanhood. A disturbance of this balance results in the loss of this vitality. The tearing down process dominates during the period of old age or decline. It is independent of years, however, and frequently begins in persons under thirty. With proper care, however, the building up process can be made dominant for many years and the ravages of old age postponed indefinitely. Metabolism depends largely on the quality and proper circulation of the blood. A proper amount of oxygen is necessary in the blood to oxidize the body tissues and thus furnish energy. Tissue building elements must be supplied through the blood to replace those which are oxydized, and disease germs which find their way into the body must be overcome. Every person who needs concern himself or herself with the subject is familiar with the symptoms of old age. Suffice it to say that the first indication is the loss of buoyancy felt in early life, followed by minor disorders which gradually grow more serious. It is highly important that these symptoms be overcome in their earliest stages. The Violet Ray not only prevents the premature appearance of these symptoms, but will remove the cause of them after they have become apparent, if properly used. It does this by normalizing Metabolism working through the blood stream and equalizing the two processes necessary to perfect health. Violet Ray treatments increase the oxygen content of the blood, thus hastening the oxidizing process in the tissues and causing waste material to be thrown off. It energizes every cell, causing new tissues to be built in a normal way and assisting in the removal of surplus fat and foreign deposits. It prevents the formation of incurious mineral matter in the walls of the veins and arteries and elsewhere in the body. By the addition of its aiding the processes of digestion, assimilation and excretion it can be readily seen that it will correct the tendency to premature age by the normalizing of every body function.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 ---but also look into this Diabetes Be sure that you have read carefully the cayce philosophy page as missing any one of the principles there could cost you in some form – we know we have done it. One of the most important principles outlined by cayce and others where people are suffering from any condition is to do everything they can to help others in whatever capacity they can. Cayce frequently mentioned that this would bring faster results. This is a great ingredient in helping all people to transmute their own karma. See other pages on this particularly important treatment. Conventional treatment Diabetes is a disease in which the body simply does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. There are two major types of diabetes: Type 1 - A disease, in which the body does not produce any insulin, most often occurring in children and young people. All people with Type 1 diabetes must take daily insulin injections to stay alive. Type 1 diabetes accounts for between 5 - 10 % of diabetes. Sugar is the basic fuel for the cells in the body, and insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells. If the sugar builds up without going into the cells, it can cause major problems: 1, your cells may be starved for energy. 2 Over time, high blood sugar levels may damage your eyes, kidneys, nerves or heart. The pancreas, an organ near your stomach, produces insulin. The pancreas contains cells called beta cells. Beta cells do a vital job: They make insulin, a hormone that helps cells take in the sugar they need. Sometimes, the beta cells get wiped out. Many things might have killed your beta cells, but in most people with Type 1 diabetes, the immune system makes a mistake. Cells that normally protect you from germs attack your beta cells instead. The beta cells die. Without beta cells, you make no insulin. Sugar builds up in your blood, and you get diabetes. Type 2 – This is a metabolic disorder resulting from the body's inability to make enough, or properly use, insulin. It is the most common form of the disease. Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90 –95% of cases Sugar is the basic fuel for the cells in the body, and insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells. When glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into cells, it can cause two problems: 1.Right away, your cells may be starved for energy. 2.Over time, high blood sugar levels may damage other parts of your body i.e. eyes, kidneys, nerves or heart and other important parts of your body. The goal of treatment is to lower your blood sugar and improve your body's use of insulin with: Meal planning and getting regular exercise can help your body maintain healthy blood sugar levels. If you're overweight, losing weight can be another big part of your diabetes treatment. It will help your body use insulin better. The best way to lose weight is to exercise and follow a meal plan. With a weight loss meal plan, you will eat fewer calories. Decide with your health care provider how much to lose. Occasionally a 10- 20 pound reduction in weight can give excellent results Of course you can measure your own blood sugar levels at home using a glucose meter. Sometimes, using a meal plan, losing weight and being