We Are Not To Sleep In After Sunrise

This is why we see Sister White up at 3am and 4am.

“Spent one or two hours in bed after daylight, because I was disinclined to rise and begin the day's duties. Spent several hours in crocheting. Devoted the day to making ruffles to ornament my children's dresses. They must look like other people, or I shall have no influence. Passed this afternoon in entertaining visitors. The name of Jesus was not mentioned. We talked of the wrong course of our brethren and sisters, of our worldly affairs, and our perplexities and trials." are such persons honoring God in their lives? Is their light shining...?”  {RH, May 1, 1883 par. 1}

“There are young men and young women who are very much opposed to order and discipline. They pay no heed to rules for rising and retiring at regular hours, but burn the midnight oil, and then lie in bed in the morning for one or two hours after daylight…” {YI, September 7, 1893 par. 4}

“At two in the morning it was daylight. The sun arose at three…” {3MR 396.1}

Note: So, daylight is before the sun rises…And to be in bed 1 hour after daylight means being in the bed till sunrise, which the prophet says is a no-no. Being in bed 2 hours after daylight means being in bed 1 hour after sunrise.

HERE IS A QUOTE WHEN “DAYLIGHT” IS REFERRED TO WHEN THE SUN IS NOT RISEN:
“The sun sets about half after nine, and at half past ten we can write by daylight…” (3MR 397.2)
Note: DAYLIGHT = Dawn; DAWN = Before Sunrise

Water Calculation For Drinking

Drinking water is 1/2 your weight in ounces of what your normal weight is. (not overweight pounds) so If you weigh 140 pounds then you should drink 70 ounces of water daily... PLUS 16 oz. (with 1-2 T fresh lemon juice) the FIRST hour awake to replace what was lost while sleeping.

HOW TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH WATER A PERSON IS TO DRINK

A woman weighs 200#, but should weigh 124. She wakes up at 6 am and goes to bed at 10.

STEPS ON HOW TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH WATER TO DRINK A DAY

1. Divide 124 by 2 = 62.

2. Subtract 124 from 200 = 76.

3. Take the 76 and divide that by 4 = 19.

4.  Now you add the 62 and 19 which = 81.  This would be your total ounces.

5. Don't forget they should be drinking 16 oz. from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m.

6. From 7 am to 9 p.m. = 14 hours. Divide your total 81 oz. by 14 which = 5.78, which could be rounded off to 6 oz. They would drink 6 oz. every hour.

7. 6 oz. = 3/4 of a measuring cup.  Have them fill this up, pour into a water bottle, and then mark the line level with a sharpie so they will know to fill up to this line every hour.  HAVE THEM SET A TIMER FOR EVERY HOUR. 

Note: We have people stop their water intake 1 hour before bed and 1 hour after they wake up, because they have to drink their initial 16 oz. of water the first hour. THIS IS WHY WE ARE DIVIDING 14 HOURS AND NOT 16 HOURS.

Water and Bathing

“…Water treatments are not appreciated as they should be, and to apply them skillfully requires work that many are unwilling to perform. But none should feel excused for ignorance or indifference on this subject…all should become intelligent in its use…” {MH 237.2}

“…Water treatments, wisely and skillfully given...”  {MM 227.1}

“…Let diligent study be united with careful treatments…” {MM 227.2}

INCORRECT WAYS OF BATHING:

• “Invalids have frequently used water injudiciously, especially if they are extremists.

• They may not have a correct knowledge of the use of water.

• They may have used the water too warm, and not reduced the bath sufficiently with cold, to tone up the pores of the skin, which has a debilitating influence upon the system, or

• They may have used the water too cold, and driven the blood from the surface to the internal organs, producing congestion.

• They may have exposed themselves to cold air immediately after bathing. I have known persons to take cold, from which they have never recovered, by

• Sitting in a room without a fire and becoming thoroughly chilled immediately after taking a bath. Many are not benefited by taking baths, because

• They do not practice lying down after a bath and giving nature time to react.

• If they cannot rest at least half an hour after a bath, they should exercise by walking or working to keep from a sense of chilliness, in order for reaction.

“Those who have taken baths carelessly, and have suffered in consequence, receive the impression that it was the bath which injured them, when it was their own injudicious management that produced the bad results.”  {HR, June 1, 1872 par. 15}

She mentions a lot about "warm, cold, and cool" baths.

Hot baths may be used at times as well, but they must have cold rags around their heads, necks, drink water, and not be in for a long time.

Basel, March 30.

Our stay at Geneva was short as A SEVERE COLD CAME UPON ME, making it necessary for me in order to avoid exposure to return to Basel at once.

On my birthday I went to the Sanitarium where I have two rooms to myself, Sarah a room by herself, and W. C. White two rooms for himself. We have every attention and convenience. I HAVE TAKEN BATHS HOT and THEN TONED UP WITH COLD WATER.” 16LtMs, Lt 227, 1901, par. 10

TOOK TWO VERY HOT BATHS in Geneva at the bathhouse which was just across the road from Brother Bourdeau's. I am improving now. Geneva is considered the most wealthy and beautiful place in Switzerland. We saw Mount Blanc from here, rising grand and cold among the mountains. From the one mountain alone water comes from the eternal snows enough to keep or feed the whole Mediterranean. I shall visit these places all again if the Lord will.”  4LtMs, Lt 96, 1886, par. 5

Walking Verses Running

First of all, we are counseled that WALKING = THE BEST EXERCISE. Counsels on Health, Page 200

Secondly, running produces what is called a “Runner's Heart (enlarged heart)” and “shin splints, arthritis, etc.  We are to take care of the temple, not harm it.

WHEN YOU RUN, YOUR LUNGS FILL UP WITH BLOOD SO FAST THAT THEY CAN'T EMPTY FAST ENOUGH AND VESSELS CAN BURST AND A PERSON CAN DROP DEAD.

NOW, I'm not referring to the “fight or flight” situations that would require running to be necessary such as a dog chasing you or a person seeing their bus taking off, etc.

BUT TO DO THIS ON A REGULAR FOR EXERCISE IS A NO-NO. 

If we FOLLOW the TESTIMONY OF JESUS, His words, that the prophet wrote down, we would be blessed for the bible says, “...believe the prophets and so shall ye prosper.” (2 Chronicles 20:20/end of the verse)

“...The more nearly we come into harmony with God’s original plan, the more favorable will be our position to secure health of body and mind and soul.”  {AH 135.3}

“It is in the order of God that the physical as well as the mental powers shall be trained; but the character of the physical exercise taken should be in complete harmony with the lessons given by Christ to His disciples...”  {CT 281.1} 

CHRIST TOLD HIS DISCIPLES THE FOLLOWING:

“I MUST WALK TO DAY, AND TO MORROW, AND THE DAY FOLLOWING...”  (Luke 13:33)

Nowhere in the Bible do we see running or jogging as our examples...although Paul does refer to the worldly athletes who run for a prize, he's referring to how temperate they are when preparing for the competition. He's not saying that Christians should run.

Now we are to run in “fight or flight” situations.  If a dog is running after you, pray and run, etc.

And the verse that says “...They shall RUN and not be weary...” Is not saying Christians are to run, but if they do run, they won't be weary...think of the last days when you are being chased for your faith....you will run and if you live by the health message and have a relationship with Jesus, when you run, you won't be weary...Amen!!!

I’m now left with the question, “Is running or jogging a SIN, or is it simply not the most effective way to exercise?

We are counseled that we have many things to UNLEARN and much to LEARN AGAIN.

“...They will also have much to unlearn and much to learn again...” (EW 67.2)

And so we have to be careful in how we present things to others.

We are also counseled that the more closely we get to Jesus and follow his principles, the more we will be considered “FANATICS”.

“God’s servants must arm themselves with the mind of Christ. They must not expect to escape insult and misjudgment. They will be called ENTHUSIASTS AND FANATICS. But let them not become discouraged. God’s hand is on the wheel of His providence, guiding His work to the glory of His name.” {OFC 267.4} 

“...What if the sincere worker for God should be called a FANATIC? This is the name that those who have been truly devoted to God have ever been called upon to bear...” {RH March 14, 1893, par. 13}

“...They are far behind, and have ridiculed our people as fanatics upon health...” (Te 219.4)

Whenever we teach things to our people, always be sure to have articles to back it up so they can see it's not just the prophet who says this, although we should trust the prophet (for it is the words of Christ) whether there is an article or not

AS FAR AS RUNNING BEING A SIN OR NOT:

Anything that brings an unhealthy situation to the body is a sin. Any violation of God's health laws is the same as breaking the 10 Commandments. If we have been told that nothing can take the place of walking and there are health articles showing that running is actually harmful to the body, then why would we want to run/jog instead of walk?

NOW ONCE AGAIN, there are cases where running may be necessary.  That's not what's being referred to here.

However, I'm not going to go around and tell people that it's a sin to run for we have no “straight forward” quote that says so. BUT, I will weigh the evidence out and see that it is not the best and we are counseled to take care of our temples and if we don't, then we are willfully violating our body temples, which that in itself is a sin.

“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...”

It is as truly a sin to violate the laws of our being as it is to break the Ten Commandments. To do either is to break God’s laws...”  {CD 17.2-.3}

Vitamin D Supplement

We are not to be taking supplements daily on a regular basis, however, if someone is very sick and is treating something and needs to take some supplements for a short period here is a good test.

To see if the Vitamin is Fat soluble place the vitamin in 8-10 oz. of hot water and see if it dissolves. If it does NOT dissolve in 20 minutes it is NOT Fat Soluble and therefore not a good Vitamin.

Vitamin B12

QUESTIONS:

Is it true that B12 is only found in animal products? 

If so, does this mean those who are vegans, and plant-based can only get their B 12 mineral through supplement?

ANSWER: 

When we eat from the correct 4 food groups: Fruit, Vegetables, Nuts, Grains, our bodies are supplied with all the elements of nutrition necessary and the elements to make good blood. It is also found in the Aloe Vera plant.

“In order to know what are the best foods, we must study God's original plan for man's diet…grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables constitute the diet chosen for us by our creator.”  {CG 380.1}

“Grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables constitute the diet chosen for us by our creator. These foods prepared in as simple and natural a manner as possible, are the most healthful and nourishing. They impart a strength, a power of endurance, and a vigor of intellect...”  (MH 296.1)

“Grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables, in proper combination, contain all the elements of nutrition; and when properly prepared, they constitute the diet that best promotes both physical and mental strength.”  (Ed 204.3)

“The grains, with fruits, nuts, and vegetables, contain all the nutritive properties necessary to make good blood. These elements are not so well or so fully supplied by a flesh diet. Had the use of flesh been essential to health and strength, animal food would have been included in the diet appointed man in the beginning.”  (CD 396.1)

B12 is made when we eat from all 4 food groups. It is also found in your mouth when you wake up in the morning so do NOT brush your teeth. Drink water to rinse it back down into the body.

We are not deficient in anything when we eat the way God said to eat.

The problem is that most of our people do not eat from all 4 food groups each day and they eat more white products/simple carbs than anything else/and/or store-bought veggie meats which are horrible.
