One of my favorite times of
day is gathering with the family
00:00:01.98\00:00:05.50
around the table for the meal,
it isn't just good for us to be
00:00:05.53\00:00:10.98
together socially, but it
is also good for the health.
00:00:11.01\00:00:14.15
We'll be talking about the
influence on nutrition on health
00:00:14.18\00:00:18.21
on this next program,
we hope you will join us.
00:00:18.24\00:00:21.26
Welcome to Help
Yourself To Health
00:00:40.76\00:00:43.18
with Dr. Agatha Thrash
of Uchee Pines Institute
00:00:43.21\00:00:46.43
and now here is
your host Dr. Thrash.
00:00:46.46\00:00:49.37
One of the ways that our
heavenly father has chosen
00:00:49.40\00:00:54.07
to make it so that we understand
His great love for us is in the
00:00:54.10\00:00:58.96
provision that He
made for us with our food.
00:00:58.99\00:01:01.52
I like to think of the fact
that way back sometime in the
00:01:01.55\00:01:05.68
eons of the great past our
Heavenly Father decided my child
00:01:05.71\00:01:12.64
Agatha Thrash is going to really
enjoy this kind of food or
00:01:12.67\00:01:18.22
that kind of food, and
He made it just like that.
00:01:18.25\00:01:20.67
I have an assistant today,
Don Miller, and he will be
00:01:20.70\00:01:24.63
helping me discuss this matter
of nutrition, and how food
00:01:24.66\00:01:30.11
helps us with being strong,
thinking well, having a good
00:01:30.14\00:01:36.44
humor, and being able to endure
for a life time, and so now
00:01:36.47\00:01:41.74
Don Miller will talk with us
about some things God has said
00:01:41.77\00:01:44.66
to us concerning
food, Don Miller!
00:01:44.69\00:01:47.46
- Normally when we buy a
new vehicle, we look in the
00:01:47.49\00:01:51.09
glove compartment somewhere
and there is going to be an
00:01:51.12\00:01:52.87
owner's manual that tells
us how to take care of that
00:01:52.90\00:01:55.13
vehicle, well our
Heavenly Father who is far more
00:01:55.16\00:01:58.32
meticulous in making us
than we are in making vehicles,
00:01:58.35\00:02:01.74
also gave us some good divine
plans on how we can present
00:02:01.77\00:02:05.57
our bodies as Paul said in
Romans, "A living sacrifice
00:02:05.60\00:02:09.45
holy, acceptable under Him
which is our reasonable service"
00:02:09.48\00:02:13.14
and when I hear things
like reasonable service it means
00:02:13.17\00:02:15.81
it's something I can grasp
myself, I don't need a PhD,
00:02:15.84\00:02:19.46
MD, THD, or a TV to figure it
out, I should be able to figure
00:02:19.49\00:02:24.67
it out from God's word alone.
00:02:24.70\00:02:26.36
He's given us some very,
very careful instruction,
00:02:26.39\00:02:30.16
I want to read to you from
Leviticus, the third chapter
00:02:30.19\00:02:34.38
verse 17, It says: It shall be
a perpetual statute, (that means
00:02:34.41\00:02:39.03
forever), a perpetual statute
for your generations throughout
00:02:39.07\00:02:43.06
all your dwellings, that
ye eat neither fat nor blood.
00:02:43.09\00:02:48.51
Hmmm! Now we hear a lot today
about lowering the fat in our
00:02:48.54\00:02:52.91
bodies and our diets, we
hear a lot about saturated fats
00:02:53.66\00:02:57.44
which is the fat that
it's talking about here,
00:02:57.47\00:02:59.23
the fats from animals.