active are not enough. In addition, your doctor may have you take diabetes pills, insulin shots or both. Alternative treatment recommended from the edgar cayce information Causes Cayce adds a great deal of information on this condition, pointing to the malfunctioning of the pancreas it sometimes being overstimulated and sometimes being sluggish. These two problems have a tendency to produce too much sugar and to handle carbohydrates in such a way that these also produce to much sugar. One of the causes for diabetes is from spinal pressures located in association with the 6th 7th 8th 9th dorsal sympathetic ganglia which were acting in such away as to cause the pancreas liver and or spleen to not operate properly. This is totally overlooked by mainstream medicine Also mentioned was assimilation and elimination problems which had become disturbed which caused a liver imbalance which caused payers patches and other lymphatic vessels to cease their production of substances which in turn created unusual impulses to the pancreas and liver which brought about diabetes. Cayce advises that the body has the capacity to produce normal functions and said that therapy should aim at stimulating those functions to their normal use rather than becoming dependent upon substances where there was a possibility that these substances were robbing other parts of the system to produce a desired effect. Treatment 1.Dr William mcgarey interpreted the cayce information and advised that change should be given gradually. No sudden changes to the body were to be given 2.He said it was advisable in all cases of diabetes to institute a course of osteopathic adjustments and manipulations given in a series of 6-8 and then rest and then another 6-8. They should coordinate the 4th lumbar and the third cervical in conjunction with the dorsal vertebrae that are being treated. He cautioned that pressure may be alleviated but correct flow of nerve impulses cannot come about unless the balance is maintained over a period of time. This is why more treatments are necessary. 3.Diet is highly important, Jerusalem artichokes are suggested in every case. These provide a type of insulin material, which helps to restore normal function of the pancreas. These should be taken in varying amounts from 3times a week and in more severe cases 5-6times per week. All of these should be cooked – one artichoke about the size of a hens egg in patapar paper and prepared with the juices and eaten. If you have severe cases requiring 5-6 a week then cook one day and then eat it raw the next. Taking insulin in this form is not habit forming. 4.No red meats are to be eaten at all, not too much sweets, nor ever too much meats. Starches in general should be reduced, no white sugar or white bread. Pastries and pies should be kept to a minimum. Coffee and tea only once per day. Fish or fowl in small amounts for you meat eaters out there. Eat lots of leafy vegetables and little of the pod variety of vegetables. No vegetables are to be eaten which are grown beneath the ground with the exception of carrots and beets occasionally with the beet being taken with the beet top and oyster plant. No fried foods to be eaten at all 5 After the osteopathic adjustments have been given then take a course of atomidine which should be given starting with one drop twice a day increasing by one drop per day until you are taking 5 drops twice daily then continue for a further 3 days and then reduce by one drop per day until the original dose is used. Then rest a week or two then repeat this regime 3-4 times. The atomidine is for the cleansing of the glands and for the glandular forces of the body. 6.There has to be balance between the way the body absorbs food and gets rid of waste products, this was sited as being important in a few cases. Cayce gave this information. To one gall of rainwater or distilled water add 8oz of clary water (garden sage) reduce this mixture by simmering not boiling to one quart. Then add while still warm two other solutions: dissolve 15 gr of ambergris in 1 oz of grain alcohol then add to the solution 4oz of grain alcohol with 50 minims of oil of juniper. Balsum of tolu cut with alcohol 3 drams. Directions for use -one desert spoon full taken three times a day. As a precaution no other medications are to be taken while doing this treatment with the exception of insulin which should be slowly decreased in dosage until there is none being used at all, the blood and urine samples should guide the gradual discontinuance of the insulin. 7 Vitamins should be rarely used as these could have adverse effects on the spleen pancreas and liver. 