Thrill of Victory

We have all heard the oft-quoted refrain, “thrill of victory, agony of defeat.” One of the first questions I want to ask God: why the committed, convinced, concerned followers of His Son, our blessed Lord, are so afflicted in this present world: troubles, trials, temptations, part of the package of sin? The spirit in the world, during my lifetime: churches celebrating self instead of God, projecting self instead of Christ, politicians projecting self instead of country, the attitude of most people in the world that “it is nobody's business what I do”, “if it feels right, do it”, “I don't want anyone telling me what to do.” As if you can drive down a busy highway without regard for laws or rules of any type.

One of Grimm's fairy tales describes our situation best. The story of the agreement between the cat and the mouse. They had a jar of jelly, and the two decided that they would share it. The cat with the “big I, little U” mentality, bigger appetite, ate more of the jelly than the mouse, paid little attention to the protestations of the mouse, finally ate the mouse. On the farm, I would often notice our big barn cat with a small mouse in the yard. The cat would play with mouse, allow the mouse to start running off, then reach over and pull the mouse back. The cat had already found that a mouse was much tastier after the mouse's neurons were sufficiently afflicted. The animal autonomic response of fight or flight.

Life involves heading down a busy highway, intensified by those keeping and breaking rules. The Christian knows there is a final exit, the splendors of eternity with God. We are not citizens in this place, our citizenship is in heaven, we are just passing through, foreigners, acting different, speaking different, dressing different (1 Peter 2:9). In this life we must deal with the world, the flesh, the devil. Few thrills of victory, knowing the agony of defeat, the tares taking over even the church of Christ. The thrill of victory is later.

Our lifestyle is different, our body is a temple, not a garbage dumpster. Every religion in history has believed in fasting (an internal shower). Eating is mostly a matter of habit, too many overeat, calories instead of nutrition, leads to obesity and diabetes. There must be a detoxification, cleansing of the human body through fasting and the eating of nutritious food. I am convinced that sickness should be unknown to a Christian. Correctly treated, your body is able to heal itself, God put everything we need for healing on earth, available to our physical spiritual and emotional ability. Fasting is your greatest physician within. If you eat correctly, you will not burden yourself with the physical problems of arthritis and joint replacement.

As I child, I remember the cider mill, an ancient apparatus used by my ancestors to process apples from the great orchard on our farm, to convert apple cider into vinegar. Like everything else of historical interest on that farm, it was all thrown away. The cider was kept in barrels, people would come from far and wide to buy that apple cider. During the many years I was away in school and military, my family who had no appreciation whatsoever for history, ditched every valuable thing on the plantation, and now I understand, the land itself. I know of nothing any better for the body than apple cider vinegar, you can tell the real thing because it will have a “mother”, celluose containing acetic acid bacteria. Using apple cider vinegar in the water you drink, on your food and many other ways, will give you good health.

I was acquainted with old country doctors of 60-70 years ago, who mostly used food for treatments. Dr. H.M. Stenhouse, one of my friends who ran for Congress when he was 100 years old in 1990, prescribed food as medicine. I knew others such as Dr. Strosneider, Dr. Crawford, Dr. Pierson, all old doctors who prescribed food, not toxic chemicals. Now there is a drug store on every corner making drug addicts of the population. Western medicine, Big Pharma has transmuted health care into an expensive process of body energy being taken up trying to rid itself of toxicity. There is real victory in healthy living.

There is real victory in decent living. We understand that two of the crudest men to ever enter the oval office were Lyndon Johnson and Bill Clinton...sexual activity in the Oval Office. Disregard for the feelings of anyone and everyone because they were president. I am told that Lyndon Johnson was the crudest man ever to walk the earth, on his ranch, urinating in public, even in front of the press corp. He would bring dignitaries into the bathroom for a conferences even while he sat on the commode. Rules of etiquette and decency that applied to other people, did not apply to him, and so it is with Madoff, bin Laden, or even the Bushes. Secret Service protection has increased 400% since Obama took office. Winning anything, even the presidency of a country, is not always a sign of victory (Gaddafi, Mubarak, Carter, Clinton, Mao, Saddam Hussein).

Learn early in life not to confuse accomplishment with success, think of Helen Keller and Madonna. You would agonize with defeat of the morals on an immoral earth, corruption in government, the frustration of religiosity in church, indifference in education, scams and squalor in business. Take each day one at a time, with every semblance of real happiness you can find. Time on this earth, even at best is very short. Your victory comes after the fight is over. O victory in Jesus, My Savior, forever....He plunged me to victory, beneath the cleansing flood. (Victory in Jesus, Hymn)

Pollyanna

Many use the word Pollyanna without knowing its meaning, perhaps no more important word in one's vocabulary, it is a bias toward encouragement, positive thinking and actions, psychological expedience. I remember that even during the depths of the Great Depression, women at the church, in the community, provided a system of Pollyanna, whereby they would give one another gifts, something crocheted, produced from the garden, baked goods, to one another, showing their love, concern, a way of encouragement.

The most effective tool Satan has in his arsenal of weapons, is his weapon of discouragement. If he can just put discouragement in the heart of an individual, anchor defeatism in the mind, he has accomplished something with the satanic forces of darkness, that only the power of God can remove. Many of us live our entire lives without much encouragement. I can say without fear of contradiction, in all honesty, that I have never had one word of encouragement from one relative, one classmate, one pastor or Christian...all those who you would think would be the first to offer such to one who is blind, living alone, honored God, family, and country. Every pastor, every family member, who ever came to me as a patient, or for whom I did any type business, always received a professional discount, hundreds of them. I could count on the fingers of one hand, the times I received a “thank you”. Years ago in my life, when I could see, I would always write a personal letter to the family of anyone who died, telling of my relationship with the person, pleasant memories. I never once, not once, was thanked for such remembrance.

