Hello! As I get older I have
more and more respect for law.
00:00:01.98\00:00:07.28
We have all sorts of laws
that involve the entire universe
00:00:07.31\00:00:12.39
many of those are made I
believe so that God would have
00:00:12.42\00:00:18.01
a framework that He could
make the human body so much
00:00:18.04\00:00:22.08
like Himself.
00:00:22.11\00:00:23.69
If you like a study of
law, you will enjoy the program
00:00:23.72\00:00:28.04
that we have for you
today, we will be talking about
00:00:28.07\00:00:30.45
the laws of health, so
we invite you to join us.
00:00:31.09\00:00:33.50
Welcome to Help
Yourself to Health
00:00:53.29\00:00:55.74
with Dr. Agatha Thrash
of Uchee Pines Institute
00:00:55.77\00:00:58.95
and now here is
your host Dr. Thrash.
00:00:58.99\00:01:02.23
Physiologic law is that
law that guards our health
00:01:02.26\00:01:10.44
that helps us to be
strong, it gives us efficiency
00:01:10.47\00:01:14.03
it makes the body function
in the way that it does.
00:01:14.06\00:01:16.99
Physiologic law is probably
the most fascinating study
00:01:17.02\00:01:22.95
I have ever made
in my entire life.
00:01:22.98\00:01:26.15
I love the study of health
it's a very compelling study
00:01:26.19\00:01:32.44
it's a study that
when people make it,
00:01:32.47\00:01:35.58
they understand the great
joy that those of us who spend
00:01:35.61\00:01:40.23
a lifetime in this kind of
work, this is the kind of thing
00:01:40.26\00:01:45.06
that we can
thoroughly put ourselves into.
00:01:45.09\00:01:48.45
In a study of law, the
physiologic law also helps us
00:01:48.48\00:01:53.03
to be of service to others.
00:01:53.06\00:01:54.67
As we learn about law,
we can make it so that we
00:01:54.70\00:01:59.34
teach others how
to be obedient to law,
00:01:59.37\00:02:02.34
we can find ways that will
make it easy for them to be
00:02:02.37\00:02:07.53
obedient to law,
such as finding recipes
00:02:07.56\00:02:11.25
that will make it so
that they can cook healthfully
00:02:11.28\00:02:13.42
and finding activities that
they can do out of doors that
00:02:13.45\00:02:17.32
will make them enjoy
being out of doors more,
00:02:17.35\00:02:20.33
and a variety of other things
that can just transform life
00:02:20.36\00:02:25.57
and make it so that
everyone enjoys physiologic law.
00:02:25.60\00:02:29.47
Now my colleague at Uchee Pines
Rhonda Clark is going to help me
00:02:29.50\00:02:35.68
talk with you today
about this thing of law.
00:02:35.71\00:02:38.32
Health laws, do you have
an opportunity at Uchee Pines
00:02:38.35\00:02:42.41
to practice the health laws?
00:02:42.44\00:02:43.69
- I have learned a great deal
about health laws at Uchee Pines
00:02:43.72\00:02:47.49
and am very lucky to have
opportunity there to put those
00:02:47.52\00:02:51.04
into practice, and to see
people who have worked with
00:02:51.07\00:02:53.76
health laws for more years
than I have, being role models
00:02:53.79\00:02:58.18
and encouraging to me
while I'm learning them.
00:02:58.21\00:03:01.61
- You've been in the
medical field for a long time,
00:03:01.64\00:03:04.41
about fifteen, twenty years.
00:03:04.44\00:03:07.46
And with that you have learned
quite a lot of standard medicine
00:03:07.49\00:03:12.40
and now you might say
that what you are doing
00:03:12.43\00:03:15.03
is lifestyle medicine,
so tell us something about
00:03:15.06\00:03:19.18
what you have
learned about laws of health.
00:03:19.21\00:03:22.58
- There have been some
surprises along the way,
00:03:22.61\00:03:25.22
I thought as a
registered nurse in my training
00:03:25.25\00:03:27.78
and my experience,
I knew about nutrition
00:03:27.81\00:03:30.60
and I have learned there
is much more to nutrition.
00:03:30.63\00:03:34.14
Simple things, laws of nutrition
that I was not familiar with
00:03:34.17\00:03:37.95
even simple things as fresh
air, sunlight, the importance
00:03:37.98\00:03:43.14
of regularly being involved
in those, are important for
00:03:43.17\00:03:46.70
health, these were new concepts
for me, and I have enjoyed
00:03:46.73\00:03:49.37
learning about them.
00:03:49.40\00:03:50.76
- And the laws of regularity,
the laws of cleanliness,
00:03:50.79\00:03:56.48
all those kinds of things,
also have powerful influence
00:03:56.51\00:04:00.70
on the health that we have.
00:04:00.73\00:04:02.49
What else would you
like to share with us?
00:04:02.52\00:04:05.88
- Well I wanted to share a
little information today on
00:04:05.91\00:04:09.71
a couple
particular laws of health.
00:04:09.74\00:04:13.20
The first one being the law
of regular exposure to sunlight.
