MEDICAL SCIENCE:

What is honey?

Honey has been considered a wonderful healing agent for ages. It is a sweet and viscous fluid made by honey bees from the nectar of flowers. Honey comes in a variety of colors, from almost white down to darker colors such as amber, red, or brown. Honey is an amazing antibacterial substance which is comprised of sugars like glucose and fructose and minerals (like magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium chlorine, sulphur, iron and phosphate), vitamins (such as B1, B2, C, B6, B5, B3), trace elements (like copper, iodine, and zinc) as well as amino acids. The nutritional properties, color and flavor of honey are determined by the types of flowers the bees pollinate.

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

Honey’s Nutritional Profile

Honey is composed primarily of carbohydrates (natural sugars) and water, as well as trace enzymes, minerals, vitamins, and amino acids. Providing 17 grams of carbohydrates and 64 calories per tablespoon, honey is an all-natural sweetener without any added ingredients. Honey also contains a variety of flavonoids and phenolic acids, which act as antioxidants, scavenging and eliminating free radicals. Generally, darker honeys have higher antioxidant content than lighter honeys.

• Honey contains natural peroxide which is why it is so beneficial in healing.
• Honey was used as the antibiotic of choice as the healer for wounds during World War I and other Wars until penicillin was discovered.
• Honey's ability to produce hydrogen peroxide is one of the main reasons for its antibacterial activity, making it ideal for treating infected wounds.

The Health Message In The Most Holy Place

John 10:27 – “My sheep hear my voice...they follow me.”

“And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand…These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.”  (Revelation 14:1, 4)

WHERE IS CHRIST TODAY?

“...Jesus was finished in the holy place of the sanctuary in 1844. Then Jesus rose up and shut the door of the holy place, and opened the door into the most holy, and passed within the second veil, where He now stands by the ark, and where the faith of Israel now reaches.” {EW 42.1}

Psalms 77:13 – “Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary...”

Q: WHEN THE EARTHLY SANCTUARY WAS IN EXISTENCE, WHAT PIECE OF FURNITURE WAS IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE?

A: The Ark of the Covenant

Q: WHAT WAS INSIDE THE ARK OF THE COVENANT?

A: 1. The Ten Commandments (Hebrews 9:3-4)

     2. Golden Pot of Manna (Hebrews 9:3-4) (The manna was of coriander seed.)

     3. Aaron's Rod (Hebrews 9:3-4)

Q: WHAT DID AARON'S ROD DO?

A: It budded (Hebrews 9:4)

Q: WHAT DID IT BUD?

A: Almonds & Blossoms (Numbers 17:8)

Q: WHAT ARE BLOSSOMS?

A: Fruit (Genesis 40:10)

***So in the earthly Sanctuary, in the Ark of the Covenant, we see the Manna (grain), coriander (seed), almonds (nuts), and blossoms (fruit grain, seed, nuts and fruit).

Knowing that the earthly sanctuary was a pattern of the heavenly, let's now focus on the Heavenly Sanctuary.

Q: BESIDES THE 10 COMMANDMENTS, WHAT ELSE IS IN THE HEAVENLY ARK OF THE COVENANT?

A: “...In the ark, beneath where the angels’ wings were spread, was A GOLDEN POT OF MANNA OF A YELLOWISH CAST, and I saw a rod, which Jesus said was Aaron’s. I saw it bud, blossom and bear fruit… --and I saw two long golden rods on which hung silver wires, and on the wires most glorious grapes. One cluster was more than a man here can carry. And I saw Jesus step up and take of the manna, almonds, grapes and pomegranates, and bear them down to the city, and place them on the supper table.”  (Day Star, January 24, 1846, paragraph 1)

***So in the Heavenly Ark of the Covenant, besides the 10 commandments, we see Manna (grain...remember this is as of coriander (seed), Aaron's Rod (almonds + fruit) ...Grains, seeds, almonds and fruit.

Q: HOW MANY TIMES A YEAR DID THE HIGH PRIEST GO INTO THE MOST HOLY PLACE WHERE THE ARK OF THE COVENANT WAS LOCATED?

A: Once a year.

Q: WHAT WAS THIS DAY CALLED WHEN THE HIGH PRIEST WENT INTO THE MOST HOLY PLACE ONCE A YEAR?

A: The Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27)

Q: WHAT WERE THE PEOPLE TO DO ON THIS DAY?

