(I gave Jane the dosage last night and this morning. This afternoon as I was changing her dressings, the little finger of her left hand began to turn darker as she lay on the bed. She didn’t tell me this or show it to me until I had wheeled her back to the card table. She said her position, lying on her side, had something to do with it. [The irony of it is that her left middle finger looks much better now. Jane wondered if the flower extract had anything to do with the little finger acting up; its color was mildly dark compared to the middle finger’s original dark blue appearance. But if the powder affected the little finger, why hadn’t it also bothered the middle finger?

(Jane tried not to panic. I was flabbergasted and amazed and depressed all at once. At her request I began massaging her back the way Hal had showed me, from the top of her head to the coccyx. It seemed to help a great deal, Jane said. At least the little finger grew no darker. Jane said she felt the same muscular activity in her back, hands, arms and legs that she had when the middle finger began turning color. I massaged her for half an hour. The little finger turned no darker. We also soaked the finger briefly in warm water. Finally I took a nap.

Such a series of tests was inconclusive, to say the least, and we haven’t heard from Dr. K. since seeing Dr. Sobel the following week at the emergency room. I could only think that whatever we were going to succeed in accomplishing in the whole affair—if anything—certainly wasn’t going to be done easily.

(Long pause.) He was reactivating old beliefs with their physical representation in the body. This was an overall situation from head to toe. (Long pause.) It was an excellent decision to trust the body’s activities, to take the opportunity to use the episode as a case in point, a change of heart.

There was some (underlined) connection with Hal’s medicine. Circuits in the body.... (Long pause, leaning to the right, eyes closed.) I purposely wait for such lapses as these to come and go—and again, they do represent the state of the thyroid. Your own help with the massage was excellent, and also very effective.