00:04:13.23\00:04:18.22
Sunlight has many healing
properties, we think of it as
00:04:18.25\00:04:22.56
something that enhances
our mood, we love to see
00:04:22.59\00:04:25.50
the spring time come, and
summer, with the increased
00:04:25.53\00:04:28.96
sunlight and warmth.
00:04:28.99\00:04:30.51
We know that it helps
our body produce vitamin D,
00:04:30.54\00:04:33.55
an essential nutrient, and
we may know that sunlight has
00:04:33.58\00:04:38.94
properties, I was surprised
to learn of two particular
00:04:38.97\00:04:43.63
properties of sunlight
that benefit our health.
00:04:43.66\00:04:46.55
One has to do with the
production of vitamin D,
00:04:46.58\00:04:49.85
when sunlight strikes our skin
in it's production of vitamin D
00:04:49.88\00:04:56.02
it uses Cholesterol, as
that Cholesterol is utilized
00:04:56.05\00:05:01.66
then Cholesterol needs
to be taken from the blood
00:05:01.69\00:05:05.21
to replace that which has
been used in the production of
00:05:05.24\00:05:07.67
vitamin D, lowering our
blood cholesterol levels.
00:05:07.70\00:05:11.64
An interesting study looking
at cholesterol levels prior to
00:05:11.67\00:05:17.65
and after a two hour sunbath
showed that cholesterol levels
00:05:17.68\00:05:22.85
in that short period of time
were lowered on average 13%.
00:05:22.88\00:05:27.46
It's further believed that
as the blood cholesterol level
00:05:27.50\00:05:32.07
lowers, eventually the
atherosclerotic plaques
00:05:32.10\00:05:35.90
that have
accumulated in our arteries,
00:05:35.93\00:05:37.96
may be able to be
reduced through regular sunning
00:05:37.99\00:05:41.30
and regular utilization of
Cholesterol in the production of
00:05:41.33\00:05:44.74
vitamin D, I found that
to be quite interesting.
00:05:44.77\00:05:47.46
Also with sunlight, it
has a bactericidal activity
00:05:47.49\00:05:54.01
when exposed to our skin
it actually helps turn the
00:05:54.04\00:05:57.10
oils of our skin into a
substance that kills microbes
00:05:57.13\00:06:01.34
of all types.
00:06:01.37\00:06:02.34
When we hang our
laundry out on the line,
00:06:02.35\00:06:05.94
our laundry has the benefit
of the sunlight in killing
00:06:05.97\00:06:09.76
any bacteria
that might be present.
00:06:09.79\00:06:11.53
Some of you may have seen an
article in a women's magazine
00:06:11.56\00:06:15.99
I guess about two years
ago how washing machines were
00:06:16.02\00:06:19.16
found to have
high colonization's
00:06:19.19\00:06:21.37
of the bacteria E Coli
00:06:21.41\00:06:23.49
and this makes sense since
we launder our under garments
00:06:23.53\00:06:26.52
in the washing machine.
00:06:26.55\00:06:27.64
Hanging the clothes
then out on the line ensure
00:06:27.67\00:06:31.06
that the bacteria
are completely eliminated
00:06:31.09\00:06:33.57
after the Tsunami which
was around Christmas time
00:06:33.60\00:06:37.76
the end of 2004,
devastation, and for many people
00:06:37.79\00:06:42.35
the inability
to find pure water.
00:06:42.38\00:06:44.20
It was
interesting that one technique
00:06:44.23\00:06:47.58
for purifying water was to place
00:06:47.61\00:06:49.33
water in glass jars,
and expose them to sunlight
00:06:49.36\00:06:53.04
for several hours, this property
was enhanced if they were
00:06:53.07\00:06:56.48
set on corrugated tin.
00:06:56.51\00:06:58.86
The sunlight would kill
the pathogens in the water
00:06:58.89\00:07:03.23
so that it was
then safe to drink.
00:07:03.26\00:07:05.46
Sunlight also has a property
to stimulate our immune system
00:07:05.49\00:07:11.72
so that even internally
we have a better opportunity
00:07:11.75\00:07:15.81
to fight off
infections and illness.
00:07:15.84\00:07:18.47
It increases the
number of white blood cells
00:07:18.50\00:07:20.89
and increases their activity
level, so that infections
00:07:20.92\00:07:24.27
viruses, bacteria, these things
can be prevented or headed off.
00:07:24.30\00:07:28.07
So I found that to be quite
interesting about sunlight.
00:07:28.10\00:07:31.72
Today I wanted to share also
with you another property of
00:07:31.75\00:07:36.39
health Dr. Thrash that I was
so interested to learn about it,
00:07:36.42\00:07:40.36
and that is the beneficial
properties of fresh air,
00:07:40.39\00:07:44.21
especially fresh country air.
00:07:44.24\00:07:47.05
Our air, which I didn't realize
has negatively and positively
00:07:47.08\00:07:52.60
charged ions, and
they have an effect on us.