00:02:59.26\00:03:00.82
Now granted during this
time meat was in man's diet,
00:03:00.85\00:03:05.52
but this was also given during
a time when God changed their
00:03:05.55\00:03:08.83
diet to a vegan diet, they are
eating manna out there in the
00:03:08.86\00:03:12.21
wilderness, so it says
eat neither fat nor blood,
00:03:12.24\00:03:16.11
we realize that fat has
a very deleterious effect
00:03:16.14\00:03:20.41
upon the arteries, upon the
heart, upon the blood pressure
00:03:20.44\00:03:23.65
upon all parts of the
body and blood has another
00:03:23.68\00:03:27.49
interesting effect on our body,
I'm going to read you another
00:03:27.52\00:03:30.82
verse over here in
Leviticus 17:11, it says:
00:03:30.85\00:03:34.27
For the life of the
flesh is in the blood:
00:03:34.30\00:03:38.87
the life is in the blood, now
the animal that's getting ready
00:03:38.90\00:03:43.92
for it's sacrificial experience
today at the butcher shop
00:03:43.95\00:03:48.42
is going through a
horrendous amount of stress,
00:03:48.45\00:03:51.07
all this stress, the hormones
that it is excreting into
00:03:51.10\00:03:54.57
it's blood stream is what
flavors the meat, and so we
00:03:54.60\00:03:57.82
sit down, or someone sits
down to this meat and we get
00:03:57.85\00:04:01.79
all those hormones within
ourselves and we wonder why we
00:04:01.82\00:04:04.51
get such a strange feeling
sometimes when we eat such food,
00:04:04.54\00:04:08.61
God says don't eat the
fat and don't eat the blood.
00:04:08.64\00:04:12.94
Now there is a two fold
reason for this, one you realize
00:04:12.97\00:04:16.48
that fat was not good
for us nor was blood, but two
00:04:16.51\00:04:20.02
if you take all the fat
and all the blood out of meat
00:04:20.05\00:04:23.65
it's pretty tasteless glob of
gray matter, and man would not
00:04:23.68\00:04:27.72
be compelled or tempted
to over eat on the product.
00:04:27.75\00:04:32.12
So here is this mass sometimes
they would boil it out or
00:04:32.15\00:04:35.83
they would squeeze it
out or they would soak it out
00:04:35.86\00:04:37.64
and cook it up and eat it,
it just provides some nutrients
00:04:37.67\00:04:41.86
that it does have in there,
which we can get far better
00:04:41.89\00:04:44.91
from fruits, vegetable,
whole grains, nuts, and seeds,
00:04:44.94\00:04:46.91
but God gave us this
designed diet way back then,
00:04:46.94\00:04:51.69
the original diet was the
edemic diet, which was basically
00:04:51.72\00:04:56.19
a fruitarian diet.
00:04:56.22\00:04:57.36
God knows best how to take
care of us, he has given us some
00:04:57.39\00:05:00.41
instruction, the life is in
the blood, and this whole idea
00:05:00.44\00:05:05.63
this whole paradigm of a human
body is in getting good blood
00:05:05.66\00:05:10.12
all the way through the
body, you cannot have good blood
00:05:10.15\00:05:12.68
if you are putting things into
the body that are not making
00:05:12.71\00:05:15.79
good blood, and basically
animal products do not make
00:05:15.82\00:05:19.51
good blood, so I like to read
this and I say ok God you said
00:05:19.54\00:05:23.22
no blood, no fat, easy, I just
leave off the animals and eat
00:05:23.25\00:05:27.90
the other foods you have given
us, which is going to be the
00:05:27.93\00:05:29.67
food that we are going to
have in heaven any way, so I say
00:05:29.70\00:05:31.58
let's get ready and start
eating it now, ok Dr. Thrash!
00:05:31.61\00:05:35.16
- Foods have a great deal
of variety of nutrients in them
00:05:35.20\00:05:40.42
when we think of something
like minerals, we often think of
00:05:40.45\00:05:44.48
such things as greens,
and whole grains, but actually
00:05:44.51\00:05:49.60
you can think of a large number
of foods and they all have
00:05:49.63\00:05:54.09
minerals in them, such
things as iron, zinc, copper,
00:05:54.12\00:05:58.55
magnesium, all of those are
minerals and they are present
00:05:58.58\00:06:01.83
in many of our
foods, if not most of them.
00:06:01.86\00:06:04.78
But then we also have
in addition to that we have
00:06:04.81\00:06:06.87
vitamins, now if you think
of vitamins, we think of fruits,
00:06:06.90\00:06:10.15
such as oranges and apples,
but we think of tomatoes too
00:06:10.18\00:06:14.85
which are high in vitamin C,
we think of bread which is high
00:06:14.88\00:06:18.29
in many of the B vitamins,
but breads and fruits and
00:06:18.32\00:06:23.42
vegetables also have a wide
variety of minerals in them.
00:06:23.45\00:06:27.21
But minerals and vitamins are
not the only nutrients in foods,
00:06:27.24\00:06:31.46
we also have fats from nuts
and seeds, beans, whole grains,
00:06:31.49\00:06:38.71
we get a variety of fats,
now fats and proteins often come
00:06:38.74\00:06:45.96
in the very same foods.
