According to the Children’s medical safety research institute. “Thirty-two million American children – a full 43% of them – suffer from at least one of 20 chronic illnesses not including obesity.'” Illnesses caused by vaccinations.
Most children are exposed to, “50 doses of 14 vaccines by age six, 69 doses of 16 pharmaceutical vaccines containing powerfully immune-altering ingredients by age 18. The article also exposes the use of aluminum, mercury and tissue from aborted fetuses found in vaccinations.
Proponents for vaccinations still quote debunked study.
Proponents for vaccinations still quote a 2004 Pediatrics study claiming to refute a link between autism and vaccines even though one of its authors, their own top scientist William Thompson, has admitted that he and his colleagues colluded to obscure and then shred data (he kept copies) which showed a link between autism and the MMR vaccine. “Oh my God, I can’t believe we did what we did,” Thompson confessed in one taped telephone chat to Brian Hooker, a bioengineer professor at Simpson University and the father of an autistic child.
Permanent damage cause by mass vaccinations!
Every “magic pill” that promises help, but bypass God’s advice has a dark side. My wife Shary and I grew up in homes where the doctor’s word was gospel and indisputable. There was a pill or surgery for every ailment. We grew up in the fifties and sixties, when science was king, and vaccines were supposed to eradicate all disease. We grew up in a culture where there were mass immunizations.
Vaccine lines of the 60s
We were all lined up at schools like lemmings, to receive our sugar cube vaccinations. Later they found that some children received mild crippling from those vaccinations, My wife Shary was one of those children. Shary had to wear leg braces after being vaccinated. To this day, the effects from that vaccine means that shary has to buy two different sizes of shoes.; one size for her left foot and another for her right foot. Because of the vaccine, one foot is a size bigger than the other. Another side effect of those vaccinations is that Shary has one leg that is longer than the other, which illustrates that there are no magic pills without harmful side effects. Today, polio vaccinations are the #1 cause of polio, is that crazy or what.
So what does God have to say about vaccines, drugs, and medications???
Sugar cube vaccine we lined up and took at our local school.
Our English word Pharmacy, is derived from the Greek word “Pharmakeus.”
According to Strong’s Greek Dictionary…
Pharmakeus can be translated…druggist, pharmacist, sorcerer or poisoner.
Pharmakeiacan be translated…medication, magic, sorcery or witchcraft.
When the Bible uses the word Pharmakeia, it is referring to medications drugs or vaccinations.
When the Bible uses the word Pharmakeus,it is referring to a person who makes, distributes or uses drugs and vaccinations.
The following passages are Bible verses that contain the Greek words Pharmakeus and Pharmakeia. We have left the Greek word, untranslated, in each passage so you can get an idea how God views the use of vaccines and drugs and the giving and making of vaccines and drugs.
Galatians 5:19-21 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity debauchery; 20 idolatry and (Pharmakeia); hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Revelation 9:20-21 “The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver bronze stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their(Pharmakeia) their sexual immorality or their thefts.
Revelation 18:23 “…By your(Pharmakeia)all the nations were ledastray.”
Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice(Pharmakeus,) the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
Revelations 22:15 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice (Pharmakeus), the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.”
God places vaccinations and drugs in the same category with murderers.
God puts the use of drugs and vaccinations, (Pharmakeus) in the same category, as drunkenness, sexually immorality and vile murderers; maybe because peoples lives are being ruined and people are dying. He says that those who practice, (continually commit) these sins will have their place in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. These passages from the Bible make no distinction between illegal drugs and legal drugs. Most importantly, your body does not know the difference either.
Schauermann family with many of the grand-kids and spouses.
Our kids are much healthier than Shary and I were as children, as can be seen, genetic predisposition to disease is extremely overrated. Most of them never saw a doctor while growing up, we never paid for health insurance because we never needed it.
Most of our children never got any vaccinations, though some were forced to by the military. One of our sons after receiving military vaccinations got really sick, which underscores the statement, “every “magic pill” that promises help but bypass God’s advice, has a dark side’.
Biblical principles to live by.
Doctors Are Not Gods.
Science Is Not King. Man’s Wisdom Is Foolishness to God.
Pharmacia (Drugs, vaccinations) Are Not Your Savior,
God has placed instructions in his word to help us. If we follow His instructions, God says he will keep us free from every disease and give us a full lifespan.
At the end of the day, THE ONLY WAY TO EXCEPTIONAL EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, IS TO SPEND TIME EACH DAY LISTENING TO THE GREAT PHYSICIAN, JESUS CHRIST AND DOING WHAT HE SAYS!

“Vaccinations are not safe” http://info.cmsri.org/the-driven-researcher-blog/vaccinated-vs.-unvaccinated-guess-who-is-sicker?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook
Not all disease and pain can be fixed by medicine or nutrition. The source of your problem may be spiritual!
Often people spend all their time and money pursuing a physical answer to a spiritual problem.
When everything else has failed; Jesus can you help me?
She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse.
Mark 5:23
A woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her. Luke 8:43
In both of the preceding passages, Jesus healed these women who had run out of medical options.
When you have spent thousands on doctors and drugs, and gotten worse. Then you bought every nutritional supplement known to man and are no better. You followed the advice of friends who told you to stop eating foods with chemicals, gluten, sugar, saturated fats, dairy, etc. Now you are starving and still sick as a dog.
You may not have a physical problem, you may have a spiritual problem.
A good example is of this was when one of our girls was 7, a babysitter exposed her to the movie “It.” The “monster” in this movie disguises himself as a clown. I am told, the monster lived in the sewers and would come out of toilets to get people. This movie was written by Stephen King and was designed to scare the heck out of people. The problem with movies like this is they can do just the opposite. They scare something into people and it is not good!
It wasn’t her fault!
Our daughter didn’t want to watch the movie, but the house was dark and she was afraid to go to another place in the house alone. While watching the movie, she was overcome with fear. She understandably believed the lie, that this monster was real and was going to get her. The Bible says, “the devil is a liar and he is the father of lies.” The devil uses lies in order to accomplish his goals.
