Revelation 14:6-7 "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having THE
EVERLASTING
GOSPEL TO PREACH UNTO THEM THAT DWELL ON THE EARTH, and to every nation,
and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, FEAR GOD AND GIVE GLORY TO
HIM; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea,and the fountains of waters.
1Corinthians 10:31 "WHETHER THEREFORE YE EAT OR DRINK, OR WHATSOEVER YE
DO, DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD."
Isaiah 55:2 "...EAT YE THAT WHICH IS GOOD..."
Romans 12:1 "...Present your bodies a LIVING SACRIFICE..."
The Dangers of Flesh foods in the last days:
Hosea 3:5-4:3 "...IN THE LATTER DAYS... SHALL THE LAND MOURN, AND EVERY ONE
THAT DWELLETH THEREIN SHALL LANGUISH, WITH THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD, AND
WITH THE FOWLS OF HEAVEN; YEA, THE FISHES OF THE SEA ALSO SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY."
***TAKEN AWAY = To Die of Sickness and Disease
In 2010:
Chickens have the Flu Cows are mad and Fish are full of Mercury
Deuteronomy 14:20-21 "But of all clean fowls ye may eat. YE SHALL NOT EAT OF ANY
THING THAT DIETH OF ITSELF."
The Dangers of Flesh Food:
"FLESH WAS NEVER THE BEST FOOD; BUT ITS USE IS NOW DOUBLY
OBJECTIONABLE, SINCE DISEASE IN ANIMALS IS RAPIDLY INCREASING...PEOPLE ARE
CONTINUALLY EATING FLESH THAT IS FILLED WITH TUBERCULOSIS AND CANCEROUS GERMS. TUBERCULOSIS, CANCER, AND OTHER FATAL DISEASES ARE THUS COMMUNICATED."{MH 313.2}
"THE LIABILITY TO TAKE DISEASE IS INCREASED TENFOLD BY MEAT
EATING...YOUR SAFEST COURSE IS TO LET MEAT ALONE." {2T 63.3}
"THE EFFECTS OF A FLESH DIET MAY NOT BE IMMEDIATELY REALIZED; BUT THIS
IS NOEVIDENCE THAT IT IS NOT HARMFUL. Few can be made to believe that IT IS THE MEAT THEY HAVE EATEN WHICH HAS POISONED THEIR BLOOD AND CAUSED THEIR
SUFFERING. MANY DIE OF DISEASES WHOLLY DUE TO MEAT EATING, while the real cause is not suspected by themselves or by others. {MH 315.1}
What about Fish?
"In many places FISH become so contaminated by the filth on which they feed as to be a cause
of disease. This is especially the case where the FISH come in contact with the sewage of large
cities.
The FISH that are fed on the contents of the drains may pass into distant waters and may be
caught where the water is pure and fresh. Thus when used as food they bring disease and death on those who do not suspect the danger."{MH 314.3}
It is true that:
"WE ARE NOT TO MAKE THE USE OF FLESH FOOD A TEST OF FELLOWSHIP,
BUT WE SHOULD CONSIDER THE INFLUENCE THAT PROFESSED BELIEVERS WHO
USE FLESH FOODS HAVE OVER OTHERS."(9T 159.3)
BUT It shouldn't take them long to advance to a healthier diet either.
"Truths that we have been years learning must be learned in a few months by those who now
embrace the Third Angel's Message...THOSE WHO EMBRACE THE TRUTH NOW WILL
HAVE TO STEP FAST."(1 MR 33.4)
When dealing with those who still eat meat, the following should be kept in mind:
Eight Rules for Eating Flesh:
1. Must Be Clean (Leviticus 11/Deuteronomy 14)
2. No Fat (Leviticus 3:17)
3. No Blood (Leviticus 3:17)
4. No Blemish (Leviticus 3:1)
5. Not strangled (Acts 15:20)
6. Can not be cooked in it's Mother's milk (Deuteronomy 14:21)(example: No Stroganoff)
7. Not Dying of Itself (Deuteronomy 14:21)
8. Must be eaten by the third day (Leviticus 19:5-7)
Eating Flesh Causes the following:
#1. an appetite for liquor (CD 268) #2. contaminated blood (CD 384)
#3: apoplexy(a sudden deprivation of all sense and voluntary motion)(2SM 419)
#4. blood filled with cancerous tumors and scrofulous tumors (3T 56.3)
#5. cancers (MH 313) #6. cholera (4sG-a 147) #7. convulsions (2SM 419)
#8. cramps (2SM 419) #9. fainting spells (CH 531) #10. fevers (2T 153.2)
#11. pain (CH 575-576) #12. death (CH 575-576) #13. inflammation (MM 278)
#14. unhealthy muscles (CD 387) 15. excited nerves (CH 114)
#16. passions excited (Ed 203) #17. poisons of the worst kind (2T 404-405)#18. resistance to disease is lowered(compromised immune system)(CD 386-387)
#19. scrofula(tumors in the glands of the neck, under the chin and in the armpits)(CD 388)
#20. secret vice(masturbation) encouraged in childhood (CD 399-400)
#21. injured stomach (2T 486)
#22. sudden DEATH (2SM 419)
#23. perverted taste buds (2T 486)
#24. TB(tuberculosis) (CD 388)
#24. tumors (CD 383)
#25. is harmful especially to the children (2T 362/CD 232-233)

Something to also keep in mind:
"IT IS A MISTAKE TO SUPPOSE THAT MUSCULAR STRENGTH DEPENDS ON THE USE
OF ANIMAL FOOD. The needs of the system can be better supplied, and more vigorous health can
be enjoyed, without its use. The grains, with fruits, nuts, and vegetables, contain all the nutritive
properties necessary to make good blood. These elements are not so well or so fully supplied by
a flesh diet. HAD THE USE OF FLESH BEEN ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH AND STRENGTH,
ANIMAL FOOD WOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE DIET APPOINTED MAN IN THE
BEGINNING."MH
316.2}
A question people often ask is "If Jesus ate fish and flesh food, why can't we eat it today?"
The meat in Jesus' day was not contaminated with mercury and other diseases that we have
today.
Also, the way the meat in the market is prepared today is not according to biblical guidelines.
Proverbs 4:18 "the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the
perfect day."
Acts 3:20-21 "And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom THE
HEAVEN MUST RECEIVE UNTIL THE TIMES OF RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS,
WHICH GOD
HATH SPOKEN BY THE MOUTH OF ALL HIS HOLY PROPHETS SINCE THE WORLD
BEGAN."