00:07:52.63\00:07:56.07
In the presence of positively
charged ions, which we find
00:07:56.10\00:08:00.76
indoors, especially
around electrical equipment,
00:08:00.79\00:08:04.25
such as televisions,
computer monitors, or around
00:08:04.28\00:08:08.27
air conditioning
units, home heating units,
00:08:08.30\00:08:11.72
these positively charged
air ions lead to head ache,
00:08:11.75\00:08:16.20
irritability, nasal
congestion, feelings of fatigue,
00:08:16.23\00:08:21.29
even depression, where
as outdoors in the fresh air
00:08:21.32\00:08:25.54
especially as we get
into fresh country air,
00:08:25.57\00:08:27.82
we find higher percentages
of negative air ions.
00:08:27.85\00:08:31.95
These have the exact opposite
effect, they are calming
00:08:31.98\00:08:35.83
and yet at the same
time help us feel energized,
00:08:35.86\00:08:38.52
they relieve nasal
congestion and allergy symptoms.
00:08:38.55\00:08:41.60
They relieve headache and
fatigue, and interestingly
00:08:41.63\00:08:46.27
they have quite a
fascinating effect on our bodies
00:08:46.30\00:08:50.71
physiologically.
00:08:50.74\00:08:52.11
Along our trachea and bronchi
the main tree of our respiratory
00:08:52.14\00:08:58.45
system we find cells that
are lined with little tiny hairs
00:08:58.48\00:09:03.08
called cilia, their job is to
help sweep debris that we inhale
00:09:03.11\00:09:08.83
out of the respiratory tract
and it's partner in doing this
00:09:08.86\00:09:12.88
is mucous.
00:09:12.91\00:09:14.57
The mucous traps things
that we have breathed in,
00:09:14.60\00:09:17.35
little dust particles, pollen,
and the cilia work together
00:09:17.38\00:09:20.99
as little brooms to
sweep this substance back out,
00:09:21.02\00:09:24.45
so we can cough it out or
swallow it, and eliminate it
00:09:24.48\00:09:27.48
from the respiratory tract.
00:09:27.51\00:09:28.81
Normally our cilia beat about
nine hundred times per minute
00:09:28.84\00:09:33.61
in the presence of higher
percentages of positive air ions
00:09:33.64\00:09:38.44
they only beat six
hundred times per minute.
00:09:38.47\00:09:41.49
Meaning that these substances
that we inhaled, are more slowly
00:09:41.52\00:09:45.80
eliminated, giving
greater exposure to the delicate
00:09:45.83\00:09:48.73
respiratory system.
00:09:48.76\00:09:49.89
Where as in the
presence of negative air ions,
00:09:49.93\00:09:52.92
the cilia would beat about
twelve hundred times per minute
00:09:52.95\00:09:56.03
and mucous flow
would increase just a bit,
00:09:56.06\00:09:58.79
helping keep that
respiratory tract clear.
00:09:58.82\00:10:02.12
This may be why
negative air ions are beneficial
00:10:02.15\00:10:05.14
to fighting allergy symptoms.
00:10:05.17\00:10:07.03
In Philadelphia, at
Northeastern Hospital
00:10:07.06\00:10:11.16
one very interesting
use of negative air ions,
00:10:11.19\00:10:14.51
is in treating burn patients,
as they receive a burn patient
00:10:14.54\00:10:18.85
at Northeastern, they
are treated three times a day
00:10:18.88\00:10:22.35
thirty minutes per
session, in a room that has
00:10:22.38\00:10:25.57
lot's of input of
negative air ions, from machines
00:10:25.60\00:10:30.40
they are ionizing machines.
00:10:30.43\00:10:32.25
They did a study in the relief
of pain, for burn patients
00:10:32.28\00:10:36.90
in this room and found
that when treated consistently
00:10:36.93\00:10:40.18
three times a day,
thirty minutes per episode,
00:10:40.33\00:10:42.48
narcotic need
decreased by an amazing 85%.
00:10:42.51\00:10:47.84
They regularly continued to
use negative air ion treatments
00:10:47.87\00:10:51.89
on their burn patients, seeing
this their chief of surgery
00:10:51.92\00:10:55.71
decided they needed to
try using negative air ions
00:10:55.74\00:10:58.65
in patients following surgery.
00:10:58.68\00:11:00.84
They followed for eight
months patients having surgery
00:11:00.87\00:11:05.93
137 patients agreed to
be a part of this study,
00:11:05.96\00:11:08.63
they only received two
treatments in the negative
00:11:08.66\00:11:12.51
air ion rooms, they would
go for thirty minutes on their
00:11:12.54\00:11:15.62
first day, post surgery,
then again on their second day
00:11:15.65\00:11:19.10
post surgery.
00:11:19.13\00:11:20.28
Seventy nine of the 137
patients needed hardly any
00:11:20.31\00:11:25.03
narcotics, some needed
none, and in the others, in fact
00:11:25.06\00:11:29.04
over all they had about a
50% decrease in narcotic use.
00:11:29.07\00:11:33.26
so it is fascinating
that God has put in fresh air,
00:11:33.29\00:11:36.95
something so
amazing and helpful to us.
