Don't people realize that drinking alcohol has put thousands of people in early graves?

ALCOHOL IS A LEGALIZED DRUG BUT IT IS DANGEROUS, HARMFUL TO THE BODY, AND SOMETHING THAT CAUSES SO MANY PROBLEMS.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE BIBLE SPEAKS AGAINST IT?

Proverbs 20:1 – Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

Proverbs 23:31 – Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

Following are a few quotes from Ellen White, you can go online and read the whole chapter regarding alcohol. Chapter 3 and 6....here is the link:

http://text.egwwritings.org/publication.php?pubtype=Book&bookCode=Te&lang=en&collection=2&section=all&pagenumber=43

Temperance, Page 36 – The Only Safe Course—How many frightful accidents occur through the influence of drink...What is the portion of this terrible intoxicant that any man can take, and be safe with the lives of human beings? He can be safe only as he abstains from drink. He should not have his mind confused with drink. No intoxicant should pass his lips; then if disaster comes, men in responsible places can do their best, and meet their record with satisfaction, whatever may be the issue.”  —The Review and Herald, May 29, 1894.

Temperance, Page 44 – “And the Lord spake unto Aaron, saying, Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations: and that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean; and that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.”

Here we have the plainest directions of God, and his reasons for prohibiting the use of wine; that their power of discrimination and discernment might be clear, and in no way confused; that their judgment might be correct, and they be ever able to discern between the clean and unclean. Another reason of weighty importance why they should abstain from anything which would intoxicate, is also given.

Page 52, Divine Warnings—The Lord cannot bear much longer with an intemperate and perverse generation. There are many solemn warnings in the Scriptures against the use of intoxicating liquors. In the days of old, when Moses was rehearsing the desire of Jehovah concerning His people, there were uttered against the drunkard the following words:

“And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst: the Lord will not spare him, but then the anger of the Lord and His jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven.”

Solomon Says: “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.” “Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.”

Page 54 – His (God) forbidding the use of intoxicating beverages is not an exercise of arbitrary authority. He seeks to restrain men, in order that they may escape from the evil results of indulgence in wine and strong drink. Degradation, cruelty, wretchedness, and strife follow as the natural results of intemperance. God has pointed out the consequences of following this course of evil. This He has done that there may not be a perversion of His laws, and that men may be spared the widespread misery resulting from the course of evil men who, for the sake of gain, sell maddening intoxicants. —Drunkenness and Crime, pages 4-6.

(1) Jesus did not turn water into intoxicating wine. That wine He made was the “pure blood of the grape.”

(2) Which is none other than “grape juice,” also referred to as the NEW WINE,

(3) meaning it's not aged or fermented.

ALCOHOL, WHETHER IT BE BEER, WINE, OR LIQUOR CAUSES SO MANY PROBLEMS SUCH AS:
90% of prisoners are those who have learned how to drink.

• Abuse on Women
• Abused Children
• Brain Cells Damaged
• Causes Cancer
• Cheating spouses - many do this while under the influence
• Crime is at an all high during the hours when people mostly drink
• Doubles women's risk for breast cancer
• Drinking also worsens Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Stress, Heart Disease, and so many other medical conditions
• Inhibitions are let go of
• Liver Failure
• Many call off of work because of hang overs, causing businesses to lose lots of money
• Many children starving in America because alcoholic parents spend their last $ on something to drink
• Murders are committed by most who are under the influence of alcohol
• Robberies are increased
• Thousands dead due to drunk drivers
• Thousands of aborted babies from drunken sex/one-night stands
• Violence is highly increased due to the consumption of alcohol
• Weight Gain is caused from drinking alcohol

“Houses of prostitution, dens of vice, criminal courts, prisons, almshouses, insane asylums, hospitals, all are, to a great degree, filled as a result of the liquor seller's work...” {MH 338.3}

If you drink, pledge not to drink...or let's pledge to get others to pledge not to drink. Think of all the misery that could be checked. Think of the millions of dollars that could be saved.

PEOPLE NEED TO REALIZE THAT “DRUNKARDS WILL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.”

