It's Mostly In The Mind (Part 2)

Q: WHAT YOU READ ALSO EFFECTS THE FRONTAL LOBE:

(Go to Ministry of Healing pg. 445.3 starting off with...THERE ARE WORKS OF FICTION) Under True Education vs. False

A: Novel Reading/Fictional Reading (This would head under LIFETIME TV)

Schizophrenia is also centered in the frontal lobe...When we read Novels, it puts us into an imaginary world.

When dealing with people, have them read things that will stimulate the mind.

When dealing with depressed people, whether they are Atheists, Infidels or Christians, have them read the Proverbs that corresponds with the date of the month.  IT WORKS. It's abstract information so they have to work the brain.

Q:  WHAT ELSE?
A:  Exercising the Mind

In Genesis we are told IN THE SWEAT OF THY FACE, THOU SHALT EAT BREAD.  Remember He told Adam that? That was a curse, but it was also a blessing...Because if Adam didn't have exercise, what would have happened?

AN IDLE MIND IS THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP
“It is the idle mind that is Satan's workshop...”    {Ed 189.5}

LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT EXERCISE CAN DO:
***Older people who exercise 3 or 4 times a week have a decreased risk of Alzheimer's.  And now research is showing that it could even help with Alzheimer's.  So, if you ever do a consultation with anyone who has any type of dementia or Alzheimer's, you want to have them exercise at least 3 or 4 times a week...AND,

WHICH IS THE BEST EXERCISE?

WALKING IS THE BEST.
According to research, children who play vigorously 20-40 minutes per day are better able to do their schoolwork, do Math, and do class projects.  

***First of all, in our books like Education and Fundamental Principles of Education, we are told that children should not have a formal type of education until they are at least 8-10.  Were you aware that she refers to them as infants at the ages of 6 & 7?  Also, were you aware, when they are to the ages of 8-10 and older, that they should only have a couple of hours maximum of textbook learning per day and an equal amount of time outdoors doing some type of practical duty?

By the way, the classroom is no place for children to be sitting for 6-8 hours a day.  Especially for boys.  And if you are dealing with a boy who can't sit still, have him go outside and exert his energy in playing for at least 30 minutes....Do you see why it is important that God's people move to the country setting?

WERE YOU AWARE THAT THEY ARE NOW TAKING OUT PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN A LOT OF THE SCHOOLS? This causes teachers to have to deal with a lot of behavioral problems.

***If you are dealing with someone who has an anxiety attack, tell them to immediately go outside and take a walk for 15-20 minutes...This is known to reduce or eliminate an anxiety attack.

You're being taught in a way so that you will be able to go out and help people.

***NEUROGENESIS = THE PROCESS OF GROWING NEW BRAIN CELLS (Brain Cells regenerate in 1 yr.)

When you exercise, it helps the part of the brain that's good for learning and memory to grow new brain cells, known as the Hippocampus.  

***Exercise causes NEUROGENESIS IN THE HIPPOCAMPUS...That's part of the brain for learning & memory.  Can you imagine what would happen if we did that for children with learning disabilities???

Q: ONCE AGAIN, WHICH EXERCISE IS THE BEST???  
A:  WALKING

***By the way, The Hippocampus is the first part of the brain that starts to deteriorate with Alzheimer's

Do you know, very soon, Alzheimer's is going to become an epidemic because people are exercising less.

***By the way, A study at Loma Linda University showed that regular eaters of meat, including those who consume poultry and fish, are at twice the risk of getting Dementia/Alzheimer's.  

There are now 39 yr. olds walking around with Alzheimer's due to lifestyle.  

Research shows that Alzheimer's has Beta Amyloid Plaquing in the brain. 

Q:  WHAT IS THIS TYPE OF PLAQUING?
A: Thick deposits of proteins in the brain that are believed to play a role in nerve cell degeneration in Alzheimer's disease. Also known as simply amyloid plaques.

www.stanford.edu/group/hopes/sttools/gloss/b.html

Q: DO YOU KNOW WHAT CAN HELP WITH THAT AMYLOID PLAQUING?

A:  Something called curcurmin that is found in turmeric can help with that plaquing because it's anti-inflammatory.

***Buy the herbs fresh and make your own capsules if possible because the ones sitting in bottles on the shelves could have been there for a long time and then the herbs are not as effective.
***Keep your herbs in the freezer.

IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS ALZHEIMER'S, GET THEM ON TURMERIC

WHAT ELSE?
Fresh air is important for the mind.

***They did a study and found that children who are in classrooms with the windows open learn better.
It is dangerous to be in a church that does not have windows and is not aired out....the air is electrically charged and has negative ions; we need negative ions for good health.  Don't forget to keep those windows opened day and night.