00:11:36.98\00:11:39.57
If you were to stand
in downtown Los Angeles,
00:11:39.60\00:11:43.29
for example, or any busy
city, you would find in the air,
00:11:43.32\00:11:46.98
less than a hundred
little negative charged ions
00:11:47.01\00:11:51.96
per cubic centimeter, in
fresh country air you would
00:11:51.99\00:11:55.26
from 20 to 50 thousand,
but the best place to find high
00:11:55.29\00:12:01.41
concentrations of negative air
ions is around falling water.
00:12:01.44\00:12:05.16
At Yosemite Falls, for example,
they measured over 100,000
00:12:05.19\00:12:09.08
negative air ions per
cubic centimeter of air.
00:12:09.11\00:12:12.07
At the ocean, near moving
water, even in our shower,
00:12:12.10\00:12:16.24
we find negative air ions,
trees, are wonderful sources,
00:12:16.27\00:12:20.65
especially evergreen trees.
00:12:20.68\00:12:22.28
Keeping plants in the home
can help increase the number
00:12:22.31\00:12:25.77
of negative air ions.
00:12:25.80\00:12:27.24
So I encourage you to spend
time out doors in the fresh air,
00:12:27.27\00:12:30.88
and sun shine, and let
those wonderful laws of health
00:12:30.91\00:12:34.98
those wonderful
gifts of God benefit you.
00:12:35.18\00:12:37.74
- Very good, you know as I
was listening to your talking
00:12:37.77\00:12:41.78
about this I thought
what powerful effects this has
00:12:41.81\00:12:47.28
an anti-aging influence,
sunshine and good fresh air,
00:12:47.31\00:12:51.79
and so when we think
about aging, and everybody would
00:12:51.82\00:12:57.03
like to have anti-aging
factors in their lives,
00:12:57.06\00:13:00.71
here are some, in
fact all the laws of health
00:13:00.74\00:13:03.72
are things that we can
do that can help us resist
00:13:03.75\00:13:07.83
the inevitable and that is
the aging, we can slow down
00:13:07.86\00:13:12.45
that aging process.
00:13:12.48\00:13:14.37
We do that also by not smoking,
by not drinking alcoholic drinks
00:13:14.40\00:13:18.76
by eating a proper diet,
00:13:18.79\00:13:20.41
there are so many
things that we can do
00:13:20.45\00:13:22.70
and Dr. Donald Miller
has found quite a lot of laws
00:13:22.74\00:13:27.74
of health as he has
studied physiology and studied
00:13:27.77\00:13:30.97
Inspired Writings,
and Dr. Miller thank you
00:13:31.00\00:13:33.56
for joining us today, and
I would like you to tell us
00:13:33.59\00:13:36.66
about some of the
things you have found on the
00:13:36.69\00:13:39.17
Laws of Health.
00:13:39.20\00:13:40.17
- Ok! Normally when we
talk about laws of health
00:13:40.18\00:13:43.40
we somehow limit them
to eight laws of health
00:13:43.43\00:13:45.97
and they are good laws of
health, nutrition, exercise,
00:13:46.00\00:13:48.60
water, sunshine,
temperance, air, rest, and
00:13:48.63\00:13:51.65
trusting in the Lord.
00:13:51.68\00:13:52.76
I can't say anything against
these, these are vital laws
00:13:52.79\00:13:55.60
of health, but if we
stop at these eight laws,
00:13:55.63\00:13:58.75
we miss some very important
laws, but I always whenever
00:13:58.78\00:14:02.59
I teach lifestyle principles
at Uchee Pines, or anywhere
00:14:02.62\00:14:05.46
in the world I start off with
the two foundational principles,
00:14:05.49\00:14:09.93
If any of my
students are out there,
00:14:09.96\00:14:11.72
I want you to repeat them
with me because it will mean
00:14:11.75\00:14:14.35
that you
listened to me in class.
00:14:14.38\00:14:15.55
1. The life is in the blood,
what you eat becomes your blood
00:14:15.58\00:14:21.17
whatever you had for your
last meal, within a few hours
00:14:21.20\00:14:24.63
was already circulating
through your blood system.
00:14:24.66\00:14:27.38
If you had good food, it
follows that you probably
00:14:27.41\00:14:31.44
had good blood,
if you had junk food,
00:14:31.47\00:14:33.63
well I'll leave you to make
a conclusion what type of blood
00:14:33.66\00:14:36.55
that you had, if you've
had lots of sugar and fat,
00:14:36.58\00:14:39.24
you've got lots of sugar
and lots of fat into your
00:14:39.27\00:14:41.98
blood stream.
00:14:42.01\00:14:42.98
Now you say, well
sugar is a good thing,
00:14:42.99\00:14:44.36
yes sugar if it's in
its unrefined state releases
00:14:44.39\00:14:48.91
slowly into the blood stream,
therefore helping you with
00:14:48.94\00:14:51.69
your blood sugar situation,
so the life is in the blood.
00:14:51.72\00:14:56.10
Second law, foundational
law perfect health requires
00:14:56.14\00:14:59.49
perfect circulation, you can
have the best blood in the world
00:14:59.52\00:15:02.80
but if you are not
getting blood to an area,
00:15:02.83\00:15:05.19
you've got death on the way.