***Note: RESTITUTE = To restore as in the beginning
"Vegetables, fruits, and grains should compose our diet. NOT AN OUNCE OF FLESH MEAT
SHOULD ENTER OUR STOMACHS. THE EATING OF FLESH IS UNNATURAL. WE ARE
TO RETURN TO GOD'S ORIGINAL PURPOSE IN THE CREATION OF MAN."{CD 380.2}
"THOSE WHO HAVE RECEIVED INSTRUCTION REGARDING THE EVILS OF THE USE
OF FLESH FOODS, tea, and coffee, and rich and unhealthful food preparations, and who are
determined to make a covenant with God by sacrifice, WILL NOT CONTINUE TO INDULGE THEIR APPETITEFOR FOOD THAT THEY KNOW TO BE UNHEALTHFUL. GOD DEMANDS THAT THE APPETITE BE CLEANSED, and that self-denial be practiced in regard to those things which are not good.
THIS IS A WORK THAT WILL HAVE TO BE DONE BEFORE HIS PEOPLE CAN STAND
BEFORE HIM A PERFECTED PEOPLE."{CD 381.2}
"THOSE WHO PROFESS TO BE FITTING FOR TRANSLATION SHOULD NOT BECOME
BUTCHERS."{2T 60.3}
"What man with a human heart, who has ever cared for domestic animals, could look into their
eyes, so full of confidence and affection, and willingly give them over to the butcher's knife? How
could he devour their flesh as a sweet morsel? {MH 316.1}
"AMONG THOSE WHO ARE WAITING FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD, MEAT
EATING WILL EVENTUALLY BE DONE AWAY; FLESH WILL CEASE TO FORM A PART OF THEIR DIET. WE SHOULD EVER KEEP THIS END IN VIEW, AND ENDEAVOR TO WORK STEADILY TOWARD IT."(CD 380.4)
One Last Thing to keep in Mind:
"If our appetites clamor for the flesh of dead animals, it is a necessity to fast and pray for the
Lord to give His grace to deny fleshly lusts which war against the soul. {MM 283.1}
Something to ponder:
NOT EATING FLESH IS SO SERIOUS, THAT GOD CALLS IT AN EVIL THING FOR
MINISTERS TO DO AND SAYS IF THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE MESSAGE FOR SOME TIME AND ARE STILL EATING IT THAT GOD'S PEOPLE ARE NOT TO SIT UNDER THEM TO LISTEN TO THE MESSAGES THEY PREACH.
"Let not any of our ministers set an evil example in the eating of flesh meat..."{CD 399.3}
"Those who love the truth and appreciate the question of temperance in all its bearings SHOULD
NOT BE PLACED IN THE CHARGE OF A MINISTER WHO HAS NOT HEEDED THE
LIGHT GOD HAS GIVEN UPON HEALTH REFORM. WHAT HELP CAN A MAN BE TO A CHURCH IF HE IS NOT WALKING IN THE LIGHT?" {MM 238.3}

The truth about salt.
Today we will be discussing the facts and fictions about Salt:
"SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS are handling momentous truths...IT IS OUR DUTY TO
UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT THE PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH REFORM. ON THE
SUBJECT OF TEMPERANCE WE SHOULD BE IN ADVANCE OF ALL OTHER PEOPLE."{9T 158.1}
"THOSE WHO PLACE THEMSELVES UNDER THE INSTRUCTION OF THE GREAT
MEDICAL MISSIONARY, to be workers together with Him, WILL HAVE A KNOWLEDGE THAT THE WORLD, WITH ALL ITS TRADITIONARY LORE, CANNOT SUPPLY."{CH 371.3}
"He would have us understand that IT IS A MISTAKE TO REGARD AS MOST ESSENTIAL
THE EDUCATION GIVEN BY PHYSICIANS WHO REJECT THE AUTHORITY OF CHRIST, the greatest Physician who ever lived upon the earth. WE ARE NOT TO ACCEPT AND FOLLOW THE VIEW OF MEN WHO REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE GOD AS THEIR TEACHER, BUT WHO LEARN OF MEN, AND ARE GUIDED BY MAN-MADE LAWS AND RESTRICTIONS."{MedEv, April 1, 1910 par. 2}
Why not?
"THE WORLD SHOULD BE NO CRITERION FOR US."(4T 35.3} WHY NOT?
"THE LIGHT GOD HAS GIVEN IN MEDICAL MISSIONARY LINES will not cause His
people to be regarded as inferior in scientific medical knowledge, but WILL FIT THEM TO STAND UPON THE HIGHEST EMINENCE. GOD WOULD HAVE THEM STAND AS A WISE AND
UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE BECAUSE OF HIS PRESENCE."{CT 476.2}
Things to keep in mind:
" IT IS ESSENTIAL BOTH TO UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLES INVOLVED IN THE
TREATMENT OF THE SICK AND TO HAVE A PRACTICAL TRAINING THAT WILL ENABLE ONE RIGHTLY TO USE THIS KNOWLEDGE."{MH 127.2}
"EVERY PERSON SHOULD HAVE A KNOWLEDGE OF NATURE'S REMEDIAL
AGENCIES AND HOW TO APPLY THEM."{MH 127.2}
Some essential things to know about salt:"SALT IS GOOD:.."(Mark 9:50)
"Let your speech be always with grace, SEASONED WITH SALT..."(Even the bible uses
analogies about Seasoning with salt, showing the importance of its use)(Colossians 4:6)
"DO NOT EAT LARGELY OF SALT."(MH 305.1}
***Note....Only about 500 mg (1/5 tsp.) is all that is needed per day....
" Food...SHOULD NOT BE ROBBED OF THAT WHICH THE SYSTEM NEEDS. I USE
SOME SALT, AND ALWAYS HAVE, BECAUSE SALT, INSTEAD OF BEING DELETERIOUS, IS ACTUALLY ESSENTIAL FOR THE BLOOD."{CD 344.2}
***Note: It is a mistake and a very dangerous thing to teach that people that they should not eat
salt....A lack of salt(iodine) can cause many serious medical conditions such as:
a. THYROID GOITER; b. FIBROCYSTIC BREAST DISEASE; c. DRY SKIN; d.
