Dr Becker did a whole show on Dietary Guidlines in the Bible called Superior foods.
Plus he also did like he does in the start of all his programs.

First he presents all the new research out there on foods supplements and medical health and conditions..
In Doctor form/terms.
Then he lays it all out there..
And this time it was all directly from the Bible in dietary food requirments.
From Genesis all the way out to Daniel ect..
But not only did he do it in the health benefits form..
He did it from the angle of scavengers, toxins, parasitic infection foods, poisons, excessive fat,
fish bottom dwellers and infectious disease, decay & bacteria.

He just broke it all down and explained the reasons in research why certain animals/fish are good to eat
and why others are not.
He is so smart and just layed it all out there.
He's really got all that research down.
He said God cares about our physical bodies.
He called God the great Physician and scientific research
is now catching up to all of that of the why's and
what it all means..

Even though he talked about food being lawfull O.K now but
not profitable and he quoted just tons of scriptures on TV.
He said thoses food requirements are still good to live by.
He said there are good reasons for them..
If one cares about their health.
Quality foods.. The Sacrific of the best you had to offer..
Thats what God wants.
The best...
He said it's worth the effert to make the changes and he ended it with quoteing 3 John 2..
Beloved, in regard to all things, I pray (for) you to do well and to be in health, as your soul does well.

And good health does mean alot too as without it..
We give out easily.

A Health Code Of Preventive Medicine?

Why does the Old Testament forbid sexual intercourse during menstruation (Leviticus 18:19).?

Though many consider this instruction a throwback to an unenlightened, superstitious era, some doctors have a different opinion.
A study appearing in the Journel of Reproductive Medicine, volume 34(11),1989, indicates a health risk for women who on occasion
or often have vaginal intercourse during menstruation.

Theses women tend to have a greater risk for developing painfull cysts on the ovaries or other pelvic organs.
This condition is a common cause of infertility, according to the American Medical Association.

Dewitt W. Brown, M.D., of Indianapolis, Indiana,
says vaginal intercourse during menstruation is an overlooked mode of transmitting hepatitis
and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). " My thinking about it is since theses diseases are
transmitted by exposure to blood, menstruation is about the most dangerous time for vaginal intercourse,
" says Dr Brown.

Some studies suggest the AIDS virus passes more readily from a women to a man during this time.
Dr Brown points out that the woman is also more vunerable to recieving infection during menstruation.
He feels its best for both the man and the women to abstain from vaginal intercourse at that time.
A November 1991 survey of medical hot lines by Time magazine gives the same advice.

Though some rites of the Old Testament no longer apply, Leviticus 18:19 is a health code of preventive medicine.

The Plain Truth

A medallion with two fish and three inscriptions.

The symbol of the fish in early Christianity.
What a healthy food what a gift to us humans.
At least in it's natural state as mankind the merchants and corperations has polluted the fish..
makeing a wonderfull food a toxic food in alot of cases.
Filled with pollutents.

Dr Becker talked about the health benefits of B-12.
And the sources of the vitamins we get in our foods.
Sources on this planet and B-12 being natures most beautifull vitamin and neccesary for life.
The code for wellness as it effects the blood cells DNA and RNA.
A beautifull ruby red.
It's so fitting and that Jesus ate the fish in Luke 24:42 on that amazing day..
And they gave a broiled part(of)a fish to Him..
What a wonderfull gift to humankind..
A good source of B-12 too..
In it's natural state of course.
The less toxins the better as the toxins are a gift from mankind...
Can't wait till the world is put back into it's natural state again..
This world is a poluted mess as they are ruining the earth..
Daily.

I Just Read This On The Board and...
Vitamin E Under Fraudulent Attack by National Cancer Institute... Again

Another flawed study brought to you by..

But I'd also take it too.. to help cure cancer, if I had it.
Thats what I would do but..
It's like eggs are good for you eggs are bad for you and eggs are good for you again.
People theses days take theses things with a grain of salt anyway.

Cleanliness

Why Is It Important?

For thousands of years, plauges and pestilences have afflicted mankind.
Some people assumed that theses were a sign of the wrath of God and were sent to punish wrongdowers.
Patient observation and painstaking research over many centuries have revealed that the culprits were often small creatures that live alongside us.

