The Harmful Effects of Vinegar Pickles


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

Isaiah 55:2 – “...eat ye that which is good...”

Proverbs 26:2 – “...the curse causeless shall not come...”

Job 29:16 – “...the cause which I knew not, I searched out.”

SOP:
“When the abuse of health is carried so far that sickness results, the sufferer can often do for himself what no one else can do for him. The first thing to be done is to ascertain the true character of the sickness and then go to work intelligently to remove the cause...” (MH 235.1)

“Be sure that as a rational Christian sentinel you guard the door of your stomach, allowing nothing to pass your lips that will be an enemy to your health and life...”  {CD 102.1}

Our food should be plain and free from all objectionable elements, but let us be careful that it is always palatable and good.”  {LLM 545.3}

“Abstinence from all hurtful food and drink is the fruit of true religion.” (9T 113) (CD 457.1)

The idea SHOULD NEVER BE GIVEN that it is of but little consequence what we eat...”  (CD 198.4) (CH 151.1)

***Today we will be talking a little bit about VINEGAR and how it effects the body.

THE USE OF PICKLES:
“The relation of diet to intellectual development should be given far more attention than it has received. Mental confusion and dullness are often the result of errors in diet.”  {Ed 204.1}

“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...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.” {MH 325.1}

The blood-making organs cannot convert spices, mince pies, PICKLES, and diseased flesh meats into good blood...”  {2T 383.2}

“In the study of hygiene, students should be taught the nutrient value of different foods. The effect of a concentrated and stimulating diet, also of foods deficient in the elements of nutrition, should be made plain. Tea and coffee, fine-flour bread, PICKLES, coarse vegetables, candies, condiments, and pastries fail of supplying proper nutriment. Many a student has broken down as the result of using such foods. Many a puny child, incapable of vigorous effort of mind or body, is the victim of an impoverished diet...”  {Ed 204.3}

Flesh meats will depreciate the blood. Cook meat with spices, and eat it with rich cakes and pies, and you have a bad quality of blood. The system is too heavily taxed in disposing of this kind of food. The mince pies and the PICKLES, which should never find a place in any human stomach, will give a miserable quality of blood...”  {2T 368.3}

“...give up bottled PICKLES…”  (CD 420.1)

Q: WHY? Aren't cucumbers a good food to eat? What is in the pickles that is harmful to the body?
A: Vinegar

WHAT'S WRONG WITH VINEGAR?
MEDICAL SCIENCE:
The Lord opened the way for a friend of mine to get in contact with a NUTRITIONAL MICROSCOPIST, who does Live Blood Cell Analysis. His name is Jeffrey A. Arnson. This man is not an SDA, but he shared the following with her: He takes the blood of humans and puts it under a microscope and magnifies it 20,000 times. He said you can see the red & white blood cells; bacteria; infection; how you eat; think; what you have done to your body within the last 90-120 days...

HE SAID…WHEN VINEGAR WAS ADDED TO THE BLOOD IT DID THE FOLLOWING:
  • Depletes WBC (white blood cell) count (this effects your IMMUNE SYSTEM)
  • Can lead to anemia
  • Robs nutrients from the body
  • Thins out the blood
  • Irritates the stomach
  • Excites the blood

(Remember that The Life of the Flesh Is In The BloodLeviticus 17:11)

The fermentation process of vinegar is converted into ACETIC ACID to become vinegar. ACETIC ACID COMES WITH AN MSDS SHEET.   http://www.esciencelabs.com/sites/default/files/msds_files/Vinegar_0.pdf

ALSO:
The combination of vinegar & oil, which is in many salad dressings, causes liver & kidney complaints.

The salads are prepared with oil & vinegar, fermentation takes place in the stomach, and the food does not digest, but decays or putrefies; as a consequence, the blood is not nourished, but becomes filled with impurities, and LIVER.” —Letter 9, 1887 {CD 345.6}

Note: Walter Veith wrote a book called: 'Diet & Health – Scientific Perspectives’.” He shares how lab tests show that vinegar blocks the digestive enzyme “Amylase” & inhibits hemoglobin in the blood.

ITEMS CONTAINING VINEGAR:
  • BBQ sauce
  • Breads
  • Chow Chow
  • Hot Sauces (like Crystal & Tabasco sauce)
  • Ketchup
  • Mayonnaise, regular
  • Mustard
  • Pastries (many)
  • Pickles

Physiology of The Liver

 

BIBLE:
Proverbs 4:7 – “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”

SOP:
All should have an intelligent knowledge of the human frame that they may keep their bodies in the condition necessary to do the work of the Lord. The physical life is to be carefully preserved and developed that through humanity the divine nature may be revealed in its fullness. The relation of the physical organism to the spiritual life is one of the most important branches of education. It should receive careful attention in the home and in the school. All need to become acquainted with their physical structure and the laws that control natural life. He who remains in willing ignorance of the laws of his physical being and who violates them through ignorance is sinning against God. All should place themselves in the best possible relation to life and health. Our habits should be brought under the control of a mind that is itself under the control of God.” {COL 348.1}

The people of God should know themselves. They must understand in regard to their own physical frames.” (CD 33.1)

MEDICAL SCIENCE:
The liver is the largest glandular organ of the body. It weighs about 3 lb. (1.36 kg). It is reddish brown in color and is divided into four lobes of unequal size and shape. The liver lies on the right side of the abdominal cavity beneath the diaphragm. Blood is carried to the liver via two large vessels called the hepatic artery and the portal vein. The hepatic artery carries oxygen-rich blood from the aorta (a major vessel in the heart). The portal vein carries blood containing digested food from the small intestine. These blood vessels subdivide in the liver repeatedly, terminating in very small capillaries. Each capillary leads to a lobule. Liver tissue is composed of thousands of lobules, and each lobule is made up of hepatic cells (hepa meaning liver), the basic metabolic cells of the liver.

OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE LIVER:
  • YOU CAN HAVE A NEW LIVER IN AS LITTLE AS 6 MONTHS
  • ALL BITTER HERBS increase the oxygen levels for the Liver.
  • STRESS affects the Liver which causes the liver to produce Increased Cholesterol.
  • The Liver is the filter for the human body. Anything poisonous put into the body has an effect on the liver. When the Liver is too full of contaminants, it gets backed up, making it unable to filter matter any longer.


THINGS THAT HARM THE LIVER:
1. Poisonous tobacco (2SM 467)
2. Improper breathing (MH 273)
3. Tight clothing that compresses (Te 291-292)
4. Compressed waist by tight pants, skirts, pantyhose, etc. (2SM 473)
5. Confined to indoor work (1T 520)

11. Eating too much burdens the Liver (MH 240; 2T 412-413)
12. Overheated air (1T 702)
13. Foul air (1T 702)
14. White flour which includes unbleached, bread flour, and whole wheat pastry flour (2T 68)
15. Lack of deep and full inspirations (lack of proper inhaling) (2T 67-68)
16. Inactivity (CD 422)
17. Pores of skin not functioning properly causes harmful effect to the Liver (2T 524)
18. Not bathing frequently (bathing...not referring to showers)
19. Poor ventilation/not keeping the windows open (2SM 462)
20. Drinking cider causes problems (5T 357)
21. Eating oil & vinegar combinations like the common Italian salad dressing on the market (CD 345)
22. Stimulants (CD 422)
23. Drinking with meals
24. Eating anything with vinegar in it (ketchup, mustard, BBQ-sauce, pickles, etc...not referring to the homemade kind that doesn't use vinegar) (VINEGAR IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF FERMENTATION)
25. Animal fat has an effect on the liver causing it to have to produce too much cholesterol for the body
26. Drinking any type of alcohol (beer, wine, cider, liquor, etc....) not one sip should be taken
27. Depression – “Sadness deadens the circulation in the blood vessels & nerves, and also retards the action of THE LIVER. It hinders the process of digestion and of nutrition and has a tendency to dry up the marrow of the whole system.” (UL 102.3)
28. Fried food (Divine Prescription & Science of Health & Healing)
29. Cow’s milk (Divine Prescription & Science of Health & Healing)
30. Mercury (Divine Prescription & Science of Health & Healing)

THINGS THAT BENEFIT THE LIVER:

2. Health reform benefits (CD 124)
3. Not eating meat benefits
4. Proper breathing benefits
5. Exercise benefits (MLT 136) Morning exercise, walking in the free invigorating air of heaven, or cultivating flowers, small fruits, and vegetables, is necessary to a healthful circulation of the blood. It is the surest safeguard against colds, coughs, congestions of brain and lungs, INFLAMMATION OF THE LIVER, the kidneys, and the lungs, and a hundred other diseases.”  (HL 176)
6. Getting sunshine every day
7. Drinking plenty of water
8. Proper rest

Physiology Of The Blood


All should have an intelligent knowledge of the human frame that they may keep their bodies in the condition necessary to do the work of the Lord...the relation of the physical organism to the spiritual life is one of the most important branches of education. It should receive careful attention...”  (COL 348)

“Without health, no one can as distinctly understand or as completely fulfill his obligations to himself, to his fellow beings or to his Creator. Therefore, the health should be as faithfully guarded as the character. A knowledge of physiology and hygiene should be the basis of all educational effort.”  (Ed 195.1)

The ignorance of physiology, and a neglect to observe the laws of health, have brought many to the grave who might have lived to labor and study intelligently.”  (Fe 321.1)

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

Psalms 139:14 – “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works...”

FUNCTIONS OF THE BLOOD:
Blood performs many important functions within the body including:
 * Supply of oxygen to tissues. (bound to hemoglobin, which is carried in red cells)
 * Supply of nutrients such as glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids (dissolved in the blood or bound to plasma proteins. (e.g., blood lipids))
 * Removal of waste such as carbon dioxide, urea, and lactic acid.
 * Immunological functions, including circulation of white blood cells, and detection of foreign material by antibodies.
 * Coagulation, which is one part of the body's self-repair mechanism. (blood clotting after an open wound in order to stop bleeding)
 * Messenger functions, including the transport of hormones and the signaling of tissue damage.
 * Regulation of body Ph.
 * Regulation of core body temperature.
 * Hydraulic function.
 * (For more info, see the link at the bottom (Wikipedia)

IN THE BIBLE WE ARE TOLD THE FOLLOWING ABOUT BLOOD:
Leviticus 17:11 – For the life of the flesh is in the blood...the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.”

***The PH of the Blood should be between 7.35 - 7.45. Some say between 7.2-7.6. The higher the number, the more Alkaline the body is.

***What we put into or onto our bodies can determine whether our blood will be acidic or alkaline. Blood flows to every organ/tissue/cell of the body. Whatever is in the blood is carried to every organ/tissue/cell. If the blood is toxic, the organs will become toxic. This is why following the laws of Health is so important because each law helps keep the blood in a healthy, alkaline condition.

THE IMPORTANCE OF EACH LAW OF HEALTH AND HOW IT AFFECTS THE BLOOD:

N = Nutrition (No bad combinations of food; no aspartame, MSG, food coloring, additives, preservatives, carbonation, medicine, eating foods that cause fermentation, or eating foods that are already fermented. Nothing with vinegar in it, no irritating spices such as white pepper, black pepper, allspice, nutmeg, etc. No chili peppers either. This includes jalapenos and cayenne (Cayenne should only be used medicinally). No coffee, tea (this includes Green Tea. Only Herbal Tea is allowed), alcohol, etc. Be sure to eat foods that are high in fiber so you can have proper Bowel Elimination. Without this, the waste matter in the body will ferment, making the blood toxic.

E = Exercise (Exercise, especially walking, helps with the circulation of the blood.

W = Soft Water (not the tap water...be sure your water is purified) helps proper waste elimination. Use both internally and externally. Bathing should be done daily. If baths are not frequently taken, the filth on the body goes back into the pores of the skin, making the blood impure. Clothing should be washed regularly as well. Nothing soiled should ever be worn upon the body.

S = Sunshine...Sunshine helps equalize the circulation of the blood and cleanses the blood as well. It is responsible for the necessary Vitamin D. Without this, hormonal functions (Vitamin D is responsible for 2000 + in the body) will not take place in the body, causing an imbalance, preventing the blood from doing what it is designed to do.

T = Temperance... (Not overdoing in anything, because doing this can bring undue stress to the body, which can produce too much cortisol in the body, making the hormones imbalanced, affecting the blood.
Temperance also = Abstaining from substances that are harmful like tobacco, drugs, chemicals, etc.

A = Air...Fresh, outdoor air has what are called Negative Ions. These Negative Ions are essential for helping oxidize the blood. YOU CANNOT HAVE GOOD BLOOD WITHOUT FRESH AIR MORNING AND NIGHT. Be sure to keep your windows open in each room throughout the day and night. If it's chilly, be sure to do just a small crack in your windows, but NEVER SHUT THIS BLESSING OF HEAVEN OUT.

R = Rest...Overwork can cause undue stress to the body, which as said before, can produce an undue amount of cortisol (produced from the Adrenal glands which sit on top of the kidneys, which are located in the backside, right in the lower back region) and other body chemicals, causing an imbalance in the body, making the blood toxic.

T = Trust in God...OBEDIENCE TO GOD. Every cell in the body, including the blood cell, is dependent upon God. Trusting in the Lord can cause the body to release hormones, which are referred to as happy hormones, which help reduce stress, and bring the body together in balance. The blood is truly benefited when the hormones in the body are properly balanced. However, when a person does not trust or obey God, this can bring depression and a feeling of guilt which will cause the hormones to be imbalanced, making the blood toxic.

DRESS IS ANOTHER LAW OF HEALTH THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED WHEN TEACHING THE LAWS OF HEALTH:
The reason for this is because, it is impossible to have good health with improper circulation. When the extremities of the body (arms and legs, ankles, feet, etc.) are not equally clothed, a chilling of the extremities (even in the summer), can chill back the blood from those areas, causing improper/imbalanced circulation.

SERVICE TO OUR FELLOW MAN IS ANOTHER LAW OF HEALTH THAT SHOULD BE DISCUSSED:
The reason for this is because Jesus says It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35). When you do for others, your body releases those happy endorphins/hormones, which we spoke about before. This in turn, by helping others, helps a person recover health speedily. (Isaiah 58:6-8).

CLEANLINESS IS ALSO ANOTHER LAW OF HEALTH.

CONCLUSION:
I hope and pray, and truly understand why the Lord gave us the Laws of Health and why, through the Prophet, He refers to them as the “Doctors” or “Physicians.” They are crucial to Health. May the Lord Bless you and keep you as you strive to obey His laws.
