Nearly one third of
the senior population
00:00:01.40\00:00:02.77
are taking at least
five prescription drugs.
00:00:02.80\00:00:05.83
Those who have chronic illnesses
are taking up to 20 or more,
00:00:05.86\00:00:09.55
totaling over
100,000 deaths per year.
00:00:09.58\00:00:13.77
What went wrong? Is
there another alternative?
00:00:13.80\00:00:16.39
Well, today's
program is entitled,
00:00:16.42\00:00:18.33
"Medicines from the
Earth". We'll be right back.
00:00:18.36\00:00:21.07

00:01:02.19\00:01:04.78
I'm your bride, so,
Eakins. Eakins, okay.
00:01:04.81\00:01:07.84
Very good, I'm glad you're

00:01:07.87\00:01:11.32
I'm glad to be here as well.
00:01:11.35\00:01:12.87
Yes, okay, and so
why is the laughter?
00:01:12.90\00:01:16.63
This is the new
series. Yes, it is.
00:01:16.66\00:01:18.47
Well, why don't
we talk about that?
00:01:18.50\00:01:20.08
Yeah, let's talk about that.
00:01:20.11\00:01:21.48
Well, this series is about--
now again this is my new series
00:01:21.51\00:01:24.57
as my wife have said
and this series is entitled
00:01:24.60\00:01:27.70
"The Eight Natural Remedies."
00:01:27.73\00:01:30.99
And some of the
Adventist Christians known about
00:01:31.02\00:01:32.75
the eight natural remedies
for, I guess over 40 years now.
00:01:32.78\00:01:36.13
And lot of us are
Seventh-day Adventist Christians
00:01:36.16\00:01:38.58
and others as well
has heard to a lot of
00:01:38.61\00:01:41.27
these eight basic
principles of health reform.
00:01:41.30\00:01:44.38
And so there's
one way to remember
00:01:44.41\00:01:47.04
these eight natural
remedies, it's a acronym.
00:01:47.07\00:01:49.68
So, honey, let's walk
them through the acronym
00:01:49.71\00:01:51.83
of the eight natural remedies,
this is the acronym for that.
00:01:51.86\00:01:54.44
And let's talk about
the eight natural remedies
00:01:54.47\00:01:56.06
that we'll be sharing with
them for the next few weeks.
00:01:56.09\00:01:58.34
Well, you know, for
sometime people have tried
00:01:58.37\00:02:00.06
to change them up a little bit.
00:02:00.09\00:02:01.46
Yeah, that's a
different version.
00:02:01.49\00:02:02.86
Well, basically, it's
called the eight naturals,
00:02:02.89\00:02:04.41
I say doctor's,
eight natural laws,
00:02:04.44\00:02:06.64
eight natural principles,
00:02:06.67\00:02:08.23
but it actually
is called new start.
00:02:08.26\00:02:11.07
I like that because
in the Book of Psalms,
00:02:11.10\00:02:13.02
it talks about that new
creation also as well. Okay.
00:02:13.05\00:02:15.96
But new start. The
'N' stands for nutrition.
00:02:15.99\00:02:18.97
The 'E' stands for exercise.
00:02:19.00\00:02:21.10
The 'W' stands for water.
00:02:21.13\00:02:23.32
The 'S' for sunshine.
00:02:23.35\00:02:25.37
The 'T' for temperance.
00:02:25.40\00:02:27.51
The 'A' for air.
00:02:27.54\00:02:29.46
The 'R' for rest
00:02:29.49\00:02:31.53
and the 'T' trust
in divine guidance.
00:02:31.56\00:02:35.49
That is just excellent.
Can you do that backwards?
00:02:35.52\00:02:39.74
One day I'll be
able to do it backwards,
00:02:39.77\00:02:41.33
but let me just
say, the word new start
00:02:41.36\00:02:45.89
actually came from our
understanding from a gentleman
00:02:45.92\00:02:48.05
that was trying to
remember the eight natural laws
00:02:48.08\00:02:50.25
from the book
Ministry of Healing
00:02:50.28\00:02:51.65
written by Ellen G. White,
we'll talk about her later also.