Q: DO YOU KNOW WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO GO OUT AND GET NEGATIVE IONS?
 A: After a Rain fall

Waterfalls are full of negative ions...the country is full of negative ions as well.  IONS ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE BRAIN.

See what we're doing here? We're going over the laws of health.

Q:  WHAT ELSE?

A:  WATER...Your urine, according to Dr. Agatha Thrash, should be pale.
***Not drinking enough water can decrease a sharp mind.

Q:  WHAT ELSE?
A:  Rest
I said before that we should be in bed by 9:30 and asleep by 10.  Well, I have since been given the following quote by a friend and thought I would share it with everyone:

“Make it a habit not to sit up after nine o'clock. EVERY LIGHT SHOULD BE EXTINGUISHED. This turning night into day is a wretched, health-destroying habit, and this reading much by brain workers, up to the sleeping hours, is very injurious to health. It calls the blood to the brain and then there is restlessness and wakefulness, and the precious sleep that should rest the body does not come when desired.” {DG 177.1}

There should be absolutely nothing done in the bedroom except for dressing and sleeping. You should not have a TV in your bedroom or a radio to put you to sleep.

There shouldn't be any reading or eating in there...because if you do, you will be sending a confused message to your brain...Also, do not watch the clock at night if you have any sleep problems.

DEVELOP BEDTIME RITUALS SO YOUR MIND KNOWS IT'S TIME TO WIND DOWN:

She's brushing her teeth, she's changing her clothes, and she’s turning down the covers of the bed.

Don't watch the news or get on the computer before bed...THESE THINGS KEEP YOUR BRAIN WIDE AWAKE

CHILDREN WHO GET MORE VITAMIN G, That's what they now call Nature, VITAMIN G...They have lower stress levels, they have more success in school and they have fewer ADHD symptoms. Take your children out to the park and out to Nature.

“The sympathy which exists between the mind and the body is very great. When one is affected, the other responds. The condition of the mind has much to do with the health of the physical system. If the mind is free and happy, under a consciousness of right doing and a sense of satisfaction in causing happiness to others, it will create a cheerfulness that will react upon the whole system, causing a freer circulation of the blood and a toning up of the entire body. The blessing of God is a healer, and those who are abundant in benefiting others will realize that wondrous blessing in their hearts and lives.” {4T 60.2} 

Present before the people the need of resisting the temptation to indulge appetite. This is where many are failing. Explain how closely body and mind are related, and show the need of keeping both in the very best condition...”  {CD 161.3}

CAUSES:
1. Masturbation

PREVENTION:
1. Follow all the laws of health (especially diet, sunshine, etc.)

NO eating of flesh (In order to modify the disposition, and bring the higher powers of the mind into active exercise, He removed from them the flesh of dead animals. He gave them angels' food, manna from heaven. {CD 375.2}

2.  Don't allow the reading of novels, fiction, horror books, etc. (As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he)
No watching NEWS, action movies, etc. (MH 444-445)

3.  Guilt will eat a person up.  Confess your faults and repent of your sins.

4.  PRAY

“Prayer will give the sick an abiding confidence; and many times if their cases are borne to the Great Physician in humble trust, it will do more for them than all the drugs that can be administered.” {5T 443.3}

TX:
1.  Cured by looking to all healing Physician. (3T 184)

2.  Consciousness of right doing is best medicine.

3.  A Knowledge of Jesus: “The religion of Christ, so far from being the cause of insanity, is one of its most effectual remedies; for it is a potent soother of the nerves. {5T 443.4}

Satan's Alluring Path by Dr. Magna Parks

Beware of Secular Psychology: by Dr. Magna Parks
http://www.audioverse.org/sermons/seriess/70/magna-parks-and-neil-nedley-healing-the-mind-psychology-and-the-bible.html

BE KIND TO THE UNKIND...IT CAN WIN THEM OVER:
“We may never know until the judgment the influence of a kind, considerate course of action to the inconsistent, the unreasonable, and unworthy. If, after a course of provocation and injustice on their part, you treat them as you would an innocent person, you even take pains to show them special acts of kindness, then you have acted the part of a Christian; and they become surprised and ashamed, and see their course of action and meanness more clearly than if you plainly stated their aggravated acts to rebuke them.” {MM 209.5}

“If you had laid their wrong course of action before them, they would have braced themselves in stubbornness and defiance. But to be treated in tenderness and consideration they feel more deeply their own course of action, and contrast it with yours. Then . . . you occupy vantage ground; and when you show a solicitude for their souls, they know that you are no hypocrite, but that you mean every word you say.” {MM 210.1}

“A few words spoken in a hasty manner, under provocation, and which seemed but a little thing--just what they deserved-- often cut the cords of influence that should have bound the soul to your soul. The very idea of their being in darkness, under the temptation of Satan and blinded by his bewitching power, should make you feel deep sympathy for them, the same that you would feel for a diseased, sick patient who suffers, but on account of his disease is not aware of his danger.” {MM 210.2}

It's Mostly In The Mind (Part 1)

This is a 6 part series and I will be posting one part every day.

