Upendra: Śrīla Prabhupāda, I think that just as you gradually decreased your eating and drinking and became very weak, so you should increase gradually, very carefully. Yesterday you drank barley water and grape juice, and you didn't come down with a cough. So if you increase just a little barley water and mung water, then after a few days thin milk, maybe some Complan, and then gradually increase the resistance...
Prabhupāda: So instead of water, barley water.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Take barley water now?
Prabhupāda: In milk. Milk will give some strength.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Milk will give some strength, Prabhupāda says. He's going to make now, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Milk or...
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Complan?
Prabhupāda: Hm.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: We have... Jayatīrtha brought us new boxes of Complan from England. You have fresh supply now. You want Complan instead of milk?
Prabhupāda: What do you think?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Well, whatever you take, we don't want you to cough. That's a fact. That's too disturbing. So... (break) Why not take barley water instead of milk? I mean is milk better than barley water?
Prabhupāda: No.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So yesterday you took barley water and you didn't get mucus. So why not stick with that for a little while and get some more strength? See, if you get mucus now, because you don't have much strength, it will be difficult for you to cough. First of all, better to get more strength. Then we can take up drinking some things like milk which might cause a little mucus, but then you'd have the strength to cough. Now we should not take any risk. Is that a fact? At least that's how I'm thinking. It may be better you drink some barley water. Do you mind drinking it?
Prabhupāda: With little milk mixed up.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Little Complan or milk?
Prabhupāda: Milk.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: All right. Okay, Prabhupāda. Upendra is making just now.
