CAYCE QUOTE ON FORMULA 369-12

(Q)  Is the Simmons Laxative which I took, the same as Simmons Liver Regulator recommended in reading [369-11 on 8/4/34]?
(A)  Not exactly the same; this was made to take the place of the Liver Regulator and to meet some requirements that were necessary.  Where this is given for anyone, the better preparation would be to make it out of the Ragweed, which is the basis of same - either the green (but dry same) or the dry, which may be preserved or bought in bulk, and made in the form of a tea - in this manner (this isn't for this body in the present - may be necessary later; but we have given those things necessary for this particular body in the present), and in this proportion:
    To 8 ounces distilled water add 3 drams dried Ragweed.  Reduce to 6 ounces, or reduce to the quantity then it is necessary to add even more water to make 6 ounces.  Then add a preservative, which would be 1 ounce of grain alcohol.
    And you have better than Simmons Liver Regulator for activity on the liver!  This for anyone!  This is the BEST of the vegetable compounds for activities of the liver.  Of course, if made commercially we would add some few other things to it.  [See 562-1 on 5/29/34.]  [5/11/39 See 1880-1 not recommending Simmons, but Ragweed.  See also 1880-1 Reports in re Simmons and Ragweed or Ambrosia.  Some years later the Simmons Liver Regulator went off the market, but not during Edgar Cayce's lifetime.]
