「文明の創造、科学篇」昭和27(1952)年
一口に婦人病といっても、種類の多いのは衆知のごとくであるが、何といっても子宮病が主であろう。子宮の役目としては、月経と妊娠の二つであるが、月経についての病気といえば、まず月経痛と月経不順であるが、前者は月経時、一日ないし数日にわたって、多少の痛みがある。これは何が原因かというと、経血が喇叭（らっぱ）管を通ろうとする際、喇叭管の入口が狭いので、拡がろうとするその痛みである。なぜ喇叭管口が狭いかというと、下腹部のその辺に毒結があり、圧迫しているからで、これを溶解排除させれば容易に治るのである。もちろん医学ではどうにもならないので、長年苦しんでいる女性もよくあり、実に可愛想というの外はない。
また月経不順と一口に言うが、これには遅れ勝ちと不規則なのと、経血の多い少ないとがあるが、この原因のほとんどは貧血及び濁血のためであって、真の健康にさえなれば必ず順調になるのである。ここで是非知っておかねばならない事は、結核患者の月経異常である。これは月経が普通にある間は、病気は軽い証拠で、決して心配はないが、病気が進むに従い貧血し漸次量が減って遅れ勝ちとなり、末期に至ると例外なく無月経となるのであるから、婦人患者の結核の軽重を知るには、月経によるのが最も正確である。ついでに今一つの関連した事であるが、病気が重くなり、月経が減る頃は陰毛まで抜け、最後には無毛となる者さえある。
次は妊娠であるが、これは婦人にとっては病気ではなく、むしろ健康な証拠であるが、近頃は妊娠するや婦人の多くは、喜ぶよりも反って恐れたり心配したりするが、これも一面無理はない、なぜなれば妊娠中色々な故障や病気が起り易いからで、大抵の人は悪阻（つわり）の苦しみはもちろん、結核、バセドー氏病等のある人は、医師は危険であるとして、人工流産させたり、また人によっては出産となるや、難産の場合さえあるので、本当に安心の出来る人などまずないといってもよかろう。これについて考えなければならない事は、右のような種々の障害は実は変則であって、恐らく昔の婦人はそういう事は余りなかったようで、記録等にも見当らないのである。としたら医学の進歩とは逆効果で、理屈に合わない話だが、これがすなわち医学の盲点である。逆効果とは全く薬剤のためであって薬剤多用者程成績が悪いのである。しかも自分ばかりではなく、早産、死産の外、生まれた赤ん坊にまで影響するので、近年多い弱体嬰児（えいじ）や発育不良がそれである。そうして本当から言えば婦人が妊娠し、子を産むという事は、婦人に与えられた立派な役目であるから順調に経過し、無事に出産するのが当然であり、故障など起るはずがないのに、起るというのはそこに何らか間違った点があるからで、その間違った点に気が付き改めればいいので、今それらについて詳しくかいてみよう。
妊娠の場合、最も悩みとされているのは悪阻であろう。この症状は今更説明の要のない程誰も知っているが、重いのになると生命までも危なくなるので、仲々馬鹿にならないものである。この原因も医学では判っていないが、これは至極簡単な理由である。すなわち子宮が膨脹する場合邪魔しているものがある。それは臍部から胃にかけての毒素の溜結で、それが膨脹のため、その排除作用が起る。これが悪阻であって、何よりも頻繁な嘔吐によってそれが排除されるのである。この毒素は然毒と薬毒とであって、出るだけ出てしまえば完全に治るが、医学では原因も判らず、判っても出す方法がないから、気休め程度の手段か、堕胎させる以外方法はないのである。
その他よくあるものに妊娠腎がある。もちろん症状は浮腫（むくみ）であるが、これは医学でも言う通り、腎臓障害すなわち腎臓萎縮である。この原因もさきにかいたごとく、平常から腎臓背部に毒結がありその圧迫があるところへ、妊娠のため前方からも圧迫されるので、腎臓は言わば挟み打ちとなって萎縮し、全部の尿が処理されず、溢れて浮腫となるのであるから、背部の毒結を浄霊溶解すれば、腎臓の負担が軽くなり、治るのは当然である。ところが医学ではどうする事も出来ないので、重症の場合親の生命には代えられぬとして人工流産させるが、せっかく出来た大切な赤子を犠牲にするのだから、実に気の毒な話である。しかもこの時は大抵八、九ケ月頃であるから、なおさら親は悲嘆に暮れるのである。
ここで妊娠についての医学の考え方についてかいてみるが、前述のごとく結核やバセドー氏病等の病気のある婦人に対し、危険として流産させるのは大いに間違っている。何となれば妊娠するという事は、その人の健康状態が無事に出産出来るだけの体力があるからで、言わば母になる資格が具（そなわ）っている訳である。そうでなければ、決して妊娠するはずはない。これらも医学の考え方が唯物一方に偏しているからで、人間本来の神性を無視し、動物と同一視する誤りである。これは理窟ではない。私は今まで右の理由によって、妊娠した婦人に、どんな持病があっても差支えないと、ただ浄霊だけでことごとく無事に出産させ、一人の過ちさえなかったのである。この事だけでも、医学の考え方を、大いに変えなければならないと思うのである。