DECREASED ABILITY TO SWEAT; e. LACK OF DIGESTIVE PRODUCTION; f. STOMACH CANCER; g. DRY EYES; h. DRY MOUTH; i. CYSTS IN THE OVARIES AND MANY OTHER
DISEASES....Also, MOST ALZHEIMERS AND MENTAL DISEASES COME FROM A LACK OF IODINE More things to know about salt:
TABLE SALT HAS BEEN ROBBED OF THE ELEMENTS NECESSARY TO MAKE GOOD
BLOOD...All that it has are Sodium, Chloride and Iodine...The Sodium and Chloride without the
other minerals like Potassium and Magnesium causes there to be an imbalance in the body leading to
unhealthful conditions such as High Blood Pressure and Edema (swelling of the extremities)
EVEN SEA SALT, UNLESS IT SAYS WITH IODINE, IS UNHEALTHY. IT TOO HAS BEEN
PROCESSED, REFINED, BLEACHED AND ROBBED OF ELEMENTS TO MAKE GOOD
BLOOD...IT'S USE CAN LEAD TO IODINE DEFICIENCIES SUCH AS
HYPOTHYROIDISM. REAL SALT is a WONDERFUL SALT. IT CONTAINS OVER 80+ MINERALS, INCLUDING THE IODINE NECESSARY FOR THE BODY...You can purchase this online or in any health-food store (Azure Standard sells this as well)...It is a bit more costly than sea salt in the stores, but you don't need as much because of it's high mineral content....

Charcoal
Unfortunately, we live in a time where we have been trained to run to the Doctors for
every bump, scratch, scrape and bruise. In cases of emergencies, it may be necessary
at times to go to the hospital or seek out a physician, but not in all cases.
"The Lord has given some simple herbs of the field that at times are beneficial; and IF
EVERY FAMILY WERE EDUCATED IN HOW TO USE THESE HERBS IN CASE OF
SICKNESS, MUCH SUFFERING MIGHT BE PREVENTED, AND NO DOCTOR NEED
BE CALLED. These old- fashioned, simple herbs, used intelligently, would have
recovered many sick who have died under drug medication. {2SM 294.1}
Now I'm not referring to your situations that require immediate surgery in a life or death
situation.
"EVERY PERSON SHOULD HAVE A KNOWLEDGE OF NATURE'S REMEDIAL
AGENCIES AND HOW TO APPLY THEM. It is essential both to understand the
principles involved in the treatment of the sick and to have a practical training that will
enable one rightly to use this knowledge. {MH 127.2}
" IT IS NOT A DENIAL OF FAITH TO USE SUCH REMEDIES AS GOD HAS
PROVIDED TO ALLEVIATE PAIN AND TO AID NATURE IN HER WORK OF
RESTORATION...We should employ every facility for the restoration of health, taking
every advantage possible, working in harmony with natural laws...{MH 231.3}
"When the abuse of health is carried so far that sickness results, the sufferer can often
do for himself what no one else can do for him. The first thing to be done is to ascertain
the true character of the sickness and then go to work intelligently to remove the cause.
IF THE HARMONIOUS SYSTEM HAS BECOME UNBALANCED BY OVERWORK,
OVEREATING, OR OTHER IRREGULARITIES, DO NOT ENDEAVOR TO ADJUST
THE DIFFICULTIES BY ADDING A BURDEN OF POISONOUS MEDICINES."{MH
235.1}
Why not?
"BY THE USE OF POISONOUS DRUGS, MANY BRING UPON THEMSELVES
LIFELONG ILLNESS, and MANY LIVES ARE LOST THAT MIGHT BE SAVED BY THE
USE OF NATURAL METHODS OF HEALING."{MH 126.4}
"There are many ways of practicing the healing art; BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY
THAT HEAVEN APPROVES. GOD'S REMEDIES ARE THE SIMPLE AGENCIES OF
NATURE THAT WILL NOT TAX OR DEBILITATE THE SYSTEM THROUGH THEIR
POWERFUL PROPERTIES." (CD 301.2)
"...TEACH THE PEOPLE THAT RESTORATIVE POWER IS NOT IN DRUGS, BUT IN
NATURE.."(MH 127.1}
" PEOPLE NEED TO BE TAUGHT THAT DRUGS DO NOT CURE DISEASE...{MH
126.3}
(Jeremiah 46:11)"Go up into Gilead, and TAKE BALM, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt:
IN VAIN SHALT THOU USE MANY MEDICINES; FOR THOU SHALT NOT BE CURED.
(Jeremiah 30:13)"...thou hast no healing medicines."(Ezekiel 47:12) "...the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and THE LEAF thereof FOR MEDICINE."
Very Important: THE PEN OF INSPIRATION NEVER SUPPORTED THE USE OF
DRUG MEDICATION: "In regard to the book on Christian Temperance, that portion that
was expressed in reference to drug medication as though it was recommended by me is
not according to the light that I have been given to present to the people. I must, if I
made this statement, have done so in expressing the idea of working away from the use
of all drugs concocted at the apothecary(pharmacy). WE HAVE NO USE FOR THEM.
WE SHOULD NOT VINDICATE THE USE OF DRUG MEDICATION..."(20MR 36.2)
TODAY WE WILL BE DISCUSSING ACTIVATED CHARCOAL: (Dr. Christopher, who
was one of the most renowned Herbologists to live in the 20th century said if he had to
choose only 2 herbs of all the herbs, he would choose cayenne pepper and ACTIVATED
CHARCOAL(and this isn't even an herb)
What is Activated Charcoal and How does it work? (See the bottom page of this subject)
WHAT MEDICINAL PURPOSES IS ACTIVATED CHARCOAL USED FOR? (See 2
Selected Messages...USE OF REMEDIES pp. 286-291 and Sister White's Personal
Experiences Using Remedies pg. 292-303)
#1: Inflammation of the bowels and Bloody Dysentery:
A Rapid Recovery.--A brother was taken sick with inflammation of the bowels and
bloody dysentery. The man was not a careful health reformer, but indulged his appetite.
We were just preparing to leave Texas, where we had been laboring for several months,
and we had carriages prepared to take away this brother and his family, and several
others who were suffering from malarial fever. My husband and I thought we would
stand this expense rather than have the heads of several families die and leave their
wives and children unprovided for. {2SM 299.1}
Two or three were taken in a large spring wagon on spring mattresses. But this man
who was suffering from inflammation of the bowels, sent for me to come to him. My
husband and I decided that it would not do to move him. Fears were entertained that
mortification had set in. Then the thought came to me like a communication from the
Lord to take pulverized charcoal, put water upon it, and give this water to the sick man
to drink, putting bandages of the charcoal over the bowels and stomach. We were about
one mile from the city of Denison, but the sick man's son went to a blacksmith's shop,
secured the charcoal, and pulverized it, and then used it according to the directions
given. The result was that in half an hour there was a change for the better. We had to
go on our journey and leave the family behind, but what was our surprise the following
day to see their wagon overtake us. The sick man was lying in a bed in the wagon. The
blessing of God had worked with the simple means used.--Letter 182, 1899 {2SM
299.2}
#2: Eye Inflammation/Bruised Hands/Inflammation:
"One of the most beneficial remedies is pulverized charcoal, placed in a bag and used
in fomentations. THIS IS A MOST SUCCESSFUL REMEDY. If wet in smartweed boiled,
it is still better. I have ordered this in cases where the sick were suffering GREAT PAIN,
and when it has been confided to me by the physician that he thought it was the last
before the close of life. Then I suggested the charcoal, and the patient slept, the turning
point came, and recovery was the result. To students when injured with BRUISED HANDS AND SUFFERING WITH INFLAMMATION, I HAVE PRESCRIBED THE
SIMPLE REMEDY, WITH PERFECT SUCCESS. The poison of inflammation was
overcome, the pain removed, and healing went on rapidly. THE MOST SEVERE
INFLAMMATION OF THE EYES WILL BE RELIEVED BY A POULTICE OF
CHARCOAL, put in a bag, and dipped in hot or cold water, as will best suit the case.
