Can be kept in Ziploc and frozen for later use.)
• *Antibiotic Salve— use herbal if available, for wound care
• *B&W ointment— (B&W stands for Burns & Wounds) This ointment is part of a burn treatment protocol developed by an Amish man named John W. Keim. It is “a soothing salve used as an aid for cuts, burns, sunburns, bruises and tissue injuries.” {Ingredients: Honey, Lanolin, Olive Oil, Wheat Germ oil, Marshmallow root, Aloe Vera Gel, Wormwood, Comfrey Root, White Oak Bark, Lobelia Inflata, Vegetable Glycerin, Bees Wax, Myrrh.} I personally know of two testimonials of people with severe burns who have had remarkably quick relief from pain and amazing recoveries from their injuries by using this protocol and salve. Amish laymen do give workshops in their use of this remedy and their burn protocol, and although I have not yet been able to attend one I hope to soon. The only address I have available for this product and more information is (Wholesome Specialties, 206 Graves Rd, Mills, PA 16937) There is also a book that explains their method, entitled Burn Aid by John W. Keim, copyright 2006. There is no ISBN# for this book, but the address in the back is: (The School of Self-Applied Prevention, PO Box 269, Middleburg, OH 43319) 

REFERENCE BOOK(S) TO CARRY

• Study the Medical Missionary Training lecture notes, your own notes, the reading assignments and begin a small note book (or collection of 4x6 index cards with hole punched in one corner and all attached by a metal ring) Make notes of specific remedies, hydrotherapy treatments, etc., that you can carry with you and refer to.
• I also carry a smallish “herbal” in the front pocket of my bag, Ten Essential Herbs by Lalitha Thomas. This is NOT an SDA publication and does contain some secular views, but is an overall excellent reference. Please note, though, that I do place my new learning of remedies from the Spirit of Prophecy and from this class in higher regard than this book!
• Burn Aid by John W. Keim (see above)
• Quick reference CPR Card
• Small First-Aid Reference book, (optional) 

FROM THE PROPHET OF THE LORD:

“The Lord gave me great light on health reform. In connection with my husband, I was to be a medical missionary worker. I was to set an example to the church by taking the sick to my home and caring for them. This I have done, giving the women and children vigorous treatment. I was also to speak on the subject of Christian temperance, as the Lord's appointed messenger. I engaged heartily in this work, and spoke to large assemblies on temperance in its broadest and truest sense.” {1SM 33.2}

“I was instructed that I must ever urge upon those who profess to believe the truth, the necessity of practicing the truth. This means sanctification, and sanctification means the culture and training of every capability for the Lord's service.” {1SM 33.3}

Is The Health Message Important For These Last Days? Is It Salvational?

Matthew 4:4 – “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT THIS?

Revelation 14:6-7 – “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, FEAR GOD AND GIVE GLORY TO HIM; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”

1 Corinthians 10:31 – “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of GOD.”

1 Corinthians 9:25 – “And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.”

2 Peter 1:5-8 – “And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, TEMPERANCE: against such there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22, 23)

Romans 8:9 – “...if any man have not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his.”

Amos 3:7 – “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.”

WHAT DOES THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY SAY?

“The Lord himself has spoken upon this subject of the care of the body. He says in His word, “If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” 1 Cor. 3:17, R. V. This scripture enjoins a conscientious care of the body, and condemns all ignorant or careless neglect. And again: “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.” “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” 1 Cor. 6: 19, 20; 10:31. {FE 427.1}

The intelligent, conscientious care of our bodies is due to our Heavenly Father, who "so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." We are individually the property of Christ, His purchased possession. It is required of each one of us to preserve our health and strength by the practice of temperance in all things. The appetites and passions must be controlled, that through them we shall not weaken or defile God's human temple.”

{FE 427.2}

ANYTHING THAT LESSENS THE PHYSICAL POWER ENFEEBLES THE MIND, AND MAKES IT LESS CLEAR TO DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG.

