Life at its best- Health Presentation

1. Life At its Best
Food & The Health Reform Message

3. Pure air, sunlight,
abstemiousness, rest,
exercise, proper diet,
the use of water, trust in
divine power,--these are
the true remedies. {CD
301.4}

4. What is Health?
“Health is a state of complete
physical, mental and social-wellbeing
not merely the absence
of disease or infirmity.”World Health
Organization New York, 19-22 June, 1946

5. What is Reform?
A change for the better

6. What is Health Reform?

7. When properly conducted, the health work is an
entering wedge, making a way for other truths
to reach the heart. When the third angel's
message is received in its fullness, health reform
will be given its place in the councils of the
conference, in the work of the church, in the
home, at the table, and in all the household
arrangements. Then the right arm will serve and
protect the body. {6T 327.2}

8. • Those who go forth to engage in the work of
the ministry must be intelligent upon the
subject of health reform. Those men who after
many years’ experience have yet no
appreciation of the medical missionary work,
should not be appointed to preside over our
churches. They are not walking in the light of
present truth for this time. Medical Ministry
238

9. The medical missionary work must be as
closely connected with the work of the gospel
ministry as the hand and arm are connected
with the body. You need the gospel ministry
to give prominence and stability to the
medical missionary work; and the ministry
needs the medical missionary work to
demonstrate the practical working of the
gospel. Letter 135 1899

10. We have come to a time when every member
of the church should take hold of medical
missionary work. The World is a lazar house
filled with victims of both physical and
spiritual disease. Everywhere people are
perishing for lack of a knowledge of the
truths that have been committed to us. The
members of the church are in need of
awakening, that they may realize THEIR
responsibility to impart these truths. 7T 62

11. "The solution to the health problems of
the world today is to be found in natural
remedies, not in poisoning the system
with chemicals. Although they may
appear to bring temporary relief, they
add a debt of debilitating poison which
will later result in serious problems." -
John Harvey Kellogg, M.D.

12. True Remedies:
5T.443. “ 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 DEBILLITATE (side
effects) the system through their powerful properties. Pure
Air and Water, Cleanliness a Proper Diet, Purity of Life, and
a firm Trust in God, are the remedies for the want of which
thousands are dying, yet these remedies are going out of
date, because their skillfull use requires work that the people
do not appreciate.

13. 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 out lay of
means and the effect produced upon the
system.

14. MOH, pg,127. “ The only hope of better things
is in the education of the people in right
principles . Let physicians teach the people that
restorative power is not in drugs , but in nature.

15. What is Disease ?
Disease is an effort of Nature to free the system
from conditions that result from a violation of the
laws of health. In case of sickness, cause should be
ascertained. Unhealthful conditions changed, wrong
habits corrected. Then nature is to be assisted in her
effort to expel impurities and to re-establish right
conditions in the system.”

16. Results of Drug Medication
• Drugging should be forever abandoned; for while it does
not cure any malady, it enfeebles the system, making it
more susceptible to disease.-- T., No. 32, p. 57. {HL 244.3}
• There are more who die from the use of drugs than all who
would have died of disease had nature been left to do her
own work.--H. to L., Chap. 3, p. 61.
• Medicine deranges nature's fine machinery, and breaks
down the constitution. It kills, but never cures.--H. to L.,
Chap. 3, p. 57.

17. Drugs given to stupefy, whatever they may be, derange
the nervous system.--H. to L., Chap. 3, p. 57. {HL 246.2}
Stupefy: to put into a state of little or no sensibility;
benumb the faculties of; put into a stupor.
Derange: to throw into disorder; disarrange. To disturb
the condition, action, or function of.
Drug medication, as it is generally practised, is a
curse. Educate away from drugs, use them less and
less, and depend more upon hygienic agencies. Nature
will respond to God's remedies,--pure air, pure water,
proper exercise, and a clear conscience. --U. T., 1888.
{HL 246.4}

18. If Seventh-day Adventists practiced what
they profess to believe, if they were sincere
health reformers, they would indeed be a
spectacle to the world, to angels, and to
men. And they would show a far greater
zeal for the salvation of those who are
ignorant of the truth. {CH 575.1}

19. Ellen White says...
Yet I am sorry that there are many of our people who
do not strictly follow the light on health reform. Those
who in their habit transgress the principles of health,
and do not heed the light that the Lord has given
them, will surely suffer the consequences. {CD 493.1}

20. 10 Principles of Health
1. Rest
2. Sunlight
3. Water
4. Exercise
5. Air
6. Temperance
7. Fasting
8. Dress
9. Devotion & Trust
10. Diet & Nutrition

25. The right quantity and quality of sleep is vital to a
healthful lifestyle. Rest is a condition wherein the
human body is permitted to heal and reabsorb the
natural forces that it has lost through the use and
abuse of the body and mind.