In Pasadena, California, lawyer John Kralik changed his life by writing thank you notes to everyone he could remember who had affected his life, his book 365 Thank Yous, describes how he wrote a thank you note every day for one year, the responses he received and how it affected his own living. Classic etiquette teaches that one responds to kindness. I remember every teacher, every professor, just as important in my life, those who were kind to me in places of business, waitresses, clerks in stores, the automobile mechanics, people who need a Pollyanna lift in their life.

I give a large part of my income for God's Work, churches, college awards and scholarships. It embarrasses me as a Christian, to tell you how few times I have been thanked for such. As Mark Twain said, “good manners cost so little.” Every time parents introduce me to their young son, I always take his hand because I never know what type hand I am holding, a future surgeon, pianist, mechanic, pastor, therapist of some sort. I learned long ago, not to display my genuine faith, but under my breath I think, “God, I give this young man to you, regardless of his family, the world, the flesh, the devil.” Because, most will have to make it on their own, but “one man plus God and anything is possible.” Slowly but surely, the once Christian America is sinking into the abyss of Godlessness. I have visited the Godless, communist countries of the world, know the forsakeness of depending on government. Perhaps the most totally dependent people are the Chinese. The Chinese government is sending colonies of their people into foreign countries, 1 million into Africa alone; Canada, especially Vancouver is practically taken over by the Chinese.

BBC gave a program recently on chicken farmers in Zambia, Africa. Classic, communal, authoritarian communism...and they know nothing else, has taught them to work hard, to stay in good health. So much of the world has become so careless in their health, they treat the temple of God, their body, like a garbage can. God's Word, the Bible, the answer book, instructs us about food and everything else (Genesis 1:27-31). We eat vegetables with seed, not this genetically-modified seed-less hybrid trash. The Chinese eat raw or steamed vegetables with seed, quality meat. Many of you eat cereals where the box has more nutrition than the cereal in the box. There are more laxatives sold in stores than any other thing sold over the counter. This problem is mostly a matter of water. The most addictive substance known to man is sugar, your fast food place sprinkles, not only your french fries, but your meat with sugar. 3 teaspoons of sugar will shut down your immune system for six hours. Sugar is cheap, keep everything white out of your diet, sugar, flour, salt.

Start dietary restrictions when children are young, study the statistics about the number of fat children in our nation and the percentage of diabetes. Diabetes was a rare condition when I was in school, so were STDs, so was cancer. Microbes, including cancer, always thrives in a low PH medium. The greatest thing for your body is to detoxify, to cleanse, to fast. The homeostasis of your body is rhythmic, your body is accustomed to your routine, your attachment to certain foods, even certain prescription drugs. Just as you need an interruption, a vacation, so your body needs to escape the steady rhythm, purring of your system. Learn to fast for several days, cleanse with water and pure juices, detoxify with raw, fresh vegetables. Keep leeching plastics, chemical additives (chloride, fluoride found in most water systems) out of your body. Most of the time, the body will heal itself, most of the time you can live with good health. Life depends on your comfort zone, you constantly move toward God, or your are in free fall away from him. Thankfulness, goodness, giving is not just Pollyanna. Defying pride, what is expected of us as human beings.

Behind the Curtain

My college roommate's wife called me, she said, “I wanted you to know about Robert's death. He was found dead in his hotel room in Las Vegas, you know he had a marvelous medical practice, a marvelous family, two sons as doctors, but he could not resist gambling. He had become completely addicted to gambling. I remembered what he had said to me, 'most of us think we know one another, but we really do not, there is a difference in the outer man and the inner man', the inner man is known only unto God, the public, even one's family and friends, knows only the veneer, the outer man.” I think this is the reason many people are so addicted to their pets, the pet has nothing to hide, what you see in the pet is what you love, and the pet has an unconditional love.

On the farm, we had several barn cats, big cats, emperors of the barn. I pity the child who has never seen a large mother cat move her babies from one place to another, carrying them in her mouth. I pity the biologist who has never seen a large cat torture a small mouse. The genome of the mouse is not very different from that of man, only about 5%. This is the reason rats can be used in medical research; the physiology, neurology of the rat so akin to that of the human being.

The cat always tortures the mouse for a while...never kills him immediately, the mouse is much tastier, desirable once his neurology has been excited. The autonomic nervous system of fight or flight takes effect, the mouse is more desirable after aggravation. Satan, the government, their persecution complex, thinks man is more adaptable and desirable after aggravation. The mouse will take off running, thinking he is escaping, the cat just reaches out with his paw and drags him back, the cat knows what goes on behind the curtain and gets a vicarious thrill from this “feline” activity. I have seen the same thing take place in the African bush, the Katahari, with large lions and wildebeests. The lions always enjoy torturing prey.

We learned long ago, first discovered with Arabian horses, that if a pedigreed animal were ever impregnated by an animal of lower genetics, there are certain “blood prints”, morphology remaining in the pedigreed animal so that signs of lesser pedigree always show up, even after many births with other pedigreed animals, this happens with dogs and many other pedigreed animals. Pedigree papers do not often tell the entire story. We are learning now that children do not like to find the word “donor” in their ancestry. Children get no thrill in knowing that some young man, old enough to have sperm, left sperm in a cup in a bathroom, then used to fertilize his biological mother. Children want an ancestry, God designed the family correctly, God designed the child correctly, not to be a product of science.

