"he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them" - Situations around Hiroshima in August of 1945

A Park around Tokyo

Situations around Hiroshima in August of 1945

The US military dropped the world's first nuclear weapon called the atomic bomb onto Hiroshima, a military city of Imperial Japan with the population, at that time, of about 350,000 in August 1945.

Leaders of the US military at the time was under strong pressure from American citizens and the American Government requesting to finish the war against Imperial Japan as fast as possible without spending more money and sacrificing more American soldiers while Germany had already surrendered.  On the other hand, fanatic leaders of the Japanese Army were determined to face the expected ground war on the Japanese mainland.  The too-brave samurai tradition seemed to force them to fight against invading US troops and die in battles on the Japanese ground.  They were persuading the Emperor to approve the desperate plan to carry out the final ground war on the Japanese main land.  

However, the Emperor started to feel uneasy about the expected outcome of the plan, thus thinking about ceasefire.  In line with Emperor's mind, the Imperial Japanese Government sent an emissary to Moscow to ask the Soviet Union to work as an intermediate for ceasefire between Imperial Japan and the U.S. and the Allies.  However, the Soviet Union was already determined to join the Allies and start battles against Imperial Japan, so that Moscow did not make a clear answer to help Imperial Japan.

The Potsdam Declaration, a statement that called for the surrender of all Japanese armed forces, had been already issued to Imperial Japan in July, but the Imperial Japanese Government did not yet make it clear whether or not it accepted the Declaration due to strong objections from the Imperial Army.

At the time, the Battle of Okinawa on the Okinawa Islands was over with 20,000 deaths on the American side and 200,000 deaths on the Japanese side.  But the Imperial military continued to send total 1,900 Kamikaze suicide attack planes to Okinawa.  (Even one Japanese fighter plane flew up in the sky before Hiroshima, trying to shoot down a U.S. B-29 bomber carrying the atomic bomb, on August 6, but could not catch it due to a lack of enough fuel.)

Therefore, the Imperial Japanese military and allied troops led by General MacArthur expected U.S. landing operation on the Japanese mainland to be launched sooner or later. However, the Imperial Army still kept a million troops in the Chinese mainland. Indeed, no generals of the Imperial Army thought that they were losing the war in China. The Soviet Union, the most grave potential enemy of Imperial Japan, still kept the the Japanese–Soviet Non-aggression Pact. Put simply, it was the calm before the storm in early August of 1945. And then, a B-29 bomber with the atomic bomb loaded started to fly 2,740 km from Tinian Island to Hiroshima, taking 6 and a half hours on one way. It reached Hiroshima and dropped the atomic bomb at 8:15 a.m., August 6, killing about 100,000 citizens among 350,000 residents only on the day. It is said that total 560,000 people, including those who visited the city after the bombing, were exposed to radiation.

Although the U.S. announced that it had used an atomic bomb over Hiroshima soon after the bombing, the Imperial Japanese Government sent scientists to Hiroshima to confirm that it was really a nuclear attack.  It is true that the Imperial Japanese military had also studied how to make an atomic bomb, but Japanese scientists gave up the idea due to lack of materials and resources.  Even Germany had given up the plan to make atomic bombs in WWII.  So, the concept of the atomic bomb was not new to Japanese elites.  Therefore, Imperial Japanese elites got shocked to see how advanced the U.S. science and technology were.

But, the fanatic leaders of the Imperial Army did not immediately decided to stop the war.  The Emperor and the prime minister could not persuade them to decide ceasefire.  Accordingly, it needed another atomic bomb attack on Nagasaki and invasion by Soviet troops to Manchuria, South Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands, unilaterally abolishing the Japanese–Soviet Non-aggression Pact, for the Imperial Government, including the Imperial Army and Navy, to decide ceasefire and accept the Potsdam Declaration.  

Accordingly, many Japanese, including the Emperor, were spared their life, although total 3 million Japanese civilians and soldiers were killed, while only less than 3,000 American soldiers had been killed in the Pearl Harbor Attack in 1941.    

Today, Japanese people rather blame the Imperial military more than the U.S. military or the U.S. Government for the damage of the Hiroshima atomic bomb attack, since if the Imperial military had given up the war, as good spirit samurai, before the atomic bomb attack, so many people, including about a dozen of U.S. soldiers having been taken as prisoners in Hiroshima, should not been cruelly killed.          

