Edgar Cayce

Before mid-1930s, health care in America was composed of many approaches. There coexisted a diversity of medical schools, each addressing a different facet of the healing arts. It was in the late 1930s that young Ralph Weiss was trained at the American School of Naturopathy in Manhattan, New York, under the guidance of Dr.

Rather than seeing financial hardships as some sort of punishment, or mistakenly assume that the experience of poverty can somehow make someone more "spiritual," the Cayce readings suggest that - seen correctly - the process of achieving economic healing can embody a worthwhile experience in personal growth.

Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) has been called the "father of holistic medicine" and the most documented psychic of the 20th century. For more than 40 years of his adult life, Cayce gave "readings" to thousands of seekers while in an unconscious state, diagnosing illnesses and revealing lives lived in the past and prophecies for the future.
