Time must be guarded. Every bit of time, every day that passes, is not just a day, but a life concern.

When R. Shmuel of Lubavitch was seven, his father once remarked to him: The kindness and special quality in G-d's making man upright, to walk erectly, is that though he walks on the earth he sees the Heavens; not so with beasts that go on all fours: they see only the earth.

There are two general approaches in healing a bodily illness: a) to heal the particular organ or faculty that is defective, sick or weak; b) to strengthen the healthy organs and faculties so that they may overcome and heal those not well.