00:06:45.99\00:06:47.65
Foods such as beans and nuts,
but also in bread, popcorn,
00:06:47.68\00:06:54.25
very good source of protein,
and I'm very glad for that
00:06:54.28\00:06:58.37
because I like popcorn.
00:06:58.40\00:07:01.63
Popcorn is also high in
zinc, one of the minerals,
00:07:01.66\00:07:04.90
but we want to be very careful
that we don't overdo any kind
00:07:04.93\00:07:09.79
of mineral or vitamin by taking
a supplement, but that we get
00:07:09.82\00:07:14.23
that from our food as much
as we can unless we demonstrate
00:07:14.26\00:07:17.91
that we are low in
some kind of mineral.
00:07:17.94\00:07:20.64
Now we also have
proteins and carbohydrates,
00:07:20.67\00:07:24.70
high protein foods, and high
carbohydrate foods often come
00:07:24.73\00:07:28.64
together, grains are high
in both proteins as well as
00:07:28.67\00:07:33.41
carbohydrates, now you can see
by this very brief discussion
00:07:33.44\00:07:38.31
that our Heavenly Father
has placed almost all nutrients
00:07:38.34\00:07:43.44
in almost all foods.
00:07:43.47\00:07:45.34
It is true that certain things
like greens are high in minerals
00:07:45.37\00:07:48.60
certain things like citrus
fruits are high in vitamins
00:07:48.63\00:07:52.24
and certain things like
beans are high in protein, and
00:07:52.27\00:07:55.48
potatoes are high in
carbohydrates and olives are
00:07:55.51\00:07:58.36
high in fats, but a little bit
of fat is present in almost all
00:07:58.39\00:08:03.66
foods, tomatoes have a little
fat, cherries have a little fat,
00:08:03.69\00:08:07.54
not just olives
among the fruits.
00:08:07.58\00:08:10.11
So we can see that our Heavenly
Father intended for us to get
00:08:10.14\00:08:13.99
a wide variety of nutrients
from taking a wide variety
00:08:14.02\00:08:18.07
of foods, but we want to be
careful there too, and that is
00:08:18.10\00:08:21.86
that we don't overdo the variety
at one meal, it's better for us
00:08:21.89\00:08:28.33
to take a limited variety
than a great huge variety.
00:08:28.36\00:08:31.98
Now there are diseases
that can occur because of our
00:08:32.01\00:08:38.01
over use of various nutrients,
I'd like just to show you
00:08:38.04\00:08:41.83
some of the specimens that
come from my museum and here
00:08:41.86\00:08:45.51
I would like to show to
you a portion of stomach,
00:08:45.54\00:08:50.53
here you are seeing the stomach
lining, notice how the stomach
00:08:50.56\00:08:56.51
lining is sort of corrugated,
it has little knobs and valleys
00:08:56.54\00:09:02.88
and ridges in it, this kind
of thing is essential for the
00:09:02.91\00:09:09.05
proper digestion of the food
and if we iron out these little
00:09:09.08\00:09:12.92
rough areas on the lining of
the stomach, then we are going
00:09:12.95\00:09:18.80
to have a poorly
functioning stomach.
00:09:18.83\00:09:20.68
Now on the opposite side,
this is the side that will slip
00:09:20.71\00:09:26.10
against the interior of the
abdomen, that side is as you
00:09:26.13\00:09:31.59
can see, quite shiny and smooth,
it is as smooth as the interior
00:09:31.62\00:09:36.60
of your mouth.
00:09:36.63\00:09:37.81
Now I have here a portion of
small bowel, this small bowel
00:09:37.84\00:09:45.10
is a portion of ileum, the
ileum is where we do a large
00:09:45.14\00:09:51.15
part of our digestion and
assimilation, for this we have
00:09:51.18\00:09:57.12
quite of variety of very
powerful enzymes and other
00:09:57.15\00:10:02.18
chemicals that our great
divine designer made for us.
00:10:02.21\00:10:06.23
These chemicals are produced
by entering the small bowel
00:10:06.26\00:10:11.03
through this portion right
here, you can see there is a
00:10:11.06\00:10:13.60
good bit of fat there, and
if any body has fat anywhere
00:10:13.63\00:10:16.88
in the body, they are very
likely to have it right there,
00:10:16.91\00:10:20.02
blood vessels and lymphatics
and nerves go into the bowel
00:10:20.05\00:10:27.15
at that point right there.
