Hard Facts About Soft Drinks

“He who is converted from errors in eating, DRINKING and dressing is being prepared to hear and receive the truth into a good and willing heart.”  (CH 221-222)

“With all the precious light that has continually been given to us in the health publications, WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LIVE CARELESS, HEEDLESS LIVES, eating and DRINKING AS WE PLEASE...Let us take into consideration the fact that we have souls to save or to lose, and that IT IS OF VITAL CONSEQUENCE HOW WE RELATE OURSELVES TO THE QUESTION OF TEMPERANCE. It is of great importance that individually we act well our part, and have an intelligent understanding of what we should eat and drink and how we should preserve health. All are being proved to see whether we will accept the principles of health reform or follow a course of self-indulgence.”  {CD 341.4}

For many people, there is nothing more refreshing than a cold bottle or can of their favorite soft drink. The cool, sparkling taste of soft drinks is enjoyed around the world. In the United States for example, soft drinks have emerged as America’s favorite beverages—they have become more popular than coffee, tea, and juice combined.

In fact…compared to just 25 years ago, Americans are now drinking…twice as much soft drinks,…an average of 56 gallons (or, 212 liters) a year! That’s nearly 2 cans a day for every man, woman, and child. Amazing as it may sound, the average American consumes more soft drinks than water! (But America is not alone, across the globe, people everywhere are drinking more soft drinks than ever before.)

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED IF THESE DRINKS HAVE ANY IMPACT ON YOUR PERSONAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING?

When most people open the pull tab on their favorite can of cola, it doesn’t come to mind that they are about to take a long drink of an…artificially colored, chemically flavored mixture of carbonated water, phosphoric acid, sweeteners, preservatives, and caffeine.

Research suggests that these soft drinks present personal health risks, both because of what they contain and what they replace in the diet. Let’s begin by taking a look at the sugar these drinks contain.

Carbonated drinks are the single largest source of refined sugars in the American diet…more than 1/3 of the total sugar consumption.

With your average soft drink containing 8-12 teaspoons of sugar, there are many potential health hazards. Here are just a few of them.

# 1. A WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEM

Sugary soft drinks are one reason for frequent colds, flu, and infections.

Scientific evidence has shown that sugar hinders our body’s ability to fight off bacteria and keep us well. Just one soft drink, containing 12 tsp. of sugar is enough to weaken the protective ability of our body’s white blood cells…by 60%, for 5 hours.

When you consider how often throughout the day some people consume soft drinks and other sugary foods, it becomes obvious that their white blood cells are not functioning very effectively for many hours of each day.

# 2. UNBALANCED NUTRITION

Although most soft drinks contain LOTS of calories from sugar, they have NO nutritional value. Drinking 2 or 3 soft drinks can considerably reduce the amount of good, nutritious food a person eats each day. This significantly decreases their nutrition.

Research shows that heavy soft-drink consumption is linked with low intake of essential B vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, copper, and chromium as well as a high intake of calories, fat, and sugars.

WHAT’S THE RESULT?

Malnutrition is the main concern that many health experts have with the rising soft drink consumption.

One U.S. government study found that only 2% of children and teenagers, ages 2- to 19, met all of the federal recommendations for a healthy diet.

Did you know that one out of five one and two-year-old children already consume soft drinks? These soda drinking toddlers average nearly one cup per day, which considering their body size is quite significant.

# 3. WHAT ABOUT EXTRA CALORIES?

Lots of soft drinks, means lots of sugar, which also means lots of calories.

Along with increased soft drink consumption has come an increase in obesity. With a typical soft drink containing 150 calories, the average American, within just one year will take in…over 64,000 calories of sugar from soft drinks alone! Now….it takes 3,500 calories to make one pound of fat.

Assuming you’re already eating enough to maintain your weight, and in addition…you drink 2 cans (24 ounces) of soft drinks daily, how many days would it take to “drink on” an extra pound? Drinking the average 2 cans a day; it would take…just under 12 days to hang an extra pound of fat. At this rate you could gain 30 pounds a year from soft drinks alone! It’s no wonder diet drinks have become so popular! But are they really a good solution?