8.As ever Spiritual healing has the capacity to greatly help with most problems. Survey for the advisory board of physicians on diabetes As an abstract of 20 cases of the cayce readings for those suffering with diabetes there were 13 women and 7 men average age of the whole group was 43 Findings as to the causes of this condition were 1 Disturbance in the glandular system 4 2.Poor assimilation problems 1 3.Overstrain 2 4.Accident 2 5 Poor circulation 2 6 Indiscretions in the diet 1 7.Pressure or sublaxation – spine 6 8.In coordination between sympathetic and Cerebrospinal systems 11 9No cause stated 2 Some feedback After suffering for many years with diabetes this man came across cayce and he apparently began eating Jerusalem artichokes raw .The diabetic condition cleared up and as far as he can judge there is no trace of sugar in the urine .He wished that other sufferers had this priceless knowledge which cayce made possible. Another man reported that he was on 20 units of insulin daily and a 1300-calorie diet, which the nutritionist had recommended .He, was also restricted to no intakes of sugars. He noted that the results from this regime were poor. He consulted the cayce files and began the cayce grape juice diet and followed the cayce recommendations on food intake. The results he obtained were excellent; he lost 25 pounds and was able to reduce his insulin from 20 units to 0 in a period of three months. At the time he gave this report he had insulin free for 7 months. Some of the files 2393 female age62 Cayce found problems with the organs and the metabolism of the system, and the activity of the pancreas system. Cayce said The blood supply indicates the nature of the disturbance .The cause some several years there was an injury or a straining of the back, in the 8th and 9th dorsal. This caused a slow, gradual pressure upon those areas related to the pancreas, the liver and the lower hepatic circulation; this increased the pressure through heart's activity, and gradually increased the activity of the pancreas to the extra influences of sugar in the system; and through the lower part of the colon a plethora, and in the descending colon a prolapsus. Cayce found complications of conditions, but the first cause is from a subluxation[spinal problem] - of a LATERAL nature, a lesion in the 7th, 8th and 9th dorsal centers. The lumbar and the brachial centers and the vegetative nerve system have at periods also suffered. Cayce found most of the organ under strain , inactivity in some, and the overactivity in others, which is indicated by the manner of the metabolism of the system, or the circulation THROUGH the central organs of the body. Cayce said add to the diet Jerusalem artichoke. These taken at least three times each week, preferably cooked, or prepared in its own juices, such as Patapar Paper, so that whatever juices come out from the tuber during preparation may be in . About the size of a hen egg. Do not overcook nor undercook, so that it is well able to be mashed thoroughly. Do not peel it. Osteopathic adjustments . These should be done VERY slowly. He cautioned If done too severely in the beginning, it would tend to INCREASE the disturbances rather than to alleviate the problem. Give them in at least three or four series. Start about twice each week until twelve adjustments have been made. This would be the first series. Then leave them off for at least a month. Then have about six more adjustments. Then leave off for about a month. Then have six more. Every third adjustment or treatment, we would coordinate the lumbar and sacral and the upper dorsal, head and neck, WITH those corrections gradually made in the 7th, 8th and 9th dorsals; this will prevent causing disturbances . Use the artichoke as the insulin. Cayce said do this and the situation could be entirely alleviated but cautioned even then - you must not take sweets or heavy meats. And never any eat fried foods of any kind. Eat plenty of vegetables. When asked Is the condition diabetes, or what? Cayce said Diabetic in its nature. But originally came from an injury which caused complications in the activity of the pancreas and related systems. Cayce said Many had been cured by this regime. No relevant reports 674-1 Male age 11 Cayce found disturbances in the functioning of glands; and because of this there is a disorder in the functioning of organs. Cayce found a subluxation produced in the 7th and 8th dorsal center, which made for a pressure in the amount of the impulses that are carried through the nerve system which affected the functioning of the liver and the spleen, which made for COLD circulation. The, impulses produced an excess activity in the pancreas; hence there has been created through the glands a tendency for turning much foods into sugar. Cayce added to 32 ounces of distilled water we would add 6 ounces of Dried Garden Sage. Reduce by slow boiling (preferably in an enamel container with an enamel top; not a tin) to 16 ounces. Strain, and while warm add: Ambergris (cut in 1 ounce grain alcohol).......15 grains, Strained Honey (in 2 ounces distilled water)....1 ounce. Let the Strained Honey in the distilled water come to a boil; not BOIL, but just come to a boil, before adding to the solution. Also add: Gin (active principle of same being Juniper; Such as Gordon's Gin or Lachmer's [?]).......4 ounces, Cinnamon, preferably in the stick...............3 drams. Shake the solution together before the dose is taken, which should be half a teaspoonful before the meals and at bedtime. The second solution would be prepared in this manner: To 16 ounces distilled water we would add 6 ounces of green or dry Ambrosia Weed. Reduce by slow boiling to 8 ounces. Strain and add: Strained Honey................................1/2 ounce, Grain Alcohol...............................1 1/2 ounces, Tincture of Stillingia........................1/4 ounce, Essence of Burdock Root.......................1/4 