Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.(3 John 2)
Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health. In
case of sickness, the cause should be ascertained. Unhealthful conditions should be changed, wrong habits corrected.
Then nature is to be assisted in her effort to expel impurities and to re-establish right conditions in the system.
{MH 127.1)
Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of WATER, trust in divine power--these are the
true remedies. Every person should have a knowledge of nature's remedial agencies and how to apply them. It is
essential both to understand the principles involved in the treatment of the sick and to have a practical training that will
enable one rightly to use this knowledge.{MH 127.2}
"The HEALTH REFORM is an important part of the third angel's message; and AS A PEOPLE PROFESSING HEALTH
REFORM, WE SHOULD NOT RETROGRADE, but MAKE CONTINUAL ADVANCEMENT..."{ML 128.2}
We should educate ourselves, not only to live in harmony with the laws of health, but to teach others the better
way(CG 361.2)
become more intelligent in regard to the laws of life. . . . {11MR 187.3}
WHY?
Educate people in the laws of life so that they may know how to preserve health {MM 259.3)
It is the duty of every person, for his own sake, and for the sake of humanity, to inform himself in regard to the laws
of life and conscientiously to obey them(MH 128.1)
True religion and the laws of health go hand in hand(7T 137.1)
You are to apply the laws of life and health to your own case. In violating the laws of health, even in doing the service
of God, you misrepresent your maker {KC 20.4}
Physicians need it (
Sick person needs (MH 264)
Students need on regular basis (Ed 208)
Teachers need (3T 489)
Women need (MH 293)
Without proper oxygen, cells in the brain can start to die within a matter of 3 minutes.
Negative Ions are a must for proper health. The air in our homes, if not aired out daily, are the positive ions
which lead to many unhealthful conditions
Exercise, and a free and abundant use of the air and sunlight would give life and strength to the emaciated invalid.
{2T 530.2}
Fresh air will prove far more beneficial to sick persons than medicine, and is far more essential to them than their
food. They will do better, and WILL RECOVER SOONER, when deprived of food, than when deprived of fresh air.{CH 55.1}
In all our medical institutions, patients should be systematically and carefully instructed how to prevent disease
{CH 470.1}
how to prevent disease by a wise use of heaven's remedies,--pure water, air, and diet.--T., V. I, p. 490. {HL 269.3}
Too little attention is generally given to the preservation of health. It is far better to prevent disease than to know how
to treat it when contracted(MH 128.1)
Filthy premises cause to be impure (CH 63) (Dog or cat Feces near the house/ Dead leaves/Sewage system)
Many breaths make poisoned air (2SM 436)
Overheated rooms cause (1T 590; 701)
Do not have heater higher than 65 degrees
You should so accustom yourself to the air that you will not be under the necessity of having the mercury
higher than sixty-five degrees.{1T 702.3}
Smoke and Dust in air endangers health (MH 262)
Stove heat destroys vitality of fresh air in home (2SM 305)
Tobacco user causes poisoned air (MH 328)(even the breath of smokers poisons the air)
User of alcoholic liquor causes air to be poisoned (MH 328)
Wastes from lungs poison air (4SGa-143)
Wastes from pores of skin poison air (4SGa-143)
WHY?
"ROOMS THAT ARE NOT FREELY VENTILATED DAILY, and bedding that has not been thoroughly dried and aired, ARE NOT
FIT FOR USE. We feel confident that DISEASE AND GREAT SUFFERING ARE BROUGHT ON BY SLEEPING IN ROOMS WITH
CLOSED AND CURTAINED WINDOWS, NOT ADMITTING PURE AIR and the rays of the sun. . . . The room may not have
had an airing for months, nor the advantages of a fire for weeks, if at all. IT IS DANGEROUS TO HEALTH AND LIFE TO
SLEEP IN THESE ROOMS UNTIL THE OUTSIDE AIR SHALL HAVE CIRCULATED THROUGH THEM FOR SEVERAL HOURS and
the bedding shall have been dried by the fire(or today by a portable heater). Unless this precaution is taken, the rooms
and bedding will be damp. EVERY ROOM IN THE HOUSE SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY VENTILATED EVERY DAY, and in damp
weather should be warmed by fires. . . . EVERY ROOM IN YOUR DWELLING SHOULD BE DAILY THROWN OPEN to the
healthful rays of the sun, AND THE PURIFYING AIR SHOULD BE INVITED IN. THIS WILL BE A PREVENTIVE OF DISEASE. . .
