IN THE SOP, WE ARE TOLD THE FOLLOWING ABOUT MANUFACTURE MINERALS
“Every poisonous preparation in the vegetable and mineral kingdoms, taken into the system, will leave its wretched influence, affecting the liver and lungs. --F. of F., p. 140. {HL 176.5}
“From our study of the testimonies and the little work, how to live, we can see that the Lord is strongly opposed to the use of drugs in our medical work. . . . several of the students are in doubt as to the meaning of the word 'drug' as mentioned in how to live. Does it refer only to the stronger medicines as mercury, strychnine, arsenic, and such poisons, the things we medical students call 'drugs,' or does it also include the simpler remedies, as potassium, iodine, squills, etc.? We know that our success will be proportionate to our adherence to God's methods. For this reason I have asked the above question.” {2SM 278.3}
“The first item in chapter 28, which follows immediately, is Mrs. White's reply to the inquiry of that medical student.” -- White Trustees. {2SM 278.4}
“Your questions, [SEE INTRODUCTORY NOTE, PP. 276-278.] I will say, are answered largely, if not definitely, in How to Live. Drug poisons mean the articles which you have mentioned. The simpler remedies are less harmful in proportion to their simplicity; but in very many cases these are used when not at all necessary. There are simple herbs and roots that every family may use for themselves and need not call a physician any sooner than they would call a lawyer. I do not think that I can give you any definite line of medicines compounded and dealt out by doctors, that are perfectly harmless...” {2SM 279.1}