00:02:51.68\00:02:54.27
But basically he
put that together
00:02:54.30\00:02:56.28
in the new start philosophy.
00:02:56.31\00:02:57.98
If you think about it,
00:02:58.01\00:02:59.38
the trust in divine
guidance was the last one.
00:02:59.41\00:03:01.91
However, I submit
to you that if we--
00:03:01.94\00:03:06.25
enable for us to able to
do the eight natural. Okay.
00:03:06.28\00:03:09.42
We actually have to
trust in divine guidance first
00:03:09.45\00:03:12.38
then He could move
us through nutrition,
00:03:12.41\00:03:13.85
exercise and water, sunshine,
00:03:13.88\00:03:15.54
temperance, air,
rest and trust in Him.
00:03:15.57\00:03:18.26
Oh, okay, I think
there's a lot of acronyms
00:03:18.29\00:03:20.66
as my wife has said, I
think, one is called godly trust
00:03:20.69\00:03:24.31
or something like
that and of course
00:03:24.34\00:03:25.71
'G' would be godly trust,
okay that be first but again.
00:03:25.74\00:03:28.99
And these principles are
good for those who are sick
00:03:29.02\00:03:32.31
to help to
reverse a lot of diseases
00:03:32.34\00:03:34.70
and also those who are
well to keep them well.
00:03:34.73\00:03:37.53
And so as
Seventh-day Adventist Christians
00:03:37.56\00:03:38.95
we are here to
allow these principles
00:03:38.98\00:03:41.34
and we have enjoy a
measurable degree of health
00:03:41.37\00:03:43.98
and longevity
and we thought that
00:03:44.01\00:03:46.13
we'll put this into a
series to also share with you
00:03:46.16\00:03:50.12
these benefits that
you can receive as well,
00:03:50.15\00:03:52.75
the eight natural remedies.
00:03:52.78\00:03:54.15
So stay tuned for
the next few weeks,
00:03:54.18\00:03:55.82
we'll be walking through into
these eight natural remedies
00:03:55.85\00:03:59.74
to one degree or another,
we'll make some changes,
00:03:59.77\00:04:02.51
some variations but
basically we'll cover all eight.
00:04:02.54\00:04:05.89
We know, the last
time we came together,
00:04:05.92\00:04:07.29
you kind of
talked about nutrition
00:04:07.32\00:04:08.98
and you looked down some things
00:04:09.01\00:04:10.38
about all the different
diets out there in the market
00:04:10.41\00:04:12.84
and you spoke about the fact
00:04:12.87\00:04:14.24
that there was two main
individuals that was left out.
00:04:14.27\00:04:17.67
And we came to find out
that those two individuals
00:04:17.70\00:04:19.77
was God himself, the Creator
00:04:19.80\00:04:22.59
and the other one was once
again the author Ellen G. White
00:04:22.62\00:04:25.02
with the book
Ministry of Healing.
00:04:25.05\00:04:26.49
And so my question once again
00:04:26.52\00:04:28.50
and that is
these two individuals
00:04:28.53\00:04:30.50
have these main references
and so these references
00:04:30.53\00:04:33.08
also move into the area
of herbal medicine as well.
00:04:33.11\00:04:36.33
So, you know, what
about these main references
00:04:36.36\00:04:39.00
as it relate to our
medicines from the earth?
00:04:39.03\00:04:42.13
Okay, let's go
with first God's word
00:04:42.16\00:04:44.30
because God's word had to say
something about drug therapy.
00:04:44.33\00:04:47.79
If you mentioned In--
00:04:47.82\00:04:49.19
and lot of
people are taking drugs.
00:04:49.22\00:04:51.06
Here in United States we take--
00:04:51.09\00:04:52.46
we spend twice as
much money on drugs
00:04:52.49\00:04:55.22
that anybody else in the
world and we take two times
00:04:55.25\00:04:59.07
more drugs anybody else as well.