MILDEW AND MOLD WOULD BE PREVENTED. THE CONFINED AIR OF UNVENTILATED ROOMS MEETS US WITH
SICKENING ODORS OF MILDEW AND MOLD, AND THE IMPURITIES EXHALED BY ITS INMATES...The emanations from
damp, moldy rooms and clothing are poisonous to the system.{HL 142.2}
Many have been taught from childhood that night air is positively injurious to health, and therefore must
be excluded from their rooms. To their own injury they close the windows and doors of their sleeping
apartments, to protect themselves from the night air which they say is so dangerous to health. IN THIS THEY
ARE DECEIVED (CH 59.3)(Christ tells us LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU(Matthew 24:3-4)
Many have been taught that night air is positively injurious to health, and therefore must be excluded from their
roomswe have no other air than night air, in this car or out of it. If you refuse to breathe the night air, you must stop
breathing. IN THE COOL OF THE EVENING IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO GUARD AGAINST CHILLINESS BY EXTRA
CLOTHING; BUT THERE SHOULD BE A FREE CIRCULATION OF PURE AIR THROUGH THE ROOM DURING SLEEPING
HOURS. The free air of heaven, by day or night, is one of the richest blessings we can enjoy.{CTBH 104.1}
God has provided for His creatures air to breathe for the day, and the same, made a little cooler, for the
night. In the night it is not possible for you to breathe anything but night air. The question is: Shall the night
air we breathe be pure, or is it improved after it has been breathed over and over? Is it for our health to
breathe the polluted night air of this car? The exhalations thrown off by the lungs and bodies of men steeped
in tobacco and alcohol, pollute the air and endanger health; and yet nearly all the passengers sit as indifferent
as though inhaling the purest atmosphere. God has wisely provided for us, that in the night we should
breathe night air, and in the day, the air of the day. IF WE FAIL TO ANSWER THE PLAN OF GOD, and the
blood becomes impure, our wrong habits have made it thus. But the air of night, breathed in the night, will
not of itself poison the current of human life{2T 527.3}
MANY ARE SUFFERING FROM DISEASE BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO RECEIVE INTO THEIR ROOMS AT NIGHT THE PURE
NIGHT AIR. {CH 59.3}
***Be sure not to sit under a draft...If your bed is directly under the window then open a window in an adjoining
room...
"THE LUNGS SHOULD BE ALLOWED THE GREATEST FREEDOM POSSIBLE. THEIR CAPACITY IS DEVELOPED BY FREE
ACTION; IT DIMINISHES IF THEY ARE CRAMPED AND COMPRESSED..."{VSS 191.2}
"THE ILL EFFECTS OF THE PRACTICE SO COMMON, ESPECIALLY IN SEDENTARY PURSUITS, OF STOOPING AT ONE'S
WORK. IN THIS POSITION IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BREATHE DEEPLY. SUPERFICIAL BREATHING SOON BECOMES A HABIT,
AND THE LUNGS LOSE THEIR POWER TO EXPAND. A SIMILAR EFFECT IS PRODUCED BY TIGHT LACING. Sufficient room
is not given to the lower part of the chest; the abdominal muscles, which were designed to aid in breathing, do not have
full play, and the lungs are restricted in their action.{VSS 191.2}
"FOR THE LIFE OF THE FLESH IS IN THE BLOOD...." (Leviticus 17:11)
"IN ORDER TO HAVE GOOD BLOOD, WE MUST BREATHE WELLFULL, DEEP INSPIRATIONS OF PURE AIR, which FILL
THE LUNGS WITH OXYGEN, PURIFY THE BLOOD. They impart to it a bright color and send it, a life-giving current, to
every part of the body.