次に婦人病の個々についてかいてみるが、何と言っても子宮の病が王座を占めている。まず子宮内膜炎であるが、これは子宮の内壁に加答児（カタル）が出来る。つまり毒素が下降して、子宮内壁から排除されようとする湿疹のようなものであり、今一つは下降毒素が内壁の粘膜を刺戟し、加答児を発（おこ）させるので、どちらも気長に放っておけば必ず治るのである。ところが滑稽なのは、この際よく掻爬（そうは）をするが、これは何にもならない。というのはホンの一時的の効果で、毒素のある間は後から後から汚すからである。これについて私はいつもいう事は、子宮掻爬は歯糞を除るようなもので、物を食えば直に汚れると同様で、それも歯を磨くくらいの簡単な事ならいいが、婦人として最も羞恥の場所を指で触れさせるのであるから、断然廃めた方がいいと思う。また子宮実質炎というのは、子宮の周囲に毒素溜結し、それに浄化が起って、微熱、軽痛、不快感等で、これも放っておいても治るが、浄霊すれば短期間で全治するのである。
よく不妊娠の場合、子宮後屈とか前屈とかいって手術を勧めるが、なるほどこれは子宮の位置が不良となり、子宮口が外れるので、妊娠不能となるのは、医学のいう通りである。では前後屈の原因は何かというと、毒素溜結が子宮の前か後からか圧迫するためで、医学は手術によってその毒素を除り、一時は正常な位置に復すが、日を経るに従い再び毒素が溜結、元通りになるので、一時的効果としたら、大袈裟な手術までするのはツマラヌ話である。今一つ考えて貰いたい事は、よく医学の診断で、後屈のため妊娠不能と云われた者が、手術もせずそのままにしておいて、妊娠した例もよく聞くのである。以前私は大学病院でそういわれた婦人が、その後三人の子を生んだという事を本人から聞いたのであるが、これなども医学の研究がまだ不充分であるからで、多くの人に迷惑をかける以上、充分確信を得るまでは、言わない方が良心的だと思うのである。
次は子宮癌であるが、真症は滅多にないもので、普通医師から子宮癌の診断を受けた者でも、ほとんど癌ではなく、子宮外部に溜った濁血の塊である。そうして医学では更年期以後出血がある場合は、まず癌の疑いを起せと言われるそうだが、私の経験上この説は誤りである。なぜなればその年頃癌と診断された患者を、今まで幾人も浄霊したが、間もなく大量の出血があり、癌とされていた手に触るる程の塊も消散してしまうからである。これによってみても子宮癌と診断された患者は、ほとんど経血の古い塊と思えば、まず間違いあるまい。これらも医学が今一層進歩したら必ず分る時が来るに違いない。
次に子宮筋腫であるが、これはその名のごとく子宮を牽引している両側の筋が、腫れるというよりも、その一部に固結が出来るので、その浄化による苦痛であって、医療は手術によって除去するが、幸いそれで治る場合もあるにはあるが、多くはその付近に再発しがちである。この病気も浄霊によれば根治されるが、相当日数を要するものである。
次に卵巣の病気であるが、これはほとんど卵巣膿腫と卵巣水腫とであって、症状もよく似ている。ただ固い柔らかいがあり、人により軽重の差もはなはだしい。従って悪性かまたは医療の結果によってはすこぶる膨大となり、臨月よりも大きくなる場合がある。医療では手術によって割合容易に除去され得るが、これで卵巣だけの病気は治るが、他に影響を及ぼすから厄介である。最も始末の悪いのは性格が一変する事で、一つなら左程でもないが、二つとも除去されると、ほとんど男性化してしまうと共に、一生涯不妊となるのは言うまでもない。この外目に障害を起す事もあり、盲目同様になる者さえある。また何となく身体全体が弱り、人生観まで変って、陰欝（いんうつ）になったり自棄的となったりする。現在医学では手術より方法がないから止むを得ないが、これも浄霊によれば完治するのである。原因は薬毒と萎縮腎による余剰尿が溜るので、前者は膿腫となり、後者は水腫となるので、いずれも腎臓の活動を促進させれば治るのである。
ここで婦人病について、根本原因を書いてみるが、もともと婦人病の一切は、体内に保有している毒素が、漸次下降するためであって、下腹部に溜れば子宮、卵巣、喇叭管、膀胱等の障害となり、なお下降すれば痔疾、並びに一般陰部の病原となるので、これらは後にかく不感症の原因中に詳説するから、ここでは婦人によくある白帯下（こしけ）についてのみかいてみるが、元来婦人の白帯下は非常に多いもので、随分悩んでいる人もあるが、実はこれは非常によいのである。というのは諸々の毒素が液体となって排泄されるからで、出るだけ出れば下腹部全体は、非常に快くなるものである。それを知らない医師も一般人も心配して停めようとするが、これが最も悪く、反って病気を保存させるようなものであるから、注意すべきである。