26. During the day, the chief work of the body is
done, but during the night, the body is revived,
the muscles are built up, the brain tissue is
restored, and the nerves are recharged. For growth
and health, a sufficient amount of leisure and rest
is essential.

27.  No lights(melatonin)
 No food after 5pm to 6:30(latest) If any eaten
after it has to be extremely light
 Soothing Bath
 7-8 Hours rest(2-4 hours before midnight)

28. The stomach must have careful attention. It
must not be kept in continual operation. Give
this misused and much-abused organ some
peace and quiet and rest. . . . {CG 389.1}
After the regular meal is eaten, the stomach
should be allowed to rest for five hours. Not a
particle of food should be introduced into the
stomach till the next meal. In this interval the
stomach will perform its work and will then be
in a condition to receive more food. {CG 389.2}

29. Sleep- I know from the testimonies
given me from time to time for
brain workers, that sleep is worth
far more before than after
midnight. Two hours' good sleep
before twelve o'clock is worth more
than four hours after twelve
o'clock. . . . {7MR 224.3}

33.  1. Sunlight converts cholesterol into vitamin D,
lowering the blood cholesterol. Vitamin D
provides a host of advantages to the body,
including prevention of many types of cancer
and better calcium absorption, which in turn
helps prevent osteoporosis and tooth decay,
makes stronger denser bones, and speeds
bone repair

34.  2. Sunlight kills many germs and enhances
the immune system
 3. Sunlight soothes the nervous system and
is important in treating depression. It gives a
sense of well-being by increasing endorphin
production in the brain.

35.  4. Sunlight strengthens the cardiovascular
system. It improves the circulation, lowers
the heart rate, and normalizes the blood
pressure and blood sugar.
 5. Sunlight aids in digestion and weight loss,
increasing the metabolism by stimulating
thyroid production.

36.  6. Sunlight improves sleep. Natural light
exposure in daytime increases melatonin output
at night.
 7. The sick are greatly benefited by the sun due
to its healing properties. Sunlight enhances
waste elimination by improving liver function; it
is an effective treatment for jaundice. It relieves
the kidneys of some of their burden by
eliminating wastes through the skin when you
sweat.

38. ►Water regulates the body's temperature,
acts as a medium for cellular
reproduction, and keeps tissues soft and
permeable. Water is the essence of life.
►External water treatments can be
helpful, in some cases, in helping the sick
get well. Hydrotherapy was the name
given to these water treatments, which
rally and stimulate the body in the
healing process.

39. ►If you lose 20% of the water
content you are dead.. If10%
you are dehydrated(confusion,
fatigue, concentrated yellow
urine that has a strong scent,
loss of appetite,3000 enzymes
that can only work in water etc.)

44. • - Exercise is an important aid to physical development. It quickens
the circulation of the blood, and gives tone to the system. If the
muscles are allowed to remain unused, it will soon be apparent that
the blood does not sufficiently nourish them. Instead of increasing in
size and strength, they will lose their firmness and elasticity, and
become soft and weak. Inactivity is not the law the Lord has
established in the human body. The harmonious action of all the
parts,-- brain, bone, and muscle,-- is necessary to the full and
healthful development of the entire human organism. {FE 426.1}

45.  (Brisk walking, swimming, jogging,
cycling, etc.)
 Plenty of oxygen(trees)

47. “Air is the free blessing from heaven calculated to
electrify the whole system”
Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 1, pg. 701

48. 48
 Fresh air has many health benefits. It improves the
brain's ability to function, gives clarity to the mind,
improves concentration, and boosts learning
abilities. It gives a sense of happiness and well-being
by altering brain levels of serotonin. It
promotes quality sleep, and kills bacteria and
viruses in the air.