“Dealing with the minds is nice work.”  (3T 184)

“Dealing with human minds is the most delicate work ever entrusted to mortals...”  {CT 264.1}

“...It is dangerous to do careless work in dealing with minds.”  {5T 405.1}

WE ARE TOLD THE FOLLOWING:
“Explain how closely body and mind are related and show the need of keeping both in the very best condition.”  {CH 543.4}

“Sickness of the mind prevails everywhere. NINE TENTHS OF THE DISEASES FROM WHICH MEN SUFFER HAVE THEIR FOUNDATION HERE…

“Sickness of the mind prevails everywhere. NINE TENTHS OF THE DISEASES FROM WHICH MEN SUFFER HAVE THEIR FOUNDATION HERE…”  {5T 443.4}

“But few realize the power that the mind has over the body. A great deal of the sickness which afflicts humanity has its origin in the mind and can only be cure by restoring the mind to health...”  {3T 183.2} 

“The state of the mind has largely to do with the health of the body.  And especially with the health of the digestive organs.” (CD 375.2)

Proverbs 23:7 – “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...” 

***Many people think themselves to sickness...and they truly are sick.

EXAMPLE OF A WOMAN WHO THOUGHT A BATH WOULD INJURE HER

“If your mind is impressed and fixed that a bath will injure you, the mental impression is communicated to all the nerves of the body...The brain sends this intelligence to the nerves of the body, and the blood vessels, held in obedience to your will, cannot perform their office and cause a reaction after the bath...” {3T 69.4}

***The way to have a healthy mind is to have a healthy brain.
***A lot of depression is related to not properly taking care of our brains.

“All need to become acquainted with that most wonderful of all organisms, the human body. They should understand the functions of the various organs and the dependence of one upon another for the healthy action of all. They should study the influence of the mind upon the body, and of the body upon the mind, and the laws by which they are governed.”  {MH 128.1}

***So, as Medical Missionaries, you are going to be able to understand the laws that govern the influence of the mind on the body, and the body on the mind.

Now let's talk about some aspects of Lifestyle and how it effects the mind:

SOME PEOPLE SUFFER FROM ANXIETY

Q:  DO YOU KNOW WHICH PLANT FOOD/FOODS ARE GOOD FOR ANXIETY?

A:  WHEATGERM – 2 T. of Wheat Germ…Very Important...The reason being is because it is high in B-Vitamins.  B-Vitamins are very important for the nervous system.  If you know anyone who is anxious or nervous, have them take at least 2 T. of Wheat Germ every morning.  It balances and invigorates the nervous system due to its high nutritional value. (Encyclopedia of Foods and Their Healing Power, Volume 2, pg. 34.

***By the way, (go to pg. 310 and look at the composition chart at the bottom of the pg.) were you aware that taking Folic Acid in a supplement is dangerous to health, but in Wheat Germ, you can find high traces of it…even more than the B-Vitamins. So if you know anyone who is low in folate/folic acid, tell them to take Wheat Germ.

A: BANANAS.  Bananas are also very good for anxiety and if you happen to have a deficiency in some of the minerals found in bananas, this too can cause anxiety. 
Some of these minerals are: 
1. Vitamin B-6
2. Carbohydrates
3. Potassium AND
4. Magnesium

*Any deficiency in these can cause Anxiety (go to Vol. 2, pg. 34. Also, show a chart of the banana on page 70)

***You can go to your Doctor and say I would like a Vitamin Profile or Vitamin Panel and say you would like this done so I may see the levels of the different Vitamins and Minerals in my body...Cause some suffer from an emotional disorder, and it just may be due to a deficiency of these crucial minerals.

THINGS TO STAY AWAY FROM IF YOU HAVE ANXIETY
1.  Anything that is a stimulant or stimulating to the system:

a. Caffeine is one of the main items we need to stay away from, especially if one suffers from anxiety

b. Vinegar

c. Meat

d. Cigarettes

e. Alcohol

f.  Spices

In graduate school, the students are taught that Bulimia has to do with being in a dysfunctional family, and the mother is too controlling, so the person gains control by eating as much as they want and then throwing up afterwards...But even in this book, they tell you what to eat for Bulimia...WHOLE GRAINS, SALAD, FRUIT...All these things can help with those who have Bulimia...And the students are not taught the connection between food and these disorders.

