Where's your trust?

5/12/2022

   As a nation and a world, mankind has been under attack by a massive spirit of fear. Because of this fear, people have resorted to many things which they ordinarily would never have considered in the past.
   This fear steals many elements of our lives and our vitality. This creates a systemic change in our body’s chemistry. Psalms 91 is the soldiers prayer, and has protected people for years both in everyday life and in battle.
   We live in this flesh body, but life is much more than flesh and blood. The number of patients I take care of who are dealing with the use of antidepressants and anti anxiety drugs is way too many. We wouldn’t find ourselves resorting to these chemical therapies if we weren’t allowing our thought processes to rule our lives.
   Have you ever had someone sing part of a song and afterwards couldn’t get it out of your head? Our brain is a processing site for information we allow in. Watching the news allows whatever you watched and listened to, access into your most dominant thoughts. Many times this can create a continuous loop, going over and over while you’re trying to fall asleep. This can be where the need for sleep drugs comes in.
   When you look at this psalm, the part we’re responsible for is to speak and claim our trust and faith in God. Verse 2: “I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”
   These days I continually see where the trust people have is directly related to what they’ve been focusing on. In the book of Hebrews we see where faith comes from hearing. So with this fact in place, consider where your faith lies. What have you allowed to be your truth? Is it pharmacy and vaccines? If so, consider the source of input allowing that to be what you rely and depend on.
   When I was younger there were television shows like Dr Kildare back in 1938 (no, I’m not that old), and Ben Casey, in which these doctor shows portrayed doctors glorified, being like Gods. These shows failed to show the true nature of all the failures from medical treatments and medications. The reliance on doctors and drugs quickly directed people to put all their trust in these areas.
   Today, we’re closely tuned to the words of medical directives with hopes of staying well and not succumbing to whatever sickness is going around. Unfortunately, the present medical advice is coming from a direction of greed. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize the pharmaceutical companies are getting rich over the fear mongering propagated by the likes of Fauci and the rest.
   Our bodies have been created with great wisdom, and the function of our immune system can’t be compared to anything pedaled by drug companies. As I uncover more and more information regarding the dangers of these present shots, and the intent behind these campaigns, and then share this information, even with loving family members, they refuse to hear any of it. I think of the term used in the movie Bambi, they’ve been twiterpated.
   It’s critical we align our hearing with truth. When we hear the term ‘follow the science’ what I really hear is ‘follow the money’. The pharmaceutical industry always has an answer to our health challenges, but their answer comes with a hefty price tag. That’s not just the price in dollars and cents, but in damaged health.
   It’s not uncommon to see each drug given followed by another and then another. When I visited the VA after going on medicare I think it surprised the doctor after he saw how abundantly healthy I was. He wanted to know what medications I took. I told him I’ve never taken any medications. That’s God’s best for us.
   God’s medicines are found in foods created from the earth as well as the thoughts and intents of the heart. When we allow the thoughts of the world to invade and take up residence in our hearts and minds, it opens a door to any and all sicknesses and disease. One of my favorite proverbs is #17:22. This is how it reads in the Passion Translation: A joyful, cheerful heart brings healing to both body and soul. But the one whose heart is crushed struggles with sickness and depression.
   This is so true for the multitudes that are having to take anti-anxiety and anti-depression drugs. Their focus is on issues they can’t control. To see the unlimited joy often seen in kids with Down’s Syndrome, baffles people. Most would see the problem and allow that to impact their outlook on life, yet these kids must not be pondering over the stressors of life.
   Can you give up your control on the issues around you and allow God to be God? All too often we find ourselves trying to save the world when we’re doing a rotten job just caring for ourselves.

Avoid the sugar high and the crash later.

