Many years ago I travelled to Virgina Beach to attend a workshop. While there I visited the A.R.E. site where all the
Edgar Cayce Readings are maintained. I spent several days reading his material and I was deeply impressed by the
nature and apparent accuracy of the readings. In the end I could not organize his system into anything that I could fully
understand or share but I came away with many gems which I now share with you.
The readings looked at each person first from the three points of intake, assimilation and elimination. If the
reading did not find balance in any of these areas then it looked into the area or organs that were deficient and the organs connected
to that function. Then the reading looked deeper into that organ or process until it identified the cause. Once the
primary focus of the disharmony was identified it personalized a cure or process based upon the individual beliefs and
things from the environment. In my opinion you can work with the process up to the point of personalizing it but that
step requires inner knowledge that most people do not have. However, even without a complete model to use there are
many useful ideas that can be of help in the search for health.
Atomidine, first aid in a bottle. The readings said a spiritualized body only needed water, salt, soda and iodine and
from these basic components it could transmute all the materials it need for health. They went on to say that our bodies
have over time developed in such a way that they were not properly absorbing iodine. The readings laid out a complex
process to make an iodine product that would be readily absorbed by the body. The product was called Atomidine
produced today by the Heritage Store in Virgina Beach. Originally, it was suggested as a mouth wash to numb the
gums, to be used as a topical disinfectant and to be ingested, under the guidance of a qualified physician, as a powerful
endocrine stimulant. The readings saw the body as created or formed under the control of the endocrine glands.
Iodine in the form of kelp, in a mild way, and Atomidine in a much stronger way would through the chemical
pathways cause a balancing of these glands. Atomidine was not recommended for every severe illness. The process
was for someone to take one drop in a glass of water 30 minutes prior to eating on day one then go to two drops on day
two three drops on day three etc for up to five days then break for a week and repeat the process. I did try this once as
a preventive tune up but on the second day after taking two drops my thyroid swelled up significantly so I stopped
there. Going past that point would have risked my health and that was the opposite of my goal. In a few days my
thyroid was back to normal size. Recently when I have felt the need for a tune up I would put one drop in a glass of
cool water then either pour off some of the water, to reduce the amount of iodine, or just drink the water. People with
allergic reactions to iodine must not use it. Keep in mind the readings were done many years ago. Diets have changed
and iodine is clearly more available in the food spectrum today. Using iodine to balance these glands should only be
done under the watchful eye of a qualified physician. However, Atomidine, used as a rinse, is excellent for tooth and
gum problems, for throat irritations (to be gargled not swallowed), as well as, a powerful topical disinfectant (for minor
cuts but I have also added it to bath water to treat a severe skin reaction). In theory balancing the chakras, the energy
vortexes that feed the endocrines, would be doing the same thing from the mental side but to be effective you would
need some experience and skill.
Many years ago I had a severe eye infection so I put warm water in clean sink then put 10 drops on Atomidine in the
water. I then put a clean wash cloth in the sink and let it soak up the water. I twisted it and rang out the water then laid
down closed my eyes and laid the warm moist wash cloth over my eyes. I did this each morning and evening for three
days and my eye infection was gone. I was careful to keep the wash cloth moist and not wet and to keep the water
from the cloth out of my eye.
One of my sons had a unique problem when he was younger. His eye teeth were forming from the tooth buds up in his
palette but they were not moving forward as they should. The oral surgeon proposed surgery which was a scary
thought to me so I went to a friend of mine who does an Edgar Cayce style trance reading and requested a health reading. The reading said if he was given a mineral supplement with kelp in it and he would take vitamin C this would correct
itself. The reading said the kelp would gently balance the endocrine glands and along with the additional minerals and C
restore healthy conditions in his body. He took the supplements and this, as predicted, corrected itself naturally.
Neither kelp nor Atomidine are cure alls but they have value in certain cases. Many people believe the herb Licorice is
another gentle way of balancing the endocrines.
I believe the spiritualized body is identical to the Huna concept of being free of guilt. In Huna it was thought the
unconscious was like a hidden genie capable of amazing things if fully utilized. However, most people through guilt or
feeling unworthy have closed off or shut down the genie. I think the readings were saying if you could get free of guilt
and shame your ability to transmute food and to heal would be much greater than normal.
I have used Atomidine many times over the years for many conditions and I can say it has more uses than I could list
here. The only place I have found it to be ineffective is with intestinal issues such as vomiting or diarrhea. I think that
is because it may be absorbed or altered too quickly to be effective in stomach intestinal issues.
