Edgar Cayce Disease Common Denominators

According to Cayce, diseases often had certain causal common denominators, including:

Poor Assimilation: Occurs when the nutrients and energies required for building new cells and tissues are not supplied, adequately absorbed, or efficiently used.

Poor Elimination: Whether through the intestinal tract, bladder and kidneys, skin pores, or lungs, results in the buildup of toxic substances.

Poor Diet: Especially lacking fresh fruits and vegetables, compromises health.

Improper Acid-Alkaline Balance: Adversely affects electrochemical communication between cells, including nerve impulses.

Spinal Dislocations and Lesions: Affect nerve impulses that could directly or indirectly affect every part of the body.

Nervous System Imbalance: Adversely affects the entire body. A healthy nervous system requires the assimilation of key nutrients and hormones secreted from glands.

Circulatory System Imbalance: Adversely affects the supply of nutrients through the body and the removal of waste products.

Glandular Malfunction: Affects the secretion of key hormones required for cellular functions, including the absorption of key nutrients and minerals.

Stress and Overexertion: Aggravates physical and mental disorders.

Infection: Especially in combination with other factors.

Attitudes, Emotions & Karma: Cayce believed in mind-body-and-spirit healing, in which your mental attitudes and emotions affect your physical health. In addition, he believed in the role of past-life karmic influences in health, especially in physical disability.
