Great Construction

Drugs Have Become Ineffective


     For quite a while I have been advocating that as the spiritual world brightens, the purifying function will strengthen and gradually medicines will lose their efficacy. Recently ineffective drugs have actually come to appear. Needless to say, the effect of medicines is to solidify toxins, and until now solidification has worked, but as purification turns increasingly stronger, solidification will not occur, a phenomenon that has become so conspicuous that even medical doctors perceive. It is indeed joyful. If matters proceed as they have so far, medicines will of course come to the point where they are not effective at all, and finally, drugs will produce reverse effects. With the application of medicine, the condition of the disease will worsen and become dangerous. Doctors will come to be so afraid, they will not be able to do anything. For the first time, even doctors will have doubts about medical science, and my views will begin to illuminate all. Spiritual healing will become generally known from this point, so the fact that medicines are losing their effectiveness suggests that that time is approaching.

Anomalies on the Frontline of the Battle with Venereal Diseases


     Since the appearance of penicillin, touted to be the savior from venereal diseases at the end of the war, new medicines such as Aureomycin and Terramycin have continued to appear, but venereal diseases do not disappear. Not only do the diseases not disappear, throughout society voices are heard that penicillin has become ineffective. That the situation has changed is probably because resistance has developed within the human body, or because medicines have become weaker. Dr. Shû Yukibuki, head of the Yoshiwara Hospital and Dr. Shûichirô Shôda, head of the Kaishundô Hospital talked about the change in treatment from previous times and about current conditions on the frontline of the battle with venereal diseases in our “Sex Class Room” column.

Clinical Use Undermines Theory—Penicillin Now Ineffective


     Doubts are being entertained about the effectiveness of penicillin, hitherto considered absolute, which Dr. Yukibuki explained as a clinician in the following way.
     When we first started using penicillin, we thought it would be the answer to our dream of completely eliminating gonorrhea. Penicillin was manufactured in a way that was easy to administer. In those circumstances, the amount of penicillin usage increased greatly. What was used at first was water-based crystallized penicillin. Its characteristics were that it was quickly absorbed and its density in the blood increased quickly, with fast rated discharge, so it had the drawback of having a short span of effectiveness. For this reason, there was much dissatisfaction because treatment had to be supplemented with additional injections several hours after the initial injection. However, when supplementary injections were continuously administered, results were indeed remarkable. As time went on, the density of the penicillin in the blood versus the gonorrhea germs was able to be maintained so that oil-soluble penicillin was developed. This is what is known as oil wax penicillin, and as a pain killer, it contains an oil-based procaine, and thus was born the penicillin mixed with substances such as stearic acid and albumen.
     Such substances were absorbed and density was maintained in the blood over long periods, and the drug became very convenient with one injection at a time being sufficient. However, after this medicine came to be actually used, the results when treating diseases such as gonorrhea worsened. In other words, 200,000 units were sufficient when the medicine was water-based, but when substances such as procaine were added, 300,000 units became the minimum, and doses amounting of up to 900,000 units had to be injected. Rather than saying that penicillin did not cure gonorrhea anymore, it is thought that because penicillin became more convenient to use, its density in the blood fell and it lost its efficacy. Even now, there are times when it is thought permissible to use water-soluble penicillin. The reasons are that physicians put too much trust in penicillin, thinking that merely giving injections is sufficient and also that patients have an amateurish approach to therapy, thinking that the blind and untracked use of injecting penicillin is the way drugs are to be used.
     When penicillin is injected, symptoms are relieved temporarily, but several days later when microbiological tests are conducted, about twenty percent of the patients are found not to be completely cured. Even when they believe they have been cured, they are actually in a chronic condition of a form of gonorrhea where they need injections of 900,000 units or else they cannot be cured. This is probably also a reason why complete recovery has become more difficult. In any case, penicillin has no resistance or durability. It is the accepted theory of the field that completely eliminating gonorrhea is impossible.
     However, the symptoms of the patients—depending on the time of affliction—are impossible to cure completely and results are lessened unless penicillin is selected with care and clinical and microbiological treatments are conducted.
     Then again, since the days when four or five injections of Salvarsan were sufficient to cure syphilis, the penicillin now in use has become pharmaceutically different and is esteemed for its safety. Previously, side effects were severe. But syphilis differs from gonorrhea, and halfway treatments that are continually repeated have given birth to conditions extremely difficult to cure. Looking at the future, it does appear that syphilis can be said to possess durability.

Germs That Defeat Good Medicine—A Savior to a Degree


     Next, Dr. Shôda explained about the changes in the treatment of sexual diseases.
     Syphilis was treated in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with mercury, but mercury went only so far in stopping progress of the disease. Salvarsan was invented in 1914, and results better than before were obtained, but by around 1931, what had been cured with one treatment within a week, became incurable unless massive doses were injected twice a week. Another drug that appeared in those days was bismuth which came out in 1921 to take the place of mercury, but it had no effect.
     From that time until 1946, treatment continued to be conducted with Salvarsan, but efficacy was gradually lost. At the time penicillin appeared as a savior. But with this as well, over time, what was healed with 300,000 units could not be healed, even in early stages of the disease unless 600,000 units were injected ten times. Even more so, in the second stage of syphilis, at least 9,000,000 units had to be injected in amounts of 3,000,000 units, and even with Salvarsan, more than thirty injections were necessary. So in stage three and above of the disease, it can not be imagined how much must have been injected to effect a cure.
     For gonorrhea, one medicine with comparative effectiveness at one time was the oral medicine Santal. But this drug only weakened the symptoms. Next appeared a drug containing a calcium-colored agent that was able to effect great improvement of symptoms. Sulfamin then appeared and effectiveness was greatly improved and it was even able to stop pus, but germs gradually grew resistant to it and efficacy weakened.
     After the end of the war, penicillin appeared and with one injection of 300,000 units, pus was stopped completely. At one time it was thought that syphilis could be eliminated from the world, but, as before, results lessened, and the point was reached where cure was not possible even with injection of extreme amounts. Later, streptomycin appeared, but neither was this a decisive weapon. Continuing on, new medicines with names like Chloromycetin, Terramycin, Aureomycin, and Erythromycin are cited, but these are all basically antibiotics that have been administered in therapy but have not become definite cures for sexual diseases.