00:10:27.18\00:10:28.68
Now I have another specimen
that you may have heard of
00:10:28.71\00:10:33.60
a great deal, this is the
appendix, now you see here
00:10:33.63\00:10:36.74
the exterior of the appendix,
notice how glistening and shiny
00:10:36.77\00:10:41.15
it is, you can see here
where the surgeon clamped it off
00:10:41.18\00:10:45.51
in order to remove it, and
here you can see the place where
00:10:45.54\00:10:50.68
I made a little cut in it
so that I could examine the
00:10:50.71\00:10:53.93
appendix, but it is
actually a normal appendix,
00:10:53.96\00:10:57.48
this one was not removed because
of being sick with appendicitis.
00:10:57.51\00:11:03.16
But while you are thinking
about appendicitis, let me show
00:11:03.19\00:11:07.44
you this appendix, very
different in appearance from
00:11:07.47\00:11:11.26
the other one, you will that
there is a good bit more fat,
00:11:11.29\00:11:14.30
this portion right here is fat
and this person was overweight
00:11:14.33\00:11:20.77
but the appendix would be about
the same size in a very fat
00:11:20.80\00:11:24.67
person and a very thin person
so this appendix is quite sick,
00:11:24.70\00:11:28.84
you will notice a little window
here where I removed a large
00:11:28.87\00:11:33.08
stone, and here is another
window where I left a stone
00:11:33.11\00:11:38.27
in place so that I
could show it to you.
00:11:38.30\00:11:41.06
This stone is made from
the kinds of foods that we eat,
00:11:41.09\00:11:46.41
this person who ate this kind
of foods did not eat the very
00:11:46.44\00:11:50.92
best diet, in fact the diet
that this person had was very
00:11:50.95\00:11:55.03
high in fats and sugars, and
around the world we find that
00:11:55.06\00:11:59.07
people who have a diet high
in fats and sugars are much more
00:11:59.10\00:12:03.28
likely to get appendicitis than
our people who eat a very nice
00:12:03.31\00:12:07.46
of fruits, vegetables,
whole grains, nuts and seeds.
00:12:07.49\00:12:11.93
Now we think rather easily about
diseases of the stomach like
00:12:11.96\00:12:17.68
peptic ulcers and gastritis
and diseases of the appendix
00:12:17.71\00:12:21.41
like appendicitis, and diseases
of the colon like polyps
00:12:21.44\00:12:26.68
and other things of that nature,
but we don't often think about
00:12:26.71\00:12:30.74
the gall bladder as being
a part of the digestive tract
00:12:30.77\00:12:34.19
but it is also greatly
influenced by the kind of food
00:12:34.22\00:12:37.53
that we eat, and I would like
to show you also from some of my
00:12:37.56\00:12:41.69
museum specimens,
these several specimens
00:12:41.72\00:12:46.77
of gall stones.
00:12:46.80\00:12:48.31
You will see that these
vary greatly in color and shape
00:12:48.35\00:12:54.13
and in size, some of these
are quite small as you can see
00:12:54.16\00:12:58.54
here, and some of them are
broken such as you can see here
00:12:58.57\00:13:02.61
and this can actually occur
inside the body, as well as
00:13:02.64\00:13:06.19
outside, these white ones
are quite rare and I'm very
00:13:06.22\00:13:10.40
fortunate to have them, some
people say that I collect rare
00:13:10.43\00:13:14.71
gems and that is true, you have
to have a special license to
00:13:14.74\00:13:18.55
collect these kinds of stones.
00:13:18.58\00:13:21.79
Now with this one, this one
you can see has a crystalline
00:13:21.82\00:13:25.98
interior structure and notice
that it is a little different
00:13:26.01\00:13:29.84
from one part of it to another,
that's because the chemistry
00:13:29.87\00:13:33.92
of the person's blood, changed
from one part of the life
00:13:33.95\00:13:39.95
to another part, so when the
gall bladder starting getting
00:13:39.98\00:13:42.94
that little tiny focus of fat
and maybe carbohydrate or sugar.
00:13:42.97\00:13:51.52
When the gallbladder started
making it's little stone it
00:13:51.55\00:13:56.65
had one kind of metabolism,
but as that stone had an
00:13:56.68\00:14:00.82
influence on the gallbladder,
then the persons total body
00:14:00.85\00:14:05.92
chemistry changed to some degree
and the person started now
00:14:05.95\00:14:10.16
excreting other things
than had been excreted before
00:14:10.19\00:14:13.52
in the bile, so the gallstones
had a different appearance
00:14:13.55\00:14:20.56
and chemical
structure at a later time.
00:14:20.59\00:14:23.12
Now one more specimen that
I have here, these are angular
00:14:23.15\00:14:29.76
as you can see, if one of
these starts down the bile duct,
00:14:29.79\00:14:35.30
the person who has this
will be very uncomfortable
00:14:35.33\00:14:39.73
because these little projections
will make life very miserable
00:14:39.76\00:14:46.24
for that person who
has this gallbladder.
00:14:46.27\00:14:48.77
The large one that I have
already shown you, that one
00:14:48.80\00:14:53.07
does not cause a lot of trouble
because it is going to sit
00:14:53.10\00:14:56.20
in the gallbladder and
not move, it is when the stone
00:14:56.23\00:14:59.64
moves down the duct that the
person begins to feel a lot of
00:14:59.67\00:15:04.28
difficulties, and so we need
to learn to eat in a proper way
00:15:04.31\00:15:08.52
so we won't get these very
uncomfortable and very expensive
00:15:08.55\00:15:12.89
diseases.
00:15:12.92\00:15:14.56
Now I have with me today in
the studio John Champen who is
00:15:14.59\00:15:18.99
going to talk with you about
some of the nice things about
00:15:19.02\00:15:21.49
nutrition that will make you
healthy and make you feel good.
00:15:21.52\00:15:24.37
John Champen!
00:15:24.40\00:15:25.37
- Thank you Dr. Thrash!
00:15:25.38\00:15:26.35
God has provided for us
nutrition bound up in a nice
00:15:26.36\00:15:31.69
little packages, it looks
good and it tastes good and it
00:15:31.72\00:15:35.69
provides exactly what we need.
00:15:35.72\00:15:38.70
Within these packages also
we find vitamins, there are two
00:15:38.73\00:15:42.38
classes of vitamins, the body
needs them and the processes
00:15:42.41\00:15:46.79
that are taking place cannot
be happening without these
00:15:46.82\00:15:51.17
vitamins, your
metabolism will not go forward
00:15:51.20\00:15:54.06
without these vitamins.
00:15:54.09\00:15:55.36
These two classes of vitamins
are water soluble vitamins
00:15:55.49\00:16:00.18
and fat soluble vitamins,
the water soluble vitamins are
00:16:00.21\00:16:06.10
vitamin C, the B-Complex
vitamins, and they do not
00:16:06.13\00:16:10.32
remain in our system very
long, there is a lot of leaching
00:16:10.35\00:16:13.25
of them and if there is excess
the body is able to get rid
00:16:13.28\00:16:17.09
of them although it
does require a little energy
00:16:17.12\00:16:18.89
for it to do that.
00:16:18.92\00:16:19.89
But the fat soluble vitamins
are carried by fat and put in
00:16:19.90\00:16:24.11
solution by fat and are stored
in the system, it is quite easy
00:16:24.14\00:16:30.09
then if there is to much taken
in, it is quite easy for these
00:16:30.12\00:16:34.40
vitamins to build up in the
system and produce a toxicity.
00:16:34.43\00:16:39.06
Vitamins have a wonderful way
of being associated with taste
00:16:39.09\00:16:48.00
when food looses it's color
and it's taste, it also seems to
00:16:48.03\00:16:54.42
loose it's vitamin content also.
00:16:54.45\00:16:57.48
The water soluble vitamins
loose quite a bit of their
00:16:57.51\00:17:02.55
potency under heat, they
can become very unstable, also
00:17:02.58\00:17:08.80
they are limited in their
time of which they can be kept.
00:17:08.83\00:17:17.52
The fat soluble vitamins,
vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E,
00:17:17.55\00:17:24.20
and vitamin K are needed at
any given time, vitamin K being
00:17:24.23\00:17:31.54
in the system to prevent
hemorrhaging so that there is a
00:17:31.57\00:17:34.78
good coagulation.
