God’s Eight Natural Doctors

Most diseases and health problems can be totally cured, or at least greatly helped by cooperating with God’s eight natural doctors. These are:

NUTRITION: God originally gave mankind fruits, grains and nuts to eat. In the Garden of Eden they didn’t cook anything, but ate everything in peak condition. We should try to achieve and follow this plan of diet as much as possible, using lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and nuts with whole grains
and legumes. (I dry my grain sprouts, put them through the flour mill and use the flour as cereal, raw). The animals love it!

Young corn is delicious eaten raw, and some grains and legumes can be sprouted and eaten raw, or lightly cooked. Many vegetables that we usually automatically cook can be eaten raw, especially if they are fresh from the garden, young and tender. We should totally avoid flesh meats, coffee
and tea, alcohol, refined sugar, white flour products, refined foods, junk foods. Dairy products are not the best; avocados, nuts and seeds are better.

EXERCISE: We need plenty of activity, especially out-of-doors. Useful work is the best as it is purposeful, meaningful and helpful; with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction afterwards. We should not overdo it, but should work according to our capacity, and stop before we are exhausted.

WATER: Our bodies lose about two quarts of water a day passed in urine, stools, sweating and breathing, and this must be replaced. Drink at least 8-10 cups of pure water every day. More wouldn’t hurt you, and is especially necessary when the weather is hot and/or you are working hard.
A great way to start your day is by drinking a quart, more or less, of pure hot water.

SUNSHINE: Let the sunshine into your home and heart, and be out in it as much as possible and practicable. Gear yourself to an outdoor life.

TEMPERANCE: Temperance means total avoidance of what is harmful, and judicious use of what is good.

AIR: Breathe deeply of pure, fresh air, especially around pine, cedar, and other evergreen trees. Practice deep breathing at all times.

REST: “Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”

TRUST: Trust awakens trust. We should try to trust our fellow man as much as we can, in spite of the crime and corruption that is in this world. Distrust, fear and worry break down the vital forces of our being whereas, faith, hope and trust build us up.

BIBLE TEXTS FOR A NEW START

NUTRITION: Genesis 1:29. “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creeps upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.”

EXERCISE: Genesis 2:15. “And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.” 2Thess. 3:10. “For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither would he eat.”

WATER: Rev. 22:17. “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”

SUNSHINE: Malachi 4:2. “But unto you that fear My Name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.”

TEMPERANCE: Galatians 5:22, 23. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.” 2Peter 1:5-7. “And besides 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.”

AIR: Genesis 2:7. “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

REST: Genesis 2:2,3. “And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which he had made, and God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.”

TRUST: Psalm 37:5-11. “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. And He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be; yea, you shall consider diligently his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.”