This works like a charm. {2SM 294.2}
#3: Fever:
"On one occasion a physician came to me in great distress. He had been called to
attend A YOUNG WOMAN WHO WAS DANGEROUSLY ILL. SHE HAD CONTRACTED
FEVER while on the campground, and was taken to our school building near
Melbourne, Australia. But SHE BECAME SO MUCH WORSE THAT IT WAS FEARED
SHE COULD NOT LIVE. The physician, Dr. Merritt Kellogg, came to me and said,
"Sister White, have you any light for me on this case? If relief cannot be given our sister,
she can live but a few hours." I replied, "Send to a blacksmith's shop, and GET SOME
PULVERIZED CHARCOAL; MAKE A POULTICE OF IT, AND LAY IT OVER HER
STOMACH AND SIDES." The doctor hastened away to follow out my instructions. Soon
he returned, saying, "RELIEF CAME IN LESS THAN HALF AN HOUR AFTER THE
APPLICATION OF THE POULTICES. She is now having the first natural sleep she has
had for days." {2SM 295.2}
#4: Indigestion:
"TEACH NURSES AND PATIENTS the value of those health-restoring agencies that are
freely provided by God, and the usefulness of simple things that are easily obtained. I
will tell you a little about my experience with CHARCOAL AS A REMEDY. FOR SOME
FORMS OF INDIGESTION, it is more efficacious than drugs. A little olive oil into which
some of this powder has been stirred tends to cleanse and heal. I find it is excellent.
Pulverized charcoal from eucalyptus wood we have used freely in cases of
inflammation.... {2SM 298.4-5}
#5: Snake Bites/Poisonous Reptile Stings/Insect Bites:
"My mother had told me that snake bites and the sting of reptiles and poisonous insects
could OFTEN BE RENDERED HARMLESS BY THE USE OF CHARCOAL
POULTICES..."(2SM 295.3}
#6: Swelling and Pain on the Knee from a dangerous insect bite on an 18 month old:
"Charcoal and Flaxseed.--"..On Thursday Sister Sara McEnterfer [A TRAINED NURSE
OF EXPERIENCE] was called to see if she could do anything for Brother B's little son,
who is eighteen months old. For several days he has had a PAINFUL SWELLING ON
THE KNEE, SUPPOSED TO BE FROM THE BITE OF SOME POISONOUS INSECT.
PULVERIZED CHARCOAL, MIXED WITH FLAXSEED, WAS PLACED UPON THE
SWELLING, AND THIS POULTICE GAVE RELIEF AT ONCE. The child had screamed
with pain all night, but when this was applied, he slept. Today she has been to see the
little one twice. She opened the swelling in two places, and a large amount of
yellow matter and blood was discharged freely. The child was relieved of its great
suffering. We thank the Lord that we may become intelligent in using the simple things
within our reach to alleviate pain, and successfully remove its cause.--Manuscript 68,
1899 (General Manuscript). {2SM 299.3}There are many other uses. Some of these include PYORRHEA, GINGIVITIS,TUMORS, TO WHITEN TEETH, and many other uses...To learn more, go to CharcoalRemedies.com and/or read the book titled "Charcoal"

What is Activated Charcoal?
Answer: Activated charcoal is used in water filters, medicines that selectively remove
toxins, and chemical purification processes. Activated charcoal is carbon that has been
treated with oxygen. The treatment results in a highly porous charcoal. These tiny holes
give the charcoal a surface area of 300-2,000 m2/g, allowing liquids or gases to pass
through the charcoal and interact with the exposed carbon. The carbon adsorbs a wide
range of impurities and contaminants, including chlorine, odors, and pigments. Other
substances, like sodium, fluoride, and nitrates, are not as attracted to the carbon and
are not filtered out. Because adsorption works by chemically binding the impurities to
the carbon, the active sites in the charcoal eventually become filled. Activated charcoal
filters become less effective with use and have to be recharged or replaced.
Several factors influence the effectiveness of activated charcoal. The pore size and
distribution varies depending on the source of the carbon and the manufacturing
process. Large organic molecules are absorbed better than smaller ones. Adsorption
tends to increase as pH and temperature decrease. Contaminants are also removed
more effectively if they are in contact with the activated charcoal for a longer time, so
flow rate through the charcoal affects filtration.

EVERY FAMILY WERE EDUCATED IN HOW TO USE THESE HERBS IN CASE OF
SICKNESS, MUCH SUFFERING MIGHT BE PREVENTED, AND NO DOCTOR NEED
BE CALLED. These old- fashioned, simple herbs, used intelligently, would have
recovered many sick who have died under drug medication. {2SM 294.1}
Now I'm not referring to your situations that require immediate surgery in a life or death
situation.
"EVERY PERSON SHOULD HAVE A KNOWLEDGE OF NATURE'S REMEDIAL
AGENCIES AND HOW TO APPLY THEM. It is essential both to understand the
principles involved in the treatment of the sick and to have a practical training that will
enable one rightly to use this knowledge. {MH 127.2}
" IT IS NOT A DENIAL OF FAITH TO USE SUCH REMEDIES AS GOD HAS
PROVIDED TO ALLEVIATE PAIN AND TO AID NATURE IN HER WORK OF
RESTORATION...We should employ every facility for the restoration of health, taking
every advantage possible, working in harmony with natural laws...{MH 231.3}
"When the abuse of health is carried so far that sickness results, the sufferer can often
do for himself what no one else can do for him. The first thing to be done is to ascertain
the true character of the sickness and then go to work intelligently to remove the cause.
IF THE HARMONIOUS SYSTEM HAS BECOME UNBALANCED BY OVERWORK,
OVEREATING, OR OTHER IRREGULARITIES, DO NOT ENDEAVOR TO ADJUST
THE DIFFICULTIES BY ADDING A BURDEN OF POISONOUS MEDICINES."{MH
235.1}
Why not?
