Where is that? 00:01:17.95\00:01:19.75 And this is a coin phrased by Seventh-day Adventist church 00:01:19.78\00:01:23.48 where most people know about this 00:01:23.51\00:01:25.28 and other people too outside 00:01:25.31\00:01:26.48 the Seventh-day Adventist church community, 00:01:26.51\00:01:28.43 the eight natural remedies, so honey, let's talk about that 00:01:28.46\00:01:31.25 because we are going to be talking about 00:01:31.28\00:01:32.33 the eight natural remedies for the next few weeks or so. 00:01:32.36\00:01:35.06 What are they? 00:01:35.09\00:01:36.12 And how can we remember all eight, 00:01:36.15\00:01:38.80 is there acronym, help us out. 00:01:38.83\00:01:40.37 Yes, there is a acronym 00:01:40.40\00:01:41.44 and the acronym is called 'Newstart' 00:01:41.47\00:01:43.88 and with this acronym its easier to remember 00:01:43.91\00:01:46.48 what those eight natural laws, 00:01:46.51\00:01:48.44 some people call it principles, some people call it doctors. 00:01:48.47\00:01:51.32 'N' stands for nutrition, 'E' stands for Exercise, 00:01:51.35\00:01:55.98 'W' water, 'S' sunshine, 00:01:56.01\00:02:00.25 'T' temperance, 'A' air, 'R' rest, 00:02:00.28\00:02:05.83 and 'T' for trust in divine guidance. Amen. 00:02:05.86\00:02:10.25 Okay, I like that one, I like that one 00:02:10.28\00:02:11.68 that was coined by gentlemen I understand. 00:02:11.71\00:02:13.84 There was a one of the institute's Weimar Institute 00:02:13.87\00:02:16.88 which is a life style centre and he couldn't remember 00:02:16.91\00:02:19.43 how to put those eight laws together, 00:02:19.46\00:02:21.84 eight principles, so he kind of came with that coin 00:02:21.87\00:02:23.98 that word 'Newstart' and this is that someone told me that. 00:02:24.01\00:02:28.17 Yeah, that somewhat, I think 40 years ago 00:02:28.20\00:02:30.87 somewhere back in 70's. 00:02:30.90\00:02:32.27 But, I think the thing is so interesting 00:02:32.30\00:02:33.58 is that that trust in divine guidance 00:02:33.61\00:02:35.51 because you know unless you really have that trust in God, 00:02:35.54\00:02:38.61 unless you are really depending on Him 00:02:38.64\00:02:40.48 then really and truly all the other ones, 00:02:40.51\00:02:42.28 the nutrition, exercise, the water, 00:02:42.31\00:02:44.50 it just does not fit in like it needs to. 00:02:44.53\00:02:46.64 We need God's help. 00:02:46.67\00:02:48.10 Yeah, and sometime the acronym, we reverse 00:02:48.13\00:02:50.46 I think God's plan where God G is for godly trust, 00:02:50.49\00:02:54.95 so I put it again it's still the eight natural remedies 00:02:54.98\00:02:57.26 or the eight doctors, the eight laws, etc. 00:02:57.29\00:02:59.75 So but- you go ahead, honey. 00:02:59.78\00:03:02.37 We have been talking about 00:03:02.40\00:03:03.54 as we've been going to the series thus far, 00:03:03.57\00:03:05.24 we are talking about all different 00:03:05.27\00:03:06.30 kind of references out there. 00:03:06.33\00:03:07.36 You know, we talked about the scientists 00:03:07.39\00:03:08.67 they say certain things, you know, 00:03:08.70\00:03:10.24 we talked about the Bible say certain things 00:03:10.27\00:03:12.27 and we talked about peoples write books 00:03:12.30\00:03:13.98 and stuff and talk about things 00:03:14.01\00:03:15.04 when it comes to these eight natural remedies 00:03:15.07\00:03:16.99 and just specifically any one of these 00:03:17.02\00:03:18.96 one like may be nutrition or water amounts, 00:03:18.99\00:03:21.28 so whatever we are on like today. 