Not by Bread alone, but by every Word of the God

Toru Abo, the medical doctor and professor of the graduate school of Niigata University, emphasized that diseases mainly occur due to two factors: low body temperature and low-oxygen condition． And there are two systems for generating energy in cells of the human body: the glycolytic system and the mitochondria system, and keeping balance between them in energy production in the human body is the key to maintenance of human health.

For example, when one is under stress, sympathetic nerve is put in state of tension to increase blood flow, but too much or long tension causes constriction of blood vessels leading to blood circulation disorder and resulting in low body temperature.  This is one of main causes for diseases.  Another major cause is low-oxygen condition caused by fever, for example due to corona-viruses, in the body that accelerates a blood flow rate in the lung and reduces time to take in enough oxygen while fever increases a need for oxygen.  And in  low body temperature and low-oxygen condition, the human body is prone to be affected by a disease.  And in this sate, the glycolytic system plays a major part than the mitochondria system, leading to cancer formation.  Conversely, if we continue lifestyle relying on the glycolytic system, the dangerous state of low body temperature and low-oxygen condition continues.   

The glycolytic system uses nutrient elements (mainly glucides) without oxygen while the mitochondria system uses nutrient elements (glucides, lipids, and proteins) as well as oxygen, enzymes, sunlight, etc.

On average, there are several hundreds of mitochondria in one cell of the human body, and the total weight of mitochondria accounts 10 percent of body weight.  Therefore, if we cannot breathe, mitochondria cannot produce energy and cells die, leading to death of ourselves.

In 50 trillion cells of the human body, these two systems work to produce energy.  But the mitochondria system produces 18 times more energy than the glycolytic system does.  However the  glycolytic system produces energy in a rapid manner with instantaneous force, while the mitochondria system provides staying power.  Indeed,  the  glycolytic system produces energy 100 times faster than the mitochondria system.

Energy produced by the glycolytic system is used in white muscles, skins, etc.;  energy produced by the mitochondria system is used in red muscle, the brain, the heart, the liver, etc.  So, sprint runners use white muscles (almost without breathing while running), and marathon runners use red muscle.  Therefore, when we are panicked, subjected to stress, or get angry, we get emotive and use the glycolytic system to get out our frantic strength or bring out desperate power, but such conditions do not last long.

Foods are taken in to be consumed in digestive organs, and nutrient elements are  resolved in the glycolytic system in cells, which is the only energy source in  red blood cells, etc.  Furthermore, nutrient elements are resolved in mitochondria to eventually generate hydrogen.  And, as this hydrogen is connected, through chemical reaction, to oxygen carried into cells through blood and water is generated, a huge amount of energy is produced like in hydrogen batteries.

Originally, cells of earlier ancestors of animals and plants had no mitochondria, but they came to take in mitochondria, then external independent microbes, two billion years ago.  By using energy produced by mitochondria, earlier ancestors of animals and plants could further evolve and get sophisticated.  However, the original glycolytic system in cells working without oxygen were out of synchronization with mitochondria using oxygen.  So, it is thought that it took about 800 million years after absorbing mitochondria in cells for conditions in cells to get stable.  (Earlier cells that also took in chlorophylls evolved to plants.)

Consequently, cells came to use energy produced by mitochondria, so that 1.2 billion years ago, the eukaryote type of cells were born.  And 1 billion years ago, multicellular organisms appeared to further evolve into plants and animals.

Put simply, our bodies, namely our cells, have two different energy-producing systems, the glycolytic system and mitochondria system, the combination of which in cells  was the key to evolution of living things on the earth.  Therefore, the balance between them in their activities is the key to our health.  For example, cancer cells use mostly the glycolytic system.

On the other hand, mitochondria use 90% of oxygen inhaled through breathing.  And in the process of generating energy, 0.1 to 2% of oxygen used in mitochondria turn to active oxygen that would harm cells and cause aging of the human body.

When a man is young, his cells in his body mainly use the glycolytic system, but as he gets older, the mitochondria system comes to take a larger share.  But if a man continues to rely on the glycolytic system in stressful life-style, cancer and other diseases can easily develop. 

In this context, we do not live only by bread alone, which will turn to glucide or sugar content to be used in the glycolytic system that produces instantaneous power to be used especially by ancient soldiers, but also by oxygen to be used in the mitochondria system that produces staying power to be used especially in the brain thinking about the word of God.

These conditions really give insight into the word of Christ Jesus:
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Finally, deep breathing is as important as foods for men to live healthy lives, since breathing is an analogy of taking spirit from the spiritual world.

Luk 7:6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
Luk 7:7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

Luk 7:8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

Luk 7:9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Luk 7:10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
Luk 7:11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.

Mark 7 King James Version (KJV)

6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

"For he loveth our nation" - Still toward the End of the First Millennium

Still toward the End of the First Millennium

After the Spanish Flu that occurred in 1918 where 50 million people were killed, the Russian Revolution (between 1918 and 1922) and subsequent purges by Stalin occurred where about 20 million people were killed and WWII (mainly triggered by Nazis) occurred between 1939 and 1945 where about 80 million people were killed.  In addition after WWII, the Chinese Communist Party got hegemony over China through the civil war between 1946 and 1950 and subsequent rule by Mao Tse-tung, causing 60 million deaths.

Indeed, after the 1918 Spanish Flu, the Russian Revolution, WWII, the Chinese Revolution occurred in the 20th century, causing death to approximately 200 million people.

In this context, the 1918 Spanish Flu was the ill omen for tragedies of the world in the 20th century.  But after WWII, the Spanish Flu was forgotten, although the Cold War started where the U.S. and the Soviet Union came to compete with each other with nuclear weapons in the amounts enough to destroy the whole earth.

So, when the Soviet Union collapsed and the Cold War ended around 1990, the world became somewhat peace.  However, Islamic extremists got into a war against the US, which has continued up to the early 21st century.  What's more while the US set off the financial crisis around 2008, China started to exercise its economic power and have influence on the global economy, as the US and Japan had helped China develop its economy all through 1980s to 2000s.

And in 2020, the corona-virus pandemic was set off from Wuhan, China, while the Chinese Communist Party came not to hide its hegemonic ambition over the world and Russia further started to strengthen its military capacity.  The U.S., after the era of President Obama as the first African American president, got into a kind of political crisis due to President Trump who abused racial split in the American society for his interest and ambitions. 

Therefore like 100 years ago, the world has still two dangerous factors: Russia and China.  And another pandemic has also occurred as an ill-omen.  In this context, the early 21st century is an extension of the 20th century.

In the 20th century, despite ominous existence of communist Russia and China, the war between the Western democratic camps (namely, the U.S. and Western Europe) and the despotic axis powers (namely, Germany, Imperial Japan, etc.)  was more critical for the human kind.  Consequently, Germany, Imperial Japan, etc. were defeated in WWII to be democratic economic powers.  This fate might have been foretold by the 1918 Spanish Flu.

In this 21st century, despite existence of Islamic extremists and racial disputes in the U.S., the potential war between the Western democratic camps, now including Germany and Japan, and despotic and militarist Russia and China seems to be more critical.  And this fate may be really warned by the 2020 corona-pandemic.
 
Therefore, the early 21st century must be an extension of the 20th century like the early first century was an extension of the 1st century B.C. where Caesar and Alexander the Great had played some important roles.

So, it is symbolic that the 2020 pandemic was generated in China, while according to a theory, even the 1918 Spanish Flu was brought to Europe by Chinese laborers who were mobilized to WWI in the European fronts.  In this sense, we are still living in the world progressing to the end of the first millennium.

Luke 7 King James Version (KJV)
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