1.  Proverbs 20:1; Proverbs 23:29-35
2.  Deuteronomy 32:14
3.  Matthew 9:17; Isaiah 65:8; Matthew 26:29
4.  1 Corinthians 6:9-10
5.  Habakkuk 2:15

Agave Is A Toxic Chemical

AGAVE NECTAR sold in health food stores and some grocery stores is manufactured fructose. Research shows that this kind of fructose (like high fructose corn syrup) is very bad for your health. Many people (including us until 8 years ago or so) have believed that agave nectar sold in stores was simply the natural nectar from the flower of the agave plants.

In fact, agave nectar is really just like corn syrup but instead of using corn to make the sweetener, they use agave roots. (This is the same plant from which tequila is made...a “hard” liquor) there is nothing natural about how they process the agave plant roots and the process actually forms a sweetener that is highly toxic to the liver and causes all kinds of health problems.

Synthetically made fructose is much different than naturally occurring fructose found in fruit, honey and in some vegetables. The best sweeteners to use are dates, male syrup, or honey. Organic “raw” sugar cane (turbinado) is second best but with all sugars, we need to use as little as possible in order for our immune systems to be strong.

• Nowhere in the plant world do you find Agave like you do honey.
• Agave is chemically made, even what they "deem" healthy in the Blue Agave.
• It all acts on the body as Corn Syrup does.
• The best sweetener are the ones God made - like the pure honey, maple syrup, and dates (ground into date sugar), etc.

Activated Charcoal Can Be Used To Remove Years Of Toxins, Poisons and Mold Buildup In Your Body

Activated charcoal is a strong natural remedy that helps you remove toxins and chemicals from the system. It can be of great help when used as a water cleansing product.

Scientists first learned about the power of activated charcoal as an antidote for poisoning in the 18th and 19th centuries. The knowledge has developed, and everyone got to know more about the process of “activation.”

Activated charcoal can be used in cases of poisoning and drug overdose, high cholesterol, bloating and gas, bile flow issues during pregnancy and even hangovers, (but hopefully you do not drink alcohol). So, yes, it is more than powerful.

“Activated charcoal is not the same as the toxic briquettes often used for grilling foods. Instead, it is a byproduct of wood, peat or coconut shells, and is made after being heated along with a gas that assists with opening various ‘pores’ in the coal.

The finished product is a tasteless and odorless powder that may have either positive or negative charges, depending on the pH level of the solution used to create the powder. The activated charcoal powder is very porous, and once activated, the porosity rises, allowing it to efficiently absorb more substances,” Dr. Mercola says.

Activated charcoal traps chemicals and toxins in its tiny spores. However, it does not absorb them. The whole process involves absorption, and the electric change on its porous surface is negative, causing positive charged toxins and gas to attach to it.

Keep in mind that it can cause dehydration, so try to drink 12-16 glasses of water when consuming it. Activated charcoal is an excellent detox remedy for poisoning, it finds great application as a deodorizing and disinfecting product in several other ways.

“That doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to nab a barbecue briquette from the shed and sprinkle it on your salad. Activated, food-grade charcoal is a modified form of the stuff, which means its surface area has been maximized to make it more porous. It’s popular in powdered or capsule form in many natural food stores, and is usually made from coconut shells or bamboo,” an article in The Guardian reads.

OTHER USES OF ACTIVATED CHARCOAL:

Alcohol poisoning and hangover

Activated charcoal eliminates toxins, and prevents alcohol poisoning and prevents the negative symptoms of hangover.

Anti-aging

Toxins makes you age faster, and activated charcoal can stop that. It eliminates toxins and chemicals. Take a couple of capsules every day after being exposed to unhealthy foods, heavy metals and other toxins.

High cholesterol

Activated charcoal lowers bad cholesterol and increased the good one as good as prescription drugs.

Digestive cleanse

Take 10 grams of activated charcoal 90 minutes before your meals to provide a complete digestive cleanse. Do this for a couple of days. Drink enough water and eat organic fruits and veggies, grass-fed meats and wild fish.

