Presently wherever we turn we are surrounded by the
latest news reports of terrorist threats, natural disasters,
global problems etc and now the new buzz word,
pandemics.
For the student of prophecy however such things should
not come as a surprise, for the Bible as well as our counsel
from our Churchesend time prophet, Sister Ellen G.
White already fore warned us about such impendingdangers. Men' s hearts fail ing them for fear, and for
looking after those things which are coming on the earth.

DRUGS POISON THE BLOOD
In our sanitariums, we advocate the use of simple
remedies. We discourage the use of drugs, for they poison
the current of the blood. In these institutions sensibleinstruction should be given on how to eat, how to drink,
how to dress, and how to live so that the health may be
preserved.Counsels on Diet and Foods, 303.
DRUGS ONLY WEAKEN THE SYSTEM
Many act as if health and disease were things entirely
independent of their conduct, and entirely outside their
control. . . Violent attacks of sickness they believe to be
special dispensations of Providence, or the result of some
overruling, mastering power; and they resort to drugs as a
cure for the evil. But the drugs taken to cure the disease
weaken the system.Medical Ministry, 296-297.

DRUGS AFFECT PEOPLE PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, AND MORALLY
Physicians, by administering their drug poisons, have done very much
to increase the depreciation of the race, physically, mentally, and
morally. Everywhere you go you will see deformity, disease and
imbecility, which in very many cases can be traced directly back to thedrug poisons, administered by the hand of a doctor, as a remedy for
some of lifes ills. The so-called remedy has fearfully proved itself to
the patientby stern suffering experienceto be far worse than the
disease for which the drug was taken. All who possess commoncapabilities should understand the wants of their own system. The
philosophy of health should compose one of the important studies for
our children. It is all-important that the human organism be
understood, and then intelligent men and women can be their own
physicians. If the people would reason from cause to effect, and would
follow the light which shines upon them, they would pursue a course
which would insure health, and mortality would be far less. But the
people are too willing to remain in inexcusable ignorance, and trust
their bodies to the doctors, instead of having any special responsibility -

DRUGS ENFEEBLE THE SYSTEM
AND MAKE IT MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DISEASE
Instead of taking a course to baffle disease, you arepetting it and yielding to its power. You should avoid
the use of drugs and carefully observe the laws of
health. If you regard your life, you should eat plainfood, prepared in the simplest manner, and take
more physical exercise. Each member of the family
needs the benefits of health reform. But drugging
should be forever abandoned. For while it does not
cure any malady, it enfeebles the system, making it
more susceptible to disease.5 Testimonies, 311.

DRUGS ULTIMATELY BRING A BREAKDOWN OF VITAL FORCES
Drugs always have a tendency to break down and destroy vital forces,
and nature becomes so crippled in her efforts, that the invalid dies,
not because he needed to die, but because nature was outraged. If she
had been left alone, she would have put forth her highest efforts tosave life and health.Medical Ministry, 223.
DRUGS ARE SEEDS OF DEATHSOWN IN THE BODY
When you understand physiology in its truest sense, your drug billswill be very much smaller, and finally you will cease to deal out drugs
at all. The physician who depends upon drug medication in his
practice, shows that he does not understand the delicate machinery of
the human organism. He is introducing into the machinery of the
system a seed crop that will never lose its destroying properties
throughout the lifetime. I tell you this because I dare not withhold it.
Christ paid too much for mans redemption to have his body so
ruthlessly treated as it has been by drug medication.2 Selected
Messages, 283-284.

DRUGS REQUIRE HEROIC EFFORTS
BY THE BODY
Although the patient may recover, yet thepowerful effort nature was required to make
to overcome the poison, injured the
constitution and shortened the life of thepatient. There are many who do not die under
the influence of drugs, but there are very many
who are left useless wrecks, hopeless, gloomy,and miserable sufferers, a burden to
themselves and to society.How to Live, 50.

JESUS OUR EXAMPLE
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages,
teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the
gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness
and every disease among the people. But when He
saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassionon them, because they fainted, and were scattered
abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith He
unto His disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous,but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord
of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into
His harvest.Matthew 9:35-38.

The disciples were to have the same power which Jesus had
heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease
mong the people. By healing in His name the diseases of the
ody, they would testify to His power for the healing of theoul . . Thus Christ gave His disciples their commission. He
ade full provision for the prosecution of the work, and took
pon Himself the responsibility for its success. So long as they
beyed His Word, and worked in connection with Him, theyould not fail. Go to all nations, He bade them. Go to the
rthest part of the habitable globe, but know that My
resence will be there. Labor in faith and confidence, for the
ime will never come when I will forsake you. The Saviours
ommission to the disciples included all the believers. It
cludes all believers in Christ to the end of time.Desire of

Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching thegospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness
and all manner of disease among the people; and His fame
went throughout all Syria. And they brought unto Him all
sick people that were taken with divers diseases andtorments, and those which were possessed with devils, and
those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and
He healed them. And there followed Him great multitudes
of people from Galilee, and Decapolis, and from Jerusalem,

Gods people are to be genuine medical missionaries. They
are to learn to minister to the needs of soul and body. They
should know how to give the simple treatments that do so
much to relieve pain and remove disease. They should befamiliar with the principles of health reform, that they may
show others how, by right habits of eating, drinking, and
dressing, disease may be prevented and health regained. A
demonstration of the value of the principles of healthreform will do much toward removing prejudice against our
evangelical work. The Great Physician, the originator of
medical missionary work, will bless every one who will go
forward humbly and trustfully, seeking to impart the truth
for this time.Welfare Ministry, 127.

As religious aggression subverts the liberties of our
nation, those who would stand for freedom of
conscience will be placed in unfavorable positions.
For their own sake, they should, while they have
opportunity become intelligent in regard to disease,
its causes, prevention, and cure. And those who do
this will find a field of labor anywhere. There will besuffering ones, plenty of them, who will need help,
not only among those of our own faith, but largely
among those who know not the truth. The shortnessof time demands an energy that has not been
aroused among those who claim to believe the
present truth.Counsels on Health, 506

Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper
diet, the use of water, trust in divine powerthese are the
true remedies. Every person should have a knowledge of
natures remedial agencies and how to apply them. It isessential both to understand the principles involved in the
treatment of the sick and to have a practical training that
will enable one rightly to use this knowledge. We cannot be
too often reminded that health does not depend on chance.It is a result of obedience to law.

Now As Gods called out 10 Commandment keepers, how will we be
able to point others towards them if we ourselves are in violation of
breaking the physical ones which are just as important? Let us not
fool ourselves into believing that the Lord will excuse our
disobedience of them when He has plainly shown us from
His inspired principle that if you break one you are guilty of
breaking all? {James 2:10} If you further say, this only
applies to the 10 moral laws alone Exodus 15:26 stated that,If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy
God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give
ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will
put none of these diseasesupon thee, which I have broughtupon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
Here stands an eternal promise the great physician Himself
has given to us, one which still offers the blessing of healing
from disease upon condition of obedience to all His laws.

Inspiration states the following regarding their use; There are many
ways of practicing the healing art, but there is only one way that
Heaven approves. God's remedies are the simple agencies of nature,
that will not tax or debilitate the system through their powerful
properties. Pure air and water, cleanliness, a proper diet, purity of life,and a firm trust in God, are remedies for the want of which thousands
are dying, yet these remedies are going out of date because their
skillful use requires work that the people do not appreciate. Fresh air,
exercise, pure water, and clean, sweet premises, are within the reach
of all with but little expense; but drugs are expensive, both in the
outlay of means and the effect produced upon the system. [Counsels
on Health, p 323]

Dr. Godly Trust Preserve me, o God: for in thee do I put my trust. Psalm
16:1
We should be reluctant to put our trust in anything otherthan God. In many cases it is even difficult to trusts many
friends and family members. Trust placed in anyone less
than Jesus will inevitably lead to immediate or eventual
disappointment. Trusting God means to be willing to let Him
take care of you. He alone is able to keep you from falling.
{Jude 1:24}
The Lord says in 3John 2,Beloved, I wish above all things that
thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul
prospereth. If you genuinely trust in God, He will give you
the power you need to overcome habits and addictions that
are harmful to you physically and spiritually.

When we have a trusting relationship with our Creator we
tend to have less stress if any at all which is also a leading
cause of disease. Stress interferes with digestion, suppresses
the immune system as well as restricts every spiritualsuccess. Resting in Jesus is the best tranquilizer as well as
disease prevention medicine for:
1.It increases endorphins {Prov 17:22;16:24}2.Strengthens the immune system. {Isa 40:31}
3.Stimulates mental blood flow circulation through daily
prayer and Bible study.{Ps 50:4}
4.Reduces and even eliminate stress through claiming His
promises. {Jn 14:27}
5.Encourages a good nights rest after actively ministering to
the spiritual & physical needs of others.

Dr. Air I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live.
Ezekiel 37:5
Open air is the current of life, it provides the cells and theblood with oxygen. All nature depends upon air and works
to produce it. While men and animals are taking oxygen
from the air and giving off carbon dioxide, plants are using
the carbon dioxide and giving off oxygen. When man lives
close to nature, balance is maintained. Inspiration sates
that, Every cell of your body must receive a constant supply
of oxygen. In order to have good blood, we must breath
well. Full, deep inspirations of pure air, which fill the lungs
with oxygen, purify the blood. They impart to it a bright
color and send it a life giving current to every part of the
body. [Ministry of Healing, p 272]

Thousands have died for want of pure water and pur
air who might have lived. And thousands of invalids,
who are a burden to themselves and others, think tha
their lives depend upon taking medicines from thedoctors. They are continually guarding themselves
against the air and avoiding the use of water. These
blessings they need in order to become well. If theywould become enlightened and let medicine alone, a
accustom themselves to outdoor exercise and to air i
their houses, summer and winter, and use soft waterdrinking and bathing purposes, they would be
comparatively well and happy instead of dragging out
miserable existence. {CH 55.3}

Air, air, the precious boon of heaven which all may
have, will bless you with its invigorating influence if
you will not refuse it entrance. Welcome it, cultivate
a love for it, and it will prove a precious soother ofthe nerves. Air must be in constant circulation to be
kept pure. The influence of pure, fresh air is to cause
the blood to circulate healthfully through thesystem. It refreshes the body and tends to render it
strong and healthy, while at the same time its
influence is decidedly felt upon the mind, impartinga degree of composure and serenity. It excites the
appetite, renders the digestion of food more perfect,
and induces sound and sweet sleep.--1T 702 (1868).

Dr. Sunshine Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the
kingdom of their Father. Matthew 13:43 Human beings,
like plants, need adequate sunlight. Sunshine is a powerfulagent in fighting disease. It helps to relax tension, produce
mental alertness, and improve the complexion (if not
overexposed). Physical fitness is increased when exercise is
taken outdoors. Sunshine also increases the volume ofoxygen in the blood and promotes healing of wounds It is
said to be one of the most effective germ killers we know
with no side effects. Ultra violet rays are antiseptic - killing
bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts, molds & mites of all kinds.Our homes should be open to an abundance of sunlight. All
rooms, espe-cially sleeping rooms, should be well supplied
with natures radiant rays. Also hanging your laundry in the
sun not only gives them a fresh clean smell but also sterilizes.

Life is dependent on the nurturing warmth of
the sun. Exposure to sunlight stimulates
hormone production and improves liver
function. The benefits of it is also necessary for
the conversion of cholesterol into Vitamin D
which in turns lowers its level. Just 15-30minutes of daily exposure of the face and arms
is enough to stimulate an adequate source of
Vitamin D production in the body. The besttime for sunbathing is before 10:00 am and
after 3:00 pm.

Dr. Rest
Come unto me, all ye that are heavy labour and laden ,
and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
Studies have shown that proper rest lengthens your life by 8-10 years.
It not only contributes to longevity but is vitally important in the
bodys nightly restoration process. Many do not get enough rest
simply because they do not have a regular time for it. The body has a
built-in clock which is set by the regularity of sleeping hours andmeal times. Generally two hours of sleep before midnight equals four
hours after. The recommended amount of hours of sleep nightly
should be 8 hrs and in order to receive the maximum benefit of this
natural tonic, retiring hours should be before 9:30 PM . Get adequaterestful sleep! An early, light supper, well before bedtime and no
snacking before retiring will help. A relaxing, warm bath or a hot cup
of herbal tea can also help you wind down. Regular times for going to
bed and awaking is also very important.

Avoid using over the counter or Rx sleeping aids for inducing
sleep as these are harmful and sleep thus attained, is of
little benefit to your body due to the extra burden they
place on the neurological & central nervous system. Lack ofrestful sleep is for many, the root of the enervation that
causes disease for healing and cleansing occurs only when
the body is in the deep sleep cycle. Because of these factors,
regularity of rest is very important. Lastly, lack of exercise,overworking, worrying, overeating and a stressed mind are
among the chief causes of fatigue. A proper mental attitude
that is spiritually empowered will contribute to a restful night
that truly refreshes as well lead to a more productive day. Byincorporating Psalm 50:4 in an early waking pattern you will
be ensured a good head start too. It will become easier to go
to bed early and get up early when you do it for awhile and
begin to enjoy the way you feel as well.

Dr. Water
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of
salvation. Isaiah 12:3
Without this life giving substance the human body would not be able
to function well or survive very long. Our body is between 7080 %
water and is needed for their bodily functions such as; nourishment,
cleansing, hydration, and physical & mental rejuvenation. Lots of
water is needed for optimal function because almost every process inyour body depends on the presence of adequate water. It is needed
for: digestion, respiration, saliva and tears production, temperature
control and lubrication.
This vital fluid is continuously being lost in exhaled air, perspiration,and uric waste products. It is also necessary to transport energy to
cells and muscles and remove impurities. It helps to produce digestive
juices and promotes healthy action of the stomach and intestines and
brain cells are particularly sensitive to dehydration. Many people
suffer from headaches simply because they do not drink lots of water.
The kidneys and digestive organs are especially susceptible to disease
8/13/2019 Medical Missionary
36/47
The kidneys and digestive organs are especially susceptible to disease
if they are deprived of their adequate supply as well. Other sources
that water is indirectly found are in drinks such as; teas, juices, soft
drinks etc, and foods such as; soups, vegetables, fruits
Drink lots of water daily (not artificially flavored or other soft drinksand juices). Your weight divided by 16 (Weight) is the minimum
number of 8oz glasses of water to drink daily. For instance, if you
weigh 160 lbs, you need to drink a minimum of ten 8oz glasses of
water per day. Adequate fluid intake will increase your endurance andenergy levels. Get a jump start by squeezing a lemon in 16 oz of room
temperature water and drink early in the morning.
Not only is water needed for internal cleansing but externally as well.
The skin needs to be cleansed frequently from waste material given off
through the pores. If this is neglected, the body will reabsorb the toxic
waste materials. The external application of water is one of the easiest
and most satisfactory ways of regulating the circulation of the blood.

A daily contrast shower or bathe ending with 30 secs
-1 min cold using a bath brush or rough washcloth
will not only enhance circulation and your immune
sys, but removes toxins as well. Foot baths andsteam baths are also good for this purpose and when
skillfully used, these procedures greatly assists the
body in recovering from disease. So we can see nowwhy in the Bible, water is referred to so
interchangeably from physical to spiritual
illustrations thus implying how important drinkingand using both the physical and the spiritual water is
to the Lord. {Isa 55:1}

Dr. Temperate : And every man that striveth for the masteryis temperate in all things 1Corinthians 9:25 The great end
for which Christ endured that long fast in the wilderness was to
teach us the necessity of self-denial and temperance. This worshould commence at our tables and should be strictly carried
out in all the concerns of life. The Redeemer of the world
came from heaven to help man in his weakness, that, in the
power which Jesus came to bring him, he might becomestrong to overcome appetite and passion and might be victor
on every point. If the moral sensibilities of Christians were
aroused upon the subject of temperance in all things, they
could, by their example, commencing at their tables, helpthose who are weak in self-control, who are almost powerles
to resist the cravings of appetite. If we could realize that the
habits we form in this life be the means of saving many souls
from the degradation of intemperance, crime, and death.

Daniel 1:8 21: The example of Daniel and his companions
and how they were blessed for being faithful to the
principles of temperance and health reform. Daniel and his
associates had been trained by their parents to habits ofstrict temperance. They had been taught that God would
hold them accountable for their capabilities, and that they
must never dwarf or enfeeble their powers. This education
was to Daniel and his companions the means of theirpreservation amidst the demoralizing influences of the court
of Babylon. Strong were the temptations surrounding them
in that corrupt and luxurious court, but they remained
uncontaminated. No power, no influence, could sway themfrom the principles they had learned in early life by a study
of the word and works of God. {PK 482.2}
When a physician sees a patient suffering from disease caused by
8/13/2019 Medical Missionary
40/47
p y p g yimproper eating and drinking or other wrong habits, yet neglects to
tell him of this, he is doing his fellow being an injury. Drunkards,
maniacs, those who are given over to licentiousness, all appeal to the
physician to declare clearly and distinctly that suffering results fromsin. Those who understand the principles of life should be in earnest in
striving to counteract the causes of disease. Seeing the continual
conflict with pain, laboring constantly to alleviate suffering, how can
the physician hold his peace? Is he benevolent and merciful if he does
not teach strict temperance as a remedy for disease? {MH 114.1}
Let it be made plain that the way of God's commandments is the way
of life. God has established the laws of nature, but His laws are not
arbitrary exactions. Every "Thou shalt not," whether in physical or inmoral law, implies a promise. If we obey it, blessing will attend our
steps. God never forces us to do right, but He seeks to save us from the
evil and lead us to the good.
Let attention be called to the laws that were taught to Israel. God
8/13/2019 Medical Missionary

Let attention be called to the laws that were taught to Israel. God
gave them definite instruction in regard to their habits of life. He made
known to them the laws relating to both physical and spiritual well-
being; and on condition of obedience He assured them, "The Lord will
take away from thee all sickness." Deuteronomy 7:15. "Set your heartsunto all the words which I testify among you this day." "For they are
life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh."
Deuteronomy 32:46; Proverbs 4:22. God holds everyone responsible
for the influence that surrounds his soul, on his own account and onthe account of others. He calls upon young men and women to be
strictly temperate, and conscientious in the use of their faculties of
mind and body. Their capabilities can be properly developed only by
the most diligent use of their opportunities and the wise appropriation
of their powers to the glory of God and the benefit of their fellow
men. (CT p. 102)

When we feed on flesh, the juices of what we eat pass into
8/13/2019 Medical Missionary

, j pthe circulation. A feverish condition is created, because the
animals are diseased, and by partaking of their flesh we
plant the seeds of disease in our own tissue and blood.
Then, when exposed to the changes of a malarious
atmosphere, to prevailing epidemics and contagious
diseases, these are more sensibly felt, for the system is not
in a condition to resist disease. Because those who partakeof animal food do not immediately feel its effects, is no
evidence that it does not injure them. It may be doing its
work surely upon the system, and yet the persons for the
time being realize nothing of it. The liability to take diseaseis increased tenfold by meat eating. The practise of eating
largely of meat is causing diseases of all kinds,--cancers,
tumors, scrofula, tuberculosis, and other like affections. {HL

foods and we in turn partake of the same elements that we
are fearfully and wonderfully made from.
Proper Food.

Is my diet such as will bring me in a position where I can accomplish
the greatest amount of good? People cannot all eat the same things.
Some articles of food that are wholesome and palatable to one personmay be hurtful to another. So it is impossible to make an unvarying
rule by which to regulate every one's dietetic habits. The Lord intends
to bring his people back to live upon simple fruits, vegetables, and
grains. . . . God provided fruit in its natural state for our first parents.All the elements of nutrition are contained in the fruits, vegetables,
and grains. Grains and fruits prepared free from grease, and in as
natural a condition as possible, should be the food for the tables of all
who claim to be preparing for translation to heaven. Fruits, grains, and
vegetables, prepared in a simple way, free from spice and grease of allkinds, make, with milk and cream, the most healthful diet. They
impart nourishment to the body, and give a power of endurance and
vigor of intellect that are not produced by a stimulating diet. {HL 78.5}
