2017 Senior Games Track Meet. That’s me with my painting shoes.

Well I did it, I entered the Oregon Senior Games!

I decided to see if following God’s principles for health really makes a difference in strength and longevity. When I go to the store I see all these people my age hobbling to and from their cars. They look like every step hurts. Maybe it’s their feet, or knees maybe it is their hips and back. I feeI sorry for them, I really think that if they knew what I know they could feel young again. I feel great, like I did In high school. But the question; is that really unusual?

Maybe there are a lot of people my age that feel this good.

Senior games, bible, Health, cancer, immune system

 

So I decided to see if following God’s advice has made me unusually healthy. I decided to compete in the 2017 Oregon  Senior games, to see how I compared with some of the fittest seniors in Oregon. The track meet was held in Bend Oregon, which was enough to get my wife on board, she loves the weather there.  I competed in three events, the fifty meter dash, the 100 meter dash and the shot put. The only thing I actually practiced at was the shot put. I practiced four times! I hadn’t sprinted for anything in over a year; hey when you are 65 there just aren’t that many reasons to sprint.

When I got to the Senior Games!

When I got to the Senior Games, I found out that most of the people who were competing actually worked out, training for their events and they had personal trainers to boot. They also had track shoes and used starting blocks. I hoped they didn’t notice my 10 year old tennis shoes I had used while painting my house. The other guys had track shorts and shirts. Are they really that much lighter than regular shorts? I thought I look my best in a cotton “Jesus is” T-shirt I got for free at church.

Right before a race, noticed I was one of the only sprinters without sun glasses. I don’t even own a pair of sun glasses, and how does that make you faster?  The guys in the shot put were dressed more like me but the two guys who beat me (by a foot) were over three hundred pounds and had arms  as big as my legs. Obviously, I have a lot to learn about senior track and field sports.

Most of the contestants used to be really exceptional athletes.

Most of the contestants at the senior games, were old people who used to be great athletes. One guy I talked to had been a professional soccer player. Most of the contestants looked like they were falling apart. A 64 year old, who the other guys said was super-fast, his name was Steve, told me he had four braces on to hold himself together. He had an ankle brace, a back brace and two knee braces. Steve said the reason he didn’t have five braces was because the rules only allow four.

Steve asked me if I was fast and hoped I wasn’t in his bracket, because he thought I looked fast. I told him I never was fast; in college the lineman on the football team could beat me in the fifty-yard dash. I told him my only hope of winning was that all the fast guys my age had fallen apart by now.

My only hope, was that all the fast guys had fallen apart by now!

Senior games, Bible, health, wellness, science, Otto Warburg, cancer, Senior track meet,

 

Of all the participants I saw at the Senior Games, there were two other men that were physical standouts. That is, they looked healthy. One guy Stephan was 69 and didn’t look a day over 50. He wasn’t taped together, he shared with me that he was a Christian who believed in following God’s principals. Stephan took vitamins and minerals and exercised regularly.  He told me he was born with a disease that should have taken his life at an early age, but his parents got him to exercise and eat good food. He said that was his only explanation for why he looked so young.

So back to my performance!

I entered three events and got two silvers medals in the sprints and a bronze in the shot put. The best part was that I had a great time interviewing the other contestants. It was probably the best education I have received in a long time.

77 year old Russ Colgan beats everyone by a mile at the Senior Games. (figuratively)

The other guy who looked healthy and had no braces was a retired Chiropractor named Russ Colgan. Russ beat everyone in every race he entered. The most impressive race he ran was the 200 meters. He didn’t just beat the other contestants in his age group, 75-80, he crushed them.

Russ not only beat the guys his age but he beat the 50 year old studs by a good 5 meters. That event is a killer, you have to sprint the entire way and your body never gets it’s second wind. Consequently, you are running on only the oxygen stored in your muscles. Russ killed all the other competitors.

What is Senior Games phenom, Russ’s secret?

