The more Western medicine you take, the worse your health, and the faster you age and die. Just as the French writer Molière (1622-1673) said, “Nearly all men die of their medicines, and not of their illness.”[i] Modern Western medicine damages our health is because both medical procedures and drugs can create problems in the body’s energy system.
Surgeries and Operations
The physical organ may have no problem, but the organ’s energy system is blocked, causing circulation problems for the physical organ, after which the organ begins to malfunction. Once the energy system is working smoothly again and the physical organ is receiving the energy it needs, it returns to normal and its illness goes away. With an operation, a physical organ may be removed, but an energy blockage will remain. Worse, the operation may break meridians so that energy cannot flow freely into the area where the operation was done, causing additional blockages. You and your body will need to work even harder to rid of these added blockages in order to return to health.
Drugs and Medications
Modern Western medicines are mostly synthetic. Pharmaceuticals are alien to our bodies. We need extra energy to process, detoxify, and expel these drugs from our bodies. Drugs may waste life energy and weaken our energy system. They may cause us to lack the energy to resist illness. Symptoms may be gone, and we may feel better with fewer symptoms, but the illness remains.
Symptoms caused by an illness are not always bad. As we resist an illness, we build up our immune systems to protect ourselves from future diseases. Taking drugs right away may temporarily relieve symptoms, but it does not allow us to build up our immune systems. Also, the illness may spread further inside the body, until even more serious illnesses result. There is a Chinese saying: “Let small sicknesses come and heal, there is no big illness; never get a sickness symptom and a cure, then a serious disease is waiting for you.” Do not casually use drugs, which interfere or even keep us from fighting off illness and from strengthening our immune systems.
Take drugs and use modern medicines only when necessary and in emergencies.
Taking drugs is not a means to good health and should not be used as a long-term strategy. If you do not take care of your energy problems, especially after Western medical treatments, energy problems and Western treatments may cause serious long-term damage.
If you have the basic knowledge of the body’s energy system, you can understand what I am talking about easily and deeply understand why modern medicine damages our health. But if not, my book Total Life Energy Plan – How to Cultivate Life Energy for Long-Term Health and Vitality has the detail explanation on the body’s energy system, as well as how to care for it naturally to prevent and heal illnesses.
