Perhaps no other topic bugs this side of the Beauty Brains more than the subject of psychics and psychic readings. That’s why I was outraged when I saw the Heritage Store selling products that were supposedly recommended by Edgar Cayce. If you don’t know (one can only hope) Cayce was a pretty famous psychic in his day and he still has followers.

Psychic approved

What is most maddening is the fact that the company doesn’t even make a good attempt at providing the consumer something special. They clearly just took whatever formula the contract manufacturer gave to them, put it in a standard plastic bottle, slapped a “psychic reader approved” label on it and charged 10 times what it is worth.

They’ve got Aura glow creams & lotions, colloidal silver soap bars, and even psychic reading directed shampoos!

Look at the ingredient list of this Olive Oil shampoo for example.

Water, Cocamide DEA, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Potassium Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate, Sodium Cocoyl Sarcosinate, and Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein Olivate (Olive Oil Glutinate)

It’s all just standard stuff. Nothing special at all. SLS? Sarcosinate? Wheat Protein? Everyone uses those ingredients. Geez, it even has Cocamide DEA in it! No self-respecting shampoo maker would be using anything with DEA in it. Couldn’t they at least have gotten the water blessed by a Shaman or something? Unoriginal formulas are one thing, but a lack of creativity? Inexcusable.

The ironic part is that most of these ingredients weren’t even invented until after Edgar Cayce died. How can a psychic reading recommend ingredients that haven’t been invented yet? I suppose it’s just a mystery that a rational, scientific type like this Left Brain will never understand.

Now, if I could only get the Right Brain to stop consulting a psychic. Ya know, even a broken clock is right two times a day.
