due to
Cancer
Ex. Those who live have a greatly reduced quality of life
Psalm
139:14
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully
and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy
works; and that
my soul knoweth right well.

Our
body is literally a chemical factory composed of almost every element in the
mineral kingdom - oxygen 65%, carbon 15%, hydrogen 10%, nitrogen 3%, calcium
2%, phosphorous 1%, and trace amounts of sulfur, sodium, chlorine, fluorine,
potassium, magnesium, iron, silicone, iodine, copper, lead, aluminum, etc.
These are airborne elements "breath of life” and the remaining elements
come from the earth "dust of the ground" about 4%
·
Our
body consists of about 100 trillion cells. These cells require constant
nourishment in constant cleansing of contaminants. If properly cleansed and nourished they can
almost live forever. Some parts of the body are renewed as often as every
week; much of the body is rebuilt every year while
the bones
require as much as several years of total rebuilding and
replacement.
·
If
the cells are not given proper nourishment and cleansed of toxic material when
they are reproduced, the stronger cells will be replaced by weaker cells
resulting in sickness.
We must
realize that being sick is not normal and it's not the natural state of our
body. Our bodies are not supposed to get sick
Cells can
live forever in a laboratory, as long as the fluid in which the cell is living
in is constantly cleaned and change
Ex. Animals in the wild – Never get cancer, heart disease,
cavities, arthritis, and
diabetes
Ex. There are cultures in the world where people have never had
cancer,
diabetes
THEORIES
ABOUT WHY PEOPLE GET SICK
1.
All
diseases are caused by germs, primarily bacteria
2.
Viruses
are the cause of all illness and disease
3.
The
current theory - all sickness and disease and illness is caused by genetic
defects.
We
either “catch” something or “develop” something but because of our immune
system that means:
a.
Our immune system is weak
b.
Toxins are attacking our body
c.
We have nutritional
deficiencies
d.
There's too much mental and
emotional stress trapped in our bodies
THREE
REASONS CHRISTIANS GET SICK
1.
For
the glory of God. (John 9:1– 3)
2.
Because
of unconfessed sin. Example – unforgiveness
3.
Violation
of God's natural laws.
CHEMICALS
Over
1,000,000,000 pounds of insecticides are sprayed on food each year. Less than
1% ever reaches the insect.
Chemicals
are added to our food that actually makes people hungrier so they
will eat more of the product. Certain chemicals are added to cause people to be
addicted
to the product so that they will buy more.
There
are over 15,000 ingredients that food manufacturer don't have to
be put on the label of the foods we buy.
Many
say if it's in a box, if it's in a bottle or jar, don’t eat it.
The
bottom line is this - anything we eat or drink that has been genetically
modified or process by a large publicly traded food manufacturer are produced
with herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers or with chemical additives –
the food will stress our body.
1.
It
suppresses our immune system making us more susceptible to disease.
2.
It
turns our bodies from the natural alkaline pH state in which disease and
illness can't survive into an acidic state in which cancer, heart disease and
diabetes can thrive.
PRESERVATIVES
Our
grandparents only had two preservatives salt and vinegar.
Today
we have BHA, BHT, sodium nitrate calcium propionate, EDTA, red dyes, yellow
dyes etc.
Categories
of Preservatives:
WATER
Our
ancestors drank from a well or spring - it was pure. Today our water is
chlorinated, fluorinated and toxic.
MILK
Pasteurized
milk is heated to at least 160° to 220° to kill bacteria but the
heating also destroys the total nutritional value of the milk. Then, it's
homogenized so that the cream will not rise to the top. Ex. We are told milk is
good in calcium, but we are unaware that the pasteurization process renders the
calcium unstable by the body. The organic calcium is changed to an inorganic
form which the body cannot use.
The
pasteurized molecules become so small when you ingest them they virtually scar
your arteries. They clog up
your digestive system making it very difficult to digest food, which is one of
the major causes of acid reflux disease, obesity, allergies and constipation.
FISH
Farmed
versus those that grows in the wild. The farmed fish grow in unnatural
environments to unnaturally large sizes.