"BY THE USE OF POISONOUS DRUGS, MANY BRING UPON THEMSELVES
LIFELONG ILLNESS, and MANY LIVES ARE LOST THAT MIGHT BE SAVED BY THE
USE OF NATURAL METHODS OF HEALING."{MH 126.4}
"There are many ways of practicing the healing art; BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY
THAT HEAVEN APPROVES. GOD'S REMEDIES ARE THE SIMPLE AGENCIES OF
NATURE THAT WILL NOT TAX OR DEBILITATE THE SYSTEM THROUGH THEIR
POWERFUL PROPERTIES." (CD 301.2)
"...TEACH THE PEOPLE THAT RESTORATIVE POWER IS NOT IN DRUGS, BUT IN
NATURE.."(MH 127.1}
" PEOPLE NEED TO BE TAUGHT THAT DRUGS DO NOT CURE DISEASE...{MH
126.3}
(Jeremiah 46:11)"Go up into Gilead, and TAKE BALM, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt:
IN VAIN SHALT THOU USE MANY MEDICINES; FOR THOU SHALT NOT BE CURED.
(Jeremiah 30:13)"...thou hast no healing medicines."(Ezekiel 47:12) "...the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and THE LEAF thereof FOR MEDICINE."
Very Important: THE PEN OF INSPIRATION NEVER SUPPORTED THE USE OF
DRUG MEDICATION: "In regard to the book on Christian Temperance, that portion that
was expressed in reference to drug medication as though it was recommended by me is
not according to the light that I have been given to present to the people. I must, if I
made this statement, have done so in expressing the idea of working away from the use
of all drugs concocted at the apothecary(pharmacy). WE HAVE NO USE FOR THEM.
WE SHOULD NOT VINDICATE THE USE OF DRUG MEDICATION..."(20MR 36.2)
TODAY WE WILL BE DISCUSSING ACTIVATED CHARCOAL: (Dr. Christopher, who
was one of the most renowned Herbologists to live in the 20th century said if he had to
choose only 2 herbs of all the herbs, he would choose cayenne pepper and ACTIVATED
CHARCOAL(and this isn't even an herb)
What is Activated Charcoal and How does it work? (See the bottom page of this subject)
WHAT MEDICINAL PURPOSES IS ACTIVATED CHARCOAL USED FOR? (See 2
Selected Messages...USE OF REMEDIES pp. 286-291 and Sister White's Personal
Experiences Using Remedies pg. 292-303)
#1: Inflammation of the bowels and Bloody Dysentery:
A Rapid Recovery.--A brother was taken sick with inflammation of the bowels and
bloody dysentery. The man was not a careful health reformer, but indulged his appetite.
We were just preparing to leave Texas, where we had been laboring for several months,
and we had carriages prepared to take away this brother and his family, and several
others who were suffering from malarial fever. My husband and I thought we would
stand this expense rather than have the heads of several families die and leave their
wives and children unprovided for. {2SM 299.1}
Two or three were taken in a large spring wagon on spring mattresses. But this man
who was suffering from inflammation of the bowels, sent for me to come to him. My
husband and I decided that it would not do to move him. Fears were entertained that
mortification had set in. Then the thought came to me like a communication from the
Lord to take pulverized charcoal, put water upon it, and give this water to the sick man
to drink, putting bandages of the charcoal over the bowels and stomach. We were about
one mile from the city of Denison, but the sick man's son went to a blacksmith's shop,
secured the charcoal, and pulverized it, and then used it according to the directions
given. The result was that in half an hour there was a change for the better. We had to
go on our journey and leave the family behind, but what was our surprise the following
day to see their wagon overtake us. The sick man was lying in a bed in the wagon. The
blessing of God had worked with the simple means used.--Letter 182, 1899 {2SM
299.2}
#2: Eye Inflammation/Bruised Hands/Inflammation:
"One of the most beneficial remedies is pulverized charcoal, placed in a bag and used
in fomentations. THIS IS A MOST SUCCESSFUL REMEDY. If wet in smartweed boiled,
it is still better. I have ordered this in cases where the sick were suffering GREAT PAIN,
and when it has been confided to me by the physician that he thought it was the last
before the close of life. Then I suggested the charcoal, and the patient slept, the turning
point came, and recovery was the result. To students when injured with BRUISED HANDS AND SUFFERING WITH INFLAMMATION, I HAVE PRESCRIBED THE
SIMPLE REMEDY, WITH PERFECT SUCCESS. The poison of inflammation was
overcome, the pain removed, and healing went on rapidly. THE MOST SEVERE
INFLAMMATION OF THE EYES WILL BE RELIEVED BY A POULTICE OF
CHARCOAL, put in a bag, and dipped in hot or cold water, as will best suit the case.
This works like a charm. {2SM 294.2}
#3: Fever:
"On one occasion a physician came to me in great distress. He had been called to
attend A YOUNG WOMAN WHO WAS DANGEROUSLY ILL. SHE HAD CONTRACTED
FEVER while on the campground, and was taken to our school building near
Melbourne, Australia. But SHE BECAME SO MUCH WORSE THAT IT WAS FEARED
SHE COULD NOT LIVE. The physician, Dr. Merritt Kellogg, came to me and said,
"Sister White, have you any light for me on this case? If relief cannot be given our sister,
she can live but a few hours." I replied, "Send to a blacksmith's shop, and GET SOME
PULVERIZED CHARCOAL; MAKE A POULTICE OF IT, AND LAY IT OVER HER
STOMACH AND SIDES." The doctor hastened away to follow out my instructions. Soon
he returned, saying, "RELIEF CAME IN LESS THAN HALF AN HOUR AFTER THE
APPLICATION OF THE POULTICES. She is now having the first natural sleep she has
had for days." {2SM 295.2}
#4: Indigestion:
"TEACH NURSES AND PATIENTS the value of those health-restoring agencies that are
freely provided by God, and the usefulness of simple things that are easily obtained. I
will tell you a little about my experience with CHARCOAL AS A REMEDY. FOR SOME
FORMS OF INDIGESTION, it is more efficacious than drugs. A little olive oil into which
some of this powder has been stirred tends to cleanse and heal. I find it is excellent.
Pulverized charcoal from eucalyptus wood we have used freely in cases of
inflammation.... {2SM 298.4-5}
#5: Snake Bites/Poisonous Reptile Stings/Insect Bites:
"My mother had told me that snake bites and the sting of reptiles and poisonous insects
could OFTEN BE RENDERED HARMLESS BY THE USE OF CHARCOAL
POULTICES..."(2SM 295.3}
#6: Swelling and Pain on the Knee from a dangerous insect bite on an 18 month old:
"Charcoal and Flaxseed.--"..On Thursday Sister Sara McEnterfer [A TRAINED NURSE
OF EXPERIENCE] was called to see if she could do anything for Brother B's little son,
who is eighteen months old. For several days he has had a PAINFUL SWELLING ON
THE KNEE, SUPPOSED TO BE FROM THE BITE OF SOME POISONOUS INSECT.
