Edgar Cayce Principles of Holistic Health

Here is a short summary of the video: True health comes from a harmony of the body, mind, and spirit. This is holistic health. Having a great physical body but being emotionally sick is not healthy. The same goes for having an excellent intellect but a frail body.

Edgar Cayce believed it was important to know the origin of an illness rather than to just treat the symptoms. Dr. Harold J. Reilly summarized the Cayce approach with the acronym CARE.

C=circulation (exercise and massage)
A=assimilation (taking what is needed from food, water, and air)
R=relaxation (meditation, sleep patterns, recreation)
E=elimination (getting rid of toxins, both physical and mental)

An Eastern concept is that you must feed the body good food, feed the mind with good thoughts, and also nuture the soul. We can face air and water pollution, but today we also must contend with mental pollution.
