The Importance of Exercise












3 John 1:2 – “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”

The health reform is an important part of the third angel's message; and as a people professing this reform, we should not retrograde, but make continual advancement. It is a great thing to ensure health by placing ourselves in right relations to the laws of life.” {ML 128.2}

“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...”  {MH 127)

Proper exercise is one of God's physicians.” (CH 261.2)

Education should be given on proper diet, dress, and EXERCISE…our own people be educated... according to God's order...”  {CD 406.4}

***Note: According to Lee Wellard @ Wildwood Lifestyle Center, when a person exercises TOO VIGOROUSLY, the body can produce blood clots, and it will affect fibrinolysin, which is an enzyme that has a role in blood clotting - so when this gets effected, it can lead to heart attacks.... (Remember 1 Corinthians 9:25… “…Every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things...this INCLUDES EXERCISE.

“There is no exercise that can take the place of walking. By it the circulation of the blood is greatly improved.” -- Testimonies for the Church, vol. 3, p. 78 (1871).

WALKING, in all cases where it is possible, IS THE BEST REMEDY for diseased bodies, because in this exercise all the organs of the body are brought into use.” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 3, p. 78 (1871)).

Jesus says, “...I must walk today, and tomorrow, and the day following...”

WHEN TO WALK:
MORNING exercise, in 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, congestion of brain and lungs, inflammation of the liver, the kidneys, and the lungs, and a hundred other diseases.” {ML 136.5}

A short walk after a meal, with the head erect and the shoulders back, exercising moderately, is a great benefit...”  {CD 103.3}

Exercise will aid the work of digestion. To walk out after a meal, hold the head erect, put back the shoulders, and exercise moderately, will be a great benefit...” {2T 530.1}

WHERE TO WALK:
“...Should practice exercising out of doors in walking...”  {3T 78.1}

“Those who accustom themselves to proper exercise in the open air will generally have a good and vigorous circulation.”  {ML 136.4}

Go out and exercise in the open air every day, even though some things indoors have to be neglected.”  {ML 136.6}

WHY OUTDOORS?
“Rooms that are not freely ventilated daily... are not fit for use...not admitting pure air and the rays of the sun. It is dangerous to health and life...until the outside air shall have circulated through them for several hours... Every room...should be thoroughly ventilated every day, Every room...should be daily thrown open to the healthful rays of the sun, and the purifying air should be invited in. This will be a preventive of disease...The confined air of unventilated rooms meets us with sickening odors of mildew and the impurities exhaled by its inmates...are poisonous to the system.”  H. R. {HL 142.2}

***Note: Studies show that exercise outdoors in the sunshine can strengthen the heart 100 x more than working out in a gym...According to the studies, exercising outdoors has a more positive effect on the heart.

HOW TO WALK:
“…taking a BRISK WALK in the open air...”  {HR, November 1, 1880 par. 19}

Brisk, yet not violent exercise in the open air, with cheerfulness of spirits, will promote the circulation, giving a healthful glow to the skin, and sending the blood, vitalized by the pure air, to the extremities. The diseased stomach will find relief by exercise...”  {2T 530.2}

A short walk after a meal, with the head erect and the shoulders back, exercising moderately, is a great benefit...”  {CD 103.3}

“To engage in deep study or VIOLENT EXERCISE immediately after eating, hinders the digestive process...”  (CD 103.3)

HOW MUCH WALKING:
Hours should be spent EACH DAY in walking or in working in the open air when the weather will permit...”  {HR, April 1, 1872 par. 5}

(If a person walks at least 2-3 miles a day, plus walk about 10-15 minutes after each meal and do some outdoor work, they will get a minimum of 2 hours of outdoor exercise) 10,000 Steps per day.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ONE DOESN'T EXERCISE?
“It is the inaction of the human machinery that brings suffering and disease.”   {ML 136.3}

“More people die for want of exercise than through overfatigue; very many more rust out than wear out...” {ML 136.4}

Without physical exercise no one can have...vigorous health...”  {CT 307.2}

“In some cases, want of exercise causes the bowels and muscles to become enfeebled and shrunken, and these organs that have become enfeebled for want of use will be strengthened by exercise...”  (3T 78.2)

