     Blood sedimentation is a way to measure the rate of how fast or slow blood settles, and the faster the blood falls, the more impure it is due to its weight. In medical science, 10 millimeters or above is considered impure and 10 millimeters or below is taken to be purer blood. If this were all there was, I would have no objections to considering a way to measure mechanically what I call those with impure blood and those with pure blood, but what cannot be overlooked here is that those with impure blood are suspected of having tuberculosis, and even work or labor is prohibited to them which is where the problems begin.
     According to my estimation, determining possessors of toxic blood to be potential patients of tuberculosis is hasty because common colds and slight fevers, from which it appears tuberculosis is contracted, are activities of the secondary purification functions that arise due to the accumulation of impure blood. Of course, it is a fact that possessors of impure blood have symptoms akin to those of the common cold, but it is premature to determine them to be tubercular or as potential tuberculosis patients based only on these factors. It is equivalent to assembling a great quantity of fire-fighting equipment when a bonfire is mistaken for a forest fire.
     The leading cause in the formation of possessors of impure blood from possessors of pure blood are the preventative vaccines that have come into continuous use recently. As has been explained in previous chapters, injecting vaccines and other abnormal or toxic material into the blood is nothing other than the way to create a possessor of impure blood.
     But specialists will probably say that injections prevent infectious diseases. I reply that infectious diseases are vigorous forms of purification activity which is a way of quickly decreasing the amount of impure elements in the blood, thus infectious diseases are natural physiological activities. In nations with populations of physical vigor, infectious diseases are prevalent, for which the best evidence is the slight decline of infectious diseases in the nations of Caucasians which show declining vigor. As individuals become possessors of impure blood through injections, purification activity slightly weakens, and contracting an infectious disease can be temporarily avoided, but afterwards physical vigor will decline, which is of course the main cause for the generation of tuberculosis. In line with these principles, there is another method to truly resolve the problem of infectious diseases, but this method goes beyond the topic of tuberculosis so is omitted here. This method has been explained in detail in my book Myōnichi no Ijutsu (Medicine for Tomorrow).
     But at this stage there is something that must be said. No matter how virulent the infectious disease, its harm is only temporary and is confined to only to one region of the body. Thus, an infectious epidemic is not something that will lead to the rise or fall of an entire nation state. Rather, it will lead to preventing infectious diseases and ideally reduce infectious diseases in the nation, but whether matters will actually proceed that way, regretfully the opposite to anticipated goals will occur. This fact does not require discussion. Look at England and France. They are both suffering from the gloomy fate of population decrease and actual physical decline. We are not deluded by temporary results but do see a future of prosperity and happiness for a nation if efforts are made to correct the situation.
     Another important issue is that for measuring blood sedimentation, the blood is taken from the upward part of the arm, but I object to this method. I object because this is the area where injected medicinal toxin is most likely to accumulate, so it is only natural that this area in particular has impure blood. According to medical theory, blood is the same everywhere within the body, but according to my research, throughout every part of the human body, blood is not settled, and there are huge differences in the density of the impurities. These differences exist because blood is continually circulating and accumulating in different local areas due to the purification process. This condition is nothing other than what is known as hyperemia. For example, blood vessels are akin to gutters, and when they are new or clean, the water flows quickly in large amounts, but in unclean gutters, water flows but slower and in less amounts due to mud and dregs. When the blood in each region is investigated, this point becomes easy to understand. As evidence of this, fever within the human body differs conspicuously by area. There are some individuals with differences of up to five and six degrees in the areas under the arm pits [where the body temperature is taken in Japan] of each side, so because taking body temperature under the arm pits or in the mouth as is customarily done is incomplete, each part of the body should have its own temperature taken, and I do think advancements in thermometers will make such measurements possible.
     Another mistaken notion of medical science is that even if medicinal toxin is ingested in the body, this toxin is eliminated naturally as time passes. Through my long experience, what is supposed to be put into the human body has been more or less set, so natural items such as drinks and food are expelled but when items cannot be expelled, a great deal of foreign substance that is not able to be eliminated will remain within the body, solidifying, and becoming the source for disease.
