Great Construction

Preface (Revolutionary Treatment for Tuberculosis)

     This volume is composed of the first portion that pertains to tuberculosis of the first chapter, “Science,” concerning medical science, from the book I am presently writing, Creation of Civilization. The problem of tuberculosis has come to be widely discussed these days, and the trend for the number of cases of tuberculosis to gradually increase shows no signs of abating. Today various branches of government and medical specialists are particularly concerned, deliberating upon and elaborating measures to cope, using all available methods, but regrettable it is that results do not match expectations. Although so far implemented on numerous occasions, that expected results from these measures and methods have not only fallen short, but rather that there have been reverse effects from action taken is quite clear from looking at the facts. The most convincing proof of this consequence is that each time these measures are conducted, their scope grows even wider. That adverse conditions result is because the fundamentals, the basis for the methods, are completely erroneous.
     The error lies in the point that contemporary medical science is overly bound by theory and ignores reality. As such, until this error is perceived, regardless of the effort expended on the problem, the current number of cases of tuberculosis will not decrease, but will only increase more and more. Not only a great loss to the nation, the burden on the individual is by no means light, and certainly immense will be the sacrifice of precious human life. I cannot stand by and idly watch these tragedies continue to unfold. I feel keenly that as promptly as possible I must awaken the world to the errors of medical science and convey what should be the true science of healing. Upon observation, the contemporary practices of medical science appear as if they were a bus being driven towards hell, deluded into thinking the bus was going to heaven. Nothing is so dangerous and these practices must be stopped immediately.
     This book is not meant to be propaganda for religion, but the religious color it carries is inevitable, as otherwise, communicating the principles of this revolutionary treatment for tuberculosis would be most difficult. In addition to religion, woven into this book are science and philosophy, so there should be some level from which the contemporary reader can approach and understand. This volume contains not only the theoretical underpinnings of this treatment but also reports filled with expressions of gratitude of tubercular patients from the many who are being saved every day. There are one hundred accounts of actual recoveries, so a perusal should convince. These reports have not been selected as being in any way remarkable, they have been taken in order of their receipt from the letters of appreciation that have arrived during the past several months. On file are countless other examples as well. Therefore, I do not hesitate to declare that if this treatment were adopted on a wide, public scale, tuberculosis would immediately start to gradually decline and that in several decades, Japan would become, unprecedented in the world, tubercular-free.
     That I can speak in such boastful terms, almost as if in a dream, shows the absolute conviction I have. If I were lying, my actions would be the defamation of medical science and the commission of a great crime that harms humanity. My words would be rejected by society, and it is most certain that I would be put away and done with forever. There is no way I would be foolish enough to commit such a suicidal act. But the best proof of my teachings and the validity of this treatment is the fact that each day can be seen to be increasing the numbers of individuals who rely upon this treatment which should not require lengthy explanation. Merely by the adoption of this treatment, tuberculosis, considered to be one of the most difficult problems in the world, would easily be solved. Having said that, though, I am sure the effects that such wonderful results will have on all the parties concerned with current tuberculosis treatment would not be small, but they would be unavoidable from the wider perspective of saving humanity.