次に近来大分喧（やかま）しく云われているものに彼の不感症があるが、これは医学でも全然判っていないし、婦人にとってはこれ程将来の運命に関わる重要なものはないから、なるべく詳しくかいてみよう。人も知る通りせっかく結婚しても、何より肝腎な夫からの愛情を受入れ難いので、どうしても夫婦円満にゆかず破綻を生じ易いのである。そうでなければ夫は外に愛人を作ったり、また不妊になったりするので、結局不幸な運命になる婦人が案外多いようである。としたら何としても全治させなければならないが、困った事にはこれを人に相談する訳にもゆかずといって医療では全然治せないから、満足な家庭も作り得ず、独身者より外（ほか）道はない事により、独り悶々の日を送っている女性も少なくないようで、実に同情に堪えないのである。ところが浄霊によれば必ず治るのであるから、女性にとってこれ程の大きな福音はあるまい。ではまずその原因その他についてかいてみるが、一番の原因は言うまでもなく萎縮腎であって、腎臓は医学でもいうごとく、ホルモンの製造元であるから、腎臓が萎縮すれば活動が鈍り、ホルモンが不足となる。それはさきにかいたごとく、腎臓背部にある固結のためであるから、それを溶かせば治るのである。また今一つの原因は、陰部を中心に周囲全体に絶えず下降する毒素が溜る事である。そのため下腹部に溜れば、前述のごとく子宮はじめ、種々の障害となり、なお下降すれば痔疾、膣痙攣、掻痒症、粘膜の加答児（カタル）、尿道障害、全面的湿疹や糜爛（びらん）、痛み、臭気、不快感等に苦しむのである。特に摂護腺部に腫れや固結が出来たり、左右のいずれかの大小陰唇部に毒結が出来、それが鼠蹊部にまで及んで、足の運動を妨げられたりする。特に摂護腺部の故障は大いに悪いが、これらすべての診断は、自分自身で押してみればよく判る。必ず痛みまたは塊がある。といっても場所が場所だけに、浄霊も自分かまたは夫に行って貰えば、それで結構治ってゆくのである。但し相当長引くから、そのつもりで気長に根気よくやれば段々快くなってゆき、希望も湧くと共に、必ず全治するものである。以上のごとくであるから、この事を知ったなら、いかに天下の女性は喜ぶであろうか、これ程素晴らしい救いはないであろう。
Main Disease: (10) Female Diseases
Creation of Civilization, written by Mokichi Okada in 1952
When I simply say female diseases, there are many types of them as everyone knows but uterine diseases would be most common. The main functions of the uterus are menstruation and pregnancy. As for the diseases related to menstruation, they are firstly menstrual pain and irregularity. The former causes some pain for a day or a few days during menstruation. It is because the beginning of a fallopian tube is not wide enough when menstrual blood passes through it. Consequently, the fallopian tube has to expand, which causes pain. Then why does it become narrow? It is because there are solidified toxins around where a fallopian tube exists in the lower abdomen and they press it. Therefore, when those toxins are melted and discharged, menstrual pain will be easily cured. Since medical science certainly cannot help it at all, many women have suffered from period pains for a long time. I do feel very sorry for them.