A: “Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there shall be] A DAY OF ATONEMENT: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.” (Leviticus 23:27)

A: “Once a year, on the great Day of Atonement, the priest entered the most holy place for the cleansing of the sanctuary...every man was required to afflict his soul while this work of atonement was going forward. All business was to be laid aside and the whole congregation of Israel were to spend the day in solemn humiliation before God, with prayer, FASTING, and deep searching of heart.” {GC 419.1, 3}

Q: IF WE ARE NOW IN THE ANTI-TYPICAL DAY OF ATONEMENT, WHAT IS THE FAST THAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE TODAY?

A: “The true fasting which should be recommended to all, is abstinence from every stimulating kind of food, and the proper use of wholesome, SIMPLE FOOD, which God has provided in abundance.”  {CD 90.1}

So, the antitypical fast that WE SHOULD BE doing during this antitypical Day of Atonement is to TRULY FOLLOW OUR HEALTH MESSAGE.

“The Creator of man has arranged the living machinery of our bodies. Every function is wonderfully and wisely made. And God has pledged Himself to keep this human machinery in healthful action if the human agent will obey His laws and cooperate with God. Every law governing the human machinery is to be considered just as truly divine in origin, in character, and in importance as the word of God. Every careless, inattentive action, any abuse put upon the Lord's wonderful mechanism by disregarding his specified laws in the human habitation, is a violation of God's law. We may behold and admire the work of God in the natural world, but the human habitation is the most wonderful.”  {MM 221.2}

“The eating of food that does not make good blood is working against the laws of our physical organism, and is a violation of the law of God. The cause produces the effect. Suffering, disease, and death are the sure penalty of indulgence.” -- Letter 123, 1899. {Ev 265.4}

“The physical life is to be carefully preserved and developed that through humanity the divine nature may be revealed in its fullness...”  {COL 348.1}

What To Do For Gallstones

BIBLE:

Jeremiah 30:17 – “...I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds...” 

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

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

SOP:

“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)

MEDICAL SCIENCE:

What are Gallstones?

The formation of gallstones is called cholelithiasis. Gallstones are formed from bile, a brown digestive fluid produced by the liver; they are 80% cholesterol and 20% bile. They do not look like regular stones. They are smooth, soft, and gelatinous. They feel like dense fat. They may form in the gallbladder or in the bile ducts of the liver.  When they block the exits of the liver or gallbladder, they usually produce nausea, vomiting, and pain usually occurs in the upper right abdomen.

WHAT CAUSES GALLSTONES?

Animal fat tends to form gallstones. Processed food, fried, sugared, spicy, or junk food may cause the formation of gallstones. Eating too much sugar inflames the gallbladder ducts. Do not use alcohol, caffeine, or tobacco. Also, eating eggs greatly increases the likelihood of stone formation due to the cholesterol content of this food item.  A diet low in vitamin C, refined carbohydrates, and low fiber also causes stone formation.

TO RELIEVE PAIN:

Give a 15 minute hot fomentation over the gallbladder area, followed by an ice rub. Repeat this process 3 times.  This will reduce the swelling, inflammation, and pain. ALSO, take some castor oil and heat it up a bit in a small sauce pan. Get a wash cloth and saturate this cloth with the oil (may add activated charcoal to the oil) then when oil is warm to touch, apply over the painful area and keep on for several hours. Do morning and evening if possible.

When an attack comes on, you can get peppermint, spearmint, and catnip herbs and make a tea by taking 1 t. of each placing in a coffee mug and covering with boiling water. Steep for 15 minutes then drink.

Also, every evening before bed, put 2 cups of Epsom salt + 1 cup of baking soda into a very warm bathtub of water and soak in this for 30-40 minutes. This will help ease the pain, bring magnesium into the blood stream and remove toxins from the body at the same time.  This helps people sleep very well at night, especially when they are in pain or are feeling uneasy.

TO BREAK DOWN STONES DO THE FOLLOWING:

GALL BLADDER CLEANSE FROM FIRST DAY:

8 am –   8 oz. Fresh Apple Juice

10 am – 16 oz. Fresh Apple Juice

12 pm – 16 oz. Fresh Apple Juice

2 pm – 16 oz. Fresh Apple Juice

4 pm – 16 oz. Fresh Apple Juice

6 pm – 16 oz. Fresh Apple Juice

SECOND DAY: SAME AS FIRST DAY

At bed time of second day, take 4 oz. (½ cup) of olive oil. Use same amount of freshly squeezed lemon juice (½ cup) to wash it down. Go to bed and rub the right side of the abdomen in a circular motion. It should start to work in the early morning. This helps to dissolve the stagnant bile and liquefies through the malic acid of the apple juice. The oil moves the residue. In the morning you should pass from your bowels green pellets resembling peas, they may vary in size and texture depending upon the condition of your liver and gall bladder.