I am convinced that deep within the recesses of man, there are shadows in the biology, it is not just good genes, a good immune system, but very important, good intestines, that lead the road of a long life. It is so necessary to look behind the curtain in every life activity, no matter what your destiny becomes. President John F. Kennedy looked behind the curtain in Washington, and saw things which had been hid from him, pertaining to “shadow government”. Rothschild, Rockefeller, umbra over the oil and financial world, then penumbra of silver, gold, and fiat money transactions, I believe this led to his death. Admiral James Forrestal, Admiral Jeremy Boorda, General George Patten, and others looked behind the curtain, knew too much.

I will never understand, how and why anyone can live in this uncertain world without faith in God. Everything in our mental, logic system proves the genuineness, greatness, guarantor of our Creator. Every day, in some way, you escape death, a tree limb does not fall on you, lightning does not strike you, a chemical reaction in your body does not fell you. Driving down the four lane, or even two lane highway, certain death from an approaching, speeding car is just six feet away, if there is a mechanical defect. Think of the people who take statin drugs (cholesterol control), their temporary amnesia. I can think of nothing more dangerous for the human body than statin drugs, as an effort to control cholesterol, or aspartame (artificial sweeteners), preservatives, and other chemicals that “rot” the brain.

The three big ones: heart attack, cancer, stroke are almost superseded by those affected by Alzheimer's. The worse condition I have ever experienced, other than being totally blind, using a statin drug for control of cholesterol. Like many patients, such drugs really affect the mind...memory loss, amnesia. What you put in your mouth so affects your body, why is that so hard to understand? Worse than toxic, polluted food and drink, exotic chemicals from ”big pharma” not helping you, but making the doctor, pharmacist and manufacturer very rich. Look behind the curtain, you know your body more than anyone else. Never before in history, has the average man actually had the ability to research and study pathologies as well as treatments. The time you spend watching garbage, could be better spent studying, researching, praying. The average young person spends 53 hours a week watching electronic media. There is not one question about anything in life that the answer cannot be found in God's “love letter”, laws to his chief creation, mankind. God's design always works best.

Look behind the curtain, the exotic estranged chemicals you are putting in your body whether prescribed or otherwise, are slow death.

Look behind the curtain, the garbage you are being fed mentally by media and your children in their schools is slow death.

Look behind the curtain, the feel-good, “nothing is wrong with you or me”, “God is too picky”, “all you need is love”, the Bible is all mixed up, forms of religiosity, are slow and certain death. Has your church just become a morgue with a steeple?

Hearing and Healing

#675

My mother had four children. Three were up in age, I was already in college when the last was born. I remember one of my mother's friends, talking about that perfect last baby saying, “your mother's babies always smell so good”. I remember, she, in changing him, always used so much baby powder.

Traveling the world, I never saw a mother who did not show absolute love for her baby. The difference, so many of the mothers in these poor, third world countries could not afford baby powder, even food for the baby. But, I am convinced, that in most of the world, mothers do the very best they can for their baby in spite of everything. In fact, I believe that even in the Communist world, where forced abortions are a matter of daily life, mothers suffer in the loss of a child. Abortion is the most insane act known to mankind. Killing is always an act of insanity but the killing of innocent life, especially by a mother of her own child, is insanity beyond comprehension, something that the lower animals never do.

There is much insanity in sickness. It is not sane for the body to be sick. The body has a remarkable ability to heal itself. It is our own confusion, our own in-discreteness that we have contagion or illness. When will we learn to protect our immune system? Instead of eating junk, when will we learn to eat nutritious, benefiting foods that will supplement the homeostasis of the body? A depleted physiology cannot provide the energy necessary for life. Most foodstuffs, even those presented well in the grocery store, are bereft of all life giving products for cell metabolism. The circulatory system transports nutrition to the cells but the neurology of the body screams for help. We eat but stay hungry because the digestive system is sending trash for assimilation. The fat cells just keep expanding. Those specializing in weight control, and joint replacement, get rich off our inability to understand the healthy lifestyle. God help the hoax of dieting and the purveyors of these various diet styles.

America has the greatest hospitals, the greatest doctors, and health specialists of every type, the world has ever known. More American taxes are spent educating healthcare professionals than is spent on any other type education. Yet, we have more sickness than any time in history. According to the Office of Actuary Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, news from the insurance industry is very hard to get, the U.S. spent $2.26 trillion on sick care in 2007. This is more than any other country in the world (World Health Organization).

I have traveled through 157 countries of the world, every continent. Always, without exception, my guide wanted me to observe healthcare in the country visited. On Easter Island, an island isolated 800 miles off the coast of Chile in the Pacific ocean, there was a beautiful hospital, a gift from America. NOT ONE PATIENT IN THE HOSPITAL. Moving around the island, I found the people healthy and happy. They exercised, played in the sun, ate nutritious food … mostly seafood and vegetables. They told me, “when we get sick we eat food to get well”. In other commentaries, I have told of my relationship with old doctors who used food as treatment. Today, even the poorest Americans, do not think they are getting any treatment unless, some doctor starts writing a prescription for some expensive chemicals. Often, with family or friends, I would suggest some holistic remedy but they, knowing so little, would immediately spoof the idea because their pocketbook had not been sufficiently massaged by big pharmacy.

I am convinced that more Americans die from overeating than under-eating … starvation. I am offended to go to a public meeting of any sort, church, civic club, educational and see supposed informed people gorging themselves with food … Gluttons of prosperity.

When I was young, I never saw a buffet. Today, you can go to most any restaurant, most public functions, and there are just trays of decaying, useless food to which people are going to pile up plates … someone coming by to take the empty plate while you fill another. Then, at the end of this exercise in intemperance you have a large plate of sweet deserts … The very worst thing you could eat because only the body free of sugar can possibly be cancer free. Life in America, largely because of our intemperance in living, leads to slow but sure suicide.

