Apology and Correction on Pumpkin Seed Article

It was brought to my attention that my blog on Pumpkin seeds had the following statement:

"I believe it is essential to get some of your omega-3 fats from animal sources, such as krill oil, as well."

That was a HUGE MISTAKE and I missed taking it out and fixing it. I deeply apologize.

I have now changed it to what it is supposed to be and that is flax seeds! 

Thanks for understanding I am human too and make mistakes. 

I NEVER EVER recommend animal anything so if you see that please feel free to bring it to my attention. 

Thanks and God bless!

Renee :)

Biblical Remedies – The Benefits of Figs

3 John 2 – “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as they soul prospereth.”

Matthew 4:4 – “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

“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.”  {MH 127 .2}

BIBLE EXAMPLES FOR HEALING:

1st Example: 2 Kings 4: 9-36

9 And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.

10 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

11 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.

12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

13 And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

14 And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.

15 And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

16 And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.

17 And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.

18 And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

19 And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.

20 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

21 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.

22 And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

23 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him today? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.

24 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.

25 So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:

26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well:

27 And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.

28 Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

29 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.

30 And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.

31 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

32 And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

33 He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.

34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

35 Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

36 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.

 

Q: WHAT WOULD YOU CALL WHAT ELISHA DID FOR THIS BOY?

A: Mouth to mouth resuscitation

 

Q: HOW MANY OF US KNOW HOW TO PERFORM MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION AND/OR CPR?

***If we don't, as Medical Missionaries, it is highly recommended that each one of us get trained in this area. If you can't afford to pay for such a class, you can read The Natural Remedies Encyclopedia on pages 753-757 (4th & 5th Edition); pages 991-999 (7th Edition).

 

2ND EXAMPLE: 2 Chronicles 16:12-13

12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.

13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

 

2 Kings 20:1-7

1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.

2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,

3 I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

4 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.

6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

7 And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

 

Q: WHAT DOES THE PROPHET OF THE LORD SAY REGARDING THIS REMEDY?

A: “A Poultice of Figs for Hezekiah. -- When Hezekiah was sick, the prophet of God brought him the message that he should die. The king cried to the Lord, and the Lord heard him, and sent the promise that fifteen years should be added to his life. One word from God, one touch of the divine finger, would have been enough to cure Hezekiah instantly. But instead, he was given directions to make a poultice of figs, and lay it upon the part affected. This was done, and Hezekiah was restored to health. It would be well to treasure this prescription which the lord ordered to be used, more than we do.”  --Manuscript 29, 1911 (General Manuscript). {2SM 300 .1}

                                                      

Q: WHY FIGS?

A: Figs apparently have a derivative of benzaldehyde. It has been reported that investigators at the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research in Tokyo say benzaldehyde is highly effective at shrinking tumors, though I haven't seen this report. In addition, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says figs, which contain vitamins A and C, and calcium, magnesium and potassium, may curtail appetite and improve weight-loss efforts. Fig juice is also a potent bacteria killer in test-tube studies.

OTHER THINGS FIGS ARE GOOD FOR:

Bacteria

Boils

Bone Problems

Cardio-Vascular Problems

Diabetes

Fighting Infection

High Blood Pressure

Lung Problems

Macular Degeneration

Skin Problems

Tumors

Warts

Much, Much More

Bursitis

Bursitis is an inflammation of a small sac that contains a minute quantity of fluid to cushion or lubricate muscles and tendons. After middle age, tendons are prone to degenerative changes, and these sacs, located around the shoulders, knees, elbows, and other joints, accumulate calcium deposited in the area of the degeneration, causing inflammation.

TRY THESE FIRST

Because sloping shoulders increase this pressure, women suffer from bursitis more than men, along with heavy lifters, and sedentary workers. Try these suggestions for relief:

1. Avoid injury to the joints that are especially vulnerable to bursitis. A strain, a direct blow, of overweight, unusual shoulder or knee motions such as from painting, swimming, and lifting heavy objects at arm's length may precipitate bursitis.

2. Allergies and infections may precipitate bursitis, so try to live at a high level of health.

3. Avoid the development of excessive fatigue while doing an unusual motion you are unaccustomed to. When heavy objects must be carried for some distance, the best position is to hold it in front of you using both hands, holding the object somewhat like a tray.

4. Don't allow chilling of the extremities at night -particularly the shoulders, which are especially vulnerable at night. Wear warm sleepwear.

5. Never begin heavy work until you've “warmed up” by doing some light work.

TREATMENT

1. Ice compresses can be applied to the affected area, especially in the acute phase. Keep the ice on for about 5-7 minutes. Remove for one minute, and repeat three times.

