Greetings!
A number of years ago, the A.R.E. chose Baar Products is the "Official
Worldwide Supplier" of items recommended in the Edgar Cayce readings.
The details of this appointment were never made public. This choice came
as a great surprise to many because, at the time, The Heritage Store was
the oldest and largest supplier of Cayce products.
A few years ago, geologist William Hutton purchased a Radiac, which is
Baar Products' version of the Edgar Cayce radial (or radio-active)
appliance. He got very poor results with it, so he cut the device in
half to see how it was made. It turns out it was totally devoid of a
critical ingredient--charcoal packing. This and other deficiencies were
carefully documented, brought to the attention of Baar Products, and
ostensibly corrected.
In the Spring 2006 catalog of Baar Products, the statement is made that
"the A.R.E. endorses the RADIAC as the product that most closely follows
CAYCE's recommendations for the design and manufacture of the unit." In
addition, the Radiac is listed as product #100 and retails for $195. For
an additional $50, a shopper can purchase the Radiac with "extra
charcoal packing." No product # is given for such a unit, nor is any
indication given as to the advantage, purpose, or necessity of the
"extra charcoal packing."
Does the word "extra" mean that the $195 device has at least some
charcoal, but that an extra amount is available if anyone wants it? Or
is the word "extra" meant to deceive people into thinking that the $195
model does contain charcoal packing when, in fact, it doesn't?
This is Baar Products' explanation for the two different versions of
Radiac that are currently featured in their catalog:
"We have two types of packing incorporated into the Radiacs. One has a
carbon material in addition to a smaller but finer amount of charcoal.
This conforms to Cayce's requirement to have a uniform commercial method
of manufacture. We also make available a Radiac with extra charcoal
packing. This conforms to Cayce's older method of manufacturing."
This explanation does not appear in the catalog. To me, it means that
only the unit with extra charcoal packing meets Cayce's original design
specifications, a situation which cannot be determined based on the
catalog description. Therefore, most customers--if only to save
$50--will purchase model #100, which, in my opinion, is a substandard
device.
Let the buyer beware!
Although the Edgar Cayce radial appliance is currently available from a
number of manufacturers, the one I would personally recommend is made by
Tom Hildebrand. He calls it the "Ice Appliance" because, like all radial
appliances, it must be placed in ice water to activate it. The unit is
sturdy, well-made, and based on the research of Joseph R. Myers, a
professional engineer. It is the model that I myself use on a daily
basis. For more information, visit