ounce. Shake this together before the dose is taken, which would be teaspoonful at bedtime for periods of two or three days; then leave off for the same period and begin again. This was to keep the eliminations good, and would increasing of the lymph without disturbing the activities of the spleen and pancreas secretions. OSTEOPATHICALLY adjustments made in the dorsal area , that show subluxations. And make such treatments COORDINATE with the rest of the system. Start at twice each week for three or four weeks. Then rest a period of a week. Apply the treatments two or three weeks. Then rest a period of a week; then treat AGAIN for a couple of weeks. Diet - no sugar or starches, during the period of these adjustments: No candies of any kind. No pastries of any kind. Mornings - cereals with fruit, raw or fresh fruit or with stewed fruit. Citrus fruits, but do not take these at the same meal. Whole-wheat browned bread only. One meal each day should be, at least, of leafy or raw fresh vegetables. such as spinach, celery, lettuce, turnips, mustard, peppers, tomatoes, with oil dressing. Evenings - well-cooked vegetables, with not too large a quantity of meats. Fish, lamb, fowl may be taken; not beef nor hog meat nor of that nature. When asked what causes the difficult breathing and smothering spells at night? Cayce said it was from the heavy circulation. Asthmatic condition produced by the pressures in the dorsal areas of the spine. When asked is riding bicycle harmful, as this causes shortness of breath? Cayce said in moderation, no. When asked was the fall on face some years ago the injury referred to? Cayce said it aided. The firstproblem was in the spinal system fall; but the fall on the face only increased problems in the upper dorsal area as indicated. BACKGROUND 5345-1 F 35 For some time she has been suffering with sugar diabetes, no help from MD's. . She's read the book THERE IS A RIVER and is ready to accept and follow anything that may come through the reading. " Cayce cautioned to apply corrections to the diet, this with the spinal corrections , will bring much better conditions and reactions with this Person. He found a subluxation, caused from a strain many years ago and has gradually been a great pressure, which has caused overactivity in the pancreas and spleen area, and from this created in the body, too much sugar. This affects the activity of the kidneys and bladder, as well as the general nervous system and the incoordination in the areas of the brachials, just a little higher up, which cause distresses to organs of sensory system, general nervous system and the glandular forces of the body. This produces problems at times with the inability for the body to have any great activity without much fatigue. Vitamins have little affect. Osteopathic treatments were advised until the removal of the disruption in the 6th dorsal center. This forms a pressure in the segments below and above. Corrections in the 6th, 5th and 7th, coordinating the organs which are supplied from the lumbar and lower dorsal centers and the 3rd Cervicals and those upward with same. Taken in a series. Take the corrections and coordinating of the centers, six to eight treatments. Rest a week or two and then again, and repeat this five or six times to removal the pressure. Jerusalem artichokes were also to be given when the treatments have begun, instead of insulin, which may be gradually diminished. Artichokes were to be cooked in Patapar paper. Have in the beginning about three of these each week, about the size of a hen egg. These would be cooked well, but the juices in and from same mixed with the pulp, as they are prepared. . Do not use too much salt and do use, in all the vegetables cooked, the kelp or health salt and not the regular sodium chloride as purified. Refrain from any red meats. A little fish or fowl but not too much of these. Great quantities of leafy vegetables and little or none of pod variety. Very little of those which grow under the ground except occasionally the oyster plant, carrots, and beets and the beet tops prepared together. No white potatoes. He also said do not do much exercise in the beginning. When asked (Q) would you suggest a tonic or something to build up the system, especially the nails and hair? Cayce said the diet outlined would do this but also said three days together (but use the same days regularly) one drop of Atomidine in half a glass of water, mornings before any meal is taken. (Q) Any further advice? Have an attitude of constructive thinking. Be good for something, as well as being just physically or mentally good. Do a good deed each day. Go out of the way to help someone else, it'll help self. Report She died in a coma 11/6/44. Feel sure that she was doing nothing that the reading said for her to do. She occasionally mentioned the effort to get Jerusalem artichokes. Her husband was overseas and she about her after '44, but I feel that she did very little that the reading told her to do.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Great advice Stan! My company actually encourages people to pass a test so they are DSHEA compatible. To my shame I ordered the stuff ages ago and never did get around to actually doing the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
