Edgar Cayce was a Psychic and Healer that was active from about 1910-1940. He was one of the earliest forefathers of contemporary alternative medicine in the United States, merging eastern and western ideas of healing, self care, and philosophy. Most of of his wisdom was ascertained through psychic states, in which he would be put under hypnosis and then access the "collective conciseness." In these sleeping hypnosis states an assistant would pose questions which he would answer while channeling this psychic wisdom.
The Whole Body
The concept of "holism," as it pertains to health and healing, is based on the belief that there is more to a person than just the physical body. Therefore, health and healing involve more than just the physical/biological dimension of experience. In other words, the "whole" person is taken into consideration.

Criticism:
Cayce and his ideas have undergone lots of criticism and skepticism. Especially regarding some of his more abstract theories, like the belief in fairies and demons, his actual psychic ability has been called into question. He has been accused of not actually drawing from psychic power, but using this hand and puppet act to give remedies that were actually rooted in his own research of folk traditions and eastern medicine. While Cayce came from a devote Southern Baptist background, he also did extensive research in eastern philosophy and healing, which were more regularly referenced regularly in his readings. As his readings have aged, some of the more abstract theories have proved rather fallible, but his holistic healing methods have emerged in many other counter-culture health and wellness movements through out the world. His theories now offer an alternative model for how individuals can choose care of their own bodies and minds.