I am offended to go to a funeral, where the family, are sitting around grieving by eating. I have relatives who make it a point to visit every deceased family just at noon so they will be included in the gluttony. I have been on ships, mostly an eating orgy where five times a day there is a dining room call, a ritual of gluttony in temperance. You see wide-bottomed men and women lined up as if they are going to miss something … “the last supper”. Don't they know the stress it puts on the 2000 miles of blood vessels in their body for this vital muscle, the heart to push blood through these vessels, the excess tissue brought on by excess weight. Most older people could live well eating their food off a saucer three times a day. Over 50% of the population, younger as well as older, now obese, 50% now diabetic.

I get sickened, in a church or civic group, to hear anyone talk about the intemperance of tobacco use. I get sickened to hear intemperate eaters talk about their friends who abuse alcohol. More Americans dig heir grave with a fork than ever smoke or drink themselves into it. Please, please, please don't let me hear about a fat preacher, a fat doctor, a fat nurse, a fat school teacher. These should set the example … health and healing.

Most people who eat, don't know why they are eating, they are not hungry. Eating has become a social thing. Most churches even have an eating orgy at prayer meeting. There are more alcoholics today than at any other time in the history of the world. It is truly an expensive disease, you spend much money to get it.

The worst insanity of them all, pedophilia or the molestation of children. Why in the world would any sane adult care to sexually malign a small child … Total insanity for a priest, preacher or teacher? What possible satisfaction could any adult get from even looking at a suggestive sexual picture of a small child? Does not a priest, preacher, teacher, parent or relative understand the sensitivity of abusing the body and feelings of a small child with sexual inappropriateness? Sexuality is confusing enough to most children, don't you remember this yourself?

Christ has told us the penalty for abusing a small child. “It is better to be dropped into the bottom of the ocean with a rock around your neck”.

In history, we study the great battles of the world. How well we remember the Bataan Death March, the Battle of Corregidor, the Battle of the Bulge. I have seen the destroyed American ships still in the bay at Guadalcanal. Today's battles revolve around lust, one of the seven greatest sins of mankind … lust for children, lust for food, lust for drugs.

Perhaps the greatest lust we are facing in America is the lust for power … That's shown by the lustful creature in the White House and the lustful creatures of congress and voters who put him there. Can you even imagine his laughing at the despicable White House correspondence dinner when he talked about predator drones and his own daughters? Does this man of low reputation and lower skills have any idea of the horror story he is perpetrating on the people of Afghanistan and Pakistan with predator drones … The horror story he is perpetrating on innocent babies as their bodies are torn apart in the abortion holocaust he is promoting around the world?

Healthcare is getting more expensive every minute of every day. With the projected Obama plan, everyone will pay ahead of time and everyone will want to get his money's worth. You are fortunate indeed if your doctor touches you now. After the vitals have been taken by an assistant, your doctor mostly depends on the computer and in the future you will seldom see him. It will all be done via microchip embedded in your body and trained assistants interpreting SOP (Standard Operating Procedures). Most large corporations (John Deere, AT&T, DuPont etc.) are canceling previous insurance and throwing all employees at the mercy of government, socialized healthcare. It is cheaper for them to pay fines than to undergo the intemperate, insane dictates of government mandates.

With today's technology, people, if smart, will learn to take care of themselves. Babe Ruth had 714 home runs but struck out 1,340 times. Thomas Edison tried 1000 experiments before perfecting the light bulb. We are glad he did. You may have to try several things for your health problem. The best way to approach any problem is the triangle. You can do it as well as an assistant in your doctors office.

With the insanity of global warming, the insanity of abortion, the insanity of child molestation, the insanity of one world government, the blessed promise of our blessed Lord taking our healing as well as our sins to the cross in his atonement seems more sane and precious than ever before.

“But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” (Isa 53:5)

The prophecy found in Isaiah, written 700 years before the birth of Christ assures believers that our blessed Lord's healing as well as forgiveness is ours for the taking. Don't cheat yourself from this “hearing and this healing”.

Earth Day

#565

Today is Earth Day, a day set aside since 1970 to celebrate the environment, the fullness and goodness of mother Earth. Earth Day was started by Senator Gaylord Nelson. The day is celebrated in every country on Earth at present time.

Until the year 1900, most of the world's populations lived in rural areas. Before the time of the Industrial Revolution in the late 1800s, almost all children were exposed to the sanctity of the Earth. How well I remember, as a child, the first day my mother would let us go barefoot. Having worn shoes all winter, the dirt felt so good to my feet … it still does. It is unfortunate that most children are not reared on a farm today … then they would know the sacredness of dirt … soil in which seeds grow … God having put every element, every mineral into the Earth for life, flora or fauna.

If the crust of the Earth were gold, men would lie, cheat, steal and kill for a handful of dirt. We put a value on scarce things. In the collectibles business, in which I have been involved most of my life, only something scarce, one of a kind, is worth something. Most collectors, spend their entire life just waiting for that one rare item to appear … something which they can sell for much money … a hand written letter from a famous person, a painting from a renowned artist, a sculpture or woodwork from someone who had his own method … never to be duplicated.

There is nothing about the good Earth that can be duplicated. Every element, every mineral, every herb, every rock formation needed to sustain life is present in the Earth. From the Earth, God made man. He breathed into man life and a soul. (Gen 2:7) Every element, in the periodic table has never changed … the atomic weights of every element still the same, you find in the body of a human being. It is just in recent years that the scientist and healthcare field has decided that dirt is good for people. The children who worked on the farm, who sweated, the largest organ of the human body, the skin, coming in to direct contact with dirt, stayed very healthy. One treatment of some diseases today consists of eating clay. Many farm people lived their entire life without ever having gone to a doctor and then it was a country doctor who had enough sense to know the healing qualities of food … grown from the Earth. Today, just about every element and everything good for life, plants or animal, has been leeched from the soil. Artificial fertilizers are instilled into the soil which encourage plant growth but these plants, so bereft of the homeostasis, life giving qualities, you can easily starve to death. The greatest thing you can do for your health is to take supplements daily that you can no longer find in food.

