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.