00:03:21.31\00:03:23.56 So today we are going cash it on 00:03:23.59\00:03:24.71 I know once again our two major references 00:03:24.74\00:03:27.61 which is God and Ellen G. White 00:03:27.64\00:03:30.02 Okay, God's word and Ellen G. White. 00:03:30.05\00:03:31.69 And God's word is the standards of truth for healthy living, 00:03:31.72\00:03:35.41 so I invite you to the 'Abundant Living' program 00:03:35.44\00:03:38.33 for the next couple of weeks or so 00:03:38.36\00:03:40.21 to have your Bibles available 00:03:40.24\00:03:42.35 and also the second sources is Ellen G. White an author 00:03:42.38\00:03:46.13 as known by based on the Library of Congress, 00:03:46.16\00:03:49.48 in Washington, D.C., is translated, 00:03:49.51\00:03:52.40 most translated all through the United States, 00:03:52.43\00:03:53.97 second in the world 00:03:54.00\00:03:55.54 and has written many scores of health volume. 00:03:55.57\00:03:58.47 Those who follow her counsel and God's council and God's word 00:03:58.50\00:04:02.19 have also have a measurable degree of health in longevity. 00:04:02.22\00:04:06.59 So we are just going to share that with you 00:04:06.62\00:04:08.55 for the next few weeks as far as that is concerned. 00:04:08.58\00:04:10.98 Well, let's start of with God. 00:04:11.01\00:04:12.57 What does the Bible actually have to say about water? 00:04:12.60\00:04:15.52 Well the water, they had to say quite a bit about water. 00:04:15.55\00:04:18.45 Now think of particularly when it comes to healing, 00:04:18.48\00:04:22.65 you know Naaman the Leopard, 00:04:22.68\00:04:24.71 he was told to dip into the River Jordon seven times 00:04:24.74\00:04:28.13 and he was healed off his leprosy. 00:04:28.16\00:04:30.07 So, water was dealt with healing with that. 00:04:30.10\00:04:33.30 The Pool of Bethesda, 00:04:33.33\00:04:34.90 angel came down and troubled the water, 00:04:34.93\00:04:36.44 and whoever stepped in first 00:04:36.47\00:04:38.01 was healed at the Pool of Bethesda. 00:04:38.04\00:04:40.13 So healing was associated with water with that. 00:04:40.16\00:04:42.71 When Jesus healed the blind man, 00:04:42.74\00:04:44.85 he told the blind man now go wash in the Pool of Siloam, 00:04:44.88\00:04:49.79 healing was dealt with that. 00:04:49.82\00:04:51.36 Even in cleansing of sin water, 00:04:51.39\00:04:56.02 water baptism total immersion, 00:04:56.05\00:04:58.66 not sprinkly but total immersion. 00:04:58.69\00:05:00.30 So water is used for not only physical health 00:05:00.33\00:05:03.14 but also spiritual cleansing as well. 00:05:03.17\00:05:07.07 But, now to go back to the beginning, 00:05:07.10\00:05:08.87 let's look at the Word of God, 00:05:08.90\00:05:10.62 Genesis 2 and I'm gonna look at verse 10. 00:05:10.65\00:05:13.91 Genesis 2:10, because God did something 00:05:13.94\00:05:17.33 for our first parents that's very profound. 00:05:17.36\00:05:20.93 Genesis 2:10, the Bible say "And a river, get this now, 00:05:20.96\00:05:26.06 went out of Eden to water the garden 00:05:26.09\00:05:31.42 and no doubt our first parents 00:05:31.45\00:05:33.82 and from thence it was parted, 00:05:33.85\00:05:35.55 and became into four heads." 