49. 49
In order to have good blood, we must breathe 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. A good respiration soothes
the nerves; it stimulates the appetite and renders
digestion more perfect; and it induces sound,
refreshing sleep. {MH 272.1}

50. 50
 Diaphragm breathing

52. What is temperance?
Temperance is moderation
in the things that are good
and total abstinence from
the things that are
harmful.

53. Temperance in all things of this life is to be taught and
practiced. Temperance in eating, drinking, sleeping, and
dressing is one of the grand principles of the religious life.
Truth brought into the sanctuary of the soul will guide in
the treatment of the body. Nothing that concerns the
health of the human agent is to be regarded with
indifference. Our eternal welfare depends upon the use we
make during this life of our time, strength, and influence.
{CG 394.4}

55. Now and onward till the close of time the people of
God should be more earnest, more wide-awake, not
trusting in their own wisdom, but in the wisdom of
their Leader. They should set aside days for fasting and
prayer. Entire abstinence from food may not be
required, but they should eat sparingly of the most
simple food.--CD 188, 189 (1904). {LDE 82.2}

56.  Teaches self –denial
 Preparation for study of the scriptures
 When Special Divine Help Is Needed
 As a Remedy for Disease
 Heath Benefits(lecturers, athletes, patients, etc.)

57.  Fasting has an even more important purpose……

59. What does the Bible say about makeup?
(Ezekiel 23: 40, 45, Jeremiah 4:30, 2 Kings 9:22, 30)
In the texts from Ezekiel above, makeup is judged as a
connection to the manner of adultery. In other words,
makeup is used to entice all who are in the view of
those who wear it, whether or not it is your husband
or wife. Many may not wear it for this purpose, but
this is the nature of this type of adornment whether
you are sincere or not. In the Jeremiah text above, it is
noted that makeup is used to “make thyself fair”. This
denotes that it is about self, which is idolatry. God is
more concerned with our characters than this type of
adornment. See 1 Peter 3:3, 4. In the 2 Kings texts
above is it noted that the wicked queen Jezebel
adorned herself with makeup. Any sincere Christian
woman would not want to imitate Jezebel’s example. It
is also very unhealthy

60. ALL WHO ARE SUPPORTING MAKE UP..........808. Ladies may resort to
COSMETICS to restore the tint of the complexion, but they cannot thus bring back
the glow of healthful feelings to the heart. That which darkens and makes dingy the
skin also clouds the spirits and destroys cheerfulness and peace of mind.--H. R. {HL
191.1}
498. Many are ignorantly injuring their health and endangering their lives by using
COSMETICS. . . When they become heated, . . . the poison is absorbed by the pores
of the skin, and is thrown into the blood. Many lives have been sacrificed by this
means alone.--H. R. {HL 189.2}

61. Ladies may resort to COSMETICS to restore the tint of the complexion, but they
cannot thus bring back the glow of health. That which renders the skin dark and
dingy, also clouds the spirits, and destroys cheerfulness and peace of mind. Every
woman who values health should avoid hanging any weight upon the hips. The
shoulders should sustain the weight of every article of clothing worn upon the
person. This will go far to prevent the weaknesses which prevail among women to
such an alarming extent. {CTBH 88.3}
And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with
crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy
face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee,
they will seek thy life.
(Jeremiah 4:30)

62.  In order to secure the most healthful
clothing, the needs of every part of the body
must be carefully studied. The character of
the climate, the surroundings, the condition
of health, the age, and the occupation must
all be considered. Every article of dress
should fit easily, obstructing neither the
circulation of the blood nor a free, full,
natural respiration. Everything worn should
be so loose that when the arms are raised
the clothing will be correspondingly lifted.
{MH 293.3}


63. I beg of our people to walk carefully and circumspectly
before God. Follow the customs in dress so far as they
conform to health principles. Let our sisters dress
plainly, as many do, having the dress of good, durable
material, appropriate for this age, and let not the dress
question fill the mind. Our sisters should dress with
simplicity. They should clothe themselves in modest
apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety. Give to the
world a living illustration of the inward adorning of
the grace of God.--3SM 242 (1897). {LDE 88.4}
The outside appearance is an index to the heart.--1T
136 (1856). {LDE 89.1}

70. “Honorable is beautiful in the eyes of God” –Samuel Dessin "The Reviver"
Biblically speaking, if you're not covered adequately, you're naked in the eyes of God.
We wear clothes for a reason—we have SINNED from the beginning! So, by exposing
our bodies we are implying that man never sinned.
"Mini clothes are symbolic [a meaning] of those girls who want to SEDUCE a man" –
Mary Quant, the inventor of the miniskirt.
In an interview she was asked what kind of person today's woman wants to be, and
she answered, "A sexual creature. She displays her sexuality instead of this coy
business of hiding it. Today she dresses to say, 'I am sexy. I like men. I enjoy life.'"