In many cases, things going on with the brain have to do with, certain foods items need to be increased.This whole Volume (Volume 2) deals with which foods to eat for which system of the body...For example, on pages 40-51, there is a whole section as to which foods to eat that help the Nervous System.

IT TALKS ABOUT FOOD FOR:
   1. Anxiety
   2. Stress
   3. Alzheimer's
   4. Hyperactivity (ADHD)

***If you have kids that are hyperactive, you need to INCREASE THEIR VITAMIN B levels and DECREASE THEIR SUGAR.

There was a lady whose child was about to be put on Ritalin, and Dr. Parks put her on a program...she said no cartoon and no video games...all they can watch are nature videos and go out in nature...In 2 months time, the Hyperactivity was gone.

We may not understand many of the diseases of the mind, but just apply the laws of health and you will see healing happen.

FOR THOSE SUFFERING FROM INSOMNIA, THEY NEED TO BE EATING MORE:
   1.  Oats
   2.  Honey
   3.  Lettuce
   4.  Good Carbohydrates...All of those are foods that will help calm a person down so they can get to sleep

better...

WHAT ARE SOME FOODS THAT HURT THE MIND:

1. Stimulants
   

2. Caffeine (What's a common food that many SDA's like to eat that has caffeine? CHOCOLATE...If you suffer from anxiety or insomnia, you need to stay away from Chocolate with a 10 foot pole because that will keep you stimulated.

   

3.  Also...HAMBURGER AND FRIES CAN BE ADDICTIVE.

A HAMBURGER AND FRIES CAN BE JUST AS ADDICTIVE AS CIGARETTES AND EVEN DRUGS. Scientists at Wisconsin say high doses of fat and sugar in fast foods are processed in the same way as NICOTINE, HEROIN AND OTHER SUBSTANCES THAT BECOME HABIT FORMING...So when you eat a high fat diet continually, your brain processes it the same way that it does some of these things that we look down on people on for using.  So when people say they have a hard time getting off of these foods, they're not lying to us.

A high fat diet also makes the blood sluggish, so when it's flowing through your brain, your brain downs not function as well because the blood is sticky and thick, so we need to make sure that our diets are not high in fat.

DO YOU KNOW THAT CONDIMENTS HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE BRAIN?
1. Nutmeg, Vinegar, Pepper, Chili’s

***ANYTHING that stimulates the body makes the blood feverish.

Vinegar erodes the dental enamel on our teeth; it can cause anemia/; it can cause problems with gastritis...AND THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE TO SHOW THAT APPLE CIDER VINEGAR CAN HELP.

Vinegar can cause anemia, and anemia can lead to depression.

Research shows that if you are dealing with any kind of SEXUAL ADDICTION, you need to take out all spices: Nutmeg, Pepper, Cinnamon, Caffeine, Mace, etc.
The frontal lobe houses our will, it houses how impulsive we are and it houses our self-control...We are doing many things that decrease our self-control.

Q: WHAT ARE SOME THINGS WE ARE DOING TO OUR MIND THAT MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO CONTROL OURSELVES?
A: Television

Q: Have you heard of an EEG?

EEG stands for Electroencephalogram.  It MEASURES THE BRAIN WAVES. When they hook brain waves to people watching certain television programs, they find that the brain waves are similar to folks who are just passive, not paying attention, and daydreaming.They're called BADE ALPHA WAVES...and so, in that state, it's similar to the state of your mind when you're hypnotized.  If they were to put that same EEG on your brain while you were being hypnotized, it would have the same kind of wave. TELEVISION HAS A HYPNOTIC EFFECT.

Q: WHAT DOES THE PROPHET SAY ABOUT HYPNOTISM?
When dealing with anyone with an addiction, they need to be on a Television fast.
TELEVISION DOES NOT DEVELOP THE FRONTAL LOBE, ESPECIALLY ENTERTAINMENT TV.

The World is starting to say well The Bible says already “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes.” (Psalms 101:3)

When dealing with young people who are having problems, the parents need to be told, which is the most difficult thing, “take your child off of entertainment TV”.  A fight ensues in the home, but if they're successful, they'll see a difference, because entertainment TV is not only about the content of what they are watching, but they're not exercising their brain.

To show you how much violence and all of that can affect the brain, in Loma Linda, they had a gang member come in, and for some reason, they were prodding this gang member's brain, for some reason.  The people were prodding the frontal lobe, and the gang member couldn't even feel it. You know what that means? The frontal lobe was not only numb in terms of mentally, but actually physically, that frontal lobe was numb.  He couldn't feel anything. And if the frontal lobe is there to do all of these activities, and it's numb, that's why it's easy for them to come up and go “pop” with a gun.

