Six Ways Food Can Keep You Spiritually Unprepared

 

“Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” Genesis 3:1 “Through temptations addressed to the appetite he has, to a large extent, led men into sin from the time when he induced Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit. It was by this same means that he led Israel to murmur against God. INTEMPERANCE IN EATING AND DRINKING, leading as it does to the indulgence of the lower passions, PREPARES THE WAY FOR MEN TO DISREGARD ALL MORAL OBLIGATIONS. When assailed by temptation, they have little power of resistance.” Conflict and Courage, 103

“The controlling power of appetite will prove the ruin of thousands, WHEN, IF THEY HAD CONQUERED ON THIS POINT, they would have had moral power to gain the victory over every other temptation of Satan. But those who are slaves to appetite will fail in perfecting Christian character.” Testimonies for the Church, vol. 3, 491-492 

Six Ways Food Can Keep You Spiritually Unprepared For What Is Coming:

1. EATING TOO FREQUENTLY:
“There should be no eating between meals, and at least five hours should be allowed to elapse between the meals. The dullness from which people suffer is often caused by overeating, and by eating at irregular periods. Dyspepsia brings despondency, and one suffering from this disease, though he may profess to be a Christian, acts in an un-Christ like manner.”  (This Day With God, 210)

2. EATING TOO MUCH:
“Oh, how many are low in the scale of spirituality, because they will not deny their appetite! The brain nerve energy is benumbed and almost paralyzed by overeating.” Counsels on Diet and Foods, 63

“We should not provide for the Sabbath a more liberal supply or a greater variety of food than for other days. Instead of this the food should be more simple, and less should be eaten, in order that the mind may be clear and vigorous to comprehend spiritual things. Overeating befogs the brain. The most precious words may be heard and not appreciated, because the mind is confused by an improper diet. By overeating on the Sabbath, many have done more than they think to dishonor God.” Child Guidance, 532
 
3. EATING RICH UNWHOLESOME FOOD:
“Especially at parties of pleasure is the appetite indulged with but little restraint. Rich dinners and late suppers are served, consisting of highly seasoned meats, with rich sauces, cakes, pies, ices, tea, coffee, etc. No wonder that with such a diet people have sallow complexions and suffer untold agonies from dyspepsia.” Counsels on Health, 111-112
 
“Intemperance in eating and drinking, and the indulgence of the baser passions, have benumbed the nobler faculties of man.” Ibid, 111.

4. EATING MEAT
Some quickly point out that the Bible permits meat as a part of our diet. However, that is only partly true. The Bible gives strict rules to determine whether or not meat is safe to eat. Those rules are found in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. In these chapters the Bible makes a distinction between clean and unclean animals. The unclean are never to be eaten. But what many people do not know, is that these same chapters of the Bible teach us that even of the clean animals, meat is only to be eaten if it fits these criteria:
 
A. No blood
B. No fat
C. Not from weak or diseased animals
 
For more information on showing the reasons for a vegan vegetarian diet from the Bible, check out our presentation on the subject entitled, “A Biblical Basis for Vegetarianism”, You can download a free copy of that presentation from the audio resources section of our website.
 
“…The use of the flesh of animals tends to cause a grossness of body and to benumb the finer sensibilities of the mind.” Counsels on Health, 115.
 
“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.” Counsel on Diet and Foods, 380-381.
 
There are two interesting Old Testament stories that serve as a parallel to God’s people in the last days. The first is about Israel, who before entering the Promised Land experienced a change in their diet to manna – clearly a vegan vegetarian menu. The second is Daniel, who survived the fall of Babylon (notice the parallel to God’s people at the end) and once again we see a vegan vegetarian diet –“pulse and water”.
 
5. DRINKING CAFFEINATED BEVERAGES:
In 1 Corinthians 10:31 Paul wrote, “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”
 
“Tea has an influence to excite the nerves, and coffee benumbs the brain; both are highly injurious.” Counsels on Diet and Foods, 423.
 