When the two and a half million children of Israel, ex slaves, left Egypt at Kadesh-Barnea they were just a few days travel from the promise land … a land God had told them was filled with “milk and honey”. At one time in this world, the countryside was filled with “milk and honey” … cows eating green nutritious grass, giving nutritious milk, honey bees gleaning the pollen from nutritious flowers … everyone drinking clean, pure water (this was before the time of the poisons of fluoride and chlorine). But, these people, like today's people, thought they knew best and God provided their needs over the next 40 years as they wandered and fell in death in the desert. We feel that Monsanto knows best (and other such chemical conglomerates), hybrid seed, genetically engineered plants, seedless fruits … and we wonder why everyone stays ill. In India alone, 183,000 farmers have committed suicide. They stopped using the seed indigenous to their country, seed adapted to times of drought etc. and started using genetically engineered seed which could not withstand the erratic seasons of India. Failing, crop after crop, the farmer's only exit was death … leaving behind wives and children in this Pagan country.

A person who has never studied history will have little appreciation for Europe. One who has never studied music will have little appreciation for the Opera. One, who has never studied the human body, will have little appreciation for health, the magnificence of God's chief creation, the human body.

I have found, in my long eventful life, that most people put up barriers of ignorance and like to live behind those barriers. There is nothing as pathetic in this world as ignorance. They love to throw in your face, “I do not believe in holistic healthcare”. I want to go to a scientist who has spent his life studying chemicals, their effect on tissue and now spends his time trying to correct what chemicals have done to the body through cancer and other such deadly translucence.

During the past 20 years, even the ignorant academics have finally learned the importance of greenness … nutrition of green, raw plants, life giving photosynthesis of green air (too bad they did not indoctrinate their God, Mr. Al Gore with this knowledge). In England, vines are grown to completely cover buildings.

In the green indoctrination, citizens are asking government to do as much as they do. As with everything else, especially this monstrosity healthcare legislation the government is always behind. Nowhere in this “sick care' legislation do we find intentions to qualify holistic care. It is is with poultices, charcoal, herbs, that we find cures for most ailments. This is the way our ancestors did it. In God's answer book, the Bible, you find everything you need in treatment of health. When will sensible, hard working, God fearing people learn not to put toxins in their body … slow suicide?

[[A Psalm of David.]] The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. (Psalm 24:1)

David gave us these words one thousand years before Christ. The prophets, priests, poets of old knew the critical value and nature of the Earth.

All the ignorance of the world is related to the Devil, not to God.

Your circle of personality includes you mind, spirit and soul.

Without God, you cannot know God. Without the Holy Spirit if God within your body your soul is not magnified. We will all experience clinical death, but our soul, our personality, will live forever. Most Earth Day people do not understand the significance of the Earth, like everything spiritual, foolishness to him.

Life is in the blood. (Lev 17:11) Nutrition is distributed to the cells of your body through the blood … the elements and oxygen your body needs particularly for the brain and central nervous system. One half minute after your brain does not get this nutrition the brain dies. It is essential, that from the good Earth, the nutrition provided by the Earth, our blood being enriched for a life of service to the one who gave us life. Now I know, modern schools and education teaches “from the goo to the zoo to you”. Some smart scientists have tried to manufacture life. Not then, not now, not ever will any scientist manufacture life. Your very life depends on your relationship with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit who gave us everything we need for life.

See how many Earth Day commentaries you can find like this?

Cognitivism

#560

Cognitivism

In the advertising world of slogans and jingles the most popular slogan ever used is, “Friends don't let friends drive drunk”. The effectiveness of this slogan was recognized immediately because there was a decline in drunk driving. In 1982 the fatalities from drunk driving were 26,173. In 2008 fatalities from drunk driving were 13,146, one half, which probably shows the effectiveness of the slogan launched in 1984. For those killed on the highways because of a drunk driver, for the loved ones of those killed on the highways because of a drunk driver, this offers little empathy. But, it still shows the importance of the mental process.

From the beginning of time, Eve was reasoning in her mind about an answer for the serpent or whether, as she should have, told the serpent that her husband would handle the decision. The first couple could not handle the most basic rule, only ONE rule, not to eat of the fruit of ONE tree. Think of the millions before the flood, reasoning to handle things according to natural law. Think of the Hebrew people, after Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses handling the laws given by the hand of God, on the other side of the cross. Think of the followers of Christ, the early Church, living according to the parameters given by Christ, written by Paul and the other Apostles. Think of the galaxy of knowledge etched into the minds of frail human beings during the stone age, bronze age, iron age and all the layers of intelligentsia since. As Einstein said about the universe, the most incomprehensible thing about it, it is comprehensible.

The largest library in the world is the American Library of congress with 23,218,000 books. More incomprehensible, all these books are now available at your fingertips, online. Equally incomprehensible, with the thousands of books I have in my personal library, my antiquarian book collection, I can put any book on sale online, and almost instantaneously this book is available to be bought on millions of sites around the world. Such is the grandeur of man's wisdom not to be contrasted or compared to the grandeur of the wisdom of God. Just think, every snowflake that has ever fallen, different, designed specifically by an omnipotent, sovereign creator of the universe. Just think, over 6 billion human beings living today, equaled to all those who have lived since the flood of 4790 B.C., and the billions who lived before the flood … no two with the same thought process, the same flex in the iris of the eyes, the same fingerprints, the same voice. We are wired to comprehend this vast amount of knowledge.

It is well known by those who study these things that man only uses a small percentage of his total mental ability. We have heard the slogan of the United Negro College Fund, “The mind is a terrible thing to waste”. How despicable it is that so many waste theirs through mind altering drugs, insipid trash filtered through the eyes, ears, taste, all senses. Pitiful the human being who poisons his mental faculties with chemicals such as artificial sweeteners, satanic music, addictive lipids of pornography and derogatory simulations.

Don't be beguiled by the psychologist of the psychiatrist. Your mental health depends on you. Brain exercises such as the playing of chess or bridge, memorizing, bringing back to the forefront memories of the past. For the Christian, memorization of God's word is an essential. Fasten securely, childhood memories, experiences during poverty, travel and family experiences. There is no reason for any person, leaving off addictive barbiturates. Beware of general health. There is no reason for anyone to go through the living death of senile dementia. Stay active, as much as is possible with your physical condition. Exercise properly. Don't give into the drudgery of an unkempt condition. Even if you cannot see your condition dress for success. Approach each day as a new “kid on the block” … ready to meet and greet, profile and defile those who will drag you down. You are God's workmanship (Eph 2:10), young, old, tarnished or shining.

Many of us were blessed with a photographic mind, instant recall of every life activity. In my store house of knowledge, I can see every warp or woof encountered during the past 75 years which I really want to remember. Like your computer, don't embed the trifling trash. Bleed out the excess baggage. Guard the windows of your soul (eyes). Your life is your own, you were chosen by God.

Read the love chapter of the bible (1Cor 13). You have faith, hope and love. The greatest thing you can have in your brain is love. “God is love”.

City Upon a Hill

One of the great visual delights of the world is to fly over a great city of the world at night and witness the lights such as Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro, Chicago and certainly New York City. When Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers and he was in the shackles of his slave masters (the very iron shackles which must have given him an immunity against sin) and the antigens which see him through a life, putting him near the top of God's heroes. He could probably see the lights of Hebron and his 17 year old heart must have been crushed. A City Upon a Hill was used by our blessed Lord in his Sermon on the Mount. The Sea of Galilee is perhaps the most famous body of water in the world. I have been around the sea several times, it is 39 miles long and about 17 miles wide. This mountain where the beatitudes was preached is near the sea. Christ was speaking to believers in this sermon: "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden." (Matthew 5:14).

The three great cultures in the history of the world. The Greek, in which we have so much literature. The Roman, in which we have so much history, and the American, in which have so much confusion. We are still a young culture, 230 years is a young country. In the past 70 years, the keyword has been “out”. Gays have come “out” of the closet. Religion has come “out” of the schools. Integrity has come “out” of government, servitude has come “out” of the Church. We bailout failure, give handouts to the lazy, shellout to our foreign enemies and generally speaking taxpayers are soldout.

The greatest spin-out in history is the attempt to convince everyone that we are physically sick. In this time of health care legislation, when 1/7^th of the total revenues of this country will be spent on sick care, the government, the media, everyone, has convinced the public that we are all sick. There is no reason that anyone should be sick. God's word has given us a lifestyle, method of preventing illness, which if followed, would keep everyone well. Such diseases as diabetes and arthritis are unnecessary. We eat the wrong foods, enjoy bad habits, are prescribed exotic chemicals and expect “this greatest of God's creation” not to rebel at these toxins. The Jewish people, the Islamic people, Bible believers, know God's diet. It is beyond comprehension that one thinks he can eat the worst pork products (chitterlings, lungs, feet, etc.) and expect to stay well. More people die from overeating than die from starvation. With an increase in age, should be a decrease in the ingestion of food. Yet, I have known old people who just gorge themselves, can hardly wait for the next meal. On cruise and expedition ships, there are usually at least five big buffets a day. These elderly, overweight passengers were always in line gorging themselves as if it were “the Last Supper”. The eating of large portions of meat is the greatest stress a human being can put on the body's physiology. I hear of the size of steaks at steakhouses and can only surmise that the eater is a glutton. There is nothing more disgusting than a buffet.

Recently, a product of organic living told me she did not eat commercial apples because they had been sprayed with poisons. She evidently did not think the peelings, the most nutritious part of the apple, could be washed. Right after that, she lit up a cigarette. I told her, that I was reared on an eastern North Carolina tobacco farm. From the time the tobacco seed is put in the ground until the last leaves are harvested, the plant is poisoned every week. The sticky leaves (gum on the leaves) are put into the curing barn where the poison is baked into the leaves. It is in the tobacco leaves that you smoke in cigarettes, chew in chewing tobacco or smoke in smoking tobacco. 500,000 people die in America each year from the habit of smoking cigarettes. The FDA (Federal Drug Administration) is the greatest promoter of disease known to mankind, giving people the idea that we are all sick and they have approved the cure for our sickness. Those in white lab coats are always correct. This fraud President, Obama, made sure the “doctors” who are pushing his “sick” plan, all appeared with him in white clinic coats.

Vegetarians are the only human beings sensible in their eating habits. Next to vitamins B-12 and B-17 we get about all the vitamins and nourishment we need from vegetables. Cultures who eat fish are usually healthy. Every food entering the gullet should be well cooked.

The greatest evil to the diets of mankind has been the generic engineering and modification of plants and animals. Can you even imagine the foolishness of buying seedless grapes and then going to the health food store to get the benefits of grape seed? Potato peelings, as well as the outside of most vegetables and legumes, are a great source of health. Wild berries from the woods and ditch banks are healthy beyond words to describe.

The most dangerous substance known to man, as far as diet is concerned, is aspartame, synthetic sweeteners. We are stupid enough to pay employees in the public school who, supposedly, direct healthy eating for students. Can you even imagine the stupidity of having soft drink machines in the public schools, filled with aspartame and other synthetics, simply because the school officials would rather have the money put into the drink machines than healthy, vibrant students.

Politicians, like school board members, like school officials, like the pharmaceutical industry, like doctors, often even to my sorrow, like parents and preachers, will lead by deception. We are living in a world of deception. God is not mocked and you will not forever be fooled. You will reap what you sow, the light upon the hill still fights the darkness.

Topsy Turvy

Americans who think they are so in love with the idea of socialism and communism have never seen raw communism, what it does to a country, what it does to people. I traveled through the USSR three times while it was textbook communist. I have traveled through mainland China three times, still a textbook communist country. One cannot even imagine what this system of government does to the human mind. The three largest employers in the world, the Chinese Army, the train travel service of India and the British health care system. All socialized, all using enslaved people. When you go to a health facility in England, you realize the disparity in “health care”, or a better word, “disease care”. (In all of the rhetoric in Washington, I have heard little about preventative care. The healthiest people are those who stay away from doctors and hospitals. Who have learned about their own bodies, who have studied available literature about supplements and ways of maintaining their own health).

In communist Cuba, everything, including health care, is under the authoritarian control of the government. The Committee for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR) in the totalitarian control keeps a careful watch on everything a Cuban citizen does. Every street, every road, in the entire country is patrolled. Every dwelling is under scrutiny, you lose all privacy, all freedom. As Dr. Franklin said long ago, “You sacrifice freedom for security and eventually you have neither”.

The signs of fascism, which proceeds communism, is as follows. The government first takes over all media. Who can doubt that we now have a government controlled media in this country. TV, radio, newspapers and to a great extent, slick magazines. If you do not want to get placed on President Obama's enemies list, such as Fox News, and many news reporters and commentators (Glenn Beck, Limbaugh, Alex Jones) you parrot at the directives of the White House. It is a sad commentary that newspapers, such as the New York Times, who has on it's front page, “All the News that's Fit to Print”, now dances to the tune, “Play by the Democrat Party”. Only liberal hogwash is printed in most newspapers. The local newspaper, in this town, is owned by the New York Times. I recently sent a letter to the editor, well written, within the parameters of their guidelines, about the ridiculous amount of money spent by the City Council on an excursion to Washington, DC. The members took their spouses, etc., and spent and spreed all over the Nation's capitol at taxpayer's expense. This at a time when the city is supposedly cutting back. The newspaper refused to print my comments. It should sicken most of you that all news is carefully diced and spiced to suit Mr. Obama and the democrats. It is necessary for me to use shortwave for reliable and credible news. When America's citizens have been sufficiently brainwashed by the media, by the public schools, by the public colleges and universities, the citizens are then ready for fascism.

Next in line is the take over of corporations and the banking and financial systems. The military is usually next on the list and we are seeing almost as many contractual civilian jobs at the battle front and other government agencies as those in uniform. It was significant that drug agents were killed this past weekend in military planes. We are told that there are special forces, military and civilian, operating all over the world. Recently Guinea Bissau and certainly in Somalia. A bewildering development in our present conflicts, both in Iraq and Afghanistan. The terrorist enemy being paid off by tax dollars to change sides. I said to Senator Jesse Helms, when he was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, “The next time we go to war, let's just throw bundles of money at the enemy. It will be far cheaper, and just maybe, they will become as corrupt as our own public officials”. Evidently, someone believes what I said. This is the fascist system, “The end justifies the means”.

Anyone who doubts that fascism has accomplished it's purpose in America, check out your police department. Most are just schoolyard bullies who are now driving fast, expensive cars paid for by the taxpayer, who have about as much knowledge of the laws and empathy of justice as the crucibles of government tyranny permits. The oversight of police, the politics of elected money control. Only the wives and children of these officers with badges and weapons can tell you what they are really like. Yesterday, one with considerable seniority, plead guilty to the sexual abuse of a 4 year old child in the county in which I live. There was a time, sad to say, when the mother of a 4 year old little girl would feel safe in leaving her with a male law officer. But, there was a time when a 7 year old girl in Florida could walk safely from a school bus and, a 15 year old girl could go to a school dance without getting gang raped by about 10 of her peers while another 10 watched.

Fascism has excised from the schools, from the churches, from the decency of human beings, everything that the defenders of a democratic republic holds vital and dear.

Anytime you see “National” or “Federal” in government, you know that those who are paying the bills have surrendered: NIH, NASA, Federal Reserve, FCC, FTC, FDA, FAA, etc. Only those who are willing to “toe the line”, who offer no objections, who support the party, will stay at the trough.

In October 1942, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy gave a memorable show before marines at Quantico, VA. How refreshing it is to hear the sound of male laughter in this recording. Bergen and McCarthy were appearing before real men. Frances Langford, the shapely blond, who was a regular on the show said she had filled out her form to get a new job. The laughter was sincere and manly. I recently attended the funeral of a pastor of 75 years. He died at age 95. Many male pastors were there. When the congregation sang his favorite hymn we expected to hear deep, bass, voices. It was like a woman's chorus. To clean up the fascism from America, it is going to take real, red-blooded men who still love their wives, children and country, who set the example in their community for security and decency. The time for political correctness is over. The gays and the gadflies came out of the closet and now march up and down the streets with “pride”. There is no longer any shame in perversion, prostitution or unwed pregnancy. Due to the slop (liquid garbage) on television, online and on every street in America, our most precious wealth, our children and elderly, are confused and condemned by actions of todays adults. With brooms and mops, pitchforks and carbines, it is time to clean up the home front before our young men and women in uniform are endangered to our war battle front.

