Edgar Cayce
Iodine: the once a century elementThomas P Townsend Newsletter, June 2004
"Sometime after I began delving into the Cayce readings on iodine I came across one that would ever alter my perspective on the nature of the human condition. Mr. Cayce stated that there are only four elements needed to sustain the physical body: water, salt, soda (or calcium carbonate--baking soda is half soda), and iodine. He goes on to say that if we have these four substances, presumably in sufficient and balanced proportions, then the body can generate everything else it needs."
Excerpts From The Edgar Cayce Readings On Atomic IodineCayce E
"As we find, there are other properties much preferable in the use of same than the old formula. Here's the better formula:
"To 1 ounce of Oil of Butterfat, add;
"Stir well together. Preferable that this never be put in tin, but rather in the porcelain or glass, and should be in an ounce or ounce and a quarter hexagon-shaped jar, preferably. The directions would be to apply as an ointment to the affected portions once or twice each day. Rest as much as possible after applications, with the feet elevated above the head. It'll cure it!"
"Take internally each day from three to eight minims of Atomidine, which is iodine with the poison out."
"Atomidine is manufactured by Schieffelin & Co., New York. I do not know whether you will be able to obtain this locally or not, but it has been on the market for several years. This is iodine with the poison removed, yet giving the iodine the effect in the system, as indicated from the very name of the product itself. The company will be able to furnish you with a great many reports of what it has done in hospitals, as well as in local practice."
"For remember, while ye give many combinations there are only four elements in your body: water, salt, soda, and iodine."
"I want to summarize several areas in which the Cayce material medica has come to my aid. The largest series I have going involves the use of Atomidine and Glycothymoline in the treatment of canker sores or aphthoustomatitis and the herpes fever blisters."
"(Q) Is there any special precaution one can take from getting the flu? (A) Spraying the nasal passages and throat occasionally with a 30% solution of Atomidine - that is commercial strength - will most insure not getting same, provided the body is kept alkaline with the diets."
"We would use occasionally as an antiseptic gargle those properties of Atomidine; 15 - 20 minims in a half glass of water. This as a gargle will aid in not only cleansing the membranes of throat and head, but there will be sufficient absorption of the properties themselves to aid in the glands reaction. "
"(Q) What causes the ends of my hair to split and prescribe treatment necessary to correct this condition? (A) Lack of the proper activity of the thyroid gland. This is to be changed by not burning the hair, not taking too much of the oil out of the body, but by taking occasionally a little Atomidine; not too much, if the body is close to or upon the seashore regularly. But three days in succession during one week out of the month, take one drop in half a glass of water before the morning meal. Don't take it the rest of the time."
"At least every day, until the irritation and discharge is better, do have the Atomidine douche - body temperature. The portions would be a teaspoonful of Atomidine to each quart of water, used, having the water body temperature. Then, after the Atomidine douche, use a warm douche with Glycothymoline in same; about a tablespoon to a quart of water. The Atomidine is the acid and the Glycothymoline is the alkaline, you see? The Atomidine douche is destructive to the tissue that has become irritated or sore, while the Glycothymoline douche following sameis an antiseptic. Both are antiseptic in their natures, but one is an acid while the other is an alkaline. Have these at the same time, but take the Atomidine douche first each day, preferably when ready to retire."
"(Q) Would the occasional taking of Atomidine be wise? (A) Not if you use the kelp salt."
"Q) Should I continue taking Atomidine? (A) This is well provided there is not kept an excess of iodine food values. But as we find, there is not a better manner in which iodine may be assimilated then small quantities of Atomidine taken rather periodically. That is, take one or two minims morning and evening for two, three, or four days ; then leave off for a week or two weeks, then take again. This keeps a better balance in these directions."
"(Q) Would taking of thyroid help thyroid balance? (A) The taking of thyroid may help a little latter, but not in the present. To help the glandular balance better now we would use the kelp salt in the food preparations. Just used as seasoning, not as a medicine, for this carries sufficient iodines and such activity to aid the body in the present. When the cold comes on and greater activity is required, then use the glandular extract. That which is prepared from the glandular force itself is the better, and this should best be given under the direction of a physician."
"For the prevention of cold and the inclinations which usually arise though the mucous membranes of the nasal passage and the throat, we would use a weakened solution of Atomidine as a spray. This would be advisable once a day or once in two days dependent upon the irritation, how much activity, how much in areas where there may be expected particles of dust to accumulate, or where there is a great deal of activity of many bodies. As to how often the spray is used then, depends upon such activities. This will require then that the atomizer be cleansed very thoroughly each time after it is used, else the tendency will be for the solution to corrode upon parts of the atomizer too greatly. If possible use a glass or rubber atomizer, and even then clean same with a little warm soda solution and let it dry thoroughly and be wiped again before solution is put in to same. Spray the nasal passages and the throat. The proportions for the solution would be a teaspoonful of Atomidine to an ounce of distilled water, or that proportion. Or, preferably use a medicine dropper and measure how many drops to a teaspoonful. Then once set it is not necessary to measure in the teaspoonful, but in the medicine dropper or in the glass, which is much preferable to metals of any nature."