00:17:34.81\00:17:36.07
If we would receive the strength
that we need then we would
00:17:36.10\00:17:42.22
have these vitamins in
our system at all times,
00:17:42.25\00:17:46.04
God has arranged for
that, there are at times also
00:17:46.07\00:17:49.30
a problem with malabsorption
and these problems with
00:17:49.33\00:17:53.25
malabsorption would prevent
the body from absorbing the
00:17:53.28\00:17:57.02
vitamins that we need, whether
they are water soluble vitamins
00:17:57.05\00:18:02.63
or fat soluble vitamins, it
would prevent them from being
00:18:02.66\00:18:07.75
utilized by the body, in
this case we would wind up with
00:18:07.78\00:18:12.29
a deficiency even though
there are sufficient amount of
00:18:12.32\00:18:15.62
vitamins that are
being taken into the system.
00:18:15.66\00:18:17.91
Now God has arranged it so
that we need to eat continuously
00:18:17.94\00:18:21.97
some eat three times a
day, some more than that,
00:18:22.00\00:18:25.88
some less than that, so
that the vitamins that we need
00:18:25.91\00:18:29.11
we can always have, Dr. Thrash!
00:18:29.14\00:18:32.43
- Yes I am very happy that we
can look at these nice packages
00:18:32.46\00:18:37.10
that the Lord has given us,
and know that He has provided
00:18:37.13\00:18:40.11
for all our needs.
00:18:40.15\00:18:41.56
Not only are there vitamins
and minerals and fat soluble and
00:18:41.59\00:18:47.91
water soluble factors in
foods but there are also a wide
00:18:47.94\00:18:54.18
variety of what we call phyto-
chemicals that have a specific
00:18:54.21\00:18:58.88
effect in the body to
do some special thing.
00:18:58.91\00:19:03.04
Let me just mention some
of those, one of those is the
00:19:03.07\00:19:08.12
anti-cancer effect that one can
expect, now anti-cancer foods
00:19:08.15\00:19:15.14
are of a wide variety but
I will just mention a few:
00:19:15.17\00:19:18.17
the Brassica, the whole family
of the Brassica foods that would
00:19:18.20\00:19:21.99
be like cauliflower, and cabbage
and broccoli, brussel sprouts,
00:19:22.02\00:19:27.03
and all that whole category,
even some of those that we saw
00:19:27.06\00:19:31.23
on the platter like radishes,
those are very good for the
00:19:31.26\00:19:36.19
anti-cancer effect.
00:19:36.22\00:19:37.74
But there is also beta-carotene,
beta-carotene we find in
00:19:37.77\00:19:41.54
anything that is dark green
or bright yellow or orange,
00:19:41.57\00:19:45.09
then there is lycopene,
lycopene is a red photochemical,
00:19:45.12\00:19:51.10
we should not be afraid of
chemicals, because chemicals
00:19:51.14\00:19:55.74
make up our food, and the
lycopene has anti-cancer effects
00:19:55.77\00:20:00.64
but it also has anti-aging
effects and a number of other
00:20:00.67\00:20:04.08
very good effects in the body.
00:20:04.11\00:20:06.61
Then citrus fruits and soy
beans have also a anti-cancer
00:20:06.64\00:20:13.77
effect, now each of these
photochemical present in these
00:20:13.80\00:20:17.56
foods have a name and I
will not trouble you with these
00:20:17.59\00:20:20.75
chemical names because they
are a little difficult for you
00:20:20.78\00:20:23.62
to remember.
00:20:23.65\00:20:24.62
Now I would like to talk about
nerve foods, nerve foods are
00:20:24.63\00:20:29.96
such as myoinositol, now that
is a bit of a jaw breaker word
00:20:29.99\00:20:35.50
but it's present in cantaloupe,
and all citrus fruits,
00:20:35.53\00:20:38.89
especially grapefruit,
it's also present in peanuts and
00:20:38.92\00:20:43.84
all legumes.
00:20:43.87\00:20:45.19
I'm happy that the Lord packaged
these photochemicals in such
00:20:45.22\00:20:51.14
neat packages so that we
can enjoy taking in these
00:20:51.17\00:20:56.36
anti-cancer good nerve foods.
00:20:56.39\00:20:59.61
Now another one is hormone
containing foods, and there are
00:20:59.64\00:21:03.83
a wide variety of hormone
containing foods especially
00:21:03.86\00:21:06.50
such things as tomatoes
and potatoes and eggplant and
00:21:06.53\00:21:09.81
peppers, now you will notice
that those last four are all in
00:21:09.84\00:21:13.18
a special group
called the night shade group.
