In my last essay I wrote about how syntropy medicine has begun to take its first steps. The syntropy medicine I am advocating utilizes the power of EM® to deal with diseases that conventional medicine finds difficult to treat, but we should note that this is not its primary job, but only a temporary, emergency measure.

As Prof. Toru Abo of the Medical Department of Niigata University has persuasively argued, the mechanism behind the occurrence of illness is a question of balance in the immune system, which is controlled by sympathetic and para-sympathetic nerves. The cause of disease is various kinds of stress that destroy this balance. Briefly put, it is undeniable that the root cause lies in individual lifestyles that exceed a person’s ability to cope.

But this goes beyond the level of the individual. Our society is built upon a struggle for existence premised on competition and confrontation. Various new technologies, the result of strategic thinking, are created one after another, and accompanying these are chemical materials, waste matter and pollutants, which lead directly and indirectly to enormous amounts of stress. These types of stress induce the formation of excessive free radicals in the environment and the body, which are destructive and lead to illness.

As I have always emphasized, illness can be viewed as the sum total of distortions in the way both the individual and society operate. Therefore it is critical for us to close in on the essence of living, and create a social structure that allows us to fulfill our natural lifespans free of disease, and a total system of health maintenance that takes into account both diet and the environment.

The lifestyles we have had up to the present have been based on the existing social system and values, the unspoken agreement that one should always strive to be on top. In this system there are very few areas in which individual responsibility can play a role. Thus there have been periods in which such sayings as, "Give it everything you have until you get sick," or "Fools never get sick" were common, a period in which illness was seen as a measure of how hard people are striving to achieve and succeed. There is still no awareness that "Illness is a sin against one's life" or, in another sense "a sin against society."

If we create laws that would fine people who get sick and greatly reduce the tax burden for those who do not—with the exception of those who are hurt in accidents or who fall victim to delayed genetic dysfunction—and if we spend the majority of school education in teaching students how to participate in community work and have lifestyles that do not lead to illness, it will be possible for people to continue working until they are eighty years old, and even beyond this the elderly will still remain a group of wise counselors and a valuable support to society.

In order to accomplish this, however, we need to completely change the way we address problems related to food and the environment. Results up till now make clear that using EM® will not only ensure a safe supply of food but will also substantially improve food’s functionality. There is no need here to reiterate the results EM® has achieved in the environment. It is abundantly clear that if not only individuals but society as a whole would utilize EM® like the air and water, the majority of problems related to food, the environment, and health can be solved.

Thailand is beginning to demonstrate how the majority of the causes of illness can be effectively addressed through the use of EM Technology®. In Thailand the system is set up so there is a fixed budget for treatment of illness and public treatment is free to the individual. If the illness cannot be treated within this system, then the individual can pay out of pocket for high cost treatment at private hospitals.

In other words, it is a system which aims at keeping people healthy and in which hospital management costs are kept under control by reducing as much as possible the number of ill people. As long as the methods follow these goals, and are under the supervision of doctors, patients are free to try different types of treatments.

As I have written earlier, at present in over thirty large public hospitals in Thailand patients are being given Activated EM•1® to drink and are being instructed in how to live the EM® lifestyle. Patients are taught first of all how to make Activated EM•1®, hygiene measures using EM®, how to grow vegetables using EM-recycled food waste, how to use EM® in washing and cooking, and how to make their own health drinks of Activated EM•1® and medicinal herbs.

There are several provincial hospitals that have been following this for 4-5 years, and they have been pleased to see a vast decrease in the number of patients, which has made managing the hospital much easier.

Poor farmers in Thailand who have adopted the EM® lifestyle have been able to grow an abundance of healthful farm products at low cost, and have thus severed the link between poverty and disease. Further, they have provided information regarding this to others and there has been a great increase in the number of people enjoying a truly volunteer-oriented life. Some people say the Thai system discriminates between the rich and the poor. However it is important to squarely face the fact that in the majority of cases in which illnesses can’t be resolved through treatment in ordinary hospitals and the patient seeks expensive treatment at private hospitals, this is mostly pointless treatment that makes people feel better as it just temporarily prolongs their lives.

As I have often said, I am certain that when EM® becomes as commonly used as the air and water, it will be possible to convert from a medical system that treats disease to one that aims at the absence of disease. In order to do this we must make more people aware of the reality that most medical technology is unnecessary and powerless against intractable diseases.

Therefore, in syntropy medicine we are giving precedence to people who have diseases that existing medical technology cannot easily treat, with the goal of keeping the individual's costs at a minimum (below 30%). In any case if there is no improvement in the patient's condition we will not charge them.

As a next step I am considering how to make the elderly healthier. I would like syntropy medicine to contribute to the so-called GNP movement, which aims at making nursing care for the elderly unnecessary or reduce it to a minimum. (GNP stands for three words in Japanese: G=Genki, meaning healthy; N=Nagaiki, or a long life, contributing to society; and P=Pokkuri, fulfill your natural lifespan.)

From the third of this month in the EM Wellness Center we have opened the Shokokai Healthcare Corporation, which will put into practice syntropy medicine. We would like to be of service to those with diseases that existing medicine has diagnosed as intractable, and those who have been told they need expensive treatment, so please feel free to contact them. Our examinations will be not be hard on the body; most will consist of taking only a drop of blood and determining the dynamic state of the somatids in the blood. It would be beneficial if patients bring their complete medical records with them when they visit.
