Cayce also recommended using atomidine - which we have not yet done with my mom but it can be purchased online and I plan to give it a try. From widipedia: Atomidine is a liquid iodine preparation that was recommended as a therapeutic measure in over 600 'readings' (channelled writings) by Edgar Cayce. Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology in the Health Readings of Edgar Cayce Video 5j: Cancer Report - The video segments in this collection are excerpted from. Edgar Cayce, widely regarded as a the father of holistic medicine, gave readings and information relevant to the discussion of colon cancer cure and rectal cancer cure. He explained that poor assimilations, poor eliminations, and overacidity in the body were all contributing factors in the occurrence of intestinal cancer. Submitted by Nan Thomas x ALMONDS And, just as indicated in other suggestions-those who would eat two to three almonds each day need never fear cancer. (Reading 1158-31) Especially almonds are good and if an almond is taken each day, and kept up, you’ll never have accumulations of tumors or such conditions through the body. An almond a day is much more in accord with keeping the doctor.
Cayce makes no statements about the physiology of the action of the almonds, although in one reading he did state that within the almond was a substance that he called a vitamin. He stated that taking two or three almonds a day would prevent a tendency toward cancer. Nowhere, apparently, does he mention almonds as a treatment for cancer. He did suggest the use of them to several people after they had a cancerous growth removed and likewise in several places to prevent the tendency for it ever occurring.
The almond, Prunus amygdalus, is closely related to the peach, Prunus persica (also called Amygdalus persica), and likewise to the apricot, Prunus armeniaca. The almond nut is of two distinct types, the bitter and the sweet. The bitter almond contains a ferment, emulsin, which in the presence of water acts on the glucoside, amygdalin, and yields glucose, benzaldehyde and hydrocyanic acid. Amygdalin, of course, is present in the sweet almond, but not the ferment, emulsin. It is interesting to note that a cancer therapy, Laetrile, which has been discredited and banned by government authorities, is described as an extract from the apricot kernel, and is for the most part hydrocyanic acid. It has been hypothesized by the discoverer that this acid is destroyed in the body by normal cellular oxidative metabolism, but cancer cells, functioning without oxidative mechanisms, are unable to destroy the acid; thus they absorb it and are destroyed themselves. Cayce mentioned some of these mechanisms in his readings. He suggested sweet almonds rather than the bitter, advised they be used in the prevention rather than the cure of cancer, and ascribed their value to a vitamin-type substance rather than an acid. Perhaps this followed his general philosophy of doing things gently and gradually rather than sharply and abruptly. However, it is interesting to note the relationships between these substances that have both been used now in human beings in relationship to the disease called cancer.

An Edgar Cayce Anthology
How exciting to rediscover this book which I bought years ago. I have just unpacked it from a box where it has been stored for several years.
‘An Edgar Cayce Anthology’ was published by the Edagar Cayce Foundation in 1979. In this book is an article by W.H. Church, on the spiritual and healing qualities of the almond, and its value as a cancer preventative. This article has much information which is gleaned from Edgar Cayce’s pyschic readings on the almond.
Almond As Cancer Preventative: An excerpt from reading number 3180-3 of Edgar Cayce’s says: ” …..and if an almond is taken each day, and kept up, you’ll never have accumulations of tumors or such conditions through the body. An almond a day is much more in accord with keeping the doctor away, especially certain types of doctors, than apples.”
Almonds are high in potassium, phosphorous, calcium and iron. All these things are found to be important for preventing and treating cancer. Almonds also have amounts of laetrile, or vitamin B17, which is known to be effective in reducing cancerous tumours. Almonds have good amounts of Niacin, an important B Vitamin which is essential in preventing and treating cancer. Almonds also contain Riboflavin. They are rich in protein, and contain all eight of the essential amino acids.
It seems, from W.H. Church’s account, that the iron and phosphorous in almonds are in a combination which makes them easily assimilated by the human body.

Almonds benefit the brain and the nervous system generally. It has been found that two of the body’s Endocrine glands, the Pituitary and the Pineal gland, require large amounts of phosphorous for their healthy functioning. Edgar Cayce equated these two glands with Spiritual Realities, or Divine Realities: The Pineal Gland corresponds to the “Name”, or the Christed Consciousness, and the Pituitary Gland corresponds to “The Kingdom OF Heaven”. These terms are to be found in Cayce’s readings, and also in his commentary on the Book of Revelations. See page 71 of ‘An Edgar Cayce Anthology’ for more details on Edgar Cayce, Almonds and the Endocrine Glands.
These glands are important for the hormonal functions of the body, and the immune system. Thus, almonds will go a long way in preventing diseases and maintaining good health. Almonds should help, as well as protecting against cancer, to also prevent diabetes, high blood pressure, alzheimer’s disease, and other degenerative diseases of the circulation, brain and nervous system.
Almonds would seem to be of great benefit to people who are trying to maintain a healthy immune system following effects of radiation fall-out from the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The phosphorous in almonds, combined with the other nutrients such as laetrile, or Vitamin B17, or amygdalin, will help to keep the thyroid healthy and hold cancer at bay.
Edgar Cayce On Cancer
Edgar Cayce advised from one to three almonds to clients. Each client was given a specific amount – some needed only one a day, while others were given more.
W.H. Church explains that the almond recommended in Cayce’s readings was more a tool to “assist the evolving of the human personality in raising the consciousness in each cell to a recognition of the Divine within”.
