Ah, another example.
My wife has been trying to get her mother to change her diet and improve her health. She has been taking stool softeners for quite some time, has extreme sensitivities to chemicals and fragrances. For the last couple years her biggest complaint has been stomach pain, problems with bowel movements, going for days without a movement. Also regular complaints of inability to lose weight.
She has ignored all advice from my wife, ignored any of the books sent to her, and yet when someone gives her a mainstream book with a name she recognizes she reads it, and changes her diet. 21 days ago.
My wife told her the likely culprits were wheat and dairy. Her first changes from the book were to drop meat and dairy. She says she has lost interest in meat, but she has always had an addiction to dairy, and would never give it up.
She has regular bowel movements now, and has said that she feels so good now that she is willing to give up her dairy addiction in order to retain the "good feeling". Of course her fundamentalist "handler" is harassing her about meat, saying that it is very important for her health, and that there is no way for her to get protein without it.
It seems that belief in the awesomeness of dairy did not do what she wanted. Or, was it just belief in the book that gave back some of her health? Why would the recent belief in a book override her belief in dairy? Why did her salivating not transmute or assimilate as some believe it would?
Is transmutation by belief only applicable to adepts?
