Sunshine/Vitamin D

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

Precious, precious truths have been given to GOD'S last day church regarding health, and when adhered to, it truly saves lives.

SOP:
“Pure air, SUNLIGHT, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water, trust in divine power--these are the true remedies. 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.”  {Ministry of Healing, 127.2}

Not only are we to know what the remedies are for sickness and disease, but we are to know how to properly apply each one...All it takes is for one misapplication of any of these remedies and the whole body can suffer.

Also, one thing to keep in mind whenever teaching HEALTH REFORM IS IF THE POOR PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD THE REMEDY, IT'S NOT GOD'S HEALTH PLAN/REFORM.  “...you cannot teach health reform unless you present the most inexpensive methods of living...” {Medical Ministry, 266.3}

Today we will be touching on the subject of SUNSHINE/VITAMIN D and how to properly apply it...

Ecclesiastes 7:11 – “...there is profit to them that see the sun.”

Ecclesiastes 11:7 – “Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun.”

There are benefits in seeing the sun (the rays of the sunshine penetrating the eye). Medical Science has proven that those who wear sunglasses do not get the proper levels of Vitamin D because the rays of the sun are not penetrating the eye...What happens is the rays of the sunshine enter the eye, which then goes to the retina of the eye which then triggers the pineal gland (located in the brain) to release hormones in the body. These functions will not take place unless the sunshine enters the eye.

Matthew 6:22 – “The light of the body is the eye...”

ALSO:

Wearing face make-up as well as sun-screen can also be a contributor of preventing one from getting proper levels through the skin. Vitamin D was discovered back in 1930's and was improperly named. It's not a Vitamin at all.

It's actually a hormonal system...it is responsible for approx.. 2000+ functions in the body. In just about every disease known to man, lab tests show a marked deficiency in Vitamin D levels. Proper levels should be 50 and above.

In Autistic Children, research/ studies found that those with levels at 80 and above showed a 180º turnabout in many patients ... The correct test to check for Vitamin D levels is called 25 Hydroxy...30% of Doctors have the wrong levels (125 Hydroxy) checked.

During Winter months, especially in states where there is a lack of sunshine, supplementation may be necessary...95% of the world's population do well with 5,000 IU's a day for just a couple of months...the other 5% do better with 10,000 IU's....D2 is known to be the most common form and is plant based...Word of mouth has it that there is now a plant based D3.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER:

For everything God has, Satan has a counterfeit. The very hours we have been told to avoid are the very hours most beneficial to our health. Improper times can have an effect on the units of Vitamin D our bodies can make. The earlier hours of the sunshine are found to be more beneficial than the later hours...If your shadow is shorter than you are, you're getting the wonderful levels needed...If your shadow is taller, you are going to get a great tan, but not the best levels. When your shadow is shorter than you are (this usually takes place when the sun is mid high in the sky), for every one minute in the sun, you get 1000 IU’s of this vitamin.

GET ALL THE SUNSHINE YOU CAN...IT'S A FALLACY THAT WE SHOULD AVOID IT:

“I must become acquainted with myself, I must be a learner always as to how to take care of this building, the body God has given me, that I may preserve it in the very best condition of health... I must get all the sunlight that it is possible for me to obtain. I must have wisdom to be a faithful guardian of my body. {CD 302.3}

Medical Science is proving that sunshine actually helps get rid of cancer instead of causing cancer. If one is eating a plant based diet and following the laws of health, they need not worry about getting cancer from the sun.

ONE MORE THING:

Sitting indoors in front of a window is not going to give you the proper levels of Vitamin D needed to maintain good health. To learn more about Vitamin D and how it works in the body, please go to the following links and listen to Dr. Scott Grivas of Wildwood Lifestyle Center.

The Truth About Sugar and Fructose

 

BIBLE:

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

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

SOP:

“...SUGAR...We know that a free use of these things is positively injurious to health, and, in many cases, we think that if they were not used at all, a much better state of health would be enjoyed...”  {3T 21.1}

“...from the light given me, sugar, when largely used, is more injurious than meat...” {TSDF 121.2}

“Sugar is not good for the stomach, it causes fermentation and this clouds the brain and brings peevishness into the disposition.” {CD 327.1}

“Sugar clogs the system. It hinders the working of the living machine.”   {TSDF 121.1}

SOME FACTS:

 1: Approximately 200 years ago, Americans on average consumed 14 pounds of sugar each year per person.

