I really would not care to use this sort of expression, but I do hope you will see why I cannot find any other. <br>     The generally-accepted science of nutrition that is followed today is a fallacy. It is simply pitiful that in spite of the fact that this fallacious notion of nutrition does more harm than good, it uses up an enormous amount of effort and money as a popularly received facet of advanced culture today. I make this bold, audacious statement, knowing that some people may think me crazy because I cannot remain silent in the face of the situation today. This is why. <br>     At the top of what is considered nutritive today are the vitamins called A, B, C, followed by a further classification of different, varying substances such as amino acids, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. When ingested or injected whole into the body, these have a temporary but not a continual effect. Indeed, the effect is ultimately contrary, because as more nutritive supplements are ingested, the human body weakens as much. It should not be necessary to explain here that human beings ingest foodstuffs to maintain and manifest life, but it is the very interpretation of this point that is at odds with human learning about “nutrition” today. <br>     Let us look at how human beings consume foodstuffs. They chew with their teeth, and the food passes through the throat. The food enters the stomach, then the intestines, and what is unnecessary is separated into excrement and eliminated. Throughout this process, at various stages, the nutritive-producing functions of the liver, the gall bladder, the kidneys, the pancreas, and so forth, produce, select and send to the appropriate parts of the body all the necessary elements for the functioning of the blood, muscles, bones, skin, hair, and teeth in a very inscrutable process that maintains life. It is a mystical creation of wonder and profundity that cannot be expressed in human terms. This is nature as it is. <br>     The necessary elements to support human life are included within all foodstuffs. The fact that there so many different varieties of foodstuffs is because each contains different elements. Taste and amount differ for person and time, and the fact that not all the same varieties are available everywhere comes about because what is needed by physical bodies in varying places also differs. Basically, if your stomach empties, you eat. If your throat gets dry, you drink water. If you want something sweet, it is because your body is lacking in sugar content and if you want something spicier than usual, it is because your system lacks salt. The basic principles of nutrition are well illustrated by the natural desires of human beings. Human beings naturally desire food that is delicious, so it should be understandable why it is a mistake to forcibly ingest the unpalatable and bitter substance called medicine. The aphorisms and maxims around since antiquity that emphasize the benefits of bitter medicines are greatly mistaken.<br>     The Creator made poisons bitter so that human beings would not ingest them. Thus, the more delicious something is, the more nutritious it is, and foodstuffs are delicious because they have a high spiritual content. The fresher the fish or vegetable, the higher is the level of spirituality. As time passes, the taste declines because the spirituality has dissipated. <br>     At this point, I would like to discuss nutritional supplements. Within the human body, the nutritive-producing functions create as necessary the required amount of nutrition, that is, vitamins. The nutritive-producing functions of human bodies have the uncanny power to produce the necessary amount of vitamins even from foods that do not contain vitamins. The vitality of a human being results from the activity of the very process that generates the nutritive elements from ingested food. Simply speaking, the activity of the process that creates a perfect substance from an uncompleted one is life itself. <br>     From what I have discussed above it should be obvious that so-called nutritive supplements, which are complete, perfected substances, if ingested, will naturally weaken the body’s nutritive-producing functions since they become unnecessary. As the nutritive-producing function weakens, other functions naturally weaken due to the collective responsibility of all the body’s functions, and finally the entire physical body gradually weakens. Let me give two or three examples of how this can happen. <br>     The first example is Fletcherism which used to be quite touted in the United States. This approach held that chewing the food thoroughly until it was mush in the mouth was beneficial. I myself religiously followed this system for a month, but I found, rather than helping me, that I felt weaker. I was surprised to feel I just did not have the energy I thought I should have, so I stopped following that method, went back to my normal eating habits, and my strength returned. That was when I learned what a mistake it is to completely masticate one’s food. It is mistaken because when the teeth overly masticate, the stomach has no opportunity to fully function, so food really only has to be masticated by half. An old saying has that the person who eats and defecates quickly is a healthy person, and in this sense, the ancients were well advanced of our contemporary civilization. <br>     Another weakening factor are stomach medicines. As one’s stomach weakens, one takes more medicine, and the stomach continues to weaken, so it is an unmistakable fact that the cause of stomach conditions is the use of stomach medicines. I often hear of patients long suffering from stomach diseases or conditions who do not improve as long as they continue to eat regular food that requires good digestion, but who upon eating pickled vegetables in Japanese rice gruel, that is, food that does not need full digestive action, improve.<br>     Let me compare the energy, the vitality, within the human body that upon ingestion changes unprocessed foods into the necessary nutritional elements for the human body to a manufacturing plant. First, the raw materials are brought into the factory. The furnaces are lit, the machinery begins to move, and gradually the finished product is created. That process is the very raison d’être for the factory. If, on the other hand, finished goods were brought into the factory, there would be no need for work in the factory, coal would not be burned, machinery would not be operated, and there would be no need for workers. Shutting down the plant would be the inevitable outcome. <br>     I have sought to explain this issue in terms easy to understand, and if my discussion is given some thought, “comedy” should be the only word available to describe the vapid, worthless substances such as nutritional supplements that squander money and do nothing but weaken the body. Hence the title of this essay. </font>

<title>The Toxic Mass That Is a Human Being</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <p>mokiti okada <a href="http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html">http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html</a> </p><br><p align="center" style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman,Times,serif"><font color="#000000" size="5"><strong>The Toxic Mass That Is a Human Being</strong></font></p><font size="3"><p class="honbun"><br><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The physical body of the contemporary human being is a mass of toxins. I consistently teach this and readers may think it a terrible statement to make, but it is the unfortunate truth. As is taught to all my followers, every one in the world today is a toxic mass composed of two types of medicinal toxins, congenital toxins inherited from our ancestors and post-congenital toxins ingested after birth. Throughout the some twenty-odd years of my experience of having healed hundreds and thousands of persons, I have yet to encounter one individual who is completely free of toxins. The more apt description might be that masses of medicinal toxins are in the shape of human beings without exception. Through Johrei, of course, people can easily eliminate these toxins and reach a point where they are not anxious about disease or fear for their life, but it is probably difficult if not impossible to remove all toxins during the lifetime of a human being.