‘Message for Doctors and patients’
The human body and the automobile engine are similar vehicles. The heart is your engine; the blood is for gasoline; the lungs are the carburettors, the nerves are for sparkers or magnetos, and the stomach is fuel tank, roughly speaking. The human engine renews all worn-out parts or tissues; makes all repairs; eliminates all waste; makes its own gasoline (blood) and will give good service for ninety years or more, with privilege of renewal if you will only make conditions favourable; by simply applying in right proportions the four essential qualities of life; Proper eating, honest working, communicating and sufficient resting.
The neglect or regular abuse of any one of these four essentials qualities is the cause of all laziness, pessimism, sickness, pain, egotism, vice and crime. All criminals usually are psychosomatic diseased, and most diseased persons they have vicious and criminal tendencies. Diseases and wrong tendencies are easily preventable and curable, regardless of name or duration if the cause removed early. There are not many incurable diseases but only incurable patients that are impervious to truth like an oyster (closed). Medical drugs, toxic herbal remedies and all surgical operations do no more than suppress temporarily bodily discomfort at severe health cost later.
When your automobile will not work properly, you find out and remove the cause, but when your body engine will not work well, you follow an old superstition and throw into it many poisons (drugs); which if too frequently repeated, will cause you to have your appendix, tonsils, kidneys, gallbladder, and other vital organs removed, even heart, kidney and liver transplanted.
When you have too much alcohol, nicotine, excess of all kinds of food, drugs, and other poisonous by-products in your blood, your heart and arteries will not work right and we call this heart failure, arterial thrombosis, stroke e.c.t. Too much work and too little rest will exhaust your magnetos (nerves) eventually. A lack of regular exercise and cleanliness will fill the inside of your Corpomobile (body) with acid waste, mucus and other toxins (poisons). The outside of your body will break out in pimples, boils, wrinkles, barnacles and finally you will put yourself into a kind of useless in a active society .
Before getting into this kind of unpleasant situation, you have a sacrament duty to prevent that happening if you are willing to try. Internal cleanness is similarly to God likeness. If you are internally clean, you cannot be externally unclean. If your food is small, natural, and pure, your blood will be pure, and if your blood is pure your body, mind, and soul will be pure. It is easier to succeed in life with a clean and sound physical constitution, than with unclean and diseased one.
Tiredness, Fear, sleepiness, depression, headaches, poor memory, pains and lack of zest are all indications of excessive waste accumulated in your blood and organs. You lose nothing to ask for professional help, and if you follow your Doctor’s instruction faithfully, health and zest for life will return once again to you. Keeping body, mind and soul healthy is our own responsibility. It would be better to choose an experienced and reputable Doctor to benefit from his advice.
‘The true physicians are supposed to be honest health instructors, who teach his patients how to correct their living mistakes in order to become well and stay well. Any drug or herbal remedy prescribed by a qualified Doctor to cure disease and ignores the wrong living habits of the patient; he is a professional blunderer and legalised quack. Ignorance is the main life’s enemy and especially in the therapeutic sphere.

THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS
By Dr. Dimitri Karalis
The Russian writer Leo Tolstoy on his morning walk once observed a Caucasian farmer ploughing his land and singing out loud, stopping to ask him curiously. “Fellow countryman he said, if you knew for certainty that you will die this evening, what would you do for the rest of the day? Ah…….I will continue plowing until twilight falls, he replied joyfully”. Look at the happy fellow, whispered Tolstoy, so much he adores his work that even when death approaches him, it doesn’t scare him a bit!
Butterflies that live approximately forty-eight hours, work continuously by flying from flower to flower leaving countless eggs until their Soul departs them. Surely the work that brings supreme happiness has a reason to be loved so dearly?
The young children too are constantly moving when awake; they run, jump, play, imitate, cry and laugh at the smallest thing. Whatever moves in nature is healthier, stronger and doesn’t rust or fall ill so easily. On the contrary all still stones, forgotten tools and lazy fellowmen mould, rust and lose prestige much earlier. All living things on earth and in the universal planets are moving constantly. Fountains, rivers, winds, clouds, stars, solar systems, galaxies, and moons run and turn like spinning tops without rest.
Every healthy human being likes to be physically constructive, like the hard working bees and ants, because only when industrious he feels healthier and prosperous. Plato used to say, never exercise the mind alone, but always together with your body. Like the inseparable Siamese, anywhere the one goes the other also must. What treasured thing it is to be happily busy! And what a catastrophic mistake is to be habitually lazy? “Idle mind, devils garden” said a wise proverb.
When mind and body is not creatively occupied, they look for more food and other harmful habits. “Too much leisure and no work or play, makes Jack a dangerous bandit” says another American proverb.
A few years ago when I was approaching my retirement, I thought to slow- down a little and enjoy life with less working as before. I built a house on a mountain slope facing the Ocean and started to read, write, gardening and short walks. Unfortunately I did not calculate well the side-effect of dropping my work so suddenly. My body, mind and soul was not so happy with my abounded leisurely days, neither did my sleep refresh me as well as before. Being not so happy with my new development, I decided to do some extra work to avoid health deterioration. I remember once reading Plutarch’s work about the habits of Alexander the Great, who he never ate, breakfast or lunch and only took an early small supper.
Ten years later when his empire reached until the far Indian plains, he decides to return to his first colonial grounds and retire from any war activities. He started to eat regularly and have merry times daily with his officer friends. Unfortunately his royal festiveness did not last too long, as he died much too early at thirty three (33) years of age. I hear rumors that he died from catching a high fever, others that he had been poisoned by jealous officers and some say that he died from malaria.
I respect all these views, but I would like also to give my opinion. “I believe if he had some more colonies to conquer, surely he would had lived much longer”.
The secret of longevity is the love for work and not in idleness; we live to create, as this is the main purpose of our living.
The slothful drones, eat food from the honey-comb without replacing with new stock, for this reason the female bees kill them cold bloodedly for a better economy in the hive. Similar happens to the lazy characters; they are avoided, disliked and through illness removed from life earlier. Like an engine part that offers no useful work to the universal loom. Even the spirit is opposed to chronic laziness, as it communicates only with creative minds. “Laborare est orare” the Roman used to say, (work is my worship).
Perhaps that explained more clearly why idle theologians and clergies are not spiritual cultivated. I don’t deny that some of them could be good human beings, good, but not spiritual, the corpses too are always good.
Religious bigotry and celestial spirit is always opposed to one another; when fanaticism is established, celestial spirit is always absent. One can be deeply religious and spiritually ignorant, but never spiritual aware and ignorant. Spirit is obtained only by creative activity; it is a momentous living current and needs constant renewing like the oxygen that we breathe.
Any work though to be spiritually constructive, needs to satisfy the mind and soul first, otherwise it is like a servile labor that atrophies and weakens the individual. Every human is born with a certain inner call to explore in life, which is named talent, and when discovered, performed with inexhaustible passion and enviable perfections.
In vain we search to find work far way from our biological charisma, because rarely we will find pleasure and creativity in it. By allowing our minds to follow the inner magnetic voice, we discover instantaneous our real work. Like the desperate fishes out of water, who suddenly touching the river, lake or the sea, resume their lost happiness again?
The swallows gathers tender sticks with mortar of clay to build their nests under balconies, are happy.
The storks carry strong rods and resilient grasses to build their dwellings in high belfries are also happy.
What is the human happiness? “To know ourselves” said all wise thinkers, but only when our love for creativeness is our inseparable companion.
