我用身體的視角，長年記錄大環境裡所有的養生論述，看清非身體視角下論點的盲點。幾百篇的觀察筆記寫到如今，終於來到該為人類的病症下簡潔而有力結論的時候。

很難說一個人病倒是因為他做錯了什麼，卻能斬釘截鐵的說：他一定少做了什麼。生病是結果，因果法則不可挑戰，也不可能被顛覆。

蘋果爺爺的故事是最棒的啟發，他對「自然農法」的信任是一切的起點；他對山林與土壤的領悟，是故事起死回生的轉折；中間每一刻的等待，每一種生物的參與，都在為大自然的劇本貢獻養分。

這段「期間」長達八年，有可能是十年，甚至更久。重點不是年份，而是大自然從失衡回到平衡所需的時間。鄰居們的果園依然失衡，仍能長出蘋果，仍能賣出合理價錢，就像我們的身體，每天例行「施肥」，同時在必要時「噴藥」，好壓制症狀、撫平表面。

 

人類是倒行逆施的高手。身為二戰後出生的一代，我親眼見證自然生態被人類掠奪殆盡，換來文明與科技的高速發展。

我父親是戰後投入臨床的醫生，擅長處理傷口與感染，那時正是抗生素在人類世界投石問路的年代。進入21世紀，他結束醫療生涯，而我開始投入健康觀察與紀錄。癌症終結了父親的生命，而人類也在同一時刻開啟了癌症治療的新篇章。

化療與農藥，前者用在人身上，後者用在植物身上；雖然名稱不同，卻給人同樣的感受：違逆自然、製造傷害。

「以毒攻毒」源於中醫，如今藥物成為治療疾病的主要工具，即使帶毒，但仍是多數人賴以控制病情的手段。

醫療把「人定勝天」發揮到極致，完全忽視自然法則，也無視進化賦予人類的生存優勢。重點是，人們心甘情願買單。這一路上發生的失衡，甚至即將爆發的失控，都被我詳實記錄。

 

近十年，人類深刻體會到極端氣候。科學家早已預言，環保學者也早已對地球的未來示警，而你我心裡都很清楚：氣候惡化早已無法逆轉。

暴雨，我們早已習慣，可是在我童年，這樣的氣候不曾發生。如今的天候彷彿在報復人類，看著一幕幕無辜者被貪婪者犧牲的劇情，令人感慨。

商業電影裡，傭兵一一被殺，真正的幕後首腦卻全身而退。疫情與疫苗的劇本也雷同，疫苗的研發與製造者賺得盆滿缽滿，而接受注射的普羅大眾，多少人承受後遺症，多少人已經離世，卻無處申訴。

我曾用身體的視角記錄一種態度：自動、自主、無需指示，便能完成應做之事。這正是山林的演出，也正是大自然的原始劇場。

對照捷運車廂裡一排低頭滑手機的乘客，再對照醫院掛號大廳的大排長龍，你是否明白了什麼？是否突然想通了什麼？

人類會病成這樣，醫院只是冰山一角，只是結果的結果，只是人體極端氣候聚集的現場。

 

生病被定義為結果，沒病也會被定義成有病；吃藥甚至可以吃出更多的病。當你看不懂這齣戲在演什麼，回想百貨公司周年慶的瘋狂搶購，你就懂了：這一切的存在，背後都有操控。

當你有錢時，你能買什麼？你想買什麼？真正決定的不是你的需要，而是操控你視聽的人希望你買什麼。

從「創造消費需求」到「創造工作機會」，一句話就能拆解人類世界的運作；從「必須有飯吃」到「必須吃得更好」，一句話就能揭露人類永不滿足的欲望。

人類到底怎麼病倒的？我一路從飲食記錄到情緒，再從熬夜記錄到對藥物的依賴，最後在「意識與神識分離」的廣泛現象中，找到生病的共通性。

人把簡單的存在弄得複雜，我也把生病分析得複雜，真正的答案很簡單：人類違逆了大自然。最根本的起因，就是遠離了自然法則。

極端氣候是大自然的反撲，人類的重症同樣是大自然的反撲。若要為人類疾病下一個定義，我稱它為：「身體大自然的反撲」。

The Body’s Rebellion of Nature

For years, I have recorded all the discourses on health from the perspective of the body, exposing the blind spots of arguments made from outside that perspective. After writing hundreds of these observational notes, the time has finally come to deliver a concise yet powerful conclusion about humanity’s illnesses.