00:04:59.10\00:05:01.41
Yet, we're still one of
the sickest nations on earth.
00:05:01.44\00:05:05.03
So the Word of
God, this is God's word,
00:05:05.06\00:05:07.49
it's one of the
standards of truth
00:05:07.52\00:05:09.77
that we'll be using as, Paula,
our reference going through
00:05:09.80\00:05:13.67
the eight natural
remedies and God's word
00:05:13.70\00:05:15.86
has to say
something about drug therapy.
00:05:15.89\00:05:18.67
So I want you to turn to
your Bibles to Revelation 18:23,
00:05:18.70\00:05:25.21
now this maybe an eye
opening for a lot of people.
00:05:25.24\00:05:28.43
But God's word is clear
00:05:28.46\00:05:30.16
and we'll be using
this as our spring board
00:05:30.19\00:05:33.50
and to talk about
what God's words had to say
00:05:33.53\00:05:35.79
about drug therapy as well.
00:05:35.82\00:05:37.67
So Revelation Chapter 18
and the last part the Bible says
00:05:37.70\00:05:42.09
"For thy merchants
were great men of the earth,
00:05:42.12\00:05:48.20
for by thy sorceries
were all nations deceived."
00:05:48.23\00:05:54.50
All right, merchants,
those who are in business,
00:05:54.53\00:05:59.29
great men, presidents, CEO's,
00:05:59.32\00:06:03.07
"it says, by thy sorceries
all nations were deceived."
00:06:03.10\00:06:10.24
Now, honey, when most people
read or hear the word sorcery,
00:06:10.27\00:06:17.27
what word comes to
mind, honey? Witchcraft.
00:06:17.30\00:06:21.15
Okay, and that's right
00:06:21.18\00:06:22.55
and most people will
say witchcraft, all right.
00:06:22.58\00:06:25.25
Now keep in mind, the
Word of God was written in
00:06:25.28\00:06:28.25
Greek, Hebrew and
some portions are Aramaic.
00:06:28.28\00:06:30.92
In Revelation, the Bible of
course was written in Greek.
00:06:30.95\00:06:34.68
The word sorcery in
Greek is the word Pharmakeia,
00:06:34.71\00:06:41.19
in which we get the
words pharmacy, pharmacist,
00:06:41.22\00:06:48.12
as in medication
or druggist, sorcery,
00:06:48.15\00:06:55.34
taking medication, all right.
00:06:55.37\00:06:57.84
So this is very profound
and we're gonna highlight
00:06:57.87\00:07:00.79
that as well as we
go through the series
00:07:00.82\00:07:02.99
or this particular problem
00:07:03.02\00:07:04.39
as far as all
nations were deceived.
00:07:04.42\00:07:06.62
Well, lot of people
think, well, I take a drug,
00:07:06.65\00:07:09.73
oh, wait a minute, I'm cured.
00:07:09.76\00:07:12.79
Well, not necessarily so.
00:07:12.82\00:07:15.74
So again this is very profound,
00:07:15.77\00:07:17.70
the Word of God is clear on this
00:07:17.73\00:07:19.10
as far as sorceries were
all nations were deceived.
00:07:19.13\00:07:22.67
Again the merchants,
the great men on the earth,
00:07:22.70\00:07:25.15
of course
pharmaceutical companies
00:07:25.18\00:07:26.68
are some of the greatest
companies on planet earth
00:07:26.71\00:07:30.13
as far as our
sales is concerned so,
00:07:30.16\00:07:32.70
again this apply to,
we believe based on Greek,
00:07:32.73\00:07:36.09
sorcery, Pharmakeia which
is pharmacy and pharmacist.
00:07:36.12\00:07:42.61
Now you said pharmaceutical,
00:07:42.64\00:07:44.01
so that means that the
Food and Drug Administration,
00:07:44.04\00:07:46.92
they actually put up a
safety on drugs, right?
00:07:46.95\00:07:50.75
I mean, how safe they are that's
what they do, is that right?