   With more cases of illness being reported, we have to be proactive to stay healthy. It’s common to see a sharp rise in the cases of flu and colds around the time of Halloween.
   Since sugar consumption tends to greatly increase as our little monsters bring home their trick or treat bags, we have to have a plan some strategies for disposing of their bounty before they totally infuse themselves with this illness causing garbage.
   Often, we see mom and dad with their hands in the sugar bowl as well. Many can’t pass up these sweets when they’re readily available. Sugar can be every bit as addicting as heroin. Often times when an alcoholic tries to get off of alcohol, which is truly a form of sugar, they go for sweets.
   I grew up in a household where it was considered a sin to waste anything. Trust me, throwing out this harmful stuff isn’t a waste. Just think about how much you’re going to have to spend on doctor visits and medication if you don’t get this out of your house.
   In the past, the candy we purchased for the kids was what we would like, so that whatever was left over we might consume. Not anymore. Sugar creates inflammation in the body and the response involves increased immune surveillance.
   When this happens, our natural defenses become taxed and are weakened. Confiscating the candy and trashing it is the best thing you can do for you and your family. No one enjoys being stuck at home with a fever. Besides the prospect of weakening the immune system, increased sugar consumption puts a much greater burden on the pancreas, manufacturing insulin to offset the rise in blood sugar.
   Isn’t it interesting that zinc is instrumental in the production of insulin. The reduction of this mineral has been connected with diabetes, as well as loss of the sense of taste and smell. Deficiency is also connected with increased infections.
   Sugar increases burden on liver function and is connected with fatty liver disease and gallbladder stones and infection. With all these issues, sugar doesn’t look so sweet anymore.
   With the dramatic rise in childhood obesity, by taking authority over the consumption of sugar in our homes we can impact how our kids grow up. Educating them on good health and nutrition, with an understanding of why we avoid excessive sugar in our homes can go a long way toward their future.
   An experiment was done with rats where there were two groups, being fed differently. One group got healthy rat chow, like they would find in nature. The other group was given only refined carbohydrates and sugar. Both groups were given the choice between either water or alcohol to drink. The group given the healthy foods completely avoided the alcohol, whereas the poorly fed rats avoided the water and drank the alcohol.
   I know this may sound strange, but those addicted to unhealthy lifestyles could be due to unhealthy lifestyles regarding something seemingly simple as Halloween candy? We need to manage boundaries with our kids when they are still moldable. This means that the example we give them is huge. We can’t tell them one thing and then violate the very thing we told them. Our kids hear loudest with their eyes.
   Grateful that we live far enough out in the country that we don’t get the trick or treat crowd, and don’t have to buy any of that stuff. I’d hate to hear that I’m drumming up business. Hand out candy and a business card with it.
   I remember as a kid when people were honorable and wouldn’t ever consider harming a child. The good stuff was popcorn balls and Carameled apples. Unfortunately there had been many incidents of these items being tampered with, and injuring children. Helping Mom in creating these was half the fun of the event.
   Handing out Immune system health packs to the kids would be a great idea, but a kids concept of that wouldn’t be much of a thrill. So just what can we do as concerned citizens who desire to spread wellness instead of sickness? I’m still trying to figure this one out for myself.
   When the town would open business doors to the kids durning the day for their rounds, we’ve handed out pencils to the kids in the past. After all, they can use these in school. Balloons can also be something which kids like.
   After their sugar high, bring them back down to earth with a good protein dinner with healthy fats followed by some immune supporting herbs like Echinacea or our cold and flu tincture.

Real Vitamin C

   In the past I talked about how the government labels vitamin C as Ascorbic acid. Understanding all the amazing qualities of real vitamin C is important to the degree you won’t rely on synthetic counterfeits.
   As I shared, the toxic byproduct of plants being oxygen is only one element we require to live. If we continue to get hung up believing we need antioxidants, we’ll miss the true beauty of what the plant world provides for us. Is it any wonder that God put mankind in a garden?
   If the act of taking a concentrated antioxidant can interfere with cellular respiration, we need to understand the amount of these, as they exist in nature, isn’t damaging to our systems. There are many elements we consume which are actually beneficial to metabolism in minute doses. This would include many toxic chemicals and heavy metals.
   I often like to use the example of the watch, which has a main spring to power it. To try and force more than one mainspring into the watch wouldn’t work, but instead would interfere with it’s function.
   When we analyze the content of a high vitamin C food like the rose hips shown in the picture, we find there are many components within it which our body requires to function properly.
   For the body to manufacture collagen, the glue which holds our cells together, we need the complete vitamin C structure, not just ascorbic acid. Taking collagen as a supplement is a futile process, as this has to be fully ripped apart to access the basic elements for your body to use in creating your own collagen. Smearing a collagen product on your body hoping it will absorb it into the skin is another fallacy, and something the seller would like you to believe so you’ll waste your money on these products.
   If you want to restore collagen production in your body, you must first digest protein with adequate hydrochloric acid in your stomach, and consume the complete vitamin C structure. Where do you find this? Think about the rose hips, this is something which is growing and producing cellular components which it has to protect against the oxygen it produces. Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in all these components.
   When we think of building bones and every other component of our body, we can often think of one of the first foods we consume. Vitamin C is greatly diminished in milk after it’s pasteurized. Breast milk is rich in this component along with a host of other nutrients. It’s been proven that if you feed a calf pasteurized milk it will die. Destruction of critical nutrients in a living food limits its benefit to our cellular structure.
   If you were to stack a bunch of bricks for a bulkhead, it wouldn’t be near as strong as the bricks which were placed properly with mortar. This is the difference between trying to build bones with calcium and no vitamin C or calcium with vitamin C. Here again is the value of real, fresh, organic fruits and vegetables. Poor nutrition is the source of rapid aging.
   Szent-Gyorgi is the original discoverer of vitamin C. In and article in the Los Angeles Times, March 14, 1937, he’s quoted saying, “In repeated tests found that Citrin or vitamin P from lemons or red pepper in fourteen days would clear up a hemorrhagic condition when pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) from some other source was useless.” As he describes it, “The extracts were fractionated. The active substance, vitamin P, was found in the end as a fraction consisting of practically pure flavon or flavonal glycoside. Forty milligrams given daily for two weeks fully restored capillary resistance. Spontaneous bleeding ceased and capillary walls lost their fragility towards pressure differences.”
   Recently I saw a patient who experienced an intracranial vascular hemorrhage. This would not have happened provided he had enough of the P factor from natural vitamin C.
   When a chemist begins the study of any material, he has to dissect it to map the molecular structure. When finished, he tries to synthetically reproduce it’s construction. Natural vitamin complexes contain closely related principles found together in foods. The more we study these complexes, the more complex they appear. This is why synthetic and chemically purified vitamins are really not vitamins at all. They are only fragments of vitamins.
   Just as highly refined foods create nutritional deficiencies, so it is with high potency low nutrient dense vitamin supplements. When someone comes in with a “Stress B Complex” bragging of 50mg of every B vitamin. What I see is a chemical cocktail which disrupts metabolism.