Most diet soft drinks are sweetened artificially and contain less than one-calorie per 12 ounces.

Do these low calorie soft drinks really work to help us stay fit and trim? Current research says “no.”

One study of over 75,000 women found that those who used artificial sweeteners were significantly more likely than nonusers to gain weight over time.

Another study found that diet soda drinkers ate more food and gained more weight than when they were free to drink regular sugar-sweetened soft drinks. The researchers concluded that these artificial sweeteners increased both hunger and appetite. And soft drinks are associated with still more health concerns.

Nearly all soft drinks contain chemical additives for color, flavor, and preservation. During 1996, it is estimated that worldwide, people were “drinking” twenty million-six hundred thousand tons of chemicals, from soft drinks alone! That’s nearly 9 pounds (or, 4 kilograms) for every man, woman, and child. Several of these soft drink additives are raising significant health concerns.

Among them is caffeine. Relatively few people realize the degree with which caffeine can impact their personal health.

Even if a soft drink is caffeine free, most contain phosphoric acid, or phosphorus. Phosphorous combines…with calcium, depleting the body of this essential mineral…by eliminating it through the kidneys.

With today’s concerns about osteoporosis and brittle bones, the fact that each of these soft drinks takes some calcium from the bones could be a greater risk than you want to take.

When I think of soft drinks and all of their unpleasant aftereffects, I am reminded of the words of scripture...

1 Corinthians 10:31 – Whether therefore ye eat, or DRINK, or whatsoever ye do, do all TO THE GLORY OF GOD.

Isaiah 55:2,1 –  “Why do you spend money…for what does not satisfy? …Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters…”

Friends, God has provided us with something better. PURE WATER IS THE PERFECT BEVERAGE. It quenches thirst, contains no calories to add unwanted fat, and no caffeine. It’s readily available, and it’s cheap! For the best of health, be good to yourself and start enjoying nature’s super fluid—water—today!

Snake Bite

Use the Simplest Remedies.--Nature will want some assistance to bring things to their proper condition, which may be found in the simplest remedies, especially in the use of nature's own furnished remedies--pure air, and with a precious knowledge of how to breathe; pure water, with a knowledge of how to apply it; plenty of sunlight in every room in the house if possible, and with an intelligent knowledge of what advantages are to be gained by its use. All these are powerful in their efficiency, and the patient who has obtained a knowledge of how to eat and dress healthfully, may live for comfort, for peace, for health; and will not be prevailed upon to put to his lips drugs, which, in the place of helping nature, paralyzes her powers. If the sick and suffering will do only as well as they know in regard to living out the principles of health reform perseveringly, then they will in nine cases out of ten recover from their ailments.-- Medical Ministry, pp. 223, 224 (Manuscript 22, 1887).  {2SM 287.4}

Charcoal and water or (smartweed) poultice on ASAP covered with plastic and change every 10-15 min for 3 hours.

• Then change every 30 minutes for 3 hours.
• Change every hour for the next 6 hours.
• Then the next 12 hours every 2 hours.

Take 2 T. of charcoal by mouth every 2 hours for 3 doses.

1 t. every 2 hours….then 2 glasses every hour.

#1: Give Cayenne Pepper (90,000 HU's) under the tongue or a dropperful in a glass of water. For under the tongue, do this every 5 minutes x 15 minutes (a total of 3 times). Then do ½ t. in 1 cup of water about every 2-4 hours for the first day.

#2: Suck out the venom or suction it out, then apply a charcoal poultice every 20 minutes for the first 3-4 hours. Then apply one every 30 minutes for the next 2 hours. Then apply 1 every hour x 24 hours. Then the next day, apply it every 6 hours. Then 1 every 8 hours for the next couple of days.

Note: I have been told Sea Holly Plant works as well.

