Who was Edgar Cayce?
Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) started as a medical intuitive in the early 1900’s, helping countless people with hopeless conditions regain health with the use of natural remedies. Over time, the Cayce psychic readings evolved to highlight the spiritual side of his underlying body-mind-spirit, holistic philosophy. He became known as a Christian mystic as well as the “Father of Holistic Medicine.” Over 14,000 of his readings were meticulously transcribed and archived. Today, those readings and related information are available from the Association for Research and Enlightenment, the organization founded by Edgar in 1931.
