He who was named Switch Striker spoke thus:
One who is a healer must take care of himself. Medicine men and healers must not go about eating the cooking of several different women. Truly, he must be careful about eating food cooked outside his own home.
There are times when our women are sick during the new moon phase with their personal illness. You may eat something they cooked. This will kill any medicine you know. It is absolutely forbidden to go carelessly about eating in many places.
If you plan to go somewhere and spend the day there, you should be prepared to cook for yourself and take your own food along with you wherever you go. If you follow these instructions, you will retain knowledge of good medicine for a long time.
“When you eat at different places, your knowledge of medicine dies,” said Ganasda Ditsiti, who was Switch Striker and lived long ago.
The elders said this. They spoke of what they were taught. “Keep in your memory what I have said,” cautioned Ganasda Ditsiti who was Switch Striker.