After watching this movie our daughter could hardly sleep, and when she was able to sleep, she had to have the lights on. She was afraid to go to the bathroom; fear ruled her life. Even though it was not her fault, she was exposed to this horrible movie, it had a spiritual effect on her. The devil never plays fair.
Lying spirits bring disease.
The spirit of fear that gripped our daughter brought with it the most severe case of shingles I have ever heard of. She broke out with painful fluid filled blisters, they completely covered her stomach and looked like fish scales. We tried everything to get rid of the shingles but in the end it was prayer that did it.
Are you dealing with fear or do you have a physical ailment that won’t go away? It may be time to seek the Lord and do some spiritual warfare.
“Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
1 Peter 5:8
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the fullarmor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground”
Ephesians 6:10-13a
Notice, it’s not our armor, it’s God’s full armor!
It’s not our power; it’s God’s mighty power!
In every case, Jesus is the answer.
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
What our daughter needed was to take some thoughts captive, but we need God’s weapons to do that!
So what are those weapons?
The Name of Jesus is the most powerful weapon. Simply call on the name of the Lord.
The Word of God. Take thoughts captive, and command those thoughts that are opposed to God’s Word to leave! Every time one of those lies comes to your mind, quote God’s word that is the truth. For instance, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” Find scripture that applies to your situation or thoughts.
Faith. Jesus said that when you are praying and believe what you say, you will get what you are praying for. (Matthew 21:22) You and I must have faith in God.
Confession. James 5: 14-16 tells us to, “confess our sins to each other and pray for each other so that we may be healed.” Often people are healed when they confess their sins. Find someone you trust, and don’t leave anything out, then receive God’s forgiveness. (1 John 1:7-9)
Our daughter was eventually healed. Sometimes spiritual warfare takes time, not every war is won in a moment. Sometimes you have to battle for an extended period, and if you do not give up, you will prevail. Our daughter now a mom with 5 very healthy kids.
We have prayed with countless people who have been set free from all manner of illnesses. God will do it for you as well. Jesus is the answer, God’s weapons are mighty and they are always available.
Truly; the only way to exceptional emotional and physical health, and wellness, is to spend time each day with the Great Physician, Jesus Christ!

Autism has become an epidemic, it is moving so fast it is hard to keep up with the new numbers.
According to a new report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One in 68 U.S. children has autism. One in 54 boys has it. This is a 30% increase from 1 in 88 two years ago. Autism rates now 1 in 68 U.S. children: CDC – CNN.com [1]
[3]
Autism, what is it?
Autism refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication.
What are the symptoms of autism?
It is characterized by social-interaction difficulties, communication challenges and a tendency to engage in repetitive behaviors.
Common traits
Children often don’t respond to their name.
They don’t normally point at objects or things of interest.
Playing “pretend” games, is virtually impossible.
They avoid eye contact
People with autism die 30 years younger on average than their peers. [3]
The national organization that receives millions of dollars each year to fight autism, “Autism Speaks” says that genetics plays a huge role in autism.
“It’s noteworthy that we’re still finding new autism genes, let alone 18 of them, after a decade of intense focus,” says study co-author Mathew Pletcher, Ph.D., Autism Speaks’ vice president for genomic discovery. “With each new gene discovery, we’re able to explain more cases of autism, each with its own set of behavioral effects and many with associated medical concerns.” [2]
How can you make sure that your children and your friend’s children are not a part of the epidemic, if it is genetically driven?
God said, “My people perish for lack of knowledge.” He did not say, “My people perish because I (God) gave them the wrong genetic makeup.” Even if you don’t believe in the God of Creation, the theory of evolution requires millions of years for genetic change. These people are trying to get us to believe that the genetic makeup of an entire country has changed if half a century. No, that is ridiculous and completely unscientific, autism is a cause and effect disease. There are things that increase your risk and things that reduce your risk, So what are those things?
The people of God are getting sick just like everyone else, but should they?
Hosea 4:6 “my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. “Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.”
God has promised to keep us and our children free from disease, giving us a full lifespan. He promises this, if we will just listen to what he says, pay attention to his laws and treat his word as divine truth.
Exodus 23:22, 25-26
22 If you listen carefully to what he says and do all that I say, 25 Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, 26 and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span.
At some level every Christian must come to grips with this passage!
Either the word of God is true or it is not, either God will remove all sickness from us or he won’t, either God will give us a full lifespan or he won’t. For any real believer, it is not a matter of whether God will keep his promise, it is whether we have rejected His knowledge. Whether we have listened to him and done what he has said to do. Jesus warned people who are hearers of the word but not doers. He said they are like a house built on sand, when the storms of life come, they collapse. People who are doers of the Word are like a house built on rock. When the storms of life come (epidemics), they stand secure.
Autism Speaks wants you to believe that it is a result of your genetic makeup, God says that it is a result of what you have done. They want you to donate to their cause, so they can do more research. God says to simply, “read My word, do what I say, and you will not be in danger of having a child with autism. Or as we will demonstrate, if you have autism, you could be healed of it by simply following God’s advice.
A new study says that inducing labor can cause babies to be born with autism.
According to new research inducing labor or speeding up labor with drugs can increase the chances of your baby having autism by 35%. The Bible says there is a time to be born (Ecclesiastes). Evidently, when we try to change the time to fit into our schedule or the doctor’s schedule, it can increase the chances of having a child with autism. When we use drugs to speed up birth, it increases our baby’s chances of autism. The Bible is emphatic about the disastrous effects of drug use. (See Wellness Gospel blogs concerning Doctors and Drugs.)
Eating refined foods causes diabetes and evidently causes autism in children born to mothers who eat refined foods.
Doctor Wallach says that he can cure autism in two weeks by simply removing refined foods like sugar and white flour, and feeding autistic children eggs and certain trace minerals.
The Bible says not to eat refined foods, it says you might as well cut your throat with a knife. (Proverbs 23:1-3) Diabetes and autism are caused by refined foods.
Check out these videos for more information:
Wallach on Autism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkAKOFeV9vM
Evidently exposure to sunlight can greatly reduce your child’s chances of being autistic.