Today, the average is ¼ -½ lb. of sugar every day. That's about 90 to 180 lbs. of sugar we put in our bodies every year.

 2: There are 120 teaspoons in every pound of sugar.  ½ lb. = 60 teaspoons ¼ lb. = 30 teaspoons

 3. Americans on average swallow about 22 teaspoons of sugar minimum per day.

 4. In many children, 20-40% of their daily caloric intake comes from sugar. (The top 20 percentile are eating 40% of their calories from sugar)

 5. The foods that contain the most sugar are: Soft drinks, followed by candy, cakes, cookies and pies.

6. A 12 oz. regular soft drink contains 10 teaspoons of sugar.

7. Six teaspoons of sugar = 100 added extra calories.

(According to the W.H.O., total sugar in the diet from fruits, vegetables and added sugars, including honey, should not make up more than 10% of total caloric intake. For a 2000 caloric intake, this represents 200 calories from sugar (12 t. / 4T.)

 8. (Men) Do not eat sugar many hours before a blood test...It can decrease the testosterone levels by 25%.

 9. Brown Sugar is nothing more than White Sugar mixed with Molasses to make it brown.

10. Fructose is very unhealthy too.  (Eliminate white products)

HOW WHITE SUGAR IS MADE

“WHITE” SUGAR IS CREATED IN A COUPLE OF WAYS.

Mill white sugar is the result of sulfur dioxide being introduced to the cane juice before evaporation. It effectively bleaches the mixture.

In the production of refined white sugar, which is the most common product in the Western world, the raw sugar syrup is mixed with a heavy syrup and run through a centrifuge again to take away the outer coating of the raw sugar crystals.

Phosphoric acid and calcium hydroxide are then added to the juice which then combine and absorb or trap impurities. Alternatively, carbon dioxide is used to achieve the same effect.

HEALTH DANGERS OF CONSUMING SUGAR

 1. Elevates Blood Pressure

 2. Elevates Triglycerides And LDL

 3. Causes A Depletion of Vitamins And Minerals

 4. Responsible In The Formation Of Gout

 5. Heart Disease (Clogs Arteries)

 6. Liver Damage

 7. Eye Problems/Damage

 8. Diabetes Worsened

 9. It Compromises The Immune System

10. It Fuels Tumor Growth

11. Makes The Blood Acidic

12. Depletes The Body Of B-Vitamins Causing Nervousness And Irritability And A Lack Of Mental Function

13. Decreases Energy Levels

16. Causes Obesity

17. Cancer

18. Candida Albicans

19. Tooth Decay

20. ADD/ADHD

21. Causes Strokes

22. And Much more

KEEP THE FOLLOWING IN MIND:

Even when eating "The Raw Sugar" medical Science recommends no more than 6 teaspoons (2 T.) per day. So if you make a dessert that contains 2 cups of sugar and you only get 16 slices out of it, that would be 2 Tablespoons of sugar in each slice (there are 16 Tablespoons of sugar in 1 cup...2 cups would = 32

Tablespoons). That would be your recommended amount for the day.

Now let's say you make cookies that required only one cup of sugar (16 Tablespoons) and your batch makes 36 cookies...there would be a little less than half a tablespoon (1.5 teaspoons) in each cookie...

If using a sweetener, try to stick to honey as much as possible, but even when eating honey, be sparing.

 (See Proverbs 24:13 and 25:27)

STEVIA IS GREAT FOR DIABETICS

Agave Nectar has been found to be just as harmful to the body as High fructose corn syrup

Spices And Their Harmful Effects

BIBLE:

3 John 2 – “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and BE IN GOOD HEALTH, even as thy soul prospereth.”

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

SOP:

“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. God holds you responsible to obey the light He has given you on health reform...” {CD 102.1}

“Our food should be plain and free from all objectionable elements...”  {LLM 545.3}

“Abstinence from all hurtful food and drink is the fruit of true religion. He who is thoroughly converted will abandon every injurious habit and appetite. By total abstinence he will overcome his desire for health destroying indulgences.”  {CD 457.1} (9T 113)

“... The idea should never be given that it is of but little consequence what we eat.”  {CD 198.4}

MEDICAL SCIENCE:

QUESTION: WHAT IS A SPICE?

ANSWER: In many cases, a spice is a dried seed, and many times commonly mistaken as a fruit, root, bark, or vegetative substance used in nutritionally insignificant quantities as a food additive for flavor, color, or as a preservative...It may be used to flavor a dish or to hide other flavors.

Rodale’s Ultimate Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening (Rodale Books, 2009) gives readers the following rules of thumb for telling spices and herbs apart:

• Herbs more frequently grow in temperate regions, while spices come from the tropics.

• Herbs are green and often have more subtle tastes; spices tend to be shades of brown, black or red, with

   dramatic pungent flavor.”

Although they may produce a spicy taste, ROOTS ARE NOT SPICES. Turmeric and ginger are ROOTS. GARLIC IS NOT A SPICE, as many mistakenly call it, IT IS AN HERB. Spices are mostly from seeds which will be listed later. It is the seeds of your hot peppers that give off the hot spicy flavor.

SPICES CAUSE THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS:

• Arouse animal propensities (CD 236, 341)
• Blood is fevered (CH 114, CD 236)
• Blood made impure by (MH 325)
• Blood making organs cannot convert into good blood (CD 220, 345)
• Children’s appetite depraved from using (CD 239, CG 381)
• Corrupts blood (Te 57)
• Destroys health (2T 367)
• Natural sensitiveness of stomach's tender coating (CH 114, CD 236, 341)
• Effects the Liver (2T 67)-excites the nervous system unduly (4T 141)
• Feverish state of system cause by use (CD 340)
• Condition of stomach irritated by fiery spice (CD 235-236)
• Irritates stomach (CD 340)
• Paves the way for smoking by children (CD 236; Te 182)
• Blood-making organs cannot convert into good blood (CH 114)
• Corrupts the blood (Te 57)
• Deranges the stomach (CH 114, CD 236, 354)
• Encourages appetite for intoxicating liquor
• Enfeebles intellect (CH 114, CD 368-369)
• Excites the nerves (CH 114, CD 236, 354)
• Inflames stomach (CD 340)
• Impatience induced by (CD Te 57)
• Lack of self-control induced by (CD Te 57)
• Leaves stomach weak (MM 229)
• Weakens moral and intellectual powers (CH 114)
• PREGNANT WOMEN ESPECIALLY SHOULD NOT USE (2T 382)
• FRUIT DISHES (like pumpkin pie and any cobbler) SHOULD BE MADE FREE FROM (2T 486)

“You have perhaps seen a picture of the stomach of one who is addicted to strong drink. A similar condition is produced under the irritating influence of fiery spices...”  {CD 340.3}

IT IS AN ERRONEOUS IDEA THAT SPICES AID IN DIGESTION

“Condiments and spices used in the preparation of food for the table aid in digestion in the same way that tea, coffee, and liquor are supposed to help the laboring man perform his tasks. After the immediate effects are gone, they drop as correspondingly below par as they were elevated above par by these stimulating substances. The system is weakened. The blood is contaminated, and inflammation is the sure result.” {CD 339.4}

IRRITATING SPICES:

• Allspice                                         
• Black Pepper                                
• Cayenne Pepper (only use for medicinal purposes)                               
• Chili Peppers
• Cinnamon                                      
• Cloves                                          
• Mace
• Mustard/Mustard Seeds
• Nutmeg                                         
• White Pepper

“Healthful Food, Simply Prepared.--Every mother should carefully guard her table, and allow nothing to come upon it which will have the slightest tendency to lay the foundation of intemperate habits. Food should be prepared in as simple a manner as possible, free from condiments and spices, and even from an undue amount of salt.” {Te 157.3}

“There are those among Seventh-day Adventists who will not heed the light given them in regard to this matter. They make _____ a part of their diet. Disease comes upon them. Sick and suffering as a result of their own wrong course, they ask for the prayers of the servants of God. But how can the Lord work in their behalf when they are not willing to do His will, when they refuse to heed His instruction in regard to health reform?” {CD 400.4}

For thirty years the light on HEALTH REFORM has been coming to the people of God, but many have made it a subject of jest. THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO USE tea, coffee, SPICES, and flesh meat. Their bodies are full of disease. How can we, I ask, present such ones to the Lord for healing?” (CD 400.4-.5)

SPICE SUBSTITUTIONS:

ALLSPICE – Use allspice substitute.  

BLACK PEPPER – (Dry seeds from a papaya then put into a grinder and grind like you would black pepper)

CAYENNE PEPPER – Use paprika.

CINNAMON – Use cinnamon substitute.

CLOVES – Use coriander instead.

MUSTARD – Use mustard substitute.

NUTMEG – Use cardamom.