00:15:05.22\00:15:06.93
So what we need to do
is to make sure we have
00:15:06.96\00:15:08.78
good circulation, now with
those eight laws of health,
00:15:08.81\00:15:11.56
some of those help that
circulation and that good blood
00:15:11.59\00:15:14.58
nutrition is certainly part
of the good blood situation.
00:15:14.61\00:15:18.12
Exercise, certainly part of
the circulation part, water,
00:15:18.15\00:15:22.52
part of the circulation
part, sunshine relaxes the blood
00:15:22.55\00:15:26.11
vessels, allows blood to
flow freer, that's part of the
00:15:26.14\00:15:31.12
perfect circulation, so
we got lot's of other things
00:15:31.15\00:15:34.33
that we can do.
00:15:34.36\00:15:35.33
But now some other
laws that I have found,
00:15:35.34\00:15:37.57
in searching through the
literature and other things
00:15:37.60\00:15:40.03
that are extremely important
to us, one is something
00:15:40.06\00:15:43.08
as simple as cheerfulness,
the attitude that you have.
00:15:43.11\00:15:46.52
There was a study that came
out of Kansas State University,
00:15:46.55\00:15:49.67
saying that people who
are extroverts or who just
00:15:49.70\00:15:53.17
seem to be happy, stay
happy longer and are less sick.
00:15:53.20\00:15:57.58
My mother is one of these
people, I have never seen anyone
00:15:57.61\00:16:00.55
more positive than my
mother is, she is always happy
00:16:00.58\00:16:04.34
she is never sick, I
see other people who follow
00:16:04.37\00:16:08.90
maybe a better lifestyle
than my mother, I don't know
00:16:08.93\00:16:11.37
but they are
always gloomy people,
00:16:11.41\00:16:13.24
they seem to get sick more,
and so what we need to do is
00:16:13.27\00:16:16.52
practice an attitude of
gratitude and have happiness
00:16:16.55\00:16:20.31
as part of our lifestyles,
00:16:20.34\00:16:21.86
looking for
things to be happy about.
00:16:21.89\00:16:23.78
I find that people who
are depressed, seem to focus
00:16:23.82\00:16:26.98
on things that are depressing.
00:16:27.01\00:16:28.90
They've got a problem in
their life, they spend their
00:16:28.93\00:16:31.51
whole life
looking at the problem,
00:16:31.54\00:16:33.41
rather than looking
at the maybe solution,
00:16:33.44\00:16:35.87
or looking beyond the
problem to something else.
00:16:35.90\00:16:38.45
I meet people all around the
world that are having problems
00:16:38.48\00:16:41.88
with their emotions,
with their happiness,
00:16:41.91\00:16:46.16
with they are just gloomy
people, and I say well what's
00:16:46.19\00:16:49.32
the problem, they can
tell me ten things in a row,
00:16:49.35\00:16:51.99
and I'll say well tell
me something that is right
00:16:52.02\00:16:54.38
and if I can somehow get
them to focus on something
00:16:54.41\00:16:56.95
that's more positive.
00:16:56.98\00:16:58.78
It's strange that
their body tends to follow,
00:16:58.81\00:17:01.95
so we need to have a
positive outlook on life,
00:17:01.98\00:17:05.50
practice cheerfulness, another
one of the laws of health is
00:17:05.53\00:17:09.04
our dress, you see it's
very popular in the winter time
00:17:09.07\00:17:13.23
people wearing
these big down vests,
00:17:13.26\00:17:15.12
they've got maybe
a flannel shirt on,
00:17:15.15\00:17:17.30
but they have a four
inch thick down vest on with a
00:17:17.33\00:17:20.42
flannel shirt
underneath too, which means that
00:17:20.45\00:17:22.98
their trunk is warmer
than their extremities
00:17:23.01\00:17:26.39
which means the blood
will shunt to the trunk,
00:17:26.42\00:17:28.85
congesting the trunk,
which in itself is not a
00:17:28.88\00:17:32.00
healthful condition.
00:17:32.03\00:17:33.49
We need to have equal
circulation you see that's
00:17:33.53\00:17:36.03
going to cut down on
the perfect circulation.
00:17:36.06\00:17:38.55
If we have the same
number of layers on our arms
00:17:38.58\00:17:42.00
as we have on our trunk,
we're going to have better
00:17:42.03\00:17:44.71
circulation, so we need
to have good circulation.
00:17:44.74\00:17:47.37
If we have tight
bands on our bodies,
00:17:47.40\00:17:49.91
some people put these belts
on and wear those constricting
00:17:49.94\00:17:52.64
bands, that's cutting
down on good circulation.
00:17:52.67\00:17:55.33
We need to have
clothes that are healthful,
00:17:55.36\00:17:57.76
we need to cover our
bodies, summer and winter.
00:17:57.79\00:18:00.90
It's amazing, I go down to
Africa and in the summer time
00:18:00.93\00:18:05.12
when the sun is beating
down, the workers are out
00:18:05.15\00:18:07.68
in the fields with the long
sleeves on, and with something
00:18:07.71\00:18:10.53
on their heads.
00:18:10.56\00:18:11.54
You protect yourself
from the rays of the sun,
00:18:11.57\00:18:15.02
now the sun is good,
but certain times of the day
00:18:15.05\00:18:16.76
it's not the best, but also
you can become chilled without
00:18:16.79\00:18:19.50
even knowing it on
the hottest days, because
00:18:19.53\00:18:21.88
the evaporation of the water
we've got that latent heat of
00:18:21.91\00:18:24.91
evaporation, taking off lots
of heat, lowers the temperature
00:18:24.94\00:18:29.33
of the extremities,
trunk is heating up,
00:18:29.36\00:18:31.54
congestion in the trunk, so
we need to have right clothing.
00:18:31.57\00:18:35.90
Another one of the laws of
health that we normally don't
00:18:35.94\00:18:38.68
think about is, let me see
I've got some written down here.
00:18:38.71\00:18:42.98
Cleanliness, how about
cleanliness, washing your hands
00:18:43.01\00:18:47.65
keeping your hands...,
the best way to get sick
00:18:47.68\00:18:50.54
is to be walking around and
then sit there and get something
00:18:50.57\00:18:53.90
out of your eye, or pick
something out of your teeth
00:18:53.93\00:18:56.48
or get your hands that
aren't completely clean,
00:18:56.51\00:18:59.23
into one of the orifices
that can pass some of the
00:18:59.26\00:19:02.63
pathogens that you might
have touched, into the body.
00:19:02.66\00:19:06.60
Not just your own body
cleanliness, which is extremely
00:19:06.63\00:19:09.92
important, but the food that
you eat should be clean also.
00:19:09.95\00:19:13.69
You don't know what
touched it, or who touched it
00:19:13.72\00:19:16.06
or what landed on it before you
put that thing into your mouth,
00:19:16.09\00:19:19.23
and so we should make sure
that our food and our bodies
00:19:19.26\00:19:22.67
are in a clean state.
00:19:22.70\00:19:24.23
If we do not clean our
bodies or our clothing,
00:19:24.26\00:19:26.81
our body tends to re-absorb
the toxins that is constantly
00:19:26.84\00:19:32.35
throwing out.
00:19:32.38\00:19:33.35
We are basically all
born with three kidneys,
00:19:33.37\00:19:35.23
we have a left kidney, a right
kidney, and our skin, which
00:19:35.26\00:19:38.10
acts as an excretory
organ, we need to make sure
00:19:38.13\00:19:41.51
that we're cleaning this.
00:19:41.54\00:19:42.51
Now you may be in a place where
you don't have that much water.
00:19:42.52\00:19:47.00
I spend time in Moldova,
and I learned how to take a bath
00:19:47.03\00:19:51.23
in about two liters of
water, cold water, every morning
00:19:51.26\00:19:54.27
in the winter time,
you just learn how to do it
00:19:54.30\00:19:56.32
with a cloth, and you
give yourself a good scrubbing
00:19:56.35\00:19:59.46
all over the body, and
then you rinse off a little bit,
00:19:59.49\00:20:02.10
you can take quite a good
bath in just a couple of quarts,
00:20:02.13\00:20:06.04
or a couple of liters of water.
00:20:06.07\00:20:07.31
A clear conscience, I read a
book a few years ago by a doctor
00:20:07.34\00:20:14.52
it was called The Gift of Pain,
and he found one of those things
00:20:14.55\00:20:18.97
that made our pain more intense
and last longer, and we also
00:20:19.00\00:20:22.73
find that it makes
us sicker is having
00:20:22.76\00:20:24.96
a guilty conscience, so if
you have anything on your mind
00:20:24.99\00:20:28.73
that causes guilt, anything
on your mind that you might
00:20:28.76\00:20:31.24
have done some time in the past.
00:20:31.27\00:20:32.68
Clean out the garbage, if
you are carrying something
00:20:32.71\00:20:35.68
around, get rid of it.
00:20:35.71\00:20:37.41
Search your
heart, or ask the Lord...
00:20:37.44\00:20:39.51
I love that verse in the
Bible, "search me O Lord,
00:20:39.54\00:20:41.87
and know my heart, try
me and know my thoughts,
00:20:41.90\00:20:44.74
and see if there be any
wicked way in me, and then
00:20:44.77\00:20:47.63
lead me in the
way everlasting. "
00:20:47.66\00:20:49.70
I've done some
things in my past,
00:20:49.74\00:20:51.90
that I greatly regretted,
and I remember years after
00:20:51.93\00:20:56.23
the fact, the Lord would
bring something to my mind
00:20:56.26\00:20:59.02
and I would have to go back
years past, find that person
00:20:59.05\00:21:03.06
and make it right.
00:21:03.09\00:21:04.06
I remember, something
I didn't even do wrong,
00:21:04.07\00:21:07.39
but still, I've got this
very active guilty conscience,
00:21:07.42\00:21:10.44
even when I'm not guilty,
I was sitting in the back row
00:21:10.47\00:21:13.36
of this class and
next to me was my friend,
00:21:13.39\00:21:16.37
she was a cheerleader
named Janie, and as she would
00:21:16.40\00:21:18.93
take the test, she would lay
each paper on the window sill
00:21:18.96\00:21:23.77
which was fine, and
I'm struggling through this
00:21:23.80\00:21:25.74
was a very hard class for me
and this was a nice spring day
00:21:25.77\00:21:29.88
and the wind blew and one
of her papers went blowing out
00:21:29.91\00:21:32.64
the window, well I was
raised to be a gentleman,
00:21:32.67\00:21:35.31
and so I got up, went
up and told the teacher,
00:21:35.34\00:21:37.97
I didn't ask permission, I said
Janie dropped a paper out of
00:21:38.00\00:21:41.43
the second story window, so
I just went down the stairs,
00:21:41.46\00:21:43.92
thinking nothing of it, walked
out found the piece of paper
00:21:43.95\00:21:46.69
and the way I work, I saw it
laying there, I turned my head
00:21:46.72\00:21:50.73
I picked it up, and I
put it behind my back.
00:21:50.76\00:21:53.27
I didn't even want to catch
myself doing something wrong
00:21:53.30\00:21:55.37
half way up the stairs,
it hit me, the teacher thinks
00:21:55.40\00:21:59.72
this is a set up, the
teacher thinks I am cheating.
00:21:59.75\00:22:04.16
I went back in, gave the
test to Janie, she finished it,
00:22:04.19\00:22:07.65
I finished it, and that bothered
me then because I thought
00:22:07.68\00:22:12.05
that the teacher
thought I was cheating,
00:22:12.08\00:22:13.83
which I did not
want, and I did not do.
00:22:13.86\00:22:15.95
Years and years later, we're
talking about just a few years
00:22:15.98\00:22:19.47
I am now at Uchee Pines,
14 years in the Marine Corp
00:22:19.50\00:22:21.95
have now gone by,
almost 20 years at Uchee Pines
00:22:21.98\00:22:24.16
have gone by, I
finally found this professor,
00:22:24.19\00:22:27.67
she is now an old woman,
I write her a letter and say
00:22:27.70\00:22:31.35
Dr. Mease I want to
tell you remember that day,
00:22:31.38\00:22:35.87
and I did not
do, I did not cheat,
00:22:35.90\00:22:38.43
and all these different things.
00:22:38.46\00:22:39.59
I got the most
wonderful letter back,
00:22:39.62\00:22:42.45
I have been carrying this
guilt now for close to 30,
00:22:42.48\00:22:46.03
35 years, I get this
wonderful letter back from her,
00:22:46.06\00:22:49.72
she says, I never thought you
cheated, she said the only time
00:22:49.75\00:22:53.99
I was really upset with you
is when I knew that you could
00:22:54.02\00:22:56.24
do so much better than
you were doing, and you just
00:22:56.27\00:22:59.58
didn't seem to have the
mindset to get involved in what
00:22:59.61\00:23:04.57
you were supposed to be doing.
00:23:04.60\00:23:05.72
So when you have a guilty
conscience, believe me sometimes
00:23:05.75\00:23:10.51
it is not as bad as it
looks, go back to that person
00:23:10.54\00:23:14.07
even if they don't
receive your apology,
00:23:14.10\00:23:18.60
it's off of your case.
00:23:18.63\00:23:20.47
If you have done
something wrong to hurt somebody
00:23:20.50\00:23:23.20
or something, whatever
it is, you have to go back,
00:23:23.23\00:23:24.21
You have to do all that
you can to make it right.
00:23:24.24\00:23:28.75
Sometimes it is the Holy Spirit
keeping this desire on you
00:23:28.78\00:23:32.52
to make cases right, and
if you do not make them right
00:23:32.55\00:23:35.49
you will carry it
the rest of your days.
00:23:35.52\00:23:38.02
So my recommendation is
have a clear conscience.
00:23:38.05\00:23:42.01
One other law of
health, that we do talk about,
00:23:42.04\00:23:44.67
but we sometimes don't
talk about it in the paradigm of
00:23:44.70\00:23:48.69
the laws of
health, and that is herbs.
00:23:48.72\00:23:51.34
Herbs are extremely
important to us, we don't have
00:23:51.37\00:23:55.49
the Tree of Life anymore
but I believe that God has
00:23:55.52\00:23:58.19
given us the Tree of Life,
in tree, shrub, and flower,
00:23:58.22\00:24:02.49
the herbs that surround
us, we can find unbelievable
00:24:02.52\00:24:05.42
healing properties.
00:24:05.45\00:24:06.53
Wherever I go, in
whatever part of the world,
00:24:06.56\00:24:09.20
I try to learn some of the
indigenous herbs in that area
00:24:09.23\00:24:12.12
and find ways of
getting them into the people,
00:24:12.15\00:24:14.95
or on to the people,
because from those things,
00:24:14.98\00:24:18.30
I find real healing.
00:24:18.33\00:24:19.30
I find real
protection when I am in Africa,
00:24:19.31\00:24:21.87
every day I will eat
a couple of spoonfuls,
00:24:21.90\00:24:25.67
they say that you only have
to do it a couple times a week
00:24:25.70\00:24:28.96
but I eat a couple
spoonfuls of papaya seeds.
