Mr. Cayce also said this ash would have specific properties.  It would release oxygen when exposed to high intensity light.  The carbon would be rapidly taken up by the body.  The light source prescribed could be an ultra- violet lamp or an infra-red lamp.  He was very specific about the ultra-violet lamp which was to be used.  A mercury quartz lamp was the only type suitable.  He also insisted that this light be filtered through specific type of green glass.

 6. But as we find, if there would be used rather the ultra-violet with the projection of green glass between the ultra-violet and the body, it would be more helpful to this body-force.

 Carbon, burned with a core and with a solid, produce - in the partial vacuum in which burned - an ash. This the ash referred to.  We find then, this the product.  The carbon in its normalcy, or as reduced, to be used as the carrier, and the oxygen of the air in combination with the other elements of the air, creating then an   entirely different element, that is so purified, and clarified, that the carbon and oxygen is absorbed in HUMAN body when applied to same?  That is this ash, see?

 The activities of the medicated ash are to release in the system more oxygen, as will CLARIFY the system - and the activity of the ultra-violet upon the system, with the effects or the carbon as created in system through the medicated ash, will make for THIS activity in the system.

 11. We would also, at least twice each week, take internally those properties found in the Carbon Ash [Animated Ash].  This is to release more oxygen, that will be effective upon the circulation as related to the distribution through the activity of the pulmonary circulation; that is, the heart's activity, the lung's activity, so that we will immediately see a variation in the character of the breath that may be thrown off with the use of this.

12. On the days the Ash is taken, thirty to forty minutes after the dose is taken there would be applied the ultra-violet ray.  This should be applied to the solar plexus area in the cerebra-spinal system, or between the brachial plexus and lumbar plexus, so that the greater centralization of the ray is upon the solar plexus area; for it is in distance half way between.

Over the years a few people attempted to make the ash.  Some spectrographic analyses were conducted in order to find out what was so special about this ash.  No one had an answer.  Why did Mr. Cayce insist on a mercury vapor ultra-violet lamp and the use of green glass as a filter?
