(Just as I turned Jane on her side after the session, our neighbor Joe Bumbalo — who is very ill with cancer — called to invite me to share Chinese food and rhubarb pie with him and his wife, Margaret. [...] The food was delicious — until two pieces of chicken became lodged in my throat as I talked. [...]

[...] It included a strong appetite toward stuffing himself with food and drink, and an overall greediness of appetite, even of intellectual and emotional greediness which he has largely overcome.

Ruburt even has a latent gluttonous desire for rich foods that he has conquered. [...]

[...] The personality is becoming stronger and will be able to deal with the problem, as in the past it conquered a gluttony toward food and other elements.

[...] Highly valuable, this is responsible for the beginning consumption of solid food.

[...] This noon she sampled several different foods, to my surprise, some things dietary had sent up on her tray for me, at the request of Georgia. [...]

Changing beliefs will automatically correct any imbalance in the system, and certain foods for example will no longer “cause” a given condition. In most cases however it is the belief in the system that works, not the elimination of the foods.

I suggest, if he wants to, that he use the pendulum, which is utilizing his own body’s knowledge, asking if any foods upset him. [...]

[...] His rather long letter dealt with Dr. Childers’ nightshade diet for arthritis; the writer claimed he had a close friend who had recovered completely from rheumatoid arthritis that had plagued him since childhood, by following this diet—no potatoes, paprika [peppers], tomatoes, and a few other common foods of the nightshade family. [...]

[...] [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? [...]

[...] We do eat fried foods, of course, but decided we could cut down on these.

(I didn’t eat lunch because Lynn had arranged a surprise birthday party for one of the nurses, and she invited me to share in the food. [...] The food was delicious. [...]

(The crew at the hospital did have a birthday party for me, and even though I knew what they were up to, it was still a delightful surprise, what with their obvious good will and cheers, the cards, and the food — more than we could eat, at least Jane and I. Mary, the head nurse, made the chocolate cake with chocolate icing. [...]

(I had a distinctly full feeling along about 2:30, and we still had food left over. [...]

[...] Gus, the friendly old Shetland sheepdog who belonged to our neighbors across the street, came up to the storm door, looking for the handful of dry food I give him each morning when I scatter birdseed in the driveway. Gus was on the other side of the door, on the screened-in back porch, as he should be — only then I saw to my amazement that he was starting to walk through the glass panel in his eagerness to get to the food. [...]

[...] The dog’s desire for food led him to walk magically through the door, for the desires of the natural creature are satisfied (pause) with an ease that has nothing to do with your ideas of work. [...]

[...] Gus, the neighbors’ dog, in an intense desire to get the food Rob holds, walks right through the glass door — signifying the importance of desire in bringing about the magical satisfaction of needs. [...]

[...] John said they have enough food to feed me for a week, after it’s all over. [...]

[...] I routed out a number of tall cans of cat food of various brands that had been hidden at the back of the shelf, behind the other stuff. The cat foods were of various brands, the labels brightly colored. [...]

[...] I’d planned to go food shopping. [...]

I will on a practical level shortly have a few things to say concerning foods and vitamins that I hope will be of benefit. [...]

(As for the food and vitamin material, I’ve become less and less insistent that Jane adhere to any kind of regular program, since I think she continues to show that she’s not really sold on such therapy. [...]

(4:21.) They may also suffer with stomach difficulties, many being overly fond of extremely spicy foods. [...]

(She ate a much better lunch than usual, including a little solid food. [...]

[...] When we moved in to our present apartment, the kitchen held a stove and a small refrigerator that didn’t begin to hold all our food. We got a larger one for foods that we didn’t use every day, and this second refrigerator I put in our huge bathroom, a great old-fashioned tiled room that’s easily five times as large as the kitchen. [...]

[...] He made a few kindly but definite statements to the effect that we should know better, and suggested that the appliance be moved into the kitchen, where it would hold all our refrigerated food. [...]

He is afraid of overbuying at the grocery store, of wasting food. [...]

[...] It is good to eat, and each creature seeks food. [...]

[...] Animals killed quickly and cleanly make better food.

[...] The food is not basically related, except as it reflects other issues (as I told Jane this afternoon). Those are relatively shallow, but do operate—that certain foods are good for the body and others are not—that heart disease is connected with cholesterol and dairy products, while skim milk is innocent.