Poisonous chemicals are used in processing the fish.
FLOUR
They
removed the germ which contains most of the food value because it gums up their
machines. Next they remove the bran because it leaves brown specks in the flour
then they bleach it with the chemical bleaching agent similar to Clorox.
MARGARINE
They
take liquid oil and heat it to a high temperature. Then bubble hydrogen gas to it so it becomes
hard. Next, they bleach it, filter it
and deodorize it producing an ODORLESS tasteless artificial fat. It becomes hydrogenated which scars the
arteries and causes heart disease.
IRRADIATION
This
is when foods of all kinds are zapped with radioactive beams of energy designed
to kill harmful bacteria so you don't get sick or die when you eat it. This is
needed because of the way they process the food. This process often changes
food to a toxic state rather than a life-giving state.
MEAT
Antibiotics
and Growth Hormones are added

Ex. See the movie Super
Size Me on DVD
ORANGE
JUICE
First
of all, motivated by selling more at a lower cost:
1.
They
choose the worst oranges in the world that they couldn't sell
2.
These
oranges are already full of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and are genetically
engineered.
3.
Because
of the processing implants, bacteria and mold can easily develop
4.
They
heat the juice to 220° for 30 minutes to kill any bacteria.
5.
This
process destroys the natural energy enzymes and vitamins contained in the
product.
6.
They
often add sugar but even if they don't, the pasteurization makes it much
sweeter than normal.
Pasteurization
is when the juice is subjected to the high temperatures, but it loses 100% of
its enzymes, over 80% of his vitamins and 100% of the organic minerals that were
in the juice. Almost the entire nutritional value of the
DRUGS
Mark
5:25-26
And a
certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, [26] And had suffered
many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing
bettered, but rather grew worse.
Most
drugs cause more problems than solve them.
Almost all synthetic drugs are poisonous or toxic to the body that's why
they call so many side-effects.
Ex. Nexium
The safety of
NEXIUM was evaluated in over 15,000 patients (aged 18-84 years) in clinical
trials worldwide including over 8,500 patients in the United States and over
6,500 patients in Europe and Canada. Over 2,900 patients were treated in
long-term studies for up to 6-12 months. In general, NEXIUM was well tolerated
in both short and long-term clinical trials.
A study was performed
evaluating the safety of NEXIUM in pediatric patients aged 12-17 for the
treatment of symptomatic GERD.
The safety in the treatment of
healing of erosive esophagitis was
assessed in four randomized comparative clinical trials, which included 1,240
patients on NEXIUM 20 mg, 2,434
patients on NEXIUM 40 mg, and 3,008 patients on omeprazole 20 mg daily. The
most frequently occurring adverse events (≥1%) in all three groups was headache (5.5, 5.0,
and 3.8, respectively) and diarrhea (no
difference among the three groups). Nausea, flatulence, abdominal pain, constipation, and dry mouth occurred at
similar rates among patients taking NEXIUM or omeprazole.
Additional adverse events that
were reported as possibly or probably related to NEXIUM with an incidence <
1% are listed below by body system:
Body as a Whole: abdomen enlarged, allergic reaction, asthenia, back pain, chest pain, chest pain substernal, facial edema, peripheral edema, hot flushes, fatigue, fever, flu-like disorder, generalized edema, leg edema, malaise, pain, rigors; Cardiovascular: flushing, hypertension, tachycardia; Endocrine: goiter; Gastrointestinal: bowel irregularity, constipation aggravated, dyspepsia, dysphagia, dysplasia GI, epigastric pain, eructation, esophageal disorder, frequent stools, gastroenteritis, GI hemorrhage, GI symptoms not otherwise specified, hiccup, melena, mouth disorder, pharynx disorder, rectal disorder, serum gastrin increased, tongue disorder, tongue edema, ulcerative stomatitis, vomiting; Hearing: earache, tinnitus; Hematologic: anemia, anemia hypochromic, cervical lymphoadenopathy, epistaxis, leukocytosis, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia; Hepatic: bilirubinem