WHAT ABOUT THE SICK?
Those who are feeble and indolent should not yield to their inclination to be inactive, thus depriving themselves of air and sunlight, but should practice exercising out of doors in walking or working in the garden. They will become very much fatigued, but this will not injure them. . . . It is not good policy to give up the use of certain muscles because pain is felt when they are exercised. The pain is frequently caused by the effort of nature to give life and vigor to those parts that have become partially lifeless through inaction. The motion of these long-disused muscles will cause pain, because nature is awakening them to life.” {CH 200.1}

If invalids would recover health, they should not discontinue physical exercise.”  {2T 528.1}

Many sick people can NEVER get well without exercise.”  (3T 76)

Emergency Natural Remedies for the Medicine Cabinet













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

JESUS IS THE PHYSICIAN OF ALL PHYSICIANS... Matt 4:4 – “...It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

Jeremiah 46:11 – “Go up into Gilead, and TAKE BALM, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.”

BALM = #6875 in the Hebrew section of the Strong's Concordance = tser-ee (sor-ee) to leak: distillation/Balsam/Balm
BALSAM = Oil from plants; vegetable juices
BALM = The sap or juice of trees or shrubs; Any fragrant or valuable ointment -- In Botany = Many plants

Ezekiel 47:12 – And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and THE LEAF THEREOF FOR MEDICINE.

There are many ways of practicing the healing art; but there is only ONE WAY that heaven approves. God’s remedies are the simple agencies of nature that will not tax or debilitate the system through their powerful properties.”  (CD 301.2)

“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)

“If the harmonious working of the system has become unbalanced by overwork, overeating, or other irregularities, do not endeavor to adjust the difficulties by adding a burden of poisonous medicines.”
{MH 235.1} (See also 20MR 36.2)

WHY NOT?
By the use of poisonous drugs, many bring upon themselves lifelong illness, and MANY LIVES ARE LOST that might be saved by the use of natural methods of healing. The poisons contained in many so-called remedies create habits and appetites that mean ruin to both soul and body. Many of the popular nostrums called patent medicines, and even some of the drugs dispensed by physicians, act a part in laying the foundation of the liquor habit, the opium habit, the morphine habit, that are so terrible a curse to society.”  {MH 126.4} 

A practice that is laying the foundation of a vast amount of disease and of even more serious evils is the free use of poisonous drugs. When attacked by disease, many will not take the trouble to search out the cause of their illness. Their chief anxiety is to rid themselves of pain and inconvenience. So they resort to patent nostrums, of whose real properties they know little, or they apply to a physician for some remedy to counteract the result of their misdoing, but with no thought of making a change in their unhealthful habits. If immediate benefit is not realized, another medicine is tried, and then another. Thus the evil continues.” {MH 126.2}

“Let physicians teach the people that restorative power is not in drugs, but in nature.”  {MH 127.1}

“People need to be taught that DRUGS DO NOT CURE DISEASE. It is true that they sometimes afford present relief, and the patient appears to recover as the result of their use; this is because nature has sufficient vital force to expel the poison and to correct the conditions that caused the disease. Health is recovered in spite of the drug. But in most cases the drug only changes the form and location of the disease. Often the effect of the poison seems to be overcome for a time, but the results remain in the system and work great harm at some later period.”  {MH 126.3}

“The Lord has given some simple herbs of the field that at times are beneficial; and if every family were educated in how to use these herbs in case of sickness, much suffering might be prevented, and no doctor need be called. These old fashioned simple herbs, used intelligently, would have recovered many sick who have died under drug medication.”  {21MR 290.1}

VERY IMPORTANT: THE PEN OF INSPIRATION NEVER SUPPORTED THE USE OF DRUG MEDICATION:

“In regard to the book on Christian temperance, that portion that was expressed in reference to drug medication as though it was recommended by me is not according to the light that I have been given to present to the people. I must, if I made this statement, have done so in expressing the idea of working away from the use of all drugs concocted at the apothecary. WE HAVE NO USE FOR THEM. WE SHOULD NOT VINDICATE THE USE OF DRUG MEDICATION...” (20MR 36.2)

THE #1 CAUSE OF DEATH = DRUG MEDICATION:
There are more who die from the use of drugs than all who would have died of disease had nature been left to do her own work.” --H. to L., Chap. 3, p. 61. {HL 244.4}

Gary Null Ph.D. states in this video series, when addressing the New York State Assembly in October, 2009, when New York State was making it a mandatory law that all Medical Staff receive the H1N1 Vaccination. He states in this video series, that after doing all his research, the research proves that the #1 cause of death is not heart disease, but drug medication.

Part 3: YouTube took it down :(

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}

17: Earache: ½ - ⅓ c. olive oil and 4 cloves chopped garlic. Place oil and chopped garlic in a small pan and heat till olive oil heats up...you do not want to cook the garlic. Remove from heat and place in jar (you can strain the garlic if you'd like; I don't do this). Tear a tiny piece off from a cotton ball and use this to dab a bit of the oil...squeeze 3 drops into the infected ear. Cover with clean cotton ball.

18: Asthma Attack: Place a couple of drops each of Eucalyptus and Peppermint Oil into a pot of boiling water and stand over inhaling or place a couple drops of each in the HHN (Hand Held Nebulizer). Also do water treatments to chest/back area where lungs are... Also do deep breathing exercises in the open air. Rub Eucalyptus oil mixed with Olive Oil over chest/back lungs area. One more thing...1 drop of Propolis dropped in a Hand Held Nebulizer (HHN) will help zap the bacteria out.

Earaches Should Not Be Treated With Antibiotics Natural Remedy For Earaches













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

Every person should have a knowledge of nature's remedial agencies and how to apply them. It is essential both to understand the princip
les 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}

ACCORDING TO THE HEALTH CARE REFORM BILL (HR 3200), THIS BILL'S GOALS ARE TO:

1. Provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans (non-citizens are included as well)

2. Reduce the growth in health care spending

3. Other purposes


IN AN ARTICLE ON NEWS MAX HEALTH…

DATED JUNE 8, 2010, WE ARE TOLD THE FOLLOWING:

1.   More medical care won't necessarily make you healthier — it may make you sicker. It's an idea that technology-loving Americans find hard to believe.

2.   Anywhere from one-fifth to nearly one-third of the tests and treatments we get are estimated to be UNNECESSARY, and avoidable care is costly in more ways than the bill: It may lead to dangerous side effects.

3.  Doctors prescribe antibiotics tens of millions of times for viruses, such as for colds that the drugs can't help.

4.   Medical groups are starting to get the message. Efforts are under way to help doctors ratchet back avoidable care and help patients take an unbiased look at the pros and cons of different options before choosing one.

5.  “Yet let me tell you, with additional tests and procedures comes significant harm,” said Dr. Bernard Rosof, who heads projects by the nonprofit National Quality Forum and an American Medical Association panel to identify and decrease overuse.

6.  “It's patient education that's going to be extremely important if we're going to make this happen, so people begin to understand less is often better,” he said.

7.  Under treatment was in the headlines over the past year when the Obama administration and Congress wrestled with legislation to get better care to millions who lack it.

8.  Nor is there always clear evidence for one therapy choice over anotherIt can be faster to give in to a patient's demand for medicine than to explain why, for example, a child doesn't need antibiotics for ear pain.

9.  An American Medical Association Journal, archives of internal medicine, just began a “less is more” series to educate doctors about the risks of overused treatments.

10. This summer, the journal annals of internal medicine begins publishing American College of Physicians' Guidelines for “high value, cost-conscious care.”

NOW DO WE UNDERSTAND WHY SISTER WHITE SAID THE FOLLOWING?

DO WE SEE THE FOLLOWING GETTING READY TO BE FULFILLED?

I wish to tell you that soon there will be no work done in ministerial lines but medical missionary work...”  {Ev 523.3}

“It is because of the directions I have received from the Lord that I have the courage to stand among you and speak as I do, notwithstanding the way in which you may look at the medical missionary work. I wish to say that THE MEDICAL MISSIONARY WORK IS GOD'S WORK...Take hold of the medical missionary work, and it will give you access to the people. Their hearts will be touched as you minister to their necessities. As you relieve their sufferings, you will find opportunity to speak to them of the love of Jesus.” --Counsels on Health, 533. (1901) {Ev 523.5}

NATURAL REMEDY FOR AN EARACHE:

¼ -½ c. olive oil

5-8 clove of garlic smashed and chopped

Mix both together in a small put and turn on flame to low. Heat only till oil turns warm, DO NOT COOK THE GARLIC.  Remove from heat and let cool. You may strain or leave garlic in and put in glass jar (amber colored jar is best) and store in dark place.

*When needed to use, dip a cotton ball in the home-made oil and then drop approx. 3-4 drops into the ear canal then plug with small piece of cotton ball or tissue.

This remedy works quickly.

GARLIC IS THE #1 ANTIBIOTIC IN THE WORLD