“The mind becomes enervated, and unless through determined effort the habit is overcome, the activity of the brain is permanently lessened.”  Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, 34.
 
“Those who use tea, coffee, opium, and alcohol, may sometimes live to an old age, but this fact is no argument in favor of the use of these stimulants. What these persons might have accomplished, but failed to do because of their intemperate habits, the great day of God alone will reveal.” Counsels on Diet and Foods, 421. 
 
Note: Regarding the Bible’s teaching against the use of alcohol, see Proverbs 20:1, 23:31-35; Isaiah 65:8; 1 Corinthians 6:10
 
6. USING TOO MUCH SUGAR:
“From the light given me, sugar, when largely used, is more injurious than meat.” Counsels on Diet and Foods, 328
 
If you find it a challenge dealing with some of these food issues, then you’ll want to make sure you get a copy of our next lesson entitled, Flipping the Power Switch.  In that lesson, we’ll look more closely at the keys to connecting with God’s power to overcome.

Scientist Explains How Cow’s Milk Leeches Calcium From Your Bones & Makes Them Weaker

“…The time will soon come when there will be no safety in using eggs, MILK, cream, or butter, because disease in animals is increasing in proportion to the increase of wickedness among men…” (CD 460.4) (1902)   

***Notice she says SOON COME, and it has!

“…As disease in animals increases, the use of MILK and eggs will become more and more unsafe. An effort should be made to supply their place with other things that are healthful and inexpensive. The people everywhere should be taught how to cook WITHOUT MILK and eggs, so far as possible, and yet have their food wholesome and palatable.” {CD 365.2}

IN BRIEF

• The Facts:

Milk from cows has been touted as making our bones stronger, and preventing conditions like osteoporosis. It turns out that it's the complete opposite, that milk causes bone degeneration by leeching calcium from the bone.

• Reflect On:

How can the food industry put out information and 'science' that counters independent research and science that's not sponsored by the actual food companies? Why do we believe what we believe? Is this a result of mass marketing?

It’s remarkable to analyze why many of us believe that milk, which is designed to help calves develop, is also suitable for human beings. We are the only species on the planet that consumes the milk of another animal. Furthermore, we are the only species on the planet who continues to drink milk after weaning. Even for cows, this would be a no-no. There are multiple studies showing that drinking milk for a cow leads to an increased mortality rate and actually makes bones more prone to fracturing, not less. One example would be this giant study from researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden.

But not only are we starting to become aware that our milk-drinking habit is one of the main sources of multiple health ailments and chronic disease; let’s not forget about the fact that 80 percent of Amazon rainforest destruction is the result of grazing animals for meat and dairy. It’s one of the main sources of environmental degradation and pollution.

And when we support the dairy industry we also support animal torture, suffering and heartache. Cows are forcefully impregnated so they can lactate, and when their babies are born they are ripped from their mothers and head straight for the slaughter house. Animal agriculture represents one of the biggest genocides on the planet today, and it shows how much we’ve lost our connection to all that is.

Lactose Intolerance

But back to consumer health concerns. If we look at all other animals who don’t consume the milk of another animal or after weaning, it is because they do not have the enzymes to break down the sugar found in milk. We are no different, and this explains why in some ethnic populations around the world, lactose intolerance is present in 90 percent of the population. A staggering 70 percent of the world’s population has some degree of lactose intolerance.

That being said, some people might have evolved and developed a cow’s milk just fine, which is why this information may not apply to everybody but overall, it definitely appears we are doing something unnatural.

This is explainable by science. Humans actually never had this enzyme, and to digest the sugar in milk, a cow’s milk at that, we had to develop the LTC gene, which was acquired by mutation. This is the lactase gene, which allows us to process lactose as adults. Clearly, we are not doing what is natural and in accordance with our bodies. I first came across this information from Katherine S. Pollard, a PhD at the University of California, San Francisco, in this lecture.

Metabolic Acidosis

One of the most important points people are becoming aware of is the fact that animal protein may in fact be harmful for human consumption, and that plant protein is a much better option. I go more in-depth on this in my article Plant-Based Protein VS. Protein From Meat: Which One Is Better For Your Body?

