The Body is the Lord’s
"Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body." (I Cor. 6:13b)
When Cancer Strikes
Caring for our body is a Christian responsibility. For the first 46 years of my life, I lived spiritually clean but gave no thought to healthy eating and nutrition issues. Suddenly in 1981 I was seriously ill with prostate cancer. I remember asking the doctor, a very kind and wise gentlemen, "How bad am I?" He said on a scale of 9, my problem was a 7-8. Death was a very present danger. When the surgery was over, cancer cells reappeared; and I was back in the hospital. Our congregation called an all-night prayer meeting, and my next test was free of cancer cells. To be honest, I have never been back.
The doctor told me a little about eating less red meat and more healthy foods. Someone, and I think it was the same doctor, told me about colon cleansing. I began to search for a product that would cleanse my colon and found something to try from a healthfood store some distance from Charlotte. That was my beginning. I am now 68, and during the last 22 years I have never returned to any doctor (except for stitches) or used any chemical based medicines or vitamins. Please understand that I am not suggesting that you see no doctor or take no medicines. I have had no need of them since I began to eat better and take care of my body.
First, I came to believe that a person’s colon should be kept as clean as their mouth. It is amazing what happens when you keep a healthy colon. Nothing must be allowed to stay in the colon over a long period. I have progressed in my method of keeping the colon clean until the present. We will shortly have an excellent article on this site and in our publication for you to read and consider.
Then I began to study and look for good vitamins and nutritious supplements. Today I take Saw Palmetto for its increase of blood flow to the urinary tracts of my body. I still have minimal problems from the radium treatment to the prostate area. The Saw Palmetto has helped create a more improved health than was present for the ten-plus years after the surgery and treatments. I am told by good information that every man should take a quality brand of Saw Palmetto.
Several years ago I found my memory decreasing and had much mental stress on a regular basis. I discovered "Ginkgo Biloba". I began a regular use of a good brand of this supplement. The results have been marvelous. My mind is presently a whirlwind of exciting study, writing, preaching, video production, visitation, pastoring, President of our Christian School, and planning other wonderful ministries. Ginkgo Biloba increases the blood flow to the brain cavity. Every person can use a little help on the top story.
My son learned about a nutrient that I consider a must. It is "Barley Green" and I am a regular user. This is reported as a "cell builder" for the entire body. From the first week my energy level increased and has never waned. I get mentally tired way before I get physically tired. Barley Green tastes horrible but after a "few months", you get to used to it. I put a tablespoon in my side jaw every morning and drink a glass of hot water to dissolve it. I like to follow with good tasty juice because you need it after tasting the Barley Green.
Before I go on, let me tell you that I am up to 40-50 push ups without stopping. I faithfully work long hours and can hardly stand to see bedtime. I have never felt better in my life.
I have also learned the value of Collodial Silver to defend our body against the barrage of pathogens/germs in our sin-cursed world. Before I made my first trip to Santo Domingo, Dr. Babcock sent me a bottle of Collodial Silver to take before and while I was on my mission trip. There were perfect results on the trip but something occurred that Dr. Babock did not know about. I had suffered with a terrible throat condition from preaching and speaking. The problem had persisted for about 15 years. A doctor wanted to operate and remove nodules but told me I would not be able to preach for a months. As a result of the Collodial Silver, my throat was perfectly healed and is now stronger than ever.
One of the last discoveries I have made with the help of a faithful friend, Dr. Herb Babcock, is "magnesium". My wife has been a diabetic for over 50 years, taking insulin every day since she was 18 years old. She is now 69. She had fallen three times in three years. She broke her femur, her shoulder and stove-up her back. She was on a high dose of calcium to rebuild her bone density. I called Herb to find out the nutrient that could help lower her blood pressure. He told me about her need of magnesium and sent me an excellent little book now available from our bookstore on-line. This book tells how most people have a problem with an inadequate amount of magnesium in the body. He says that taking calcium without magnesium causes a build-up in the body that does harm and causes high blood pressure. More later on this subject.
The magnesium has now become an excellent part of our physical strategy for healthy living. The proper level of magnesium is outstanding in reducing the stressful feeling throughout the body. Our sleep has been enhanced, my wife’s blood pressure is better but still not normal, and we both feel much better after only a few weeks. This part of my testimony needs a few months for the full story.
The small amount of things I am taking for my health actually sounds unbelievable. I do not eat big meals because my body no longer has the need for big meals. When the colon is cleaned and healthy, the need of nutrients is vastly reduced and gorging on food makes you feel miserable.
There will be an article on keeping the colon cleansed at this site and on a special page of our Prophesy Paper shortly. I am thrilled to start bringing you good information on the body. The New-Agers have stolen the issue of healthy living, and I want to take it back. God’s people in the First Testament were given wonderful laws of healthy eating and living. Without returning to the legalism of that dispensation, we can learn to eat right, care for our bodies, and make sure our temple is a beautiful place for the Holy Ghost to dwell.
It sure feels good to feel good. If Jesus tarries, I want to die because the death angel came for me, not because the doctor sent for him.