00:07:50.78\00:07:53.54
Well, not, it would appear,
00:07:53.57\00:07:54.94
the Food and
Drug administration--
00:07:54.97\00:07:56.34
I mean, again it's called
the Food and Drug Administration
00:07:56.37\00:08:00.65
as far as safety is concerned.
00:08:00.68\00:08:02.13
I got a statement here that--
I want to read this statement,
00:08:02.16\00:08:05.55
this is a quote,
after I read the statement,
00:08:05.58\00:08:08.00
I want you to guess who
made this statement, all right.
00:08:08.03\00:08:11.55
Here's the
statement. This is a quote.
00:08:11.58\00:08:15.63
"Today we are faced with what
00:08:15.66\00:08:17.96
may be the single
greatest drug safety catastrophe
00:08:17.99\00:08:24.54
in a history of this country.
00:08:24.57\00:08:27.14
In my opinion, the FDA has
led the American people down
00:08:27.17\00:08:34.12
and sadly
portrayed a public trust."
00:08:34.15\00:08:40.58
Now this is a
congressional testimony.
00:08:40.61\00:08:44.09
Who do you think will
make such a statement?
00:08:44.12\00:08:45.95
I mean, I'm talking about
00:08:45.98\00:08:47.35
the Food and
Drug Administrations
00:08:47.38\00:08:48.75
both to protect
the safety of drug,
00:08:48.78\00:08:50.15
you know, usage,
can you give me any idea
00:08:50.18\00:08:52.87
who will make such
a statement as far as
00:08:52.90\00:08:55.75
the Food and
Drug Administration,
00:08:55.78\00:08:57.15
as far as letting the
American population down
00:08:57.18\00:09:00.57
and also
betraying the public trust.
00:09:00.60\00:09:02.31
You have any guesses,
00:09:02.34\00:09:03.71
any idea who will
make such a statement?
00:09:03.74\00:09:06.38
I have no idea.
00:09:06.41\00:09:07.78
Okay, I want you to
hold on to your seat,
00:09:07.81\00:09:09.18
I want you to hold
on to your seat. Okay.
00:09:09.21\00:09:11.32
The person who
made the statement,
00:09:11.35\00:09:13.52
Dr. David
Graham, guess what? What?
00:09:13.55\00:09:16.89
He works for the FDA.
00:09:16.92\00:09:20.03
He is the Associate
Director of Drug Safety
00:09:20.06\00:09:24.24
or the Food and
Drug Administration.
00:09:24.27\00:09:26.87
He made the
statement just after a box
00:09:26.90\00:09:29.13
back in a few years ago
and so because he's right there
00:09:29.16\00:09:33.04
dealing with the
drug safety and efficacy
00:09:33.07\00:09:35.84
of the food and
drug administration.
00:09:35.87\00:09:37.47
So he's aware of that,
again, you know, at sometimes
00:09:37.50\00:09:40.50
we watch television, honey,
00:09:40.53\00:09:42.11
and we all will
chuck amongst ourselves
00:09:42.14\00:09:44.36
because when a drug
commercial comes on-- Yes.
00:09:44.39\00:09:46.83
And over 50% of
commercials are drug related.
00:09:46.86\00:09:49.72
You know, probably about
80% of the drug commercials
00:09:49.75\00:09:52.56
itself is listing
all the side effects.
00:09:52.59\00:09:54.40
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:54.43\00:09:55.80
Take this drug and it
does this and does this.
00:09:55.83\00:09:57.45
But if you're pregnant,
or you want to get pregnant
00:09:57.48\00:09:59.65
or know someone who is pregnant
00:09:59.68\00:10:01.05
and don't take this drug or you
can't operate heavy machinery,
00:10:01.08\00:10:04.37
light machinery and you
can't drive your automobile
00:10:04.40\00:10:07.88
and you can hardly
do anything, you know.
00:10:07.91\00:10:10.15
And I don't see if
this drug is right for you,
00:10:10.18\00:10:12.55
you know, with all
those side effects.