71. Satan wants you to wear pants because he hates
God’s creation! He hates the male and female
design. He hates your femininity. He wants to
take it away from you. He wants to blur the
distinction between male and females, and he
knows that pants on women are a tool that will
help accomplish his devious goal.
There is an increasing tendency to have women
in their dress and appearance as near like the
other sex as possible, and to fashion their dress
very much like that of men, but God pronounces
it abomination. “In like manner also, that women
adorn themselves in modest apparel, with
shamefacedness and sobriety.” 1 Timothy 2:9. 1
T 457

72. Satan wants you to wear pants because he hates your family. He hates the sanctity
of marriage. He hates God’s plan of having the man be the head of the
household. He would like women to be the heads of their households. He knows
that if women wear pants, it tends to make them less submissive to their
husbands, and causes strife in the home. Frequency in divorce has escalated with
the acceptance of pants on women. The children become confused, and grow up
without a clear picture of God’s order for the sexes.
Show and fashion are the demon altar upon which many American women
sacrifice their children. 2 SM 266

74. God views a dress reaching the knee as an
extreme short dress
My views were calculated to correct the present
fashion, the extreme long dress, trailing upon
the ground, and also to correct the EXTREME
SHORT DRESS, REACHING ABOUT TO
THE KNEES, which is worn by a certain class.
I WAS SHOWN that we should shun both
extremes. By wearing the dress reaching about
to the top of a woman's gaiter boot we shall
escape the evils of the extreme long dress, and
shall also shun the evils and notoriety of the
extreme short dress. {1T 464.1}

75. God's loyal people are the light of the world, and the salt of the earth. And they
should ever remember that their influence is of value. Were they to exchange the
extreme long, for the extreme short dress, they would, to a great extent,
DESTROY THEIR INFLUENCE. UNBELIEVERS, whom it is their duty to
benefit, and seek to bring to the Lamb of God, WOULD BE DIGUSTED. Many
improvements can be made in the dress of females in reference to health, without
making so great a change as to disgust the beholder. {2SM 478.2}

77. “…many modern preachers are not upholding before their
congregations the Biblical principles of modesty and carefulness in
dress. Though we may not see naked people in the congregation, we
CERTAINLY SEE MANY HALF NAKED WOMEN IN THE
CONGREGATION WEARING MINISKIRTS, MAYBE EVEN
MICROSKIRTS, SLEEVELESS BLOUSES, and PLUNGING
NECKLINES.
The perversions that are permitted in the Christian church today—
indeed encouraged, or at least not discouraged—surely are SIGNS OF
A FORM OF GODLINESS but a denial of the power of the everlasting
gospel. To permit and to follow the PAGAN PRACTICES of Egypt and
call it Christianity IS AN INSULT TO JEHOVAH.” –The
Entertainment Syndrome, Standish, 9.

78. Counsel for the women of God's church:
"Do not, my sisters, trifle longer with your own souls and with God. I HAVE BEEN
SHOWN that the main cause of your backsliding is your love of dress. This leads to
the neglect of grave responsibilities, and you find yourselves with scarcely a spark of
the love of God in your hearts. Without delay renounce the CAUSE of your
backsliding, because it is sin against your own soul and against God. Be not hardened
by the deceitfulness of sin." {CH 603.1}
Why will the majority receive the mark of the Beast?
Satan says: "For fear of wanting FOOD and CLOTHING they will join with the
world in transgressing God's law. The earth will be wholly under my dominion." --
Last Day Events, pg 149.

80. Simplicity of dress will make a sensible woman appear to the best
advantage. We judge of a person's character by the style of dress worn.
Gaudy apparel betrays vanity and weakness. A modest, godly woman will
dress modestly. A refined taste, a cultivated mind, will be revealed in the
choice of simple and appropriate attire. {CH 601.2}

81. "In ancient Rome, sex trade was not
illegal and female prostitutes were
readily identified by their high heels"
(Wilson 2005).