00:05:35.58\00:05:38.22 So God situated our first parent in the Garden of Eden 00:05:38.25\00:05:41.53 for their food and for their livelihood 00:05:41.56\00:05:43.55 but also it went out of the garden in river, 00:05:43.58\00:05:47.05 so the river started in Eden for them to have the water 00:05:47.08\00:05:51.03 as well for convenience to say so. 00:05:51.06\00:05:53.10 The Bible has a lot to say about water, 00:05:53.13\00:05:55.31 not only about healing 00:05:55.34\00:05:56.48 but also to give our first parents 00:05:56.51\00:05:59.26 the water that they need on daily basis. 00:05:59.29\00:06:01.60 Of course, I knew someone saying for instance, 00:06:01.63\00:06:04.56 why I might be thinking this. 00:06:04.59\00:06:06.41 Now you know I hear, I see a lot of things about 00:06:06.44\00:06:08.43 how much water, I hear how much water, 00:06:08.46\00:06:10.56 I have even try to drink 00:06:10.59\00:06:11.83 the amount of water I've heard in. 00:06:11.86\00:06:13.28 I've heard it from the size you are to all kind of stuff 00:06:13.31\00:06:17.33 and I am just totally confused, could you really help 00:06:17.36\00:06:20.99 to straight me out on how much water 00:06:21.02\00:06:23.90 do I really need to have on a daily basis? 00:06:23.93\00:06:26.83 Okay, well, now I need to straight you out 00:06:26.86\00:06:28.60 because you know, but you're speaking on behalf of other. 00:06:28.63\00:06:31.28 I want to make a statement, that's all. 00:06:31.31\00:06:32.70 Okay, all right. Yeah. 00:06:32.73\00:06:33.92 If we get so much information 00:06:33.95\00:06:36.12 as far as how much to drink based on your body weight, 00:06:36.15\00:06:38.92 probably the most popular one is based on your body weight. 00:06:38.95\00:06:42.11 You drink half of your body weight in ounces. 00:06:42.14\00:06:44.45 In other words, if you weigh 200 pounds, 00:06:44.48\00:06:47.83 half of that is 100. 00:06:47.86\00:06:49.64 If you drink 100 ounces which equals about 12 cups, 00:06:49.67\00:06:53.33 that is we believe more than twice 00:06:53.36\00:06:57.40 as much as what the body needs, 00:06:57.43\00:06:58.75 so we do not advocate based on your body weight. 00:06:58.78\00:07:03.00 Although, that's a very popular way most people believe 00:07:03.03\00:07:06.24 and how much water we should drink. 00:07:06.27\00:07:08.16 God has something to say about a mouth of water to drink. 00:07:08.19\00:07:13.58 Ezekiel 4:11, because this is very profound, 00:07:13.61\00:07:19.40 so we're gonna read this text, Ezekiel 4:11. 00:07:19.43\00:07:23.43 Now in verse 9, it tells, 00:07:23.46\00:07:25.34 God tells Ezekiel how to make bread 00:07:25.37\00:07:27.78 and in two verses later tells Ezekiel how much water to drink. 00:07:27.81\00:07:31.53 So listen to these words, Ezekiel 4:11 00:07:31.56\00:07:36.06 "Thou shalt drink also water by measure, 00:07:36.09\00:07:42.56 the sixth part of a hin, 00:07:42.59\00:07:48.80 from time to time shalt thou drink". 00:07:48.83\00:07:53.41 So God says, Ezekiel, 00:07:53.44\00:07:54.88 I told you how to make bread to verse a later now, 00:07:54.91\00:07:57.09 I want you to drink water but I want you to measure it. 00:07:57.12\00:08:00.75 Now, let's go to the screen 00:08:00.78\00:08:02.56 and let just do the math all right. 00:08:02.59\00:08:04.35 See what God told Ezekiel to do. 00:08:04.38\00:08:06.37 Now, a hin is about 3.87 qt 00:08:06.40\00:08:12.09 equals about 123 ounces. 00:08:12.12\00:08:14.46 Now hin is a liquid measure 00:08:14.49\00:08:15.77 so its about 123 ounces that's a hin. 00:08:15.80\00:08:18.46 But the Bible says not drink a hin, 00:08:18.49\00:08:20.68 God told Ezekiel to drink the six part of a hin. 00:08:20.71\00:08:25.61 So that's 1/6 of 123 ounces 00:08:25.64\00:08:29.93 and that equals to be 20 ounces. 