An Edgar Cayce Reading
on Biotin and Cancer
TEXT OF READING 09-1
1. GC: You will have before you the
research which has been done on the structure of Biotin, as announced by Professor
Vincent du Vigneaud, head of the Department of Biochemistry, Cornell University
Medical College, Ithaca, N.Y. You will give a discourse on the mechanism of
action of this powerful vitamin, as to bring about a clearer understanding of
its effect on living things. Also you will advise if this chemical can be found
in fish eggs; such as caviar, roe, etc.
2. EC: Yes, - we have here the findings
that have been indicated by Professor Vigneaud.
3. This, as we find, is a move in
a direction in which improvements may be made in the general health of individuals
where such tendencies of cancer are indicated.
4. As to any great value, as yet,
in the preventing or the eradicating of conditions where these growths have
reached such proportions as to be cellular forces in themselves, - this is yet
questioned.
5. Biotin,
as called, is found in the roe, especially of the shark and such fish, - more
than it would be found in caviar or sturgeon.
6. This, of course, may be used as
a means for removing those tendencies, and where conditions are begun.
7. Of course, as is understood, this
disturbance (cancer) to the human body is of a different nature from many of
the ills of the body. It, of course, is in many forms and characteristics. Those
forms that are external may be aided much by the use of certain rays or lights
that destroy certain cellular force, and make for the ability of a healthy body
in other respects to meet conditions.
8. Those forms that are of the nature
where glands are involved, - as in the breast or the like, - may be removed,
in some stages of same, by surgery.
9. Those forms that are of the internal
nature, - as in the lungs, the liver, the organs of the body, - and especially
the female organs, - are of another character.
10. These all represent or present
varied problems.
11. Now, the use of Biotin in any
of these conditions would be a helpful influence, for it creates in itself an
element that changes the form of the vibration about the molecule of the blood,
or the circulation through such areas.
12. It would be well that this research
be carried on.