A new study shows a 200% increase in the disease, if your baby is born in the darkest months. This is probably due to a lack of vitamin D, which your body produces when exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D can also be assimilated by eating fish or taking fish oil. The Bible says that fish with fins and scales are very good food. (Leviticus 11:9)
This is an epidemic that you and your loved ones do not have to participate in. So far, no one following our Biblical guidelines has ever had a child with autism. God has promised you a disease-free life and a full lifespan. Simply listening to God and doing what he says is the safest life plan you can pursue. Everything you need is found in God’s word and in his son. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life”, “the enemy comes only to kill, steal and destroy, I have come that you may have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10)
Truly; the only way to exceptional emotional and physical health and wellness, is to spend time each day with the great physician, Jesus Christ!

When second stage labor hit, I was in for a shock!
Childbirth. At the ripe old age of 21, my wife Shary, had just pushed our first child out and the nurse or doctor, I can’t remember which, handed Leslie to me. Now I must explain who I was in 1973. My best friends gave me the nick name Stony, why, because I was pretty much a flat-line of emotion. It wasn’t that I had a stony heart, I just didn’t ever get real happy and I never cried. But when they handed Leslie to me and she was literally seconds old, she looked me in the eye just like you would if you were trying to read me. She and I communicated with our eyes and she got to me; I cried like a baby. It was kind of like when Jim Carry playing the part of the Grinch says, “What’s happening to me? I’m feeling, and I am leaking.”
Birth Bonding
There is a phenomenon in childbirth called birth bonding. It is powerful and it can happen to anyone who is at the birth. At Forest Grove Community Hospital, it was common for nurses to stay past their shift if a baby was going to be born. They just wanted to get that feeling and they didn’t care if they weren’t getting paid. Is it God in the room, or is it just the smells and sights? I don’t know the answer to that question, all I know is that it’s real. That is, if the mother, baby and father are not medicated in childbirth. Don’t laugh, I have seen medicated fathers at birth, and it is not cool.
Bonding in childbirth has a lot of very valuable side effects. We had a family show up at one of our childbirth classes, they had already given birth and wanted to show off their new baby. When they came in, their son, who was about nine, was carrying the baby, he unwrapped it for us to see, he was so proud. His parents said that he was so loving and helpful with the baby that it was amazing to all who saw him. They said he would change diapers and hold his new sister any chance he got. This nine year old did not exhibit any sibling rivalry, which is almost universal among young children . Most kids treat the new arrival as competition; someone who is crowding out their time with mom and dad. This young man had been at the birth and got bonded.
My wife has witnessed just the opposite. Not only siblings but mothers who did not bond with their child. Right after a childbirth mothers will act like they don’t even have a new baby. They would just as soon leave the baby in the nursery and do their own thing. Mothers who have been bonded can’t get enough of the baby, this sure makes parenting a lot easier. People often ask us, “how did you do that, how did you give birth to and raise all those kids? We just couldn’t do it.” I usually tell them that we wouldn’t have done it either if we had to do it the way most people in America do it. Working with the way God created us is much easier than trying to do things the way the world does them.
Childbirth can be a wonderful experience!
Childbirth can be this wonderful thing, there is that potential, but it needs to be done God’s way for that to happen. That means the less interference, the better. Many people believe that it is virtually impossible to safely have a baby without medicine, doctors and hospitals. We often emphasize that childbirth is not a disease, it is not a malfunction, it is how God planned for us to bring human beings into the world that were made in his image. Shary often says, “How do people think the human race grew to its present size? Women have been giving birth for thousands of years, without doctors.” Someone at this point usually points out how many women died in birth a hundred years ago, and we will agree. But a hundred years ago, they were not doing it God’s way either. Doctors who were carrying disease were infecting women with life threatening bacteria, women were giving birth flat on their backs; there is a better way.
The urge to push and getting baby in position.
The end of transition in childbirth is signaled when the mother gets the urge to push. This is because the baby has moved down the birth canal and has engaged in the pelvis. Often medical people want to rush childbirth with a drug called pitocin. Pitocin is a synthetic replacement for a women’s natural hormone oxytocin. At our second birth, Shary was given Pitocin. While siting with her, I read the drug insert. Seriously, it was simply because I was bored. But the more I read the more alarmed I got. There was a list of symptoms, the drug manufactures said if you have any of these symptoms, you absolutely should not take this drug, Shary had almost all of them. When we told our doctor, he freaked out and told the nurse to stop giving it to Shary immediately.
Pitocin makes the contractions harder which is supposed to making the baby come quicker. Shary said those contractions were very different than the normal contractions. Later at a childbirth seminar a pharmacist explained that pitocin just causes the uterus to squeeze. But oxytocin, God’s hormone causes the uterus to squeeze and twist. The twisting motion is necessary to get the baby into the proper position to make it through the woman’s pelvis. It is almost like God knew that the baby’s head is an oval and the mother’s pelvis is an oval and that rotating the baby would get the ovals to line up.
The practice of inducing labor to speed up the process.
Then there is the practice of inducing childbirth with drugs. Doctors persist in inducing labor when THEY feel that the baby is ready to be born. Ecclesiastes 2:2a says, “There is a time to be born and a time to die”God knows when that time is. It cannot be improved on with drugs and scalpels.
Often inducing childbirth is done for the doctor’s convenience. In Astoria, Oregon, in the late 70’s, during a panel discussion with five doctors and five midwives, the topic was argued for some time whether or not artificially inducing labor was a good thing or not. The theory is that all babies need to be born nine months after conception, and that if they are in the mother longer than that, bad things will happen to the baby. Some cited that the placenta begins to calcify after nine months and presumably that would mean that the baby wouldn’t be getting the nutrition it needed to be healthy. The discussion went back and forth till I asked two simple questions.
“How many of you have ever seen a baby harmed by inducing labor?” They all admitted that it was a common occurrence. Babies were born prematurely quite often, simply because the due date was miscalculated. In every case this became a huge financial burden on the family, as well as an emotional one. In many cases there was permanent damage to the child, and in some cases even death. But, they reasoned, it was a chance that had to be taken; because sometimes when you guess at a due date you get it wrong. Everybody makes mistakes, which is only human. Then I asked my last question which proved to be the last question of the day.