When I also simply say menstrual irregularity, there are some types. They are delayed and irregular menstruation, and heavy and light menstrual bleeding. Most of them are caused by anaemia and impure blood. When a person truly becomes healthy, she will be steadily and surely cured. Here I must tell you the relation between tuberculosis and menstrual disorder. While tuberculosis patients have a period, as usual, the symptom is mild and there is no need to worry. As the disease gets worse, however, they become anaemic. Then the amount of menstruation is reduced and the period tends to be delayed. In the end, they have no period without exception. Therefore, to know whether a woman suffers from tuberculosis tolerantly or not, you just ask her if her menstruation is normal or not. That would be the most reliable way. I also explain another thing related to tuberculosis. By the time a patient becomes severely ill and nearly have no menstruation, she is losing her pubic hair. Some patients have lost all of it in the end.
Now I move to the subject of pregnancy. For women, it is not a disease but rather a sign of their health. Nevertheless, nowadays most of the women who become pregnant are fear or worried rather than glad about it. It is no wonder in a certain way as they are prone to various troubles and diseases while they are pregnant. Most of them are sure to suffer from morning sickness. If they are suffering from tuberculosis or Basedow’s disease or so, gynaecologists think they are in danger and terminate their pregnancies. Some women might have difficult childbirth, too. Therefore, there would be no pregnant women who can be truly relieved. Considering these troubles as above, they occur irregularly indeed. In old days, they were probably rare cases. We cannot find such cases in the documents or so. That is just the opposite result of the advancement in medical science. It doesn’t make sense but it is the blind spot of medical science. This opposite result is caused by the medicine. The more a pregnant woman has had medicine, the more she has troubles. Worse still, it affects not only herself but also her newborn baby. She might also give birth prematurely, or have a stillbirth. In recent years, many children are weak or underdeveloped. They are affected by the medicine their mother had. A woman has pregnant and gives birth, which is a great role given to her by rights. It is natural that everything is going well and she safely gives birth. Therefore, there must be no failure happening at all. If troubles occur, there must be something wrong. Only you have to do is just to notice and revise the wrong thing. Now I will thoroughly explain this.
When a woman becomes pregnant, she suffers from morning sickness. It would be the biggest worry for her. I don’t think I need to explain it since everyone knows it, but we should not ignore it. It is because it will be harmful to her life if she has severe morning sickness. Medical science has not found the cause of morning sickness, too. However, it causes for a very simple reason. It is obstacles that disturb uterine expansion. They solidify toxins accumulated in the part from the navel to the stomach. When the uterine expands, the toxins start to be excreted which causes morning sickness. They are excreted by frequent vomiting. These toxins are divided into two types; inherited toxin and toxic medicine. When all toxins are excreted, morning sickness will be completely cured. However, medical science cannot find the cause. Even if it finds the cause, it has no way to excrete them. Therefore, it has no choice to do something for comfort or terminating a pregnancy.
Other than morning sickness, a pregnant woman often suffers from kidney disease, which causes swelling. As medical science also explains, this is kidney disorder or nephrosclerosis. As I previously explained, a person regularly has solidified toxins on her backside of the kidney and it presses the kidney. When she becomes pregnant, the kidney is also pressed from the front. It is as if the kidney is attacked on both sides. As a result, it becomes atrophied and cannot process all urine. Then unprocessed urine leaks out, which causes the swelling. Therefore, when toxins accumulated in the backside are dissolved by performing Johrei, the burden on the kidney is reduced and the swelling will be cured. However, medical science cannot do anything but terminate the pregnancy. The life of a mother cannot be replaced when her symptom is very serious. Therefore, a precious unborn baby is sacrificed. What a pitiful story it is! Worse still, it happens when a person is about eight or nine months pregnant. The parents feel overcome with sorrow even more.
