Health, Wealth And Happiness

I chose early retirement from the practice of medicine when I saw that “Babylon” (a word meaning confusion) fit westernized medicine as it has become www.LeadingCauseOfDeathPrescriptionDrugs.com The Bible warning reflects this—“for by her sorceries [Greek word, pharmakeia] were all nations deceived.” Rev 18:23.

We all know that cuts, burns and bruises heal, but what about major diseases? Salvatore Frascinella was a 65-year old executive with three cardiologists who felt he was too risky for bypass surgery. They had him taking 12 pills a day and he was getting worse. He couldn’t walk two blocks without severe, incapacitating chest pain. Desperate, he attended a Total Health Seminar and in eight weeks, he was climbing hills, and off all his drugs.

That was 24 years ago. He called recently. He’s 89 now, still on no medicine. He said, “You saved my life.”
His happy outcome was possible because the body is designed for self-healing if we know how to cooperate with nature’s healing forces. Basic to healing is the preference for substances that science supports as high in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and plant substances like lutein and lycopene that help prevent disease while avoiding chemicals that help symptoms, but become part of the problems as we build toxicity to them in time.

One of my teachers said the Bible is a book of health as much as it is about religion, and the first comprehensive health code was written by Moses. For example, for 50 years we’ve known (Framingham Study) that cholesterol causes heart disease. But why should science be so slow to tell us what was written 3400 years ago—“It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.” Leviticus 3:17.

We now know the saturated fat of animals contributes to heart disease. With the greed of an industry to market cattle that can’t stand or walk, maybe we will discover the blood or meat of an animal with cancer could be a problem, though slaughter house policy currently allows it.

Another example: “Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.” John 5:2-4.

Think about it. A pool at Bethesda where “a great multitude of impotent folk” waited helplessly for a cure and when they believed the water was troubled, there was a stampede, and only the strongest, fastest was healed, with disappointment to the rest. Can we see any parallel today? Bethesda MD, where our tax dollars are pooled to fund drug research. Suddenly there is a claim for cure and a stampede. But in the end there is disappointment with drugs, and the greedy pharmaceutical companies that deceive us.

This article is title suggests wealth and happiness may also be found in the Bible. For the person who meditates on the law of the Lord, “he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.” Psalm 1:3

The law is not just about health and material prosperity. How amazed a heathen spy might have been if he could have crept into the Most Holy Place of the Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem to discover the secret of Israel’s greatness. There he would discover, not an idol studded with gems, but a law—that delineated right and wrong for virtually every situation in life. The 10 Commandments had accompanying guidelines of statutes, judgments and case histories that everyone might know right from wrong. Today we have thousands of law books covering the sham of a corrupt system (O.J. Simpson).

Health comes from harmony with natural law. Happiness comes from harmony with moral laws, just as wealth comes from wise business principles. For a better understanding of these principles of life, you will want to read Health & Happiness, a book offered for $6.95 (satisfaction guaranteed) and it’s worth its weight in gold. It is a profound, yet easy to read book on biblical principles of life. Please visit www.BestHealthBook.com
