In 1986, 27-year-old Cathy Comora visited
her ophthalmologist after having some minor vision problems. She was
horrified when her doctor told her she had optic neuritis, a severe
inflammation of the optic nerve. Cathy was told she would probably go
blind:
“It was a very frightening
experience. He said I wouldn’t want to run out right away and buy a
white cane, but it’s very serious and I was scared. I mean, I suddenly
realized that there is a possibility that I could go blind.”Since there is no known cure for the disease, Cathy chose to look for an alternative treatment. She found a doctor who was familiar with the mysterious methods of a man named Edgar Cayce. Edgar Cayce became famous in the 1920s for diagnosing illnesses, even though he had absolutely no medical training. In his lifetime, Cayce made more than 9,000 diagnoses, or “readings” as he called them, while in a deep, self-induced trance. Even though Edgar Cayce died in 1945, many practitioners still follow his teachings. Some dismiss the cures as mere lucky coincidence. But for those diagnosed with a disease that modern medicine cannot cure, Edgar Cayce’s methods continue to hold out hope.