86. The REALITY OF HEELS

88. Just when you thought it was safe to wear high heels, new research has revealed the
extent of the damage they can inflict on unsuspecting wearers.
RELATED: High Heels Aren't The Cause Of Bunions
A series of 3D scans released this week show that the “foot deformity” caused by
wearing high heels is actually much more complicated than first thought.
It’s the first time doctors have been able to properly investigate exactly how the foot
behaves when contorted into a pair of high heels – and unfortunately, the news isn’t
good.
"With high heels, the toes are squashed inside the shoe,” said Andy Goldberg, a foot
and ankle specialist. “The more stiletto-shaped they are, the worse it is. The toes not
only get squashed, but they become clawed too."
http://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/marie-claire/fashion/news/article/-/18573676/3d-scans-reveal-how-
damaging-high-heels-are/

89. High Heels
In essence, high heels disrupt gait and posture for the entire body.
In a study of varying heel heights, it was found that knee, hip and
back problems may in part be related to a restriction of the
joints. Recent research from the University of Hong Kong suggests
that the medium and long term effects of high heels may be more far
reaching than anyone has suspected so far, and is very likely to
contribute to common musculo-skeletal problems. A team of
researchers repeated a set of images for a young woman who had
started wearing high heels for the first time in her life: in just two
weeks of daily wearing of the new shoes the cancellous structures
had altered in line with the changed forces on the hip! They were
amazed at how quickly the second-hardest substance of the body
can change (the enamel of the teeth is the hardest). The really high
shoes force you to virtually walk on tip-toes, putting a great deal of
force through the joints of the toes in positions for which they are
not ideally suited.

90. “Fashion is deteriorating the intellect
and eating out the spirituality of our
people. Obedience to fashion is
pervading our Seventh-day Adventist
churches and is doing more than any
other power to separate our people
from God.” {4T 647.2}

91. How does the dictionary refer to ornaments and jewelry?
Ornaments/Ornamentation: Something that adorns or decorates. That which
embellishes; something added to another thing, rendering it more beautiful to the
eye. Decorations; to deck; to adorn. ("Jewelry" is a relatively modern name for
"ornaments.")
Jewelry/Jewel(s)(ed): Ornaments, such as bracelets, or rings made of precious
metals, set with gems or imitation gems; a small natural or artificial gem; a costly
ornament of precious metal or gems; to adorn with jewels.

92. Strange Gods
• Genesis 35:2-4 "Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him,
Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean.... And they gave unto
Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were
in their ears."
Strange Vanities
• Jeremiah 4:30 "And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou
clothes t thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee withornaments of gold,
though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy
lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life."
• Jeremiah 8:19 "Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because
of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the lord in Zion? is not her king in her?
Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange
vanities?"

93. Tinkling Ornaments
• Isaiah 3:18 "In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of
their tinkling ornaments ..."
• Psalm 115:4 "Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's
hands."
• Psalm 135:15 "The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the
work of men's hands."
• Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are
upon the earth;... and covetousness, which is idolatry."
• 1 Samuel 15:23 "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and
stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.

94. Not one penny should be spent for a circlet of gold to testify that we are
married.(Rings dont save marriages its a relationship with each other and God)
In countries where the custom is imperative, we have no burden to condemn
those who have their marriage ring; let them wear it if they can do so
conscientiously, but let not our missionaries feel that the wearing of the ring
will increase their influence one jot or tittle.—Special Testimonies to Ministers
and Workers 3:6 (Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 180, 181).

96. LAST DAY EVENTS PAGE 83
Evening and morning join with your children
in God's worship, reading His Word and
singing His praise. Teach them to repeat
God's law.--Ev 499 (1904).
Let the seasons of family worship be
short and spirited. Do not let your children
or any member of your family dread them
because of their tediousness or lack of
interest.

97.  Research has shown that spirituality helps to
control stress, strengthen the immune
system, and protect against heart disease
and cancer. Beyond these benefits, God
promises eternal life to those who trust
Him—a life of perfect health and freedom
from pain, fear, and death.

98. Satan well knows that all whom he can lead to
neglect prayer and the searching of the
Scriptures, will be overcome by his attacks.–

103. The Original Diet
Grains, fruits, nuts, and
vegetables constitute the diet
chosen for us by our Creator. -
Counsels on Diet and Foods pg

105. Food is any substance which when
absorbed into the blood will nourish
the tissues, repair waste, provides
growth, and energy to the body
without injury to any of its parts.

