Edgar Cayce's Perspective on Cerebral Palsy
Edgar Cayce gave readings for more than a dozen persons afflicted with cerebral palsy, ranging in age from infancy to adulthood, and in degree of debility from mild to profound.
The treatment recommended in each reading was different, depending on the needs and situation of the patient. Some cases were complicated by epilepsy and other conditions, and a number of different etiologies were cited (though the most frequent scenario appeared to be birth injury resulting from a breech presentation and a forceps delivery). Certain therapeutic commonalities did frequently recur, however, such as dietary advice, massage, osteopathic manipulative therapy, and--especially--regular use of the Cayce wet cell battery.
In almost every case, the prognosis was good, provided that the suggested treatment regimen was implemented with patience, persistence, and a positive attitude. Prayer, meditation, and other spiritual disciplines were also seen as being of paramount importance, particularly in cases that were "karmic" in nature (that is, in which cerebral palsy was seen as resulting from misdeeds in previous incarnations).
Unfortunately, the Cayce approach to treating cerebral palsy is a long-term proposition, and it might easily take five to seven years (or longer) to achieve the maximum therapeutic benefit. Also, covert improvement can occur with little or no outward manifestion for many months, if not years. Thus there is often the lack of positive feedback to encourage one to continue treatment. Hence, in no case was the Cayce regimen implemented long enough to achieve its full effect.
The Cayce readings on cerebral palsy are both encouraging and discouraging--encouraging insofar as hope for improvement was almost always offered, but discouraging insofar as an extraordinary degree of determination and commitment to the Cayce treatment plan is required.
In my opinion, a person who wishes to treat cerebral palsy along the lines suggested in the Edgar Cayce readings has at least three options.
The first option is to find and follow a reading that most closely approximates one's particular set of circumstances. I believe there are a sufficient number and variety of CP readings to make this option not only feasible, but perhaps the most desirable.
The second option involves devising and then applying an "average" CP treatment. In my view, the readings on cerebral palsy are so diverse that this option will be, at best, extremely difficult.
The third option involves using a regimen similar to the one I used to overcome multiple sclerosis, a detailed descripton of which is contained in my book, The Edgar Cayce Way of Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis: Vibratory Medicine.
The reason I believe this to be a viable option is because it is really a generalized "shotgun" approach to treating a wide variety of neurological conditions, including spinal cord injuries, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and muscular dystrophy. On the one hand, it will probably not be as effective as one recommended by Edgar Cayce himself for a given specific situation. But, on the other hand, its effectiveness has been proven beyond doubt in my own case, and it is certainly worth trying if neither one of the first two options appear desirable. It is, you might say, a "default" treatment.
In any event, whatever option one chooses, my book is highly recommended as background and reference material, for it discusses--at least to some extent--most of the therapies suggested by Cayce in the treatment of cerebral palsy.

It is my sincere hope and prayer that many will at least TRY Edgar Cayce's approach to treating cerebral palsy. The rewards (although they might be long in coming) could be enormous.
In my travels through life, I have encountered a number of CP victims, so I do have some inkling of how terribly devastating this particular malady can be, and I can only imagine how difficult and heart-rending it must be to have a son or daughter so afflicted, or to be a cerebral palsy sufferer oneself. As one who was a breech presentation and a forceps delivery himself, I can only say, "There but for the grace of God go I."
