The therapeutic manipulation techniques outlined in this booklet are based on the work of the renowned Christian mystic and visionary Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), whom many consider to be the "Father of Holistic Medicine." Although Edgar Cayce was not a physician, his advice brought help and healing to the thousands of individuals who consulted him for various conditions ranging from headaches and influenza to stomach ulcers, leukemia, and multiple sclerosis. 

Even today, more than half a century after his death, Edgar Cayce's recommendations are being studied and successfully applied by health professionals and lay persons who continue to find an inexhaustible resource in the more than 14,000 discourses, known as "readings," that he provided during his lifetime. In true holistic fashion, the readings always addressed the involvement of mind and spirit in physical conditions, emphasizing that healing would only occur when body, mind, and spirit were harmonized and brought into balance.
