Spiritual Power on Feelings/Senses to the Body and Immunity

In our bodies, stress stirs up sympathetic nerves, and when the stimulation continues, granulocytes, a category of white blood cells in the innate immune system, generate more radical oxygen and cytokines, thus suppressing activities of lymphocytes.

Put simply, when we experience chronic stress, we are in the sate where cancer can develop easily, while immunity is reduced so as to assist cancer developing and growing proliferously.  

According to a study by the National Cancer Center of Japan, it was shown that a group of subjects who were aware of being under a higher level of stress had an 11% higher risk of cancer than another group who were aware of being under a lower level of stress.

Researchers described that although it could not be necessarily said that this result was all due to exited sympathetic nerves, stress gave grave influence on the immune systems of our bodies.

 

Indeed, when one feels stress in older days as he encounters enemies such as attacking animals, his body will be prepared automatically for physical fight by exciting cranial nerves and reducing sleepiness while making muscles ready for increasing instantaneous force.  His liver will solve glycogen and increase the blood glucose level to supply energy to muscles and the brain.  

In addition, his breathing gets quickened and rough, trying to get more oxygen into the body by broadening bronchi.  And in order to concentrate blood to important organs, blood pressure will be driven up and peripheral blood vessels are shrunken, so that hands and foots get cold.

In this state, functions of digestive organs not involved in fight will be suppressed with saliva and digestive flood reduced. 

However, these conditions under stress can last for only a short time.  In primitive age, as a crisis such as encountering with an attacking animal occurred relatively rarely or only for a short time, no matter how much pressure the body receives from excitement of sympathetic nerves, it would not become fatal.     

But in this modern era, a crisis for a man continues unnaturally long, but his sympathetic nerves work as they did in primitive age.  So, when a modern man gets under pressure (if not encountering with an attacking animal) that lasts long, he has to endure effect of excitement of sympathetic nerves that was originally designed to prepare for short-time fight as long as the pressure continues.  Consequently, his body will be over-strained.

On the contrary, when one is relaxed, parasympathetic nerves become dominant, lowering pressure, increasing functions of digestive organs, and accumulating nutrition to prepare for a next crisis.  Even, the ratio of lymphocyte cells, necessary for keeping immunity, increases in white blood cells.  

But in this modern era, busy men cannot be relaxed properly or timely.  The balance between the effect of sympathetic nerves and that of parasympathetic nerves can be easily lost.  Accordingly immunity decreases.  And men can become vulnerable to cancer or viruses and other agents of disease.  

The point at issue is that when one feels stress, his sense of crisis is reflected on his body through sympathetic nerves.  But this mechanism was designed very long

 time ago in primitive age or in a period when the mankind was not separated from chimpanzees, so that it is not fit to modern people.

That is why Christ Jesus could heal the sick by making them relaxed through working on their feeling and thus restoring the balance between sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves. 

So the core of the issue is that spiritual activities that can work on human feeling/senses can influence on his/her body.  Therefore, to enhance immunity against corona-viruses of a man, Christ Jesus would direct His spiritual power to his feeling to influence on his immunity.

John 7 King James Version
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

"Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs" - Back Together with Seven Mutants of Viruses

Back Together with Seven Mutants of Viruses

It was said in early spring that the corona-pandemic would be fading away when summer came with high temperature, high humidity, and strong sun rays that would weaken activities of corona-viruses.  But, when summer came, spread of corona-viruses was further accelerated. 

In the case of Japan, as early summer approached, the infection status was fairly improved, but as the Government took out high alert and allowed more economic activities, acceleration of spread was resumed and more infected people were discovered.

So, it is thought that corona-viruses can well adapt to environment more than predicted.  In this context, it is feared that the viruses might adapt to vaccines now under development.  Therefore, it is better to develop and prepare various types of vaccines to suppress activities of the viruses that can quickly change their features and properties to survive in different environment and against new vaccines. 

If the corona-viruses are more formidable, surviving our counter-measures, we have to more enhance our inherent immunity.

It is well known that our immunity against viruses is mostly based on white blood cells.  And the number of white blood cells increases in the state where activities of parasympathetic nerves are dominant, for example, when we are relaxed and under less stress from work, human relationships, various fears or worries, etc.        

However, it may be more useful to see factors reducing immunizing power.  According to a study by the department of immunology of a Japanese medical university, these factors are (1) aging, (2) underlying diseases, (3) medical drugs suppressing immunity, (4) obesity and excess dieting, (5) sleep deprivation, (6) alcohols, (7) pregnancy, etc.   

And modern Americans look champions in the fields of these factors.  That may be why a quarter of the global victims of the corona-viruses are Americans.

It also means that the U.S. and other countries following the U.S. and adopting American lifestyle are vulnerable to present corona-viruses or new types of viruses expected to come in the future.  

Indeed, Matthew 12 reads as follows:
43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

So, even if we can wipe out this pandemic in this year or next year, it may come back together with seven more mutants with more resistance against vaccines in 2040 or 2050.

   

Especially, Chinese leaders should read and learn the Bible, since China has generated various viruses several times in the history since the Middle Ages.

Mark 7  King James Version

25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