One thing animal protein does is trigger metabolic acidosis. This happens when the body produces too much acid and becomes very acidic, which can be caused by multiple things, including the absorption of casein found in animal protein. Casein makes up almost 90 percent of the protein in a cow’s milk. When the body experiences this type of acidosis, it actually forces the body to compensate by leaching calcium from the bones to help neutralize the increased acidity. Over time, all of this can have severe and detrimental effects on bone health, and studies have shown this.

We Have Been Misled

Science tells us that nations with high instances of hip fracture and osteoporosis also have a very high calcium intake. Given this correlation, and the fact that animal protein causes metabolic acidosis, sucking the calcium out of the bones — in direct contrast to what the dairy industry would have us believe — it’s easy to see that we have been misled.

Studies have also shown that animal protein can “turn on cancer.” This mainly comes from the work of Dr. Colin Campbell, an American biochemist who specializes in the effect of nutrition on long term health. He is the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University. Scholars like Campbell are vital to the world, because they are among the few who actually examine and study nutrition and health, something that our modern-day medical industry completely ignores. How ironic is it that medical doctors don’t learn anything about nutrition? How does that make any sense? It’s because modern day medicine puts profits before health. The China Study has become known as one of the most comprehensive studies of nutrition ever conducted. It has huge implications for diet, weight loss and longer-term health. It implicates animal protein in various ways that most people aren’t ready to accept. Below is a clip from the Forks Over Knives documentary.

The Takeaway

The big takeaway here is to realize that we have been misled by the food industry in various realms. Products that have been pushed as healthy, like MILK for example, are clearly not healthy and responsible for multiple diseases. Mass marketing and food propaganda, together with the pharmaceutical industry, completely control what we believe to be real when it comes to our health. They even falsify science, to counter claims by actual impartial science which strongly opposes what is put out by these industries. It’s not easy to let go of what we’ve been programmed to believe for so long, but the bottom line is when it comes to food and nutrition, critical thinking and independent research is far more valuable than relying on our medical associations and textbooks for information. Don’t be afraid to think for yourself, do your own research and listen to your body through experience.

Salt, Spices, and Condiments

The Ministry of Healing, 325

Under the head of stimulants and narcotics is classed a great variety of articles that, altogether used as food or drink, irritate the stomach, poison the blood, and excite the nerves. Their use is a positive evil. Men seek the excitement of stimulants, because, for the time, the results are agreeable. But there is always a reaction. The use of unnatural stimulants always tends to excess, and it is an active agent in promoting physical degeneration and decay.

 

In this fast age, the less exciting the food, the better. Condiments are injurious in their nature. Mustard, pepper, spices, pickles, and other things of a like character, irritate the stomach and make the blood feverish and impure. The inflamed condition of the drunkard’s stomach is often pictured as illustrating the effect of alcoholic liquors. A similarly inflamed condition is produced by the use of irritating condiments. Soon ordinary food does not satisfy the appetite. The system feels a want, a craving, for something more stimulating.

Tract Regarding the Use of Flesh Foods (Eight page tract)

Condiments and spices used in the preparation of food for the table aid in digestion in the same way that tea, coffee, and liquor are supposed to help the laboring man perform his tasks. After the immediate effects are gone, they drop as correspondingly below par as they were elevated above par by these stimulating substances. The system is weakened. The blood is contaminated, and inflammation is the sure result.

Letter K 37, 1901

At one time Dr.-----tried to teach our family to cook according to health reform, as he viewed it, without salt or anything else to season the food. Well, I determined to try it, but I became so reduced in strength that I had to make a change; and a different policy was entered upon with great success. I tell you this because I know that you are in positive danger. Food should be prepared in such a way that it will be nourishing. It should not be robbed of that which the system needs...

I use some salt, and always have, because from the light given me by God, this article, in the place of being deleterious, is actually essential for the blood. The why’s and wherefore’s of this I know not, but I give you the instruction as it is given me.