Tobacco & Alcohol

“Tobacco using is a habit which frequently affects the nervous system in a more powerful manner than does the use of alcohol; the habit is more difficult to overcome. Body and mind are, in many cases, more thoroughly intoxicated with the use of tobacco than with spirituous liquors, for it is a more subtle poison.”  {3T 562.1}

ITEMS THAT WE USE, EAT, OR DRINK THAT FOSTER A DESIRE FOR TOBACCO/NICOTINE

1: TEA & COFFEE – “By the use of tea and coffee an appetite is formed for tobacco...” (3T 563.3)

2: CONDIMENTS, RICH FOOD, SPICY FOOD – “At the table, loaded with injurious condiments, rich food, and spiced knickknacks...acquires a taste for that which is hurtful to him,..The appetite soon craves something stronger, and tobacco is used to gratify that cravings...”--Review and Herald, Sept. 6, 1877.  {Te 182.4}

3: IN MANY CASES, FLESH ITEMS – “Many parents educate the tastes of their children and form their appetites. They indulge them in eating flesh meats and in drinking tea and coffee. The highly seasoned flesh meats and the tea and coffee, which some mothers encourage their children to use, prepare the way for them to crave stronger stimulants, as tobacco...” {3T 488.3}

NATURAL REMEDIES FOR:

1: STOP SMOKING URGE REMEDY:

¾ c. fresh lemon juice

¼ c. honey (not from grocery stores...only Trader Joe's, Farmer Markets, or Honey Farm...NOT RAW KIND)

1/3 teaspoon peppermint oil (you can get this from www.revive-eo.com and then search for peppermint oil.  To get a discount please message me.       

***Combine all ingredients and take 1 teaspoon when you have the urge to smoke.

2: WATER:

A. Drink lots of water when the urge comes on. This will flush out the nicotine from the body

B. #2: STEAM BATH: Sit in a tub that is filling up. Use a bath thermometer and when the temperature reaches 102°, sit in this for 20 minutes. Be sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after and keep a cold rag on the head at all times. You may need a bowl of ice water on the side to dip the head rag in when it gets hot. Rinse off in cool water. Do not friction dry your body. Pat dry, then lay down for about 30 minutes if possible.

Diabetics and those with heart disease are blocked or hardened arteries should not do the Steam Bath.

           OR

A COLD SHEET WRAP (this is good for those who can't do the steam bath)

Dip a queen size sheet in a bucket of cool water, then wrap the body completely in this sheet while in the nude.  Then wrap up with a blanket and lay down for 30 minutes.  This will draw toxins out of the body.

#3: BATH:

Soak in a warm bath for 30 minutes.

ALCOHOL INFORMATION:

“Two thirds (66.6%) of the drunkards in our land created an appetite for liquor by the use of tobacco.”

--Signs of the Times, Oct. 27, 1887.  {Te 72.3}

“Many mothers who deplore the intemperance which exists everywhere do not look deep enough to see the cause. They are daily preparing a variety of dishes and highly seasoned food which tempt the appetite and encourage overeating. The tables of our American people are generally prepared in a manner to make drunkards...”  (3T 563.1)

ITEMS WE USE, EAT, OR DRINK THAT FOSTER A TASTE FOR ALCOHOL:

1: TEA, COFFEE, AND TOBACCO:

“By the use of tea and coffee an appetite is formed for tobacco, and this encourages the appetite for liquors.” (3T 563.3)

“...It is only a step from tobacco using to liquor drinking; in fact, the two vices usually go together.”  {Te 71.2}

“This appetite for tobacco is self-destructive. It leads to a craving for something stronger,--fermented wines and liquors...”  -Letter 102a, 1897.  {Te 58.1}

2: RICH, HIGHLY SEASONED FOOD:

“Those who accustom themselves to a rich, stimulating diet, find after a time that the stomach is not satisfied with simple food. It demands that which is more and more highly seasoned, pungent, and stimulating. As the nerves become disordered and the system weakened, the will seems powerless to resist the unnatural craving. The delicate coating of the stomach becomes irritated and inflamed until the most stimulating food fails of giving relief. A thirst is created that nothing but strong drink will quench.  {Ed 203.2}