It is difficult to say that a person falls ill because of what they did wrong — but I can say with certainty that it is because of what they failed to do. Illness is an outcome, and the law of cause and effect cannot be challenged or overturned.

Grandpa Apple’s story is one of the most illuminating. His faith in “natural farming” was the starting point of everything. His insight into the mountains and soil became the turning point that brought the story back to life. Every moment of waiting, every living creature’s participation, nourished the script written by nature itself.

This “period” lasted eight years — perhaps ten, or even longer. The number of years is not what matters; what matters is the time nature needs to move from imbalance back to balance. The neighbors’ orchards remain imbalanced, yet they still produce apples and still fetch a reasonable price — just like our bodies, which are routinely “fertilized” every day and, when necessary, “sprayed with pesticide” to suppress symptoms and smooth the surface.

Humanity is a master of going against the grain. Born in the post-WWII generation, I have witnessed with my own eyes how natural ecosystems were plundered by human hands in exchange for rapid civilizational and technological progress.

My father was a doctor who entered clinical practice after the war, skilled at treating wounds and infections, just as antibiotics were testing the waters in the human world. By the time we stepped into the 21st century, he had ended his medical career, and I had begun my journey of observing and documenting health. Cancer ended my father’s life, even as humankind was simultaneously opening a new chapter in cancer treatment.

Chemotherapy and pesticides — one applied to humans, the other to plants — bear different names, but give the same impression: defying nature, manufacturing harm.

“To fight poison with poison” originated in Chinese medicine. Today, drugs have become the primary tools of treatment; though toxic, they remain the means by which most people control their illness.

Modern medicine pushes “man conquers nature” to its extreme, ignoring the laws of nature and the evolutionary advantages bestowed upon humanity. The key point is: people buy into this willingly. I have documented in detail the imbalances along this path — and the looming collapse that is about to erupt.

In the past decade, humanity has experienced the visceral reality of extreme weather. Scientists had long predicted it, environmentalists had long sounded the alarm, and deep down you and I know it well: climate deterioration is irreversible.

We are now accustomed to torrential rains, but such weather never occurred in my childhood. Today’s skies seem to take revenge on humankind, and watching the innocent sacrificed to the greedy plays like a tragic drama.

In commercial films, mercenaries are picked off one by one while the true mastermind escapes unscathed. The pandemic and vaccine narrative followed a similar script: the developers and manufacturers of vaccines profited enormously, while countless ordinary recipients bore the side effects — some even lost their lives — with no place to lodge their grievance.

I once recorded an attitude from the body’s perspective: automatic, self-directed, needing no instruction — yet able to complete what must be done. This is precisely how the forest performs, precisely the primal theater of nature.

Contrast this with the row of passengers in a subway car, all heads bent over their phones. Contrast it again with the endless lines at a hospital registration counter. Do you begin to see something? To understand something?

Humanity has fallen this sick — and hospitals are merely the tip of the iceberg, merely the result of results, merely the gathering ground of the body’s “extreme climate.”

Illness is defined as a result, yet even the absence of disease can be defined as illness. Taking medicine can even generate more diseases. If you do not understand the plot of this play, just recall the frantic shopping sprees of department-store anniversary sales — you will see that everything exists under someone’s orchestration.

When you have money, what can you buy? What do you want to buy? The true decision lies not in your need, but in what those who control your attention and perception want you to buy.

From “creating consumer demand” to “creating jobs,” a single phrase is enough to deconstruct the workings of the human world. From “must have food to eat” to “must eat better food,” a single phrase is enough to expose humanity’s insatiable desire.

How exactly did humanity fall ill? I traced it all — from diet to emotions, from sleep deprivation to dependence on medication — until finally I found the common thread of illness in the widespread phenomenon of “consciousness splitting from spirit.”

Humans complicate what is simple. I, too, have analyzed illness into complexity. Yet the real answer is simple: humanity has violated nature. The root cause is that we have strayed from natural law.

Extreme climate is nature’s backlash, and humanity’s severe illnesses are also nature’s backlash. If I were to define human disease, I would call it: “the body’s rebellion of nature.”
