「文明の創造、科学篇」昭和27(1952)年
私は、今迄現代医学に於ける、凡ゆる誤謬の点を指摘して来たが、茲で最も重要なる点は、人間をして人形扱いにしている事である。というのは医学には種々の科目がある。内科、外科、脳神経科、泌尿器科、皮膚科、婦人科、小児科、眼科、耳鼻咽喉科、歯科というように、それぞれ専門部門に分れている。又右の科目中、内科にしても結核、胃腸病、心臓病等、夫々専門的に分れている。
そうかと思うと、基礎医学と称し、学問的研究にのみ一生涯没頭している人もある。彼のモルモットや二十日鼠を相手に、毎日顕微鏡と首ッ引きで余念がない。世間よくモルモット博士などと言われているのは誰も知る処で、其他臨床専門で、読んで字の如く、直接病人の脈を年中とっている人もある。又予防医学といって主に伝染病予防をはじめ、社会衛生、個人衛生等に専念している人もある。
次に療法に於ても色々の種類がある。薬剤の服用注射は固より、手術、電気、マッサージの外、光線療法、物理療法、精神療法等々があるかと思えば、皇漢医術あり、各種の民間療法あり、禁厭（まじない）、祈祷宗教による事もある。ザット数えただけでも右の通りであるから、実に複雑多岐種類の多い事驚く程である。此様になった原因は、全く本当に治るものがなかったからで、若し真に治る療法があったとしたら、それ一つで解決がついている筈である。
そうして医学の最も間違っている点は、人体を人形と同様に見る事である。というのは抑々人体なるものは、一個の綜合体であって四肢五体バラバラのものを、繋ぎ合せて作られたものではない。従って一部分に病気が発るという事は、其部分だけではなく、各部分に関連があるのである。例えば手足が悪いという事は、手足だけが悪いのではなく、手足以外の他の部分即ち甲の部分に原因があり、それが乙に移り、又丙に表われるというように何処迄も連繋している。
仮に歯が弱いという事は、全身が弱いからで、全身が弱いまま歯だけ丈夫にする事は絶対不可能である。女性の結核患者が病気が進むと、必ず無月経となるが、之も結核による貧血の為であり、腸が弱い人は必ず胃が弱く、胃の弱い人は肺が弱く、肺の弱い人は心臓が弱いというようにどこ迄も相互関係である。
一番判り易い例は仮に人間を一国家としてみても判る。其国家の政府の政策が悪ければ、国民全般が悪影響を受けると同様、人体の中央政府である心臓が悪いとしたら、身体全部が悪くなる。国家が不景気、金詰り、物資不足などというのは人体なれば栄養不足で貧血状態という訳である。そうして単なる痛みと難も、それが頭脳を刺戟し、心臓に影響するから、胃にも影響し、食欲不振となり、腸が弱り、便秘、疲労等、全身的に影響を及ぼすのである。又肺炎に罹るや、若し肺のみの病気とすれば、肺だけの熱で、他に影響はない筈だが、実際は其熱の為全身的に苦痛が及ぶにみても明かである。
次に数種の実例をかいてみよう。
（一）二十歳位の女性右の歯が非常に痛むので浄霊した処、間もなく痛みは止まったが、翌日又痛いと言って来た。普通の歯の痛みなら一回で治る筈だが、まだ治らないのは他に原因があると思って、歯のすぐ下部から順次下方へ向って押してみると、胸部に固結があり痛いというので、其固結を溶かすと直に治ったが、翌日又来てまだ痛いという。私は不思議に思って、尚下部へ向って段々押してゆくと、盲腸部が非常に痛いというので、そこを浄霊した処、それですっかり治ったので、訊いてみると、以前盲腸を手術したという。それで判った事は、其時の消毒薬が固結し、浄化が起ってそれが胸部を通って歯茎から排泄しようとした其痛みであった。之にみても歯痛の原因が盲腸部であったという事は、実に想像もつかないのである。
（二）二十幾歳の男子結核三期で咳と痰が非常に出るので、いつもの通り頭、首、肩等を浄霊したが、余り効果がないのでよく査べた処、意外にも両股、鼠蹊部にグリグリがあって、そこが可成の発熱があり、押すと非常に痛いという、ハハアー之だなと思って、其処を浄霊した処、一ケ月位で全治したのである。その時私は｢君の肺は股に付いていたんだね｣と言って笑ったのである。
処がそれに就て面白い事があった。有名な某医学博士に此話をした処、首を傾げているので｢じゃー試しに貴方の股を診てあげましょう｣と言って仰臥させ、押した処小さいグリグリがあり、微熱もあるので浄霊するや忽ち咳と痰が出たので、唖然として不思議の一語より出なかった。其医博は今でも某大学の教授をしている。
（三）中年の男子胆石病で苦しんでいたので右背面腎臓を見ると、大きな固結があるので之だなと思って、数回に亘って溶した処、それで治って了った。
（四）脱肛や痔核で苦しんでいる人の股をみると、必ずグリグリがある、それを溶かすと治るので、原因は股にある事を知ったのである。処が痔出血や赤痢の原因は、頭部の毒血が溶解下降する為であるから、何よりも頭部を浄霊すれば治ると共に、出血後は頭部が軽快になるのでよく判る。
（五）頭痛、頭重や精神集注力が乏しい人は、左右何れかの頚部淋巴腺又は延髄部に必ずグリグリがあって、そこに発熱がある。それを溶かすと直に治る。
（六）眼の悪い人は、延髄部を主に頚部から肩にかけて固結があり、又前頭部に必ず発熱がある。そこを浄霊すると軽い眼ならそれで治る。私は手術をしない眼ならば、大抵は治るというが、今日迄盲目を幾人となく全治さしたからである。近眼及び乱視など延髄部の固結を溶かせば、百発百中治る。
（七）盲腸炎は、右側腎臓部に必ず固結がありそこを浄霊すれば治る。又胃でも腸でも、原因は背部にあるから、そこを浄霊するだけでよく治る。胃痙攣など激痛の際、前方から浄霊しても痛みは全部取れないが、背部を浄霊すれば全治するのである。
（八）最も面白いのは瘭疸である。患部だけ浄霊しても全部痛みは除れないが、頚部をみると必ず固結があるから、そこを浄霊すると実によく治る。
以上によってみても判る如く、病なるものは表面に表われた症状であって、其因が意外な処にあるものである。それを知らない医学は、症状さえ治せば病気は治るものと解釈しているので、真の医術ではないのである。それは全く人間は綜合体であるという事の認識がないからである。何よりも病気によって療法が異い、薬の種類も数多いという事は、よくそれを物語っている。本当に治る医学とすれば、一つの方法で万病を治し得る筈である。
元来病気とは曩に説いた如く一種類となった毒素が各局部に固結するので、言わば病気の種類とは固結場所の種類である。それが分るとしたら療法も一つとなり、進歩の必要もない事になる。何故なれば進歩とは不完全なものを完全にしようとする過程であるからである。此一事だけにみても、現代医学は如何に根本に未知であるかが判るであろう。此意味に於て、今迄進歩と思って来たのは、実は外面だけのそれであって、肝腎な病気は治らず、一つ所を往ったり来たりしていたに過ぎないのである。
Medical Science for Puppets
Creation of Civilisation written by Mokichi Okada in 1952
