Breast catarrh – medical advice
2nd February 1848
[1] Tell the wife of Ans. H.-W. what I say to her and thus speak:
[2] Listen, My dear daughter Elisabetha! You don't have to be afraid of your slight breast ailment! Because see, there is not as much about it as you think, since your doctor has made a look of concern about it!
[3] The doctors make dubious expressions about slight bodily evils so that, if the evil disappears more by itself than with the help of the doctor, they can say: “There you see! I have saved this and that from death!” But they say this quite naturally for the reason that they gain more confidence and thus more customers.
[4] And see, one doctor is like another! Talk to one person or to thousands, everyone will advertise himself to you as a "lifesaver", just as he has completely helped this and that one, whom all doctors have already given up with, through a means known only to him and that in the shortest possible time.
[5] But some physicians often make a lot of noise out of a small evil in order to force the patient to follow their instructions exactly, whereby the patient is then also appointed to pay the physician more generously, if the latter has freed him from an evil which would otherwise have infallibly – i.e. according to the physician – destroyed him.
[6] But just as almost all doctors are made up with very few exceptions, so is also yours who, through experience, has some advantages over other, younger doctors, but looks to doctors in all other medical policies like as one eye sees the other.
[7] But I am telling you this because you should not take the words of a doctor as a truth signed by Me and should believe Me more than a doctor who would always rather have you sick for longer than briefly. Do you understand that?
[8] But your lump is nothing but a cold, i.e. a slight catarrh of the mammary gland, which has only developed to it’s present consistency mainly due to unsuitable medication.
[9] But now keep yourself warm, and cover your breast with warm linseed poured out several times a day, and leave such simple plasters on your breast even through the night. Drink a good blood- cleansing tea in the morning and in the evening! Abstain from too sour food and drinks! Above all, however, do not be afraid and trust Me firmly, so your evil will soon be gone. Take a light laxative now and then, about every fortnight during the winter moons, so that you will also be freed from your sore throat.
[10] But you must always trust Me more than the remedies that I have advised you here – otherwise they would be of little or no use to you. Because all herbs only get their full healing power through Me.
[11] But mainly, as I said, you must not be anxious. Then I will help you and make your body completely healthy again, as I have already made it healthy many times. Be fully assured in My Name I, the true doctor, tell you that. Amen. Amen. Amen.
