Great Construction

Damaged Health

     We often hear used phrases such as “damaged health” or “damage the health,” but there is nothing as ridiculous as these expressions. The human body is not some substance like glass or pottery. These expressions are used because people do not understand the true aspects of the human body at all. Disease does not destroy the body, rather disease regulates the body. Processes like diarrhea and the feeling of nausea are actually quite satisfactory methods the body uses to expel the toxins that are harmful to health.

Night Chills

     When an infant or young child experiences diarrhea, the condition is said to result from the child getting chilled at night while sleeping. This is also a peculiar explanation. Diarrhea is one process for eliminating toxins, and night chills are quite satisfactory. As an example, I have never worn a stomach band to keep warm, and neither have I had any of my six children wear stomach bands. I have slept well without any special covering over my stomach as a result of which I am now in good health the year round.

Children’s Dysentery

     Among pediatric diseases, children’s dysentery is held to be a frightening disease. The cause of children’s dysentery is often said to be eating such foods as bananas and anko or red bean paste, but that is not possible. Children’s dysentery is a strong purifying process, and the blame for the disease is put on food eaten before or after its outbreaks because the true cause of children’s dysentery is not understood.
