Flu Immunization
from True Health Newsletter
In early autumn while I was working
on this issue, much media concern
regarding H1N1, also known as “swine
flu,” has been broadcast, leaving some
True Health readers wondering what suggestions
the Cayce readings made on this
subject. Over one hundred individuals are
listed in the readings’ index as receiving
information on the “flu,” its treatment
and its aftereffects. The following excerpts
narrow the focus to immunization, about
which several recipients had questions.
On July 12, 1935, a twenty-three year
old woman, planning to travel to the
British Isles, asked:
“(Q) Are inoculations against contagious
diseases necessary for me before
sailing in September? [from N.Y. to
England and Scotland]
“(A) As we find, only where the requirements
are such as to demand same
would this be adhered to at all. So far as
the body-physical condition is concerned,
the adherence to the use of carrots, lettuce
and celery every day at a meal or as a portion
of the meal will insure against any
contagious infectious forces with which
the body may be in contact.” (480-19)
She followed this with another question:
“(Q) Can immunization against
them be set up in any other manner than
by inoculation?
“(A) As indicated, if an alkalinity is
maintained in the system—especially with
lettuce, carrots and celery, these in the
blood supply will maintain such a condition
as to immunize a person.” (480-19)
Venture Inward magazine published an
article in the Nov./Dec.’08 issue, pp. 20-
24, “How I Immunize Against Colds—in
Alaska,” by Katie Wood. While specific
to colds, it also contains more detailed information
about immunization.
Another reading for a twenty-nine year
old woman, given on January 16,
1937, mentions the importance of maintaining
alkalinity as well as using a nasal
and throat spray:
“(Q) Is there any special precaution
one can take to keep from getting the‘flu’?
“(A) Spraying the nasal passages and
throat occasionally with a thirty percent
solution of Atomidine—that is, commercial
strength—will most insure not getting same; provided the body is kept alkaline
with the diets.” (808-5)
The next and final excerpt, from reading
654-3 given on June 21, 1928, for
an adult woman (no age given), includes
information distinguishing between the
cold and flu germ as well as blood composition.
“(Q) Will the ‘flu’ vaccine taken prevent
re-attacks?
“(A) With the proper care this will prevent;
though the conditions that arise from
cold or congestion will ever be apparent
without sufficient of that in the system to
combat with that germ or bacilli known
as cold (and is not ‘flu’ germ!). One may
be combated with, certain elements in
the blood, while the other would be only
to create others that would affect other
portions of the body. With proper care,
though, the ‘flu’ would be out-lawed, or
the body would be immune to the
effect of ‘flu’ proper.
“(Q) How can she prevent
taking ‘flu’?
“(A) As given. To prevent taking
cold is to prevent the body
from reaching that point where
the blood is acted upon by that
bacilli known as cold, or the preventative
is to create in the system
that which combats cold (which is
pure rich blood!), by keeping the system
nominally balanced, keeping the metabolism
of the body at or near normal.
“(Q) Is the ‘flu’ germ that which is
causing her repeated illness?
“(A) More those of cold than ‘flu,’
though the effects are produced by that
of the inability of the hemoglobin to produce
that in system that will efficiently
combat cold, germ, or bacilli, or lack of
the white strep in the blood itself.”
Maintaining an alkaline system, particularly
by daily eating lettuce, carrots,
and celery, is a healthy habit to follow.
These blood-building vegetables will
help promote the needed alkalinity that,
according to the excerpts quoted above,“will insure against any contagious infectious”
illness. It’s certainly worth a
try putting into practice, since media
emphasis has largely been on promoting
a vaccine rather than building up the
body’s immune system.
ADDITIONAL INFO
ON COLDS
A fifty-seven-year-old naval
architect and marine engineer
received his fourth and final reading
from Edgar Cayce on January 6,
1944. In this health reading, 2528-
4, the last question he asked was:“What specific kind of shots should
I take?” Cayce’s answer describes
the effects of cold shots upon the
lymphatic system, and it happens to
be the only mention of this type of
inoculation in the readings. It is offered
here as further information in
combating the cold and flu. Here is
the answer from the reading:
“Just take three cold shots. These
are cold germs destroyed, then put
in a tube and put into the body. It
produces the effect of causing the
lymph to create a greater quantity
of leukocytes,
which acts upon
the system to
increase circulat ion — thus
keeping down
cold. For it is the
leukocyte that
strangles each
germ that enters,
either through
the nostril or the breath or by contamination.
And the leukocyte must
strangle same, so we increase it! If
the circulation is slow, then there
are not as many leukocytes. So we
inject this type of serum to increase
the quantity! If the body uses the
electrical forces [hand-held violet
ray machine], it will be good. If it
doesn’t, it’ll be bad.” (The June/July
2009 issue of True Health features
the violet ray.)
Leukocytes are colorless, small
cells that are part of the body’s defense
system, sometimes referred to
as white corpuscles.
No follow-up references mention
whether Mr. [2528] took
Cayce’s advice. A note from Gladys
Davis, Cayce’s longtime secretary,
stated that he had “lived an active
life until his death at 72 years of
age.” (2528-3, R#2)
