"Ye shall know them by their fruits" - Read the Bible for Suppressing Corona-Viruses

Read the Bible for Suppressing Corona-Viruses

In our body, the autonomous nerves control activities of the inward organs or the viscera, the body temperature, metabolism, etc. without our intention.

The autonomous nerves consist of the sympathetic nerve system and the parasympathetic nervous system.  The former is active in daytime and the latter is active in night-time or when one is not strained.


The body’s Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) controls and influences internal organ function through largely automatic processes such as digestion, respiration, and heart rate. The larger ANS is divided into several systems including the more well-known “fight-or-flight” Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) and lesser known “rest-and-digest” Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS). These systems naturally counteract each other and work to achieve balance within the body.

It is when the parasympathetic nervous system is dominant that lymphocytes increase to enhance immunity.  And lymphocytes are a kind of white blood cells and are divided into the B-cells, the T-cells,  the natural killer (NK) cells, etc.  The NK cells attack cells contaminated by bacteria or viruses.  The B-cells make antibodies when bacteria or viruses invade the body while T-cells store disease-causing agents into their memory, rapidly respond to them, and take them out. 

Therefore, in order to suppress viruses, lymphocytes should be reinforced to enhance immunity; and in order to reinforce lymphocytes, the parasympathetic nervous system should be reinforced.

To enhance activities of the parasympathetic nervous system, it is recommended to have lifestyle with less stress.  And lifestyle with less stress is realized by warming the body, deep breathing, having orderly life, eating a well-balanced diet, laughing in relax, etc.

It seems that this lifestyle can be easily realized in monasteries, although laughing may not be encouraged there.  But, it must be effective to read the Bible, get relieved from daily stress, and eventually practice a mild-mannered demeanor for enhancing activities of the parasympathetic nervous system and strengthening immunity.

Therefore, it is recommended to read the Bible, strengthen the parasympathetic nervous system, and thus increase lymphocytes and the NK cells for suppressing corona-viruses.

Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
