In Deep Canyon

It took nearly a year of these antibiotics to kill off all the little spirochetes, but we made it together. Not without damage, I am sorry to say. I got a damaged heart out of it and Billy got damaged joints. He had a hard time walking. So I gave him some Scientology assists.There are some that don't require the person you are assisting to speak Human. Speaking Dog is quite good enough. I got some of these assists myself, including the ones where you need to speak Human. Both of us got a lot out of them.

One of them was a "Nerve Assist". He liked it. Used to come up to me and ask for his Nerve Assist several times a day. I speak fluent Dog, by which I mean I can see the pictures, so I knew what he wanted and would give him one. During the assist, his body would twist into a pretzel as the nervous energy was bleeding off, but as we continued, he would gradually straighten out, his posture would become normal and comfortable, and finally he'd wag his tail.

On The North Fork Trail

I told the doctors at the University of California, thinking they would be glad to know of a treatment that worked, but they didn't seem to be impressed. I suspect the law and such, and their medical education had compromised their intellect to the point where they actually thought this attitude was alright.

I got a damaged heart out of it and Billy got damaged joints. He had a hard time walking for awhile, but even though he was ten years old by then, his strength and mine gradually returned. The American River had been saved; we had done our job there. We quit those tick infested canyons for the high country.
