The heart is the central organ of the body, and if it begins to manifest distress, there is trouble for the whole body. A great deal of what passes for heart trouble is actually mental distress. A worried or frightened attitude of mind may cause the heart to be greatly over-worked. If you can get the person to do a few sensible out-door exercises and stop sitting in a bad position etc, you will have begun to achieve something. One of my happiest experiences with heart trouble was with a lawyer whose brother was a Harley Street specialist. His doctor had told him that he must stop golf and retire from work because of angina. He enjoyed his golf and his work and was reluctant to take that advice. So off he went to London to get his brother’s opinion. This led to visits to one or two of his brothers colleagues. All had confirmed the diagnosis and corroborated the doctor’s advice.

At the end of our interview he said, "I do not think I could do what you advise, but I will get in touch with my brother". So he wired his brother, "A naturopath in Edinburgh thinks he can cure me, what do you advise?" and by return he had this message from his brother, "By all means, place yourself in his hands. He must know more than all the Harley Street specialists put together."

Despite this sarcasm he took up our treatment and followed instructions with growing enthusiasm. At the end of three months he was satisfied. Once again he was able to play golf and walk up hills without distress. Only then did he acknowledge his brother’s wire with a two word message of his own. It read, "He does!"

But I did not cure him; he did that for himself when, biologically, he began to behave more reasonably.
