--Glyco Thymoline--

Hi #9507,

Your question: Is GlycoThymoline (GT) good for alkalizing the body? GT was recommended by Edgar Cayce.

Answer: Let us consider 1st what cayce had to say about Alkalizing:

The diet should be more body-building, that is, contain less of the acid foods and more of the alkaline reacting foods... Keep closer to the alkaline diet; using fruits, berries, and vegetables - particularly those carrying iron, silicon, phosphorus, and the like. (480-1)

As indicated, keep the tendency toward alkalinity in the diet. This does not mean there should never be any acid-forming foods in the diet - for over-alkalinity is much more harmful than a little tendency toward acidity occasionally. But remember that there are tendencies in this system toward cold and congestion... and cold cannot, does not exist in alkalines. (808-1)

[take] 3 drops of Glyco Thymoline in water before retiring at night..... the Glyco Thymoline acts as an intestinal antiseptic of an alkaline nature. (3104-1)

. take small quantities - 8 to 10 drops - of an intestinal antiseptic, such as seen in that of Glyco, or that as is found in any of these that are of alkaline reaction. Such as may be seen in forms of those of the pepsins, that keep the system the more alkaline in the stomach's reaction. (99-5)

The key words here seem to be 'acts as an intestinal antiseptic of an alkaline nature.' In fact, the foregoing statement, either direct or paraphrased, appears in 76% of the Readings studied which prescribed internally administered Glyco Thymoline.


So, if one can come to understand what cayce was talking about, his 1st suggestion was that of learning to eat foods, which would provide the (as I suggest a more Alkaline Lymphatic Fluids), body the ability to Cause it's self to come more to the Alkaline side, which is different than the stomach also being Alkaline !

For within the stomach may be where the action of the stomach Acids are needed to Cause Reaction with the Base of Alkaline Minerals to Cause this ability of the Lymphatic Fluids to thus become more Alkaline !

Now to another reading of cayce: Use an alkalizer for the alimentary canal. Take 3 - 4 drops of Glyco Thymoline internally in a little water each day. Do this for a period sufficient to get the odor of Glyco Thymoline in the stool. This will purify the whole of the alimentary canal and create an alkaline reaction through the lower portions of the alimentary canal. (1807-3)


So, now in reviewing this, cayce was referenceing the use of using glyco thymoline as an Anti-septic(and anti-septic is something which "KILLS" Bacteria)

As I do not believe in "KILLING" the Digestive Bacteria, but instead, learning to supply the Digestive system with the proper foods , so that the Good Digestive bacteria may Grow and be Healthy, thus getting rid of the Bad Bacteria(which causes Putrification) !

So, I would not suggest the use of Glyco Thymoline for internal use !
