    Ch.1 Colds and Fatigue
    There are many kinds of illnesses, but in my experience the illness that is most difficult to deal with
    is a cold. A healthy body has resilience. When I am inducing “katsugen undô” in people, I sometimes come across a person whose back is as rigid as a corpse’s. I ask him to relax, but he tenses himself instead. For a person like this, there is no difference between tensing himself and relaxing.
    Indeed, the more he tries to relax, the more he tenses himself. So his body has become wholly insensitive; he is unaware of illness or abnormalities, but nonetheless supposes that he is as
    strong as a horse.

    Cancer, leukemia, hepatitis, cerebral apoplexy — all these are illnesses that become serious before
    one is aware of them, and when one does become aware of them, it is too late: this is characteristic
    of today’s illnesses. The root of this kind of thing is a body that has become insensitive.

    When a cold is caught, an insensitive body to some extent recovers its elasticity.
    For this reason, the blood pressure of people with high blood pressure comes down. But it is less a matter of the blood pressure coming down than of the blood vessels becoming more supple. Blood vessels, too, have elasticity, and when they lose this elasticity and become stiff, they easily burst. In short, so long as the blood vessels are supple, they will not burst no matter how high the blood pressure climbs; but if they lose their elasticity, they will burst. So, rather than blood pressure, it is a matter of the degree of elasticity of the blood vessels, or of the hardening, of these vessels.

    If one’s body has become stiff, catching a cold will solve the problem.
    If only you pass through colds well, your blood pressure drops, the stiffness in your body disappears, and it will not happen that a part of your body is affected by illness. So if you catch colds, you will
    not succumb to apoplexy. Just have a look at the past of someone who has apoplexy.

    At a certain time this kind of person stops having colds: there is definitely such a time. If you do
    „katsugen undô“ for a certain period you catch colds readily, and then you catch them less often.

    If you observe carefully what happens during the period when colds are caught readily, you will see
    that the biased movement in various parts of the body is corrected, and that muscles which are stiff
    recover their resilience.

    Some people may attempt to interrupt a cold by trying to lower a fever in order to cure the cold
    quickly, or by trying to stop a cough, but while they are receiving, treatment, their bodies grow stiff
    and gradually become insensitive. My principal concern is to order the body, so I am against
    disordering the body in order to cure an illness.

    In any event, one should maintain one’s natural body in as natural a way as possible.

    This being the case, it is surely more significant to properly catch a cold and properly pass through
    it than to use all sorts of methods to cure it. So a cold is not something to be cured, it is something that must be passed through.

    But though one may try to have someone pass through a cold, it cannot be done unless one knows the characteristics of that person’s body well. By making these characteristics my starting point, I came to find the characteristics of „taiheki“.

    Colds and diarrhea are the most important of the body’s ways of maintaining itself in good condition;
    or, to put it another way, repeated slight colds and light bouts of diarrhea are bodily activities that lead to the body’s becoming sound. Sensitive people readily catch colds, and the kind of person who often catches a light cold has a sound body. So I often catch colds.

    But I pass through them within forty minutes to two hours. I generally do „katsugen undô“. That is all there is to my method of treatment; I usually pass through a cold only by breathing through my spine, or someone else can do „yuki“.

    Though they say cancer is difficult to treat, the difficulty cannot be compared with the difficulty of
    treating a cold. Even with cancer, if you catch a cold it will get better. Recently, cold germs have
    been used against cancer, and the cancer has disappeared, and there is now the hypothesis that
    catching a cold is a way of treating cancer. But this is not confined to cancer, nor to hardened
    arteries; I think a cold is the most efficacious remedy for a dulled body.

    The phenomenon we call a cold is an activity that occurs in a body that is trying to get better, so that
    while the body is dull, a cold will not be caught. The act of catching a cold is itself a demand for
    recovery, so that if a response arises in the body, it will get better.
