Sickness, suffering, and death are works of an antagonistic power. Satan is the destroyer; God is the restorer.

The Lord gave His word to ancient Israel, that if they would cleave strictly to Him, and do all His requirements, He would keep them from all the diseases such as He had brought upon the Egyptians; but this promise was given on the condition of obedience. (CD p. 26.3)

The words spoken to

ancient Israel are true today of

those who recover health of body or health of soul. "I am the

Lord that healeth thee." Exodus 15:26

Perspectives

We teach from three perspectives:

Bible

Inspiration

Good Science

Sickness and Disease are caused from one of three reasons

For the glory of God

Violation of natural laws

Violation of spiritual laws

Perspectives

Health is Spiritual

Numbers 12

Spiritual things are SPIRITUALLY

discerned

Disease never comes without a cause. (PATH 74/ MH 94)

… the curse causeless shall not come. (Proverbs 26.2 part b)

Disease Definition

Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from the violation of the laws of health. (PATH p. 37)

What are the Laws of Health

Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water, trust in divine power

these are the true remedies. (MH p. 44)

The first thing to be done is to ascertain the true character of the sickness and then go to work intelligently to remove the cause. (PATH p. 74 / MH p. 94)

If the harmonious working of the system has become unbalanced by overwork, overeating, or other irregularities, do not endeavor to adjust the difficulties by adding a burden of poisonous medicines. (PATH p. 74 / MH p. 94)

In the case of sickness, the cause should be ascertained,

unhealthful conditions should be changed,

wrong habits corrected,then nature is to be assisted in her effort

to expel impurities and to re-establish right conditions in the system. (MH p. 44)

What should one do if they get sick?

The use of natural remedies requires an

amount of care and effort that many are not

willing to give. Nature's process of healing

and upbuilding is gradual, and to the

impatient it seems slow. The surrender of

hurtful indulgences requires sacrifice. (MH p. 44)

Counsels and Cautions

But in the end it will be found that nature,

untrammeled, does her work wisely and

well. Those who persevere in obedience

to her laws will reap the reward in health

of body and health of mind. (MH p. 44)

Counsels and Cautions

Do Drugs Cure Disease?

If the harmonious working of the system has

become unbalanced by overwork,

overeating or other irregularities do not

endeavor to adjust the difficulties by adding

a burden of poisonous medicines. (PATH p. 74 / MH p. 94)

Metformin Oral

Too little attention is generally given to the

preservation of health.

It is far better to prevent disease than to know how

to treat it when contracted. (MH p. 128)

By the use of poisonous drugs, many bring upon

themselves lifelong illness, and many lives are lost

that might be saved by the use of natural methods

of healing. (MH p. 128)

Drugs never cure disease;

they only change its form and

location. . . . When drugs are introduced

into the system, for a time they seem to

have a beneficial effect. A change may

take place, but the disease is not cured. It

will manifest itself in some other form. . . .

The disease which the drug was given to cure

may disappear, but only to reappear in a new

form, such as skin diseases, ulcers, painful,

diseased joints, and sometimes in a more

dangerous and deadly form. . . . Nature keeps

struggling, and the patient suffers with different

ailments, until there is a sudden breaking down

in her efforts, and death follows.– (HL 243.3)

DIABETESWhere is the Sugar?





What is Diabetes?

Diabetes occurs when the body becomes

unable to handle glucose (sugar), which

builds up to dangerous levels in the blood.

A diagnosis of diabetes is usually made when a

blood sugar test is consistently above

126mg/dl (7.0 mmol/liter).

Source: Health power p. 53

Blood Sugar Ranges

Normal Level

• levels range from 65-99 mg/dL (3.6-5.5 mmol/liter).

Pre-Diabetes Level

• fasting blood sugar levels ranges from 100-125 mg/dL (5.6-6.9 mmol/liter) after an 8 hour fast.

Diabetes Level

• a diagnosis of diabetes is usually made when a blood sugar test is consistently above 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/liter) after an 8 hour fast.