At the table, loaded with injurious condiments, rich food, and spiced knickknacks, the child acquires a taste for that which is hurtful to him, which tends to irritate the tender coats of the stomach, inflame the blood, and strengthen the animal passions. The appetite soon craves something stronger, and tobacco is used to gratify that craving. This indulgence only increasing the unnatural longing for stimulants, liquor drinking is soon resorted to, and drunkenness follows...” --Review and Herald, Sept. 6, 1877.  {Te 182.4}

3: FLESH FOOD ITEMS:

“Many parents educate the tastes of their children and form their appetites. They indulge them in eating flesh meats and in drinking tea and coffee. The highly seasoned flesh meats and the tea and coffee, which some mothers encourage their children to use, prepare the way for them to crave stronger stimulants, as tobacco. The use of tobacco encourages the appetite for liquor, and the use of tobacco and liquor invariably lessens nerve power.” {3T 488.3}

NATURAL REMEDIES TO HELP STOP ALCOHOL CRAVING:

1:

1 c. honey (purchase only from Trader Joe's, Farmer's Market, or a Honey Farm) (Honey drops the alcohol content in the blood)

½ t. peppermint oil (go to www.revive-eo.com to order but be sure to tell them I sent you so I get my referral points. :)

1 t. cayenne pepper (90,000 heat units...May purchase from Amazon or do a Google search)

1 t. ginger root powder (may purchase from Amazon or do a Google search)

½ c. blackstrap molasses (may purchase from Amazon or do a Google search)...Plantation Brand is best)

⅓ c. black cherry concentrate (may use the frozen kind or purchase from Trader Joe's)

***Mix all the ingredients above and chill. Take 1-2 Tablespoons at every craving.

2: STEAM BATH:

Sit in a tub that is filling up.  Use a thermometer and when the temperature reaches 102 degrees, sit in this for 20 minutes.  Be sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after and keep a cold rag on the head at all times.  You may need a bowl of ice water on the side to dip the head rag in when it gets hot.  Rinse off in cool water.  Do not friction dry your body. Pat dry, then lay down for about 30 minutes if possible.

Diabetics and those with heart disease are blocked or hardened arteries should not do the Steam Bath

OR A COLD SHEET WRAP (this is good for those who can't do the steam bath)

Dip a queen size sheet in a bucket of cool water, then wrap the body completely in this sheet while in the nude.  Then wrap up with a blanket and lay down for 30 minutes.  This will draw toxins out of the body.

3: BATH: Soak in warm water for 30 minutes.

4: ACTIVATED CHARCOAL POULTICE OVER THE LIVER:

Go to YouTube and type in HOW TO DO A CHARCOAL POULTICE.  Put this poultice over the Liver at least one time a day x 7 days.

5: HERBAL LIVER TEA

Milk Thistle and Dandelion Root are considered THE MOST EXCELLENT HERBS FOR THE LIVER.

These 2 herbs detoxify the Liver while rebuilding the cells.

Put 2 Tablespoons of each: Dandelion, Milk Thistle, and Red Clover into a pot with 36 oz. of water. Bring to soft boil, then simmer and cover x 20 minutes. Remove from burner, strain, and put into 32 oz. Mason jar.  Drink 8 oz. 4 x day.  DO NOT DRINK WITH MEALS -- DRINK 30 MINUTES PRIOR.

Learning The Medical Missionary Work The Correct Way

“We have come to a time when EVERY MEMBER of the church should take hold of medical missionary work…”  (7T 62.1)

“That which is of the most importance is that the students be taught how to represent aright the principles of health reform…”  {9T 177.3}

“…It is the duty of every person to become intelligent in regard to disease and its causes…”  (HL 19.5)

“…Those who go forth to engage in the work of the ministry must be intelligent upon the subject of health reform …”  (MM 238.3)

WHY DO WE NEED TO BECOME INTELLIGENT ON THIS SUBJECT?

