“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Then came the blows. At 3:20 a nurse came in to put a heparin lock in Jane’s right forearm. The lock is a stable opening in a vein for medication: Jane was to go on antibiotics. No sooner did we find that out than one of the two aides returned to take more blood — they “want all they can get,” Jane swore. The aide apologized. “I’d refuse to take the antibiotic,” Jane said, “if it wouldn’t raise such a fuss.” I didn’t know how to respond. It seemed that once again the body’s natural defense mechanisms were being interfered with, according to Seth — but then, why were we here to begin with? I didn’t want to think about it. “I trust my body a hell of a lot more than I do that antibiotic,” Jane said. Judy came in and told us Jeff hadn’t ordered the antibiotic — his wife, Olivia, who is also a doctor, had.

Their answer, of course, is antibiotics. As long as Ruburt’s attitude is good the antibiotics will do no harm, and will provide an explanation as the conditions are cleared. It is, of course, unfortunate that Ruburt is in that environment, but these are definitely indications of the body’s own healing processes. It will help you both to reread the passages for Day 1 or Day 2, so that you can remind yourselves of those vital issues.

(3:36. After the nurse had inserted the heparin lock, Jane went back to reading the session. She did considerably better as we waited for the antibiotic. I felt discouraged. Her head was stuffy again.

(4:38. Jane was ready for me to turn her on her side by then. By 4:53 I’d just finished massaging her with Oil of Olay when Linda, the RN, came in with the antibiotic. She said it was “a broad spectrum drug” that could kill many germs. Gentamicin 60 mg. in 50 ml NS. She said it would take Jane perhaps half an hour to take it all in, and that afterward Jane would be given a small amount of heparin, which would keep the lock open for future doses. Jane is to get the drug every eight hours. She swore again. “But you’ve got a fever,” Linda said gently. She agreed that some people are allergic to the medication — “there are always side effects.”

[...] Yet Jane doesn’t know whether she received a dose of the antibiotic during the night while she may have slept.

[...] Then she hooked Jane up to a new bag of Gentamicin 40 mg., the antibiotic. [...]

[...] The antibiotic was all taken in by Jane; I’d seen it still dripping a few minutes ago. [...]

[...] Jane tried again to read the session, but couldn’t. At 3:10 I started to read it to her when Mary Jean came in to check the flow of the antibiotic. [...] This was an antibiotic for a bladder infection. [...]

[...] He took her off the antibiotic, and wants her to take extra vitamin C to get her urine even more on the acid side. [...]

[...] Then added, “Those antibiotics must have done you a lot of good.” Jane laughed and said, “Phyllis I haven’t had any antibiotics for months. [...]

[...] Carla took her temperature — 98.8. Five minutes later Penny hooked her up to another dose of antibiotic. [...]

[...] “Oh Jesus,” Jane muttered, but said little else, beyond saying that she didn’t want antibiotics. [...]

[...] “So if you followed his stuff,” I said after supper, when I was getting ready to leave, “you wouldn’t have taken the antibiotics, and the body would have taken care of itself.” [...]

[...] Her temperature is normal, and she’s down to the one antibiotic, Bactrim. [...]

[...] When I got there at 1:10 this noon a new nurse—a “floater”—was hooking Jane up to her antibiotic, Kefzol. [...]

(Then there followed the round of infections, the antibiotics, the broken leg opening up, and so forth, and to me these meant that she had little hope herself. [...]

[...] She is still on the two antibiotics, Gentamicin and Bactrim. [...]

[...] Jeff doesn’t suggest antibiotics at this time, but told me that the ulcers on Jane’s right knee and left hand won’t heal themselves, and that the new swelling on the top of her right shoulder may turn into another such area. [...]

[...] On at least a couple of days she didn’t take the antibiotic at all. [...]

(Jane is off the Kefzol, the antibiotic Fred Kardon had her on after she broke her right leg. [...]

[...] Instead of seeing a dentist she visited our doctor next door; he put her on a series of antibiotics that lasted for four days, on into the month of June 1964. [...]

[...] The antibiotics serve as a physical reinforcement, you see, since the condition now appears in physical terms.