“How many of you have seen babies that were harmed by being left in the mother too long? There was a long uneasy silence in the room, no-one spoke, none of the doctors or midwives could think of a single case where the baby was harmed by being left in the mother too long. There was an accumulation of over 100 years of childbirth practice in that room, yet no-one could think of an account of a baby that had actually been harmed by being allowed to remain in the perfect environment of it’s mother’s womb till she naturally went into labor. Often times inducing leads to cesarean-sections. Cesarean-sections are dangerous. they are dangerous to the mother and child. First, cesareans are major surgery, cutting through some of the largest muscles in a woman’s body. Secondly approximately one third of the babies born cesarean, get pneumonia because without the squeezing process of birth they are born with their lungs full of water. If that is not enough Cesareans are horrendously expensive.[3][4]
In childbirth, God thought of everything.
Newborn with the umbilical cord still attached.
It gets even better. God made babies with plates in their heads that have not connected yet. The size of the baby’s head can be bigger than the mother pelvis but the plates are able to slide past each other in order make the baby’s head longer and narrower so it will fit through her pelvis. If that was not enough, God provided a hormone that would loosen the mother’s joints so her pelvic opening could enlarge. That hormone also changes the molecular structure in the mother’s perineum, (the skin and muscle opening the baby has to go through). It causes the tissue to become like Silly Putty. Silly Putty will break if you pull on it quickly, but if you slowly pull on it, it will stretch and stretch. The mother’s perineum will do the same if you slowly keep pressure on it. God thought of everything, we just need to work with him and how he made us. That cannot be improved upon with drugs, knives and machines.
Psalm 139:14“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
We suggest a mother push when she feels like it and doesn’t push when she doesn’t feel like it. If she feels her perineum burning she should stop pushing and wait. This is where the birthing stool mentioned in Genesis comes in. If a women is lying on her back, almost all the pressure on the perineum is on the lower half her perineum. That half is required to do all the stretching. If a woman is on her back, the lower half of the perineum is always where she will tear. If she is upright and squatting on the birthing stool, there is even pressure on the entire perineum, thus making it much less likely for the perineum to tear.
What to do about the umbilical cord?
After the baby is born the cord will still be attached and pulsating. This is God’s extra protection for babies. As long as the cord is pulsating the baby is still getting oxygen from the mother, even if the baby has not started to breath on it’s own. According to new studies sited by the National Institutes of Health delayed cutting of the cord can lower a child’s risk of low blood volume, anemia, cerebral palsy , autism , asthma and ADHD. [1] God did not miss anything, he even made the cord long enough that the baby can still be attached and reach the mothers breast to nurse. Why is this so important? Nursing causes oxytocin to be released into the mother’s blood, which contracts the uterus, detaches the placenta and prevents unnecessary loss of blood. The practice of clamping and cutting the cord before it stops pulsing on it’s own is unnecessary at best, and extremely harmful to the mother and baby at the worst. [2]
Clamping and cutting the umbilical cord.
Often people mention that their baby almost died because the cord was in a knot. The cord is more like an electrical cord than a garden hose. It is extremely difficult to restrict the flow of blood with a knot. Most knots can easily be untied by a trained midwife or husband with a little common sense.
More benefits to bonding!
After the baby and the placenta have been born, it is important for the mother, father and siblings to spend some quality time with the baby. One to two hours is necessary for bonding to be fully effective. This is not a time for a big party it is better for the immediate family to be left to themselves. The more skin to skin contact the better, the quieter and more peaceful the better. Studies have shown that babies who have been able to bond up to one hour cry 500% less than babies that do not bond, and mothers who do not bond clean their babies 400% more than mothers who do bond with their babies. I am not sure I understand the cleaning thing but I do know that crying babies will drive you crazy, so maybe crazy moms clean babies as a form of therapy.
Seriously, we could never have given birth to and raised 13 kids without doing all the above. But by working with God’s plan and design for birth we have been able to experience it as the blessing it was intended to be.

Childbirth. By the time I was through the ER and in my room I was strongly advised to get my epidural or it might be too late.
Childbirth does not always go according to plans. Some friends of ours, who will forever remain nameless, were having their first baby and hoping for a drug free natural birth. They had heard about the benefits of birth bonding without medication and really wanted to experience it. Unfortunately, during the transition between first and second stage labor, they gave in to the hospital’s pressure for her to be medicated. Afterwards, regretting the decision, they determined not let that happen the next time. But, with their second child, once again during transition they gave in and again regretted the decision. The reason she regretted having drugs was because she felt so crummy after the birth, and the bonding experience was not at all satisfactory while she was drugged up. So, on the third try, mom told dad, “no matter what I say in transition, no matter what I do, don’t let me take drugs, I always regret it.”
They took our childbirth classes and we explained to them that transition only lasts for a very short time. We also taught her husband, during transition, to just keep telling her, “You are almost there, just relax, this only lasts for a short while, you can do this”. So, her dutiful, loving husband followed her wishes and our advice. Once again during transition she lost it and began to beg him for drugs. He told her to, “Just relax, it’s almost over, you can do this”, and; “Honey, you told me not to let you take drugs this birth”. About the third or fourth time of this, she grabbed him, looked him in the eye and said, “Forget what I told you, give me the drugs!” He quietly repeated his mantra and sure enough she went into second stage labor. Things went a lot easier the rest of the birth, and afterwards she profusely thanked him.