“…Strange things have been done in the medical missionary work of late…”   (CH 370.3)

“…Many have misinterpreted health reform, and have received perverted ideas of what constitutes right living…” (CD 200.3)

HOW DO WE BECOME INTELLIGENT ONT HIS SUBJECT?

“…They will also have much to unlearn and much to learn again…” {EW 67.2}

(Note: In order to be educated the right way in this work, we will have to unlearn many things we have learned regarding this work, and learn many things we were unaware of)

“Fifty times as much might be accomplished in self-education…education of self means more than the colleges can give you…”  {3MR 363.2}

HOW DO WE SELF EDUCATE SO WE CAN BECOME INTELLIGENT IN THIS WORK?

“…Few can take a course of training in our medical institutions. But all can study our health literature and become intelligent on this important subject…”  {MM 320.3}

(notice it says “our” health literature, and not the world’s health literature)

WHICH LITERATURE/BOOKS?

(See the list at the end of this document)

HOW FAST CAN ONE LEARN THIS WORK AND STILL BE AN EFFICIENT WORKER?

“…Ye must step fast… now time is almost finished, and what we have been years learning, they will have to learn in a few months. They will also have much to unlearn and much to learn again…”  {EW 67.2}

“…There are those who with a few months' instruction would be prepared to go out and do acceptable medical missionary work…”  {PC 38.7}

TO WHOM HAS THE METHODS OF TREATING THE SICK PLAINLY BEEN REVEALED TO?

“…The methods of treating the sick were plainly revealed to me…”  {20MR 373.2}

(All the methods were revealed to the prophet.  If it's not in her writings, it's not necessary and is not for us...See EW 124.2 (last sentence)

Meaning, we don’t use probiotics and other things for this was never shown to the prophet.  However, if it’s an herb, but she doesn’t mention the herb, as long as it’s not a harsh herb and is known for having great benefits, then it’s okay to learn that because she says “roots and herbs.”

BY WHOM DID SHE LEARN THIS WORK?

“…The Lord has marked out a way in which his people are to carry forward a work of physical healing…” (MM 14.3)

“...The true medical missionary work, a work that has the great physician to dictate and preside in all it comprehends…”  {10MR 314.1}

(Christ is the “Great Physician” See:CD 458.5, and He has laid out the way for us on how to do the work of healing the correct way)

ARE WE TO GO TO THE WORLD OR SUNDAY KEEPERS TO LEARN HOW TO DO ANY OF THIS WORK?

No!!! Read Early Writings 124.2-.3

No!!! We are to go to OUR HEALTH LITERATURE

Read our health literature to become intelligent upon the subject of health reform.

“…Few can take a course of training in our medical institutions. But all can study our health literature and become intelligent on this important subject…”  {MM 320.3}

“Fifty times as much might be accomplished in self-education…education of self means more than the colleges can give you…”  {3MR 363.2}

“Many are going directly contrary to the light which god has given to his people, because they do not read the books which contain the light and knowledge in cautions, reproofs, and warnings…”  (4T 391.1)

“…They should...read the best authors on these subjects, and obey religiously that which your reason tells you is truth.”  {CH 566.3}

HEALTH BOOKS OF OURS THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDED FOR US TO READ

“…It is of the highest importance that among the studies selected for childhood, physiology should occupy the first place…”  (CH 38.1)

REGARDING ‘FIRST BOOK IN PHYSIOLOGY & HYGIENE’ BY J.H. KELLOGG:

“We have just received from the publishers, Harper & Brothers, New York, a copy of “THE FIRST BOOK IN PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE,” by J. H. Kellogg, M.D., who is at the head of the Medical Sanitarium at Battle Creek, Mich. The book is designed as a primary text-book on physiology, for children from six to twelve years of age. It contains twenty-six lessons, with a summary at the close of each lesson, and questions for review at the close of the book. The wide experience of the author as a physician, and his skill as a teacher, have enabled him to get up a book that is thoroughly scientific, and at the same time adapted to the comprehension of children. Moreover, the book is eminently practical. With this book in hand as a guide, we cannot see how any teacher who has a fair knowledge of physiology can fail to make the subject interesting. Of course, it is expected that the teacher will have charts and models, and will add many illustrations to that given in the book; but, even if this is lacking, we think that the book is better able to teach itself than any other book we have ever seen, and better, in fact, than many persons to presume to teach physiology and hygiene. We hope to see this book generally adopted in the public schools, and whether or not, parents would do well to procure it for their children to study at home.”  {March 9, 1888 EJW, SITI 160.14}

