「文明の創造、科学篇」昭和27(1952)年
次に脳貧血を書いてみるが、これは脳溢血と反対であって、脳溢血は毒血が頭脳に入り、脳の血液が増えるに反し、これは脳の血液が減少のため発（おこ）る病気である。ではなぜ減少するかというと、人体は絶えず頭脳に向かって、送血されているので、これが一定量なら何事もないが、その量が減ると頭脳機能の活動が鈍る、それが脳貧血である。
右のごとく量が減るという事は、頭脳へ送血する血管が、頸の周りにある毒結の圧迫によるからで、この固結を溶解しなければ治らないのはもちろんである。ところが医学ではそれが不可能のため、一時的姑息手段を取るより致し方ないのである。かような訳で脳貧血の症状は頭痛、頭重、圧迫感、眩暈（めまい）等で、嘔吐感を伴う場合もあり、本当に嘔吐する事もある。中には汽車、電車、自動車の音を聴いただけでも、眩暈や嘔吐感を催す者もある。しかしこれは医学でもいうごとく、割に軽い病気で心配はないが、その割に苦痛が酷いものであるから、初めの内は相当神経を悩ますものである。
この病気を知るのは最も簡単である。発病するや目を瞑（つむ）り、額に油汗をかき、嘔吐感を催す等で、その際掌を額に当ててみると、普通より冷たいのでよく判るのである。そうして浄霊の場合、首の周囲を探ってみると、必ず固結があるから、そこを溶かせば間もなく快復する。また発病するや枕無しで仰臥すると、頭へ血が流れるから多少効果はある。今日最も多いとされている神経衰弱も、脳貧血が原因である事は言うまでもない。
睡眠不足
睡眠不足とよく言われるが、これは結果であって、睡眠困難というのが本当であろう。しかしこれも病気とは言えないが、病気の原因になる事が大いにあるから、仲々馬鹿にはならないものである。この原因は全く一種の脳貧血であって、延髄部に固結が出来、それが血管を圧迫し、脳貧血を起させ、睡眠不能となるのであるが、この固結は右側の方が多く、左側は少ないもので、これを溶かす事によって百発百中必ず治るのである。
ところがこの原因である脳貧血は、前頭部に限るので、なぜそれが睡眠困難の原因になるかというと、その部に霊が馮依するためであって、これについては最後の霊の項目に譲る事とする。しかしこの病気の恐ろしい事は、往々精神病の原因になるので、急速に治す必要がある。医学ではもちろん原因すら不明であるが、何よりも精神病の初めは、必ず睡眠不足が長く続くのである。従って睡眠が普通になると、治り始めるに見ても分るのである。
耳鳴
これも多い症状であるが、医学ではどうする事も出来ない。しかし別段命に関わる程の病気ではないから、大抵放って置くが割合辛いものである。この原因もやはり延髄部の固結で、これが不断の微弱な浄化によって、溶けるその音が耳に響くのであるから、これもその部の固結を溶解すれば液体となって、毒素はくしゃみによるかまたは自然に鼻汁となって出て快くなるのである。希（まれ）には耳下腺付近に固結が出来、その浄化のためである。
その他のもの
これは少ない病気だが、心臓が元で脳に影響する症状がある。それは心臓弁膜症などある人が、ちょっとした事で動悸と共に眩暈が起るので、これは何がためかというと、心臓の周囲すなわち胸部、横腹、肩胛骨下部等に固結のある場合、それに浄化微熱が発るので、心臓が昂奮し、頭脳に反射するからである。
次は歯に関する病気であるが、これは歯に付ける薬毒が浸透して、頭に上る場合、中耳炎の際の薬毒、扁桃腺や淋巴腺手術による消毒薬、眼病の際の点眼、注射、手術の消毒薬等が、頭脳までも冒すので、右いずれも慢性的頭脳の病原となるのであるが、その他にこういう事もある。それは背部や胸部等に出来た腫物を手術したため、その時の消毒薬が頭脳にまで浸透し固まるので、その手術が局部の前部、背部の関係で、前頭部または後頭部の悩みとなるのである。要するに上半身における手術の際の消毒薬が、頭脳の病原になる事が分ればいいのである。
扁桃腺炎
世間よく扁桃腺炎を根治する目的で、扁桃腺を除去する事が、常識のようになっているが、最近の学説によれば、扁桃腺は貴重なもので、除去しない方がよいとされて来たという事である。全く除去した結果は他に悪影響を及ぼす事が分ったからで、実に喜ばしい限りで、私が長年唱えて来た説が、漸く認められるようになったもので、満足に堪えないのである。
そこで扁桃腺という機能の意味から扁桃腺炎の原因についてかいてみるが、人間は誰しも上半身の毒素は、頸部淋巴腺に最も集中し易いので、そこに毒素の溜結が出来るので、大なり小なりこの溜結のない人はほとんどないといってよかろう。するとこの溜結毒素は出口を求めようとし、少しずつ溶解し、一旦固まるところが扁桃腺であるから、ある程度固まるや、高熱が出て溶解し、自然に穴が穿いて、毒素は排除されるのであるから、扁桃腺なるものは実に上半身毒素の掃け口とも云っていいもので、もし扁桃腺がなくなったとしたら、毒素は止むなく他の部に溜結する事になる。これが脳神経衰弱や中耳炎、歯痛、鼻の病気等の原因となるのであるから、結局小の虫を殺して、大の虫を助けるという結果になる。何よりも扁桃腺除去後数年間は風邪など引かないので効果あったように思われるが、何ぞ知らん年月が経つに従って色々な病気が発るのである。ところが、その原因が分らないため、仕方なしにいい加減な病名を付けるのである。
Main Disease: (7) Cerebral Anaemia and Others