“This principle is illustrated in the case of Nadab and Abihu. God gave them a most sacred work to perform, permitting them to come near to Himself in their appointed service; but they had a habit of drinking wine, and they entered upon the holy service in the sanctuary with confused minds. There was the sacred fire, which was kindled by God himself; but they used the common fire upon their censers, when they offered incense to ascend as a sweet fragrance with the prayers of God's people. Because their minds were clouded by an unholy indulgence, they disregarded the divine requirement; “and there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.”  {FE 427.3}

“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.”  {CD 17.2}

“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. Those who transgress the law of God in their physical organism, will be inclined to violate the law of God spoken from Sinai.”  {CD 17.3}

“Our heavenly father sent the light of health reform to guard against the evils resulting from a debased appetite, that those who love purity and holiness may know how to use with discretion the good things He has provided for them, and that by exercising temperance in daily life, they may be sanctified through the truth...”  {CD 23.1}

“Let it ever be kept before the mind that the great object of hygienic reform is to secure the highest possible development of mind and soul and body.  All the laws of nature--which are the laws of God--...will aid us in a preparation for the life to come.”  {CD 23.2}

“I have been shown that the principles that were given us in the early days of the message are as important and should be regarded just as conscientiously today as they were then....on the question of diet. It is now time to take the light from under the bushel, and let it shine forth in clear, bright rays.”  {CD 23.3}

“…Only when we are intelligent in regard to the principles of healthful living, can we be fully aroused to see the evils resulting from improper diet.”  (CD 23.5)

Proverbs 8:13 – “The Fear of the Lord is to HATE EVIL...”

“We should educate ourselves, not only to live in harmony with the laws of health, but to teach others the better way. Many, even of those who profess to believe the special truths for this time, are lamentably ignorant with regard to health and temperance. They need to be educated line upon line, precept upon precept. The subject must be kept before them. This matter must not be passed over as non-essential; for nearly every family needs to be stirred up on the question. The conscience must be aroused to the duty of practicing the principles of true reform. GOD REQUIRES that his people shall be temperate in all things. Unless they practice true temperance, they will not, they cannot, be susceptible to the sanctifying influence of the truth.”  {CD 451.2}

“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. Many, by practicing the laws of nature and by receiving the renovating grace of God into the soul, obtain a new lease of physical and spiritual life...”  {CH 221.4}.

“The health reform, I was shown, is a part of the third angel's message, and is just as closely connected with it as are the arm and hand with the human body. I saw that we as a people must make an advance move in this great work. Ministers and people must act in concert. God's people are not prepared for the loud cry of the third angel. They have a work to do for themselves which they should not leave for God to do for them...gluttony is the prevailing sin of this age. Lustful appetite makes slaves of men and women, and beclouds their intellects and stupefies their moral sensibilities to such a degree that the sacred, elevated truths of God's word are not appreciated...”  {CD 32.2}

“In order to be fitted for translation...the people of God...should ever have the appetite in subjection to the moral and intellectual organs. The body should be servant to the mind, and not the mind to the body.”  {CD 33.1}

“At our large gatherings, instruction should be given upon health and temperance. Seek to arouse the intellect and the conscience. Bring into service all the talent at command, and follow up the work with publications upon the subject. “EDUCATE, EDUCATE, EDUCATE,” is the message that has been impressed upon me.”  {CD 451.3}

“It is important that instructions should be given...in regard to living temperately. They should show the relation which eating, working, resting, and dressing, sustain to health. All who believe the truth for these last days, have something to do in this matter. It concerns them, and God requires them to arouse and interest themselves in this reform. He will not be pleased with their course if they regard this question with indifference.”  {CD 39.1}

“Every gospel worker should feel that the giving of instruction in the principles of healthful living, is a part of the appointed work. Of this work there is great need, and the world is open for it.” {CD 458.1}

“As our first parents lost Eden through the indulgence of appetite, our only hope of regaining Eden is through the firm denial of appetite and passion... The controlling power of appetite will prove the ruin of thousands, when, if they had conquered on this point, then they would have had the moral power to gain the victory of over every other temptation of Satan. BUT THOSE WHO ARE SLAVES TO APPETITE WILL FAIL IN PERFECTING CHRISTIAN CHARACTER...”  --T., V. III, p. 491. {HL 74.5}

“Ignorance is no excuse now for the transgression of law... All are bound by the most sacred obligations to God to heed the sound philosophy and genuine experience which he is not giving them in reference to health reform. He designs that the great subject of health reform shall be agitated and the public mind deeply stirred to investigate; for it is impossible for men and women, with all their sinful, health-destroying, brain-enervating habits, to discern sacred truth, through which they are to be sanctified, refined, elevated, and made fit for the society of heavenly angels in the kingdom of glory...”  {CD 70.2}

“In the judgment we shall see how seriously God regards the violation of the laws of health.”   {CD 40. 1}

“Many have done the body much injury by a disregard of the laws of life, and they may never recover from the effects of their neglect; but even now they may repent and be converted. Man has tried to be wiser than God. He has become a law unto himself. God calls upon us to give attention to His requirements, no longer to dishonor Him by dwarfing the physical, mental, and spiritual capabilities...”  (CD 40.1)

THE HEALTH REFORM:

“…is one branch of the great work which is to fit a people for the coming of the Lord.”  (CD 69.1)

“The light God has given on health reform is for our salvation and the salvation of the world...”

(CH 479.1)

“The work of health reform is the Lord's means...for purifying his church...”  (CD 77.1)

“God desires His people to bind medical missionary work up with the work of the third angel's message. This is the work that will restore the moral image of God in man...”  (MM 160.2)

“Keep the work of health reform to the front is the message I am instructed to bear. Show so plainly its value that a widespread need for it will be felt.”  (9T 113.1)

How To Lose Weight

1. EAT BREAKFAST (Do not skip breakfast) (eat at same time every day...preferably before 9:00 am).

BREAKFAST IS TO BE THE HEARTIEST MEAL OF THE DAY:

“AT BREAKFAST TIME the stomach is in a better condition to take care of more food than at the second or third meal of the day...MAKE YOUR BREAKFAST CORRESPOND MORE NEARLY TO THE HEARTIEST MEAL OF THE DAY.”  {CD 173.2}

“Some people skip breakfast in an effort to lose weight, but the practice is more likely to cause weight gain than weight loss. SKIPPING BREAKFAST IS STRONGLY LINKED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF OBESITY. Studies show that overweight and obese children, adolescents, and adults are less likely to break the fast each morning than their thinner counterparts.”  (Web MD)

 2. DRINK ½ YOUR WEIGHT IN OUNCES OF WATER EVERY DAY. (Put fresh lemon juice in your morning water).

“But if anything is needed to quench the thirst, pure water is all that nature requires. Never take tea, coffee, beer, wine, or any spirituous liquor.”  {CH 120.1}  

“…I use lemon juice freely…”  {2MR 48.1}  

 3. DON'T FRY ANY FOOD.

I noticed one boy, three years of age, who had bowel difficulty. He had considerable fever. The mother seemed to think that food would help his case, and every time he asked for food, she gave him fried chicken, bread and butter, or rich cake. Another child of about ten years was suffering from fever, and was disinclined to eat. Yet the mother urged her to eat this and that. Children, sick, complaining, and feverish, were urged to eat food unfit to be placed in any human stomach, even if in the most healthy condition.”  {7MR 1.3

“We do not think fried potatoes are healthful, for there is more or less grease or butter used in preparing them…”  {CD 323.1} 

4. SAUTÉ ONIONS, GARLIC, AND VEGGIES IN WATER INSTEAD OF OIL.

“You should keep grease out of your food. It defiles any preparation of food you may make. Eat largely of fruits and vegetables.” {CD 200.2} 

 5. 50 PERCENT RAW for Breakfast (3 fruit, + nuts or seeds) + Lunch (½ plate salad and veggie).

 6. NO WHITE PRODUCTS (like white rice, white bread, etc.).

 7. PORTION CONTROL (eat 1/2 to 2/3 of what you normally eat).

 “Nearly all of the human family eat more than the system requires…Even so-called health reform needs reforming upon this point…RELIEVE IT ONE-HALF TO TWO-THIRDS OF THE LABORIOUS TASK THEY REQUIRE IT TO PERFORM...” {SPM 41.3}

 8. DON'T GO BACK FOR 2nds or 3rds.

 9. CHEW YOUR FOOD WELL.

“Masticate slowly, and allow the saliva to mingle with the food.” {CTBH 51.2}

10. WALK EVERYDAY (minimum of 30 minutes, preferably 60 minutes).

“Daily physical exercise is necessary to the enjoyment of health…” {DG 162.2} 

11. BE IN BED BY 9:00 pm.

“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} 

12. PRAY.

“There is now need of much prayer. Christ commands, “Pray without ceasing;” that is, keep the mind uplifted to God, the source of all power and efficiency.”  —Testimonies to Ministers, 510  {Pr 29.3}
