Edgar Cayce's Scleroderma Treatment: Case Studies
CASE STUDY #1: MARGIE
Summary
A 13 year old girl suffering from scleroderma with morphea (lesions on the skin) achieved reduction of symptoms within one month of starting a therapy recommended by Edgar Cayce and continued gradual improvement during a three year follow-up period.
Background
Margie was a 13 year old girl who first came to the A.R.E. Clinic in October, 1980, with a diagnosis of scleroderma with morphea. Previous treatment by a dermatologist and family physician failed to provide results. Margie's parents were alarmed by the poor prognosis given for this progressively debilitating illnessan 80% chance of death within ten yearsand were anxious to find help for their daughter.
Medical History
In May, 1979, Margie's mother noticed a tiny spot on the skin overlying her upper breastbone. As it looked like ringworm, they applied some anti-fungal ointment and promptly forgot about it. In August, it was still present and had enlarged. Their family physician discovered a similar lesion on her back and agreed that it was fungal in origin. She did not respond to the medication he prescribed. Her hands became very sore, swollen, cracked, and bleeding.
In September, he referred her to a dermatologist who biopsied the lesion on her back and diagnosed morphea. He told them "it wasn't leprosy and it wasn't cancer, but it wasn't something you'd want for Christmas either." He gave her a dry skin cream for her hands and recommended vitamin E to slow down the morphea. Margie began to feel sick, fatigued, and complained of headaches and backaches often. Both hands and feet became affected.

Scleroderma
Scleroderma is one of a group of chronic autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosis and Sjögren's syndrome. These diseases form a spectrum, and feature various combinations of the same set of symptoms. Skin thickening is the hallmark of the disease. Traditionally, the term "scleroderma" has encompassed two groups: "localised scleroderma", where problems are confined to the skin, and "systemic sclerosis", where internal organs and vessels are involved as well as the skin.
Localised Scleroderma
Localised scleroderma includes a heterogeneous group of conditions characterised by circumscribed, patchy, or linear scleroderma without the typical serological and visceral manifestations of systemic sclerosis (see below). This condition should not be confused with limited cutaneous scleroderma (CREST), which is a systemic variety of scleroderma. Localised scleroderma primarily affects children and young adults, especially females.
Morphoea
Localised scleroderma is characterised by one or more erythematous or violaceous areas of the skin which evolve to become sclerotic and waxy. Plaques may grow during the active phase up to several centimetres in diameter with violaceous inflammatory borders, before spontaneously softening after several months to a few years.

14. Kids Get Scleroderma Too!!!
Organization that is working to provide educational programs about JSD, and to help children and their families to gain a better understanding.
http://www.jsdn.org
A Message From Kathy... If you are looking for emotional reassurance, look no further! You will find it here with the JSDN! Our network is set in a positive environment. We are keeping our literature updated to ensure that families are provided with the best coverage on JSD. Most of all we know what every parent is going through having a child diagnosed with JSD. I have a son, BJ, who was diagnosed with JSD in August 1996. Living with JSD can be exhausting mentally and physically for both of us with trips to the pediatric rheumatologist, blood tests, PT/OT. Sometimes it is stressful just getting your child to take their medication. It is a helpless feeling not knowing what to do for your child. We are here to help you as much as we can for each and every one of you. We may not be close by, but we are a phone call or email away when you need us. Please feel free to call or email us at anytime to let us know what we can do for you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Scleroderma, which literally means "hard skin," can cause thickening and tightening of the skin, as well as serious damage to internal organs including the lungs, heart, kidneys, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract. It is often life-threatening. Scleroderma occurs three to four times more often in women than in men.
