One remark, I did not mean to imply that I had any hand at all in the healing process to which I referred earlier. My methods are my methods, and I do not believe in shortcuts.

For the problem must be solved now or later. It is possible that the relief of symptoms will lead to psychological and spiritual regeneration, in which case it is doubly and triply beneficial.