00:10:12.58\00:10:13.95
So again you have
a lot of side effects
00:10:13.98\00:10:16.29
and but again lot of people
00:10:16.32\00:10:18.32
are taking
medication and drug therapy.
00:10:18.35\00:10:21.16
But again you have some
Belfort side effects as well.
00:10:21.19\00:10:24.12
So and you could
be mind full of that
00:10:24.15\00:10:26.11
and thousands
of people are dying
00:10:26.14\00:10:28.55
because of misuse and
side effects of drug therapy.
00:10:28.58\00:10:33.09
Well, I was just
thinking about before
00:10:33.12\00:10:35.27
when those
commercials used to come on.
00:10:35.30\00:10:36.69
They would only
be-- that we're speaking
00:10:36.72\00:10:38.49
really fast when we
talk about the side effects.
00:10:38.52\00:10:40.49
Right, real fast.
00:10:40.52\00:10:41.89
Now they have actually
slow, really slow down.
00:10:41.92\00:10:44.98
There's one particular
one it came up this out,
00:10:45.01\00:10:47.53
it talks about, you know,
00:10:47.56\00:10:48.93
if you are going
through depression. Oh, yeah.
00:10:48.96\00:10:50.98
And that one there
and when you say that--
00:10:51.01\00:10:52.82
I mean, you know, you
almost gonna fit well--
00:10:52.85\00:10:55.05
where you find out
exactly what you are saying
00:10:55.08\00:10:57.14
as all the side effects.
00:10:57.17\00:10:58.98
Is worst then what
you have in first place.
00:10:59.01\00:11:00.38
Really, mind will stay
depressed, as they depress.
00:11:00.41\00:11:02.23
But praise the Lord,
there's a way out off all this.
00:11:02.26\00:11:04.57
Yeah, more drugs
for the side effects
00:11:04.60\00:11:06.24
or the list
goes long and longer.
00:11:06.27\00:11:07.94
What does the other reference
say about this whole thing?
00:11:07.97\00:11:10.45
Yeah, there's
one inspired writer
00:11:10.48\00:11:12.73
of course this is all
other reference Ellen G. White,
00:11:12.76\00:11:15.84
the author who has
written more volumes
00:11:15.87\00:11:19.24
on health, healthful living
00:11:19.27\00:11:20.64
been translate more than any
other author in United States
00:11:20.67\00:11:22.68
second in the world
has something to say
00:11:22.71\00:11:24.92
about this topic and
this is an eye opener as well.
00:11:24.95\00:11:27.63
Let's go to the screen
00:11:27.66\00:11:29.03
and look at what this
author said about drug therapy.
00:11:29.06\00:11:32.92
"Drugs for a Cure?"
00:11:32.95\00:11:35.14
This is taken from the
book Selected Messages,
00:11:35.17\00:11:37.14
book 2 page 451.
00:11:37.17\00:11:39.62
She simply put
"Drugs never cure disease.
00:11:39.65\00:11:45.89
They only change" get this
00:11:45.92\00:11:48.76
"the form and
location." All right.
00:11:48.79\00:11:54.41
Now that's a very
powerful statement.
00:11:54.44\00:11:58.02
They never cure
disease just simply change
00:11:58.05\00:12:01.23
the form and the location.
00:12:01.26\00:12:04.90
She goes on to say,
they didn't have reference
00:12:04.93\00:12:06.45
for the rest of the quote but
what happens is that years later
00:12:06.48\00:12:10.75
that form changed into a
different area of the body
00:12:10.78\00:12:13.65
which has maybe another
different type of disease
00:12:13.68\00:12:16.58
and people don't connect to that
00:12:16.61\00:12:17.98
because its years later
and it is in different form
00:12:18.01\00:12:21.46
and in a different location.
00:12:21.49\00:12:23.24
So again drugs never
cure and we're not saying
00:12:23.27\00:12:27.62
that I know that a
lot of people out there
00:12:27.65\00:12:29.03
are taking drug
medication for a lot of things.
00:12:29.06\00:12:31.94
We are not saying
get off your drug,
00:12:31.97\00:12:33.34
we are not saying that.
00:12:33.37\00:12:35.16
You know, if God
but if we're driving--
00:12:35.19\00:12:38.46
we're on a
automobile on the highway,
00:12:38.49\00:12:40.73
you said this before
and we get into accident
00:12:40.76\00:12:44.77
and truck hit us or whatever
00:12:44.80\00:12:46.50
rooms out of on the street
00:12:46.53\00:12:48.21
bleeding in excruciating pain.
00:12:48.24\00:12:51.36
If any of you who know
us happened to be driving by
00:12:51.39\00:12:55.34
do not make me any herbal tea.
00:12:55.37\00:12:58.03
Get on your
smart phone call 911.
00:12:58.06\00:13:02.27
You heard this
before, why are you laughing?
00:13:02.30\00:13:04.53
And take me to the hospital
and if I've to have surgery
00:13:04.56\00:13:07.87
I don't what herbs, I
want the most powerful drugs
00:13:07.90\00:13:10.51
the hospital has to offer.
00:13:10.54\00:13:11.91
All right, I mean, you know,
'cause God gave us the brain
00:13:11.94\00:13:13.88
to make intelligence decisions.
00:13:13.91\00:13:15.56
But again we must me mind full
00:13:15.59\00:13:16.96
that they don't
really change or cure disease
00:13:16.99\00:13:21.26
but just change the
form and the location.
00:13:21.29\00:13:24.19
And then there are so
many more medications and drugs
00:13:24.22\00:13:26.66
you have to take
because of the side effects
00:13:26.69\00:13:28.15
of the actual drug itself.
00:13:28.18\00:13:29.96
What does God advocate
when it comes to herbs?
00:13:29.99\00:13:32.87
Well, when it comes to
herb and herbal medicine
00:13:32.90\00:13:34.53
the Word of God is clear
as far as herbal medicine
00:13:34.56\00:13:37.46
is concerned in God's Word.
00:13:37.49\00:13:38.99
You know, on the first day--
00:13:39.02\00:13:40.39
well, on the third
day of creation week
00:13:40.42\00:13:42.20
God created the earth
or the field, Genesis 1:11.
00:13:42.23\00:13:47.27
And then a psalmist
said in Psalm 104:14.
00:13:47.30\00:13:51.31
The Bible says,
"He causeth the grass
00:13:51.34\00:13:54.24
to grow for the cattle,
00:13:54.27\00:13:56.10
and the herb for
the service of man."
00:13:56.13\00:13:59.38
So herb is for our service.
00:13:59.41\00:14:01.53
So they're some
few examples here
00:14:01.56\00:14:04.46
because the Word
of God has lots to say
00:14:04.49\00:14:06.34
about herbal medicine,
00:14:06.37\00:14:07.74
it mentions about
aloe and cinnamon,
00:14:07.77\00:14:10.07
and frankincense and myrrh
00:14:10.10\00:14:13.61
but two of the
most well known herbs
00:14:13.64\00:14:15.72
that's mentioned
in the word of God.
00:14:15.75\00:14:17.23
The first one is
Psalms 51:7 and David says,
00:14:17.26\00:14:23.17
"purge me with" Hyssop.
00:14:23.20\00:14:25.64
That's right,
"Hyssop for I shall be clean,
00:14:25.67\00:14:28.95
I should be whiter than snow."
00:14:28.98\00:14:30.78
Hyssop is an herb used to
cleanse the earthly sanctuary.
00:14:30.81\00:14:36.75
It's known also to
cleanse the respiratory system,
00:14:36.78\00:14:40.88
cough and bronchitis. Hyssop.
00:14:40.91\00:14:43.74
So David knew
something about herbal medicine.
00:14:43.77\00:14:47.65
Now let's go to Jeremiah 51:8.
00:14:47.68\00:14:51.37
And Jeremiah talks about a balm,
00:14:51.40\00:14:54.12
I gave her a balm for her
pain and she shall be healed.
00:14:54.15\00:14:59.05
Hyssop is used 12
times in Word of God.
00:14:59.08\00:15:01.65
Balm is used five times.
00:15:01.68\00:15:04.46
Elsewhere in the Word of God
00:15:04.49\00:15:05.86
Jeremiah talks
about the balm of Gilead.
00:15:05.89\00:15:09.38
So there's
different types of balms.
00:15:09.41\00:15:10.78
There's balm from Egypt,
there's balm from Nazareth,
00:15:10.81\00:15:13.80
there's balm from Capernaum,
00:15:13.83\00:15:15.45
but the balm from
Gilead is the best balm
00:15:15.48\00:15:18.50
and that's used for now
today for female problems,
00:15:18.53\00:15:22.63
Melissa Lemon Balm is used
for anxiety, stress, tension.
00:15:22.66\00:15:28.89
So God's word is clearer for
as herbal medicine is concerned
00:15:28.92\00:15:32.37
and usually these different
herbs for medicinal properties.
00:15:32.40\00:15:35.21
And by the way, you
know, a lot of people say
00:15:35.24\00:15:37.36
well, you know, herbs
don't really work, I use drugs.
00:15:37.39\00:15:40.40
If you look at the word drug,
00:15:40.43\00:15:42.20
the word drug has its
roots in herbal healing.
00:15:42.23\00:15:47.45
For the word drug that
is name from the word droge
00:15:47.48\00:15:51.85
which means to dry.
00:15:51.88\00:15:54.11
The first step into an
herb into medicinal properties.
00:15:54.14\00:15:57.50
So the word drug that
is roots in herbal healing.
00:15:57.53\00:16:01.30
Drug, droge are like.
00:16:01.33\00:16:03.85
I remember, and as a
matter of fact there's sometimes
00:16:03.88\00:16:07.53
when I have lot
things on my plate. Oh, okay.
00:16:07.56\00:16:09.58
You know, what
I'm thinking about,
00:16:09.61\00:16:11.01
you know, I may
have one or two projects
00:16:11.04\00:16:12.51
going at the same time.
00:16:12.54\00:16:13.91
I'm gonna use kind of people
00:16:13.94\00:16:15.31
that unless I could
actually see the item
00:16:15.34\00:16:18.31
or the project
completely finished
00:16:18.34\00:16:20.81
I'm not gonna go to sleep,
00:16:20.84\00:16:22.21
you know, I mean,
I can get on the bed
00:16:22.24\00:16:23.61
and so think about and
then get a piece of paper
00:16:23.64\00:16:25.01
and write
something down and stuff.
00:16:25.04\00:16:26.41
And I remember when
we first got married
00:16:26.44\00:16:29.31
and I was telling
you about sometime
00:16:29.34\00:16:30.71
things are really in
my mind, crawl in my mind.
00:16:30.74\00:16:33.05
And you gave me
some valerian. Okay.
00:16:33.08\00:16:36.40
Now valerian is supposed
to help you go to sleep,
00:16:36.43\00:16:38.70
its just kind of
help to relax you,
00:16:38.73\00:16:40.24
you know, kind of empty
your mind of everything really.
00:16:40.27\00:16:43.25
And I said, well, how long
well this last kind of thing?
00:16:43.28\00:16:45.86
He said, well, it supposed
to have a four hour time frame.
00:16:45.89\00:16:49.09
I said, okay. So
he gave it to me.
00:16:49.12\00:16:52.94
Three hours and
fifty-seven minutes.
00:16:52.97\00:16:56.67
My eyes open
right up and I was like
00:16:56.70\00:16:58.77
okay, I couldn't
take it second time,
00:16:58.80\00:17:00.21
'cause there was the
morning in the next time. Yeah.
00:17:00.24\00:17:01.66
But it's kind of
amazing that that actually helps
00:17:01.69\00:17:04.60
to calm you down, valerian
00:17:04.63\00:17:06.00
and takes my mind
off everything going on.
00:17:06.03\00:17:07.83
And of course I take
the baby children's valerian
00:17:07.86\00:17:12.59
because I don't
really take the adult,
00:17:12.62\00:17:14.17
but I take the
children valerian,
00:17:14.20\00:17:15.63
it does the same
thing. Yes it does.
00:17:15.66\00:17:17.03
And so it's amazing
how these herbs do work
00:17:17.06\00:17:21.34
and their
rightful place, you know.
00:17:21.37\00:17:23.68
So I guess we have a
graphic on next one as well.
00:17:23.71\00:17:27.73
Yes, this are often
Allen White has something say
00:17:27.76\00:17:30.02
about herbal medicine
which is a profound statement.
00:17:30.05\00:17:32.16
Let's go to screen at
this time. Herbal Education.
00:17:32.19\00:17:35.93
Selected Messages book
2 page 294 she says here.
00:17:35.96\00:17:39.90
"The Lord has given simple
herbs that are beneficial,
00:17:39.93\00:17:44.18
and if every
family were educated,
00:17:44.21\00:17:49.33
much suffering
might be prevented."
00:17:49.36\00:17:53.26
If every family were educated.
00:17:53.29\00:17:56.50
Time doesn't not permit to
go list all the major herbs
00:17:56.53\00:17:59.87
and how they can be beneficial,
00:17:59.90\00:18:02.20
but again those
who may take herbs
00:18:02.23\00:18:04.33
make sure that your
healthcare professional be aware
00:18:04.36\00:18:06.49
that you are taken herbs,
00:18:06.52\00:18:07.95
so there will be
no counter indication
00:18:07.98\00:18:09.47
with any medication
that you've taken as well.
00:18:09.50\00:18:12.27
So your healthcare professional
must be aware of that
00:18:12.30\00:18:15.58
for safety or
precautions as well.
00:18:15.61\00:18:17.76
How can we
learn more about that,
00:18:17.79\00:18:19.16
how can we learn more
about herbal medicine?
00:18:19.19\00:18:20.61
Yeah, those who are interested--
good question, honey,
00:18:20.64\00:18:22.70
to learn more
about herbal medicine
00:18:22.73\00:18:24.83
there is a
company that have been--
00:18:24.86\00:18:26.33
we've been members are
for over I guess 15 years
00:18:26.36\00:18:29.73
and let's go to
screen at this time
00:18:29.76\00:18:31.13
and let's talk
about this company.
00:18:31.16\00:18:33.96
It's the American
Botanical Council,
00:18:33.99\00:18:36.91
this is probably the
number one organization
00:18:36.94\00:18:39.77
in the United States
non-private organization
00:18:39.80\00:18:41.81
dealing with herb and
herbal medicine in this country.
00:18:41.84\00:18:45.08
They have a herbal course
which also gave you CE credits.
00:18:45.11\00:18:49.11
They have a internship
for university students
00:18:49.14\00:18:52.74
and also have a physician's
guide to herbal medicine
00:18:52.77\00:18:55.37
and a lot more as well.
00:18:55.40\00:18:57.26
And so those who can
just do a Google search
00:18:57.29\00:18:59.68
go American Botanical Council
gives you all information
00:18:59.71\00:19:03.07
about the most
prolific herbs out there,
00:19:03.10\00:19:05.45
the most 20, 25
herbs that most people use
00:19:05.48\00:19:08.33
and also they are
beneficial effects
00:19:08.36\00:19:11.61
based on clinical studies,
00:19:11.64\00:19:13.04
for those who are
interested may want to check
00:19:13.07\00:19:15.41
on the American
Botanical Council.
00:19:15.44\00:19:17.73
You're talking about
checking on American Council.
00:19:17.76\00:19:19.87
We're also going
into the American kitchen,
00:19:19.90\00:19:22.25
because at this
point-- I know you're thinking
00:19:22.28\00:19:24.37
that we're not doing
any recipes, but we are.
00:19:24.40\00:19:26.34
We're gonna be doing
the Spicy Tofu Lettuce Wrap.
00:19:26.37\00:19:28.82
So you want to get
your paper and pencil
00:19:28.85\00:19:30.45
and you want to
meet us in the kitchen.
