This was very promising for the Meridian group, explains McMillin. Cayce said there are many forms of healing. Cayce said people will get the kind of healing they're ready for in their development. A program for migraine headaches followed last April. Migraines seemed to be an excellent model with which to do that.
Mainstream medicine maintains that migraines are a neurological phenomenon involving the brain.
While Cayce claimed that it clearly involves a nerve reflex, he said it originates in the intestinal tract, or the abdominal brain, most often as a result of incoordination in the nervous systems and an imbalance in circulation, or irritability of the intestines, or simply a toxic colon. When offending foods enter the area, the vagus nerve sends what appears to be a signal for help to the base of the brain, spilling out to the trigeminal nerves that control sensation in the head. Since then, a number of the participants have reported that they have improved and have decreased their medication. In September, a program was held for people suffering from multiple sclerosis. This gave the researchers an opportunity to focus on nervous system regeneration, one of Cayce's more extraordinary hypotheses and the group's initial goal when they first began.
