Cayce on the Many Uses of Glyco-Thymoline
Hi Friends,
I've been thinking about Glyco Thymoline again recently. I originally used this as a mouthwash. Cayce also recommended Glyco for its antiseptic properties. This was covered in a previous newsletter: Cayce's Intestinal Antiseptic - for 'rheumatism', etc (January 2022).
There are other mouthwashes - by the ARE's "Official Supplier" and others - that are similar to Glyco-Thymoline. After that email I received a couple responses from people sharing their preference for genuine Glyco-Thymoline: it's is much better on their sunburns than the 'knock-offs', etc. (I used this feedback to edit the archive linked above.)
Glyco-Thymoline was originally formulated as an eye rinse. This is an antique branded eye cup:
My mom had itchy red eyes last summer. I told her about using Glyco as an eye rinse: she thought it absurd to use "mouthwash" on her eyes. But she was miserable, and decided to experiment with putting Glyco-Thymoline on a piece of cotton. She held the Glyco-moistened cotton to her eyelid, and found it provided rapid relief. The standard dilution to use Glyco Thymoline as an eye rinse is 50% Glyco, 50% water.
Cayce often recommended Glyco-Thymoline as an intestinal antiseptic. This was administered by drinking drops in water and as the final rinse for enemas and colonics (1 tablespoon in 1 quart of water).
Reading recipient #257 got hundreds of readings from Edgar Cayce, starting in 1925. Readings [257-217], [257-238], [257-242] and [257-247] mentioned using drops of Glyco-Thymoline in water for intestinal health:
15. Now, as to physical activities, - it has been indicated that there should be taken certain elements; as the Saffron Tea, as well as the Elm, that would be most efficacious in aiding the system to meet the conditions through the soft tissue, the gastric flow through the intestinal system.
16. Also add, now, this; and do not do this spasmodically, else it will be more harmful than helpful, but do it consistently, and at a given time each day:
17. Before retiring at night take three to five drops of Glyco-Thymoline in half a glass of water; and of mornings - AFTER the meal is eaten - take three to five drops in half a glass of water. Keep this up until sufficient has been taken into the system in this manner that the odor of same may be detected in the stool, or the gas from the body. Then, leave off, - and after a couple of weeks or so, repeat this again.

A year and a half later, #257 was again told to take drops of Glyco Thymoline in water to help with gas:
(Q) Why does gas form and make such a loud noise or discharge?
(A) This is the natural effect of any character of inflammation in the lower intestinal tract.
At least once a day take, for this, three to five drops of Glyco-Thymoline in water.
It may be well occasionally also to use this in the enema to clean or clear the rectal area; the proportions being a tablespoonful to a quart and a half of water.
[257-238] M 48. 5th day of November, 1941
Some readings recommended packs of Glyco-Thymoline for Arthritis:
11. Do this, and then each day - of evening - bind at least four times around the knee (the left knee) a strip of cotton cloth well saturated with Glyco-Thymoline. Also use at least three thicknesses to the lumbar and sacral axis.
12. Occasionally - but not every day, - perhaps every other day, apply such a pack also to the feet.
13. Let these remain on for at least an hour. The body will rest better, and it will respond more to the treatments as the massages are given.

Last week I filmed a video about the difference between the original Glyco Thymoline and the "Clear Menthol Mint" version: https://youtu.be/fsaaGdngFAA (1 minute 52 seconds). Carmine is the ingredient that provides the red coloring in original Glyco Thymoline. This pigment is extracted from a variety of insects. Clear Glyco Thymoline is exactly the same product as Original Glyco Thymoline, it just doesn't have the pigment.
The Biotech industry has figured out how to program bacteria to produce Carmine pigment: Carminic Acid: Scientists Are Making Cochineal, a Red Dye From Bugs, in the Lab (Smithsonian Mag). I think synthetic carmine is probably just as safe as the beetle-derived carmine, and I'd definitely prefer synthetic carmine over Red #40. (As far as I know, the Glyco Thymoline manufacturer is still using beetle-derived Carmine for its red formula.)
Lots of companies sell the red version of Glyco Thymoline on Amazon. If you order a bottle of Clear Glyco-Thymoline from me, I include a plastic pipet and a 2-ounce (60mL) dropper bottle - the pipet for dispensing drops, and the dropper bottle for mixing:
