Preface
This
text is given to everyone interested in good health and long life upon
this planet, earth. However most of
us and particularly Christians have always sought the solutions to living
throughout the ages and most times have concluded the true answers for
mankind in life are embedded in spiritual teaching and values found the
Bible. We have often realized that God has given man the rule of life over
himself in that man is often considered the captain of his soul and the
master of his fate. That is not to say that man is to rely fully upon his
own self-help in matters of his health, mental or spiritual. When it comes
to a study or understanding of man’s health, there are situations that
call for a background knowledge of man’s physiological functioning.
However, medical self-help is definitely not recommended in most
medical situations. This is particular true when it comes to bodily
injury or other such emergencies. Of course, in many emergencies, there are steps that can and
should or must be taken if possible by someone who has a medical knowledge
of procedures before the doctor arrives; however, this volume of study
will cover some of these steps and perhaps explains in some brief details
a few simply accepted medical procedures that if applied before a Doctor
arrives can very well save a person life; such as in cases of water
drowning, certain types of poisoning, certain body injuries, as snake
bits, etc.
Looking
at man in search of health from a natural and biblical sense
Often,
Humanity is aware that God’s offers in His teaching to man the pillars
of life in every sphere. We were made for eternity and there is an
incompleteness of knowledge in temporal things alone and in temporal
knowledge of earthly things; thus often-modern man finds himself unable to
satisfy the eternal quest and need in their inner selves on an earthly
plane. Often the teachings of scriptures of the Old Testament and the New
Testament stand as man final solutions in his theological, spiritual and
physical search for wellness. There is in every man or woman an
ever-increasing need to understand the total need about himself or herself
upon the planet. The bible is remotely a teaching
not bound by time or space, and incomparable to any other teaching of
truth regarding the facts of life in both man’s spiritual and physical
being. When we search for a scientific knowledge, ideology or theology for
mankind whether in the scientific, spiritual or physical, this answer can
only be found in an embodiment of the teaching found in the Bible. The
biblical understanding of God interwoven into the fabric of mankind gives
a total sense and knowledge of man-self upon the planet. This involves our
living in the physical, spiritual and mental world and the meaning in that
life is physical, mental and spiritual. We should have knowledge of our
human triune nature as well as we should have an awareness of this nature
in us.
One
hundred and twenty years
Often,
very few of us know God’s promises us a life span with a specific
duration of years of life upon the planet. In the Bible, the book of
Genesis chapter six and verse three it states, “And
the Lord said, my spirit shall not always strive with man, for he also is
flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years (upon the
earth).” In this passage, the word from the Lord for man’s days of
life upon the earth is 120
years.
Why is life so significantly shorter than what
God has promised? Does that promise hold true for today? Has humankind in
some ways or perhaps in many ways made void their right to life the years
promised by God? We will endeavor to find an answer to these questions in
this text.
There
has never been a better time to study natural health than now. More than
ever, people are becoming aware that God gave Israel in the Torah many
years ago understanding and knowledge about the laws of nature and living
healthy prosperous lives – in His declarations of dietary laws, morals,
laws, etc. As we face increased chemical, radiation, and surgical
treatments as remedies for our growing health problems, we are asked if
there are alternatives or not, are these ways always the answer. With
medical costs increasing, an increasing number of people are looking for
alternatives; we
will refer to the Bible as it set forth unequivocally divine laws about
man’s health and divine laws governing his health upon the earth. God is
the Eternal, Infinite, Ruler and Creator of the universe with absolute
power over man and His creation. With this truth as our underlining fact,
we seek without restraints to fully understand and relate the
administrations of God and His divine’s methods of administration as
given to us in health and life. In our several quotations from scriptures,
we have chosen to use the King James and the Authorized Version, excluding
a few rendering of the Revised Version where scripture is more familiar
and more preferred. It
will be emphasis in this book that the truths
of physical and spiritual laws found in theology and doctrines are vital
to understand our trek toward good health (this will include moral and
natural laws); they are important to the present and eternal well being of
men and women lives. It is given as a fact, a science, and Godly
understanding to help our total wellness. The fact remains that medical
science exclusive given to health as applied to mankind is and should far
excels any other study in both temporal and materials matters on the earth
regarding health. The study presented in the book is the truth of how
vital preventive studies for good
health is
needed and the increasing importance of it as an on-going study to us as a
revelation of life in the now, as well life that is to come. We will study
the Creator's Laws that He has provided a preventive study of health many
years in advance for us to know as a guide to healthy living.
It is vital to our present well being to know the path to good
health and procedures of prevention for wrongful health practices leading
to illness and physical death. I have introduced in this text such a study
and as well a search for more realization that good health is earned and
not simply primary a result of chance. We are aware of inherited physical
disadvantages, or as we refer to them as hereditary
illness and diseases and an awareness of such illness existing on
one behalf without their ability to prevent or perhaps warded off.
I hope to have presented a positive, constructive and clear
understanding in this approach to preventive, healing and natural health.
The science of health and medicine is not violate in this text but is
relied upon and respected as true facts in good healthy living and answers
for us. In these writings, there is a systematic and a logical approach to
study, arrangement of certified facts. I do not present a dogma, or
opinion regarding good health but rather a statement of the truths about
our good health and wellness. We have no conscious effort or purpose of a
complete study of good health, ill health nor have I presented in this
text a general conclusion of such. Our brief aim in this volume and
subsequent works we have rendered is to present an educational and
systematic study about humans and their health in view of what we term as
natural health and natural healing. With regard to the many differences
among critical acclaim natural health healers, scholars and Doctors of
natural health, we are guided by the foundation truths found in general
health laws and medical facts. First, the laws as given to us in Medical
Science and Practices of medicine; secondly, laws as given to us in the
natural health. These general practices are left oral and written. We
present this text not in a controversial or apologetic manner; we are here
to aid in more healthy living and prolong life as well as provide an
increased awareness for more healthy study and results through the
knowledge provided in the text. Again, with regard to our current medical
laws, teachings and ideals, we violate none. We must make this clear.
Some of the practices are historical and its message is not out
dated or out molded. The truth is, at the very heart of good health is
good understanding and knowledge. Christianity and its views urge such
knowledge. A good Christian should practice the laws of good health.