I sat down with Russ after the meet was over and got to have a good interview. He made reference to the Bible and his eating habits, but he also said that he believed his unusual success came from putting into practice the theories of Otto Warburg.

So who was Otto Warburg?

Otto Warburg was born in 1883 to a Jewish father and a protestant mother. His father eventually accepted Jesus and became a  Christian. Otto’s family and Albert Einstein’s family were close friends. Otto and Albert became life long friends. He joined the military and was awarded the iron cross but his friend Albert successfully persuaded  him to leave the military and get back to his profession as a doctor.

Einstein felt that Otto’s real gift to mankind was to do medical research. He turned out to be right, Otto was nominated for the Nobel prize in medicine, 47 times, and finally received the award for his work with cancer treatments.

Bible, health, wellness, science, Otto Warburg, cancer, Senior track meet,

Otto boiled his theory down to one statement,

“the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar. “[7]

According to the Phenom senior athlete, Russ Colgan, changing your body Ph and getting more oxygen into your cells isn’t just for cancer. According to Russ it is the most important factor in aging, immune systems and healthfulness. He said that there are medical clinics that can test you for these factors and it only costs about 20 dollars. He also highly recommend getting an Ionizer machine, which changes the ph of water to more alkaline state.

So what foods lower your oxygen levels and get your pH level below 7?

These are acidic foods to avoid!

  • processed foods.
  • sodas and other sweetened beverages.
  • Alcohol
  • Coffee & Black Tea
  • Fruit Juice (sweetened)
  • Cocoa
  • Mustard
  • Vinegar
  • Yeast
  • Pork
  • Shellfish
  • Artificial Sweeteners

Foods that you should eat that will raise your pH above 7!

Foods that will improve your immune system and destroy cancer cells.

  • pH 9.5 Water (water produced  by an ionizer)
  • Green Drinks
  • Himalayan Salt
  • Regular Salt
  • Avocado
  • Broccoli
  • Cabbage
  • Celery
  • Cucumber
  • Garlic
  • Grasses (alfalfa, kamut, straw, shave, wheatgrass, etc.)
  • Kale
  • Parsley
  • Sprouts (alfalfa, bean, pea, soy, etc.)
  • Spinach
  • Tomato

Note!

Our philosophy is that God knows best what we should eat and not eat. Our bodies are so complicated that interactions of different foods can make changes that we are unaware of. So, we will try things that seem to be working for people but if what they are advocating is at odds with the scriptures we will default back to what God said. Consequently we have not put the foods God has recommended in the foods to avoid category, even if they are considered to be acidic. Red meat is one of those foods. It is interesting to note that many of the foods in the acidic category are foods God has forbidden us to eat.

I Hope this weeks blog has been helpful, it just may be the secret to help you get to your most healthy you! God bless and have a great week.

God wants you to laugh, here’s how!!!

laughter, Bible, science cure

Laughter is good for you!

Are you getting enough laughter? This weeks Wellness Gospel is about the power of laughter.  I am going to share with you something that is almost guaranteed to make you laugh. That laughter could actually cure what ails you!

Laughter, bible, science, cure

A cheerful heart is good medicine”

   Proverbs 17:22

It is not just what you eat that will ensure you are healthy. It is not just how much exercise you get or even how spiritual you are that will keep you disease free. In order to live disease free like the Bible promises, you and I need to listen to everything the God says about health, and one of the big things about your health and mine, is a cheerful heart.

The King James Version of the Bible translates Proverbs 17:22 “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine The word translated “medicine” is “gehah” According to Strong’s Hebrew dictionary “gehah” literally means “a cure.” So a more literal translation  of Proverbs 17:22 would be, “A merry heart is a cure.”

           Laughter is my secret to  122 years of great living.

 

Jeanne Calment of Paris France was inducted into the Guinness Book of Would records on October 16, 1995 as the oldest documented human ever. There are many who have claimed to live longer but none have the paperwork to prove it. At the time, she was 120 years young. Jeanne remembers watching the Eiffel Tower being constructed; she outlived twenty-seven French presidents, and remembers selling pencils to the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh. At the age of 100, Jeanne was still riding her bike. Jeanne lived to be 122 years 164 days. When asked, “What’s the secret to your long life?” she answered “Laughter!”

Laughed till I cried!

For the last couple of weeks I have been reading a chapter each night from the book, “Real Ponies Don’t Go Oink” by Patrick McManus. The result has been lavish doses of hilarious laughter. My wife Shary said she could hear me laughing in our bedroom while she was in the kitchen. Now I must explain that our house is big. It is over 9000 square feet on four levels. I think the kitchen and the bedroom have different zip codes. She said I was shaking the house. I admit that I have been laughing so hard I was crying. If laughter is a cure, this book could cure almost anything. Check it out at amazon, and happy reading.

Scientific Proof, God Wrote The Bible!

Disease, bacteria, Black Death, Church, Pastors,

Proof, God wrote the Bible!                                       

Disease, bacteria, Black Death, Church, Pastors,
God has not left or abandoned us. He has told us everything we need to know and written it in his book the Bible

Thousands of years before Louis Pasture discovered bacteria, God had already given Moses instructions that would protect people from diseases that are caused by  bacteria and viruses. It is an amazing testimony to the fact that the Bible is the inspired word of God. There is no other conclusion that can be made.  The bible is God’s love letter to us, His instruction manual to keep us from harm and it is being confirmed every day through scientific discovery.

The Black Death

Proof, God, Bible, Black plague, church, pastors
Young and old, men and women,  rich and poor; the plague was no respecter of persons.

The Black Death was one of the worst tragedies in human history. It could be said that it was one of the darkest reasons for the dark ages. It claimed the lives of over 60 million people. The disease was not prejudiced; it took the lives of the young as well as the aged. It killed rich and poor alike, men and women. Before it was eradicated, it prematurely wiped out approximately one third of the populations of China and Europe. It was not brought to an end by science or medicine; it was brought to an end by church leaders and the Bible.

Proof, God, Bible, Black plague, church, pastors
2000 years earlier, God gave man a plan to stop the spread of disease. If only men had listened, this could have been avoided.

Medical science had tried everything it knew and everything had failed!

It was at this point the Church and Bible believing pastors stepped in and suggested that the commands found in Leviticus chapter 13, 14 & 15 concerning contagious diseases should become the law of the land. People were desperate and decided to follow the Biblical instructions concerning contagious disease.

In the Law of Moses, God instructed his people not to touch dead bodies and to quarantine diseased people.  It stated that even clothing could transmit disease. It was originally thought that rats were the cause of the plague, but new research disproves that theory and places the blame at human to human contact.

God also instructed his people to wash infected clothing with water, if that didn’t work, burning the thing with fire was the final solution. We understand all these things today because we can see bacteria through microscopes. In Moses’ time and during the dark ages they could not see bacteria, but God could, and instructed them appropriately.

Jewish persecution broke out in Europe  during the plague because the Jewish people were not effected like the Christians. This gave some speculation that the Jews were to blame, consequently whole Jewish communities were murdered by local mobs. Had the Christians of the day listened to Jesus words before the plague, “who ever teaches and practices the law will be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:19) they not only would have been spared but would not have mistakenly blamed the Jews for their misfortune.

God’s instructions more than 2000 years before the discovery of bacteria!

As long as he has the infection he remains unclean. He must live alone; he must live outside the camp.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Leviticus 13:46

 “he shall order that the contaminated article (of clothing) be washed. Then he is to isolate it for another seven days. After the affected article has been washed, the priest is to examine it, and if the mildew has not changed its appearance, even though it has not spread, it is unclean. Burn it with fire”,                                                                                                                                                  Leviticus 13:54 

 “The person to be cleansed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair and bathe with waterthen he will be ceremonially clean. After this he may come into the camp, but he must stay outside his tent for seven days. On the seventh day he must shave off all his hair; he must shave his head, his beard, his eyebrows and the rest of this hair. He must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and he will be clean.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Leviticus 14:8

Bible instructions concerning contagious disease, “Superstition”?

Proof, God, Bible, Black plague, church, pastors

Believe it or not, during the dark ages, these instructions found in the Bible were thought to be superstitious and out-dated. Without knowing anything about germs but simply following God’s instructions, the Black Death was not only stopped, but it was completely eradicated, it no longer exists.

In the Book, “None Of These Diseases”,  S.I. McMillen tells of Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis who practiced and taught medicine at the Vienna General Hospital in 1847. The hospital was celebrated at the time, as being one of the world’s best, hosting a school of medicine. But in that great hospital and at that time, eighteen percent of the women, who delivered babies at the celebrated hospital and were attended to by doctors, died of “Labor Fever.”

Dr. Semmelweis observed that only 3% of the women who were attended to by the midwives died. He postulated that the only difference was that the doctors did autopsies and the midwives did not. Semmelweis had also observed a close friend who had cut his finger while doing an autopsy on a woman who had died of labor fever. His friend came down with the same symptoms and died.

Proof, God, Bible, Black plague, church, pastors
Doctors would routinely go from doing an autopsy to delivering a baby without washing their hands.

Something was being transferred from one person to another.

Semmelweis postulated that something from the dead woman was transmitted to his friend and had caused his demise. Semmelweis then did the unthinkable. He changed the traditions of the day. He ordered everyone doing autopsies to wash with chlorinated water before seeing any other patients. The hospital was in an outrage, but Semmelweis would not be dissuaded. Consequently, the death toll dropped immediately to an all time low of 1%.

You would think that that would be the perfect end of to a wonderful story. Instead, Semmelweis got fired! The other doctors didn’t want to wash their hands all the time, so the hospital went back to its previous traditions and the death rate went back up to 18%.

Following  procedures found in the Bible, got him fired over and over!

Semmelweis was hired by a hospital in Budapest and again he instituted his revolutionary procedures and, you guessed it, the death toll dropped to almost nothing. But as before, his colleges ridiculed him in person and through books. Semmelweis became so angry that he publicly denounced one famous physician of the day with these words “Your teaching… is based upon the dead bodies of new mothers slaughtered through ignorance. I denounce you before God and the world as a murderer, and the History of Labor Fever will… perpetuate your name as a medical Nero.” Again Semmelweis was fired and the old traditions returned.

He died a broken man!

Semmelweis’ discovery was never embraced during his lifetime and he died a broken man. Had the people of that day simply listened to God’s advice and loved God’s wisdom and knowledge, countless young mothers and wives would have been spared pain and death.  If the husbands, fathers and mothers of those young women read God’s word and put it into practice, they would not have been at the mercy of the foolish experts of their day.

God speaks to this situation in Proverbs!

How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge? If you had responded to my rebuke, I would have poured out my heart to you and made my thoughts known to you. But since you rejected me when I called and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand, since you ignored all my advice and would not accept my rebuke. I in turn will laugh at your disaster: I will mock when calamity overtakes you—when calamity overtakes you like a storm when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind. When distress and trouble overwhelm you. Then they will call to me but I will not answer: they will look for me but will not find me.

Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord, since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke. They will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them: but whoever listens to me will live in safety and ease, without fear of harm.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Proverbs 1:22-33

The unfortunate thing is that Christians and their doctors are still not listening. Listening to God’s word and putting it into practice will lead to safety and easy fearless living. It will also lead to faith. Jesus said that if you do what he said you would believe, because God’s word works. 

Truly; the only way to exceptional emotional and physical health and wellness, is to spend time each day with the Great Physician, Jesus Christ!

Why did thousands of honest people lose their faith in Jesus last year?