2. Hot and cold compresses are sometimes helpful in relieving inflammation. Three minutes of hot compresses (as hot as can be tolerated) should be followed immediately by a 20-second ice water compress. Repeat four times. Give the treatment three or four times daily.

3. Do not use deep massage, as it may increase inflammation.

4. A short period of complete rest for the part may decrease the inflammation. But do not prolong a period of inactivity, as a stiff joint may result.

EXERCISES

TRY THESE EXERCISES AFTER ANY HOT OR COLD TREATMENT:

Wall Walking: Place your hands on the wall at arm's length and lean into it. Starting slightly above the level of the waist, walk hand over hand as high as you can reach without pain. As you make progress, reach higher each time before pain or tightness stops you. Repeat the exercise four times daily.

Stooping Arm Swing: Bend forward at the waist until your chest is parallel to the floor. Let your affected arm and hand relax and swing from the, shoulder. Using your shoulder as a pivot, make a motion with your trunk that causes your arm and hand to swing in a circle. The more you improve, the larger the circle you can make without discomfort.

Standing Arm Swing: Slowly extend the affected arm back and up. Raise it outward and up. Repeat this exercise for 10 minutes, using the opposite hand and arm as a symmetrical balance.

Pulley: Rig up an overhead pulley with a five-pound weight on a rope. Pull down on the rope and then allow it to pull the arm up as far as it will go. Start out with five pulls, three times a day; gradually work up to 50, three times a day.

Continue the usual, accustomed activities, as permitted by the pain or stiffness.

What To Tell All Sick People Per The Spirit of Prophecy

“I said, you are now a sick man, and you feel your need of a physician…now you must be made to feel that you have not treated yourself as you should, but HAVE DISREGARDED THE LAWS OF HEALTH by your terrible neglect of yourself. Something must be done…”  {Lt115-1898.4}

“Keep regular hours. You will need to guard yourself strictly. Do not worry about any one or anything. Look to Jesus. Confess your transgression of nature’s laws, and…do not suppose that you must consider your digestive organs incurable. Tell the Lord all about it. You need not consult any physician. Arouse yourself, and act on the light you have. Study to understand yourself, and be determined to obey the laws the Lord has made to govern your being. Do all you can to break up the disorderly habits you have felt you could not prevent.”  {Lt115-1898.5}

“… From house to house, when you are presented with unhealthful food to eat, tell the people you are seeking to turn back the mighty current of physical evil, and that you dare not sacrifice your life through indulgence to please any mortal. Guard the citadel of the body. Improve in a knowledge of how to take care of the house you live in. Nature, if you give her a chance, will seek to counteract the evils placed upon her, and will take up her work and do it wisely and well.”  {Lt115-1898.6}

“…Faculties of mind and body will be renewed. But in order for this to be, they must practice self-denial, and be temperate in all things. Thus only can they be saved from physical and spiritual death and restored to health.”  {MM 262.3} 

 “We find in every such instance a good reason why they cannot live out the health reform. They do not live it out, and have never followed it strictly, therefore they cannot be benefited by it…” (CD 399.1)

AND FOR THOSE WHO DO FIND HEALING, BUT GO BACK TO THEIR OLD WAYS:

“A man may spend all that he has in this world at a health institute, and find great relief, and may then return to his family and to his old habits of life, and in a few weeks or months be in a worse condition of health than ever before…the object of the health reform and the health institute is not, like a dose of "painkiller" or “instant relief,” to quiet the pains of today. NO, INDEED! Its great object is to teach the people how to live so as to give nature a chance to remove and resist disease.”  {1T 643.1}

Health News ~ October

Happy Fall Everybody! For those of you who live in areas where the colors change -- aren't they lovely? I love this time of year where it is warm during the day and cool at night. It is my favorite time of year!

Here is a GREAT RECIPE to try and it is very simple and quick. Carob is very tasty and is good for you as well.

Fudge

½ c. honey

½ c. chopped walnuts

¼ c. carob powder

1 T. Roma

½ t. real salt

½ c. almond butter

¼ c. soy supreme soy milk powder (this can be left out but the consistency is better with it) DO NOT use any milk powder with sugar in it has to be one that is plain.)

Mix all together with hands and kneed. (Wearing a disposable glove works well) Add soymilk powder to form stiff dough, form into balls. Chill.

Carob is not an empty calorie food. It has 8 % protein, some B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, manganese, chromium, copper, and nickel.

Carob comes from the carob tree which is grown mostly in the Middle East. It belongs to the legume family and produces long pods which are dried and ground finely to produce carob powder.

Referred to in the Bible, the carob pods helped sustain John the Baptist during his wilderness sojourn and are often called St. John’s Bread.

In order to achieve a fine chocolaty flavor with excellent nutritional value and the absence of harmful stimulation, use carob powder in any recipe calling for cocoa, cacao, or chocolate.