Creation of Civilization written by Mokichi Okada in 1955
Now I describe cerebral anaemia. It is caused by the opposite condition to what cerebral haemorrhage occurs. Cerebral haemorrhage is caused when toxic blood flows into the brain so that the blood in the brain is increased, whereas cerebral anaemia is caused when the blood in the brain is decreased. Then, why is the blood decreased? In the human body, the blood is frequently sent towards the brain. Nothing happens when a certain amount of blood constantly flows into the brain. However, if the amount of blood is decreased, the brain activity slows down. This condition is called cerebral anaemia. Why is the amount of blood decreased? It is caused when blood vessels sending blood to the brain are oppressed by the toxic substances solidified around the neck. Therefore, cerebral anaemia cannot be cured unless these toxins are dissolved. That is no doubt. However, medical science cannot cure cerebral anaemia and has no other choice to do something for it temporarily. As for symptoms of cerebral anaemia, they are headache, heavy-headed, oppressive feeling, dizziness and so on. Some people might be accompanied by nausea or vomit, and some feel dizzy and nausea when they just hear the sound of trains and cars. As medical science even explains, this is a relatively slight disease so that you don’t have to worry. Considering this, however, it causes severe pain. Therefore, a patient becomes very nervous in the beginning. When a person suffers from cerebral anaemia, it is easily found out by following conditions such as closing eyes, sweating on the brow, feeling nauseous. Especially, when you touch the forehead in those conditions, it is colder than usual. When a person suffers from cerebral anaemia, one must have solidified substance around the neck. Therefore, you just perform Johrei towards there. Then, the substance will be dissolved and the patient will be soon recovered from the disease. When a person lies on one’s back without using a pillow soon after suffering from cerebral anaemia, the blood will flow into the brain so that one will get a little better. Nowadays, many people are said to suffer from a nervous breakdown. It is, needless to say, caused by cerebral anaemia.
