“A Head Nurse’s Doubts”
Medical Science Short Accounts

     I would like to relate the account of a woman who took the introductory course several years ago when we were operating under the name of Japan Purification Therapy. She had been the head of nurses of a tuberculosis sanatorium attached to an army hospital. She had had many patients under her care, and most of them had gradually gotten worse, but among those whose condition had deteriorated and had died, there was one young officer who had recovered. In spite of the fact that all the patients strictly followed the military doctors’ instructions, their progress had not been good. But this young officer did not follow his doctor’s orders. In spite of the fact that he had been told to maintain absolute rest, he was hardly ever in his bed. He only slipped into bed when the doctor came by on his rounds, and no matter how much the nurse had cautioned the young man, he did not follow directions. But, strangely enough, his progress was very good. The nurse pondered the situation, but she could not figure it out. Her doubts deepened when the young officer completely recovered and was discharged from the hospital. For several years, the doubts gnawed at the back of her mind, but I remember her telling me that she was happy to find that the doubts she had long held were dispelled in an instant when she heard about the principles of our healing method.
