God Created Our Food Exactly Right
For Health Moment -JG-TC article on Friday 8-23-12
God created our food exactly right to give us optimum health. The more we alter it with processing, additives, high heat cooking, and gene splicing, the less nutritious it becomes.
We often fail to realize how amazingly complex and intricately designed the food is that God designed for us to eat day by day. Most of us know about vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. But did we know that food properly grown and prepared has hundreds and thousands of compounds called phytonutrients besides the ones listed above.
Scientists believe there are over 10,000 of these components found in plants that make a huge difference in one's health and are just as important as the basics listed above. Some of the more common classes of these are cartenoids, flavonoids, phytates, lignans, phytoestrogens, indoles, phenols, saponins, sulfides, and targenes. These foods are abundant in fruits and vegetables.
Unfortunately, many who eat primarily the "Standard American Diet" (SAD) do not get enough of these miracles health promoters to keep them disease free. This diet is composed primarily of processed foods which destroys the phytonturients. Also, when one regularly consumes some of the 10,000 food additives put in the food for preservation and enhance taste, a host of undesirable effects will result.
Below are ways to handle fruits and vegetable to preserve the 1000s of delicate organic components found therein.
1. Try to get these foods from the garden or buy organically gown. This will give the top nutrient value and they will be free from pesticides. If unable to get organically grown, commercially grown produce should be soaked 20 minutes in a vegetable wash to remove chemical residues. Avoid GMO grains and vegetables.
2. Food should be fresh as possible. Foods process and packed in container will have most of the nutrients destroyed. Frozen foods if harvested and prepared properly are preferable to canned foods.
3. In preparation for eating, the order from best to worst is raw, lightly stir fired or steamed (crunchy), and cooked or roasted slowly at low heat. Heavily cooked food will cause most of the phytonutrients to be destroyed.
4. Juicing of raw vegetables and fruits is a great way to get concentrated nutrients into your system.
God packed our foods with nutrients for health and healing. Eat them as close to nature as possible.

Natural Healing Takes Time
Your Body Can Heal—Be Patient
One thing I have in common with most Americans is that I do not like to wait. If I choose between a business that is slow and one that gets it done quickly, I will choose the faster one.
Most of us tend to be an impatient lot. We want and demand “instant” everything—food, coffee, and service. Unfortunately, this expectation is unrealistic for the most important things in life and especially our health.
While the human body is incredibly capable of healing and rejuvenation, it does ask for and require one thing—time. Attempts to speed this process up with drugs and various other methods often end up in an incomplete job and could result in increasing recovery time in the long run.
The human body does not work on anybody’s production schedule. It accesses the problem, prevents as much damage as possible to other tissue, and goes about doing what it takes—no matter how long it takes.
I have seen this play out numerous times with patients through the years. Sometimes a person with low back pain tires of the discipline it takes to create an optimum healing situation and elects to have surgery instead of allowing the body to heal the disc. This is usually a poor choice and leads to worse problems later.
It is common for a person with digestive problems to elect to take prescription drugs to cover up the symptoms rather giving the body the time and the proper nutrients to heal the underlying cause of the problem. This leads to a lifetime dependence on a drug plus never cures the cause of the problem.
How long should a person give the body to heal before more invasive medical procedures? This of course would depend on the condition, but generally natural remedies time to should give some sign of progress before continuing. If progress is noted, give it time.
My experience has been that the body is capable of healing most diseases given the proper conditions and time.

"Natural Health by Drs. Don & Nancy"
I am always on the look out for ways to spread the word about the Creator's Design for Health. I have recently started a talk radio show on www. BlogTalkRadio.com entitled "Natural Health by Drs. Don and Nancy".
This media will give the opportunity to have an international audience...anywhere the internet is present and English is spoken. We will emphasize God's intent for human health and explore the unfathomable wonders of God's Design.
The shows are only available on archives presently so will not allow call in guests. As time goes on, we will decide on a regular show time, announce this, have you call in and comment.
The first few segments can be found by googling "Natural Health by Drs. Don and Nancy" or by putting this title in the search at www.blogtalkradio.com.
We have some great guests lined up. Keep your eye out and spread the word.

Bi-Pass Surgery...Harmful Cure for Diabetes
Harmful Solution: Bi-Pass Surgery to Cure Diabetes
On the NBC evening news a "revolutionary breakthrough" in treating diabetes was reported to have been discovered. The study found that bi-pass surgery cured diabetes for a large number of patients.
I amazed at the lengths the medical community will go to legitimize a barbaric, unnatural, expensive, and disabling surgical procedure. I have never in my office seen a patient who has under gone bi-pass surgery for weight control who did not eventually experience multiple health problems. Many of them gain much of the weight back as well.
The body was not designed to carry extreme amounts of excess weigh. All kinds of things will go wrong with the muscle and skeletal system and well as the endocrine system including diabetes. Over weight is a lifestyle disease and is completely curable naturally without drugs and surgery.
Bi-pass surgery as do most medical procedures will not cure the problem but only relieves the symptoms. It is $25,000 band aide covering up the underlying cause of the problem destroying the patient's health. A long term program of training in a proper diet and help with the many factors contributing to over weigh is working according the Creator's design for health.

Design Vs Creation.......Bi-Pass Surgery Poor Cure for Diabetes
Creation Vs Evolution
Letter to the Editor: Today's letter to the editor in the Journal Times Courier http://jg-tc.com/news/opinion/ by Jack Pierce was excellent. He told about his belief in the biblical creation account as he considered
"the human body...with its intricate design and inter relationships of every cell and organ with each other in order that we humans, both make and female, might live, breathe, function, reason, and perform the intricate and difficult tasks. Perhaps the miracle of reproduction being the most remarkable of all."
Wow, great letter.

God's Design for a Great Memory

The Creator's Design for a Great Memory
This morning on the radio I heard a report of research done on green tea and its effect on memory. I will summarize the results but I am sorry I did not catch all of the details.
The scientist found that the anti-oxidant in green tea sharpens the memory and prevents the onset of Alzheimer's disease in laboratory mice. Further studies are being conducted to see if it has the same effect on humans. I believe it will.
As we learn more, we find an ever increasing body of knowledge on the healing effects of just ordinary food. Science has not scratched the surface.
What we need to do is believe that God made it just as He intended. When we consume it in an unaltered form as close to creation as possible, we will enjoy the treasures for health God placed therein.

Dr. Furhman, MD, PBS special...
Science Confirms Creator's Design
I heard Dr. Fuhrman give a talk last night on a Public Broadcasting System (PBS) fund raiser last night.
He spoke of how modern science has found the greatest power for healing is found in food properly grown and consumed.
In 1930s it was discovered that the vitamin and minerals in food were important to health, and companies started to produce and promote these artificially on a grand scale. To this very day in 2012, most health care providers and the general public thinks these are the main nutrients in food beside the carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
He points out there are 1,000s of micro nutrients only found in food (not vitamins pills) which are essential to optimum health and prevention of disease. He speaks of how nature has placed these there for our healing.
I am not certain of Dr. Fuhrman's religious beliefs, but I get from his talk he believes in intelligent design by God. We must