There is this thing in labor called transition. Yep, there is a transition between first stage labor and second stage labor. This is where women say the darnedest things to their husbands, things good Christians should never say to anyone. It is normal, it happens, so we tell husbands and anyone else who might be on the receiving end, not to take it personal; she didn’t mean it and she may not ever remember she said it afterwards. So why does this happen? It is very important to recognize, during labor, a women’s body is exerting an incredible amount of energy to expel the baby. At birth, the uterus is the largest muscle in the woman’s body, and for that matter it is larger than any muscle in a man’s body. So, when she is giving birth, she can be likened to an Olympic athlete who is running the mile and is on their third lap. This is not a time when they are in the mood to chit chat, as a matter of fact, their body is sending all the blood to the working muscles and not much is going to the brain. This is not a bad thing, it’s just the facts. At this stage the husband or coach needs to be like an athletic coach and just keep encouraging his athlete, that the race is nearly over. In a few more contractions she will be in second stage where her body will get to take some regular and longer breaks.
My wife is smarter than I am, has read more books on childbirth than I have, she has attended and delivered far more babies than I have, but when she is in labor, she can’t remember a thing. The big problem in American childbirth, is that the woman studies up on birth in preparation for her delivery. Her husband, on the other hand, figures, she has it all covered. But, when the actual birth happens, she forgets everything. This is one reason we recommend husband coached childbirth. We believe that a trained husband is far more valuable at the birth than any number of other attendants. Why? In Childbirth part III we shared how God preprogramed women to listen to their husbands during childbirth, when they often won’t listen to other birth attendants. [1]
Expectant mothers typically study up on childbirth in preparation for the event.
Because most mothers invest more time and energy in planning their birth, we suggest mothers put on paper how they want the birth to go. Then we suggest she gives this written plan to her husband, doula, doctor and any nurse that might get involved. This gives her the best chance of having the birth end up the way she envisioned it.
First stage and second stage labor require totally different strategies. In first stage, the best thing the coach can do is to help the mother relax her stomach muscles. (see Childbirth Part III) Transition, is the brief period between first and second stage labor. It is when the uterus has pulled itself out of the way and gathered itself behind the baby and the baby starts to move down the birth canal. During transition, there are virtually no breaks between contractions, each contraction seems to be followed immediately by another, until the baby engages, and second stage begins. When second stage starts, there are longer breaks between contractions and mom gets to work with the contractions to deliver the baby. Second stage begins when the baby engages and the mom gets the urge to push.
Mothers who have prepared for birth, by eating good baby building food, and who have exercised their bodies in preparation to this athletic event, have much easier births. Studies show that they have healthier and more active children. [1][2][4] There is a story in the Bible that illustrates this point.
Exodus 1:12b-18 “the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites13 and worked them ruthlessly.14 They made their lives bitter with harsh labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their harsh labor the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly.
15 The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah,16 “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth on the delivery stool, if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.” 17 The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live. 18 Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?”
19 The midwives answered Pharaoh, “Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive.”
Evidently, Pharaoh’s experience with Egyptian childbirth, led him to believe that childbirth was so dangerous, and the babies so fragile, that it would be easy to kill the babies without anyone being suspicious. As the story goes, the midwives never killed any babies, so Pharaoh called them in for a little chewing out. But the midwives told Pharaoh that the Hebrew women were vigorous, unlike the lazy Egyptian women. The reason they did not kill any babies at birth was because the athletic Hebrew women gave birth so easily that they were done before the midwives could get there. This was not exactly true, but it was close enough to the truth that pharaoh bought it. Pharaoh mentions the birthing stool, which is not easy to use, unless you are in good shape. Eating right and exercising in preparation for birth is important.
Next week we will discuss second stage labor, post-partum, birthing stools and other helpful ways to make second stage a joy instead of a disaster.

Pain has a God given purpose, drugs often undermine that purpose.
Drugs often short-circuit our body’s system for alerting and identifying problems in our diets or lifestyle. Drugs and chemicals have been sold as a cure, in pill form, when what we really need is to analyze our food or lifestyle to see what the origin for our sickness is.
People who avoid drugs tend to live longer and healthier lives.
Jack LaLanne has been called the founder of the modern fitness movement. He is one of the most famous health and fitness gurus of our time. He was the first to produce a fitness television program, the first to open a fitness club. The jumping jack is named after him. When Jack was 54, 20 year old Arnold Schwarzenegger, who had just become Mr. Universe, challenged Jack to a contest of strength. Arnold called Jack an animal after Jack beat him soundly. Jack LaLanne lived to be 96 years old. At 96 he did not have Alzheimer’s and was still doing two hour workouts each day, which included: walking, swimming, weights and calisthenics. Jack LaLanne did not believe in the use of drugs to improve your health. Instead, Jack LaLanne exercised regularly. He ate red meat three times a day and eggs too. Red meat, eggs and exercise are all recommended by God’s word, the Bible.
Jack LaLanne at 70. Handcuffed, shackled pulling 70 boats one mile.
1984 (age 70) – handcuffed, shackled, and fighting strong winds and currents, he towed 70 rowboats, one with several guests, from the Queen’s Way Bridge in the Long Beach Harbor to the Queen Mary, one mile away.[1]
Jack LaLanne at 95 with wife and TV interviewer
Jack LaLanne is quoted as saying, “many of our aches and pains come from lack of physical activity.” “We look for crutches such as sleeping pills, pep pills, alcohol, cigarettes, and so on.”
LaLanne often stressed that drugs and processed foods, like sugar, contributed to making people mentally and physically ill.
In the fifties and sixties Science was king, doctors were gods and people turned to science and drugs, believing that pills could solve all their problems. Instead, drugs have increasingly become one of our biggest problems.
Drugs Cause deaths!
Drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the US, with 55,403 lethal drug overdoses in 2015. Opioid addiction is driving this epidemic, with 20,101 overdose deaths related to prescription pain relievers, and 12,990 overdose deaths related to heroin. [4] According to government data, deaths from heroin have surpassed the number of gun homicides.[2]
Death by drugs rises each year!
The drug related death rate continues to rise at an alarming rate; in 2015 heroin alone killed almost 13,000 people in the U.S.[4]
It is no surprise that the word of God is so adamantly opposed to the use of drugs, potions, and medications. The bible calls this, Pharmakeia. This Greek word is why we call the place we purchase legal drugs, a pharmacy.
Galatians 5:19-21 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity debauchery; 20 idolatry and (Pharmakeia); hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
The key to this problem is the ability of drugs to bypass God’s safety alarm system. Think about this; God created our bodies with the ability to experience pain. Why would he do that? Because pain has a divine purpose.
