The relationship between Human being and his body cells (Why we fall sick?)

“Human body cells are in fact the most faithful human being’s companions. The cells do not deceive. They do not camouflage. They do not hide anything form the master, i.e. the human being. If the master treats them well, they are full of vitality. If the master ill-treats them, they will react accordingly. When they cannot bear with the ill treatment, they will give him a message by letting the master fall sick.”