PULVERIZED CHARCOAL, MIXED WITH FLAXSEED, WAS PLACED UPON THE
SWELLING, AND THIS POULTICE GAVE RELIEF AT ONCE. The child had screamed
with pain all night, but when this was applied, he slept. Today she has been to see the
little one twice. She opened the swelling in two places, and a large amount of
yellow matter and blood was discharged freely. The child was relieved of its great
suffering. We thank the Lord that we may become intelligent in using the simple things
within our reach to alleviate pain, and successfully remove its cause.--Manuscript 68,
1899 (General Manuscript). {2SM 299.3}There are many other uses. Some of these include PYORRHEA, GINGIVITIS,TUMORS, TO WHITEN TEETH, and many other uses...To learn more, go to CharcoalRemedies.com and/or read the book titled "Charcoal"

What is Activated Charcoal?
Answer: Activated charcoal is used in water filters, medicines that selectively remove
toxins, and chemical purification processes. Activated charcoal is carbon that has been
treated with oxygen. The treatment results in a highly porous charcoal. These tiny holes
give the charcoal a surface area of 300-2,000 m2/g, allowing liquids or gases to pass
through the charcoal and interact with the exposed carbon. The carbon adsorbs a wide
range of impurities and contaminants, including chlorine, odors, and pigments. Other
substances, like sodium, fluoride, and nitrates, are not as attracted to the carbon and
are not filtered out. Because adsorption works by chemically binding the impurities to
the carbon, the active sites in the charcoal eventually become filled. Activated charcoal
filters become less effective with use and have to be recharged or replaced.
Several factors influence the effectiveness of activated charcoal. The pore size and
distribution varies depending on the source of the carbon and the manufacturing
process. Large organic molecules are absorbed better than smaller ones. Adsorption
tends to increase as pH and temperature decrease. Contaminants are also removed
more effectively if they are in contact with the activated charcoal for a longer time, so
flow rate through the charcoal affects filtration.

The Use of Water/External Application
"Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, THE USE OF WATER, trust in
divine power--THESE ARE THE TRUE REMEDIES. EVERY PERSON SHOULD HAVE A
KNOWLEDGE OF NATURE'S REMEDIAL AGENCIES AND HOW TO APPLY THEM. IT IS ESSENTIAL BOTH TO UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLES INVOLVED IN THE TREATMENT OF THE SICK AND TO HAVE A PRACTICAL TRAINING THAT WILL ENABLE ONE RIGHTLY TO USE THIS KNOWLEDGE. {MH127.2}
"There are .. SIMPLE REMEDIES which will do much to restore healthful action to the body.
All these simple preparations the Lord expects us to use for ourselves...{2SM 297.8}
Today we will be discussing THE USE OF WATER: In health and in sickness, pure water is one of heaven's choicest blessings. ITS PROPER USE PROMOTES HEALTH. It is the beverage which God provided to quench the thirst of animals and man. DRUNK FREELY, it helps to supply the necessities of the system and assists nature to resist disease..."(MH 237.1)
"We answer our own prayers by using the remedies within our reach. WATER, WISELY
APPLIED, IS A MOST POWERFUL REMEDY. As it is used intelligently, favorable results are seen. God has given us intelligence, and He desires us to make the most of His health-giving blessings...WE ARE TO
USE EVERY BLESSING GOD HAS PLACED WITHIN OUR REACH FOR THE DELIVERANCE
OF THOSE IN DANGER. {2SM 346.3}
"The Lord has taught us that GREAT EFFICACY FOR HEALING LIES IN A PROPER USE OF
WATER." Manuscript 73, 1908. {2SM 288.1}
"Nature will want some assistance to bring things to their proper condition, which may be found
in the simplest remedies, especially in the use of nature's own furnished remedies,--pure air, and with a
precious knowledge of how to breathe; PURE WATER, WITH A KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO
APPLY IT." {TSDF 85.4}
" WATER CAN BE USED IN MANY WAYS TO RELIEVE SUFFERING." {2SM 297.3}
SOME WAYS TO RELIEVE SUFFERING ARE:
#1: (Elimination of Impurities) "A COLD OR COOL BATH is an excellent tonic. WARM BATHS open the pores and thus aid in the elimination of impurities."{MH 237.1}
#2: (Soother of the Nerves) "Both WARM AND NEUTRAL BATHS SOOTHE THE NERVES
AND EQUALIZE THE CIRCULATION."{MH 237.1}
#3: (Equalizes the Circulation) "WARM AND NEUTRAL BATHS.. EQUALIZE THE
CIRCULATION."{MH 237.1}
#4: (Regulating the Circulation of the Blood) "THE EXTERNAL APPLICATION OF WATER
IS ONE OF THE EASIEST AND MOST SATISFACTORY WAYS OF REGULATING THE
CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD..."{MH 237.1}
#5: (Helps with Congestion) "When the head is CONGESTED, if the feet and limbs are put in a
bath with a little mustard, RELIEF WILL BE OBTAINED."(2SM 297)
#6: (Helps with Pain) "There are many ways in which water can be applied to relieve PAIN and
check disease..."{Letter 35 1890/MH 237.2}
"He suffered severe PAIN in his right side, and could not lie upon it for a moment. THIS PAIN
WE SUBDUED WITH COLD WATER COMPRESSES, VARYING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE
WATER ACCORDING TO THE DEGREE OF THE FEVER. We were very careful to keep his
hands and feet warm. {2SM 304.2}
#7: (Help with Fevers) "But many have never experienced the beneficial effects of water, and are
afraid to use one of Heaven's greatest blessings. Water has been refused persons suffering with
BURNING FEVERS, through fear that it would injure them. IF, IN THEIR FEVERED STATE,
WATER HAD BEEN GIVEN THEM TO DRINK FREELY, AND APPLICATIONS HAD ALSO BEEN MADE EXTERNALLY, LONG DAYS AND NIGHTS OF SUFFERING WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED, AND MANY PRECIOUS LIVES SPARED. But thousands have died with raging fevers consuming them,until the fuel which fed the fever was burnt up, the vitals consumed, and have died in the greatest agony, without being permitted to have water to allay their burning thirst. WATER, WHICH IS
ALLOWED A SENSELESS BUILDING TO PUT OUT THE RAGING ELEMENTS, IS NOT ALLOWED HUMAN BEINGS TO PUT OUT THE FIRE WHICH IS CONSUMING THE VITALS. {2SM 453.1}
"FEVER CASES have been lost, when, had the physicians left off entirely their drug treatment,
HAD THEY PUT THEIR WITS TO WORK AND WISELY AND PERSISTENTLY USED THE
LORD'SOWN REMEDIES, plenty of air AND WATER, THE PATIENTS WOULD HAVE
RECOVERED..."{MM 228.1}
#8: (Helps with Pneumonia) " In the winter of 1864, my Willie was suddenly and violently
brought down with LUNG FEVER. We had just buried our oldest son with this disease, and were very
anxious in regard to Willie, FEARING THAT HE TOO MIGHT DIE. WE DECIDED THAT WE
WOULD NOT SEND FOR A PHYSICIAN, but DO THE BEST WE COULD WITH HIM OURSELVES BY THE USE OF WATER, AND ENTREAT THE LORD IN BEHALF OF THE CHILD."{2SM 304.1}
The next day Willie was very sick. He was wandering. He did not seem to see or hear me when I
spoke to him. His heart had no regular beat, but was in a constant agitated flutter. We continued
to look to God in his behalf, and TO USE WATER FREELY UPON HIS HEAD, AND A
COMPRESS CONSTANTLY UPON HIS LUNGS to, AND SOON HE SEEMED AS RATIONAL AS EVER.."{2SM 304.2} Spiritual Gifts, vol. 4 (first section), pp. 151-153 (1864).
