Name: Mark Haight
Date:
8/09/79
Address: 506 S. Hampton Ave.
City, State: Orlando, Florida 32803
Sex: M
Age: 24
Wt.: 190 lbs.
B.P.: Normal
Diagnosis: Pattern Male Baldness
Pertinent Past History: My lost his hair in his mid 30's
and is now almost completely bald on top of his head. Older
brother (26) also severe hair loss - top of head. Younger
brother (20) also losing hair.
History of Present Illness and Treatment: My hair began
to fall out around age 23 or 24, and had been falling
out steadily until the Cayce treatment. I tried no
other treatment before or after the Cayce treatment.
Abnormal Physical Findings: Hair was receding badly in front
(both sides) and there was a "circle" of thinning hair about
1 1/2 to 2 inches on the top back of the scalp. There was no
actual completely bald spot as of the time I began treatment
(but I was getting there fast).
Total Treatment Program: Please see attached sheets.
Patient Cooperation: (X) Excellent ( ) Good ( ) Poor
( ) None at all
Summary of Results (subjective, objective): In 3 1/2 to 4
months it became obvious that my hair was getting thicker.
My sister-in-law who is a beautician and cuts my hair (and
examines my scalp) says that I have got lots of hair coming
back in (she can see the shorter hairs growing back in). The
hair in front has thickened faster than the hair on the top
in back of the scalp (but the hair in back WAS the thinnest
to begin with). (More on attached sheets).
BALDNESS
MEDICAL REPORT FORM
MARK HAIGHT
My "plan" to cure my baldness followed this Edgar Cayce
regimen:
I. I took Atomidine internally (one drop in a glass of water)
in the morning (at least 30 minutes before I ate anything)
five mornings in a row.
Then on one of the following five days I would massage pure
crude oil into my scalp (only ONE time during the five days
- usually in the evening), using the electrically driven
vibrator with suction cup applicator suggested by E. Cayce.
(I would do this for 45 minutes to 1 hour. I would cleanse
the scalp afterwards with the 20% alcohol solution advised by
Cayce.)
After the five days had passed, I would take Atomidine again
for five days as described above.
And then again, once in the five days following I would
massage the scalp with the pure crude oil, using the vibrator
(45 minutes to 1 hour), then cleansing with the 20% alcohol
solution.
THEN I WOULD REST FOR TWO WEEKS.
Then I would repeat the whole above process again.
NOTE: The crude oil is MESSY but you get used to it.
II. EXERCISES
Twice each day (once in the morning and once at night) I
would perform the Edgar Cayce (1) head and neck exercise,
(2) the catcrawl exercise - much stretching trying to touch
the feet to the head or behind the top of the head, if I
could (10 tries with each foot), and (3) the torso circle
exercise - (15 or so rotations with each hip). All of these
[exercises] are described as promoting glandular activity and
they are all described in Dr. Reilly's book (Edgar Cayce's
Handbook to Health Through Drugless Therapy).
III. DIET
(Aside from what I DID eat, I TOTALLY avoided sweets and any
kind of alcoholic beverages.)
MORNINGS
I would eat some kind of whole wheat, whether it be cereal or
bread. When I ate whole wheat bread, I would eat pure peanut
butter with it. (I avoided milk in cereal, opting for water
because Dr. Reilly said that milk is constipating and not
good for athletes who need wind. I am a daily runner and a
basketball player, so I avoided milk.) All I ate was some
kind of whole wheat and that was it.
MID-MORNINGS
I would drink some kind of citrus juice, usually orange or
grapefruit. (I would mix it with lemon or lime juice as
described by Dr. Reilly and Edgar Cayce.)
NOON:
I would eat a LARGE salad WITH GELATIN. The salad would
include lettuce, celery, lots of carrots, tomatoes, onions,
radishes (and sometimes green peppers, green beans, squash,
or beets.) About 20 minutes to 1/2 hour before eating the
salad I would eat a packet of gelatin (Knox) and wash it down
with pure Welch's grape juice (both are supposed to help the
body assimilate the salad.)
NIGHT:
I would eat another LARGE salad consisting of the items
mentioned above (also preceded by the grape juice and
gelatin.) I would also eat 3 egg yolks from large eggs (only
the yolks) and I would eat the peelings from at least one
Irish potato (Cayce only advised this 3 or 4 times a week,
but I did it nightly anyway). I would also supplement the
salad with at least one protein source such as yogurt or
white meats (turkey, chicken or fish). At least twice a week
I tried to have some kind of seafood such as tuna or shrimp.
These I always ate at the evening meal supplementing the
salad.
IV. SHAMPOO
I used Packer's Pine Tar shampoo (once a day in the morning
during my shower). I used this in "cake" form as well as
the shampoo form. (I really think that the soap in cake form
works BETTER than the shampoo, but that's just my opinion.)
V. MASSAGE
Almost every night (after exercising) before turning in, I
would massage my scalp all over either with the fingertips
or with the electric vibrator (attempting to increase
circulation to the scalp).
Also, EVERY morning after getting out of the shower I would
apply Listerine to the deeply receded portions of the scalp
and the front of the forehead. (Cayce only advised this 3 or
4 times a week, but I did it every day.)
VI. ENEMAS
Cayce advised these at least once a month, but I did them
once a week, using an enema bag with a colon tube attached
instead. Cayce also advised that the water be taken in and
expelled three times (twice laying first on right side and
on left side with soda and salt, and once [this time on all
four] with Glyco-Thymoline.
I examined the waters expelled after three times like this
and found that they were still fairly "polluted," so I did
the Cayce enema suggestion THREE times in succession (or
9 times - taking in water and expelling it.) By the 8th
or 9th water, my system as CLEAN (the water expelled was
nearly clear.)
I strongly advise this part of the Cayce remedy - keep up the
enemas until the water expelled is clear. It's definitely
NO FUN. I readily admit this, but it will only take about
an hour and a half a week (or a month, depending on how
often you do it) to really cleanse yourself.
This concludes my total treatment plan.
Let me add that for the first month or so this is all (as a
total plan) strange to adjust to, but once it becomes a habit
it doesn't take very much time. It really isn't very hard
and anyone who is REALLY serious about his/her hair won't
mind it very much. You just have to believe that you're
doing the best possible thing you can for yourself, and
you WILL see results.
RESULTS
The most obvious results are these. Before my hair started
falling out at all, I ALWAYS parted my hair in the middle and
had shoulder length curly hair. (My hair was also very light
brown with shades of red and even blonde in it.) My hair had
gotten so bad that a year ago I had to part the hair on the
side to try to comb over and hid the thin spots. I had cut
my bangs (which were formerly about to my nose) to about an
inch above my eyebrows, and I was having to clip them shorter
and shorter as time passed and the hair got thinner. ALSO,
my hair was losing a lot of its luster and it was turning a
very dark brown - all of the red and blonde and light brown
hair was nowhere to be seen.
After 5 1/2 months of the Cayce plan, I have been able to
grow my bangs back out to the eyebrows. I can easily part my
hair down the middle again and the reddish blonde lightness
is returning to my hair. What more can I ask? I KNOW that
as more time passes the hair will only get thicker and better
looking. (Cayce said to give roughly 6 to 8 months to see
results, so I've still got almost another 3 months to go to
see how "complete" my results may REALLY be.) But I am happy
with the results now, even if nothing else ever happens. It
was worth every bit of time, effort, discipline, and money I
put into it.
