MARTIN: Hello, this is Martin Pytela with Life Enthusiast podcast. And today I have with me, Phil Thomas, he is the founder of Iodine source. And interestingly, Phil has gotten into this business probably thanks to his studies of Edgar. Cayce, is that so Phil?

PHIL: Oh yeah, that’s right.

MARTIN: Well maybe we should introduce the importance of Ed Cayce to the world. Why should people even care that Ed Cayce ever lived?

PHIL: Edgar Cayce was a sensitive, and during the course of his lifetime, he gave readings for people. Primarily that had health related issues and questions, health slash illness questions. And he’s known as the father of holistic medicine because when he was giving the readings back a hundred years ago, he started and they’d lasted for about 25 years. The body of information that he gave was recorded, and then today it makes up the largest information bank of psychically derived information on the planet. He’s the guy who really started the holistic movement.

MARTIN: Okay. So when you’re saying, when you’re saying scientifically derived, I mean, he himself was just hearing it from the ethers, right? Like he was in a trance when he was transmitting information.

PHIL: He would put himself into, he’d lay down on a couch and loosen up his clothes, his tie or whatever, and put himself into a self-induced trance. And then someone would be there, usually his secretary asking him questions. Most of the time they were questions that were written down on a piece of paper that somebody had sent to them as a letter in the mail. Cayce would need to be able to locate that person at that particular time, and know where they were, locate them. And then he would go ahead, proceed to make suggestions about the condition of the body and where the imbalances were, and then make suggestions for how to go about correcting it. So, during the course of his lifetime, there are over 14,000 documented readings. Each of them is a double space, maybe three pages long. And like I said, it’s the largest body of psychically derived information on the planet.

MARTIN: Have you read this stuff?

PHIL: Well I spent 10 years in Virginia Beach where the association for research and enlightenment is located and that’s where the library is. And they also have like a place where they, originally Edgar’s idea was to have a hospital there. So there’s a building there, which a rambling structure that’s near the beach. And the idea was that Edgar was going to give readings. People would come there, they would spend time there, learn how to utilize the suggestions and the readings and the various different aspects that were suggested. And then when they went home, they could take the equipment or the tonics or whatever information was given and then proceed with continuing the recovery process.

MARTIN: So what type of suggestions would he have for people?

PHIL: Most of the time he was talking about spinal manipulations, he was talking about colonics. He often referred to massage, body massage. And then there were diet corrections,
