CHO-WA - The health benefits and stories of
CHO-WA
II
DR. KUMATO
Dr. Kumato, who was introduced to Sensei years ago by his most revered
college teacher, had witnessed Sensei heal countless individuals.
In many cases these individuals would have been certainly labelled
hopeless by modern doctors. For more than thirty years, Dr. Kumato
had tried in vain to convince Sensei to reveal his amazing healing
formulas.
Dr. Kumato was famous in his own right. Educated as a bio-chemist,
he was the founder of Kumato Labs, internationally renowned for
bringing traditional Japanese remedies to the world. Dr. Kumato
believed deeply in the union of science and nature. His genius lay
in his abilities to mass produce traditional remedies, using strict
pharmaceutical manufacturing standards without compromising the
synergistic effects of the original formula.
Kumato Labs had built its great reputation by producing health products
of impeccable quality. But Dr. Kumato knew his product line would
never be complete until he had Sensei's secret healing formulas.
He considered them to be the crown jewels of Japan's traditional
healing remedies. Perhaps the greatest healing formulas, not only
in Japan, but in all the world. Nothing he had ever seen produced
by other health companies approached the effectiveness of Sensei's
healing formulations. He was aware that Sensei was using many of
the same ingredients other traditional healing formulas contained,
but Sensei had somehow discovered the "golden" combinations.
Every month Dr. Kumato would visit Sensei in hopes of convincing
him to finally reveal his precious formulas. Sometimes he waited
for hours to talk with Sensei, who was usually busy attending people
in need. When Sensei broke free he kindly listened to Dr. Kumato's
pleas, but always gave the same answer: "Nature holds the secret,
not I." It didn't matter hoe he asked the question or how many
times he asked. The answer was always the same.
Over the years Dr. Kumato had all but accepted that Sensei would
never reveal his secret healing formulas to him. However, Dr. Kumato
had grown so fond of Sensei that he never missed his monthly trip
to the mountains. Just to see and talk to the people that Sensei
healed was more than enough.
On one
visit he met Yoshi who impressed Dr. Kumato because of his boundless
energy and vitality. When Yoshi spoke about Sensei it was as if
he were speaking about Buddha himself. According to Yoshi, who was
97, he made his first trip to visit Sensei when he was 86. Yoshi
heard about Sensei from a friend whose sister had been healed by
Sensei. At that time Yoshi believed he would die soon but was not
ready. Yoshi related how his life force was nearly gone when he
decided to make the arduous sixteen hundred kilometre journey by
train from Hokkaido to Kyushu. He didn't know if he would survive
the train ride.
When he finally arrived at the base of the mountain he could no
longer walk. He felt what little life force he had leaving his body.
He lost consciousness. Yoshi was not sure what happened next. When
he awoke he was lying on his back upon a futon in Sensei's house.
Sensei gave him a cool drink. It tasted different from anything
he knew, but it wasn't bad.
By the
next day Yoshi's life force was returning. Yoshi said he was give
the same cool drink each day by Sensei. Soon he noticed his shaky
hands had steadied, and his energy was increasing. Substantially
increasing!
So profound
was his recovery that Yoshi volunteered to stay and work in what
ever manner he could to help Sensei. Apparently Sensei agreed, because
when Dr. Kumato talked to Yoshi, he had been living on the mountain
for eleven years. In no way was Yoshi's story unique. It was rather
typical.
Kiyoko, who wouldn't give her age to Dr, Kumato, told him how she
had been healed by Sensei of a chronic condition of "nerves".
So terrible was her anxiety she almost never left her house. One
morning the man who delivered her groceries told her bout Sensei,
who had recently healed his aunt of a similar condition.
Kiyoko
realised she lived only 30 kilometres from Sensei, but the thought
of actually going out in public, riding on a train, seeing unfamiliar
people, maybe forgetting something, or, heaven forbid, getting lost
in a strange town, was more than she could bear. No, she wouldn't
go to see him. And who knows…he probably couldn't heal her
anyway. And besides, none of the medicine her doctors gave her ever
did any good.
Two days later, a woman showed up at her door. She was the grocery
delivery man's aunt. She said she would accompany Kiyoko on her
visit to Sensei. They should leave right away. Before Kiyoko could
object the woman gently took her hand, shut the front door, and
led her to the train station. Kiyoko was nearly in shock. Her heart
was racing, she could hardly breathe. But for some reason she held
onto the woman's hand and followed her. She looked straight ahead
while riding on the train, never venturing to glance at the many
strangers.
Finally
on their walk up the trail leading to Sensei's house, Kiyoko began
to relax, but not completely. It was only after she finished the
cool drink that Sensei gave her upon arriving that she completely
relaxed.
Kiyoko
told Dr. Kumato that she stayed at Sensei's house for three months.
Tears ran down her cheeks as she explained how Sensei had completely
transformed her life.
Before her visit to Sensei, Kiyoko would awaken very late every
morning. She almost never exercised, fearing both the outdoors and
the possibility that she might injure herself during even the slightest
physical exertion. Her main activity was eating. She was considerably
overweight, an unusual condition for a Japanese woman.
It was hard for Dr. Kumato to imagine that this thin attractive
woman talking confidently to him could have ever been overweight
or, for that matter, insecure.
While staying with Sensei, Kiyoko began to awaken earlier. After
one week she got up regularly at sunrise. Kiyoko started every day
with the same cool drink prepared by Sensei. Soon her ferocious
appetite began to subside. Her energy increased by leaps and bounds.
She found herself taking long walks in the forest, at first alone,
and then with other people who would drop in to see Sensei.
She was making friends for the first time in her life. Kiyoko discovered
that she adored the outdoors, but what she loved most was talking
to people. So much so, that Kiyoko later became employed as a public
speaking teacher in her home town, winning several awards for her
activities. She was also now the official spokeswoman for (SPN)
the local society for the preservation of nature.
Kiyoko made it a point to see Sensei every month, to walk in the
forest, make more new friends, and of course to get a fresh supply
of Sensei's very special drink.
It was seeing healing miracles like Yoshi, Kiyoko, and numerous
others that always made Dr. Kumato's journey to the mountain worthwhile,
even if Sensei would never reveal his incredible formulas to him.
Thus, Dr. Kumato was utterly shocked on his three hundred and seventy
second visit when, instead of giving his usual reply to Dr. Kumato's
perfunctory request, Sensei said, "What are you going to do
with it?"
For a moment Dr. Kumato didn't know what Sensei meant or what to
say. But he was cutely aware that this was a profound moment. He
paused and then said, "I will try and help as many people as
I can." Sensei gave no reply. He simply walked to the back
room of his house and then returned with a scroll. He invited Dr.
Kumato to sit and enjoy a cup of green tea.