Pain has a Divine purpose! Drugs postpone pain.
One of the biggest problems with the Biblical disease of leprosy, was that it left the person without normal feeling of pain in their extremities, (nose, fingers, toes); therefore, people afflicted with leprosy often lost their fingers and toes because they could not feel pain when they were damaging those parts of their bodies. Pain was created by God to protect our bodies from harm.
When you get a headache, your body is trying to tell you something. Maybe you ate something that was not good for you. Maybe you haven’t had enough sleep and your body is trying to tell you to rest. Maybe you are too stressed out and need to either slow down or change your thinking patterns. Maybe your cartilage is wearing down to the point that your bones are actually rubbing against each other, which is causing the pain we call Arthritis. By taking aspirin or other more powerful pain relievers you can reduce the pain and keep grinding away at your joints. Taking it easier on your joints or giving your body the materials necessary to rebuild cartilage would be a much better and longer-lasting solution. [6] God promised that if you would obey His commandments, He would, “take away sickness from among you.” Exodus 23:20-25
Using painkillers as our first response to pain is like someone driving down the road in a Cadillac Escalade and seeing the oil or water light come on. Instead of pulling the car over to the side of the road and adding more oil or water, they simply take a piece of masking tape and place it over the light so they aren’t bothered by the flashing red light anymore. The short-term result would be that they could continue on their journey, the long-term result would be a ruined engine. Trust me, several of my children have kept driving and I can tell you from first-hand experience, it’s more expensive than pulling over and adding water or oil.
Using drugs to mute our bodies alarm system.
Christians, every day by the millions, are traveling through life in a vehicle made by God (their body). When the red light of pain comes on, they simply put the tape of aspirin or some stronger painkiller over it and drive on. God put the pain there so that we would know that something was wrong. There have always been forms of pain relievers. Alcohol is probably the oldest and most widely used, but there have always been artificial ways to stop the pain without finding out what the purpose of that pain was and what changes need to be made. The consequences of not tuning into our bodies and not making appropriate changes are always the same; a shortened life. However, ultimately (and ironically), we eventually experience that pain regardless.
When Shary and I started having babies and subsequently teaching childbirth classes, we learned that painkillers were not always necessary and could actually be harmful to God’s natural plan for mothers, babies and birth. In a childbirth seminar at Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland, Oregon, we heard a pharmacist explain that painkillers do not kill pain at all, but only postpone it. They only provide a dam for the pain. Eventually, when the medication wears off, the pain is still experienced. Now, am I advocating that you never use pain medications? No! I am advocating that we don’t use pain medications or any drug as a substitute for making God-directed changes in our lifestyle.
At the age of Ten, I broke my arm wrestling at a youth activity night. I didn’t know what I had done initially, I only knew it hurt. The adult supervisor thought it was only a bruise so he swung my arm around a few times just to loosen it up. When I got home, my mom took one look at me, and rushed me to the hospital. The doctor tried to set it in place without medication, but soon found that that would be impossible. He didn’t want to be killed by a ten year old. I was very thankful for the medication. Thankfully the pain had already done its job…
It immobilized me, so I wouldn’t do any more damage.
It motivated me to find out what the problem was and get it fixed.
And it made me a little bit more careful with the body God gave me.
What I suggest, is that we let pain accomplish those three things, before we turn to a lifestyle of pain postponers!
1 Corinthians 6:15 “Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple.”
God is serious about how he wants us to take care of the body he has given us. He has placed mechanisms in our body to protect it from abuse. Without drugs, it is virtually impossible to force ourselves to walk on a broken leg. We can only push ourselves to do it if we use something to block the pain, but should we?
Proverbs 23:19-33 “Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes? Those who linger over wine who go to sample bowls of mixed wine. Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly! In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper. Your eyes will see strange sights and your mind imagine confusing things. You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging. “They hit me”, you will say, “but I am not hurt! They beat me, but I don’t feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?”
Three teen girls overdose on drugs at school.
Pain killers have been shown to stunt emotional growth. [7]
Alcohol and drugs are just pain postponers that allow us to keep going when pain would have normally made us stop and fix the problem. It is widely known that people who use alcohol and drugs (legal drugs included) on a regular basis, are halted in their emotional maturity at the point that they started using. For instance, if a young woman began using alcohol or drugs at the age of 14, whether it was for emotional pain or physical pain, it makes no difference. When she stopped using at the age of 29, she would still have the maturity of a 14 year-old. Pain is part of the maturing process. When we eliminate pain through drugs or alcohol, we do not take the appropriate steps or make the appropriate changes that bring about maturity. According to 1 Peter 4:1b…
“whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.”
If we always turn to pain medications to eliminate suffering, we will never grow into mature Christians. I am not advocating that we cause ourselves pain, or like some faiths, do pennants which are self-inflicted suffering, that is not what Christ came to promote. We don’t need to create suffering for ourselves, there is plenty of pain in life without adding to it. But in Hebrews chapter 12 we are told to treat all suffering as discipline. If we treat it like discipline, analyzing our pain, and respond by altering our behavior, it will create in us Godly maturity.
If you have a headache, it is better to sit, relax and try to figure out what caused it. Was it the caffeine you drank? Is it some stress in your life, have you not had sufficient sleep lately? The headache is there to get you to stop and analyze the cause. Most medicines only treat the symptoms instead of the cause. If you do not find out what caused the pain it will continue, and eventually lower your immune system’s ability to fight diseases, shortening your life. If you have knee pain, instead of getting cortisone shots you need to find out what you are doing that is causing your knees to wear out. Or you need to eat food or take supplements that will rebuild the cartilage in your knees.[5] One man in his fifties, went to the doctor, his right knee was badly swollen. After it was examined, he asked the doctor what was causing his right knee to hurt so much. The doctor told him it was just getting old. After a short pause the man said, “doctor I’m pretty sure my left knee is the same age. It is not how old you are, it is what are you are doing to your knee, or what vitamins and minerals are you missing. Jack LaLanne was still a physical specimen in his nineties because he ate the foods God said to eat, he avoided the foods God said to avoid and he got adequate exercise.