00:08:29.96\00:08:32.77 Then God told Ezekiel to drink it from time to time, 00:08:32.80\00:08:38.17 two times, therefore two times 20 is 40 ounces. 00:08:38.20\00:08:44.82 40 ounces is five cups of water. 00:08:44.85\00:08:51.47 So, now keep in mind, keep in mind. 00:08:51.50\00:08:54.40 If we read that chapter, 00:08:54.43\00:08:57.04 God told Ezekiel to lay on his left side, 00:08:57.07\00:09:00.55 to lay on his right side, 00:09:00.58\00:09:02.95 so people who will just laying around, 00:09:02.98\00:09:06.32 lazy need at least five cups. 00:09:06.35\00:09:10.49 I mean, you know, based on scripture now. 00:09:10.52\00:09:13.55 Lay on the left and lay on the right. All right. 00:09:13.58\00:09:15.48 so at least that gives us idea 00:09:15.51\00:09:17.17 of basically what God told Ezekiel to drink the water 00:09:17.20\00:09:20.42 but he says, I want you to measure it 00:09:20.45\00:09:25.04 so that comes about five cups. 00:09:25.07\00:09:26.67 If you look at the clinical studies, 00:09:26.70\00:09:28.79 some clinical studies even suggest 00:09:28.82\00:09:30.27 about five and half cup too. 00:09:30.30\00:09:31.52 Now it can vary based on the activity 00:09:31.55\00:09:33.96 because they says terminology in medical term 00:09:33.99\00:09:37.84 its called water balance. 00:09:37.87\00:09:39.53 We lose x amount of water through our feces, 00:09:39.56\00:09:42.75 our urine, perspiration and breathing. 00:09:42.78\00:09:46.69 We do not gain that much when we eat food, 00:09:46.72\00:09:48.99 so we must drink x amount of water 00:09:49.02\00:09:51.03 to make up the difference and we call that water balance. 00:09:51.06\00:09:53.61 So if we are more active in high climate, 00:09:53.64\00:09:56.84 we probably need more because we lose more. 00:09:56.87\00:09:58.97 When at the time we're less active, 00:09:59.00\00:10:00.20 we need less, so but again give or take about five cups, 00:10:00.23\00:10:03.84 six cups, its around that area, 00:10:03.87\00:10:05.91 but basically your body weight 12 cups 00:10:05.94\00:10:08.08 is more than twice as much as most people need. 00:10:08.11\00:10:11.07 Well, you know, if we're thinking about 00:10:11.10\00:10:12.13 the plant based diet really and truly 00:10:12.16\00:10:14.11 because of the fact that your fruits 00:10:14.14\00:10:15.76 and your vegetable have an adequate amount of water 00:10:15.79\00:10:17.89 already in those fruits, that makes sense they didn't go 00:10:17.92\00:10:20.65 and add in that five and half cups of water. 00:10:20.68\00:10:23.13 And of course like you said before 00:10:23.16\00:10:24.19 if you are in a hot climate or in a summer time, 00:10:24.22\00:10:26.16 you might want to drink a little more, 00:10:26.19\00:10:27.94 but I know that you probably help a lot of people out 00:10:27.97\00:10:30.20 because one and number one things we go through 00:10:30.23\00:10:32.63 we actually do in our programs 00:10:32.66\00:10:33.86 in our community is there people like, 00:10:33.89\00:10:35.72 I hate water, I just don't want to drink it. 00:10:35.75\00:10:39.14 Well, surely if you say according to your body weight 00:10:39.17\00:10:41.45 but now you say just five and half cups, 00:10:41.48\00:10:42.92 they might like well, may be, may be I could try it. 00:10:42.95\00:10:45.48 Give and take, yeah, yeah. 00:10:45.51\00:10:46.87 But based on your body weight 00:10:46.90\00:10:48.04 is sometimes more than twice as much 00:10:48.07\00:10:50.91 than what the body needs. 