The following is from a booklet I put together after my daughter was
healed from epilepsy after using the Cayce remedies. It is available
also from the A.R.E. bookstore. If anyone can help me get this on a
free website in a better format, please let me know. Also if you're
interested in learning more about the remedies, start reading the
earliest messages.

Dedicated with gratitude to Jeanette Thomas, who epitomizes the spirit
of Edgar Cayce's work in action.

Introduction

"Again we would insist that we have asked that it be taken as a
study, as a thing or condition in the experience of mankind - that
this organization may give much to the world on one particular
disturbance that has baffled the wise and the foolish. This study on
that called epilepsy - for THREE YEARS! And you will be
undefeatable!" 254-82

Still in trance at the end of a "work" reading given to guide
the
A.R.E. as an organization, Edgar Cayce volunteered the above
statement without any prompting. It was 1935 and Cayce's source
was
urging them on, saying,

"It's often stated that the work IS a research and
enlightenment program; but how much research have you done?"
254-81

"Again we would insist….", quite a strong urging! But it
holds the
promise of relief from a condition that brings misery to many.

In all, Cayce gave 269 readings to 97 people indexed under the
heading of "epilepsy." I read most of them in my quest to
help my
daughter who had suffered with it for eight years. What encouraged
me the most, besides the comfort the first castor oil pack brought
her, was that there had been at least 9 people reporting they were
cured, giving credit in part or in whole, to the psychic readings
they had received from Edgar Cayce.

Their stories are what follow. Selections from the readings given to
those people and their edited reports speak for themselves. Order
is predominantly by age. Words in bold print were especially
meaningful to me.

1. Case [2473]:

A 5-year-old girl. She received more than one reading but none were
transcribed. The reports were from her father, mother and sister.
This is one instance where the person's name was available, in
addition to a case number; because the family wanted others to know
of Cayce's gift and the help they had received for their little
girl.

12/12/1902 Aimee L. Dietrich was given her first reading by Edgar
Cayce when she was nearly 5 years old and he was 25. She first
developed seizures when she was 2 years old with "an attack of La
Grippe" (the flu). After following the suggestions in her
readings,
Aimee was seizure-free for approximately 14 years. Her sister
reported there was a recurrence during college, but again she was
healed, this time through her faith. It is evident that she received
at least two healings but still died at a young age.
A New York Times article , dated 10/9/1910, was written about Dr.
Wesley H. Ketchum's experiences with Cayce and mentions this
little
girl's initial cure.

10/8/1910 Father's sworn affidavit:
"Aimee L. Dietrich, born January, 7th, 1897, at
Hopkinsville,
KY, was perfectly strong and healthy until Feb. 1899, when she had an
attack of La Grippe, followed by two violent convulsions, each of
twenty minutes duration. Dr. T. G. Yates, now of Pensacola, Florida,
was the attending physician. Convulsions returned, at irregular
intervals, with increasing severity. She would fall just like she
was shot; her body would become perfectly rigid, the spells lasting
from one to two minutes.
This went on for two years, or until she was four years old.
At this time, she was taken to Dr. Linthicum and Dr. Walker, also of
Evansville. They said a very peculiar type of nervousness was all
that ailed her and proceeded to treat her accordingly, but after
several months' treatment, with no results, the treatment was
stopped.
In a few months, Dr. Oldham [D.O.] of Hopkinsville, KY, was
consulted and he treated her three months, without results. Later he
took her for four months more treatment, making seven months in all,
but without results. She was now six years old and getting worse,
had as many as twenty convulsions in one day, her mind was a blank,
all reasoning power was entirely gone.
March 1st, 1902, she was taken to Dr. Hoppe of Cincinnati,
who made a most thorough examination. He pronounced her a perfect
specimen physically, except for the brain affliction, concerning
which he stated that only nine cases of this peculiar type were
reported in Medical Records, and every one of these had proved
fatal. He told us that nothing could be done, except to give her
good care, as her case was hopeless and she would die soon in one of
these attacks.
At this period our attention was called to Mr. Edgar Cayce,
who was asked to diagnose the case. By autosuggestion, he went into
a sleep or trance and diagnosed her case as one of congestion at base
of the brain, stating also minor details. He outlined to Dr. A. C.
Layne [D.O.], now of Griffin, GA., how to proceed to cure her. Dr.
Layne treated her accordingly, every day for three weeks, using Mr.
Cayce occasionally to follow up the treatment, as results developed.
Her mind began to clear up about the eighth day and within three
months she was in perfect health, and is so to this day. This case
can be verified by many of the best citizens of Hopkinsville, KY.
And further deponent, saith not."

10/9/1910 Part of the N.Y. Times article titled: "Illiterate Man
Becomes A Doctor When Hypnotized: Strange Power Shown by Edgar Cayce
Puzzles Physicians"
"Dr. Wesley H. Ketchum is a reputable physician of high standing
and
successful practice in the homeopathic school of medicine…..
`One
case, a little girl, daughter of a gentleman prominent in the
American Book Company of Cincinnati, had been diagnosed by the best
men in the Central States as incurable. One diagnosis from my man
completely changed the situation, and within three months she was
restored to perfect health, and is to this day.' "

10/17/1910 Mrs. Dietrich's (Aimee's mother) letter in reply to an
inquiry about the truth of the article:

"Dear Madam:
I would say to you, that every word in the clipping you enclosed is
true, except that our little girl was SIX instead of EIGHT years of
age when the cure was affected. … Mr. Cayce is NO fake.
I am sincerely yours…"

1/20/1959 Finally, a letter from Aimee's sister, Lois D. Freeman,
to
Hugh Lynn Cayce:

" Dear Mr. Cayce:
…I shall be happy to comply with your request for
information
on the life of Aimee Dietrich. …. Aimee L. Dietrich, 6 years old,
pronounced a hopeless case of epilepsy, improved rapidly after a
reading by Edgar Cayce and treatment by Dr. A. C. Layne. In three
weeks time she was able to sit up in a chair and cut out pictures.
She entered school the following year, attending schools in
Hopkinsville and Winchester, KY. She graduated second in her class
from Winchester High School, and entered the University of Kentucky
in 1916.

A year or two later the convulsions recurred and medical
treatment was ineffective. She became interested in Christian
Science and had a healing experience. She reentered the U. of
Kentucky and graduated with honors in 1930 or 1931. In 1933 she
suffered a severe case of influenza from which she never recovered.
Glandular tuberculosis developed and she passed away on March 20,
1934, at the age of 37."