Jack LaLanne in his 90’s, happy and strong, says drugs are a crutch.
If you want to grow old, like Jack LaLanne, with health and strength, you will have to avoid drugs and depend more on your body’s ability to signal problems that need addressing. About 40 years ago I stopped taking aspirin, I started figuring out what was causing my headaches, consequently, I haven’t had a headache in years. If you want to live life without headaches, without disease, if you want to be strong at 90, then join us. Somebody is going to be headache free, might as well be you! Somebody is going to be happy and strong at 90, might as well be you!

Drugs; God’s word is not silent when it comes to the use of drugs, vaccinations and doctors!
Vaccine lines of the 60s
My wife Shary and I grew up in homes where the doctor’s word was fact, and there was a pill or surgery for every ailment. We grew up in the fifties and sixties, when science was king, and drugs were going to eradicate all disease. We grew up in a culture where there were mass immunizations. We were all lined up at schools like lemmings, to receive our sugar cube vaccinations. Later they found that some children received mild crippling from those vaccinations, Shary was one of those children. Shary had to wear leg braces after being vaccinated. [11] To this day, the effects from that vaccine, mean that shary has to buy two different sizes of shoes, to get one pair that fits. Because of the vaccine, one foot is a size bigger than the other. Another side effect of the vaccine is that Shary has one leg that is longer than the other. There are no magic pills without harmful side effects. Today, polio vaccinations are the #1 cause of polio.[10] So what does God have to say about vaccines, drugs, and medications???
Sugar cube vaccine.
Our English word Pharmacy, is derived from the Greek word “Pharmakeus.”
According to Strong’s Greek Dictionary…
Pharmakeus can be translated…druggist, pharmacist, sorcerer or poisoner. Pharmakeia can be translated…medication, magic, sorcery or witchcraft.
When the Bible uses the word Pharmakeia, it is referring to medications or drugs. When the Bible uses the word Pharmakeus,it is referring to a person who makes, distributes or uses drugs. The following passages are Bible verses that contain the Greek words Pharmakeus and Pharmakeia. We have left the Greek word, untranslated, in each passage so you can get an idea how God views the use of drugs and the giving and making of drugs.
Galatians 5:19-21 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity debauchery; 20 idolatry and (Pharmakeia); hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Revelation 9:20-21 “The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver bronze stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their (Pharmakeia) their sexual immorality or their thefts.
Revelation 18:23 “…By your(Pharmakeia)all the nations were ledastray.”
Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice(Pharmakeus,) the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
Revelations 22:15 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice (Pharmakeus), the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.”
God puts the use of drugs, (Pharmakeus) in the same category, as drunkenness, sexually immorality and vile murderers. He says that those who practice, (continually commit) these sins will have their place in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. These passages from the Bible make no distinction between legal and illegal drugs, and just as importantly, your body does not know the difference either.
In Nahum 3:3-4 “Charging cavalry, flashing swords and glittering spears! Many casualties, piles of dead, bodies without number people stumbling over the corpses—all because of the wanton lust of a harlot, alluring, the mistress of sorceries, who enslaved nations by her prostitution and peoples by her witchcraft.”
In the book of Nahum we are warned that sorceries, (making and using potions and drugs) would allure people and then kill many. In last week’s blog we learned that approximately 180,000 people are killed by doctor prescribed medications each year.[1] According to the Centers for Disease Control, 47,000 people died from drug overdoses in 2014, this was called an epidemic by the U.S. government.[2] It is interesting that Allopathic Doctors, killed 133,000 more people with legal drugs, than the drug pushers kill with illegal drugs. So how is it that allopathic drug deaths are not an epidemic? Why don’t we have anyone declaring a war on doctor prescribed drugs. Add to that, four out of five drug addicts got hooked on doctor prescribed drugs before they turned to illegal drugs.[12][13] Doctor prescribed drug deaths, dwarf the death rate from illegal drug overdosing. How did we get here, how did things get this out of hand?
First of all, we have placed too much responsibility on men, mere humans.
We have said, “You fix me, you heal me, you take away my pain, give me a magic pill so I don’t have to change my lifestyle.” We have demanded of them what they could not produce. We have tried to put our responsibility on them. God will not hold them responsible for how we treated our bodies. He will hold us responsible.
Secondly, the system has ruined the doctor’s lives.
How is that you say? We have asked doctors to sacrifice their sleep, their peace of mind, their families and even their lives, in exchange for high salaries. (Remember doctors live shorter lives than the average American.)[3] We have offered them our fortunes if they will just produce for us, the magic pill. In the impossible struggle to find something that doesn’t exist; and cannot be produced, they have lost their way. God’s health laws are as absolute as the laws of physics. Whatever we sow, that is what we will reap. People, who do not take care of their bodies the way God intended, cannot expect a miracle cure. Doctors who think that they can come up with a miracle cure, without life shortening side effects, have found it an exercise in futility.
The AMA (American, (Allopathic) medical association) has lost its bearings.
Here is how it happened. Most doctors didn’t go to medical school just to win high salaries; many went into the medical profession to help people. But the system became a trap and the trap closed on them till there is virtually no escape, except to do the unthinkable: blow the whistle and expose the rampant failures, which I’ll expand on in a bit. The few who have tried to blow the whistle have succumbed to the inevitable consequence, they were, figuratively speaking, crucified. Just like the Pharisees of Jesus day, the AMA has created a trap, and fallen into it themselves. (Proverbs 26:27) “If you set a trap for others, you will get caught in it yourself.”
The trap starts in medical school, where potential doctors are required to study and work ungodly hours.[14] The only way to survive is to use some artificial means of staying awake and getting to sleep; (caffeine, alcohol, uppers, downers, etc…) Then after spending an ungodly amount of money on their education they are trapped into continuing the workaholic madness, in order to pay back their school loans. Harvard Medical School did a study revealing that… 70% of all doctors use illegal drugs, on themselves, every week. [4] Just let that sink in for a moment. 70% of the allopathic physicians who are prescribing drugs and performing surgeries, are high on drugs.