<br>Toxic masses in the form of human beings may haughtily force their materialistic logic on everyone around them, but from our standpoint we know that their level of reason is total absurdity from which it is only natural that no decent level of insight or judgment ever appears. I teach further that it is a law of nature that toxins accumulate in the regions of the body where the nerves are utilized the most, and that since contemporary people use their heads a great deal, the shoulders and the area around the neck are especially stiff from toxins. This condition can readily be apprehended when you look at anyone today and find lumps, either large or small, under the skin in these areas.<br>Natural activity to purify the toxins in the area around the neck and shoulders takes the form of colds, so if left alone, the toxins will be eliminated smoothly and the cold will cure itself. But medical science, ignorant of this natural process, uses medicines and other measures to stop elimination and harden the affected region. As a result of the solidifying measures, medicinal toxins are further added to the human body, the level of hardness increases, and the human body becomes even a denser toxic mass. Purificatory activity will then generate even more readily, leading to the situation we have now with so many sick people. Because it is the brain that is affected the most, there is hardly anyone today who does not suffer from headaches, heavy headedness, low concentration, irritability, or dizziness. As a result, powers of discernment are dulled, people find it hard to tell right from wrong, they lack common sense, they have a lower level of intellect, and they are stupid and thick-headed. You all know this for yourselves when you try to settle a problem within narrow limitations you make for yourself and do not consider larger or long-term consequences. People are continually astonished by the resulting amount of unpleasantness, whether disease, crime, poverty, or conflict, they encounter in society which seems to be nothing more than an illustrated picture scroll of hell.<br>When speaking of discernment, one point I particularly want to make concerns the low level of the intellectual classes. To the public they merely present a clash of contradictions, without well-grounded opinions, containing no thread of logic. Words are merely arranged on a page to earn a living. Hardly anything remains after reading the editorials in newspapers these days. Let me give several instances. First, the example shown by those involved with religion. Most of the people having to do with religions these days are merely attempting to put new garments on antiquated dogmas dating from hundreds and thousands of years ago. There is no freshness or novelty, and such teachings cannot move the people today. The low level of the intelligence of politicians as well is indicated by the fact they will take several days to mull over an issue that anyone with a normal brain could summarize and reach a conclusion about in thirty minutes. Just how low the level is can be gauged by the cases where politicians take not just days, but months and years to reach a conclusion. You will probably agree with this assessment when you consider the issue of rearmament, currently a topic of political discussion. Whether Japan should rearm or not has a simple and clear answer even though the issue continues to be kicked about without any conclusion being reached. The situation is truly hopeless because there are no trustworthy leaders with foresight.<br>In regard to decision-making, my subordinates have standing instructions to cease consultations or discussions if the conclusion about a topic cannot be made within thirty minutes. Even so, oftentimes I have to step in and unilaterally settle matters that do not seem to be coming together, but this is the reason that business in our church can be carried out in such an expeditious manner. Those in the economic field are also dull-witted. Whether in government and financial circles, or in the commercial and industrial sectors, what all continue to suffer from is debt. There is probably no other nation in the world with as much debt and inflation as Japan. The greatest cause for this economic instability is the incompetence in handling balance between profit and interest from which being able to judge the rise and fall of enterprises, analyze world trends, and forecast national economic trends are all impossible. These deficiencies are naturally the result of stupidity, and the weight of debts spurs the stupidity forward. <br>The list goes on and on, and I think you understand my point, but what I want to note particularly is the great amount of unpleasant things that occur nowadays in our world from traffic accidents, fires, mining accidents, incidents of bloodshed, suicide, to child murder and parent suicide. In addition to these statutory incidents, there is the damage from wind and flooding, and insect damage on farms. These problems and misfortunes all result from the lack of intelligence and discernment in the brains of people today, and the cause of that lack is medicinal toxins. I feel acutely that people must be awakened to the relationship between our problems and the toxins in the human body. Contemporary society, frankly speaking, seems to be nothing more than the pushing and shoving, the wriggling around, of toxic lumps. Only the divine blessing of purification will help us. </span></p><p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><br></span></p><p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><br></span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><br></span></p><p class="honbun">The saviour  mokiti okada  <a href="http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html">http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html</a><br><a href="http://www.tokyo-reimei.or.jp/english/english_hp.html">http://www.tokyo-reimei.or.jp/english/english_hp.html</a><br></p></font><font face="Arial" size="3" style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><br></font>

<title>One Instance of a Spiritual Disease</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <p align="center" style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman,Times,serif"><font color="#000000" size="5"><strong>mokiti okada <a href="http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html">http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html</a> </strong></font></p><p align="center" style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman,Times,serif"><font color="#000000" size="5"><strong>One Instance of a Spiritual Disease</strong></font></p><p class="honbun"><font size="3"><br><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">There are various illnesses that result from the possession caused by the spirits of people or animals that have died, and the following example demonstrates this kind of possession quite distinctly. That medical practitioners do not understand it is not unreasonable. As can be seen here, it is obvious that a true healing method clearly explains and also must be able to heal diseases of both the spirit and of the body. Until the present, however, medical science has emphasized the physical and faith healing has relied upon the spiritual, so both approaches were impaired. Neither was able to heal all diseases. Here lies the wonderful value of World Messianity. <br>In this account, a spirit suffering in the spiritual world possesses a human being in the physical world in order to be saved. The peculiar symptoms of the patient are exactly the conditions of the spirit when it died, so once the relationship between the spiritual and the physical is understood, how the healing process unfolds can also be understood.