Though President Obama did not apologize to Hiroshima victims for the ruthless atomic bomb attack targeting mostly Japanese civilians when he visited Hiroshima in August 2016, his visit was accepted as expression of his compassion to Hiroshima victims. So far as now, Mr. Obama is the only U.S. President who has ever visited Hiroshima whose population is about 1.2 million recently.

Mark 8 King James Version (KJV)

5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

”Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna” - The Macro State of the Mind and the Micro State of Natural Killer Cells





Around Tokyo

The Macro State of the Mind and the Micro State of Natural Killer Cells 


The white blood cells are under control of autonomous nerves.  The white blood cells are directly concerned with immunity against viruses.  And autonomous nerves are influenced by various factors such as weather conditions, stress and pressure on the man, the mind set of the man, his lifestyle, how he feels and behaves, etc. 

In other words, immunity against viruses in our bodies is influenced by our minds.

The basic form of the white cells is macrophages, a type of white blood cell of the immune system that engulfs and digests cellular debris, foreign substances, microbes, cancer cells, etc.  From macrophages, granulocytes and lymphocyte cells are generated, and the former includes T cells and B cells.  In the process of evolution from macrophages to lymphocyte cells, natural killer (NK) cells are generated, which provide rapid responses to virus-infected cells, acting at around 3 days after infection, and respond to tumor formation.

To activate NK cells, perforins (a pore forming cytolytic protein) must be oozed out, but this oozing is under control of parasympathetic nerves.  And parasympathetic nerves, one type of autonomous nerves, cannot be dominant in the state where one feels pressure or stress.  However, when one is relaxed, parasympathetic nerves work well; perforins are oozed well; and NK cells are activated so that they kill virus-infected cells. 

Therefore, the linkage between the mind and the body is provided by autonomous nerves consisting of sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves.  And immunity against viruses are controlled by parasympathetic nerves and white blood cell elements such as NK cells, T cells, B cells. etc.

Neuroimmunology studies the interaction between the nervous and the immune system, a relation that can be analyzed in two directions: the nervous system-mediated regulation of immunity and the immune system-mediated regulation of nervous system function. Both kinds of interactions are mediated by complex mechanisms in which participate the same groups of cells and the same kind of molecules...https://www.intechopen.com/books/cell-interaction/cells-molecules-and-mechanisms-involved-in-the-neuro-immune-interaction


Put simply, the state of the mind has influence on autonomous nerves and thus the state of the body through connection between the nerves and cells.  It has been proved that laughing lowers the blood glucose level and blood pressure.  And, how you feel and think must influence the immunity level.

The macro state of laughing, relaxing, or other expressions of feeling of the man has an influence on the micro status of cells, such as NK cells, building the immune system.  However, it is not quantitatively clear how much laughing, relaxing, etc. is necessary for enhancing immunity against viruses.  It can be only said that the mind state has an influence on the body and health in general terms.

But one thing sure is that when one is reading the Bible and thinking about miracles of Christ Jesus, he is relaxed and his mind is purified, so that this state must have an influence on conditions of cells useful for immunity.  Accordingly, it is expected that his immunity against viruses must be enhanced.

That is why Christ Jesus said to His disciples, when He sent them out to society for preaching, that if you drank poison, you would not be harmed.  Christ Jesus must have set and regulated mind sets of His disciples into the appropriate state so that immunity of their bodies were reinforced against poisons and viruses.

So, it is interesting to see how many Vatican people or what percentage of Vatican people are suffering from corona-viruses.  Or it is the time for the Pope to prove that he is the genuine and real successor of Christ Jesus and thus he has power to save virus-infected people in the world.  Or any priests in Europe and the U.S. should prove the same.    

Finally, all I can say is to read the Bible, purify your minds, adjust autonomous nerves, and thus activate NK cells, and you would not be infected by corona-viruses. And even if your were infected, you cannot be desperately ill; or even if you became desperately ill, you would not be killed.  And even if you were killed, you would be allowed to enter Heaven.