This has provided the answer to why mistakes have risen to an all-time high. Remember the study done by Ralf Nadar, who asserted that doctors kill 150,000 to 300,000 people each year because of medical mistakes. The AMA’s own publication JAMA produced an article that tried to say the problem was not as bad as Nadar asserted, they put the number killed by mistakes at only 98,000.[5][6][7] That is almost 2,000 in each state each year.
My wife Shary has a friend who is a doctor; This doctor called Shary late one night in tears. She was frustrated and angry at what was going on in the hospital where she worked, and, she felt powerless to stop it. Someone’s child had been killed by a doctor’s mistake and it was being covered up. It would be one thing to make an honest mistake, it’s quite another if the mistake was due to a lack of sleep or the use of drugs. This is exactly what is happening. This doctor had seen other doctors fired or blackballed if they informed the families. She also said it was the same doctors who continued to make mistakes over and over again. Yet they were allowed to continue to practice medicine and endanger others.
If a truck driver kills someone because of a lack of sleep or the use of drugs, the legal term is manslaughter. That’s why truck drivers must keep logs of the number of hours they drive so authorities can monitor how much rest they get. Most truck drivers must also submit to random drug testing. We have doctors bragging about the number of hours they have been in surgery, just like we used to have truck drivers bragging about the number of hours they could drive without sleep. It is no wonder doctors are making so many fatal mistakes. If we won’t let a man or woman behind the wheel of a truck without a reasonable amount of sleep, why would we allow doctors to perform intricate life threatening surgery or prescribe powerful drugs without the proper amount of rest?
Where is the leadership in the AMA? They are killing people at an astronomical rate and they still won’t govern their own members. If we won’t let truck drivers on the road without random drug testing why do we allow medical doctors to practice medicine without random drug testing, especially after finding out that 70% of doctors are diagnosing diseases, prescribing drugs and performing surgery while high on drugs? Dr. Joel Wallach asserts, and rightly so, that if any other profession made that many mistakes that cost that many people their lives, there would be a national outcry. This situation is at its worst, evil and at best unbelievably foolish! If the airlines, automakers or the food industry made that many fatal mistakes the nation would be in an uproar.
Doctors infect millions with life threatening diseases.
The Harvard Medical School did another study in response to a radically rising infection rate in surgery across the U.S. They eventually placed cameras in hospital bathrooms and found that 72% of the doctors were not washing their hands after going to the bathroom and prior to surgery. According to USA Today, which reported in 1998, a Centers for Disease Control study indicated that doctors who didn’t wash their hands before surgery infected two million Americans each year. Readers Digest, in it’s February 2003 addition reported, “An investigation by The Chicago Tribune, based on federal and state records, internal hospital files and court records…estimated 103,000 deaths linked to hospital infections in 2000. The centers for Disease Control, extrapolating from a recent study… estimated 90,000 deaths that year. 75,000 of them were preventable, the result of unsanitary facilities, germ-laden instruments, unwashed hands and other lapses.” The article went on to say that deaths linked to hospital germs represent the fourth leading cause of mortality among Americans. Allopathic doctors kill more people each year than motor-vehicle accidents, fires and drowning combined.”[8][9]
Doctors infect two million americans each year.
Approximately 4000 years ago, God prescribed to Moses, (Exodus 30:17-21) the need for hand washing and procedures for stopping the transmission of bacteria. If doctors followed God’s advice today, they could prevent hundreds of thousands of deaths each year.
If you want optimal health, you will need to depend on God’s advice instead of getting prescription after prescription from your Allopathic Physician. People who live long, tend to avoid hospitals and prescription drugs. Disease is best fought by strengthening your God given immune system. The way to do that, is to follow God’s advice about rest, food, exercise and how to live at peace with God and men. (check out all The wellnessgospel blogs for details) All these things strengthen your immune system. That is the only way to live disease free. I’ll say this one more time, if I get in a car accident, and my body is all broken up, take me to the emergency room, give me drugs so the allopathic physician can sew me back together. But it has been my families experience, that avoiding Allopathic doctors for all other ailments is the safest plan of action. Even immunizations? Yes, we have not given our children immunizations, we have also not had any kids diagnosed with autisms. Immunizations have been linked to autism and many other ailments. That one disease alone has risen with the increase in immunizations to one in 84. God made our bodies to function properly without drugs and chemicals, if we simply follow his guidelines for living.
Our children and grandchildren are living proof, that God’s way is better. It is hard to believe, but many of our children are more radical about following Biblical guidelines for living healthy than we are, and their level of healthfulness is impressive.

Would I rule out any and all surgeries and any and all medications? No! If anyone I love is in a serious car accident or any other serious accident, the first thing I would do is get him or her to the emergency room to be put back together. American hospitals are, I believe, the best equipped and trained emergency medical facilities in the history of mankind. If I had a broken arm, the first thing I would do is go to an American hospital to have it set. If someone has a serious cut and you can’t get the bleeding to stop, get to a doctor. There is nothing in the scriptures that would oppose that kind of medical help. But under non-emergency circumstances, God has made each of us responsible for our health. He has given us advice on how to get and stay healthy. Every “magic” pill that allows us to bypass God’s advice has a dark side. God’s advice has no dark side.
Doctors Are Not Gods.
Science Is Not King. Man’s Wisdom Is Foolishness to God.
Pharmacia (Drugs) Are Not Your Savior,
You Must Take Responsibility For Your Own Health!
Our purpose for writing each week is to obey Matthew 5:19, providing you with biblical advice on the care and feeding of your body. We do it because this advice is so rare. We also do it, because we see thousands of good Christians, whose lives have been cut short, simply because they were never taught what the Word of God and the Law of God had to say about health and wellness.
If you believe God knows best, join us and the Wellness Gospel team; register for our weekly newsletter, then spread the word by sharing this with your friends on social media and may God bless you richly.
If you want to keep improving your health, and enjoy this kind of biblical scientific information, then I would like to recommend three must-read books.