Here I explain how medical science considers pregnancy. As I previously described, if a pregnant woman is suffering from tuberculosis or Basedow’s disease or so, she is thought to be in danger and she has to have an abortion. That is very much wrong. A woman becomes pregnant as she has enough physical strength to give birth safely. In a word, she can become a mother. If she doesn’t, she will never become pregnant. Since the idea of medical science is based on the materialistic view, it ignores the divine nature which human beings originally have and equates them with animals. It is wrong. This is not a theory. I have had pregnant women give birth safely only by performing Johrei, no matter what kind of chronic diseases they have. At that time, they were suffering from such diseases as I described above but I never failed for them to give birth. Form this experience of mine, I think the idea of medical science should be changed.
Now I describe other female diseases individually. Among them, the most common disease is related to the uterus. To begin with, it is endometritis, which causes catarrh on the inner wall of the uterus. In a word, toxins go down and then they are excreted from the inner wall of the uterus. They are like eczema. They also stimulate the mucous membrane of the inner wall, which causes catarrh, too. Whichever causes endometritis, it will be certainly cured when a person patiently leaves it as it is. When catarrh is caused, a curettage is often operated. It is rather funny. There is no point in doing it as it works only briefly and catarrh is repeatedly caused until all toxins are excreted. Concerning this, I always say that curettage is like removing dental plaque. When a person eats something, teeth will have plaque. There is no problem if it is as simple as brushing teeth. However, a woman has to allow to touch the most embarrassing part of her body if curettage is operated on. I think she should never do so. As for myometritis, it is caused by solidified toxins accumulated around the uterus. When purification occurs, a person has such symptoms as a slight fever and pain, discomfort and so on. When it is also left as it is, it will be cured. If you perform Johrei for this disease, it will be completely cured in a short period.
When a woman suffers from retroflexion or anteflexion of the uterus, it is regarded as the cause of infertility in medical science and she is recommended to have an operation. It is true, as medical science says, that it causes infertility because the uterus is not in a normal position and the cervix becomes out of position. Then why are retroflexion and anteflexion of the uterus caused? It is because accumulated and solidified toxins press the uterus from the front or backside. In medical science, the toxins are removed by surgery and the uterus once returns to its normal position. As time passes, however, toxins accumulate and solidify again, and the uterus eventually returns to the previous position. Since it temporarily affects removing toxins, undergoing such a major surgery is pointless. Then I would like you to think of another case. Many women are diagnosed with infertility due to retroflexion uterus in medical science. However, I’ve often heard some of them did become pregnant while leaving their symptom as it was. There is a woman who was diagnosed with such symptom above at a university hospital but delivered three babies afterwards. I heard about this story from her. This case shows how medical research is insufficient. Therefore, I think it is better that such a decision should not be done until it becomes very clear, otherwise it causes trouble to many women.
Now I move on to another female disease or uterine cancer. Few women suffer from genuine uterine cancer, even if they are those who are diagnosed with uterine cancer by a doctor. They just have the clot of impure blood accumulated outside of the uterus. If a woman has bleeding after menopause, she is said to be first suspected of having cancer in medical science. That is wrong from my experience. I have performed Johrei to many women who were diagnosed with uterine cancer after menopause. They had heavy bleeding soon after receiving Johrei. Then the lump considered as cancer, which is big enough to touch with hands, completely disappeared. From these experiences, most of the women, who are diagnosed with uterine cancer, have the colt of old menstrual blood instead of having cancer. We will make no errors if we think so. Medical science will realise this truth when it progresses further in the future.
Then I explain uterine fibroid. As this name implies, a part of muscles, which pull the uterus from both sides, forms a solidified substance rather than becomes swelling. When purification occurs on it, it causes pain. This symptom is called a uterine fibroid. The substance is removed by surgery in medical science. Some women, fortunately, might be cured after the surgery but most of them tend to have another fibroid near the part where the substance was removed. This disease will be also cured by Johrei, although it takes a great number of days.
