Chemicals and medicines affect only the outer physical composition of the bodily cells and do not alter the inner atomic structure or life principle of the cells. In many cases no cure of disease is possible until the healing power of God has corrected, from within, the imbalance of "lifetrons" or intelligent life energy in the body. The two basic causes of disease are underactivity and overactivity of the life energy, prana, that structures and sustains the body. The improper functioning of any one(or more) of the five governing pranic currents - vyana, circulation; udana, metabolism; samana, assimilation; prana, crystalization; and apana, elimination - adversely affects bodily health. When the natural harmonious balance of these subtle energies is restored by God's divine power, the atomic balance of the physical cells they nourish is restored; the healing is perfect, and often instantaneous. So long as balanced vitality is maintained by right living, proper diet, and pranayama meditation (life-energy control techniques), the body's own life energy "electrocutes" disease before it can develop.