3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

"I have compassion on the multitude" - If We Have Value for the God, He would Save Us from Viruses






Around Tokyo

If We Have Value for the God, He would Save Us from Viruses


When you are loved by family members, friends, and men of good will, you will surely get relaxed without feeling pressure and stress, thus your autonomous nerves work in good conditions.  And then your immunity works properly, protecting you from viruses, disease germs, and cancers.

However, such situations of being loved by all the people surrounding you are comparatively rare in your life.  They cannot be realized in 99% of your life time.  You have always hidden enemies, opponents, abusers, and exploiters in addition to betrayers around you.  You must feel hidden and potential danger among people, thus implicitly feeling pressure and stress, which will break the balance inside your bodies between sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves.  Then your health conditions, immunity, and resistance to cancers will be deteriorated, leading to real diseases.  It is all because every man has the ability to detect and sense feeling and senses of others toward you, since it is important for existence and subsistence of a human being who is a living thing.    

In other words, outer psychological conditions, including a feeling of goodwill and malicious intents toward you, will affect your physical conditions.

So, those who can well and fully endure negative outer psychological conditions physically and psychologically are said to be strong.  Therefore, some people living in stressful society can live longer and healthier than others.  But, there is always a limit.  And it is said that the maximum lifespan of cells in the human body is about 120 years.  No matter how favorable conditions a man may live in, he/she cannot live longer than 120 years or so.

In other words, if you were living among early followers of Christ Jesus, you should feel no pressure and stress, thus keeping good balance between sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves and strong immunity.  You must be able to live up to the maximum age allowed for a human being who is a living thing.

Put simply, as Christ Jesus could work with His love on this mechanism of biological conditions of men, He could cure the sick and save the exhausted.    

If Christ Jesus appeared today, He would surely save people from corona-viruses with His love to infected people, by making them detect, sense, and feel His love and thus reinforcing immunity in their bodies.

Therefore, the largest issue about the corona-viruses is that Christ Jesus is not in this world or He would not come yet to this world for any reason.  So, we have to find the reason.  And my answer is because a majority of people today have sold their souls to Satan who promised them money and worldly happiness, which is abhorred by the God.

Therefore, as long as men pursue material success in this civilization, pursing money and worldly happiness, under pressure and stress caused by one another, while being led by Satan, the civilization or the mankind will collapse by viruses or other disease germs without receiving enough love to reinforce their immunity from Christ Jesus who has been fighting Satan for at lease last 2000 years.      

In the core of this corona-virus pandemic, there is a fight between Christ Jesus and Satan.  And, the God might approve that the mankind who have chosen Satan over Christ Jesus go extinct as they have no value for the God any more.

In other words, for us to be saved from the corona-viruses, we have to show and prove to the God that we have value for Him so that He has to save us.  In this context, to read the Bible is the first step for us to take in fighting against corona-viruses.

Mark 8 King James Version

8 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

"for I am from him, and he hath sent me" - Spiritual Power on Feelings/Senses to the Body and Immunity








Tokyo

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.

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








Tokyo in the Rainy Season

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.

"Judge not according to the appearance" - Read the Bible and Pray to Christ Jesus to Save Us from the Pandemics





A Park around Tokyo

Read the Bible and Pray to Christ Jesus to Save Us from the Pandemics

One day, Christ Jesus went out to the desert to pray to the God in the middle of a pandemic 2000 years ago.  Then, a spy sent by Satan to monitor Christ Jesus reported to Satan that it was a chance to attack Christ Jesus alone in the desert.

Accordingly Satan appeared in front of Christ Jesus, saying, "Respect me and then I will save those suffering the virus-pandemic.  Look at those people suffering from the pandemic.  Don't you want to save them?"

Christ Jesus said, "Go away Satan.  The God gave immunity to the mankind.  All men have to do is just to activate the immunity!"

But Satan insisted, saying, "But how can men trigger immunity?  They don't know how to handle immunity.  I can teach them how to do it, if you revere me." 

So Christ Jesus said, "What they have to do is only to read the Bible and pray to the God.  Then immunity starts to work to suppress viruses."  Then, Satan left Christ Jesus and ordered its soldiers to make more formidable viruses...

And, it took 2000 years that Satan has obtained the formidable viruses, which people have called the corona-viruses that first appeared in the non-Christian country called China fighting against the Christian country the United States.

Satan also sent evil spirits to the Vatican and all other Christian churches in the world to confuse people in religious organizations and reduce power of their prayers.

