(Jane told me that this morning in hydro her right leg “opened up quite a bit” as she lay on the litter. In fact, this made her slightly off balance on the litter, and she asked for help to be repositioned. There wasn’t any danger. Her arms are looser again, too.

(3:00. I rubbed the flower extract Steve Blumenthal had given Jane last night on her knuckles of the right hand; we’ll use that location as a test site. Tracy didn’t come with Steve. And Steve didn’t ask Jane if he could see me, so I didn’t hear from him.

(I told Jane I wouldn’t mind having Seth comment tomorrow. The idea of a “cure” upset me, if it was available and we weren’t trying it. But then, Seth said Jane doesn’t have arthritis—so that’s what we’ve been going by. I wanted to know what part beliefs played in such diets, that worked, and I wanted to know about the wide variance in human responses. In short, I wanted something from Seth about whether it was worth it, or even necessary, that Jane try this diet—which, after all, would be the latest in the series of schemes I’ve come across in efforts to help her. [The last one was the anti-amoebic medication regime.] And what does it all mean, I asked, if she’s getting better now without any special diet or foods?