CAFFEINE IS A DRUG  and this information is VERY IMPORTANT.  Here are some facts about it…When we drink caffeine it pulls water out of the system.  We need to drink enough water (½ of your body weight in ounces, plus 16 ounces during your first hour of waking up) every day and cut out ALL caffeinated drinks.  Our body is made up of mostly water, (70-80%) so we need to drink more water.

One of the organs most rapidly affected by caffeine is the brain. Almost 99% of the caffeine that is filtered by the kidneys is reabsorbed. Caffeine must be metabolized to be eliminated from the body.

Caffeine affects many of the body’s organs. It constricts the blood vessels, speeds up the heart, and stimulates the brain, stomach, kidneys, ovaries, and testes.

Symptoms of excessive caffeine include sleep disturbances, headache, tremulousness, jitteriness, anxiety, light-headedness, irritability, depression, rapid heartbeat, skipped heartbeats, rapid breathing, diarrhea, stomach pains, heartburn, frequent urination and muscular tension.

Persons, who drink 1-5 cups of coffee per day, have a 50% greater chance of heart attacks than do non coffee drinkers. It is 110% greater for those who drink 6 or more cups per day.

Withdrawal symptoms are common among those who try to quit caffeine. The first to occur is usually a headache, which may develop as soon as 18 hours after the last dose of caffeine. Other symptoms include drowsiness, inability to concentrate, lethargy, yawning, depression, nervousness, and nausea. These can last for 2 weeks or more.

Pregnant females and newborn babies metabolize caffeine very slowly. High doses of caffeine have been associated with an increase in cleft palate and malformations of extremities in experimental animals. So caffeine should definitely be avoided during both pregnancy and nursing.

NOW LET’S EVALUATE CHOCOLATE with a judgment as to its suitability as a food. Chocolate has caffeine in it and more. LISTEN TO THIS…

Chocolate requires additives to mask bitterness, so a large amount of sugar is necessary to make chocolate palatable. Then they add milk, cream, or oil to eliminate the unpleasant grainy consistency in chocolate. This makes an unhealthy food and WILL obstruct digestion, and cause fermentation.

There are natural contaminants in chocolate. Most cocoa beans are produced in countries where sanitation levels are FAR below those generally practiced in the USA.

The pods are cut from the tree, piled up in the yard of the farmer and fermented, a process which takes from 3-8 days. During this process, people walk over the piles, insects, rodents, small animals and other living things make their nests in piles and many types of contamination may occur during this primary part of the manufacture of chocolate. At the peak of fermentation, the temperature builds up which promotes the growth of bacteria and molds. It has been shown that large quantities of aflatoxin, the cancer producing agent from the molds, can be produced in cocoa beans. This fermentation process is ESSENTIAL for the development of the chocolate flavor. After the fermentation the seeds are sun dried or kiln dried and then ready to be shipped to the chocolate manufacturers where they are roasted and ground to make a chocolate liquor somewhat like soft peanut butter. In this stage, bacterial contaminants multiply. 

The FDA ALLOWS in chocolate and chocolate liquor up to 120 insect fragments per cup or 2 rodent hairs per cup. Four percent of cocoa beans may be infested with insects and still carry the blessing of the FDA. Visible or solid animal excreta must not exceed 10 milligrams per pound. For chocolate powder or pressed cakes there must not be more than 75 insect fragments in 3 T. of the powder! Most individuals who believe to be allergic to chocolate themselves are in fact allergic to the animal parts that are in it. 

As for me, because of those 2 things alone, I have banished chocolate from my diet forever! Fortunately for us chocolate lovers, a good substitute is available that has a much more favorable manufacture and is processed under greater sanitary conditions...and that is carob. 

Carob is naturally sweet. It does not require fermentation to develop its flavor. It is a rich source of pectin, which aids in digestion and elimination. Pectin is in the group of indigestible complex carbohydrates commonly called fiber. The pectin in carob is useful for arresting simple diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. It settles the stomach and like all fiber, helps take up poisons and toxins in the intestine and eliminate them from the body.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says…“What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.”

“He (Satan) well knows that is it is impossible for man to discharge his obligations to God and to his fellow-men, while he impairs the faculties God has given him. The brain is the capital of the body. If the perceptive faculties become benumbed through intemperance of any kind, eternal things are not discerned.” Review and Herald, Sept. 8, 1874

Let’s obey God’s divine plan to eat healthy. You wouldn’t put sugar in your gas tank or soda pop in your transmission. Then let’s not put caffeine in our bodies when God has told us not to. 

May God bless you as you strive to feed your body healthy according to His manual. God made our bodies and He knows best what to put in it.