Sleep Deprivation
People often say ‘insufficient sleep’ but must say ‘difficulty sleeping’. It is because difficulty sleeping causes a person to sleep insufficiently. It couldn’t be called a disease but often becomes the cause of disease so that it is a considerable matter. Sleep deprivation is a kind of cerebral anaemia. When a substance is solidified around medulla oblongata, it oppresses the blood vessel and causes cerebral anaemia. Consequently, a person becomes unable to sleep. This toxin usually solidifies on the right side of medulla oblongata rather than on the left. When it is dissolved, sleep deprivation never fails to be recovered. As for the cerebral anaemia causing sleep deprivation, however, it occurs only on the forehead. Then, why does it so? It is because spirits possess there. I will explain it later in ‘Religion Part’ of this book. In any case, since sleep deprivation often causes mental disease, it is terrible and has to be cured as soon as possible. Of course, medical science doesn’t even find out the cause of it. More than anything, a person suffers from a lack of sleep for a long time. This symptom is the beginning of the mental disease. Therefore, if one becomes able to sleep, one is gradually recovered from the mental disease. This proves it well.
Ear Noises
This is also a common symptom but medical science does nothing to do with it. It is not a life-threatening disease and usually left as it is, but it has a relatively severe symptom. This is also caused by the substance solidified around medulla oblongata. When the substance is dissolved, the sound of dissolving it echoes in the ear. To cure ear noises, the solidified substance must be dissolved. When it is dissolved into liquid, the toxins are naturally discharged as a sneeze or runny nose. Then the symptom will get better. Ear noises might be caused when the substance is solidified around the parotid gland and then purified. This is, however, a rare case.
Tonsillitis
Generally speaking, it is common that a tonsil is removed to cure tonsillitis completely. According to recent medical theory, however, a tonsil has an important function and is not better to be removed. Medical science has finally found that other parts of the body are badly affected by removing a tonsil. In this way, what I have preached for a long time is finally recognised. I feel very satisfied. Now, I describe the cause of tonsillitis by explaining how a tonsil works. For everyone, toxins in the upper parts of the body are most easily concentrated into cervical lymph nodes. Therefore, there would be no one who doesn’t have more or less accumulated substances there. Then the accumulated toxic substances are dissolved and once solidified to be discharged. The place where toxins are once accumulated is a tonsil. When a certain amount of toxins is solidified, a person has a high fever, the tonsil naturally has a hole and the toxins are discharged. For this reason, it is not too much to say a tonsil is the exit of toxins in the upper part of the body. If a tonsil is removed, toxins have to accumulate in the other part of the body. Then these toxins cause cranial nerve breakdown, otitis media, toothache, nose disease and so on. It results in as if sacrifice small things to save great ones after all. The following fact shows it well; a person has not caught a cold for a few years after a tonsil is removed. It seems that the removal of the tonsil is effective. However, one suffers from various diseases as time has passed. Since medical science doesn’t find the cause of them, they have to diagnose the patient as an inaccurate cause of disease.
Other Diseases
This is not common but there is a symptom affecting the brain which is caused by heart diseases. A person, who suffers from such a heart valve disease or so, happens to feel dizzy along with a palpitation over slight things. Why does it happen? If the person has toxins around the heart, or specifically the chest, flank, lower scapula and so on, purification occurs and causes slight fever. Then it stimulates the heart and then reflects the brain. The next are diseases related to teeth. The brain is affected by such things as a toxin which is applied on the teeth and then rises into the brain, toxic medicine causing infection of the middle ear, disinfectant for the surgery of a tonsil, a lymph gland or so, eye drops for eye disease, injection and so on. All of them become the cause of chronic brain diseases. Here I explain another disease. When a patient is removed a swelling formed in the back, chest or so, the disinfectant used for the surgery even permeates into the brain and solidifies. When the operation is provided on the front side of the body, one will have some trouble in one’s forehead. When providing on the backside, one will have trouble in the back of one’s head. In short, you just know that brain diseases are caused by the disinfectant used for the surgery of the upper part of the body.