00:10:50.94\00:10:52.09 Well, speaking of that then, 00:10:52.12\00:10:53.34 speaking that on the same line and that is dehydration. 00:10:53.37\00:10:56.91 How does the person know when you are dehydrated? 00:10:56.94\00:11:00.32 And what are some of the problem of dehydration? 00:11:00.35\00:11:02.09 Okay, there are many symptoms of dehydration. 00:11:02.12\00:11:04.01 When you are thirsty you're already way past dehydration. 00:11:04.04\00:11:07.12 Thirst is not really indication that you are first dehydrated 00:11:07.15\00:11:11.55 because normally thirst is later on. 00:11:11.58\00:11:14.05 But, sometimes irritability, cramping, nausea, headache, 00:11:14.08\00:11:21.68 dark gold urine, which has a strong ammonia odor. 00:11:21.71\00:11:27.51 These are signs of dehydration. 00:11:27.54\00:11:31.30 Wow, what are the dangers? 00:11:31.33\00:11:33.54 Well, we have a next graphic, 00:11:33.57\00:11:34.99 it talk about the detriments of dehydration. 00:11:35.02\00:11:37.82 Let's go to screen at this time, 00:11:37.85\00:11:40.55 Mild dehydration was about 00:11:40.58\00:11:42.97 one or two percent of also body weight, 00:11:43.00\00:11:45.00 that's mild produces negative alterations 00:11:45.03\00:11:48.04 such as concentration, alertness, fatigue 00:11:48.07\00:11:53.96 and short term memory, 00:11:53.99\00:11:57.69 just by being dehydrated 00:11:57.72\00:11:59.87 one or two percent of body weight loss. 00:11:59.90\00:12:03.28 So, again that can and then we know about water. 00:12:03.31\00:12:07.32 Water can also decrease our high blood pressure. 00:12:07.35\00:12:12.54 Water can help ease your stools 00:12:12.57\00:12:14.36 or less risk of hemorrhoids, less of headaches, 00:12:14.39\00:12:19.63 so all these things can help when we increase our water. 00:12:19.66\00:12:22.87 And not to mention our body needs to have that water, 00:12:22.90\00:12:24.95 so it can actually circulate through the body 00:12:24.98\00:12:26.38 and actually cover and support our actual body organs, 00:12:26.41\00:12:30.38 the lungs, the heart, the brain, 00:12:30.41\00:12:32.52 so the water is very, very important 00:12:32.55\00:12:34.59 and kind of a socking note, 00:12:34.62\00:12:36.45 when you were just talking about that, 00:12:36.48\00:12:37.61 I was just thinking about. 00:12:37.64\00:12:39.07 Sometime we do a program, 00:12:39.10\00:12:40.13 we talk about high blood pressure 00:12:40.16\00:12:41.83 and people are amazed because we talk about 00:12:41.86\00:12:43.46 when you don't have enough water, 00:12:43.49\00:12:44.78 then your blood actually becomes very, very thick 00:12:44.81\00:12:47.83 and our vessels are size of a straw, 00:12:47.86\00:12:50.37 a stirring straw, very small. 00:12:50.40\00:12:52.14 And so with that in mind that the blood is that thick 00:12:52.17\00:12:54.92 and you are trying to move it through the vessel, 00:12:54.95\00:12:56.39 it can't move through. 00:12:56.42\00:12:57.78 Just by drinking that water, 00:12:57.81\00:12:59.63 can help it to move through the organs 00:12:59.66\00:13:02.43 or to the vessels like it needs to do 00:13:02.46\00:13:04.29 and so people are surprised 00:13:04.32\00:13:05.88 and people who have headaches they are surprised, 00:13:05.91\00:13:07.82 that they just drink it out water that could actually help 00:13:07.85\00:13:10.31 the whole act. That's true honey. 00:13:10.34\00:13:12.56 And I like to explain just briefly the role of the kidneys. 