What About Vitamin B12?














WHAT ABOUT B12 FOR VEGANS?  DO VEGANS NEED A B12 SHOT?

One of the many delusions being taught today is that the diet of a strict vegetarian does not provide B-12.

Medical Science is now showing otherwise. It is not really true that no one food has B12, as aloe vera contains it. Another thing, when you wake up in the morning Vitamin B12 is in your mouth so do NOT brush your teeth and spit it out. Drink water and swallow. Also, if we eat from all 4 food groups every day, our bodies will make its own B12. Plant based eaters do not require as much vitamin B-12 as meat eaters do. http://www.ucheepines.org/a-discussion-of-vitamin-b12

Please ask for the following documents:

‘Supplementation: Is it Necessary?

              And

‘What to Eat For Two and Three Meals’                              

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. CAUTION TO THOSE WHO HAVE HAD THEIR TONSILS REMOVED: It’s harder for the body to make its own B12 when the tonsils have been removed, but it can still be done…just eat from the 4 food groups and get your levels tested.

THE TREATMENT FOR B-12 DEFICIENCY:

  • Fill out a complete Lifestyle Assessment Form for me
  • Read my blog “What to Eat for Two and Three Meals”
  • Pray
  • Read all the documents to know how to reverse disease properly/according to the Spirit of Prophecy
  • Ask for them if you don’t have them or don’t know what they are
  • Go on the Two Month Program

What About Sourdough Bread?


“But, what about sourdough bread, Dr. Clark, we’ve heard it’s better and has beneficial probiotics?

A friend with irritable bowel says they tolerate it better than yeast breads.”

Responses to our recent newsletter article, “Fermented Food?” varied, and among them were these questions about the much acclaimed “sourdough” bread.

Why is sourdough bread “sour”?

It is because of its production of, among other things, vinegar (acetic acid)1 as a byproduct of fermentation (see our article on VINEGAR DANGERS here).


How is sourdough bread made?
In sourdough bread making, the yeast raising agent of yeast bread is replaced with “starter”.

What is starter, and where does it come from?
The internet is replete with instructions on making your own starter from scratch, but suffice it to say that it involves preparing a media on which organisms will grow, exposing that media to organisms from the air, etcetera, and growing them.

What organisms?
That depends on what was around in the air when you exposed your media to it. The Bible says And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.” 2

What organisms are considered desirable for starter in sourdough bread?
Well, obviously, ones that make the bread rise; ones that make gas. So, if you are looking for a probiotic from bread, you will get a probiotic that makes gas. Do you need a probiotic that makes gas? Oh, excuse me! and usually the gas formers are also alcohol formers, as well as formers of other toxic by-products of fermentation. 3

In common with most fermentation processes, sourdough increases the foods content of glutamate, yes free glutamate; the glutamate of “mono sodium glutamate” or MSG. Free glutamate is a neurotoxin responsible for an increase of some cancers. 4 [See Previous Newsletter on MSGThe free glutamate in fermented foods (and otherwise) is addictive to our taste buds, so most people prefer foods with it in it. But the MSG problem in processed foods is a whole other topic on its own.


Sourdough bread(s) have drawbacks; it is after all “sour” bread. Bread should be light and sweet. Not the least taint of sourness should be toleratedThe loaves should be small and so thoroughly baked that, so far as possible, the yeast germs shall be destroyed. When hot or new, raised bread of any kind is difficult of digestion. It should never appear on the table.

This rule does not, however, apply to unleavened bread. Fresh rolls made of wheaten meal without yeast or leaven, and baked in a well-heated oven, are both wholesome and palatable.” 5

Some cooks don’t give up easily on the making of sourdough bread in preference to yeast breads.

“In regard to your not giving satisfaction, I told you all I had to tell. I can say nothing new. You were as an iceberg in my family. You gave me no confidence, no chance to understand you from the beginning to the close of your staying with me. If you would have taken it kindly, you could have, in some little matters, been helped. But you felt jealous of any suggestions made to improve in some things. In the bread line our family had sour bread a large part of the time, and I, at least, when you returned from Sydney, gave you the privilege of having nothing to do in the kitchen. I would freely give you your board, and you could have your time to prepare for your journey. But you chose to continue in the kitchen.”

"But the breadmaking I transferred to Sara, and then Sister Lucas had it given to her. All have felt much better satisfied. We have had good, sweet bread. All that I condemn myself [for] in this matter is that, to save your feelings, I allowed the sour bread to come on my table so long. It was doing injustice to a large family of workers in order to save you from having sensitive feelings on this subject. I am sure that all that was done in this line to suggest to you improvement was not always done. When I should have done it in justice to my family of boarders. When Sara has, by my request made suggestions about the dough rising, that you should have better bread when the yeast was used, you said it was too much trouble; you would go back to the old practice.” 6

Fresh raised (leavened) bread, including yeast bread, should not be eaten fresh. “Bread should be light and sweet. Not the least taint of sourness should be tolerated. The loaves should be small, and so thoroughly baked that, as far as possible, the yeast germs shall be destroyed. When hot, or new, raised bread of any kind is difficult of digestion. It should never appear on the table.”

Zwieback, or twice-baked bread, is one of the most easily digested and most palatable of foods.
 Let ordinary raised bread be cut in slices and dried in a warm oven till the last trace of moisture disappears. Then let it be browned slightly all the way through. In a dry place this bread can be kept much longer than ordinary bread, and if reheated before using, it will be as fresh as when new.”

Bread which is two or three days old is more healthful than new bread. Bread dried in the oven is one of the most wholesome articles of diet.” 7

Most commercial bread is baked and then packaged into airtight plastic bags as soon as possible, thus giving no time for the off-gassing of its toxic products and trapping them in the bread.

Is sourdough bread really better tolerated by people suffering with Irritable bowel disease?
Not so according to recent scientific studies. 8 This same study also discovered that people preferentially choosing sourdough breads experience significantly more feelings of tiredness, joint symptoms, and decreased alertness. So, if you want to avoid feeling tired, having aches and pains in your bones, joints and muscles, having gas, and having difficulty with mental processing, then avoid having sourdough bread as a regular part of your diet.

What’s On Your Face?


Nasty ingredients that make up your make-up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdDpMTrufMA

SOME OF THE MAIN INGREDIENTS INCLUDE:
1. Bat Poop
2. Beetle Blood
3. Animal Fat that has been boiled down
4. And the list goes on

WHAT HAVE WE BEEN COUNSELED ABOUT COSMETICS?

"The cruelties the tyrant of fashion inflicts upon her slaves--willing though they be--are indeed appalling. Just to think of ladies upon whom nature has lavished her charms, submitting to the enameling process only to become subject to paralysis or drop dead from its effects. Others, again, seeking to be fairer than the fairest, are allured by the glaring words, 'laird's bloom of youth,' and similar poetic phrases, and eagerly seize upon the poisonous compounds, only to suffer the excruciating pains of neuralgia or breathe out a painful and lingering existence from the effects of slow poison introduced into the system by their use." {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 17}

The majority of pleasure lovers attend the fashionable night gatherings, and spend in exciting amusements the hours God has given them for quiet rest and sleep in order to invigorate the body. Hours are spent in dancing. The blood becomes heated; the system is exhausted…”  {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 18}

Many are ignorantly injuring their health and endangering their life by using cosmetics. They are robbing the cheeks of the glow of health, and then to supply the deficiency use cosmetics. When they become heated in the dance the poison is absorbed by the pores of the skin, and is thrown into the blood. Many lives have been sacrificed by this means alone. {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 20}

THE FATAL EFFECTS OF PAINTING THE FACE

"No one can ride or walk through the fashionable portion of New York City, attend any place of amusement, or go to any evening party, without becoming aware of the horrible fact that many women of whom better things might be expected, have fallen into the pernicious habit of applying to their skins the enamels which, under various attractive names, are advertised and sold in all parts of the land. {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 22}

"Not only faded faces, but countenances so young, plump and pretty in outline that they must in their natural condition be attractive, are lacquered over with an unnatural polish of fine porcelain, which produces an effect such as one might imagine if a china doll were afflicted with the consumption.  {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 23}

"This practice is as pernicious as it is disgusting--the seeds of death or paralysis being hidden in every pot and jar of those mixtures, which are supposed to be not only innocent, but also to possess the virtues of the undiscovered fountain of perpetual youth. {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 24}

Some who use them will suddenly have a severe illness; and receiving a private warning from the family physician, will cease the use of the cause of their disorder, and recovering, go through life with an extremely bad complexion, as a reminder of their folly. {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 25}

