“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There seems to be a drug you are taking into your own system that is going against your system. An occasional thing I believe—having to do with a retention of fluid. Ruburt has no medical vocabulary. Let us see now; you should take those fruits that are strong in vitamin C, but are not acid. You should avoid acid fruits taken in one meal with milk. You should avoid all chocolate in any form. Now this is not forever, merely until the condition vanishes. You should not eat grapefruit now under any circumstances. Cranberry juice however is beneficial. You should avoid aspirin.

Fatty foods should be avoided. You should eat almonds. And watch your intake of sugars. Honey will not bother you. Give me a moment. Now. Symbolically in your case, and opposed to our Jesuit’s case, the retention of fluids has to do with the fear for your position, of refusal to give up, or the fear of giving up, prerogatives.

You should imagine in your spare moments, even driving, that poisonous fluids are disappearing from your system and leaving it free. The fluids represent bitterness that you will not let go of, and so you must tell yourself that your inner self possesses the answers—as it does—that it will guide you... You can therefore afford to let the bitterness go, for the bitterness is your enemy... The fluids are not in themselves poisonous, only their retention that makes them act upon your system.

(Seth was hovering about as John talked. John then said the Metamucil contained dextrose, a sugar, which could lead to fluid retention.
