clinical cases that show the use of massage in actual cases with patients. Some of the cases describe patients who lost weight due to massage therapy, others describe individuals who originally suffered from certain diseases and then received massage therapy, which helped them relieve symptoms, or actually seemed to cure their ailment. Some researchers in modern times still believe massage has successful applications in the realm of medicine, and they support a few of Kellogg's theories. For instance, some physicians believe that Kellogg's idea for massaging the abdomen when the patient is constipated provides a nice alternative form of treatment, rather than giving them harsh medicines that will take a toll on their bodies. In some cases, the treatments described in the book are taken with almost no changes, and practice of the technique is encouraged exactly how Kellogg intended it to be. Even the descriptions Kellogg uses the describe the effects of massage are sometimes unadulterated. Appendix two starts by praising the "Schott Method", which used exercises and baths to help soothe patients. There are also images that display the practices Kellogg tries to encourage, as well as pictures of muscles and parts of the body. References 1895 non-fiction books Massage Massage therapy