"Others will drop suddenly, with their features twisted on one side, and perhaps deprived of the use of their limbs. Others will die outright, no one guessing why. The effect on any particular person cannot be calculated. What one suffers paralysis from, may kill another outright. The only safety is in having nothing to do with any of these baneful preparations."  {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 26}

The slaves to fashion take these burdens upon themselves, and make their own life very wearisome with needless care, in their anxiety to keep pace with fashionThey lay upon the altar of fashion, health, happiness, life and Heaven. {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 27}

Christians cannot afford to make this great sacrifice. They cannot afford to sow to the flesh and reap corruption. That which ye sow ye shall also reap. Now is the sowing time. The reaping time hasteth. What will the harvest be? The inspired apostle addresses us, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service…” {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 28}

"The fashionable style of woman's dress is one of the greatest causes of all these terrible diseases."  {HL 64.2}

“More die as the result of following fashion that from all other causes.” {HL 64.3}

*** DON’T USE LOTIONS, BODY WASHES, SOAP THAT HAVE HARMFUL INGREDIENTS

***HONEY & BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES FOR THE FACE

WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO SAY THEY ARE UGLY?

"Curls and cosmetics are all in requisition to enhance the beauty of 'the human face divine;' but what is the result? Youth's roses only flee the faster--old age will creep on apace; rouge cannot hide its wrinkles, nor can it make any face beautiful. We are decided believers in the old adage, 'handsome is that handsome does.' no face has true beauty in it that does not mirror the deeds of a noble soul. There is not a thought, word, or deed, that does not leave its autograph written on the human countenance; and we care not whether kind nature has given her child an ugly face or a handsome one, if the heart that beats underneath all is warm and loving. And if the soul that looks out from the eyes be true and pure, the face will be beautiful always, for it has found the true fountain of youth; and though time may fold the hair in silver, and furrow the brow, yet there will ever be a beauty lighting it up that years cannot dim, for the heart and soul never grow old." {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 15}

"Another writer says under the caption."  {HR, October 1, 1871 par. 16}

What To Do If Charcoal Is Not Available To Buy


Charcoal is usually obtained from a hard wood, charcoal is produced by slow combustion in a relative absence of oxygen. If you do not have any available, in an emergency, you can burn a piece of hard wood and scrape or chip the charcoal from the charred wood. After moistening it with water, force it through a food grinder.

Commercial source is usually made from coconut shells(burnt toast or charcoal briquettes are not charcoal!) Treatment with superheated steam can produce activated charcoal, which is capable of much greater adsorptive effect. This is because more surfaces of the charcoal have been exposed. The surface area of charcoal is astounding for it has millions of micropores with surface areas ranging from 400 to over 1,800 square meters per gram! There are 50 million charcoal particles in one pound!

Websites showing how to make it:

What Is The Truth About Coconut Oil?


Coconut oil, although saturated, is good when used in moderation.The fatty acids in coconut oil are shorter chains of carbon atoms, which makes a difference in the way our body handles them. Saturated fatty acids with 18 carbons (long chains) appear to be the ones that have the negative effect in our body. This type of saturated fat is more abundant in products of animal origin. In fact, some studies seem to show that the real culprit may not be the saturated fat itself but the animal protein that comes along with it. Many authorities in nutrition are proposing that the real culprit and most powerful blood cholesterol elevator is the animal protein.

Who are the people with the highest rates of hypercholesterolemia (a condition characterized by very high levels of cholesterol in the blood)? The ones who eat the typical western diet, high in animal food and refined vegetable oils? Or the inhabitants of the developing countries who eat diets low in animal product and high in coconut and coconut products and oils?

Another point in favor of coconut oil is that because it is saturated and made of medium and short chains of fatty acids it is more stable (resistant to oxidation). It can resist higher temperatures (cooking…but we don’t want to fry anything) and more exposure to light; therefore, it has a longer shelf-life. Whereas vegetable oils, which are long chains of polyunsaturated fatty acids are less stable and more prone to oxidation.

According to many authorities in nutrition, the best oils to use are the monounsaturated ones, like olive oil and avocado oil, and the short chain, saturated coconut oil. The more unsaturated oils (the polyunsaturated vegetable oils) need to be used freshly extracted because they are easily oxidized. Also, the vegetable oils like corn oil, safflower oil, cottonseed oil, etc., are very high in the linoleic fatty acid,which is used by the body to make prostaglandins that favor inflammation, thus increasing the risk of chronic diseases like coronary heart disease, arthritis, cancer, etc.
