The first thing we must realise is that the human body is a living organism made up of approximately 100 trillion living cells. Parts of our body made of cells include our bones, blood, skin, muscle, eyes, heart, liver, among others.
Each cell is a miniature generator that requires fuel and oxygen to generate the electrical energy needed to power the body. The body also has a defence mechanism which we call the immune system. Then there is nervous system which transmits impulse throughout the body. The endocrine system coordinates body functions of the glands. The respiratory system controls our oxygen intake. The circulation system involves movement of the blood. And there is so much more. Truly, we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
If we want to know how to maintain wellness, we must first understand how we are made, how our body is designed to heal itself and what foods we should take for our bodies to function properly. The food is (vegetables) given as a herb bearing seed and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed.
On this original diet, man lived an average of 912 years, prior to the (famous Noah) floods, without a single recorded instance of sickness.
Following the flood, two changes were made in man’s diet… meat was added and man started to cook his food. Following these two challenges in the way man ate, the lifespan rapidly declined in 10 generations from an average of 912 years to 100 years.
Today we have moved even further from our original diet by putting increasingly more toxic substances into our bodies so that today, by the age of 40, the average person already has serious physical problems. The average four-year old already has plaque build up in his arteries, and the average youth of today cannot even pass the president’s minimal physical fitness requirements — a standard that has been lowered several times since 1940.
The generation is sick and getting sicker by the day. The symptoms and signs of this sickness are evident in the ever increasing numbers of people afflicted by heart attacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and a host of other degenerative diseases. But keep in mind that cancer, heart diseases and other ailments are not the problem itself, but merely symptoms of the problem. The problem today is that we are putting into our bodies substances (poisonous) that our bodies were never designed to deal with. We further complicate the problem by trying to treat the resulting symptoms with additional poison in the form of drugs.
Any successful approach to health must deal with the cause of the problem rather than merely the symptoms. Today, when we develop a physical problem, we have been programmed to believe that the problem is the result of some virus, germ, or bacteria that attacked our innocent body, or that we inherited the problem through our genes from parents or grandparents. Nothing could be further from the truth. Such teachings are designed to keep us from realising the true cause of disease … our own transgression of natural laws.
The truth is that almost every physical problem we experience (other than those caused by accidents), are created by violating the natural laws established at creation for the sustaining of our life, health and well-being.
Then when we get sick, we try to treat the symptom of the disease with more poison (drugs), thinking this poison will destroy the physical problem. This only complicates the problem and actually creates new problems. What we must understand if we are going to restore our bodies to good health is that there are no cures. My friend, you who is reading these words, I don’t know how best to say it strong enough . . . THERE IS NO CURE. The only way to restore the body to wellness is with a healthy diet and lifestyle.
If we going to restore the body to wellness, we must realise that drugs do not cure, chemotherapy does not cure, radiation does not cure, surgery does not cure, vitamins do not cure and herbs do not cure. The only way to restore the body to wellness is to eliminate what caused the physical problem in the first place and then give the body the building materials it needs to restore and build itself.
Programmed into each individual is the art of self-healing.
Just as a cut on the surface of our skin will heal itself, the rest of our body – from the cellular level to vital organs – is also designed to be self–healing. This self-healing will occur when we stop consuming the “poisons” that caused the problem and give our body the nourishment on which it was originally designed to live on, prosper and heal. This ability to self-heal was programmed into our DNA at creation. Those who have made the change to a natural diet and a lifestyle can see that original plan of self-healing works better than all the prescription drugs, chemotherapy, radiation and surgery modern medical science has to offer.
The most important things needed for self-healing are fresh air, pure water, adequate rest, internal cleanliness, sunshine, a positive mental attitude, vigorous exercise and eating natural foods for our nourishment. The food that we need to feed on include pure water, fresh air, sunlight, and fresh, raw fruits and vegetables. For as long as these needs are met, the body becomes self-sufficient and will function properly and enjoy perfect health. But when we deviate from these basic biological needs, the body becomes clogged and poisoned, energy is depleted, physical problems result and life is shortened.
Rather than helping the body to restore itself to wellness by eliminating the things in our diet and lifestyle that created the problem, modern medical seek aggressively to fight the symptom. The way the medical profession deals with sickness today is wrong and it produces horrible results. Not a day goes by that I do not receive a dozens of phone call with the most horrible stories of the results they or their loved ones have experienced after going the traditional medical route for physical problems … especially cancer.
Think about how we deal with cancer today. Cancer is caused in most instances by improper diet or lifestyle. Lung cancer is caused primarily by cigarette smoking. Colon, breast, prostate and uterine cancer are caused primarily by animal products. In fact, animal products, excessive protein and fats are the cause of most of today’s cancers. If we would but eliminate the causes, and give the body the proper building materials, most cancers would disappear as the body’s own self-healing mechanism would kick in.
But the accepted first treatment for cancer today is usually chemotherapy. The basic chemical used in chemotherapy is similar to mustard gas. Yet this same “poison” is being injected into cancer patients hoping that it will kill some of the maverick cells, which it usually does. But it kills the good cells and further weakens an already weak immune system. In fact, cancer would never have originated in the first place if the immune system had been functioning properly.
Radiation is another treatment used on cancer patients today. Recently we read of those who were exposed to radiation years ago. We were told these radiation victims needed to compensated for the physical problems that arose because they were not told the harmful effects of the radiation they received. Today, radiation is used to treat cancer. It is supposed to destroy the maverick cells, which it often does. But in the process it also kills good cells and destroys our ability to manufacture white blood cells, thus further weakening our immune system. How many cancer patients today are being told by their physicians of the dangers of radiation? There is no safe use of radiation. All radiation is dangerous, whether it be treatment of cancer, microwave ovens or the radiation of food.
