The source of much of the A.R.E. Clinic's information about health care comes from one of the most intriguing figures of the early 20th century, an American psychic or seer known as Edgar Cayce.

While in a trance state, Edgar Cayce gave thousands of discourses — known as “readings” — on the causes of individual ailments. He appeared to accurately describe the physical conditions of people he had never met, and the remedies for these conditions seemed to have worked. He was tested for accuracy and validity many times by a variety of investigators, and each time left the investigators impressed with his ability, and puzzled as to how such a talent could truly exist.

By the time of his death in 1945, Edgar Cayce had given over 14,000 readings of which we have written record. Of these, more than 9,000 were given on the subject of individual health care. The remainder of the readings — approximately 5,000 — are on subjects reflecting the wide variety of interests of the people who sought his advice. There are many readings on reincarnation and past life accounts, readings on dreams and their interpretation, spiritual teachings through the ages, the tale of Atlantis, and much more.
