GERM Theory
MICROZYME Theory
Germs cause disease
Germs result from disease
- produce toxins in healthy tissues
Germs should be destroyed
- will cause further disease
Germs are destructible
- LD50 phenomenon
Uses antibiotics, vaccinations,
chemotherapy, radiation,
drugs
- found in decomposing tissues/liquids
Germs serve useful purpose
- breakdown waste for elimination
Germs adapt to environment
- good or bad
Uses probiotics, herbs, diet cures,
lifestyle/environment changes,
drugless
Germs & Disease
Germs are lowest form of life incapable of attacking or killing
anything
Germs are scavengers & decomposers totally dependent on
waste to survive
Decomposition of body wastes irritate the system and signals
the need to eliminate
Disease symptoms are not the disease, but rather the symptoms
of it
Consumption and injection of toxic substances suppress the
immune system
Nourishment & toxic elimination prevents & reverses
symptoms
Scientific Studies?
Three Scientists &
The Centipede Study
***
Scientific Studies?
♦  Studies generally done on animals, not humans
♦  Studies show that many drugs perform
marginally better than placebo
♦  Many studies demonstrate subjective bias
♦  There are no control studies that show
effectiveness of vaccinations, bypass surgery,
blood pressure management, etc., etc., etc.
♦  There are few incentives for “natural health”
studies

CANCER
Gaining The Victory!
Stages of Cancer
Stages of Cancer
1.  Is small and contained within the organ it
started in.
2.  Is localized, but the tumor is getting larger.
3.  Is found in the lymph nodes in the affected
area.
4.  Has spread from where it started to another
body organ.
Cancer Research UK
Metastasis
Metastasis is the stage in which cancer cells are
transported through the bloodstream or
lymphatic system.
Why do Cancer Cells Develop?
•  Cancer cells develop because of damaged
DNA which is not repaired. People can inherit
damaged DNA, which accounts for inherited
cancers.
•  Most often though, a person's DNA becomes
damaged by exposure to something in the
environment.
American Cancer Society
“No man can enter into a strong man’s house ,
and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the
strong man; and then he will spoil his
house” (Mark 3: 27).
In order for cancer to thrive , the powerful
immune system must first be weakened.

Hierarchy of Healing
•  Avoid all harmful dietary/lifestyle practices
•  Use natural, harmless and simple remedies
freely … air, water, nutrition, exercise, etc.
•  Use “less harmful” remedies, i.e, selected
herbs, judiciously
•  Only rarely, when all else has failed, turn to
strong drugs … Last resort, not first resort
•  Prayer … Thanks for God’s many blessings,
seeking His wisdom and guidance …
Do No Harm
Naturopathic vs. Allopathic
Which is Better ?

men or their institutions rather than the

Best Medicine
" Doing good is an excellent remedy for
disease. -- The consciousness of right-doing
is the best medicine for diseased bodies and
minds. He who is at peace with God has
secured the most important requisite to
health. The blessing of the Lord is life to the
receiver.–
Best Medicine is Right Doing

you any of the diseases I brought upon the

QUESTION
What is the Very Best Medicine for
the Last Days???
Very Best Medicine
The religion of the Bible is not detrimental
to the health of the body or of the mind. The
influence of the Spirit of God is the very best
medicine that can be received by a sick man
or woman. Heaven is all health; and the
more deeply the heavenly influences are
realized, the more sure will be the recovery
of the believing invalid.—
3T 172. {MM 12.3}
Very Best Medicine
In order to be purified and to remain pure,
Seventh-day Adventists must have the Holy
Spirit in their hearts and in their homes. The
Lord has given me light that when the Israel of
today humble themselves before Him, and cleanse
the soul temple from all defilement, He will hear
their prayers in behalf of the sick and will bless in
the use of His remedies for disease. When in faith
the human agent does all he can to combat disease,
using the simple methods of treatment that God as
provided, his efforts will be blessed of God.
{CH 138.1}
The Basis of Health
“If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God
and wilt do that which is right in His sight and wilt give ear to
His command-ments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of
these diseases upon thee which I have brought upon the
Egyptians. For I am the Lord that healeth thee” (Exodus
15:26).

keep thy commandments.”

COUNTERACTING
the
CATARACTS
WHAT ARE CATARACTS?
The lens of the
eye thickens,
becoming
clouded or
opaque; it
becomes
unable to
focus or admit
light properly.
WHAT CAUSES CATARACTS?
“The curse causeless shall
not come” (Proverb 26:2).
According to Science
magazine, the single
greatest cause of cataracts
is the body’s inability to
cope with food sugars.
Lactose (milk sugar) was
the worst offender,
followed by refined white
sugar. Many eye
specialists note that most
people with cataracts eat
diets that include
substantial amounts of
dairy products and refined
white sugars.
Cataracts can
also develop if
the diet is
inadequate and if
prolonged stress
is endured.
Smoking is a risk factor for
cataracts, probably because the
free radicals it generates increase
the oxidant stress on the body. A
study, reported by the Journal of
the American Medical Association,
found a significant correlation
between cigarette smoking and
the incidence of cataracts.
The most common form of
cataract is senile cataract,
which affects people over
sixty-five. This type of
cataract is often caused by
free-radical damage.
Exposure to ultraviolet rays
and low-level radiation from
x-rays leads to the formation.
Long hours in front of the
television and computers can
contribute to the formation
of cataracts.
THE WAY TO COUNTERACT CATARACTS
IS THE EIGHT DOCTORS—GOD’S PLAN
Divine Rx for Cataracts
1.  Whole food, antioxidant rich diet of fresh fruit, vegetables,
including carrots, spinach and their juices
2.  Lots of Water to flush the system … avoid fluoridated and
chlorinated water
3. Avoid drugs that may contribute to cataracts, especially,
steroids
4. Avoid dietary & lifestyle causal factors … refined sugar,
saturated fats and fried foods, hydrogenated oils, allergens,
hair dyes, etc.
5. Systemic cleansing especially liver/gallbladder flush, heavy
metal detox
Divine Rx for Cataracts
6. Eye exercises … Bates method … blinking, sunning,
palming, convergence, rotating eyes, distance looking,
massage around orbits
7.  Eye ointments/salves: 1 drop lemon juice in morning and 1
drop raw honey at night, eyebright, cucumber slices
8.  Helpful herbs and supplements: bilberry, lutein, noni,
vitamin c … 3 cups of bilberry tea a day
9. For pain or inflammation
•  Clay packs over the eyes, 2 times a day
•  Charcoal and slippery elm poultice (cold)
10. Other Remedies … Hydrotherapy, Massage, avoid TV, …

The average adult has around
30 trillion cells in his or her
body, and every day thousands
of new cells are replicated from
old ones. New cells are made
to replace the old cells that
become worn-out or damaged.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Do you not know that in a race all the
runners run, but only one receives the
prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every
athlete exercises self-control in all things.
They do it to receive a perishable wreath,
but we an imperishable. So I do not run
aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the
air. But I discipline my body and keep it
under control, lest after preaching to others
I myself should be disqualified.