Glucose Metabolism• Normal Glucose Metabolism

- We eat food- Food is digested and carbohydrate is

broken down into simple sugars- Glucose enters the blood (insulin is

produced to transport sugar distribution about the body)

- Insulin, acting like an usher, opens the door for glucose to enter into different cells

Glucose Metabolism• Dysfunctional Glucose Metabolism

- Insulin producing cells are destroyed (Type 1)

- Insulin is produced but the body ignores distribution (Type 2)

Categories &Types of Diabetes

(Diabetes Insipidus) bland or insipid urine

1. Central

2. Nephrogenic

3. Gestational

4. Dipsogenic

(Diabetes Mellitus) honey-sweet urine

1. Type 1

2. Type 1.5

3. Type 2

4. Type 3 (Alzheimer's Disease)

Water Diabetes Sugar Diabetes

Diabetes Type 1 or Juvenile

Cannot produce adequate insulin because the insulin-producing cells

of the pancreas have been destroyed.

Source: The China Study p. 146

Diabetes Type I and 1.5 Causes

• Damage to the pancreas, drug induced, a viral infection and or Vitamin D deficiency along with other lifestyle factors.

• Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) is a form of autoimmune (type 1 diabetes) Alternate terms that have been used for "LADA" include Late-onset Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood

• "Slow Onset Type 1" diabetes, and sometimes also "Type 1.5” diabetes.

Characteristics of LADA

• Adult age at diagnosis (usually over 30 years of age)

• Initial presentation masquerades as non-obese type 2 diabetes (does not present as diabetic ketoacidosis)

• Initially can be controlled with meal planning with or without diabetes pills

• Insulin dependency gradually occurs, frequently within months

• Positive antibodies • Low C-peptide levels. • Unlikely to have a family history of type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes Type II

Can produce insulin, but the insulin does not do its job.

Source: The China Study p. 146

Diabetes Type II Causes

• Fat in the diet and fat on the body causes diabetes. The disease is rare in areas of the world where fat intake is low and obesity uncommon.

• Diabetes Type II is caused by a 65% high-fat diet, fat in the diet and fat on the body.

Symptoms of Diabetes

1. Polyuria (excessive passage of urine)

2. Polydipsia (excessive thirst), and

3. Polyphagia (excessive hunger)

Other symptoms:• Weakness • Fatigue• Tingling sensation in extremities• Blurred vision• Dry and itchy skin • Unusual weight loss • Darkness on both sides of cheeks (Acanthosis Nigricans)

• Areas darken on creases of the body (arms, neck, etc…)

Diabetes Type III

Alzheimer’s Disease - deposits of a protein in their pancreas which is similar to the protein deposits found in the brain

tissue of Alzheimer's sufferers.

Causes of Diabetes Type III

• Age• Family History• Down’s syndrome• Whiplash and head injuries• Aluminum• Gender• Heart disease risk-factors• Processed foods and fertilizers

Age

After the age of 65 the risk of developing Alzheimer's doubles every five years. Although Alzheimer's is predominantly a disease that develops during old age, some younger people may also develop the condition. According to the Canadian Medical Association Journal the risk of developing Alzheimer's is as follows: • Ages 65-74, 1 in 100 • Ages 75-84, 1 in 14 • Age over 85, 1 in 4.

Family history

People who have a close family member who developed Alzheimer's have a slightly higher risk of developing it themselves - just a slightly higher risk, not a significantly higher risk. Only about 7% of all cases are associated with genes that cause the early onset inherited familiar form of the disease. Among those who do inherit the condition, it may start at an earlier age.

Down's syndrome

People with Down's syndrome have an

extra copy of chromosome 21, which

contains a protein that exists in the brain

of people with Alzheimer's. As people with

Down's syndrome have a larger amount of

this protein than others, their risk of

developing the disease is greater.