00:13:12.59\00:13:16.20 Lets go to the screen at this time. 00:13:16.23\00:13:18.62 We have the kidneys here. 00:13:18.65\00:13:19.68 Now of course we call the kidneys 00:13:19.71\00:13:21.73 our internal washing machine, all right. 00:13:21.76\00:13:25.76 It filters the blood, it goes through the renal artery 00:13:25.79\00:13:28.44 and comes out of the renal vein 00:13:28.47\00:13:29.63 and it filters the blood 00:13:29.66\00:13:31.07 and the waste products goes out into of course the bladder. 00:13:31.10\00:13:34.26 And so if the kidneys are not working properly 00:13:34.29\00:13:36.84 because there is not adequate amount of water 00:13:36.87\00:13:40.09 therefore our bodies becomes dirty on inside as well. 00:13:40.12\00:13:43.68 So, our kidneys again is our internal washing machines. 00:13:43.71\00:13:48.80 So keep that in mind. 00:13:48.83\00:13:50.64 What about other references about water? 00:13:50.67\00:13:54.52 Okay, Ellen White, author, 00:13:54.55\00:13:56.95 one of the other main references 00:13:56.98\00:13:58.83 has a profound statement about water. 00:13:58.86\00:14:00.83 Let's go to screen at this time. This is what she says. 00:14:00.86\00:14:05.44 Solemn thought! "Thousands have died 00:14:05.47\00:14:09.30 for want of pure water who might have lived." 00:14:09.33\00:14:14.77 Thousands have died you know it reminds me of John 4, 00:14:14.80\00:14:19.66 where Jesus was talking to a lady from Samaria 00:14:19.69\00:14:22.91 and Jesus asked her for water. 00:14:22.94\00:14:26.07 And she said, well, you know, 00:14:26.10\00:14:27.18 we don't really talk with Jews, you know, 00:14:27.21\00:14:28.91 because I'm a Samaritan. 00:14:28.94\00:14:30.42 And Jesus say, if you knew who was asking you for water, 00:14:30.45\00:14:33.14 you ask me for living water. Jesus is known as living water. 00:14:33.17\00:14:37.51 Even though thousands have died for want of pure water. 00:14:37.54\00:14:41.81 Honey, millions would die 00:14:41.84\00:14:44.85 for want of the living water, Jesus Christ. 00:14:44.88\00:14:48.80 So let's keep things in a proper perspective. 00:14:48.83\00:14:50.95 Water is important but Jesus Christ, 00:14:50.98\00:14:53.30 the living water is even more important than that. 00:14:53.33\00:14:56.27 So I invite you to receive Jesus Christ, 00:14:56.30\00:14:58.97 the living water into your hearts. 00:14:59.00\00:15:01.79 What can you say to that one, 00:15:01.82\00:15:02.86 I mean that is the Cooder Graw, that is the top in a line. 00:15:02.89\00:15:07.51 When you look at something like about water, living water. 00:15:07.54\00:15:10.23 Jesus is the living water. 00:15:10.26\00:15:11.95 And open and willing to give it to anybody that asks. 00:15:11.98\00:15:14.59 Anybody. Anybody that ask it. 00:15:14.62\00:15:17.09 Well, I know talking about that living water. 00:15:17.12\00:15:19.82 I guess you are saying what about some living food too. 00:15:19.85\00:15:22.63 I knew, well, I know you're thinking, 00:15:22.66\00:15:24.08 are they going to go in that kitchen today? 00:15:24.11\00:15:26.04 Well, we had a lot of informational today 00:15:26.07\00:15:27.36 and even more we talked to you about. 00:15:27.39\00:15:28.92 But we are going into the kitchen 00:15:28.95\00:15:30.44 because we are actually going to fix 00:15:30.47\00:15:32.18 a red bean and rice burritos, 00:15:32.21\00:15:35.98 so get your paper and your pencil 00:15:36.01\00:15:37.76 and meet us in the kitchen. 00:15:37.79\00:15:39.49