***What you can also do on the 2nd day prior to the oil & lemon drink is take 1 tsp. of Epsom salt in 1 cup of warm water at 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm and then do the olive oil and lemon juice at 10:00 pm.

REMEDY #2:

GALLSTONE REMOVAL, NATURALLY

It has worked for many. If it works for you please pass on the good news. Chiu Nan is not charging for it, so we should make it free for everyone. Your reward is when someone, through your word of mouth, benefits from the regime. Gallstones may not be everyone’s concern. But they should be because we all have them. Moreover, gallstones may lead to cancer. “Cancer is never the first illness,” Chui Nan points out. “Usually, there are lot of other problems leading to cancer.

In my research in China, I came across some materials which say that people with cancer usually have stones. We all have gallstones. It’s a matter of big or small, many or few.

One of the symptoms of gallstones is a feeling of being bloated after a heavy meal. You feel like you can’t digest the food. If it gets more serious, you feel pain in the liver area.” So if you think you have gallstones, Chiu Nan offers the following method to remove them naturally. The treatment is also good for those with a weak liver, because the liver and gallbladder are closely linked.

REGIMEN:
1. For the first five days, take four glasses of apple juice every day. Or eat four or five apples, whichever you prefer. Apple juice softens the gallstones. During the five days, eat normally.

2. On the sixth day, take no dinner.

3. At 6 PM, take a teaspoon of Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) with a glass of warm water.

4. At 8 PM, repeat the same. Magnesium sulphate opens the gallbladder ducts.

5. At 10 PM, take half cup olive oil (or sesame oil) with half cup fresh lemon juice. Mix it well and drink it. The oil lubricates the stones to ease their passage.

Note: 1 cup = 240ml, 1 cup lemon juice = 3 large juicy lemons (approx.)

Next morning, you will find green stones in your stools. “Usually they float,” Chiu Nan notes. “You might want to count them. I have had people who pass 40, 50, or up to 100 stones. Very many.”

“Even if you don’t have any symptoms of gallstones, you still might have some. It’s always good to give your gall bladder a clean-up now and then.

OR:

Drink 3 oz. (6 T.) grapefruit juice chased with 1 oz. (2 T.) olive oil every hour until sickly. Then give enema OR have person drink 3 T. of castor oil.

HERBS THAT ARE GREAT FOR THE GALLBLADDER:

Turmeric – prevents and treats gallstones

Chamomile & dandelion – helps dissolve gallstones

Linden leaves (also known as tilo) – improves functioning of the gall bladder

Elecampane – invigorates digestive, hepatic (liver), and bile functions

Dodder – promotes emptying of the gall bladder

Dandelion – increases bile production and promotes its emptying

Quasia – promotes gall bladder functioning

St. Johnswort – promotes gall bladder functioning

GOOD TO KNOW:

The majority of living beings synthesize their own vitamin C. Only a few, including humans, must take it in with their food. The human body's overwhelming need for vitamin C can only be naturally met by eating FRESH FRUIT. Although some vegetables also contain vitamin C, ITS PRIMARY DIETARY SOURCE IS FRUIT.

FRUIT & VEGGIES are a primary source of phytochemicals and antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

Sources:  For Vitamin A eat dark-green, orange or yellow vegetables and fruit. For Vitamin C, red bell peppers and citrus fruit are recommended.

NEVER EAT FRUIT & VEGETABLES AT THE SAME MEAL – “If we would preserve the best health, we should avoid eating vegetables and fruit at the same meal. Have fruit at one meal, and vegetables at the next.”  (CD 394-395)

WHY NOT?

“Fruit and vegetables taken at one meal produce acidity of the stomach; then impurity of the blood results, and the mind is not clear because the digestion is imperfect.”  (CD112-113)

WHEN MIXING FRUIT WITH VEGETABLES, THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS WITHIN THE BODY:

• Blood made impure
• Fermentation
• Imperfect digestion (CD 113)
• Stomach acidity (CD 113)
• Stomach distressed by (CD 395)
• The brain confused by (CD 395)