<br></span></font></p><p class="honbun"><font size="3"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><br></span></font>　</p><p class="honbun" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">A Family Saved by the Guidance of Ancestors</p><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: right; FONT-FAMILY: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><small><font size="2">Kikui Daizo, 41, Toyama Church<br>Toyama Prefecture</font></small></div><p class="honbun"><font face="Arial" size="3" style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">In April 1952, I was guided to join the church. Clumsily I share with you one part of my happiness. <br>In April 1951, a cold I happened to catch turned into pneumonia and then into tuberculosis for which I was hospitalized. As a result of receiving injections of streptomycin, taking para-aminosalicylic acid, and maintaining absolute rest as recommended by my doctor, the severe cough I suffered from lessened and my appetite gradually returned. At three months I was discharged from the hospital for which I was very happy. After that, I still continued to visit the hospital as an outpatient, but it happened in the middle of October, I believe, just as autumn had advanced. Because I had heard that the Thunberg’s geranium I could pick in my garden had beneficial medicinal effects, I chopped it up, brewed it, and drank it as tea, which my friend Mrs. Murakami once saw me doing and asked, “You seem to be so earnest about getting better. Are you really better?” We continued to talk about different topics, and then she said, “Let me show you a book,” and she handed me a volume that had been wrapped carefully in a newspaper. She said pleasantly, “It will be a good-tasting medicine. Try it instead of tea,” put the book in a large bag, and gave it to me. At the time I thought I had being doing a good thing by drinking the tea and had been rather pleased with myself. Now that I have learned how terrifying medicinal toxins are, I am more than sorry. That night, when everyone had gone to bed, I took the book (the Chijôtengoku magazine) out of the bag and started to read it. The volume referred to matters I had never heard of or seen before. This is not just a regular old book, I thought, and I found it pleasant to read a little bit from it each night. After that, a friend said there was something she wanted me to hear, invited me to the Kurokawa home, and I went along. As I was listening to the talk, suddenly I strangely felt in the world of dreams, as if I were surrounded by a group of foxes. It seemed so real I just had to look around at the whole group. When the talk was over and I thought it time to leave, some people were waving their hands over other peoples’ bodies. Everyone seemed so serious. On the way home, I learned what had been going on as my friend explained to me. I was surprised to find something so wonderful in Fukumitsu. <br>From that time on, I felt drawn to and visited the home of Rev. Kurokawa several times to hear more about the church. Hearing the valuable explanations, I felt I should meet Rev Takumi, the head of the church. I heard that a neighbor, Mrs. Asano, was going to dedicate a Divine Light Tathagata scroll in her home on February twenty-second and that the head minister would be there, so accompanied by my mother, we went to hear more details about the path. As if I had found a ray of bright light, I could not contain my joy. <br>However, on the night of March six, as always my mother and I recited a Buddhist chant together before going to sleep. The next morning, they tell me, I had lost consciousness. I could hear the voice of my husband far away waking up everyone in the household, and then I regained consciousness. I could not speak. I could not see. I could not move at all. My husband kept asking me, “Are you awake?” “Can you understand me?” But all I could do was nod. There was a big fuss in the household and someone said, “We have to call a doctor quickly!” My husband said to me, “Shall we have the usual doctor come, or since it is a different illness this time, shall we go to another doctor? I will do as you say.” I thought to myself, “This time we mustn’t call a doctor,” but since I could not speak, I just moved my head from side to side. Everyone was surprised, “What kind of sick person is this?” My mother realized what I was trying to say and said, “Her hands are wriggling. I am sure she is trying to indicate Mrs. Asano,” so I was relieved and collapsed again in exhaustion. I heard later that my husband went to fetch Mrs. Asano. She was able to channel Johrei to me right away and I was so happy that tears flowed from my eyes. My body felt better and before I realized it, I fell asleep. While I was sleeping, neighbors came to visit and worried about me, they said to my family, “What are you thinking, not having a person so sick not seen by a doctor!” This was a misplaced kindness, but my family, probably thinking of what society would say, called a doctor. After looking me over, the doctor said, “I do not really know what this sickness is, but just so it does not reach the brain….,” and gave me an injection. That evening, Mrs. Asano came with Rev. Mizokuchi. Right away, Rev. Mizokuchi channeled Johrei to me and in easy to understand terms explained about the church and Johrei to my family. He told us, “Your illness is a sign from your ancestors that they want to be saved. If your husband joins and is able to channel Johrei to you, you will soon get better. Please save your ancestors as quickly as possible.” Even though I could not say anything, within me an inexplicable feeling of bright hope welled up. As I received Johrei, I became able to hear clearly what people were saying, my headache stopped, and on the second day I was able to go by myself to the toilet. Everyone was surprised, although it is regrettable that at that time all that was eliminated was saliva. I was told if I wanted to express something, to write it down and was given a pencil and paper but I could not write even a single letter. In such a pitiful state, Mrs. Asano and Rev. Mizokuchi took turns channeling Johrei and telling me various aspects about the path. Later, on March eleventh, my husband attended the regular service of the branch church and received his sacred focal point. <br>How marvelous! From that day I was able to do housework and bit by bit I was able to speak again. My prayers were fulfilled. I was very thankful. It just seemed too good for me. The doctor told me, “Your illness is peculiar. Medical science has nothing on it.” I thoroughly learned that even though I was the one involved, my sickness was not the doings of human beings at all. After that, I took the introductory course and although for a while I had trouble passing food through my throat, I am now able to eat. We dedicated a Kannon screen in our family altar and everyday we receive blessings. April last year my second son had purification of an inflamed mouth and although we did worry about it, we depended on Meishu-sama, and as we gave our son Johrei, he had completely recovered within a month. We are only choked with tears of gratitude for all the blessings we receive in spite of the many sins and impurities our family has. <br>I still have much to learn and from now on I intend to repay even if only by a thousandth the blessings I have received. A person as unlearned as myself is not able to express thoughts well in speech or through the brush. All I can say is, “Meishu-sama, thank you very much.” I also want to express my gratitude to Rev. Mizokuchi and Mrs. Asano who, trudging through the snow with a small child on her back, visited my home many times to channel Johrei to me. </font></p><p class="honbun"><font face="Arial" size="3"><br></font></p><p class="honbun"><font face="Arial" size="3">The saviour  mokiti okada  <a href="http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html">http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html</a><br><a href="http://www.tokyo-reimei.or.jp/english/english_hp.html">http://www.tokyo-reimei.or.jp/english/english_hp.html</a></font></p>

<title>Medicines Create Misfortune</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <p align="center" style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman,Times,serif"><font color="#000000" size="5"><strong>mokiti okada <a href="http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html">http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html</a> </strong></font></p><p align="center" style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman,Times,serif"><font color="#000000" size="5"><strong>Medicines Create Misfortune</strong></font></p><font size="3"><p class="honbun"><br><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">In my writings and talks, I have discussed medicines from many aspects, but I feel I have not written in as much detail as I could about the relationship between medicine and misfortune. <br>It should be thoroughly understood that our state of fortune or misfortune has its cause in the spiritual world, so first, a short explanation of how the spiritual world is organized. It is composed of one hundred and eighty levels, divided into top, middle, and lower levels of sixty sections each. The lower level is, of course, hell; the middle, the intermediate plane; and the upper, paradise. Each of the sixty sections is further subdivided into twenty levels, each with upper, middle, and lower levels. <br>In referring to hell alone, for example, suffering gradually increases as we descend into the lower regions. The lowest region of hell is a world of serious disease, starvation, and conflict in extreme degrees. Shinto and Buddhism both have names for this world and Dante called it purgatory. But these extreme conditions lessen each level upward, and what we regard as the normal conditions of society can be experienced for the first time in the intermediate levels. Here we find an intermediate amount of suffering and an intermediate amount of joy, as the name implies. Continuing upward, breaking out of the intermediate levels, is paradise, or what is referred to in Buddhism as the land of eternal bliss. Here, there is no disease or poverty, food is abundant, and all is at peace, truly a world enveloped in happiness. <br>As you can see from this explanation, most people belong somewhere in the intermediate levels, but these levels are not places where we can relax our guard. What we think and do determines whether we can rise upward or whether we fall downward. Because the spirits of most people fall downward, conditions in the physical world follow, and their physical world becomes a hell for them. <br>This is only a brief explanation of the connection between the physical and the spiritual worlds, but as I always stress, the law of all spiritual laws is the law of the spirit preceding the physical, and this law applies to all without exception. Thus, the amount of fortune or misfortune a person experiences is determined by the position of that person’s spirit in the spiritual world. <br>This is truth and as long as it is kept in mind and acted upon accordingly, becoming a happy, fulfilled person is not difficult. No matter how much you may desire happiness or others may yearn for your happiness, unless your spirit belongs to the upper levels of paradise, happiness will only be temporary and your condition will always drop back to the corresponding position your spirit occupies in the spiritual world. In line with this principle, conversely, no matter how unhappy you are, if, with the proper attitude, you try to do good by practicing virtue and by helping other people, your spirit will rise in the spiritual world according to the law of spiritual affinity, and thus you will become happy. <br>The fundamental reason a spirit’s level drops in the spiritual world is that clouds on the spirit accumulate and the spirit becomes heavier. Therefore, as the amount of clouds decrease, the spirit becomes lighter and its position rises. Happiness increases proportionately. The happiness of human beings is subject to the amount of clouds on their spirit. Just knowing this fact will allow you to join the ranks of the fulfilled, happy ones. This is an eternal, ironclad rule of the spiritual world. <br>So, what are clouds? Since ancient times various religions have preached about clouds using the words “sins” and “impurities,” and because everyone is familiar with these concepts, there is no need to discuss them here, but what is understood of sin and impurities is only the surface. Deep below the surface is the basis for the great consequence that are sins and impurities. The source of clouds on the spirit are the medicines that have been so widely extolled and used by humanity since antiquity. People may be shocked by this statement, but it has been learned through divine revelation, so it is of vital importance.<br>The poisons contained in the medicines introduced into the body pollute the blood. As the blood, the physical manifestation of spirit, becomes polluted, the spiritual body becomes clouded according to the law of the oneness of body and spirit. There is nothing more frightening than medicines. Medicines cloud the spirit, making it heavier and dragging it downward in the spiritual world, finally pulling it into hell. Thus, by the law of spiritual affinity, the number of people who commit heinous acts increases, and our world becomes a place of suffering, besieged by sickness, poverty, and conflict. The first, fundamental step in making this a world of peace and happiness is to eliminate from society medicines, the root of human misfortune. </span></p><p class="honbun"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><br></span></p><p class="honbun"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The saviour  mokiti okada  <a href="http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html">http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html</a><br><a href="http://www.tokyo-reimei.or.jp/english/english_hp.html">http://www.tokyo-reimei.or.jp/english/english_hp.html</a><br></span></p></font>

Firstly about the source of disease: the fact is, surprisingly enough, that what produces disease is the medical treatment itself, and especially, medicine is the main factor in it. That is to say, the very method for curing illness in order to decrease ill people is, to the contrary, preventing the cure for illness and increasing illness and ill people, which means that they are unbelievably trapped under the total illusion. This is so evident a fact that no explanation would be needed, but it has not been realized at all in general, so we can say it is simply an enigma of the 20th century. In fact, people show more and more faith in medicine and believe firmly that they can get rid of disease by advancing medical science. Then, what is the cause that has brought this enigmatic illusion? It is because the medical way of thinking is inverted, taking diseases as bad phenomena. Now I will try to give an in-depth explanation about this.<br><br></font><font size="3">　　</font><font face="Arial" size="3">In the nature of things, a human being has, without exception, both inborn and acquired poisonous substance. The inborn poison is, needless to say, the inheritance from the parents and the acquired one is the poisonous substances in medicine which people have taken in their bodies since after their births. Everyone will be surprised to know this. For the basic assumption is that medicines are what will cure sickness and aid health, so they believe that if only very effective medicines are produced, every sickness will be cured; this is the focus of medical treatment. Above all, the U.S.; people in this country put the most emphasis on medicine and are making a massive effort to discover and develop new drugs, as you know. Hence, if medicine had the power to heal illnesses, existing illnesses should have been decreasing gradually, but the fact is contrariwise that illnesses are increasing even more; why is this happening? Nothing is more irrational than this occurrence. Basically, there is no such thing as a medicine on the earth, so what people think of as medicines are all poisons with no exception and they are effective exactly because they are poisons. What I mean is that so called medicine appears to cure illness because of its toxicity which suppresses the symptoms of illness, but actually the illness is not cured at all. <br><br></font><font size="3">　　</font><font face="Arial" size="3">Then, why are medicines poisons? Because, it is foods that what human beings are supposed to eat and the Creator provided for them to live on at the same time as creating humankind. And of the foods, some are for human beings to eat and others are not; this distinction is self-evident. That is to say, the foods which we humans should eat are made to have a taste and humans are given the sense of taste, so if only we enjoy eating foods we want to eat, we can get enough nutrition; considering just this one thing, you should understand how thoroughly the Creator has done. Seen in this light, we do not eat for living but live with eating, just like acts of reproduction, that is, men and women have sex not to bear children, but they happen to be blessed with children making love for another purpose; this is a great mystery. <br><br></font><font size="3">　　</font><font face="Arial" size="3">As remarked above, the internal function of human body is made to be unable to process a foreign substance completely except the stuff which is prescribed as food, and so, since the medicine is a foreign material to the human body, when taken into the body, only the nutritional element of medicine is assimilated but the rest of it remains in the body. This is the toxic element in medicine, and in addition, the trouble is that this toxic element accumulates at the local parts of the body and as time goes by, it solidifies. The parts it accumulates are limited to where the nerves are concentrated and highly active. The parts where the nerve activity is very high are situated, of course, in the upper half of the body, especially from the neck up: mainly the brains, and the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, etc., so the toxic substances gather together aiming at these parts and they solidify around the neck for a moment. Any person will have, without exception, the solidification somewhere at the neck or in the shoulder. This is a so-called stiffness, and when it has developed to some degree, the process of natural elimination, that is, the purification occurs. In that case, the solidified toxic elements are dissolved by the action of high fever, liquefied and transformed into cough, phlegm, nasal mucus, sweat, diarrhea, hot urine, etc. to be eliminated. We call this a cold. <br><br></font><font size="3">　　</font><font face="Arial" size="3">Consequently, a so-called common cold is the process for eliminating the toxic elements, so if you are patient enough during this process though it is a little painful, and leave it to nature, then the toxic elements are eliminated well, the interior of the body are purified and restored to health; this is excellent. Since the common cold is very simple physiological activity and effect by God's providence, we ought to be most thankful for the process, but the people who did not know the truth interpreted the pain of purification as a bad symptom and invented medical treatment to stop it, which you should understand is a total mistake. And this process of purification is all the more likely to occur because the body is vital, so the most effective way to stop the process is to weaken the bodily vital activity. Upon this, people came to use the poison called medicine. From ancient days, digging out of roots of herbs and barks of trees, minerals, animal internal organs, etc., boiling, powdering, or extracting, they made medicines in various forms: liquid medicine, pills, ointment, medicine for injection, etc., and applied them to stopping the process of purification. However, if the toxicity is too strong, it will be life-threatening, so they make this toxic character very weak and have it taken bit by bit. For this purpose, they fixed a dose of medicine to take, say three times a day, therefore, an effective medicine means the poison whose toxicity is made stronger so far as not to show toxic symptoms. Thus, by using the toxic elements in medicine, they have hardened the poison which otherwise would be dissolved and discharged, and consequently, people today have retained so much poison and contract diseases very easily and this is why they are unduly strict about preventive hygiene and fearful of the common cold. And further, they feel happy to hear that their life span has been extended to be a little over sixty, but this is also a great mistake. For it would not difficult for a human being to live to be more than a hundred years old if only he or she did not have disease, but in fact almost all people die at an age under one hundred; this is a death from unnatural causes of disease, therefore, without disease, people would die of natural causes, consequently, they naturally would live long. Thus, medical treatment is not the method for curing disease but the way to alleviate pains temporarily, for which purpose an absolute minimum of activity, a wet compress, an ointment, an ice application, an electrotherapy, a phototherapy, etc., all these treatments are none other than the means to solidify poisons. Among them, moxa cautery and thermotherapy are a little different; these are methods of treatment which, by applying temporal heat stimuli to some spots, lead toxic element to the spots, and as a result, the patients have relief, but after some time passes, their original conditions return with nothing improved. There is also another method called radium therapy which destroys cancer by radium rays; if this method destroyed cancer only, it would be very good, but actually it destroys the tissue in the body, so on balance, the demerits are greater than the merits. <br><br></font><font size="3">　　</font><font face="Arial" size="3">As observed above, every single medical treatment up to now has been thoroughly the method of solidification, but there is absolutely no other method of remedy at all than dissolving toxic substance and discharging it. This is evident from that medical doctors do not say "cure" but "make solid." On top of that, the most effective of all the solidifying method is medicine and the medicine makes source of the disease, so it is quite natural that the more often one has medical treatment, the more easily one suffers complications and become worse. As a result, one is led up to life-threatening condition in the end. Concerning this, the following are very suggestive. We often hear from doctors that a patient who is very eager to be cured of a disease and uses a precious medicine is most likely to become worse, whereas a patient who is indifferent to the course is most likely to get well. And we also often hear that the more careful about hygiene a person is, the poorer health he or she has and the more careless, the healthier; doctors' families and nurses working at the hospital have a tendency to be ill. Interestingly enough, a person of unusual health, a golden ager says, "I have never depended on the help of a doctor or medicine because I have never become ill," but from our standpoint, the person is healthy precisely because he or she has never see a doctor or take medicine and because healthy, no need of a doctor or medicine; this logic should be deeply appreciated.</font>

<title>Home Gardening and Non-Fertilizer Cultivation</title>

Vegetable gardens generally do not involve production of the cereals, such as rice and wheat, and most gardens are used for cultivating vegetables. Human excrement as well as garbage, fish scraps, wood ash, and the manure of horses and chickens, are applied, but the most commonly used fertilizer in Japanese home gardens is human excrement. <br>In these cases, however, those who fertilize with human excrement are not experienced farmers, but typical householders not accustomed to handling such material, so the experience can be quite distressing. Applying it is disagreeable, and the smell lingers for quite a long time, filling the rooms of the house, extinguishing even enjoyment of dinner time, the unpleasantness being more than the average person can bear. Since human excrement is supposed to be effective, people have no course but to use it, but I would like to discuss several examples that aptly show how the use of human excrement for agriculture is harmful. <br>Inexperienced cultivators often complain about tomatoes and varieties of bean plants whose flowers drop prematurely and about low yields. They also complain of low output or of no output at all with potatoes, of leaf blight and of broken stalks. Insect damage is also cause for much concern, but the cause of all these problems stems from the use of human excrement, and this fact has remained unknown until now. Low productivity, as well, was thought to result from the insufficient use of fertilizers, so even more fertilizers were applied, which led to reverse effects. The poor quality of plants has conspicuously continued to worsen until now. This vicious cycle was inevitable because agricultural specialists taught that artificial fertilizers were effective, and this unsatisfactory situation occurred because the specialists themselves had fallen for the superstitious belief in the efficacy of fertilizers. Specialists attributed poor results to errors in usage of types, amount, and the timing of fertilizer use or to the acidity of the soil. All these explanations are quite off the mark and only muddle the basic principles of agriculture. The fallacy is so astonishing!<br>One of the most beneficial aspects of Non-Fertilizer Cultivation is that neither human excrement nor any other kind of fertilizer is necessary. We are only concerned that the compost be satisfactory, and the results are wonderful. Here is just a short list of advantages. <br>1. Unpleasant fertilizers, including human excrement, are not needed.<br>2. Therefore, there are no diseases caused by parasitic insects, and produce is clean.<br>3. No premature loss of flowers or breakage of stems, and plants are easy to cultivate because they are strong.<br>4. It is economical because there is no expense or need for disinfecting measures since there is no damage from insects. <br>5. Because the amount of produce increases, a smaller area for cultivation suffices.<br>6. The delicious taste of non-fertilized vegetables is extraordinary, and they are naturally high in nutritive value. <br>I could go on, but more to the point, only those who have experienced using Non-Fertilizer Cultivation can know from the results of the method how much more pleasant life becomes. The sooner Non-Fertilizer Cultivation is implemented, the better. When starting Non-Fertilizer Cultivation, however, one point that must be kept in mind is that because seeds and the soil have been permeated with toxins, it will take some period of time for the agricultural toxins to be eliminated, and conspicuously good results will not be seen for that period. Depending on the type of vegetable, however, some varieties will show good results from the first year, and others will take two or three years. It is when all the agricultural toxins have been eliminated from the soil and seeds that marvelous results will be obtained.</font> The saviour  mokiti okada  <a href="http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html">http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html</a><br><a href="http://www.tokyo-reimei.or.jp/english/english_hp.html">http://www.tokyo-reimei.or.jp/english/english_hp.html</a>

<title>My Way of Maintaining Good Health</title>

This year I will be sixty-eight years old. I am hale and physically put younger men to shame. I still hike mountain trails quite a bit, but because I have stronger legs than the younger people around me, I am continually having to slow down for them. They ask me if I am fatigued but to be honest, because I am not tired at all I am really in a quandary on how to answer them. Every night I go to bed at two thirty or three o’clock and rise at seven o’clock or seven thirty, so I get about four to four and a half hours of sleep a night. As for work, the members of my staff know very well that my labor is the equivalent of ten persons and the younger ones struggle to keep up. That is just the way it is and they have to put up with it. <br>     Aspects of my daily schedule that I have described are also a part of my way of maintaining good health, and since it is probably contrary to what most people do these days, I would like to describe it as reference for others. <br>     The rules for good health currently prescribed by the medical profession warn not to overdo, to get enough sleep, get plenty of nourishment, masticate food thoroughly, and not to overwork the brains, among other such measures, but my way of keeping healthy is to do nearly the opposite. <br>     First of all, I try to push myself. This is because human beings can improve their health to the extent that they try to strain themselves. But, because I overexert myself, it can be uncomfortable or physically painful so I do adjust myself accordingly. The amount of sleep required varies by age, but for me, four or five hours is just right. What I eat is an interesting topic because I am concerned that what I eat is overly nourishing. Many members of the church donate foodstuffs to my household, actually too much, but I try to partake as much as possible, even if in small amounts, of the love and sincerity offered by members, so you could say that I am a gourmet. I try to regulate my diet by apportioning what I eat throughout the day as follows. During the morning after breakfast, I eat sweet potatoes, and before going to bed at night, I make it a rule to eat boiled rice soaked in tea. Neither have I failed to eat one bowlful of Japanese red bean soup a day. <br>     Another aspect to eating is that foods have a yin, negative attribute, and yang, a positive attribute, and neither attribute should be overemphasized. Yin is represented by vegetables and yang by meat and fish. I try to moderate my diet so it leans to neither extreme. Everyday I try to eat about seventy percent yin and thirty percent yang at breakfast; at lunch I try to eat about one half of each; and at dinner, seventy percent yang and thirty percent yin. There is also a yin and yang to the Japanese style of pickled foodstuffs. Yin comprises the pickled vegetables and yang, the root plants like the white-colored Japanese radish daikon. I try to keep the percentage of pickled foods I eat to about half of each attribute. <br>     Among other practices I follow is not to emphasize mastication. I swallow my food after I have chewed it only by half. This is because overly chewing food will eventually weaken the stomach’s functions. Another practice is not to rest or take naps after eating but immediately rise from the table and get on with activities. This is a way to improve the constitution of the stomach. I had success in healing my own stomach condition this way. Nor do I ever set limits on how much to eat. The principle of my nutritional method is to eat as much of what I want when I want. In the course of my daily life, however, I am not able to be so self-indulgent, but I do try to eat as reasonably and as appropriately as possible. <br>     Here I would like to introduce another habit you may find unexpected. It is good try to try to use your head and brains as much as possible. Actively using your head is one way to maintain good health, and those who do so live longer. But the head should be not used to worry. The head and brains should be used for interesting, pleasant matters. Herein lies another point where the value of faith can be shown. If something occurs that could cause worry, you can leave the matter in God’s hands so your worries are greatly decreased. In other words, you have God take over the burden of worrying. This may seem truly impudent, but it is this kind of impudence that pleases God.<br>     For a long time now, I have made it a point to get out of the house at least once a day. I never miss a day, whether it is raining or the wind is blowing. At these times, I also make it a point to walk as much as possible. I understand that this is the secret of those who get healthier as they age. As far as alcohol is concerned, I do not drink more than three small cups of rice wine, or one glass of beer, and I smoke the average* amount of cigarettes a day. <br>     The above illustrates my way of keeping healthy. Germs, of course, do not concern me in the least, so members of the general public may think I am unhygienic, but this is, in truth, the appropriate way to think of hygiene. If people were to follow my way of health, they too would become healthier. I do recommend that you follow these methods without anxiety and guarantee that you will not become like some pasty-faced egghead.<br></font>

<title>Does Contemporary Medicine Heal Disease?</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <p>mokiti okada  <a href="http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html">http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html</a></p><br><p align="center"><font face="Arial" size="5" style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>Does Contemporary Medicine Heal Disease?</strong></font><small><font face="Arial" size="3"><small><strong> </strong></small></font></small></p><font face="Arial" size="3"><p class="honbun"><br></p><p class="honbun"><font face="Arial" size="3"><br></font></p><p class="honbun">mokiti okada  <a href="http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html">http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html</a></p></font><font size="3" style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">     The title may appear to exceed exaggeration and border on insanity, but most readers should find no room for objection if they read the argument to the very end. Society is pleased that recent advances in medical science have led to an apparent lengthening of the human life span, but these phenomena are only temporary, and it is obvious that the time will come when these advances lead to reverse effects. Make no mistake this will happen. Here is why. <br>     As a preliminary step, let me offer firm proof of what I say. The evidence is in the many testimonials that are carried in World Messianity’s newspaper <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Kyûsei (Salvation)</span> and in its journal <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Chijôtengoku (Heaven on Earth)</span>. At present, several hundreds of these reports are received every month. It would not be going too far to say that almost all of these testimonials, for the past several decades, are the accounts of people whose serious illnesses were not cured by medical treatment or by any other healing therapy. A careful perusal of each account will show that not only did medical treatment have no effect, rather sometimes it even led to unintended ill effects. Pitiful is the only word to describe the long periods of suffering that come from the poor results of medical treatment, accompanied by large wastes of money. The reports carried in the church periodicals reflect not only appreciation and joy of having been totally cured by Johrei but also an enthusiastic expression of sharing their happiness with others suffering from the same conditions. I really want to know what medical doctors have to say when they read these accounts. <br>     Those involved in medical science do not realize that there is a close relationship between the fact that their therapies do not heal and the phenomenon that the life span seems to have been lengthened to a certain extent. Here is an interpretation based on the principles of divine healing. <br>     Medical science does not understand that illness, sickness, disease, “conditions,” etc., are all names that have been attached to the suffering that accompanies the process of the elimination of toxins from each and every human body. I have continued to advocate this for many years, but medical science interprets the physical suffering, the pain, that accompanies the elimination of toxins, to be bad, something that must be alleviated. The only method medical science possesses for alleviating that pain are medicines, drugs, pharmaceuticals. The essence of all these are toxic, and with their application, the power of the human body to purify its toxins is weakened and pain is alleviated. With only the pain alleviated, medical science is under the illusion that the disease has been healed. <br>     The mission of medical science that is perceived to be suppressing the toxins that seek elimination and alleviating pain, which is only a temporary measure, is quite mistaken. Medical treatment is only a technique for alleviating pain and is in reality not a method for healing disease. If this article is carefully read, it should be clear that as I suggest in my title medical science does not heal disease. The principles of divine healing indicate that the progress of medical science is the advance of the technique of alleviating pain, in other words, the advance of methods for postponing the elimination of toxins. The true cause of complications, relapses, and chronic conditions actually stems from the postponement of toxin elimination. So, in contrast to medical science, the true method of healing and the positive way to form healthy individuals encourages the elimination of toxins and the cleansing of the body internally. Contagious diseases naturally do not infect a completely healthy person, special disinfecting procedures are unnecessary, and contemporary peoples’ fear of germs disappears. Because the toxins that are in the human body are primarily medicinal toxins, in brief, the method that tries to cure actually results in creating disease. <br>     People nowadays automatically look to medical treatment for help when they come down with sickness or a condition, but, because medical treatment, as I just described above, is a continuous repetition of methods to alleviate pain through medicinal toxins and other means, it only results in postponing purification therefore creating individuals who are only half healthy. I will explain what awaits these half healthy human beings, but first it is necessary to emphasize an important point. <br>     The function that eliminates toxins is generated within the body as I explained, and it occurs because that physical body is healthy enough to sustain the purification process. The healthier the person, the more vigorous are the metabolic processes of that person, and therefore, what we call purification is more apt to occur. This is most clearly observable in the phenomenon that because infectious diseases are the most vigorous forms of purification, these diseases are more prevalent in younger people. Young people experience tuberculosis to a greater degree for the same reason. But these explanations diametrically contrast to the theories of medical science which hold that contracting infectious diseases and tuberculosis indicate a low rate of resistance in the body. If that were so, the older one gets, resistance should weaken and the elderly should be afflicted to a greater extent with these two conditions. Another consequence of medical treatment is that recovery from tuberculosis takes longer because the forced suppression of the purifying function prolongs the condition.<br>     When we consider the principles of true health, we see it is only logical that as contemporary medical science has advanced so has decreased the number of individuals possessing true health, which means that there are more and more half healthy individuals. A half healthy individual is, for example, a young person with the constitution of the elderly. The purificatory energy of a half healthy person is weaker, so the opportunity for getting sick decreases. Even if purification should occur, the suppression of purification with medical treatment alleviates the condition temporarily. Another logical outcome of medicine’s mistaken theories that cannot be overlooked is the decrease in the staying power of physical laborers these days. Physical laborers in technologically advanced nations have come to dislike work because they fatigue more easily and thus seek to have the hours they work reduced. Also, another point largely unremarked upon, is that even the ability of farmers to maintain long hours in the fields has lessened, and this is also due to the decrease in their physical vitality. As our culture advances so naturally does concern for the happiness of workers, and although respect for labor is championed as a reason for this concern, it is not difficult to overlook the basic problem of health that lurks beneath the surface of this situation. <br>     Vaccination, which has come to be vigorously promoted in recent times, also deserves mention. Above I stated that a person catches an infectious disease because that person’s purificatory energy is strong, so the energy to purify conversely weakens with vaccination. People are deluded into thinking that they have lessened the chances of coming down with or getting disease. A person of true health, however, has no poisons in the system and will not contract disease, but at this time it is fair to say that there is no one with true health. Because members of the general public are half healthy individuals carrying toxins around in their bodies, purification is prone to be generated, that is, people will get sick, but then their conditions are temporarily alleviated with medicines. When people get sick and use medical treatments, these therapies force a stop to the purifying process which results in friction with the opposing purificatory energy. <br>     As this friction increases, physical vitality weakens correspondingly, which can lead to death. One example is the case of inflammation of the lungs. Inflammation of the lungs is ordinarily a very vigorous purification, but if asked for a diagnosis, doctors recommend such-and-such medicine saying that it will cure the condition right away, and that if not used, one may die. The medicine they use on their patient must be a very strong one to be able to overcome the vigorous purificatory process. These principles apply all the more to infants. The reason there are so many infant deaths is because infancy is the period of the most vigorous purifying energy. The medicines used to suppress infant diseases, even if judged to be suitable for the age group, act very powerfully, and the activity of friction produced between the purification process and the effect of the medicine may cause death.<br>      The reader should have gotten a general idea of the issues involved in healing from the explanation of the specific examples I have given. As long as the number of half healthy people increases, the opportunity for getting sick gradually decreases and even when sickness does occur, the purifying energy is weaker. In this weakened state, the severe friction between the two opposing forces does not occur, so people believe they have avoided death, and this is the true reason that the life span appears to have been prolonged in recent years. But these half healthy people will not lead truly long lives. In their later years, the toxins that have built up over the years in their systems will hasten senility, hardening of the arteries, stroke, and constriction of the kidneys will occur. That the lengthening of the average life span in recent years has not changed the absolute longest length of the life span bears out my point. Statistics show that the average longest life spans still hover at a little over eighty years. Thus we can see that what we have experienced is not a lengthening of the life span due to an increase of true health. <br>     The true worth of the divine healing therapy is that instead of suppressing purification, purification and the elimination of as much toxin as possible in case of an outbreak of disease is encouraged. Many cases of the purification process are described in the testimonials published in our periodicals. These testimonials show sufficient proof that through divine healing therapy individuals with true health can maintain a life span of over ninety years.</font>

<title>Infant Health</title>

The cause must be discovered, but medical science looks for the reasons in the wrong places. The anticipated success is not achieved no matter how much effort is made.<br>Here I will explain my discovery of the cause for the poor health of infants. In my experience when I treated diseases in children, from infancy to about the age of five or six, patients from urban environments had an astonishingly weakened condition that differed noticeably from children raised in the countryside. Medical science explains that city air is poor, children have no place to play, and that transportation systems and noise all create a poor environment that aggravates the young nervous system. Children from rural areas are supposedly blessed with favorable surroundings, and these factors do indeed play a role, but the greatest reason for the poor health of infants is an aspect which people do not appreciate at all. Let me demonstrate the way I explained the point to mothers at the time I directly treated their sick infants and weak children. I started by asking them, “Is your child a Japanese, or is it a European?” Then, continuing, “Japanese children have ancestors who grew up and lived eating Japanese style food, but the Japanese children of today have suddenly started to eat Western food and are now being raised according to European standards. This is the reason they are weak,” I cautioned the mothers. What is most ridiculous, though, is that mothers do not give their children Japanese sweets. There appear to be some mothers who particularly dislike the traditional Japanese confection bean jam. When I asked them why they do not give their children bean jam, they answered that their doctors told them that bean jam should not be given to children because it can cause children’s dysentery (ekiri). I replied that this is most unreasonable, that red beans are very good for elimination when boiled and eaten. What could be wrong with refining them, making them into a liquid, and adding sugar? I further explained that doctors study Western medical books and translate them literally into Japanese, and because bean jam does not exist in the West, it is not mentioned. Therefore doctors say such things. Readers will nod in acknowledgement when they realize that the foods doctors say best for invalids are those which are readily available in the West, such as cow’s milk, oat meal, butter, apples, and potatoes. <br>As the Japanese child grows into adulthood, Western style foods can gradually be mixed into the diet, but I hereby declare on the basis of my many experiences that keeping Japanese children to a diet of Japanese style food between infancy and the age of five or six years is the most healthy. <br>Another statement that I can make from my experience is that injections too often given to children will result in arrested development, educational disabilities, presenting unstable, emaciation, wobbly necks, weakened constitutions, and anemia. Youngsters with these symptoms, if not given medicines for two or three years, will return to the healthy condition of any ordinary child. <p class="honbun"><font face="Arial" size="3">The saviour mokiti okada <a href="http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html">http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html</a> <br><a href="http://www.tokyo-reimei.or.jp/english/english_hp.html">http://www.tokyo-reimei.or.jp/english/english_hp.html</a> </font></p></font>

<title>Disease Is the Process of Eliminating Toxins</title>

Nothing is more wonderful for human beings than the process of disease. If the function of disease did not exist, the human body would not be able to maintain health, would physically weaken, and the possibility of a long life would decrease. This is an absolute truth and the healing method on which this truth is based is the only proper way to rid the physical body of disease. Any healing art that is not based on this truth is a pseudo method and cannot completely cure human maladies. <br>　　What I mean here by “toxic material” can take many forms, from phlegm, nasal mucous, the bloody mucous from coughing, impure blood from various types of hemorrhaging, pus, diarrhea, cloudy urine, sweat, saliva, discharge from the eyes, tears, and discharge from the ears to rashes, reddening of the skin, blotches, ringworm, athlete’s foot, and dandruff. Toxic materials, or, toxins if you will, such as those in the form of phlegm, nasal mucous, sweat, and cloudy urine are eliminated during colds. Toxins contained in diarrhea and the bloody discharge from hemorrhoids are those that have gathered in the abdomen from all parts of the body and then are expelled from the anus. Pus and bloody pus first form in boils and growths and are then eliminated. Different varieties of impure blood are eliminated through the skin in small pox, measles, scarlet fever, spotted fever, and scabies. Toxins are also dispelled in various other forms, so disease in general may be described as the process of cleansing the physical body.<br>　　As a result of cleansing, the blood becomes purer, and purer blood increases the degree of health. The healthier body has improved blood circulation, is more immune to infection, its physical vitality grows, becomes more resistant to disease, and as a result of a healthier body, one’s mental outlook becomes brighter, more optimistic. On the other hand, a person who is always subject to colds, always feels unpleasant, who is prone to anger for no reason, is depressed, mentally weak, or is prone to tuberculosis, is someone with impure blood. Of all the conditions human beings may face, there is nothing to surpass the common cold for being the most simple and effective way to eliminate toxins and thus maintain good health. The best protection against disease is to try to catch a cold as much as possible. If one is often able to catch a cold and recover quickly, it is safe to say that one will not come down with tuberculosis or have mental problems. <br>　　Medical science is not aware of this aspect of the human body and interprets all disease negatively, so you can see how mistaken is the present level of knowledge. The general public believes that medical science today has made tremendous progress in spite of the fact that actual results have been so doubtful. The more medical science “progresses,” the more it strays from the true principles of healing. Medical science has not even uncovered the cause of the common cold and its interpretation of tuberculosis is rather strained.<br>　　Medical science cannot heal even the most basic of conditions because it is based on methods that block the natural healing process. Sicknesses are healed easily with our methods. Sickness is a God-given cleansing process, so when human beings are cleansed of their impurities to a certain extent, they can heal themselves with the natural ability that their physical bodies possess. After reaching this state, most conditions will be healed quickly if left to nature, without physical intervention. <br>　　Since the faraway past, however, disease has been seen to be something bad, not the beneficial process it is, and medical science has developed to the present day on this negative basis. Although our understanding of the body has increased, physical suffering has also increased. Increased to the terrifying point where the very lives of human beings are in danger. People were not able to feel at ease unless measures were taken, and thus misinterpretation upon misinterpretation has led to the medical science we have today. What shocking foolishness has continued to the present day! Think of the great sacrifice in human life over the centuries! It may very well be that the forbidden fruit mentioned in the Christian Bible is in reality medicine.<br>We should rejoice, however, for the time has come for this fallacy to be brought to light. A world without sickness will appear, and in the near future, a human life span of more than one hundred years will become possible. As the number of individuals without toxins in their bodies increases, also will grow the number of people without disease and poverty who shun conflict. Thus will come about our motto, paradise on earth.<br>　　As an unprecedented act of great salvation, paradise on earth will be a manifestation of God’s great love and will appear because it is time for it to do so. The most fundamental condition for this paradise is the elimination of sickness from human beings, and the key to the elimination of disease is the correction of medical science, so that all errors in the world may be resolved.</p><p class="honbun"></p><p class="honbun"><font face="Arial" size="3">The saviour mokiti okada <a href="http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html">http://www.rattail.org/english/index.html</a> <br><a href="http://www.tokyo-reimei.or.jp/english/english_hp.html">http://www.tokyo-reimei.or.jp/english/english_hp.html</a> </font></p></font></div>