Why, Bible, attitude, food, health and wellness, longevity, nutrition, conditions and promises, losing faith

Why thousands of honest people, lost their faith in Jesus Christ last year!

They were told to claim a promise found in God’s word the Bible and then the promise never came. They were told to claim prosperity but prosperity never came, they were told to claim healing but never got healed. Why?

Why, Bible, attitude, food, health and wellness, longevity, nutrition, conditions and promises, losing faith
Losing your faith in God!

A couple in our church were constantly claiming health, wealth and longevity. They would often recite from Deuteronomy Chapter 28. Here are the selected promises they would quote to all who would listen.

You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.The fruit of your womb will be blessed.You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. 13 The Lord will make you the head, not the tail.

So how was their faith rewarded? The husband got very sick shortly after leaving our church. He had a massive heart attack and died. The wife had a nervous breakdown and their children are presently heroin addicts. Why?

Why, Bible, attitude, food, health and wellness, longevity, nutrition, conditions and promises, losing faith
God’s promises never materialized!

So why didn’t God keep his promise to this man, his wife and their family?

God actually did keep his promise! If you read all of Deuteronomy chapter 28 you will find that there were conditions that needed to be met in order to receive the promises. Here are a few…

28 If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your GodIf you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left 

The biggest reason people lose faith in God’s commands!

The main reason people lose faith in God’s promises is because they have not been taught that God has given instructions for what they have to do to get the promises.  It is no surprise when people get their dream car or dream house repossessed. They don’t usually stop believing in cars or houses. They were told that as long as they make the payments and abide by the agreement,  they will get to enjoy the car or home. If they fail to meet the stated conditions they will fail to enjoy the stated benefit’s. It is the same with God’s promises.

Why, Bible, attitude, food, health and wellness, longevity, nutrition, conditions and promises, losing faith
Too many good people dying too young!

Godly Christians dying young!  Why?

My married daughter Melody called me one day to lament that yet another relatively young member of her new church family had passed away. She was frustrated because this man, like the others, was physically active, and tried to avoid all the “Bad Food” doctors had warned him about. He looked and acted healthy until suddenly he keeled over dead. She said this man had completely rejected the idea that the Bible had any helpful advice for his health.

My daughter Brook lamented to me one day how a Christian woman she had lived with, laughed at her when she tried to explain why we were to listen to God’s specific advice about food choices. Shortly after her conversation with this woman the lady ended up in the hospital, very very sick.

A friend of mine kept telling me that God doesn’t care what we eat and he certainly doesn’t want us to follow any biblical advice about food.  in just a short time he and his wife’s health deteriorated rapidly. The last time I saw them she was permanently confined to a wheel chair, most of their problems were related to diabetes and arthritis.

I have many Christian friends that laugh at the idea that they should avoid foods God said not to eat, or follow any Old Testament advice, yet they often express to me how lucky I am that my family and I are so healthy. Its not luck! We used to be sick just like them until we started to follow Gods advice. We have simply tried to meet God’s conditions for better health. Those conditions cover subjects such as, attitude, forgiveness, worship, sin and food choices.  All of those conditions and promises can be found in one place, that is what the book “God’s Guide to Biblical Health and Healing” is all about!

Why are Irene Crump and Phyllis Jones so full of life?

These radiant 100 year old twins have worked hard, which the bible recommends, they have been careful to eat wisely like the Bible suggests, and they have prospered for it.  Irene says, [1]

“hard work and good food is our secret, that’s all I can put it down to

Bible, attitude, food, health and wellness, longevity, nutrition, conditions and promises, losing faith
100 year old twins, beautiful and still going strong.

It frustrates and saddens me!

It frustrates and saddens me when I encounter disappointed and discouraged Christians. People, who at some time in their life, put all their hope and faith in a promise of God, only to see their hope shattered, especially in the area of physical health. Why, you ask, “How can that be? Can God make a promise and not fulfill it?” I believe the Bible when it says…

“All of God’s promises are yes and Amen.”                                                                                                                                                                      2 Corinthians 1:20

To put that into common English, “God says yes to anyone who believes His promises, and all of His promises will be fulfilled as God said they would.”