Q:  YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE NUMBS THAT FRONTAL LOBE?

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...When they're driving down the streets and you hear those heavy beats? That BOOM, BOOM, BOOM IMPACTS THE FRONTAL LOBE IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.  So when dealing with young people on Ritalin, have the parents play classical music.  That exercises the frontal lobe.  Research has shown that.

Yoga, False Arts, and Eastern Mysticism

BIBLE:

1 Timothy 4:1 – Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

The Bible says to bring every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ.

 2 Corinthians 10:5 – Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

1 John 4:1 – Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Leviticus 20:6 - And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.

Deuteronomy 18:9-14 – When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. FOR ALL THAT DO THESE THINGS ARE AN ABOMINATION UNTO THE LORD: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

Why Christians Should Avoid Yoga

The problem with Yoga is that it has entirely pagan origins, and it is still riddled with verbiage and ideas that propagate pagan practices/Eastern religious thought. It was created by, practiced by, and propagated by mostly Hindus and Buddhists, and it has direct spiritual applications for today.

The goal of the stretches, exercises, and mental techniques of yoga is to connect you with their false view of “god” or “energy,”or to discover that you are really god (“god is everything”). This is the whole agenda behind these false religions–to make people work for perfection or salvation, or to get people’s focus off the true God and back on themselves (or another false god or belief system).

The word “yoga” literally means “to join” or “to unite,” and it is connected with a sense of “being” or “deity,” which reflects the Hindu or Buddhist version of God referred to as “Brahman.” This “Brahman” is completely contrary to what the Bible teaches about the nature of God. Furthermore, the intention of yoga has remained unchanged even today. While some people think they are doing harmless exercises, this exact practice is still being done with the expectation of “healings,” “spiritual awareness,” and/or “contact” with this mystical force.

Key Points to Remember About Yoga

• The word “yoga” literally means “to unite” or “to join,” and it’s referring to a false god concept. Can Christians practice “joining to a false god?” For a Christian to say, “I practice yoga,” is to literally say, “I practice uniting with Brahman.”

• Yoga was started by Eastern religions, which all are false religions according to God’s word. Yoga remains strongly connected to these practices today. Any Buddhist I’ve ever met does these things.
• Yoga contains words, thoughts, and ideas in its various teachings, books, and videos, which are contrary to what God says about the world and nature of humanity.
• Most yoga instructors practice Buddhism, and they begin coaching people on these philosophies while explaining how to meditate or stretch. Some yoga places offer books and literature to lead people into a Buddhist/Hindu philosophy on life.
• While yoga may provide minimal health benefits, yoga practitioners often make exaggerated claims, suggesting that yoga can treat heart disease, cancer, anxiety, depression, and a multitude of disorders. Many of these claims have been scientifically proven false.
• Most Buddhists/Hindus do not like the teachings of Christianity (especially sin, nature, eternal life, and resurrection).

DEFINITION OF YOGA:

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/yoga

YOGA IS FROM THE THEOSOPHY TEACHINGS WHICH THE PROPHET SAYS WE ARE TO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEOSOPHY

“The warnings of the word of God regarding the perils surrounding the Christian church belong to us today. As in the days of the apostles men tried by tradition and philosophy to destroy faith in the Scriptures, so today, by the pleasing sentiments of higher criticism, evolution, spiritualism, theosophy, and pantheism, the enemy of righteousness is seeking to lead souls into forbidden paths...” {AA 474.1}

Why Not Juicing?

QUESTION: What is a good juice for cleansing the body?

 
I don't recommend juicing, especially vegetable juice because coarse veggies are not to be taken into the system raw...listen to what the Spirit of Prophecy says about the way to cleanse the body.

ANSWER: You want to know what is best for cleansing the body?  Yes.

• “Christ's remedies cleanse the system...” {2SM 288.3}
  

 
WHAT ARE HIS REMEDIES?
“Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water, trust in divine power--these are the true remedies.”   (MH 127.2) (1905)
 
WE ARE ALSO TOLD:
“…Water is the best liquid possible to cleanse the tissues.” {CD 421.3}

Note: We cannot improve on that which Christ has given us.
 
