The cause of disease is pain, which dissolves and eliminates the mass of medicinal toxins in the body, and medicines reverse this pain, weakening and solidifying the toxins they try to dissolve. This is because the healthier a person is, the more vigorous the toxin elimination, or cleansing action is. Therefore, to stop the cleansing action is to weaken health. People who did not know this, in the past, sought out poisons and gave them to people to drink, weakening their bodies and purification and relieving pain. In this regard, Sugita Genpaku, a famous doctor of Chinese medicine, said:" Medicine is poison. To give medicine to cure a disease is to control poison with poison". However, it may be easier to say that controlling poison with poison is somewhat of a moot point. As long as you use poison to stop the excretion of poison, you add new poison on top of the old, so that a new mass of poison grows outside the old mass of poison, and the purification becomes more malignant than it was at first. As the body becomes weaker and weaker, so too does the cleansing process. The person who has become like this is pale, easily catches colds, lacks energy, is always under the care of doctors and medicines, looks like a living corpse, suffers all year round and becomes a miserable person who cannot do a full-fledged job. And even when this happens, the cause is not known, so they constantly change doctors, search for new medicines, moxibustion, spells, folk remedies, faith, etc., but again the root is not known, so after spending a lot of money, they end up suffering in the afterlife and the cause is attributed to medicine. This guilt is astonishing and frightening, that the cause of this is the fault of medicine.
