Gold in the Cerebrospinal Fluid of Patients With
Neurological Disorders
* Effects of Gold on an Invertebrate Nervous System
BASIC SCIENCE RESEARCH
Cayce often discussed the possibility of nerve regeneration for a variety of
neurological conditions (see back issues of this newsletter for reports and
stories on multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, muscular dystrophy, and
Alzheimer’s --http://www.meridianinstitute.com/newslet.htm). Perhaps the most
explicit description of nervous system regeneration is given with regard to
rebuilding the brain in cases of “senility,” a term probably equivalent to the
modern designation of Alzheimer’s dementia:
"The PRINCIPLE [of using electrotherapy with gold or silver] being that these
change the vibratory forces as they add to or take from impulses within the
system, … for WITH the proper manipulations to PRODUCE coordination WITH
drainage in the system, as may be given through manipulation osteopathically, or
neuropathically given to the system under various stages, may create for a body
almost a new brain, will the patience, the suggestion, the activities in the
system BE carried out according to the conditions as necessary to be met."
Based on these concepts, Meridian Institute has developed a research protocol
for Alzheimer’s dementia that will be the primary focus for one of the applied
research projects. Participants in the project will be provided with a wet cell
battery and chemicals for a twelve-month period of application. The protocol
includes written instructions, data collection forms, and a video describing all
aspects of the project. Because Cayce’s approach requires daily sessions with
the battery, massage, and suggestive therapeutics, this applied research project
will require considerable time, energy and flexibility on the part of
caregivers.
A second applied research project is designed for situations where less
resources and flexibility is available. It involves the use of suggestive
therapeutics, a form of natural hypnosis to be used to address behavioral,
cognitive and/or emotional symptoms of dementia. In this project, an
individualized hypnotic script will be created for each participant and will be
delivered during the presleep period at bedtime or during massage. This project
is based on numerous Cayce readings recommending suggestive therapeutics for
behavioral, cognitive and emotional problems. Positive results from a woman
working with a demented parent in a nursing home setting suggest that this
technique has the potential for more widespread application (see the Healing
section below for more on this inspiring story). Like the full research
protocol, the suggestive therapeutics project includes written instructions,
data collection forms, and a video explaining how to work with this technique.
The scholarly and basic science research projects focus on the role of gold as
therapeutic agent for nervous system healing. Gold chloride was the most
commonly recommended medicine for the full spectrum of neurological conditions
covered in the Cayce readings. A scholarly literature review of the medical
literature is being conducted to understand the historic and modern uses of gold
therapy. The literature review is nearing completion and an article is being
written for submission to a peer-reviewed medical journal.
Based on our present understanding of the gold literature, we have designed two
basic science projects. One project will explore the concept of gold as an
essential trace element as measured in cerebrospinal fluid. The second basic
research project will investigate the potential of gold as a healing agent in
the nervous system of a marine invertebrate (jellyfish) with a simple and
relatively accessible nervous system.
We anticipate that these five pilot studies will be completed within a two-year
time frame. If you are interested in participating in either of the applied
research programs, please contact HRRC at (757) 496-6411.