Emergency removal of toxins

Use activated charcoal in cases of overdose of pharmaceutical drugs and over-the-counter medication such as aspirin, opium, cocaine, morphine and acetaminophen.

Take it an hour of ingestion, and the optimal dose is 50-100 grams for adults and 10-25 grams for children.

Use activated charcoal in cases of food poisoning that causes nausea and diarrhea.

White teeth

Activated charcoal changes pH values in the oral cavity. It whitens teeth and eliminates bad breath. Activated charcoal also soothes gum disease. It absorbs plaque and microscopic tidbits that damage and stain teeth, giving you a perfect smile. Dip your wet toothbrush in powdered activated charcoal, and brush your teeth. Rinse and repeat three times a week.

Gas and bloating

It glues to gas-causing byproducts in food and relieves bloating. Take 500 milligrams an hour before your meal and a glass of water. Drink another glass after you take it.

Mold

Mold causes headache, depression, immunity issues, kidney malfunction, liver failure, poor brain function, heart disease, eye irritation, vomiting, and respiratory issues. Activated charcoal eliminates mold spores and prevents further complication.

Filter water

Use activated charcoal as a filter for your water. It traps impurities, and you will not get all those solvents, pesticides industrial waste and other chemicals.

Skin and body health

When applied externally, activated charcoal eliminates bad body odors, treats acne, aids in treating snake bites, insect bites, rashes from poison ivy/poison oak.

If you have acne, combine a capsule of activated charcoal and a couple of teaspoons of Aloe Vera gel. Apply the resulting mixture on your fact, let it dry and rinse.

If you need to soothe a mosquito bite or bee sting, combine a capsule of activated charcoal and half a tablespoon of coconut oil. Apply this on the bite every half an hour. Cover with a bandage.

If you are treating bites from snakes and spiders (Brown Recluse, Black Widow, etc.), use the same combo on a larger surface. Apply the mixture and secure with bandages. Repeat every 2-3 hours.

Always have activated charcoal at home. It deserves a spot in your first aid kit.

Activated charcoal is safe, but avoid it if you are dealing with slow digestion, dehydration, intestinal bleeding and blockages, holes in intestines, abdominal surgery, as it affects the body/

“Sometimes mistakenly characterized as a ‘universal antidote,’ activated charcoal is the most frequently employed method of gastrointestinal decontamination in the developed world. Typically administered as a single dose, its tremendous surface area permits the binding of many drugs and toxins in the gastrointestinal lumen, reducing their systemic absorption.

Like other decontamination procedures, the utility of single-dose activated charcoal (SDAC) attenuates with time, and, although generally safe, it is not free of risk.

A large body of evidence demonstrates SDAC can reduce the absorption of drugs and xenobiotics, but most such studies involve volunteers and have little generalizability to clinical practice. Few rigorous clinical trials of SDAC have been conducted,” read the findings of the 2016 study released in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology.

Take activated charcoal 2 hours before your meals, supplements, and prescription drugs.

It interferes with the effect of:

• Naltrexone
• Hydrocodone
• Morphine Sulfate Liposome
• Mycophenolate Mofetil
• Suvorexant
• Tapentadol
• Mycophenolic Acid
• Oxycodone
• Tricyclic antidepressants
• Theophylline
• Umeclidinium
• Acetaminophen
• Oxymorphone
• Acrivastine
• Bupropion
• Meclizine
• Methadone
• Morphine
• Carbinoxamine
• Fentanyl

If you are buying activated charcoal, get a product made from natural sources (i.e. coconut shells). Use it whenever you ingest toxins.

Drink a lot of water when using activated charcoal as it can cause constipation. Consume it 2 hours before your medication and or supplements.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) or drying alcohols.

Lemon Juice – This makes a great little spot mask to help clear a pesky pimple.

Fresh Garlic – Taken internally and/or rubbed directly on the lesion can fight against acne.

Ice – Some find relief by applying ice to an area as soon as you feel a pimple emerging.
