Of Epidemics and Healing Revival...
/
I’ve been reading about epidemics. I know, I know... not really the stuff of Advent. Sitting in front of a glowing tree, a roaring fire... and a book with photos of smallpox victims from the late 1800’s.
Not super twinkly of me. But I’m a health nerd, what can I say? And what I’ve been finding is amazing...
Regardless of what period of history I study, certain truths about health remain unchanging. Above all... the most effective way to reduce disease and illness is a combination of the following:
Improved nutrition
Good hygiene
Sanitary living and working conditions
Clean water
Eliminating toxic exposure
Fresh air
Elimination of “Hospitalism”
Epidemics in the US declined to almost nothing when these needs were met. Va( (ines arrived on the scene only after disease was deeply in decline. And heavy-handed medical intervention generally contributed to a decrease, not an increase, in health.
In my book, The Sunshine Principle, I don’t talk about epidemics, but I do talk about the conditions necessary for health and how God designed you to thrive.
I don’t talk about the deleterious effects of drinking water tainted with sewage because that’s not our beast anymore.
In our great wealth, we have eliminated certain hazards. And yet in our gluttony and sensuality, we have turned back the clock and have restored some risk factors, particularly:
Poor nutrition
Toxicity (food, products, environment)…
And have added the significant risk factor of excessive medical intervention.
God’s design does not need fixing. Our immune systems are complex and still largely beyond the comprehension of science. It is a grave violation of dignity to continue to tinker ourselves into decline.
Isn’t it time to rediscover God’s plan for health?
Isn’t it time to turn around the deadly epidemics of autoimmune disease, heart disease, cancer, neurological disease, and diabetes which are killing us in far greater numbers than our current “pandemic”?
My answer is yes or I wouldn’t have written the book. Medical freedom. Health independence. A restoration to design.
Time for revival. ☀️