"WATER TREATMENTS ARE NOT APPRECIATED AS THEY SHOULD BE, and to apply
them skillfully requires work that many are unwilling to perform...ALL SHOULD BECOME
INTELLIGENT IN ITS USE IN SIMPLE TREATMENTS. Mothers, especially, should know how to care for their families in both health and sickness. {MH 237.2}.." {MH 237.2}
"WATER, WISELY APPLIED, IS A MOST POWERFUL REMEDY. AS IT IS USED

SUPPLEMENTATION: IS IT NECESSARY?
By Christine Guardo
" IT IS ESSENTIAL TO UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLES INVOLVED IN THE
TREATMENT OF THE SICK... {MH 127.2}
SOME VERY IMPORTANT POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND ARE:
#1: "Men may get up scheme after scheme, and the enemy will seek to seduce souls from the
truth,
but ALL WHO BELIEVE THAT THE LORD HAS SPOKEN THROUGH SISTER WHITE,
AND HAS GIVEN HER A MESSAGE, WILL BE SAFE FROM THE MANY DELSUSIONS THAT WILL COME IN THESE LAST DAYS...--Letter 50, 1906. {3SM 83.5}
#2: "THE WORLD SHOULD BE NO CRITERION FOR US..."{4T 35.3}
#3: "Seventh-day Adventists are handling momentous truths... ON THE SUBJECT OF
TEMPERANCE, WE SHOULD BE IN ADVANCE OF ALL OTHER PEOPLE... {9T 158.1}
#4: "YOU CANNOT TEACH HEALTH REFORM UNLESS YOU PRESENT THE MOST
INEXPENSIVE METHOD OF LIVING. The enemy must have no advantage in any line...--MS.
105,1898. {MM 266.3}
#5: "NATURE'S PROCESS OF HEALING IS UPBUILDING AND GRADUAL..."{MH 127.3}
Note: There is no need for us to go to the World to get our information regarding Health. God
has provided it all to us through the Scriptures and SOP (Spirit of Prophesy) If the POOR PEOPLE
cannot afford it, it Is not God's true Health Message. Many will come to you with all these quick
fix drinks and elixirs that cost quite a bit of money..those who can't afford it are led to feel there is
no hope for them. But God has designed a better way, and this way has been presented ONLY TO
HIS LAST DAY CHURCH ON EARTH (SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS).
(There are many health gurus in the world who have some good information about health, just
like there are many churches that have some truth; But it is God's church that has been given the last
message to go to the World. And it is God's last day church that has all the information needed
regarding health).
The main PRINCIPLE being addressed today is the topic of SUPPLEMENTATION (taking
vitamins and minerals). Is it necessary? If so, when and how?
One of the many delusions being taught today is the argument that supplementation MUST be
given because there aren't enough minerals in the soil. It is true that there are circumstances whereSUPPLEMENTATION may be necessary. However, A LACK OF SOIL IS NOT ONE OF THE REASONS. If there's not enough nutrients in the soil, then nothing would grow and you and I
would cease to exist...Remember that Adam & Eve were approx 18 and 16/15 feet tall..At that height, their bodies required a certain amount of nutrients that a six foot or five foot person today cannot
handle...MAN HAS DECLINED IN STATURE SINCE THE CREATION OF TIME, and God
cursed the earth for man's sake(Genesis 3:17), therefore the nutrients in the earth have declined in direct proportion with the degradation of mankind.
"HIS WORD CONTROLS THE ELEMENTS." {PP 115.1}
2"IN GRAINS, FRUITS, VEGETABLES, AND (NUTS) ARE TO BE FOUND ALL THE FOOD
ELEMENTS THAT WE NEED..."{CD 92.2}
"THE GRAINS WITH FRUITS, (NUTS) AND VEGETABLES, CONTAIN ALL THE
NUTRITIVE PROPERTIES NECESSARY TO MAKE GOOD BLOOD." {MH 316.2}
(This would include vitamin B-12...Another delusion being taught is that the diet of a strict
vegetarian does not provide B-12).
"GRAINS, FRUITS, (NUTS), AND VEGETABLES, IN PROPER COMBINATION, CONTAIN
ALL THE ELEMENTS OF NUTRITION...THEY CONSTITUTE THE DIET THAT BEST PROMOTES BOTH PHSYICAL AND MENTAL STRENGTH." {Ed 204.3}
(If one is weak, fatigued or sore, chances are their not eating enough nuts, and/or getting food
from all 4 food groups, meaning FRUITS, VEGETABLES, NUTS, AND GRAINS.)
"GRAINS, FRUITS, (NUTS), AND VEGETABLES CONSTITUTE THE DIET CHOSEN FOR
US BY OUR CREATOR. THESE FOODS, prepared in as simple and natural a manner as possible, ARE THE MOST HEALTHFUL AND NOURISHING. THEY IMPART A STRENGTH, A POWER OF ENDURANCE, AND A VIGOR OF INTELLECT..."{MH 296.1}
*Note...Nuts have very high levels of Magnesium and Phosphorus. They are also very rich in
zinc, manganese, copper, and selenium. Science is realizing that magnesium is actually more essential in the body than calcium. You can obtain all the calcium you need, but if you don't have the proper levels of magnesium, the calcium will not be able to do the functions it is responsible for.