Medical researchers discovered that rats, mice,cockroaches, flies, and mosquitoes can serve as hosts for transmitting disease.
They also found that people often invite infectious diseases simply by a lack of hygiene.
Cleanliness, it seems, can make the difference between life and death.

Obviously, standards of cleanliness vary according to customs and circumstances.
In areas where there is no running water or adequate sewage disposal, hygiene can be a real challenge.
Neverless, God gave the ancient Israelites instructions on cleanliness while they were traveling through the wilderness--
some of the most difficult circumstances imaginable for practicing good hygiene!

Why does cleanliness matter to God?
What is a reasonable view of cleanliness?
What simple precautions can you and your family take to reduce disease?

God Requires Cleaniness

During their wilderness trek, the Israelites were instructed to take great care when disposing of human waste.
--- Deuteronomy 23:12-14

This must have been a tiresome chore in the view of the size of the camp, but it doubtless helped prevent such diseases as typhoid fever and cholera.

The people were commanded to wash or destroy any item that came in contact with a dead body.
Though they may not have understood the reason for this, the Israelites were thus helped to avoid infection and disease.
---- Levitcus 11:32-38

The priests were to wash both their hands and their feet before performing their duties at the tabernacle.
Filling the copper basin that contained the water for this purpose could not have been easy, but washing was a strict requirement.
--- Exodus 30:17-21

Reminders From a Medical Doctor

Water is essential to life, but contaminated water can be a source of sickness and death.
Dr J. Mbangue Lobe, chief of the medical department at the port of Douala, Cameroon, offered some practical pointers in an interview.

" Boil your drinking water when in doubt."
But he warned: " The use of bleach or other chemicals are all right but may be hazardous if not handled properly.
Always wash your hands with soap and water before a meal and after useing the toilet.
A bar of soap does not cost a fortune, so even poor people can afford it.
Wash your hands often, useing hot water if you have skin problems or diseases."

" Good hygiene in and around the house must be observed by all members of the family," continued the doctor.
" Toilets and outhouses are often neglected and automatically become a haven for roaches and flies."

Adding one important observation concerning children, he cautioned: " Beware of bathing in thoses small creeks in your neighborhood.
They are full of dangerous microbes.
Wash nightly at home before going to bed, brush your teeth well at night, and sleep under a mosquito net."
The general idea behind all these remarks is to think ahead, take action and avoid trouble.

1 Timothy 4:
But the Spirit expressly says in latter times some will depart from the faith, cleaving to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons.
in lying hypocrisy being seared in (their) own conscience.
forbidding to marry, (saying) to abstain from foods, which God created for partaking/to be recieved with thanksgiving by the believers and (thoses)
knowing the truth.

And the truth is..

The key word here is God created to be recieved or for partaking.
God didn't create scavengers to be recieved.
It's for our own good..
This is the same old flesh bodies they had back then and that we have now.
Scavengers are just not good for us to eat.
I wouldn't suggest it.

scavengers, toxins, parasitic infection foods, poisons, excessive fat, fish bottom dwellers and infectious disease, decay & bacteria.

None of it is good for consumption.
Not a good idea at all..
In Gods Infinite Wisdom.
Why eat it??

As they say..... (((( Smiles ))))

You are what you eat from your head to your feet.

Hello Lynn!

Let's have a little Bible study....regarding FOOD.

Now...What would you say, or how would you refer a Bible student to the 'meaning of a few verses'?

1) What is meant in: ACTS 10:9-15 ?

(paraphrased) Peter went up on the housetop to pray...he became very hungry, he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened, a vessel descended unto him, (a great sheet knit at four corners), wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth (deer, swine, horses,cows, elephants , wild beasts, creeping things (snakes), and birds of the sky (eagles, sparrows, crow, bats), etc,etc.

A voice came to Peter that said, "Rise, Peter, kill, and eat."

Now Peter, being a Jew, was under the Law of Moses. What foods could he NOT eat and what was permitted? AND WHERE did that voice come from???

So Peter said, "Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean" The voice spake again, "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common." This happened 3 TIMES!

