Treatment of Epilepsy

Aprominent figure in modern holistic health, Edgar Cayce gave numerous psychicreadings on the causes and treatment of epilepsy. In contrast to mainstreammedicine that concentrates almost exclusively on the brain as the soledysfunctional organ in epilepsy, the Cayce readings focus primarily onpathology in peripheral systems (especially endocrine glands, the autonomicnervous system, and the abdominal lymphatic system) which in turn cause orcontribute to brain seizures. Treatment options flow naturally from this viewof causation and pathology with physiotherapy, diet, and medicine forming thecore of the therapeutic approach. However, even with the strongphysical/biological emphasis in the readings, there is also an inherentholistic emphasis that includes spiritual and mental (i.e., soul) involvementin the causes and treatment of epilepsy.