Whiplash and head injuries

Some studies have identified a link between

whiplash and head injuries and a higher risk

of developing Alzheimer's.

Aluminum

• Aluminum is a widely recognized nerve toxin.

• It has been found in increased concentrations in all Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) affected tissue.

Gender

A higher percentage of women develop Alzheimer's than men.

As women live longer than men, and Alzheimer's risk grows with age, this may partly explain the reason.

Heart disease risk-factors

People with the risk factors of heart disease

- high blood pressure (hypertension), high

cholesterol, and poorly controlled diabetes -

also have a higher risk of developing

Alzheimer's.

Processed foods and fertilizers (nitrates)

A study carried out by researchers at Rhode Island

Hospital found a significant link between increased

levels of nitrates in our environment and food, with

increased deaths from diseases, including

Alzheimer's, diabetes and Parkinson's. The study

looked at progressive increases in human

exposure to nitrates, nitrites and nitrosamines

through processed and preserved foods as well as

fertilizers.

Can a Vegan Vegetarian get Diabetes?

• Yes, by over indulgence in fats and oils.• Overindulgence in that which is good

can have an adverse effect.

Care should be taken however not to use a large portion of nuts. PATH p.95

The Faucet

HOW TO TURN OFF THE FAUCET?DIET

How to turn off the Faucet?Foods to avoid

• All flesh and its byproducts• All dairy• Alcohol, teas, caffeine• High fat diet• Natural or artificial sweeteners • All dried fruits as sugar content is high• All forms of juices

What shall I eat?Foods to Increase

• Fresh fruit and vegetables• Legumes• Garlic• Nuts and grains• Squash• Diuretic foods (celery, cauliflower,

eggplant, melon, grape, grapefruit) • Use salt with iodine and trace minerals

UNPLUGGING THE SINKLIFESTYLE

Unplugging the Sink - Lifestyle• Exercise (1 hour of continual walking is

equal to 20 units of insulin)• Walk casually 15 to 30 minutes after each

meal• When a diabetic goes walking, they should

take a whole fruit with them. If they experience any symptoms of low blood sugar (headache, trembling, lightheadedness, anxiety, nausea, etc.) than they can start to eat that fruit to increase the blood sugar levels.

Unplugging the Sink - Lifestyle• Go to bed before 10:00pm• Increase water intake• Get adequate sunlight between the hours

of 10:00am and 2:00pm (5000 IU Vitamin D daily)

MOPPING IT ALL UPHERBAL TREATMENTS

Mopping it all up – Herbal Treatment

• Garlinase 2 tablets twice a day with each meal or 4 cloves of fresh garlic daily.

• Gymnema Sylvestre 2 tablets twice a day with each meal

• GTF Chromium 1 tablet twice a day with each meal (brown rice)

• Flaxseed 2 tablespoons freshly ground daily (diabetes/high blood pressure/ cholesterol/memory)


• Hibiscus Tea steep 7 flowers in 32oz of water and drink daily (lowers blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes)


• Pumpkin Seeds (handful at each meal)• Lecithin granules (dissolves fat/diabetes/high

blood pressure/cholesterol)• Artichokes (diabetes)• String beans (diabetes)• Prickly pear (diabetes)

Natural Recommendations• Vitamin B12 supplement daily (no more than

10mcg daily) • All forms of Beans and Whole Grains• Niacin (vitamin B3) (used to reverse type

1,1.5 and 2) • Vitamin D - take 5000iu daily, until your level is

back in line.

• If at night/morning your blood sugar level drops below 80mg/dL, eat a piece of fruit (orange)

WarningWhat should I do if my blood sugar level is dropping?

- If at night/morning your blood sugar level drops below 80mg/dl, eat a piece of fruit (orange or any fruit)

- Also if the blood sugar level is 140mg/dl (7.8 mmol/liter) or below before bedtime be careful with the amount of medication that you take at that time.

- Please contact your Health Care Provider so that they can make the necessary adjustments to your medication.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all.

Thank You