What is the Lord teaching us here? Where do we find the answer?

---
Next, in light of the above story, what does Jesus' comment to the Pharisees mean? "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man."
What is Jesus telling us in this verse?
Does it apply to 'eating clean or unclean foods?
---
One more to ponder....
Romans 14 Chapter 1 and onward, Paul is telling people 'the duty of charitableness...'

What does one (person), do if he goes to eat with a friend that does NOT believe it's alright to eat pork chops, fried oysters, shrimp, or catfish??? Yet this person is hungry for these foods?? What does scripture tell us? Where is this found in the Bible?
----
Oh, and just for the record, I am from Louisians, home of the Cajuns. You have to eat pork sausage,pork chops, oysters, fried catfish, and cornbread to live amongst those folks.

What are your personal thoughts on that, Lynn? Thank you and have a good evening.

Hi Abishag, (((( Smiles ))))

Do we have to stick to the subject of food as now I'm getting hungry before bedtime but.....
I like cornbread and use to eat lobster not much into oyster.
And lots of catfish etc are full of mercury these days.
They had to go destroy a good food like fish.
But the meaning of Peters vision and what that vision meant.
It had to do with the Jews and the Gentiles which were considered unclean.
It gives the interesting account of the Gentile Cornelius who prayed for the truth.
Peter had the vision and did not know what the vision meant. Verse 17.
Behold three men seek and on the way to Cornelius house the Lord answered Pauls wondering and showed him the meaning of the vision.
And Paul entered the house full of gentiles.
As verse 28 says: You know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God had showed me..

And here's the meaning of the vision...
That I should not call any man common or unclean."
So God clarified the visions meaning and it had nothing to do with diet. But instead..
It was a sign that the gospel was to be preached to the gentiles who were made clean.
"What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
It was symbolic in meaning but understood by the Jews..

Here it is in full.

I see it like this and could have found a better site but this will do..
http://www.all-creatures.org/discuss/svtacts10.1-11.18-flh.html

And I sure am glad about that you too as it was the best vision Paul ever had given by God, for us.. ((( Smiles )))

--Yes! CORRECT!

Your explanation of the Lord allowing Jews and Gentiles the offer of salvation, in the Bible, through JESUS! God is no respecter of persons.

I wondered if you desired to continue with the next two questions? The meaning of Matthew 15:11 ?? The Pharisees were very adamant in 'following the Law', Old Testament. They, in fact, exalted tradition above Divine Law. I assume you know this...Jesus jumped on them... ,

"Hear, and understand: Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth defiteh him."

The Pharisees were accusing Jesus and his disciples of transgressing the law because they didn't wash their hands before they ate. (FOOD, AGAIN !).

Parable: (paraphrased)--Jesus was reproving the Pharisees because they 'dishonored parents'. Also He told them "Thus you have made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. [u]YOU HYPOCRITES!" (my exclamation)[/u]

Perhaps, Lynn, you do not wish to answer the one in Romans 14?
Supposing you are dining with me and I were to eat shrimp, oysters, CATFISH, (Ha!), pork chops, etc,etc...(Not that I do, mind you)...if I did, how would YOU handle that? This is what is being served on my table to YOU.

I understand that this is speaking to 'how to treat a weak brother or sister'? YET, once again Christians are instructed on how to handle themselves if caught in a situation such as this.

NOW, I am only going -on with this because you have posted a lot of info regarding Dietary Guidlines, etc, etc. And I figured it would be a good 'place to give a Bible Study'.

Have a blessed weekend! In Christ, /JESUS IS LORD!

Hi Abishag, (((( Smiles )))

Correct!

The Pharisees were accusing Jesus and his disciples of transgressing the law because they didn't wash their hands before they ate.
Also, the Jews had a tradition requiring the hands should be ceremonially washed after each contact with a Gentile.

They chided Jesus and his disciples..
He replied about what comes out of the mouth and in Verse 15:
Peter said declare the parable this is a parable,
Jesus explained the parabel and his explanation was..

Verse 19, 20 what comes out of the heart that these were the things that defiled a man but to eat with unclean hands defileth not a man.

The Jewish leaders where upset about a custom while Jesus was more concerned about what was in their hearts.
It had nothing to do with the diet it had to do with ceremonial washing of the hands versus what was in their hearts..
One defiled the other did not.

To know what was in their hearts and as Jesus new is in verses 19.
Verses the traditions as ..

Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?

One defiled, the other did not.
The Gentiles have been made "clean".
Will ponder on the other one later until then..
You can expand on the evil thoughts coming out of their hearts..
Murder'est ones.. He saw into that. (((( Smiles ))))
Have a blessed weekend too my friend!

Hi Abishag, (((( Smiles )))

Ahhhh.. there's one about food and my question to you is...
About those foods that you will be dining on " maybe ", is..
have they been sacrificed to Idols first???
As Paul concedes that an idol is nothing in the world.
And Peter said: 2 Peter 3:16" that Paul's letters contain some things that are hard to understand and Paul even admits that as in..
his first letter I Thessalonians as in 2 Thessalonians : nor by letter as from us...
Paul was writting about problems of judging as a serious division existed in the early church.
Over what were they judging each other?
Paul talked about the problem over the food in 1 Corinthians 8:1,13 and 1 Corinthians 8:4.
For those who felt it was unclean, Paul said it was better not to offend their weak conscience ( verse 10 ) by eating it before them.
The foods offered to idols was not unclean food ( Acts 14:13 )

That was the division between the Gentile Christians and the Jewish Christians over the food issue back then as you already know...
So ... would that be supersized or would you have fries with all that.. Thats alot of food you'll awake with a tummy ache dining on all that.. (((( Smiles ))))

--Greetings and Blessings, Lynn!

Thank you for the time you spent in studying and posting your thoughts (scripturally), of how you feel about the 'MEAL' that I am serving at my home. (analogy)

As you can read for yourself, my specific question was regarding Romans 14:1-3, ...these food WERE NOT sacrificed to idols. These were ALL VARIETIES of foods being served to Christians.

We read in Romans 14 that there was a difference among them about the distinction of meats (and days); the case was this: The members of the Christian church at Rome were some of them originally Gentiles, and others of them Jews. We find Jews at Rome believing. Now those that had been Jews were trained up in the observance of the ceremonial appointments touching meats. Even after they turned to (believing) Christians; it was hard to get out of them (flesh), as it was bred in the bone with them, and they were not easily weaned from what they had long been following,(Law).

Concerning meats: One believes that he may eat all things--he is well satisfied that the ceremonial distinction of meats into clean and unclean is no longer in force, but that every creature of God is good and nothing to be refused: nothing unclean of itself. This the strong Christian is clear in, and practices accordingly, eating what is set before him and asking no question for conscience' sake: 1 Corinthians 10:27.

On the other hand, another who is weak (new Christian), is dissatisfied in this point, is not clear in his Christian liberty, but rather inclines to think that the meats forbidden by law remain still unclean: and therefore, to keep at a distance from them, he will not eat any flesh at all, but eats only herbs. There is great conviction in one's conscience in certain matters of 'eating' foods. Many vegetarians feel that it is not healthy to eat (any) meat. I have a dear friend who feels this way.

Yes, I agree with you, in that we DO NOT judge others by how their conscience is leading them (Christians), in eating.

As Rom 14:5b reminds us "Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind."

So if I had you over for dinner and the above things were served, and your conscience would not permit you to eat the foods, I must excuse you. Likewise, if I came to your home and you served BBQ porked sausages, I would LOVE IT! I also love shrimp, in case you serve that one, Lynn! I think you refer to some of these as 'scavengers' of the waters??
According to scriptures, it is what my conscience tells me, and if I know the waters have been poisoned where catfish are, I must REFRAIN!

Same with any foods that are UNHEALTHY, since we are wise enough to KNOW NOT TO EAT something that might harm our bodies, "the temple of the Holy Spirit, of the Living God."

For the record, I have eaten oysters, and they are YUKKY! I am allergic to Lobster and Crab meat. (as is my sister)

No, Lynn, not supersized! I have my own FF/Baked Lays Potato Chips! Which I LOVE! Speaking of which.....TIME TO EAT!

Hi Abishag, (((( Smiles )))))

I love certain herbs and vegetables and eating certain meats.
Yes some where Jews some where Gentiles.
But I still stick by what I wrote above and there is much more on that subject in full detail.
Plus it's O.K. to refuse to eat a food at someones house because your allergic to it or it's unhealthy or unclean then and still unclean now, it's the same foods as before and..
I agree with Dr Becker on that same food.

Yet, I agree with this right here too..
And this is my point not just my thoughts on it.



http://www.chooselord.apostolicnetwork.com/justsayno.html

Hogs and other Hazards.

http://www.amazingfacts.org/FreeStu...Hogs-and-Other-Hazards/SC/R/Default.aspx

I still believe as foods can heal or kill as, eat a good mushroom or a poisonus mushroom and there's the diffence and some kill us more slowly overtime of course..
But with Adam and Eve, what they ate/digested was a matter of life and death for them. What we eat can heal us or kill us.

"You are what you eat from your head to your feet."

A person can choose to eat what they want to we all have the gift of freedom of choice.
But glad your not into oysters lobster and crab.
Lobsters expecially can taste great expecially with melted butter.. Yum!
But it's still unclean by bibical standards and Paul in writing letters in regard to people's issues before our time can be confusing or easily misunderstood and he admitted that himself.
Peter confirmed it too, so to get a good idea about where Paul stands is to understand the culture of that time the people he was addressing and compare it to his other letters..
More people have an issue with Paul because of the things he wrote back then then about anybody else in the Bible.
Like on the subject of women in the church etc..
He is very easy to misunderstand too but this is how I still see it My Friend..... (((( Smiles ))))

And please do refrain from catfish yuk! me too thats good as it's worse even now as they are mercury and other chemical laden toxic as you know.
They were much cleaner if not clean in Jesus's day.

Ahh a video... This is a good too...

http://www.scribd.com/doc/813/What-Does-the-Bible-Teach-About-Clean-and-Unclean-Meats

I love chips too and sometimes it's so hard choclate too and cake.. I'm not perfect either.
(((( Smiles ))))

Diet: Plays an important role in all conditions and health issues!
Yet many times when people get sick they blame God and not their choices or themselves.
The thing about living in a world with the God given freedom of choice is the freedom of sickness too.
And as we do live in a physical world sickness will happen.
but besides just diet alone there are other ways that is God based that can lead to better health or peace of mind, "like prayer."
Sometimes we need to wipe the slate clean and take it from there. But only God alone can totally wipe a slate clean.
But change is always possible and God's way is always the better way to better health. Tasty foods can be tempting indeed!
We live in a world of great temptation and it's never easy.
We are all only human indeed but with a prayer life: All things can be possible. Thats the good news.
Sometimes we need the help of God, too overcome.

About Diet was reading that: Eating a High-Fat Diet May Rapidly Injure Brain Cells That Control Body Weight.
In this study they saw a developed inflammation in the hypothalamus.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/06/110608161533.htm

And we do live in a junk food society with MSG and Aspertame and other flavorants and additives involved.
And also with seeing more and more people, children and babies over the years being injected with additives contained in the vaccines and knowing what those additives can be...
Totally an eye opener what they are plus additives are in about everything it seems, these days.
We are constantly being polluted and not just this planet we happen to live on.
No wonder people have been getting sicker and sicker in this fallen world of constant choices that are not always good for us.
Sometimes we make choices that "we believed" were for the greater good at the time...
to find out later that what we didn't know at the time could still possibly hurt us.
And even antibiotics which could possibly save someone comes with a double edged sword with overuse and abuse.
We have fallen far from the Garden of Eden and the health and longevity of our ancient forefathers.
Satan has taken a firm grip on this world it has degraded over time, not evolved.
Thats what the Bible says is happening. This system of things will pass away not get better.
And people are being told they can save the planet we "need to save" the planet urgent!
But the Bible says we cannot only God can save us all from our fate to come. So either we can believe God or we can believe them.
This world is all about choices when it boils down to it. We all eventually will have to choose. There is no other way out... But this.

The Good Lord Is Giving Us The Guidence.
Dr Joel Wallach is a man with a mission & minerals & herbs is what God gave us so we could learn so much to try to get well.