Magnesium is necessary for the formation of bones and teeth and is involved in muscle relaxation.(Foods and Their Healing Power, Volume 1, pg. 56)
"A DIET LACKING IN THE PROPER ELEMENTS OF NUTRITION BRINGS REPROACH
UPON THECAUSE OF HEALTH REFORM. We are mortal and must supply ourselves with food that will give proper nourishment to the body." {9T 161.3}
"Those foods should be chosen that best SUPPLY THE ELEMENTS NEEDED FOR
BUILDING UP THE BODY. IN THIS CHOICE, APPETITE IS NOT A SAFEGUARD..."(MH 295.2)
"OUR BODIES ARE BUILT UP FROM THE FOOD WE EAT..."{MH 295.1}
"THE IDEA SHOULD NEVER BE GIVEN THAT IT IS OF BUT LITTLE CONSEQUENCE
WHAT WE EAT..."{CD 198.4}
*Our bodies need food that is going to encourage cellular growth and help rebuild the system.
*Note...For those who worry about eating NUTS because of their fat content, keep the following
in mind: the oil in nuts is composed of mono or polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are easily
metabolized and do not tend to be deposited in the body(Foods and Their Healing Power,
Volume 1, pg. 55). Also, read GENESIS 45:18... "...eat the FAT OF THE LAND."
(Nuts are to be eaten sparingly...A closed fist without the nuts seeping out the sides is enough to
supply the body with what it needs....A closed fist is equivalent to 1/4 cup...If we were to crack
the nuts ourselves, as God intended, chances are there wouldn't be the overeating of nuts as we see
today).
3 Some SOP Quotes regarding Nuts:
" Care should be taken not to use too large a proportion of nuts. Those who realize ill effects
from the use of nut foods may find the difficulty removed by attending to this precaution.{CD 363.5}
"I have been instructed that the nut foods are often used unwisely, that too large a proportion of
nuts is used, that some nuts are not as wholesome as others. Almonds are preferable to peanuts; but
peanuts, in limited quantities, may be used in connection with grains to make nourishing and
digestible food. {CD 364.4}
"Three years ago a letter came to me saying, "I cannot eat the nut foods; my stomach cannot take
care of them." Then there were several recipes presented before me; one was that there must be
other ingredients combined with the nuts, which would harmonize with them, and not use such a
large proportion of nuts. One-tenth to one-sixth part of nuts would be sufficient, varied according to
combinations. We tried this, and with success.{CD 364.5}
"Much time should be spent in learning how to prepare nut foods..." {CD 364.1}
"Study economy in everything, but do not withhold from the diet food which the system needs.
With regard to the nut foods, there are many who cannot eat them.{CD 352.2}
(Most do well eating nuts, but if there's that one who can't, use seeds instead like Flax, Sesame,
Pumpkin and Sunflower seeds. These have most of the same minerals that the Nuts have)

Vitamin D
PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS TRUTHS HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO GOD'S LAST
DAY CHURCH REGARDING HEALTH, AND WHEN ADHERED TO, IT TRULY
SAVES LIVES.
"Pure air, SUNLIGHT, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use
of water, trust in divine power--these are the true remedies. Every person
should have a knowledge of nature's remedial agencies AND HOW TO APPLY
THEM. It is essential both to understand the principles involved in the treatment of
the sick and to have a practical training that will enable one rightly to use this
knowledge.
{White, Ministry of Healing, p127.2}
Not only are we to know what the Remedies are for sickness and disease,
but we are to know how to properly apply each one...All it takes is for one
misapplication of any of these remedies and the whole body can suffer.
Also: One thing to keep in mind whenever teaching HEALTH REFORM is
IF THE POOR PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD THE REMEDY, IT'S NOT GOD'S
HEALTH PLAN/REFORM.
"..you cannot teach health reform unless you present the most inexpensive
methods of living...” {White, Medical Ministry, p266.3}
Today we will be touching on the subject of SUNSHINE/VITAMIN D and
how to properly apply it...
"..Ecclesiastes 7:11 "...there is profit to them that see the sun."
Ecclesiastes 11:7 "Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the
eyes to behold the sun."
There are benefits in seeing the sun (The rays of the sunshine penetrating
the eye) Medical Science has proven that those who wear sunglasses do not get the
proper levels of Vitamin D because the rays of the sun are not penetrating
the eye...What happens is the rays of the Sunshine enter the eye, which then
goes to the Retina of the eye which then triggers the Pineal gland (located in the
brain) to release hormones in the body. These functions will not take place unless
the sunshine enters the eye.
Matthew 6:22 "The light of the body is the eye..."
Also: Wearing face make-up as well as sun-screen can also be a
contributor of preventing one from getting proper levels through the skin.
Vitamin D was discovered back in 1930's and was improperly named. It's
not a Vitamin at all.. It's actually a hormonal system...
IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROX 2000+ FUNCTIONS IN THE BODY...
In just about every disease known to man, lab tests show a marked
deficiency in Vitamin D levels...
Proper levels should be 50 and above...In Autistic Children, research/
studies found that those with levels at 80 and above showed a 180 degree
turnabout in many patients ...
The correct test to check for Vitamin D levels is called 25 Hydroxy...30% of
Doctors have the wrong levels (125 Hydroxy) checked...
During Winter months, especially in states where there is a lack of
sunshine,Supplementation may be necessary...95% of the world's population do well
with 5,000 IU's a day for just a couple of months...the other 5% do better with
10,000 IU's....D2 is known to be the most common form and is plant based...Word
of mouth has it that there is now a plant based D3... SOMETHING TO REMEMBER. For everything God has, satan has a counterfeit.
The very hours we have been told to avoid are the very hours most
beneficial to our health. Improper times can have an effect on the units of Vitamin D our
bodies can make. The earlier hours of the sunshine are found to be more beneficial than the
laterhours...If your shadow is shorter than you are, you're getting the
wonderful levels needed...If your shadow is taller, you are going to get a great tan, but
not the best levels..
When your shadow is shorter than you are(this usually takes place when
the sun is mid high in the sky), for every one minute in the sun, you get 1000 IUs of
this vitamin. GET ALL THE SUNSHINE YOU CAN...IT'S A FALLACY THAT WE
SHOULD AVOID IT...
" I must become acquainted with myself, I must be a learner always as to
how to take care of this building, the body God has given me, that I may preserve
it in the very best condition of health... I MUST GET ALL THE SUNLIGHT THAT IT
IS POSSIBLE FOR ME TO OBTAIN. I must have wisdom to be a faithful
guardian of my body. {White, Counsels on Diet and Foods, p302.3}
Medical Science is proving that Sunshine actually helps get rid of cancer
instead of causing cancer. If one is eating a plant based diet and following the laws
of health, they need not worry about getting cancer from the sun.
ONE MORE THING: Sitting indoors in front of a window is not going to give
you the proper levels of Vitamin D needed to maintain good health.
