14. The activities of the Infra-Red are to stimulate the circulation to those structural parts of the body, to loosen - as it were - or to force a better form of circulation in not only the covering of the exterior but interior portions of the bones...

16. At least once a week (but not on the same days the ultra-violet is given) we would apply the Infra-Red ray, but when used screen the ray with the quarter inch crystal of the GREEN glass, so that the rays that penetrate to the structural portions (from which the bone structure produce cells that act in the capacity of the corpuscles themselves) are penetrated with the vibration from the GREEN rather than the red.  This should be given for twenty to thirty minutes, at least forty inches from the body.

2. We would find that, WITH the ash - this will combine most in the system as a resistance by the releasing of oxygen in the system, with that of the ultra-violet, than with the Infra red.  While the red NECESSARY, the variations in the ultra-violet's VIBRATION - even though it be with the exterior, rather than interior activity - is better in the blood, and the releasing of same.

Clarifying Confusion About Carbon Ash Production

The Carbon Ash produced during Cayce’s life and for years after was probably not correctly made.  With today's scientific understanding of Fullerenes it may be possible to solve the mystery surrounding Cayce’s Carbon Ash.

Carbon 60 seems to be identical to what Mr. Cayce described as Carbon Ash.  However, there is one single reading that describes the carbon ash as being white.  Carbon 60 is not white.  It is black. However, when looking at the actual production of this substance, we can clarify some of the confusion.

11. Now, as for Carbon Ash:

12. This is a different product.  This is to be burned with one a cored carbon, one a solid; and burned in an eighty percent (80%) vacuum; only the white Ash.  This would be more expensive, of course; should sell for at least five to ten dollars ($5 to $10 in 1930's) a grain when it is sold, or when it is prepared.  This is for internal conditions such as cancer, or conditions of the stomach where there are ulcerations or cancerous conditions.  We will find that such conditions, if taken in time, will find the closest response through such properties.  Cancer of the uterus or of the womb – these conditions will be found to respond to the Carbon Ash.  But this will require, to be sure, long, long burning - and that which adheres to the glass is that which is to be saved; not the scrapings of the carbon but the actual ASH of same, which is then carrying in same those properties that are effective not only as a radial activity from electrical forces but as the higher vibration that is destructive to conditions that are of the nature such as in cancerous conditions.

To differentiate between the product deposited on the  inside surface of the bell jar and that deposit which fell to the bottom of the jar, Cayce described the finer material as white.  It actually looks whitish through the glass of the jar.  However, when it is collected from the inside walls of the bell jar and seen in direct light, it appears very dark brownish black.  The fineness of the material diffracts the light causing the whitish appearance.  The early researchers may have been misled by the description and adjusted the procedure until a truly whitish substance could be produced.   Several people have produced this mysterious form of carbon ash from the thirties through today.  The following correspondence illustrates some of the problems encountered:

 Dear Miss Huffman:

I am returning herewith file copy of selections from Edgar Cayce readings marked 325 Cancer. It is now twenty years since the last reference to the use of carbon arc light for the production of "carbon Ash".  I suspect that trace elements other than carbon which were present in the carbon electrodes or in the material  used for  the core  of the  cored  electrode which  were responsible for formation of  the white ash.