WE ARE COUNSELED NOT TO TAKE OUR FOOD IN A LIQUID STATE
“Taken in a liquid state, your food would not give healthful vigor or tone to the system. But when you change this habit, and eat more solids and less liquids, your stomach will feel disturbed. Notwithstanding this, you should not yield the point; you should educate your stomach to bear a more solid diet.” {CD 105.1}

• Fill out a lifestyle assessment form
• Fast a day or two
• Do the 2 month program
• Take frequent warm baths and whatever water treatment recommended for the condition
• Include herbs in your program that clean the blood
• THE BEST LIQUID FOR CLEANSING THE BODY = WATER   {CD 421.3}
• The only juice recommended by the prophet and Bible is FRUIT JUICE and that is only for special occasions weddings; stomach problems; hot weather, etc.

OK HOW ABOUT CARROT JUICE?
LET ME ASK YOU 2 QUESTIONS:
ARE CARROTS A FRUIT OR VEGGIE?

• Veggie

Can you find anywhere in the Bible or Spirit of Prophecy where they drank vegetable juice? Remember, anything we do, we want our findings from the Bible & SOP, and not man's wisdom...
 
QUESTION: Is carrot a soft or coarse (hard) vegetable?
ANSWER: Hard, coarse veggie
 
LISTEN TO THIS FROM THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS:
“...All who believe that the Lord has spoken through Sister White, and has given her a message, will be safe from the many delusions that will come in these last days.”  --Letter 50, 1906 - {3SM 83.5}
 
DO YOU BELIEVE IN SISTER WHITE? (I know you do, but I'm just getting you to think here.)

• We have brought in many delusions in our health message because we don't follow the counsel given to us on health from the prophet.

REMEMBER, carrots are a “COARSE (hard) VEGETABLE” (hard)
 
QUOTE:
“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.”  {Ed 204.3}
 
OKAY, DID YOU SEE WHERE SISTER WHITE SAID WE SHOULD KNOW WHAT FOODS ARE DEFICIENT IN MINERALS (ELEMENTS)? Yes or No?

• Did you see how she listed CONDIMENTS, TEA, COFFEE, SPICES, etc.?  YES OR NO?
• But did you also see how she listed COARSE VEGETABLES (hard)?  YES OR NO 

LET ME TELL YOU WHY COARSE VEGETABLES ARE LISTED AS DEFICIENT IN MINERALS
Because they have to be cooked in order for an enzyme to be broken down. Without cooking, iodine is stolen from the body causing all types of problems, including hypothyroidism. Medical science is saying this today. Other minerals are stolen as well.
 
QUESTION: Are carrots cooked or raw in juicing?
ANSWER: Raw
The reason carrot juicing seems good is because although the raw juice is not good, when people juice, they are on a fast with no oil, sugar, refined foods, so they are going to see benefits, but it's not really from the raw carrots. It's from the fasting they are doing. Do you know what Sister White says is the best fasts when we are sick?
 
WHAT IS THE BEST FAST WHEN SICK?
“Intemperate eating is often the cause of sickness, and what nature most needs is to be relieved of the undue burden that has been placed upon her. In many cases of sickness, the very best remedy is for the patient to fast for a meal or two…A fruit diet for a few days has often brought great relief to brain workers. Many times a short period of entire abstinence from food, followed by simple, moderate eating, has led to recovery through nature's own recuperative effort. An abstemious diet for a month or two would convince many sufferers that the path of self-denial is the path to health.” {CD 189.3} (more on fasting in the future) Also see: 7T 134.2
 
SHE MENTIONS 3 TYPES OF FASTING THERE FOR DISEASE:
Please list what they are and tell me if she says anything about juicing vegetables.

• Fast for a Meal or Two
• Fruit
• Short Periods of Entire Abstinence From Food (7T 134.2) Fast for a meal or two; fruit fast for a couple of days; Entire absence of food for a couple of days.
  

IN THE VERY LAST SENTENCE OF THAT QUOTE, WHAT TYPE OF DIET DID SHE SAY PEOPLE WOULD SEE HEALTH IN 1 TO 2 MONTHS?  An Abstemious diet

• Now did she mention anything about juicing veggies? NO

Now this is the key...An abstemious diet...most people want to juice, take herbs, etc., but they don't want to do an abstemious diet which will bring healing faster than anything else.
 
QUESTION: Do you know what an abstemious diet is according to the prophet?
WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT AN ABSTEMIOUS DIET IS IF IT BRINGS HEALING IN 1 TO 2 MONTHS DON'T WE?

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE WHAT THE PROPHET SAYS AN ABSTEMIOUS DIET IS?
I’m going to read a quote and then ask you to tell me all she says is included to be considered an abstemious diet.
“I advise you to make your diet abstemious. 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...
  