Health Gauntlet

In studying health and trying to protect your health, you feel you are running through a gauntlet, being hazed from each side, by those who do know and those who don't know about the importance of health care. One of the first things my physiology professor said in school, the body has a remarkable ability to heal itself. In dealing with patients, this is something I kept uppermost in my mind; although most patients, do not feel they have received any dedicated care, unless they can walk out of your office with a prescription for chemicals, for which they must sweat out much money.

As a university student, working in the medical school at UNC Chapel Hill, (only a 2 year school at the time), having been reared on a farm, I assisted Miss Pickard, the Medical Librarian and Dr. W. C. George, head of the Anatomy Department, with their adjoining farms, (their hobbies when not working at the school.) in discussing being reared in the poverty of an Eastern NC farm, he said, “You poor thing, eating fresh vegetables and drinking fresh well water, I bet you ate berries off bushes in the woods and the ditch banks. You will probably live a long healthy life.” He knew just as other health professionals have learned, that it is what you put in your body, that determines your health, certainly not the genetically engineered and modified vegetables and fruits such as seedless grapes and tomatoes and corn, which is grown with active disease prevention.

Later, in practice, as I have discussed in another commentary, I became acquainted with two old doctors who firmly believed in treating illness with food. One, so opposed to chemicals in drinking water (chloride, fluoride) was a candidate for congress at age 100. God designed food for your knowledge and treatment. Slice the carrot across and see the iris and pupil of the eye looking back at you. Eat foods with seeds and treat all your circulatory problems (strawberries, apples, figs, tomatoes, shaped very much like the heart). Study the layers of the onion under the microscope, they look very much like the tissues of the body; pears are shaped very much like the reproductive system of a female.

The soil of this nation is completely depleted of all minerals. God put every element we would ever need for our living in the soil of the earth. Your body is starving for these elements and that is the reason you are hungry all the time. Just eating the products of fast food and glamorized, radiated, preserved foods will add weight but contributes nothing to your general health. So, one half of the population is obese and most are diabetic. If the body were a battery, it would be 40% depleted. A Chinese maxim says, “If God did not make it, don't eat it.” Another one states, “Eat fresh foods in their season.” You are much better to eat living foods, than dead foods, particularly dead animals. Do you have any idea of the time it takes for you to digest aged steak?

Look in the Bible and determine what you should eat. Like everything else in life, it is the answer book. When patients came to me who were eating pork, particularly such disgusting items, as chitterlings, hogs feet, souse meat, or even sausage, I told them they were “rooting their way into a grave.” There are chemicals in pork which make it very tasty. But any normal, sensible human being with a few brain cells still functioning, would know that there is no animal on earth that is as dirty as a hog. I will give you a written guarantee, that if you eat wieners made of pork, you will become diabetic.

Pain is your friend. When you have pain, it means that there is something definitely wrong. Find the cause of the pain. Do not camouflage the pain with chemicals. Millions are made in orthopedic clinics (since the government pays for it), on joint replacements. Fifty percent of all back surgery results in a worsened condition. But, as I say to everyone seeking hip, knee, etc. replacements, “you know how bad you hurt. But, it is my firm conviction that a reduction in weight and sensible exercise will lead you to keep your God-given joints.” Our genetics are adapted to tropical foods. However, in the winter, there are winter grown foods such as collards and turnip greens which are a blessing to digestion.

Ancestral genes will find you out for several generations. If children grow up seeing beer in the refrigerator, seeing parents drink these damnable, soft diet drinks, expect poor health for many generations. I know of nothing any worse for the human body, than aspartame and sunscreen. The human body must have sunshine, Vitamin D, for survival.

Money from the Rockefeller Foundation has controlled health school education, to the extent that the importance of supplements and clean water and other health disciplines have been left out of the care picture. Remember Senator J. Rockefeller is trying to control the internet, the very place where most citizens learn alternative care. The sheltering of their tax largess from the government to the detriment of other health disciplines besides western medicine, has created, with the help of lobbyists, a consortium of pharmacy greed and medical patronage which has lead health care into the shadows of debauchery.

In the debate about government health care, remember government is a fearful servant, but a much, much more fearful master. The power to tax is a power to deceive. Aldous Huxley speaking at Berkeley in 1962, said, “Get ready for servitude”.

Assembly line medicine, the warts on the present system, by the greed and control of insurance companies, will seem lax for the recipients of Medicare and Medicaid, compared to your loss of all privacy and security with ObamaCare. Number One, the country cannot afford socialized health care. The government is bankrupt. Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are bankrupt. Midwest Free Press reports Medicare is paying out more than it collects and has done so since 2008. The trust fund is only backed by paper. It is so obvious for anyone to understand, even one who is totally blind. I hear alternative practitioners come on the radio, talking about alternative care to chemicals such as homeopathy and chiropractics. Always, without exception, the first caller seeking help for a real problem, usually pain and distress somewhere, will always preface his question by asking, “will insurance pay for this?” For the past 25 years, every time I was in a clinic of any sort, I always asked my driver, “How many people are here? How old are they?” The place was always full of old people, most of whom would not be there if they were paying for the care themselves. How many of your friends actually check the insurance payment to see what was charged? Since the insurance or government was paying for the treatment, they do not care what was charged. You can be sure that if a single tax payer, the government is paying for everything. Most will run to a doctor or hospital for any or everything.

Stay fit. Stay physically fit. Stay emotionally fit. And most important, stay spiritually fit. Remember, our blessed Lord, who died for our sins, died for our healing. By His Stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)