A GOOD RESPIRATION
SOOTHES THE NERVES;
IT STIMULATES THE APPETITE AND
RENDERS DIGESTION MORE PERFECT; AND IT
INDUCES SOUND, REFRESHING SLEEP.{MH 272.1}
"It is a great thing to ENSURE HEALTH BY PLACING OURSELVES IN RIGHT RELATIONS TO THE LAWS OF LIFE. {ML
128.2}
AMONG THE FIRST THINGS TO BE AIMED AT SHOULD BE A CORRECT POSITION(posture), BOTH IN SITTING AND
STANDING. God made man upright, and He desires him to possess not only the physical but the mental and
moral benefit, the grace and dignity and self-possession, the courage and self-reliance, which an erect bearing
so greatly tends to promote."{ML 128.3}
"THE ONE WHO SITS AND STANDS ERECT IS MORE LIKELY THAN OTHERS TO BREATHE PROPERLY...
IMPRESS...THE IMPORTANCE OF DEEP BREATHING...AND WHILE THE IMPORTANCE OF DEEP BREATHING IS
SHOWN, THE PRACTICE SHOULD BE INSISTED UPON. Let exercises be given which will promote this, and see
that the habit becomes established.{Ed 198.4}
"Show how the healthy action of the RESPIRATORY ORGANS, ASSISTING THE CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD,
INVIGORATES THE WHOLE SYSTEM, EXCITES THE APPETITE, PROMOTES DIGESTION, and INDUCES SOUND,
SWEET SLEEP, thus not only REFRESHING THE BODY, but SOOTHING AND TRANQUILIZING THE MIND." {Ed
198.4}
"EVERY LAW GOVERNING THE HUMAN SYSTEM IS TO BE STRICTLY REGARDED; FOR IT IS AS TRULY A LAW OF
GOD AS IS THE WORD OF HOLY WRIT; and every willful deviation from obedience to this law is as certainly sin
as a violation of the moral law..."{RH, October 18, 1881 par. 8}
"IT IS AS TRULY A SIN TO VIOLATE THE LAWS OF OUR BEING AS IT IS TO BREAK THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
To do either is to break God's laws[SEE ALSO 63] {CD 17.3}
" TO NEGLECT TO LET INTO EVERY ROOM IN THE HOUSE GODS PURE AIR and sunshine, SHOWS A LACK OF
FAITH IN HIM. {MM 262.2} (See Luke 18:8)
PINE, CEDAR, AND FIR TREES(all needleleaf trees) ARE GREAT TO HAVE IN AREAS WHERE YOU MOVE TO:
How grateful to weary invalids accustomed to city life, the glare of many lights, and the noise of the streets are the
quiet and freedom of the country! How eagerly do they turn to the scenes of nature! How glad would they be for the
advantages of a sanitarium in the country, where they could sit in the open air, rejoice in the sunshine, and breathe the
fragrance of tree and flower! There are life-giving properties in the balsam of the pine, in the fragrance of the cedar and
the fir. And there are other trees that are health-promoting. Let no such trees be ruthlessly cut down. Cherish them
where they are abundant, and plant more where there are but few. {CH 170.2}
***BECAUSE OF THE MASSIVE SPRAYING OF CHEMTRAILS, LIVING IN THE COUNTRY ,WHERE THERE ARE LOTS OF THE
ABOVE NAMED TYPES OF TREES, WOULD BE CONDUCIVE TO HEALTH***
IT IS GREAT TO HAVE HOUSE PLANTS IN THE HOME TO HELP CLEAN THE AIR IN THE HOME. The following are lists of
these plants:
