DEDICATION
This book is simply, but with a great deal of love, dedi-
cated to two individuals who have together shaped world
thought in a way that benefits every individual living in it.
Edgar Cayce was born in 1877 in Hopkinsville, Kentucky,
and lived a life that was sometimes painfully eventful. He
had developed a gift in former lifetimes, however, which
gave him the capacity to lie down and enter a state of al-
tered consciousness that could then be tapped. He was able
to touch in on the akashic records and the information in
what we call universal consciousness.
He could contact the unconscious mind of individuals
far distant from where he was giving a reading and could
describe not only past lives, but also the state of the
inquirer's physiological functioning and what needed to be
done to return that individual to full health.
His legacy for the world was a library full of nearly 15,000
psychic readings of such depth that they have not been
equalled in this century, if, indeed, in any century. Hun-
dreds of books have been written about this man and his
readings, and thousands upon thousands of men and
women and particularly children have awakened to new life
through the use of the information he left I have not seen
such a legacy rivaled in the thirty-seven years I have spent
working with psychic data and this material as it related to
the practice of medicine.
Edgar Cayce called his work the work of the Christ, and
anyone who studies these readings to any depth would
most likely agree. I certainly find it to be so.
I could not stop there. For, without the lifetime that Hugh
Lynn Cayce (Edgar's eldest son) spent working with the
readings, bringing the Work of the Christ to the attention of
the world through his leadership, his traveling, speaking,
writing, and enthusiasm, the A.R.E. would probably not
Foreword
There is no zealot like the nonbeliever whohas seen the
light. I suppose I fit that description when it comes to castor
oil. As a child, I had too many distasteful encounters with a
concoction my mother made by adding a liberal dose of
castor oil to my orange juice and making sure that I forced it
down. I hated the taste, and for years afterward avoided or-
ange juice because of the unpleasant association.
Today, thanks to having been enlightened by Dr. William
A. McGarey, I'm a true believer that we can enjoy the health
benefits of "the oil that heals" without drinking a drop of it.
Consequently, I keep a bottle of it close at hand and use it
often. Castor oil often seems miraculous, for who would
expect so many beneficial medicinal effects—everything
from preventing abdominal surgery to dissolving gallstones
and eliminating warts—from a common, inexpensive lu-
bricant, used mostly today for industrial purposes.
In describing cases of magical recoveries by his patients
IX
who applied castor oil, Dr. Bill reminds me of a New Eng-
land doctor who years ago proclaimed the health benefits
of drinking water laced with honey and vinegar. It is so
simple and inexpensive, one wonders why all doctors don't
recommend it
But Dr. Bill does much more here than tell poignant suc-
cess stories of sick people who got well by applying the oil
he often recommends. He offers us a basic education about
the healing process itself—a process misunderstood by
those who believe that it is the doctor or the drug, or both,
that heals us. Not so, says the author, based on his long ex-
perience as a family physician. Healing is a natural
God-given function of the body, in collaboration with the
mind and spirit. Disease or a failure to heal signals a dys-
function in one or all systems.
Dr. McGarey, a true medical pioneer, has shown great
courage in betting his professional reputation on this con-
cept, which he learned from studying and testing the
concepts found in the Edgar Cayce readings, because it is
very disturbing to many elements of the health care com-
munity. Many mainstream practitioners scoff at this
"unscientific" theory—although it is one that is much more
widely accepted today than when Dr. McGarey began prac-
ticing it over twenty years ago at the A.R.E. Clinic he
founded in Phoenix, Arizona. Many patients reject this con-
cept of healing because they would rather believe they are
the victim of an external cause than take personal responsi-
bility for their condition. And the "disease-care industry," as
Dr. C. Norman Shealy describes the hospital-health insur-
ance business, finds this concept threatening. It could
reduce health problems if we learn to give our body-mind-
spirit all the natural advantages needed to promote
self-healing. Dr. Bill is doing his very best to teach us how.
While some health practitioners may regard "the oil that
heals" as just another "snake oil" or placebo, readers will