Accordingly, everybody of today, including religious professionals, cannot suppress corona-viruses by their praying or through effect of reading the Bible.  And people are just crying for vaccines and other effective medicines.

However, Christ Jesus said, "My disciples would not be harmed if they took in poisons."

In this context, for us to conquer this corona-pandemic, we have to read the Bible and pray to Christ Jesus and the God as hard as possible so that we can be recognized as Their followers.  Then  corona-viruses should be exterminated, although Satan may come back with more fatal viruses in a decade or so.

But, there can be anther story that the corona-pandemic was triggered by the Angel of Death sent by the God who completely got angry at men who sold their souls to Satan.  In this context, all we have to do is to ask Christ Jesus to soften the anger of the God.

In any case, all we have to do is to read the Bible and pray to Christ Jesus to save us from the pandemics.

"which built his house upon a rock" - To Reinforce NK Cell Activities and Suppress Corona-Viruses




Tokyo

To Reinforce NK Cell Activities and Suppress Corona-Viruses

Sympathetic nerves become dominant in daytime and the winter or under high pressure.  On the other hand, parasympathetic nerves become dominant in night-time and the summer, or under low pressure.

Some diseases may develop due to change in balance between the sympathetic nerves and the parasympathetic nerves, which is caused by change in atmospheric pressure.

It should be noted that lymphocytes, in white blood cells, containing the natural killer (NK) cells, the T cells, the B cells, etc. increase in the state where the parasympathetic nerves are dominant.  And the NK cells are well known for their function to patrol in the human body, detect cancer cells, virus-infected cells, etc. and attack them.  It is a natural defense mechanism provided in the human body.

The state where the parasympathetic nerves are dominant can be also achieved when one is relaxed, for example, in laughing.  So, researchers of the University of Osaka made a study to investigate into the relationship between NK cell activities and lifestyle.  Lifestyle habits are evaluated by giving scores according to favorability of each habit in terms of health.  The result is shown below in comparison among poor, moderate, and good lifestyle. 


As a result, it was confirmed that orderly life or low-stress lifestyle (with much laughing or smiling) increases NK cell activities.

In this context, we have to reinforce a feeling relaxation (by reasonably laughing as much as possible) (preferably in night-time and the summer, or under low pressure) so as to increase NK cell activities and thus suppress corona-viruses.

But, as Christ Jesus said that whoever wanted to save his life for himself would lose it, but whoever abandoned it for His teaching should get eternal life, if we want to live more to spread His words, NK cells must reinforce their activities.

Accordingly, reading the Bible should be the best way to enter into the state where the parasympathetic nerves become dominant to reinforce NK cell activities and suppress corona-viruses.

"All these evil things come from within" - Read the Bible and Laugh occasionally to Suppress Viruses



Around Tokyo

Read the Bible and Laugh occasionally to Suppress Viruses


The sympathetic nerves work to put the body in the excitation and active mode, becoming dominant when doing jobs, enjoying activities, sports, etc. in daytime.

The parasympathetic nerves work to adjust physical conditions into the relaxed mode, becoming dominant at meals or in rest hours at night.

When the sympathetic nerves are dominant, lymphocytes account for 35% in white blood cells, while they account for 41% when the parasympathetic nerves are dominant.

So, when the state where the sympathetic nerves are dominant continues too long as a man is under a stress due to his lifestyle, work of the parasympathetic nerves is suppressed.  Then, lymphocytes, the key to immunity, are reduced.  As a result, the ability in the body to respond to and dispose of viruses, cancer cells, etc. is reduced, leading to expression of various diseases.

This is simple explanation how viruses cause damage to the human body while the body has is own immunizing power against viruses based on lymphocytes, etc.

Therefore, we have to avoid stress that lasts too long or is too heavy.  And to avoid stress, it is recommended to read the Bible, laugh occasionally, and have regular life.

"who goeth about to kill thee?" - The Immune System, a Gift from the God




Tokyo

The Immune System, a Gift from the God

When viruses invade the body, macrophages rush to the site to collect information about the viruses.