Until now, I have pointed out all the faults of modern medical science. Here I explain the most important point. That is medical science treats human beings as puppets. As you know, there are many kinds of subjects in medical science, which are divided into specialized fields such as internal medicine, surgery, neurology, urology, dermatology, gynaecology, paediatrics, ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology, dentistry. As for internal medicine, for example, it is further subdivided into diseases such as tuberculosis, gastrointestinal disorder, heart disease and so on. On the other hand, there is a so-called basic medical science. In this field, researchers devote themselves to academic study all their lives. They concentrate on looking through a microscope while experimenting such a guinea pig or mouse every day. They are widely known as Doctor of guinea pig. Another field is called clinical medicine. Some doctors take patients’ pulse directly all year round. As for so-called preventive medicine, doctors throw themselves into social and individual hygiene including infectious disease prevention. Then, there are various types of medical treatment. They are surgery, electrotherapy and massage as well as medicines for internal use and injections. Along with them, there are phototherapy, physiotherapy, psychotherapy and so on. Then others are oriental medicine, various folk remedies, charm and religious prayers. As I roughly listed above, there are surprisingly complexed and a wide variety of treatments. Why did it turn out like this? It is because there was no true treatment to cure diseases. If there had been the treatment that truly cured disease, it would have cured every single disease.
Then I explain the wrongest thing that medical science does. That is to regard human beings as puppets. First of all, the human body is comprehensively formed, which means it is not assembled by body parts of arms, legs and five body elements. Therefore, if the disease develops in a certain part of the body, not only that part but also the other parts are affected. For example, when arms and legs are something wrong, their cause comes not only from them but also another part or part A. Then the part A moves to part B and appears in part C. In this way, they are related forever. Suppose someone has weak teeth, it is because one’s whole body is weak. Therefore, it is impossible to make only one’s teeth strong while one’s body is still weak. When a woman suffers from tuberculosis and her condition gets worse, she never fails to become amenorrhea. It is because she suffers from anaemia due to tuberculosis. If a person has weak intestine, one must have a weak stomach. If a person has a weak stomach, one must have weak lungs. If a person has weak lungs, one must have a weak heart. In this way, they interactively work forever. I give you a good example that you can easily comprehend. I compare a human being to a nation. If the government policies of the nation are poor, all the people are badly affected. In the same way, a heart as the central government of the human body is something wrong, the whole body is affected. The nation goes into recession, short of fund and shortage of supplies, which means the body has poor nutrition and suffers from anaemia. Even if something simply hurts, it stimulates the brain and affects the heart. Consequently, it affects the stomach which causes loss of appetite. Then the intestine becomes weak which causes constipation, tired feeling and so on. It finally affects all the body. The following explanation makes it clear. If a person has only lung disease when a person suffers from pneumonia, only one’s lungs should be affected and get a fever. It means one’s other parts of the body should not be affected. However, the truth is one’ whole body gets a fever and the pain spread over the whole body.