So why are there so many disillusioned Christians out there?

Because many times they have not connected the conditions of God with the promises of God. Many have been told to pray for and receive health and healing for themselves and their loved ones, but were never told what the Biblical conditions were for receiving that help. They have been told to claim a specific promise found in the Bible, without being told what God says you have to do to get it. For instance…

The Bible states…

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.”

Romans 10:9

The promise:……………you shall be saved.

The condition:………confess Jesus as Lord and believe God raised him from the dead.

It doesn’t say that if we obey God’s commands and decrees, that we will be saved. We need to be careful to connect the proper promise with its corresponding condition. This is the difference between the good news of Christianity and all other religious systems. They all say you will be saved or received into heaven by how well you obeyed the rules. Nowhere in the Bible, not even in the Old Testament does it say that you will be saved from eternal separation from God or that you will go to heaven when you die, based on your ability to keep the rules.

But…

But…the Bible does state that “…if you listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees (laws). I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians for I am the Lord who heals you.” Exodus 15:26

The promise:………..I will not bring on you any of the diseases I

                                                brought on the Egyptians, I’m the Lord who heals  you

The condition:……………Listen carefully, pay attention to, and keep all

                                                God’s commands and decrees.

At this point someone usually says “Hey wait a minute, I’ve been taught that we don’t have to obey the Old Testament commands any more” and I agree; as it concerns your entrance into heaven.  But there are other consequences that are connected to God’s advice and commands.

Everyone knows!

Everyone knows that the Ten Commandments, found in the Old Testament, state that it is wrong to lie, steal, murder or commit adultery, and that there are consequences that come when we break these laws of God. For instance, if you commit adultery you could lose your marriage and it is possible that you could get a sexually transmitted disease. No one would argue, “Now I am a Christian, I’m not under the law, if I commit adultery, I won’t suffer any social or physical consequences”. Everyone knows that that is ridiculous.

Most preachers teach from time to time about the consequences of breaking these laws. But very little has ever been preached or taught about God’s laws concerning health and food choices, why not? They too have consequences, which have been mostly overlooked.

Why, Bible, attitude, food, health and wellness, longevity, nutrition, conditions and promises, losing faith

Even though we know logically that you can’t break God’s laws without consequences, some Bible student always says…”didn’t Jesus do away with the law and the old testament?” I’ll let Jesus answer that question…

Jesus said…

Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; (The Old Testament) I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. (He is the only one who ever did fulfill them) I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”                            Matthew 5:17-19

I am pretty sure heaven and earth have not passed away yet, so until then we are to practice and teach God’s commands.

Over the last thirty years

Over the last thirty years, I have prayed for people in my family and our congregation. I have studied the scriptures countless hours in order to bring teachings from God’s word that would help my family and congregation avoid physical and emotional trauma. I, like any other shepherd, want the people I love and care for to be spiritually, emotionally and physically healthy and happy. One thing I have discovered is that there is no one miracle pill that will accomplish that. What I mean is that there is not any one thing that will solve all of your problems.

Sometimes people think that if they just change their diet or exercise enough that that will ensure optimal health. Why doesn’t that work? The simple truth is this; the answer to all your problems lies in ALL that God has said about our attitudes, our sin, our rest, our exercise, our food choices and drugs. The more closely we follow God’s instructions every day, the more fully we will enjoy his promises.

If you have been taught that the old testament is of no value to us or that the societal and dietary laws in the Old and New testaments hold no benefit to you as a Christian, then I suggest you read “Non of These Diseases” by Dr. S.I. McMillen. As a medical doctor with years of experience he has documented how obeying God’s word is not only spiritually beneficial but physically beneficial as well.

Concept