00:21:13.21\00:21:15.93
There are some people who
do not handle the night shades
00:21:15.96\00:21:18.96
very well, generally
speaking these may be those with
00:21:18.99\00:21:22.81
arthritis, but there are many
people who can tolerate these
00:21:22.84\00:21:27.36
and for them they are very good.
00:21:27.39\00:21:29.74
Then there are anti-inflammatory
foods, that means if you have
00:21:29.77\00:21:35.57
any kind of inflammation
such as inflammation in a joint
00:21:35.60\00:21:38.30
from arthritis of from an
accident, or from an injury,
00:21:38.33\00:21:41.33
then you can take these anti-
inflammatory foods, flax seed
00:21:41.36\00:21:45.49
is one of those and all
foods that contain quercetin.
00:21:45.52\00:21:50.47
Now if you have been to a health
food store and looked at some of
00:21:50.50\00:21:53.75
their packages of nutrient
supplements you are likely to
00:21:53.78\00:21:57.35
run across the word quercetin,
it is present in onion and all
00:21:57.38\00:22:05.87
members of the Lily
family, like chives and garlic,
00:22:05.90\00:22:11.00
and other members
of that same family.
00:22:11.03\00:22:12.91
Quercitin is also very
good for a variety of uses,
00:22:12.94\00:22:20.42
even such things as anti-cancer
uses, and good for the heart,
00:22:20.45\00:22:24.60
and good for the arteries.
00:22:24.63\00:22:25.94
Now another one is foods that
are good anti-pain foods, now
00:22:25.97\00:22:33.36
you might think oh, I want to
hear all of those, they are all
00:22:33.39\00:22:37.19
the foods that contain
salicylate's and you can get
00:22:37.22\00:22:39.72
a list of those foods, they
are widely distributed among our
00:22:39.75\00:22:46.21
foods and many of them do give
you some protection from pain.
00:22:46.24\00:22:50.90
But the major thing with the
control of pain is to make your
00:22:50.93\00:22:53.86
diet simple, make it so that
you are less likely to be over
00:22:53.89\00:22:59.32
burdened by the food that you
eat, don't make it heavy in such
00:22:59.35\00:23:03.75
things as fats and salts,
and sugar, those all tend to
00:23:03.78\00:23:09.12
intensify pain.
00:23:09.15\00:23:10.12
Now Don Miller is going to talk
with you about some of the diets
00:23:10.13\00:23:14.68
that we have had in antiquity.
00:23:14.71\00:23:16.75
- You know it is interesting
to think about the diets of
00:23:16.78\00:23:19.82
anti-quitarian, so those
people who lived for a long time
00:23:19.85\00:23:22.41
back a long time ago, we seem
to have it in our minds that
00:23:22.44\00:23:25.69
persons back in the middle
ages and before just lived for
00:23:25.72\00:23:30.52
30-35 years, that was the
average life span but let's
00:23:30.55\00:23:34.34
try to make a perspective here.
00:23:34.37\00:23:35.86
If a child died at one and
a man died at 70 their average
00:23:35.89\00:23:40.00
age was 35 and then that is
where we got average life spans
00:23:40.03\00:23:44.03
but basically if a child lived
into adulthood, about 20 years
00:23:44.06\00:23:49.17
old, they pretty much could be
assured of another 40-50 years
00:23:49.20\00:23:53.04
it was just surviving
those first few years which was
00:23:53.07\00:23:55.76
the problem.
00:23:55.79\00:23:56.76
But the diets of the people
who really lived for a long time
00:23:56.77\00:24:00.12
and had great feats of
valor and strength and wisdom
00:24:00.15\00:24:06.74
are people with very very simple
diets, let's think of a few
00:24:06.77\00:24:10.24
of those right now: Charles
Wesley, the great hymn writer,
00:24:10.27\00:24:14.54
he up until about age 14, he
said he lived on nothing much
00:24:14.57\00:24:18.93
more than bread
and not much of that.
00:24:18.96\00:24:20.84
After that he lived on a very
spare diet and drank nothing
00:24:20.87\00:24:24.34
but water, and when he was
80 years of age he said I feel
00:24:24.37\00:24:27.75
just as good now as I felt
when I was 20 years of age.
00:24:27.78\00:24:30.53
Let's look at someone like
King Cyrus, we can read about
00:24:30.56\00:24:33.42
him in the book of Daniel.
