Ridiculing the New Miracle Drugs for Tuberculosis

     Recently in the United States a new medicine called Rimifon (Isonicotinic acid and Hydrazide) has been invented which is said to kill tubercle bacilli in the human body within a very short period and to bring relief from the disease quickly. News of the drug appears to have made quite a stir throughout the world, but the drug itself is still being tested. Formal announcement of Rimifon’s appearance will not be made until June of this year, but, if the drug conforms to all expectation, it will probably cause great sensation as a savior. This sensation will only be temporary, and as time goes by, Rimifon will fade into oblivion as can be probably understood from the examples of all the new drugs that have appeared to date. From this progression of failed drugs, what can definitely be stated is that no mistake would it be to say that no matter what kind of tremendous new drugs appear from now on, their life will be temporary and their efficacy, ultimately useless. Since my statements most likely will not be accepted, I will explain clearly my reasons for them, and there is no doubt that all who read this will nod in acknowledgment.
     Professionals in the fields of contemporary medical science have the superficial idea that if tubercle bacilli can be destroyed, the problem of tuberculosis will be solved. This shallow view is inevitable as medical science does not understand fundamentals, but what deserves deep consideration here is that as the tubercle bacilli is not something that has fallen from heaven nor is it something that has welled itself up from the ground, it is certain that the tubercle bacilli has been generated from some place for some reason. Since medical science has not progressed to the point where it understands this point, the amount of effort it wastes cannot begin to be estimated. We, however, do understand this basic principle, so we wish to teach the fundamentals.
     First of all, as I have always taught, the human being is composed of two important aspects, the visible physical body and the invisible spirit. This is the truth of all creation and there is nothing that is excepted. Heaven and earth, yin and yang, day and night, fire and water, sun and moon, light and dark, and so forth, are also so constituted. Thus, the human body is the same, and in the case of disease, disease begins first with the generation of clouds on the spirit. Cloud is the state of non transparency that the transparent spirit becomes. Of course, as spirit does not appear to the physical eyes, the composition and workings of spirit are not at all understood by science, but in scientific terms, the essences of spirit and clouds consist of infinitesimally small particles, elements finer even than air. The physical body, though, is constantly purifying itself naturally, so that cloud is gradually shrunk, changing to thicker consistency, and solidifying in local areas of the body. Of course, the essence of cloud is an amalgamation of the spirit of water, hydrogen, just like a cloud in the sky. When this amalgamation of spirit of water has solidified to an extreme level, one form of bacteria is generated. This bacteria is somewhat like inorganic vegetable matter and with the passage of time, this bacteria gives birth to and develops, changing into organic form. This organic form is the “eggs” of germs, and as these eggs gradually develop, they become a form of living organism. This organism is the germ, and soon will come the time when this germ is visible under a microscope. What we know as virus are the eggs of germs, and that these germs themselves becomes parents that cause disease in the human body is a fact recognized even by medical science.
     Even if all germs could be exterminated on the basis of the reasoning I outline above, it would only be an extermination of the result, so as long as germs are continually produced without limit, true healing of disease will not occur. Therefore, it is the very extermination of cloud which is the generating point of disease that is the fundamental method for resolving disease. It is more than obvious that there can be no other way to eliminate disease. It is quite clear that in accord with this line of thinking, methods that attack only germs produce merely temporary results, and in the end, are meaningless. Because Johrei of World Messianity, however, is a method that eliminates cloud that is the origin of disease, it is a true healing art. Consequently, no matter how much research on the basis of modern medical theory as currently conducted is pursued, all efforts are vain and fruitless labor. Thus, it is my desire to convey as soon as possible the truth to and to awaken all those involved in medical theory and treatment throughout the world.