Then I give you some examples.
(1) An about a twenty-year-old woman who had a severe toothache. I performed Johrei to her and the pain soon disappeared. However, she visited me the day after that. She told me she had pain again. The ordinal toothache must be cured by Johrei at once. I thought the cause of her pain must come from the other part and pressed down from just below the tooth in order. I found a solid substance in her chest. When pressed it, she felt pain. Then I dissolved it by Johrei. The pain soon disappeared. She, however, came to see me again the day after that. She told me she had still pain. I wondered why and pressed further down in order. Then she said she felt pain very much around the appendix. I performed Johrei towards there. The pain had completely disappeared. She told me that she had an operation for appendix before. I found from this experience that the disinfectants for the operation had solidified. Then purification occurred and they were about to come out of the gum through the chest, which caused pain. When you read this, you can hardly imagine that the cause of toothache comes from the appendix.
(2) A man in his early twenties who suffered from tuberculosis in the third stage. He frequently coughed and had phlegm. I performed Johrei towards his head, neck, shoulders and so on as usual but it didn’t work very well. Then I thoroughly examined him and surprisingly found hard lumps in the groins of his leg joints. They had a considerable fever and he felt very much pain when pressing them. I thought they were the root cause of his symptom. Then I performed Johrei there and he was completely recovered in about a month. At that time, I told him while laughing that his lungs were in his crotch. Then I give you extra information about this. When I told his story to a certain medical doctor, he was puzzled. Then I said, “I try to examine your crotch.” I let him lie on his back and pressed there. I found hard lumps and they had a slight fever. Soon after I performed Johrei there, he coughed and had phlegm. He was so stunned that he had no other word for it but strange. He is still working as a professor for a certain university.
(3) A middle-aged man who suffered from a gallstone. I examined his backside of the right kidney. There was a large solid substance and that was thought to be the cause. When I dissolved it by Johrei several times, it was just cured.
(4) A person who suffers from prolapse or haemorrhoid. When examining one’s crotch, there must be a hard lump. When it is dissolved by Johrei, it is healed. From this experience, I found their causes are in the crotch. On the other hand, haemorrhoidal bleeding and dysentery are caused by toxic blood in the head which melts and goes down. When you perform Johrei to a patient’s head, one is cured and feels light in one’s head. More than anything, you would understand well by this.
(5) A person who has a headache, head dullness or poor concentration. One must have a hard lump in the left or right side of cervical lymph node or around medulla oblongata. It also has a fever. When it melts, it is soon healed.
(6) A person who has an eye disease. One must have a hard lump mainly around medulla oblongata and from the neck to the shoulder, or have a fever on the forehead. The slight eye diseases are cured by only performing Johrei there. I would say that most of the eye diseases without operation are cured by Johrei as I have completely cured so many blind people until today. Eye diseases such as short-sighted and astigmatism never miss being cured when a hard lump around medulla oblongata is dissolved.
(7) A person who suffers from appendicitis. There must be a hard lump on the right side of the kidney. When you perform Johrei there, it is cured. As for the diseases related to the stomach and intestine, the causes of them are on the backside. When you just perform Johrei there, they are cured very well. If a person feels an acute pain such as stomach cramps, all the pain is not relieved when performing Johrei towards the front side. When doing toward the backside, it is completely cured.
(8) A person who suffers from a whitlow. This is remarkable. When you perform Johrei only to the affected part, all the pain is not relieved. Please look at the neck. There must be a hard lump. When you perform Johrei there, the whitlow is cured very much.
As I described above, you would see that disease is the symptom that appeared on the surface and its cause is in an unexpected part. Since medical science doesn’t realise this truth, it regards disease is cured when its symptom is just healed. Therefore, it is not true medical art. It has no awareness that a human being is perfectly and comprehensively formed. As you know, different treatments are needed depending on diseases and many types of medicine. More than anything, this shows that medical science is not true. If it were true medicine, all kinds of disease should be cured by only one method. As I previously explained, the disease is originally caused by toxins which becomes one single type. They accumulate and solidify in each part of the body. The types of disease mean the types of parts where toxins accumulate and solidify in a manner. When this is comprehended, the progress of medical science is not needed any more. Since progress means the process of completing an incomplete thing. Concerning only this fact, you would see that modern medical science has not yet found the fundamental things. In this sense, what we have thought of something progressed is, in fact, only progressed on their surface. Consequently, the most important thing or disease has not been solved yet. We only go and back to the same place.