Then I explain ovarian diseases, most of which are ovarian cyst and blister. Their symptoms are quite similar but they just depend on person to person whether it becomes hard or soft and the symptom is severe or mild. Therefore, it might grow due to a malignant tumour or the result of medical treatment. In some cases, the ovary might grow as if a person is pregnant and very near her time. Under medical treatment, the ovary is relatively easily removed by surgery so that the disease related to the ovary never occurs. However, it causes trouble to have bad influences on the patient. The worst thing is that the person’s character changes completely by the excision surgery. It will affect her a little if only one ovary is removed, but if two of them are removed, she will become like a man, and needless to say, impossible to give birth forever. Besides, it causes visual disorder and worse still a person might become blind. Someone might become in poor health and their perspectives have changed. They eventually become depressed and desperate. It is unavoidable as there is no way to cure the disease other than excision surgery in the present medical science. If only you perform Johrei, however, they are completely cured, too. Ovarian diseases are caused by accumulated toxic medicine and unprocessed urine due to nephrosclerosis. The former causes an ovarian cyst and the latter causes an ovarian blister. Both of them are cured by promoting kidney activity.
Here I explain the root cause of female diseases. All of the female diseases are originally caused by toxins in the body, which steadily go down. When they accumulate in the lower abdomen, they cause the disorder of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tube, bladder and so on. When they go further down, they become the cause of haemorrhoids and general genital area diseases. I will explain them in detail later at the part of the causes of sexual insensitivity. Then I explain vaginal discharge. Many women have vaginal discharge and are very worried about it. To tell the truth, it is very good for them as a variety of toxins are discharged as a liquid. When all toxins are discharged, a person will become very well in the whole part of the lower abdomen. Nevertheless, doctors and general people are very anxious about it and try to stop it as they don’t know the truth. This is the worst thing. It causes the opposite result that they keep their disease in their bodies. You have to be careful.
Now I move to another disease which is recently often said. It is sexual insensitivity. Since its cause is completely uncertain in medical science and nothing is more important than it for women’s future, I explain it thoroughly as much as possible. As you know, if a woman suffers from sexual insensitivity, it is hard to accept affection from her husband when she gets married. She can hardly live a harmonious marriage and then the marriage easily fails. If such things happen, her husband might have affair or their relationships become sexless. Therefore, many women become doomed to unhappiness after all. If so, they should be completely cured at any cost. However, they cannot ask someone for advice and this disease cannot be cured by medical science. That is a problem. Consequently, they think that they have no choice to become a spinster as they cannot make a happy home. There are quite a few women who pass the days alone while suffering from such mental agony. I cannot help but pity them. However, this is sure to be cured by performing Johrei so that nothing is no greater gospel than this for women. Then I describe the cause and other things of sexual insensitivity first. The major cause of it is, needless to say, nephrosclerosis. As medical science also explains, the hormone is originally produced in the kidney. When the kidney becomes shrunken, it becomes inactive and produces less hormone. As I previously described the reason the kidney becomes shrunken is, it is caused by solidified substances on the backside of the kidney. Therefore, when they are melted, the disease will be cured. Another cause is the toxins which constantly go down and accumulate with the focus on and all around the genital area. When they accumulate in the lower abdomen, they cause various disorders of the uterus and so on, as I described above. When they go further down, a person suffers from haemorrhoids, vaginal spasm, pruritus, mucous catarrh, urethral disorders, eczema and erosion of the genital area, pain, odour, discomfort and so on. Especially when a swelling or solidified substance forms on skein’s gland, or toxic substance forms on the right or left part of labia majora or labia minora and they extend to the groin, they disturb foot movement. The disorders of the groin are especially very bad. When a person presses these parts, she will find where is suffered. She must feel pain or touch a lump there. Since her special part is suffered, it is she or her husband who just performs Johrei. If they do so, the disease will fairly get better. However, it takes a long time to be cured. When they patiently keep performing Johrei for that purpose, she will gradually feel better and see the bright side of her life, and her disease is surely cured. When women know what I explained above all, how delighted they would be. There would be no more wonderful salvation than this.