Testimonies for the Church 2:367

It is important that the food should be prepared with care, that the appetite, when not perverted, can relish it. Because we from principle discard the use of meat, butter, mince pies, spices, lard, and that which irritates the stomach and destroys health, the idea should never be given that it is of but little consequence what we eat.

The Facts of Faith 2:129

There is a class who profess to believe the truth, who do not use tobacco, snuff, tea, or coffee, yet they are guilty of gratifying the appetite in a different manner. They crave highly-seasoned meats, with rich gravies, and their appetite has become so perverted that they can not be satisfied with even meat, unless prepared in a manner most injurious. The stomach is fevered, the digestive organs are taxed, and yet the stomach labors hard to dispose of the load forced upon it. After the stomach has performed its task it becomes exhausted, which causes faintness. Here many are deceived, and think that it is the want of food which produces such feelings, and without giving the stomach time to rest, they take more food, which for the time removes the faintness. And the more the appetite is indulged, the more will be its clamors for gratification.

The Facts of Faith 2:131-132

The first great evil was intemperance in eating and drinking. Men and women have made themselves slaves to appetite. They are intemperate in labor. A great amount of hard labor is preformed to obtain food for their tables which greatly injure the already overtaxed system. Women spend a great share of their time over a heated cook-stove, preparing food, highly seasoned with spices to gratify the taste. As a consequence, the children are neglected, and do not receive moral and religious instruction. The overworked mother neglects to cultivate a sweetness of temper, which is the sunshine of the dwelling. Eternal considerations become secondary. All the time has to be employed in preparing these things for the appetite which ruin health, sour the temper, and becloud the reasoning faculties.

The Review and Herald, November 6, 1883 - No. 44 (Healthful Living, 92)

Our tables should bear only the most wholesome food, free from every irritating substance. The appetite for liquor is encouraged by the preparation of food with condiments and spices. These cause a feverish state of the system, and drink is demanded to allay the irritation. On my frequent journeys across the continent, I do not patronize restaurants, dining-cars, or hotels, for the simple reason that I can not eat the food there provided. The dishes are highly seasoned with salt and pepper, creating an almost intolerable thirst.... They irritate and inflame the delicate coating of the stomach.... Such is the food that is commonly served upon fashionable tables, and given to the children. Its effect is to cause nervousness, and to create thirst which water does not quench.... Food should be prepared in as simple a manner as possible, free from condiments and spices, and even from an undue amount of salt.

Testimonies for the Church 3:136

Children are allowed to eat flesh-meats, spices, butter, cheese, pork, rich pastry, and condiments generally. They are also allowed to eat irregularly and between meals of unhealthful food. These things do their work of deranging the stomach, exciting the nerves to unnatural action, and enfeebling the intellect. Parents do not realize that they are sowing the seed which will bring forth disease and death.

Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, 17

Luxurious dishes are placed before the children,—spiced foods, rich gravies, cakes and pastries. This highly seasoned food irritates the stomach, and causes a craving for still stronger stimulants. Not only is the appetite tempted with unsuitable food, of which the children are allowed to eat freely at their meals, but they are permitted to eat between meals, and by the time they are twelve or fourteen years of age they are often confirmed dyspeptics.

You have perhaps seen a picture of the stomach of one who is addicted to strong drink. A similar condition is produced under the irritating influence of fiery spices. With the stomach in such a state, there is a craving for something more to meet the demands of the appetite, something stronger, and still stronger.

Testimonies for the Church 3:563

Many mothers who deplore the intemperance which exists everywhere, do not look deep enough to see the cause. They are daily preparing a variety of dishes and highly-seasoned food, which tempt the appetite and encourage overeating. The tables of our American people are generally prepared in a manner to make drunkards. Appetite is the ruling principle with a large class. Whoever will indulge appetite in eating too often, and food not of a healthful quality, is weakening his power to resist the clamors of appetite and passion in other respects in proportion as he has strengthened the propensity of incorrect habits of eating. Mothers need to be impressed with their obligation to God and to the world to furnish society with children having well-developed characters. Men and women who come upon the stage of action with firm principles will be fitted to stand unsullied amid the moral pollutions of this corrupt age.... The tables of many professed Christian women are daily set with a variety of dishes which irritate the stomach and produce a feverish condition of the system. Flesh-meats constitute the principle article of food upon the tables of some families, until their blood is filled with cancerous and scrofulous humors. Their bodies are composed of what they eat. But when suffering and disease come upon them, it is considered an affliction of Providence.

