If Poison Kills the Whole Body, Why Do We Treat Just One Part?

Have you ever watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games? You see thousands of people, each wearing a different color, standing together on a field. From high above, they don't look like people anymore. They look like a giant flower. Then they disperse and reassemble, and suddenly they’ve formed a magnificent peacock. They move again, and now you see a national flag waving.

But of course, there is no real flower, peacock, or flag on that field. There are only people. It is their collective unity that creates the beautiful image.

If you can understand this simple, powerful idea, then I believe you can understand the deepest truth about your own body.

Your Body Is a Living Mosaic

I want you to imagine that your hair is just millions of tiny cells wearing black dresses, all standing together. Your ear is millions of other cells, grouped in a specific shape. From your nose to your heart to your kidneys, every single part of you is made of cells. If you were to look at any part of your body under a microscope, from your head to your toes, you would see only one thing: cells.

These cells are incredibly diverse. Some are black, some are red, some are white. Some are round, some are long, some look like noodles. The cells in your eyes have the job of seeing. The cells in your ears have the job of hearing. The cells in your stomach work to digest food.

They are as different as people in the world. Some of us are fat, some are lean; some are engineers, some are construction workers. We can be classified by our color, profession, or nationality. But fundamentally, the basic structure of every human being is the same.

The same principle applies to our cells. Despite their different shapes, colors, and functions, their basic architecture is identical. Every cell has a membrane, cytoplasm, a nucleus, chromosomes, DNA. They all live, eat, create waste, get sick, and die in the same way.

One Treatment to Rule Them All

This brings me to a crucial point that forms the bedrock of my entire philosophy. When every cell in your body is built from the same fundamental blueprint, how can the treatment for different parts of the body be different?

Think about it. When you eat food, do you eat separately for each organ? "This bite is for my heart, this one is for my eyes." When you drink water, do you sip a little for your joints and a little for your hands? No. You eat, drink, and breathe for the whole body.

Everything you take in is divided equally among all the cells. And everything that comes out, comes out as one. Can you separate your urine and say, "This came from my nose, and this came from my eyes"? Of course not. All the solid waste from every cell comes out together as stool.

Your body is a unified community. If you touch a hot stove, the heat in your finger dissipates quickly because all the cells in your body immediately share the burden. They work together. So why do we insist on treating them separately?

The Poison and the Psychology

If you are still skeptical, let me pose a simple question. If you put a drop of poison on your tongue, does only your mouth die? Or does the entire body die? Within minutes, every part of your body is affected, because everything is shared.

Diseases like diabetes, asthma, or cancer, in my opinion, do not exist in one isolated part. They are distributed throughout the entire system. Treating one specific body part for a systemic problem is like trying to dry up one corner of a flooded room.

I know this is difficult to accept. It goes against everything we've been taught. But this is because of a quirk in human psychology: we believe bad news instantly, but we question good news relentlessly.

 

If someone says, "Diabetes can never be cured," people nod and resign themselves to a lifetime of medication. But if I say, "Diabetes can be cured," people call me a fool. But what is our objective? Is it to be right about the disease, or is it to get well?

Become the Snake Charmer of Your Own Body

I believe wisdom is the real medicine. We are afraid of disease because we don't understand it.

Imagine a snake suddenly appears in a crowded room. People scream and run in every direction. But one person stands calmly, without a trace of fear. Who is he? He's the snake charmer. He knows the snake's nature, its habits, and how to handle it. His knowledge erases his fear.

My goal is to help you become the snake charmer of your own body. Once you understand the cell, how it lives, how it gets sick, and how it heals, you will no longer be afraid. A person who knows how to cure a single cell knows how to cure the entire body.

So, as we go forward, we will focus less on individual body parts and more on the fundamental unit of life. It may feel like a science class at times, but this knowledge is the treatment. Once you have wisdom about your body, disease cannot thrive.