Then, macrophages give the information about the viruses to the T cells which work as the commander in immunity.  The T cells issue an order to kill cells contaminated by the viruses.  What's more, the T cells issue another order to produce immune bodies to the B cells which then produce a large amount of antibodies.  These antibodies in cooperation with complements start to destroy cells where viruses have invaded.

Macrophages appeared in the early stages of evolution of living things, so that they are in bodies of vertebrate animals, invertebrate animals, and almost all animals.  The B cells and other white blood cells evolved from macrophages.  In phagocytosis by macrophages, bacteria, viruses, and dead cells are eaten by macrophages, which is the main function of macrophages.

Macrophage.jpg
Macrophage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrophage)
Macrophages are a type of white blood cell of the immune system that engulfs and digests cellular debris, foreign substances, microbes, cancer cells, and anything else that does not have the type of proteins specific to healthy body cells on its surface in a process called phagocytosis.

To activate macrophages, the T cells should produce and deliver cytokines (a broad and loose category of small proteins important in cell signaling). A T cell is a type of lymphocyte, which develops in the thymus gland (hence the name) and plays a central role in the immune response. T cells can be distinguished from other lymphocytes by the presence of a T-cell receptor on the cell surface. 
Healthy Human T Cell.jpg
T Cell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_cell)

So, to destroy viruses in the human body, this complicated immune system, which developed through long history of evolution of living things, in the human body should work properly.

However, the modern medical science cannot produce artificial macrophages, T cells, B cells,  cytokines, etc.  The nature has taken billions of years to create this immune system, so that we have to first learn details of structure, features, characteristics, and functions of each element of this immune system.

Only we can do is to reinforce activities of this immune system.  Through various studies, we have found that common lifestyle with full of stress in modern material civilization gives adverse effect to the immune system.  As we rely on medicines more than immune system beyond necessity, the immune system is reversely affected, undergoing regression.  So, some medical doctors worry that modern medical services may cure a disease temporarily but must weaken the human body against viruses, cancer, etc. in the long run.

Indeed, Christ Jesus told not to mind foods since the body was more important than foods.  And the God took care of men more than flowers in the field and birds in the sky.  This saying means that we should rely on the immune system rather than modern medicines.

Indeed, the immune system in the human body is a gift from the God.  We have to review and change our lifestyle so as to enhance the immune system.

"Art thou he that should come? " - Read the Bible and Wish to Exterminate Viruses



Around Tokyo

Read the Bible and Wish to Exterminate Viruses

Immunity is in the human body to suppress invasion by viruses, bacteria, etc.  That is why the mankind can survive up to today since the human species was slit from other primates and established about 7 million years ago.

It is unthinkable that any viruses can exterminate the mankind if the inherited immunity works properly in human bodies.

To enhance immunity, it is recommended for men to avoid the low-temperature and low-oxygen state.  And to avoid the low-temperature and low-oxygen state, it is necessary to enhance the parasympathetic functions, since too much stress increases sympathetic nerve activities that will active when men are active in their jobs, etc.

So, it is necessary for men to foster a feeling of relaxation so that the parasympathetic functions will fully work to avoid the low-temperature and low-oxygen state and strengthen immunity.

As civilization develops, it is expected that men will have lifestyle with more occasions where they can be relaxed with less stress.  However, conversely, as material civilization develops more, men are put more under economic pressure and other pressure mainly in competition.

For example, President Trump, one of the richest and the most powerful men in the richest country the United States, does not look fully relaxed.  He is one example of men always activating sympathetic nerve activities and thus lowering immunity.   

It is not materially rich life but relaxed life surrounded by the nature without fear of any kinds that reinforces immunity in our bodies.  That is why people living in modern cities with full of tension like to go to vacation in the nature in holidays.

Otherwise, it is recommended to read the Bible, consecrate the spirit, and strongly wish to hope extermination of viruses in one's body, since the mind work has influence on the autonomous nerves (the parasympathetic nerves and the sympathetic nerves) and thus immunizing power.

Luke 7
18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

"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.

"Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand" - The Reason for No Cancer in the Brain/Heart




 Tokyo

The Reason for No Cancer in the Brain/Heart

Cancer does rarely develop in the heart and the brain.  Cancer originated in the heart is only about 0.003% in autopsy cases.  The number of people to be newly discovered as having brain cancer is yearly about 20 per 100,000 according to U.S. statistics, while the number having gastric carcinogenesis is about 100 per 100,000 in Japan.