We Repeat: Intemperance commences at our tables. The appetite is indulged until its indulgence becomes second nature. By the use of tea and coffee an appetite is formed for tobacco, and this encourages the appetite for liquors.

The Ministry of Healing, 335

Great efforts are made to put down intemperance; but there is much effort that is not directed to the right point. The advocates of temperance reform should be awake to the evils resulting from the use of unwholesome food, condiments, tea, and coffee. We bid all temperance workers Godspeed; but we invite them to look more deeply into the cause of the evil they war against, and to be sure that they are consistent in reform. It must be kept before the people that the right balance of the mental and moral powers depends in a great degree on the right condition of the physical system. All narcotics and unnatural stimulants that enfeeble and degrade the physical nature tend to lower the tone of the intellect and morals. Intemperance lies at the foundation of the moral depravity of the world. By the indulgence of perverted appetite, man loses his power to resist temptation.

Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, 46-47

Many a mother sets a table that is a snare to her family. Flesh-meats, butter, cheese, rich pastry, spiced foods, and condiments are freely partaken of by both old and young. These things do their work in deranging the stomach, exciting the nerves, and enfeebling the intellect. The blood-making organs can not convert such things into good blood. The grease cooked in the food renders it difficult of digestion. The effect of cheese is deleterious. Fine-flour bread does not impart to the system the nourishment that is to be found in unbolted wheat bread. Its common use will not keep the system in the best condition. Spices at first irritate the tender coating of the stomach, but finally destroy the natural sensitiveness of this delicate membrane. The blood becomes fevered, the animal propensities are aroused, while the moral and intellectual powers are weakened, and become servants to the baser passions. The mother should study to set a simple yet nutritious diet before her family.

The Facts of Faith 2:132

The lives of many children from five to ten and fifteen years of age seem marked with depravity. They possess knowledge of almost every vice. The parents are, in a great degree, at fault in this matter, and to them will be accredited the sins of their children which their improper course has indirectly led them to commit. They tempt their children to indulge their appetite by placing upon their tables flesh-meats and other food prepared with spices, which have a tendency to excite the animal passions.

Fundamentals of Christian Education, 150-151

I was seated once at the table with several children under twelve years of age. Meat was plentifully served, and then a delicate, nervous girl called for pickles. A bottle of chow-chow, fiery with mustard and pungent with spices, was handed her, from which she helped herself freely. The child was proverbial for her nervousness and irritability of temper, and these fiery condiments were well calculated to produce such a condition.

Testimonies for the Church 3:21

Above all things, we should not with our pens advocate positions that we do not put to a practical test in our own families, upon our own tables. This is dissimulation, a species of hypocrisy. In Michigan we can get along better without salt, sugar, and milk, than can many who are situated in the far West or in the far East, where there is a scarcity of fruit. But there are very few families in Battle Creek who do not use these articles upon their tables. We know that a free use of these things is positively injurious to health, and, in many cases, we think that if they were not used at all, a much better state of health would be enjoyed. But at present our burden is not upon these things.

The people are so far behind that we see it is all they can bear to have us draw the line upon their injurious indulgences and stimulating narcotics. We bear positive testimony against tobacco, spirituous liquors, snuff, tea, coffee, flesh-meats, butter, spices, rich cakes, mince pies, a large amount of salt, and all exciting substances used as articles of food.

Testimonies for the Church 2:485

One family in particular have needed all the benefits they could receive from the reform in diet; yet these very ones have been completely backslidden. Meat and butter have been used by them quite freely, and spices have not been entirely discarded. This family could have received great benefit from a nourishing, well-regulated diet.