I highly recommend this book for all, including adults.  Even though it says it's for 6 to 12 yr. old to read, our 6 to 12-year old’s of today probably would have a difficult time understanding quite a bit of the contents. (Please read both quotes at the end of this book)

Even though I am a nurse, and have taken anatomy and physiology in college, I highly recommend this book.  It brings out points i never even thought of such as running very quickly or any violent exercise fills the lungs up with blood very quickly and due to it happening so fast, a blood vessel can break, and a person can literally drop dead just like that. This is just one tidbit this book offers.

Note: Running over time also produces what is known as a runner's heart (aka an ENLARGED HEART)

REGARDING THE ‘HYGIENIC FAMILY PHYSICIAN’ BY DR. M.G. KELLOGG:

“This is the title of a work recently published at this office. As the title suggests, it is a work especially designed for family use. The style in which it is written is such as to render it perfectly intelligible to all classes, as it is quite free from technical terms and phrases which are of such frequent occurrence in nearly all books of this kind which have previously appeared as to render them more or less objectionable. It is, nevertheless, “a complete guide for the preservation of health and the treatment of disease without the use of medicine.”  {1868 JNL, HBH 1A.1}

The work is written in four parts. The subjects treated are, in Part I., health and hygienic agents; Part II., Disease and Drugs; Part III., The Bath; Part IV., Diseases and Their Treatment…this work is of a thoroughly practical nature, and should be in the hands of every family in the land, as it affords instruction of the most vital importance. Directions for the treatment of disease are so plain and minute that any person of ordinary intelligence with its assistance may successfully treat nine-tenths of all the cases of disease which occur in any neighborhood. The publishers have placed the price so low that the book may be obtained by any one who feels at all in need of such a work.” {1868 JNL, HBH 1a.2}

Note: This is the same Dr. that witnessed Ellen White having no breath when in vision.  See John Loughborough’s book titled ‘Great Second Advent Movement’ page 205.2 to read about this

Note: There are a few things in this book that I don’t agree with like Cancer really can’t be cured(we know it can according to the prophet)

Other than that, this book is wonderful!!! And the water treatments are so simple.

JUST REMEMBER THOUGH!!!

Ignore any part that is in contradiction to that the Prophet was shown regarding treating disease.

NOTE: This book is no longer available for sale. But I am adding the link right below:

Regarding 'Handbook of Health, Or a Brief Treatise on Physiology and Hygiene’ by: J.N. Loughborough:

“At the 1866 General Conference session, strong resolutions favoring reform and calling for the establishing of a health institution were adopted. Shortly thereafter the Western Health Reform Institute was opened in Battle Creek, and steps were taken to produce a practical medical book that would instruct and guide along the lines of health principles. [The physicians at the institute assigned this task to J. N. Loughborough, who had led out in the establishment of the institution. The manuscript, prepared in counsel with the institute physicians, was more than a year in preparation and yielded a 205-page book, compiled largely from standard medical works.Titled Handbook of Health; or a brief treatise on Physiology and Hygiene, It was published in early 1868.] At the next General Conference session, 1867, several resolutions were adopted urging the acceptance of health reform as a part of the work of preparing for the judgment. Other resolutions called for simplicity in dress, and recommended the “reformed dress.” One called for support of the Health Institute, “that this may be enlarged to meet the wants of its patients.” The institute was asked to issue a book “on the structure, functions, and care of the human system.” Loughborough was already working on the manuscript for this.”  {2BIO 176.3}

“Since most medical works are large and expensive, it was decided that a small book should be prepared, compiled from the larger works, containing those things essential to aid the common reader in line with the testimony given us.
