Edgar Cayce had the extraordinary  ability to put himself into a trance and as he was loosing consciousness, if a suggestion was made, he could send his mind to gather amazing information.  Not only could he go back in time, but also out into the cosmos and inward down to the molecular level.  His concern was to help people, especially with their health issues.

On March 22nd 1928, Edgar Cayce was reading for a woman who had cancer.  He suggested that she use a substance he called “Carbon Dust” and even gave instructions for making it.

7. Over the affected parts, well were those properties of the dust of carbon sprinkled - for this would hinder the spreading of the condition in face, and would ease the body.  Carbon dust - that as accumulates from the positive and negative carbon, as electric lights or lamps are burned.  Not those as are of the mercury vapor, but of carbon joined together - the ash from same - will act as an alternative for the bringing together of tissue.

Over a period time, while in a trance, he became more specific as to the preparation of this carbon.  The carbon rods of the electric arc lamp were to be placed in a vacuum, not a deep vacuum, but he indicated the pressure should be a 75% to 83% vacuum.  The ash was to be collected from the sides of a glass globe placed over the carbon rods.  Only that which vaporized and then condensed on the globe would be collected.  He called this substance "Carbon Ash".

Use the carbon lamp that is ordinarily, or has ordinarily been used ...as a search light.  Use at least a globe ten inches in diameter over same.  Closed only, as seen, in the lower end - and then only as sets in holder, making a vacuum of one-fourth or three-fourths vacuum, as given - that is, three-fourths of the hole are open, see? and the ash is that as condensed from burning of carbon - one solid, one cored - in this light, from the air and carbon.  Not carbon as BURNED, see? for this carbon itself that is raked off, scraped off, is of such nature as to mean other elements in the human body - but the ash as condensed in the glass or crock globe, see?  Give small quantities at the time.  Now, for this particular condition - while this is being prepared (and be sure it's prepared properly before given), we would still use those applications of the ultra violet ray, see?