106. God is trying to lead us back, step by step, to
His original design--that man should subsist
upon the natural products of the earth. Among
those who are waiting for the coming of the
Lord meat eating will eventually be done away;
flesh will cease to form a part of their diet. We
should ever keep this end in view and endeavor
to work steadily toward it.--CH 450 (1890).
{LDE 81.5}

107. The question is, "Are we willing to be true health
reformers?" {CD 408.2}

108. “Vegetarians are 50 percent less
likely to develop heart disease, and
they have 40 percent of the cancer
rate of meat eaters”
Neil Barnard, MD
The Power of Your Plate, pg. 26

109. “Scientists have also found that
vegetarians have stronger immune
systems than their meat-eating
friends; this means that they are less

111. 1Co 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be
ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all
passed through the sea;
1Co 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the
sea;
1Co 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
1Co 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank
of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
1Co 10:5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they
were overthrown in the wilderness.
1Co 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we
should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

112. Num 11:4 And the mixt multitude that was among them
fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again,
and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
Num 11:5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in
Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the
leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
Num 11:6 But now our soul is dried away: there is
nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.

113. Greater reforms should be seen among the people who
claim to be looking for the soon appearing of Christ.
Health reform is to do among our people a work
which it has not yet done. There are those who ought to
be awake to the danger of meat eating, who are still
eating the flesh of animals, thus endangering the
physical, mental, and spiritual health. Many who are
now only half converted on the question of meat eating
will go from God's people, to walk no more with them.
{CH 575.2}

114. Next slide is about physical effects

115. Many times when meat is eaten,
it decays in the stomach, and
creates disease. Cancers, tumors,
and pulmonary diseases are
largely caused by meat eating.
{CD 383.4}

116. What other ways does meat
eating affect us physically?

117. Next slides are about spiritual effects

118. By the use of flesh meats the
animal nature is strengthened
and the spiritual nature
weakened. {CD 383.1}

119. A diet of flesh meat tends to
develop animalism. A
development of animalism
lessens spirituality, rendering the
mind incapable of understanding
truth. {CH 575.4}

121. Do not, I beg of you, argue that meat eating
must be right… Subsisting on the flesh of
dead animals is a gross way of living, and as a
people, we should be working a change, a
reform, teaching the people that there are
healthful preparations of food that will give
them more strength, and better preserve their
health, than meat. {CD 409.2}

122. It is a mistake to suppose that muscular strength depends
on the use of animal food. The needs of the system can be
better supplied, and more vigorous health can be enjoyed
without its use. The grains, with fruits, nuts, and
vegetables, contain all the nutritive properties necessary to
make good blood. These elements are not so well or so fully
supplied by a flesh diet. Had the use of flesh been
essential to health and strength, animal food would have
been included in the diet appointed man in the beginning.
{CG 384.1}

123. Do you know why God allowed us to eat flesh food?

124. Didn’t Jesus eat Fish?

125. Didn’t God say we can eat meat?

126. When the God of Israel brought His people out of Egypt, He
withheld flesh meats from them in a great measure, but
gave them bread from heaven, and water from the flinty rock. With
this they were not satisfied. They loathed the food given them,
and wished themselves back in Egypt, where they could sit by the
fleshpots. They preferred to endure slavery, and even death,
rather than to be deprived of flesh. God granted their desire,
giving them flesh, and leaving them to eat till their gluttony
produced a plague, from which many of them died. {CD 148.3}

127. When flesh food is discarded, its place
should be supplied with a variety of
grains, nuts, vegetables, and fruits, that
will be both nourishing and appetizing.
This is especially necessary in the case of
those who are weak, or who are taxed
with continuous labor. {CG 384.3}

129. Milk

132. It takes 21.2 lbs. of milk to make 1 lb. of butter.
It takes 10 lbs. of milk to make 1 lb. of hard cheese.
It takes 12 lbs. of milk to make 1 lb. of ice cream.
It takes 11 lbs. of milk to make 1 lb. of non-fat dry milk.
It takes 7.4 lbs. of milk to make 1 lb. of dry whole milk

133. Humans have made the cow a modern factory—a
perpetual milk machine. Three thousand years
ago, a cow gave approximately 200 pounds of milk
in a year. Today, the modern cow gives more than
15,000 pounds of milk, 75 times as much. And this
over-production is causing more diseases in cows
(as well as humans). In fact, 89% of cows today
have the bovine leukemia virus.

134. Every sip of milk has 59 different
powerful hormones. Do you want
your family to consume, estrogen,
progesterone, or prolactin?

135. Cow's milk also contains the following:
59 Active Hormones
Allergens
Fat
Cholesterol

136. Most of the dairy products we buy have the
following in measurable quantities:
Herbicides
Pesticides
Dioxin (up to 2200 times the safe level){a carcinogenic hydrocarbon}
Up to 52 powerful antibiotics
Blood
Pus
Bacteria and viruses

137. What are the physical effects consuming of milk?

138. Cheese

142. How is cheese made?

143. What are the physical effects of eating cheese?

144. Cheese should never be
introduced into the
stomach. {TSDF 14.1}

145. Chocolate

147. How is chocolate made?

148. What are the physical effects of
consuming chocolate?

149. White Rice

150. Well what’s wrong with white rice?

151. White Flour

152. What now is wrong with white flour?

153. ..the superfine white flour is not the best.
Its use is neither healthful nor economical.
Fine-flour bread is lacking in nutritive
elements to be found in bread made from
the whole wheat. It is a frequent cause of
constipation and other unhealthful
conditions. {TSDF 10.7}

154. Margarine & Butter

156. What are the physical effects of
consuming butter?

157. Butter is less harmful when
eaten on cold bread than
when used in cooking; but, as
a rule, it is better to dispense
with it altogether. 7 T.--135
{TSDF 13.3}

158. Let the diet reform be progressive. Let the people
be taught how to prepare food without the use of
milk and butter. Tell them that the time will soon
come when there will be no safety in using eggs,
milk, cream, or butter, because disease in animals is
increasing in proportion to the increase of
wickedness among men. The time is near when,
because of the iniquity of the fallen race, the whole
animal creation will groan under the diseases that
curse our earth. {TSDF 13.5}

162. Anything Else?

163. Those who love and serve God
should be allowed their convictions.
We may not feel justified in doing as
they do, but we should not allow
differences of opinion to create
disunion. {TSDF 13.10}

164. TIPS AND THOUGHTS WHEN
CHANGING TO A VEGAN DIET
Ask yourself the question: “Why do I want to be a vegan?”
Stay Simple as BEST as possible i.e. avoid processed foods
What about children and snacks?
Can I eat anything except fruits and vegetables, what about something
sweet?
Isn’t being a vegan expensive?(social-status, job, residence, family)
Normally No!Try Gardening(Upcoming Presentation called “Country
Living”)
Practice ALL 10 Laws of Health to achieve maximum benefits
What about some other nutrients like Vitamin B12, Iron etc…..[Next Slide]

165. VITAMIN B12
Not Found anywhere in nature
Produced by Bacteria in Stomach

166. IRON
Dried beans and dark green leafy vegetables are especially good sources
of iron, even better on a per calorie basis than meat. Iron absorption is
increased markedly by eating foods containing vitamin C along with foods
containing iron. Vegetarians do not have a higher incidence of iron
deficiency than do meat eaters.

169. OMEGA-3

170. Item Quantity Omega 3 in Milligrams
Sweet Potatoes 1 Piece 38
Banana 1 38
Apple (Unpeeled) 1 25
Roasted Potato 1 17
Cucumber(slices with
10 12
peel)
Whole Wheat Bread 11
Soybean Oil (Crisco
Wesson)
1tbs. 927
Canned Spinach 1 cup 353
Almonds ¼ cup 136

171. The time will come when we may have
to discard some of the articles of diet
we now use, such as milk and cream
and eggs; but it is not necessary to
bring upon ourselves perplexity by
premature and extreme restrictions.
Wait until the circumstances demand it
and the Lord prepares the way for it.
{9T 162.3}

172. Wherever the truth is proclaimed, instruction
should be given in the preparation of healthful
foods. God desires that in every place the
people shall be taught to use wisely the
products that can be easily obtained. Skillful
teachers should show the people how to utilize
to the very best advantage the products that
they can raise or secure in their section of the
country. Thus the poor, as well as those in better
circumstances, can learn to live healthfully.
