HEAVEN'S HEALING: NATURAL REMEDIES PART I

Heaven's Healing | Natural Remedies

1. How to Obtain Heaven's Healing

To Understand the Concepts of Healing, We First Need to Know:

Why Do We Get Sick?

The greatest cause of human suffering is ignorance on the subject of how to treat our bodies. Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health.
What Does This Mean?

Many people are unfamiliar with how to best take care of their body temples.
That the symptoms of disease (pain‚ fever‚ inflammation, etc.) are nature's effort to get better
That disease comes because we violate God's laws.

How Can Symptoms of Disease Be Our Body's Effort to Recover?

Disease is not a negative condition which should be suppressed or "cured," but a self-defensive mechanism of the body in an effort to restore health. Pain is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong. Every acute disease is an effort of nature to cleanse and heal. When suppressed over time it can become more serious.
How Is Disease the Result of Violating God's Laws?

Medicine suggests that we are victims to illness, attacked by a harmful organism or cursed by bad trees genes. In reality‚ illness most often is independent of uncontrollable factors. Disease often results of our own choices. Disease-causing organisms are scavengers. Bacteria‚ virus‚ or parasitic infection are not the primary cause of disease but rather the result. Even the father of the germ theory‚ Pasteur‚ began to understand the true relationship of germs to disease late in his life‚ when he stated: "The germ is nothing‚ the soil [the condition of the body] is everything‚" meaning that when the body is well-nourished and clean it is less likely to be affected by disease-causing agents.

"There are no specific diseases only specific disease conditions." — Florence Nightingale

God has written physical laws with His own finger upon every nerve‚ every muscle‚ and every organ which has been entrusted to us. In His wisdom, He established these natural laws for the proper moderation of all aspects of our lives, including our appetites, passions, and dress. And what determines the condition of enjoying His blessing of bountiful health is obedience to every particular of His laws.
God loves His creatures with a love that is both tender and strong. He has established the laws of nature; but His laws are not arbitrary exactions. Every "Thou shalt not," whether in physical or moral law‚ contains a promise. When obeyed blessings will attend our steps and when neglected we suffer the results. The transgression of the physical law is transgression of God's law. As sin results from the transgression of the moral law‚ disease results from the transgression of the physical law.
God is greatly dishonored by the way we treat our bodies‚ and He will not work a miracle to counteract a perverse violation of the laws of health. The Master has made it a part of His plan that our reaping shall be according to our sowing (Galatians 6:7).
Disease is merely a departure from normal health. A careful conformity to the laws which God has implanted in our being will yield health‚ and there will not be a breaking down of the constitution. God the Creator of our bodies, who has arranged every cell, nerve, sinew, and muscle, has pledged Himself to keep this machinery in healthful action if we obey His laws and cooperate with Him. "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 diseases upon thee… for I am the Lord that healeth thee" (Exodus 15:26, emphasis added).
When we realize that disease is the result of transgressing God's physical laws‚ part of the remedy is found in identifying the cause (transgression). By removing this cause we are on the track to recovering health.
What Can I Do If I'm Sick?

"… and the cause which I knew not I searched out." —Job 29:16
In case of sickness‚ the cause should be ascertained. Unhealthful conditions should be changed‚ and wrong habits corrected. Then‚ nature is to be assisted in her effort to expel impurities and to re-establish right conditions in the system.

Please Explain the Above
When the abuse of health is carried so far that sickness results‚ we can often do what no one else can do for ourselves: illness

First, try to find out the cause. Reason with yourself‚ "What could I have done to become sick?" In the beginning reasoning from cause-to-effect may be challenging to determine, but with practice and conscious awareness it will become easier.
Remove the cause; stop doing the things that made you sick.
Assist the body's efforts to expel impurities by exercising faith in God through the use of simple remedies that He has provided in nature.
Do not try to get rid of these symptoms by adding the burden of poisonous medicines to your body, this only suppresses the condition.

Also, sometimes God allows us to bring ourselves to the point of sickness or to a place where we at least realize we are weak and fallible, so that we will turn to Him for strength and wisdom.

"While health may not be everything, without your health, nothing else matters." —Royden Brown
How Can I Obtain Heaven's Healing?

"He sent his word, and healed them." —Psalm 107:20
Jesus desires that humanity cooperates with divinity. What human power can do divine power is not summoned to do. God does not dispense with human aid but rather strengthens us to cooperate with Him. "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone" (James 2:17).
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. These remedies are within the reach of all‚ with but little expense.
When you act your part, you can trust God to act His part. It is a safe proposition that after you have done all that is in your power to search out and put away the cause of disease‚ and it is found to be after all‚ that the cause is beyond all human effort to remove. Then‚ if the sole aim of your healing is the glory of God and the keeping of the commandments of God‚ you may with perfect confidence and full assurance of faith ask God to heal you.
Still‚ while presenting your petition with earnestness‚ you should pray‚ "nevertheless not my will‚ but Thine‚ be done" (Luke 22:42). You do not know whether the blessing you desire will be for your best or not. Your prayer should include: "Father, if it is for Thy glory that my health be restored‚ I ask‚ in the name of Jesus. If it be not Thy will give me Thy grace to comfort and Thy presence to sustain me."

Eight Habits to Better Health

"The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of Lord." —Proverbs 21:31
What Is the Only Method of Obtaining Healing That Heaven Approves Of?
If a doctor you trusted informed you that to get better you only need to take eight different medications a day. And then he offered to give them to you for free‚ would you not at least try them? The likelihood is you would. Today‚ the Greatest Physician in the universe is offering you His remedies. Will you accept His offer?
God has often uses the simplest means to accomplish the greatest results. Goliath, the giant was killed by a small pebble. The power did not come from the pebble‚ but from David's faith and obedience to God. Naaman, the leper was healed by washing in the river of Jordan‚ because by obeying he expressed trust and obedience to God. "Jesus Christ . . . the same yesterday‚ and today‚ and forever," the only true Physician‚ is offering you today similar remedies to prevent illness and obtain His healing (Hebrews 13:Cool.
God's way is superior to other solutions that the world provides because His remedies heal the root of the problem not just the symptoms; they are free; they work for all; and their side effects are desirable (more energy‚ greater endurance‚ sharper memory‚ clearer thinking, deeper sleep, younger-looking skin and perfect weight management).

What Are Heaven's Eight Remedies?
The things of nature are God's blessings‚ provided to give health to the body‚ mind‚ and soul. They are given to the healthy to keep them healthy and to the sick to make them well.

2. THE SUN VITAMIN
sunlight

"Truly the light is sweet‚ and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun." —Ecclesiastes 11:7
Have you ever stopped to think how life could exist without sunlight? —Not a leaf or fruit could grow nor a flower bloom. The life of every created being is the more perfect the more the creature enjoys the influence of light. Let a plant or an animal be deprived of light‚ notwithstanding every nourishment‚ care‚ and cultivation‚ it will first lose its color‚ then its strength‚ then completely decay.
God made man to live largely outdoors where the body could receive abundant sunshine. In fact‚ man was created and placed in the garden so that the sun would shine upon his entire body.
When the ultraviolet B light of the sun strikes the skin's tiny oil glands (sterols) substances within them (ergosterols) are irradiated and transformed into vitamin D3 where blood cells then transport this vitamin to the rest of the body.
Vitamin D is unique in that it is the only vitamin that humans produce intrinsically (making it technically a hormone). Receptors that respond to this vitamin have been found in almost every of human cell‚ from the brain to the bones. All of the sunlight's vitamin D's health-effects are not yet known‚ but it is clear that the vitamin is a nutrient capable of many things:

Strengthens the immune system by increasing the number of white blood cells in the body, including the lymphocytes—the most powerful germ killers of white blood cells.
Provides pain relief.
Strengthens and steadies the heart.
Elevates the mood. The association between darkness and depression is well documented. When neuro scientists keep rats in the dark for six weeks, the animals not only exhibit depressive behavior but also suffer from damage in brain regions known to be underactive in humans during depression.
Improves mental function. One study revealed that after exposing participants to 20 minutes of bright white light in the morning‚ they became more alert. The brain images showed that regions of the brain involved with alertness and some cognitive processes became more active.
Increases muscle tone promoting a leaner, stronger body.
Encourages weight loss. Sunlight increases the body's metabolism (Resting Metabolic Rate) by stimulating thyroid gland function. It also stabilizes blood sugars thus helping to reduce food cravings.
Lowers cholesterol by converting it under the skin into vitamin D. In turn, more cholesterol from the blood is sent to take its place. Two hours after a sunbath‚ an average of 13 percent reduction in human blood cholesterol takes place.
Aids in calcium assimilation and strengthens bones and teeth. Dentists have observed that people living in cloudy areas‚ where there is not much sun‚ have worse dental decay than those who live in the tropics‚ where the sun beats down on them many hours a day.
Increases the volume of oxygen in the blood. Sunlight increases the capacity of the blood to carry more oxygen and take it to the body tissues. Even a single exposure to ultraviolet light in the sun will greatly increase the oxygen content in your blood. Bronchial asthmatics‚ who can hardly breathe‚ are able to inhale freely after a sunbath.
Inhibits cancer growth.
Has an insulin-like effect—Stabilizing blood sugar. Simultaneously‚ sunlight helps to elevate blood sugar that is too low (hypoglycemics)‚ while lowering blood sugar that is too high (diabetics).
Prevents Type 1 diabetes‚ multiple sclerosis, and schizophrenia.
Improves liver function—Helps the body to eliminate toxic chemicals and environmental pollutants.
Balances hormones. Some scientists believe that sunlight reaches the pineal gland through the eyes and affects the pituitary gland (body's master gland)‚ which controls the hormone production of the other endocrine glands in a beneficial way.
Destroys germs within 10 minutes, including dangerous ones. It destroys germs on the skin by changing the natural body oil on the skin into bactericidal agents. Even vapor rising from this irradiated natural skin oils kill bacteria.
Reverses jaundice.
Slows down aging by improving the body's cleansing systems.

How Can I Enjoy the Benefits of Sunlight Without the Risk of Premature Skin Aging or Skin Cancer?
mountains - sunlight Start with 10-15 minutes exposure to the face‚ arms and legs, or the diseased area of the body daily under direct sunlight (not behind a window). Build up to 20-30 minutes daily. Avoid sun burning. Do not use sun block or suntan lotion, they have been proven to be carcinogenic.
To avoid the risk of skin cancer‚ eliminate all animal fats and heated vegetable oils (this includes almost all commercial oils). Consume your fats as they are found in nature (raw nuts, raw seeds, avocado, olives, corn, etc.). Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits which are rich in antioxidants that will protect your skin.

How Soon Will the Body Absorb Vitamin D That is Made on the Skin?
When your skin is exposed to ultraviolet B radiation from the sun it converts a cholesterol derivative in your skin into vitamin D3. However, this vitamin that is formed is on the surface of your skin does not immediately penetrate into your bloodstream. It actually needs to be absorbed from the surface of your skin into your bloodstream. It takes up to forty-eight hours before you absorb the majority of the vitamin D. That is why ideally you should wash your body without using soap for two full days after sun exposure if you want all the vitamin D formed to be absorbed by your body.

3. ILLNESS ZAPPER

Our body's most important nutritional requirement is oxygen. Humans may live five to six weeks without food, a few days without water, but only a few minutes without air. Just as fire in a furnace cannot be kept up without enough air to supply the necessary amount of oxygen for the flames‚ so the fires of life in the body cannot be maintained without an abundance of oxygen in the body. The way we breathe, as well as the quality of the air we breath, can substantially affect how we look‚ feel‚ resist disease‚ and even how long we live.

Why Is it Important to Make Sure That I Am Breathing Correctly?
In order to have good blood‚ we must breathe well. Full‚ deep inspirations of pure air fill the lungs with oxygen; purify the blood‚ sending it—a life-giving current—to every part of the body. Good respiration soothes the nerves; stimulates the appetite; improves digestion; and induces sound‚ refreshing sleep.
Shallow breathing creates an insufficient supply of oxygen causing the blood to move sluggishly. The waste‚ poisonous matter‚ which should be thrown off in exhalations from the lungs‚ is retained and the blood becomes impure. Not only the lungs‚ but the stomach‚ liver and brain are affected. The skin becomes sallow and digestion is retarded. Oxygen deficiency in the cells is known to cause cancer. Experiments have shown that cancer cells cannot live in blood that is well oxygenated.

Does the Way I Stand or Sit Affect My Breathing?
Yes, practice how to sit and stand straight—head high‚ back straight. The lungs can expand properly only when a person sits and stands straight because otherwise the lung sacs that take in air are compressed.

How Can I Make Sure That I'm Getting Enough Air?
Most people have very shallow breathing, which means the lower portion of the lungs is filled with stale air. It is important to do deep breathing exercise daily (three times a day is best). Take a deep breath to full expansion‚ hold‚ then exhale slowly and completely‚ and hold that. Repeat this‚ say‚ twenty times. This helps the circulation and gets toxins out of the system.
One of the best ways to learn deep breathing (normal breathing) is to lie flat on one's back and place your hand on your stomach. As you breathe in deeply your hand should rise. Practice this until your abdominal muscles always automatically rise each time you breathe. This indicates that the entire lung is expanding‚ with emphasis on the lower portion of the lung and abdominal area.
Be outdoors as much as possible. Always exercise outdoors. In the home it is important to secure thorough ventilation and plenty of sunlight. Keep proper ventilation in mind wherever you are (home‚ work‚ school‚ etc.). Air must be in constant circulation to be kept free from poisons.
Breathe fresh air while sleeping, keep the windows open. Even on cold winter nights‚ it is better to double the blankets but always make sure there is a free circulation of fresh air in the bedroom. Air the bedrooms daily with the windows open. If you sleep in an ill-ventilated room you will awake feeling feverish and exhausted. This is because the vital air was excluded‚ and your entire body suffers in consequence.
The best air is at beaches‚ oceans‚ waterfalls‚ forests‚ during thunderstorms, and in sunshine; all these natural environments electrically charge oxygen molecules to negative ions which are health-giving. On the other hand, air from air conditioners is not the best‚ because it is positively ionized.
Avoid smog, second-hand smoke, insect sprays, and cleaning solutions. To give your skin an opportunity to breathe without impediments, wear natural clothing (100 percent cotton‚ linen‚ silk or wool). Avoid putting anything on your skin that is not edible because the body will readily absorb it. Before bathing, brush your skin with a stiff skin brush until it is rosy and warmed. Brush stroking towards the heart region, this will remove all the dead skin cells and stimulate the lymphatic system.

What if I Am Sick?
Air should not be regarded as an enemy‚ but a precious blessing. Many think that when they have a cold‚ they must exclude outside air‚ and increase the temperature of their room until it is excessively hot. The system becomes deranged and the pores closed by waste matter. And the internal organs suffer more or less inflammation‚ because the blood has been chilled back from the surface and thrown upon them. At this time‚ of all others‚ the lungs should not be deprived of pure‚ fresh air. If pure air is ever necessary‚ it is when any part of the system‚ as the lungs or stomach‚ is diseased.
Many families suffer with sore throats‚ lung disorders and liver complaints‚ brought upon them by their own course of action. They breathe the same air over and over again‚ until it becomes impregnated with poisonous impurities. Those who thus abuse their health must suffer disease.

Then, What Should I Do If the Air Is Too Cold?
Dress warmly but try not to wear too much. If you add clothing‚ let it be but little‚ and exercise‚ if possible‚ to regain the heat you need. If you positively cannot engage in active exercise‚ warm yourself by the heater; lower the room temperature as soon as you have regained your natural warmth. If those who can would engage in some active employment to take the mind off themselves‚ they would generally forget that they felt the chill‚ and would not receive harm. For invalids who have feeble lungs‚ nothing can be worse than an overheated atmosphere. The heated oppressed atmosphere deprives the vitality‚ benumbs the sensitive brain‚ and causes the lungs to shrink and the liver to become inactive.
For healthy circulation special attention should be given to the extremities, that they may be as thoroughly clothed as the trunk of the body, where there is the greatest amount of heat. When the limbs are not as well dressed as the chest, blood is driven to the head, this may cause headaches or nosebleeds; a sense of fullness about the chest, producing coughs or palpitations of the heart, on account of too much blood in that locality; or indigestion because the stomach has too much blood.

What Can I Do if I Live in a City and the Air Is Impure?
It is not possible to enjoy the health God wants to bless you with while you are breathing polluted and congested air. Your health is more important than where you live, that is why moving to the country would be a dramatic but wise priority. Until you move fill your bedroom, home, and work place with green plants, this will help to filter and clean the air.

4. NEGLECTED BATH

"Cleanse first that which is within … that the outside … may be clean also." —Matthew 23:26
health Toxic waste builds up in the body when we do not drink enough water. The body of a newborn contains more than 80 percent water. The amount of child water in the tissues lessens with advancing age. More than 60 percent of our body is made up of water.
Humans have lived 81 days without food‚ but they will die in 5 days without water. If you lose just 5 percent of the total amount of water in your body‚ you will start to hallucinate‚ become disoriented‚ and experience twitching muscles. If you lose 15 percent of your total water‚ your life is endangered. A loss greater than 15 percent of body fluids may result in death. Yet‚ the body has no water storage system to depend on in times of emergency.
The parts of the body that suffer most from dehydration are those without direct vascular circulation‚ such as the joint cartilages in fingers‚ knees‚ and vertebrae. Chronic pain is often an indicator of chronic dehydration. When any of your joints begin to signal aching pains that come and go‚ this may be a sign that your body is severely short of water. Often‚ though‚ the signs of water deficiency in joint cartilages are not recognized for what they indicate and painkillers are prescribed. This frequently results in a dependence on addictive medication‚ and permanent damage to cartilage separation of the joint bones.
According to Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, dehydration can cause disease. "Dry mouth is not the only sign of dehydration and waiting to get thirsty is wrong. Pain in the body is a crisis call of the body for water. Thirst should be prevented. When [the] body does not receive enough water and you have pain, that is a sign of dehydration."
Dr. Batmanghelidj also explains that‚ "Chronic pain of the body which cannot easily be explained as injuries or infection‚ should first and foremost be interpreted as signal of chronic water shortage in the area where the pain is registered. These pain signals should first be considered and excluded as primary indicators for dehydration of the body before any other complicated procedures are forced on the patient."
Physicians and chiropractors often find that weak muscle response, particularly if all the muscles are responding in the same way, may be due to minor dehydration. One glass of drinking water sometimes overcomes this strange, total body weakness.

How Much Water Should I Drink and How Do I Know If I Am Drinking Enough Water?
Contrary to popular belief‚ thirst is not a good indication. By the time you are thirsty‚ it means your body has already lost more than 3 percent of its water. If your urine is a strong yellow color‚ you are not drinking enough. Ideally‚ your urine should be almost colorless. Regular intake of water throughout the water day is important because when a large amount of water is ingested‚ it is practically completely eliminated by the kidneys in the succeeding few hours. That is why‚ to meet your daily ration of water intake‚ a lot of water all at once is not the solution. Drinking one glass of water every waking hour or so throughout the day is best. When you are tired, just drinking a lot of plain, cold water will help revitalize you during sluggish periods of the day. You will need to drink even more than that if you sweat much or if the weather is hot. This will increase your endurance. Carry your water supply with you and use it and no other liquid to quench your thirst.
A good estimate of the minimum amount of water one needs is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces of water per day that you need to drink.
Upon rising, to jump-start your day on the right track, make it a habit to drink two to four glasses of warm lemon water. For each glass squeeze the juice of half a lemon. Lemon water is alkalizing and detoxifying.
If you are not having daily bowel movements (ideally one after each meal), you may need to up your water intake (also make sure you are getting daily exercising and eating plenty of fruit, vegetables and whole grains).

What is the Best Source of Drinking Water?
Pure spring water. Second choice, pure well water. If this is not possible, water that has gone through reverse osmosis or distillation is good. It would be wise to check the total dissolved solids (TDS) of any water source you drink to get an overall indicator of the water's purity. Never drink chlorinated water, it is a poison to your body, destroying your thyroid gland and healthy bacteria which is your immune systems first shield of defense. The greatest danger in chlorinated water are the byproducts when chlorine combines with organic material in the water. Some experts believe these byproducts to be over 10,000 times more toxic than the chlorine itself.
The Natural Resources Council performed a four-year study of over one hundred bottled water brands. This research pointed out that as much as 40 percent of bottled water came from a city water system, just like tap water. One third of the tested brands contained bacteria or other chemicals that exceeded the industry's own purity guidelines.

How About Bathing?
It is important to keep the pores of the skin open and clean by daily bathing. The average healthy person eliminates about one kilogram (two pounds) of waste material daily through the pores of the skin. People who engage in rigorous physical activity eliminate an even greater amount. The skin is considered showerto play the role of a third kidney. A burned victim who has had over 50 percent of the skin function destroyed‚ has a lower chance for survival‚ and his kidneys are placed under a terrific load because of the loss of eliminative assistance by the skin.
Whether in health, or illness, daily bathing should not be neglected. A neglect of cleanliness will induce disease. The multitude of pores‚ through which the body breathes‚ become clogged and filled with waste matter. The skin needs to be carefully and thoroughly cleansed‚ that the pores may do their work in freeing the body from impurities. Even feeble persons who are diseased need the advantages and blessings of bathing daily.
Respiration is more free and easy if bathing is practiced. By it‚ the muscles become more flexible‚ the mind and body are alike invigorated‚ the intellect is made brighter‚ and every faculty becomes livelier. It promotes general perspiration‚ quickens the circulation‚ overcomes obstructions in the system‚ and acts beneficially on the kidneys and urinary organs. Bathing helps the bowels‚ stomach‚ and liver‚ giving energy and new life to each. It also promotes digestion‚ and instead of the system being weakened‚ it is strengthened.
Instead of increasing the liability of cold‚ a bath‚ properly taken‚ fortifies against cold‚ because the circulation is improved‚ and the uterine organs‚ which are more or less congested are relieved‚ for the blood is brought to the surface‚ and an easier and regular flow of the blood through all the blood vessels is obtained. It is better to end your bath or shower with at least 30 seconds of cold water. Ending with a cold shower strengthens the body whereas ending with warmer water weakens the body.

Should I Use Hydrotherapy (Water Treatments) When I Am Sick? How Effective Is Its Use?
Natural remedies combined with hydrotherapy are more effective in restoring health than all the drug medication in the world. The use of water is one of the most ancient remedies. As early as 400 BC Hippocrates, who is considered by modern medicine as the "Father of Medicine," treated the sick with hot and cold water.
Whenever there is disease there is some kind of disturbance in the circulation. This disturbance can be corrected by the application of water. Hot water relaxes and cold water stimulates. Together, they act as a universal pump to equalize blood circulation. When done properly, hydrotherapy can increase circulation by 400 percent. The red blood cells and white blood cells in the peripheral circulation can increase by 20-35 and 200-300 percent respectively.
Furthermore, it is through the skin that hydrotherapy produces its powerful physiologic actions, and the skin is intimately connected to every organ in the body via the nervous system and circulatory system. By changing the skin temperature with hot and cold water applications, nerve sensations will stimulate or sedate specific systems or organs.
Take a hot shower for 3-5 minutes followed immediately by a cold shower for 30 seconds. Do this five times always ending with the cold. Try this daily for a month. Every treatment will extend and build on the benefits of the previous one. In critical cases hydrotherapy can be done twice a day directing the water treatment on the afflicted body part.
You can also have a steam bath at home. Sit on a small stool‚ covered with a blanket‚ from the neck to the feet. Have someone place a basin of boiling water between your feet and replace the water with more hot water as it cools. Maintain this position for twenty minutes; end with a cold shower for 1-2 minutes.