The common feature between the heart and the brain is that the cells constituting them do not undergo cell division.

One fertilized egg in a mother multiplies to about two trillion in 40 weeks after fertilization.  After birth, cell division continues to build the body of a grown-up having 50 to 60 trillion cells.  It means that cells of the human body increase 30 times after birth to adulthood.

However, brain cells do not multiply in this process.  The brain cells, the number of which is estimated to be about 15 billion, of a newborn baby has a weight of about 400 grams, and those of a grown-up have 1400 grams.  In the process of growth, formation of myelin and synapse formation are promoted.  Therefore, a 3-year old baby has a brain weight of about 1,100 grams, and a 6-year old has 90% of a brain weight of an adult.  Likewise, the heart is mostly made of cross-striated muscle that do not undergo cell division.     

As brain cells and heart cells do not undergo cell division, cancer rarely develops there.  In these cells, mitochondria are abundant, so that the glycolytic system cannot be dominant in energy producing, although the glycolytic system works to accelerate cell division like in living things two billion years ago before absorption and unification of mitochondria in cells of anaerobes that lived only in the absence of oxygen.  Or, since unification of mitochondria into cells of anaerobes, mitochondria have worked to deter cell division under dominance of the glycolytic system, since the mitochondria system produces energy by not relying solely on glucose sugars but also by oxygen.

In deed, 25% of oxygen taken in through breathing is consumed in the brain, although the brain cannot store oxygen and consumes instantly oxygen provided by the lungs (that is why we have to breathe incessantly).  However, the brain also consumes 46% of all the glucose sugars consumed in the body.  Put simply, the brain works based on oxygen and glucose sugars.  Glucose sugars taken out from foods are broken down to pyruvic acids, generating energy in the glycolytic system, creating ATPs, an organic compound and hydrotrope that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells, at the rate of 2 ATP molecules per glucose sugar molecule.  But in the mitochondria system,  pyruvic acids further go into mitochondria to be oxidized and resolved into CO2, generating H+ (protons) used to creation ATPs at the rate of 36 to 38 ATPs per glucose sugar molecule.  Therefore, the mitochondria system produces 18 times more energy than the glycolytic system.

Most ATP is synthesized in the Mitochondria at the electron transport system

So, mitochondria deters cell division so as not to loose their function through division that will dilute its existence in cells.  But, the mitochondria system using oxygen also produces active oxygen that is harmful to cells.  Anyway, the brain cells and the heart cells that do not develop cancer use mostly the the mitochondria system.

Yet, cancer cells almost do not use the aerobic mitochondria system but use the anaerobic glycolytic system.  It means that cancer cells are imitating primitive cells that were working two billion years ago without the mitochondria system but with the glycolytic system accelerating tendency to cell division.  Indeed, the mitochondria system delivers mitotic inhibitors to cells to deter cell division.

As for the heart cells, they are warm at 40 degrees C.  Cancer cells die at 42 degrees C or higher.  Cancer cells that prefer cool environments do not easily develop in heart cells.  And the brain cells can bear the heat up to 41 degrees C.

The brain cells and the heart cells with plenty of mitochondria in the environment warm and full of oxygen do not undergo cell division.  Conversely, cancer cells prefer cold environment with less oxygen, repeating cell division rapidly.  And it is characteristic to the glycolytic system.

Therefore, it should not be simply thought that cancer is the result of accumulation of gene abnormality caused in the process of cell division but should be thought that cancer development is work of cells intended to get back to the state of anaerobic primitive cells living in the world in absence of oxygen two billion years ago before unification with mitochondria. 

When the human body gets into the sate cold with less oxygen, cells do not rely on the aerobic mitochondria system but the anaerobic glycolytic system to develop cancer.  And the state cold with less oxygen is brought by stress on the body and mind (autonomous nerves).

Accordingly, to avoid development of cancer like in the brain and heart cells, we have to avoid stress on the body and mind (autonomous nerves), since stress leads to low temperature and use of less oxygen and eventually to reliance on the glycolytic system that triggers cell division.

Therefor it is encouraged to warm body, like by bathing in hot-spring, and take lots of deep breaths to avoid development of cancer.

Mark 7 King James Version (KJV)
13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
