Medicine and Mechanics
(Excerpts from book “Cure without Medicine”)
1. The body is made of cells. The mind and in
turn emotions are present in every cell of the body. The perfect co-ordination
and unity of ‘self’ is shared and
maintained by each cell. Each cell shares these living emotional property. Hence
our proposition laid down earlier stands proved collectively (at body of the
organism) and individually (at each cell in the body of the organism).
2. If pulse beats were the only standard, then a
hard working laborer would be the victims of the worse disease (since while
doing the labor, the pulse beats variation is much more than doing the table
work involving intelligence).
3. Pulse is not the only measure
But it may be
noted that pulse is not the only measure. When the intellectuals pulse is
accelerated, the brain potentials (electric changes) are more rapid in his
case. The laborer, comparatively, has a small change in the brain potential. In
the case of intellectual, the rate of change of brain potential is
comparatively higher. Indeed, here the consideration of minute volume of heart
crops up along with the pulse rate but we shall ignore it here to make
understanding simple. Pulse beat if compared to prick of a match stick, then
brain potential would be equivalent to pin-prick. The sharper the worse.
These are simplified
statements. Indeed brain potential bear different contexts.
4. Role of Medicine
We now consider
the mode of action of medicine on the condition of disease itself.
Emotions are spread
throughout body.
On the showing
of science itself, the human body is an integrated whole. One cannot assert
that emotion is in one part of the body and a boil on the foot is at another
altogether distinct part of the body, unconnected with the lame of emotion.
Every part of the body and emotion is jointly responsible for all actions of
commission and omission. All action in the body collectively face the reaction
under the laws of science.
5. Illustration
(Simplified) – to see the effect of medicine on the
body.
5.1 Consider
the case of a person who has become angry on six different occasions, say for
10 minutes on each occasion.
Assume his
normal pulse rate is 72/minute.
When angry, it
goes to 78/minute
PV
(action)/minute is 6 stroke/minute
Total action
produced in 60 minutes = 60 x 6 = 360 PV strokes
Therefore, the
stored potential energy in the body = 360 strokes of action
5.2 Now assume
that this potential energy (360 strokes) produces 60 minutes of headache.
During the period of headache, the pulse will beat say at 78/minute. (This
means, on the basis of discussion earlier, through the pain-emotions of
headache, the body will react on the mind at the rate of six strokes per
minute, i.e. reaction of 60 minutes x 6 strokes/minute = 360 strokes of
reaction) Here we see the emotion (anger) has been fully compensated by
headache.
5.3 But in
practice, the person would take a pill to stop his headache. Say after 40
minutes (i.e. he suffered from the headache for some time and later his pain
stopped due to the medicine he consumed), i.e. 20 minutes x 6 strokes/minute =
120 strokes of headache are saved by medicine.
5.4 But since
these 120 strokes cannot be abolished, they are not destroyed or totally
avoided, but merely withheld. The man gets relief from headache. Let us assume
that the joy of relief the person enjoys for 10 minutes at the strokes of
action of 6 strokes/minute. Hence 6 x 10 = 60 strokes the person has added to
the potential quota of reaction (to be suffered sometime later).
5.5 Medicine
itself creates some action on the body. It is not always possible to ascertain
correctly in each case how much action a particular drug is likely to add to
the body. Hypothetically in this case it is assumed that ¼
pill would have been sufficient to stop the headache. But since, one full pill
was consumed ¾ pill was consumed in excess of the
requirement. This excess medicine will also have strength to create action in
the body.
We may say –
120 strokes saved by taking medicine
60 strokes created by Joy of
relief
360 strokes created by
unwanted dose of medicine (action)
540 Total strokes
Thus, the
picture:
540 strokes –
potential stored for future pain in spite of suffering headache for 40 minutes
(40x6 = 240 strokes).
(In practice,
the reaction thus stored because of joy or because of additional medicine may
not be exactly as above. But then all that we are concerned with is that it is
more than the original quota of reaction, the man should have been subjected to
because of the headache).
5.6 Consider
this again.
In the event
the headache occurs again the next day, to give the individual the above 540
strokes. He does not wait even 40 minutes before taking medicine. He takes the
medicine (pill) just within 5 minutes the headache starts. On each such
occasion are added minimum of about 400 strokes. During three years, say 1000
days @ the above rate the body of the person has stored 1000x400 = 400,000
reaction strokes.
By taking
medicine, the person has prohibited the body to react to the headache
(suffering). So this large amount of reaction is directed to, say heart, in
place of head. So the person gets a heart attack.
6. Alexis
Carrel
Wrote in his
famous book ‘Man the Unknown’ about the
potential capacity of the body to retain, yet adjust itself. “Medicine
is far from having decreased human sufferings as much as it endeavors to make
us believe. Indeed the number of deaths from infection diseases has greatly
diminished. But we still must die, and we die in a much larger proportion from
degenerative diseases. The years of life which we have gained by the
suppression of diseases (like diphtheria, small pox, typhoid fever, etc.) are
paid for by the long sufferings and the lingering deaths caused by chronic
affections and especially by cancer, diabetes and heart diseases.”
7 The route may
be complicated, the analysis complex – yet the
fundamental remains unaffected totally. They are identical in case of every
disease. By any logic, there cannot be any other conclusion.
It is quite
well-known that while the ‘Pill’
stops the headache, it simultaneously also acts on the nervous system. Where
other medicines are concerned, they act either on the nervous system or on some
other part of the body. There is no provision for the medicine to
unconditionally be thrown out of body. On the contrary, the medicine becoming
one with the body, metabolism again produces its effect. So all that person
achieves by taking medicine is to delay the action of disease or to change its
original nature ultimately to be all the worse for treatment.
8. Let me make it clear. In case you ask me
whether we should not then take medicines at all?
Leaving details
for later discussion, I emphasis that we should at least add to the medicine,
appreciation of these findings and ‘Peace of Mind’
resulting therefrom (from this knowledge).
Summary
When emotion
(cause) turns itself into disease (effect), the process is subtle (Fine and
difficult to understand). Cause-Effect, Action-Reaction take place either
immediately or (through medicine if can be) differed. In the first alternative,
the manifestation of effect is immediately, or optionally (by postponement by
medicine), it can be stored as ‘potential
energy’. This is again purely as per another
concept of physics).