00:24:33.45\00:24:34.96
King Cyrus up until about his
14th year had nothing but water
00:24:34.99\00:24:39.94
to drink and cresses and brown
bread to eat, after his 14th or
00:24:39.97\00:24:45.29
15th year they added a little
bit of honey and a little bit of
00:24:45.32\00:24:48.56
raisins to his diet, and when
he was out there conquering the
00:24:48.59\00:24:52.18
world, because we realize
the kingdom of the Medes and the
00:24:52.21\00:24:55.11
Persians was a second grade
empire, his whole army lived
00:24:55.14\00:24:59.69
on brown bread and cresses,
and when they had a great
00:24:59.72\00:25:02.64
victory in a battle, to
celebrate they had cresses
00:25:02.68\00:25:05.41
and brown bread for
the celebration dinner.
00:25:05.44\00:25:07.73
The former states man
by the name of Cincinnatus,
00:25:07.76\00:25:11.86
my home town is Cincinnati,
that's where Cincinnati is named
00:25:11.89\00:25:16.15
after this man named
Cincinnatus, he lived on
00:25:16.27\00:25:19.24
basically turnips, turnips,
can you believe that, but he
00:25:19.95\00:25:24.81
lived for a long time,
and he was a great man.
00:25:24.85\00:25:26.52
But the one I like the best is
a man by the name of Old Parr,
00:25:26.56\00:25:30.10
Thomas Parr was born in 1483,
00:25:30.14\00:25:34.54
he was a farmer, lived out
there on a farm, ate a very
00:25:34.57\00:25:38.47
simple meal of course bread and
a few other products, probably
00:25:38.50\00:25:43.16
no more than 3 or 4 varieties
throughout the entire life span.
00:25:43.19\00:25:46.58
he married for the first time
at age 80, had two children,
00:25:46.61\00:25:52.52
when he was probably about
30 years later his wife died
00:25:52.55\00:25:56.50
and he married the second
time at about the age of 120,
00:25:56.54\00:26:00.23
she died, and finally the
Earl of the area where he worked
00:26:00.26\00:26:06.14
heard about him and took him
to London to see King Charles
00:26:06.17\00:26:10.18
and after about two
weeks in London he died.
00:26:10.21\00:26:13.57
Upon autopsy they found
that his intestinal tract was in
00:26:13.60\00:26:17.77
perfect order, it is just that
he died of the rich diet that
00:26:17.80\00:26:21.03
he was given for those
two weeks, he lived 152 years
00:26:21.06\00:26:24.91
over the reign of 10 Enlish
Monarchs, on a simple diet.
00:26:24.95\00:26:30.55
So I think there is
something about this simple diet
00:26:30.59\00:26:33.17
Dr. Thrash. -
Yes! And it's amazing,
00:26:33.20\00:26:35.19
isn't it true that when he
got to London he started eating
00:26:35.22\00:26:41.01
the diet that
they ate down there?
00:26:41.04\00:26:43.15
- Ate off the King's trough.
- Yes! That was what shortened
00:26:43.18\00:26:47.37
his life, I think he died
in just a very short time after
00:26:47.40\00:26:50.76
he had gotten down to London.
00:26:50.79\00:26:52.82
Now we have in the various
ages of time Adam and Eve was
00:26:52.85\00:27:01.87
first and they ate all
raw foods, that must have been
00:27:01.90\00:27:06.07
a nice time in earth's history.
00:27:06.10\00:27:07.52
Then the vegetables were added
at the time of the flood because
00:27:07.55\00:27:10.54
we needed them, and then finally
because food was so scarce
00:27:10.57\00:27:15.18
right after the flood the
animal products were added
00:27:15.21\00:27:19.49
and that I think shortened
our lives a great deal.
00:27:19.52\00:27:22.83
But it was not our Heavenly
Father's intention that we would
00:27:22.86\00:27:26.63
have the difficulty with
our diet that would shorten our
00:27:26.66\00:27:31.29
lives, such as the use of
greater variety than Adam and
00:27:31.32\00:27:37.07
Eve had in the garden of Eden,
and it is through the things
00:27:37.10\00:27:41.75
of nature and the deepest
and tenderest earthly ties that
00:27:41.78\00:27:45.71
human hearts can know,
that God has decided to reveal
00:27:45.74\00:27:50.50
His love to us,
and this is nutrition.