• eat much more sparingly, and
  
• eat simple food, which does
  
• not require heavy seasoning. Your animal passions should be starved, not pampered ...The simpler your diet, the better it will be for you.” {CD 102.1-2}
  

NOW PLEASE LIST THE 4 THINGS THAT MAKE A DIET ABSTEMIOUS
   1. Guard the door of stomach, allowing nothing that would be an enemy of your health
   2. Eat sparingly
   3. Eat Simple food
   4. No heavy seasoning
 
HERE ARE THE ANSWERS

• NOTHING HARMFUL PASSING THE LIPS (like condiments (store bought ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce), anything with vinegar, MSG (Braggs and soy sauce), hot peppers, spices, white products, additives, food coloring, etc.) baking soda, baking powder, sugar, refined salt, etc.
• EAT MUCH MORE SPARINGLY (not eating more than 3 or 4 dishes at or 2 to 3 kinds of food at one meal...I will give you the quotes for this in a bit...not piling on the food and going back for 2nds, 3rds, 4ths...she says we should fill our plate once and not too much.
• EAT SIMPLE FOOD/SIMPLE DIET (fruit, vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds)
• FOOD THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE A LOT OF SEASONING (veggies don't need a lot of salt...but veggie meats require a lot of seasoning... as do other things)
  

 
NOW HOW MANY OF US CAN SAY WE REALLY EAT LIKE THAT?

• Beans are good, and fruit, salads that are not mixed with fruit or fruit dressings.

GETTING BACK THE JUICING....Is JUICING CARROTS, FOOD IN A LIQUID STATE?

• Q: IS CARROT JUICE FOOD IN A LIQUID STATE?
• A: Yes, it is food in liquid state.

PLEASE READ WHAT SHE SAYS HAPPENS WHEN WE TAKE OUR FOOD IN A LIQUID STATE (I am referring to vegetable juice, not fruit...they drank a little fruit juice for medicine and weddings, no more than 6 oz.)
“So much liquid taken into the stomach was not healthful, and that all who subsisted on such a diet placed a great tax upon the kidneys, and so much watery substance debilitated the stomach.” {CD 105.2}
 
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BODY? IS THIS A GOOD OR BAD THING?
She was referring to soup and coffee in this quote, but she says any liquid diet is bad.
 
PLEASE LIST THE 2 MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT RESULT FROM TAKING FOOD IN A LIQUID STATE:

1. It debilitates the stomach (which is BAD)
2. Puts a tax upon kidneys (Kidney problems)
   

 
IS THAT GOOD OR BAD?

• A Bad thing

GUESS WHICH 3 FOOD ITEMS SHE TELLS US TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO EAT MORE THAN ANY OTHER FOOD ITEMS?
“To eat largely of porridge would not ensure health to the digestive organs; for it is too much like liquid.
“Encourage the eating of

• FRUIT and
• VEGETABLES and
• BREAD (CD 314.5; YI May 31, 1894, par. 7)
  

LIST THE 3 FOODS SHE SAYS WE ARE TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO EAT INSTEAD OF A LIQUID DIET:

• Fruits, vegetables, and bread

Bread is from grain, but specifically whole grain bread, not refined, not white or unbleached flour bread, but different whole grains mixed together.
 
So, we are to do the air, water, sunshine, exercise, trust in God, rest to cleanse the system, along with good
herbs, an abstemious diet, and that's about it. No hard at all water should be inside and out. Not for cooking, cleaning, bathing, washing hands, etc. {CD 419.2/.4}                                                                                                               
QUESTION: WHAT WAS THE RECOVERY PERCENTAGE RATE IN SISTER WHITE’S DAY FOR HEALING; AND DID THEY USE VEGETABLE JUICE TO GET THAT PERCENTAGE?
The answer is at the end of the quote:
 
“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 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.” {MM 223.4}
 
Note: 9 out of 10 = 90%...
Is that a huge percentage rate for those whose doctors said they have no chance of living? Absolutely it is!!!
 
THE LIST OF THINGS LISTED ABOVE TO DO: 

• Simple Remedies
• Pure Air
• A Knowledge of How to Breathe Properly
• Pure Water (soft)
• How to Apply Water (water treatments/hydrotherapy)
• Plenty of Sunshine (allowing it in the home, and knowing how to benefit from it)
• How to EAT Healthfully
• How to DRESS Healthfully

The typical 8 laws that most of our people teach do not include the dress message and we MUST include this for healing.
 
DID SHE MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT JUICING VEGGIES ANYWHERE?

• We are to eat the food, not juice it;
• But we can have fruit juice on occasion and lemon juice we can have every day.

IF YOU WANT TO CLEANSE/DETOXIFY YOUR BODY, DO THE FOLLOWING:

• Fast a meal or two or a day or two
• Do the 2 month program (I can send that to you)
  
• Make an herbal formula (a tea with 3 to 4 herbs only that will cleanse your blood and liver)
  
• Soak in warm water a couple of times a week
  
• Do charcoal poultice over your liver to detoxify it
  
• Eat strictly (abstemious diet)
  
• Sunshine, walking, dress right (with leggings, long sleeves, no low-cut tops, no high heels, warm in winter and thin natural clothing in summer,) rest, trust in God, water,
  
• Deep breathing exercises the right way. The 2-month program explains how and when to do it.                  
  

 
ARE THESE MY WORDS OR JESUS' WORDS GIVEN TO THE PROPHET?

• Jesus’ words

Note: Some may think we’re crazy for not supporting juicing, but I want to share one last quote with you how we all have to speak the same things. It's straight from the Spirit of Prophecy. And if anyone tries to teach health to you, be sure they back it up with Spirit of Prophecy from several quotes and not just one.

ACCORDING TO THIS QUOTE, GOD'S PEOPLE TO SPEAK DIFFERENT OR THE SAME THINGS WHEN TEACHING HIS TRUTH WHETHER IT BE HEALTH OR SOMETHING ELSE?
“Honest souls will see the straight chain of present truth. They will see its harmonious connections, link after link uniting into a great whole, and will lay hold upon it. The present truth (which includes the health message – 6t 327.1) is not difficult to be understood, and the people whom God is leading will be united upon this broad, firm platform. He will not use individuals of different faith, opinions, and views, to scatter and divide. Heaven and holy angels are working to unite, to bring into the unity of the faith, into the one body…Jesus designed that the faith of His people should be one. If one goes forth preaching one thing, and another differing with him preaches something else, how can those who believe through their word be one? There will be difference of sentiments.”  {1T 326.2}

• QUESTION: Are God's people to speak different things or the same things when teaching health?
  
• QUESTION: Should one say it's okay to juice veggies and another say it's not?
  
• QUESTION: How do we know what is right and what is wrong?
  
• ANSWER: We should know by BIBLE and SOP
  

“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 391.1/390.3}
 
HOW ARE WE TO KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS NOT REGARDING ALL THE THINGS BEING BROUGHT INTO OUR HEALTH MESSAGE?

• Isaiah 8:20 (See Ev 259.2 and 3SM 32.2-.3)
  

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

QUESTION:  WHERE DID THE EATING AND JUICING OF RAW VEGETABLES COME FROM?
ANSWER: “A Scotchman is launching a new form of vegetarianism in Paris. Its members eat and drink
nothing but uncooked vegetable foods and natural liquids. {June 21, 1894 EJW, PTUK 398.13}  1894
***Found in the pioneer section of the CD ROM***
 
QUESTION:  What have we been counseled about getting new light from the world?
ANSWER: “The different parties of professed Advent believers (referring to Sunday keepers who are waiting
for the 2^nd coming of Jesus) have each a little truth, but God has given all these truths to His children who
are being prepared for the day of God...if God has any new light to communicate, he will let his chosen and beloved understand it, without their going to have their minds enlightened by hearing those who are in darkness and error.”  {EW 124.2}
 
Note: It was a Scotchman in Paris who came up with the raw vegetable juicing. He was not a man of the
faith and it’s not known if he was a professor of Jesus.
 
QUESTION: Since we are told that Sunday keeping Adventists are in darkness and don’t have all the light
(Jesus does have some of his people here, but we are referring to the churches), and that we need not go to
Anyone in darkness, that if God has any new light, He will reveal it to us without us having to go to those in
darkness, why then are SDAs adopting this into their healing program?  (See Acts 10:6; Acts 15:7; Acts 11:14)
 
We cannot improve on Christ’s method, for he is the medical missionary of all medical missionaries.
 
“…The Lord has marked out a way in which his people are to carry forward a work of physical healing…”
{MM 14.4}   1904
 
“…The methods of treating the sick were plainly revealed to me…” {20MR 373.2}
 
“I took the precious bible and surrounded it with the several testimonies for the church, given for the
people of God…the counsel that they desire can be found here…God has been pleased to give you line upon
line and precept upon precept…” {2T 605.1}
 
Note: Everything God’s people need for the treatment of the sick has been given to us in our books.  We
need not go to anyone else.  All we need to do is read our own Spirit of Prophecy Health books.

what we are counseled to do.
 
QUESTION:  What about those who have been benefited by vegetable juicing?
ANSWER:  It is true many have been benefited, and this is because they are on a fast where there is no
flesh food, animal products, refined items, fried food etc. However, the drawbacks outweigh the
Benefits (See: LLM 18.5-19 (top of page); CD 105.1)