Testimonies for the Church 2:383

The blood-making organs can not convert spices, mince pies, pickles, and diseased flesh-meats into good blood.

 

The Ministry of Healing, 305

Do not eat largely of salt, avoid the use of pickles and spiced foods, eat an abundance of fruit, and the irritation that calls for so much drink at meal time will largely disappear.

Testimonies for the Church 4:417

Our laborers could do more by their example to advance health reform than by preaching it. When elaborate preparations are made for them by well meaning friends, they are strongly tempted to disregard principle; but by refusing the dainty dishes, the rich condiments, the tea and coffee, they may prove themselves to be practical health reformers. Some are now suffering in consequence of transgressing the laws of life, thus causing a stigma to rest on the cause of health reform.

Testimonies for the Church 2:602

Nothing should be taken to camp-meeting except the most healthful articles, cooked in a simple manner, free from all spices and grease.

The Facts of Faith 2:130

Persons who have indulged their appetite to eat freely of meat, highly seasoned gravies, and various kinds of rich cakes and preserves, can not immediately relish a plain, wholesome, nutritious diet. Their taste is so perverted they have no appetite for a wholesome diet of fruits, plain bread, and vegetables. They need not expect to relish at first food so different from that in which they have been indulging.

Unpublished Testimonies, November 5, 1896 (Healthful Living, 166)

The less that condiments and desserts are placed upon our tables, the better it will be for all who partake of the food. All mixed and complicated foods are injurious to the health of human beings. Dumb animals would never eat such a mixture as is often placed in the human stomach.... Rich and complicated mixtures of food are health destroying.

Salt Glow

The ancient Romans developed physical measures for such treating minor and major illnesses, both acute and chronic, using various baths and massages.

Many of the techniques have been passed down to the present time, and one of their time-honored treatments is called the salt glow. It is an easy treatment to administer, either to oneself or to another person.

Increasing Circulation

There are a number of uses for the slat glow, beginning with the usual type of non-serious disorders such as fatigue, tension, or weakness. If you get up in the morning feeling unable to go to work try taking a salt glow and you will feel much better.

This technique works well for chronic indigestion, too. Many disorders such as constipations, heartburn, diarrhea, and other afflictions of the gastrointestinal tract can be normalized by means of a regularly applied salt glow.

Diabetics will find that their skin functions better as a storage depot for glucose following a meal and that their blood sugar level can be kept more constantly at a low and normal rate with regular application for the salt glow.

Although the salt glow should not be used on eczema and some other forms of skin disease, acne can be greatly helped by its application. If you have a cold, this can be one of the best ways to stimulate circulation and shorten its duration.

EASY TECHNIQUE

The technique for the salt glow is quite easy. Just fill a bowl with about a half-cup of medium fine salt (not as coarse as salt used in an ice cream churn, but more coarse than table salt).

Moisten the salt just enough so it sticks together slightly. Step into the shower and wet the body all over, then step out from under the water, but remain in the shower stall or tub.

Take about a teaspoon of moistened salt into the palm and rub hands together to evenly distribute it, then start rubbing the skin of one extremity (it is usually best to start with an arm.)

Rub the arm briskly up and down in a short fraction friction. Use another lump of salt to rub the abdomen, making sure the abdominal muscles are tight when doing so.

The procedure can be repeated until every portion of the body's skin has been covered. An assistant can treat the back, or a towel can be used, which has been rubbed with some of the salt to get the friction to the back.

When the entire body has been covered, take a cool shower, turning around in the water and rubbing the skin briskly with a coarse washcloth. After thirty seconds of cool rinsing, step out of the shower and take a brisk rubdown with a coarse towel.

After the salt glow, shower, and coarse towel rubdown, move quickly to bed and lie there for at least thirty minutes to enable the salt glow to “react.”

Be aware that failure to take this “reaction” rest period may result in nullifying much of the good effects of the salt glow, and may leave one susceptible to taking cold.