00:24:28.99\00:24:31.72
Very peppery tasting, but
it is a great anti-malarial
00:24:31.75\00:24:35.81
I don't want to get
Malaria, so I eat the seeds,
00:24:35.84\00:24:38.11
Nastirsham leaves
will do just as well,
00:24:38.14\00:24:40.41
because they have
exactly the same flavor,
00:24:40.44\00:24:42.42
the same properties.
00:24:42.45\00:24:43.74
So look around in
nature, for what God has placed
00:24:43.77\00:24:47.86
at our finger tips, at
our disposal, as common weeds.
00:24:47.89\00:24:51.45
Plantago that grows in
your yard is a great herb
00:24:51.48\00:24:55.03
so it grows proliferate,
and it is good for the stomach
00:24:55.06\00:24:57.16
and so God has, Dr. Thrash,
many things besides those
00:24:57.19\00:25:01.04
eight laws that we talk about,
I basically see fourteen laws
00:25:01.07\00:25:04.45
and probably more than that.
00:25:04.48\00:25:05.75
- Yes there are
probably many more than that,
00:25:05.78\00:25:07.96
I always like to hear you
talk about purity of life,
00:25:07.99\00:25:11.23
just living a pure life.
00:25:11.26\00:25:14.53
- I left that one off
but that is so important.
00:25:14.56\00:25:16.53
- Why don't you say a few
words about the purity of life.
00:25:16.56\00:25:18.93
- You know purity of life has
a lot to do with a lot of other
00:25:18.96\00:25:22.25
laws of health, but it's
what goes on between the ears
00:25:22.28\00:25:25.58
has such a profound effect
upon the health that we have.
00:25:25.61\00:25:29.46
Dress can affect
someone's purity of life,
00:25:29.49\00:25:32.70
think that many times
many women tempt each other
00:25:32.73\00:25:35.49
by the way they dressed.
00:25:35.52\00:25:36.75
We have to have pure
minds, we have to be thinking
00:25:36.78\00:25:40.22
the right things, and
quite frankly I labor for the
00:25:40.25\00:25:44.34
young people growing
up today in this world,
00:25:44.37\00:25:46.36
which seems to be so out of
control with the purity issue.
00:25:46.39\00:25:50.57
Purity seems to be
something that is puritanical,
00:25:50.60\00:25:52.66
you know back in
the Queen Victorian Age,
00:25:52.69\00:25:54.89
when we considered oh
that's Victorian or puritanical.
00:25:54.92\00:25:57.28
But by today's standards
they would be scandalized
00:25:57.31\00:26:01.29
by..., I don't know
everything has just changed.
00:26:01.32\00:26:04.36
We need purity of life.
00:26:04.39\00:26:06.41
- Yes we do and we
can encourage one another
00:26:06.44\00:26:08.95
in the upward path, by
being very careful about
00:26:08.98\00:26:12.71
the way that we interact
with others and just exactly
00:26:12.74\00:26:16.28
what we do in our own lives
00:26:16.31\00:26:17.73
that impacts the life of others.
00:26:17.76\00:26:20.10
Consider the matter of
dress from another standpoint
00:26:20.13\00:26:23.21
and that is that if we
chill the skin, the macrophages
00:26:23.25\00:26:28.76
or some of those
fighting soldiers that we have
00:26:28.79\00:26:32.51
that are constantly on duty
in the skin, if we chill those
00:26:32.54\00:26:37.30
substances in the skin
then we are going to reduce
00:26:37.33\00:26:41.37
the ability that the
skin has to protect itself,
00:26:41.40\00:26:44.04
and also to put into the blood
stream those healing proteins
00:26:44.07\00:26:49.29
that we so desperately
need to keep the immune system
00:26:49.32\00:26:52.32
functioning at it's best.
00:26:52.35\00:26:53.84
Now we spoke a
bit about cleanliness,
00:26:53.87\00:26:57.08
but I would like to
mention a couple of things about
00:26:57.11\00:26:59.34
orderliness.
00:26:59.38\00:27:00.46
Orderliness, helps the
brain also to be orderly
00:27:00.49\00:27:04.88
if we keep our premises clean,
sweet smelling and in order,
00:27:04.91\00:27:11.49
it does wonders for keeping
the brain orderly and making
00:27:11.52\00:27:16.26
the immune system have a
high functioning capacity
00:27:16.29\00:27:19.68
and making it so that
you can put out more work.
00:27:19.71\00:27:22.21
So I do recommend not
only cleanliness, but also
00:27:22.24\00:27:27.26
orderliness be
always thought of.
00:27:27.29\00:27:30.31
Now regularity in what you
do is another important thing
00:27:30.34\00:27:35.49
that you do the same
thing at the same time every day
00:27:35.52\00:27:38.70
making the work that we do on
this earth much more effective
00:27:38.73\00:27:45.13
in blessing others
and in Glorifying God,
00:27:45.16\00:27:47.98
and when we come to think of
it our major reason for being
00:27:48.01\00:27:51.97
is to Glorify God
and to Bless His people.
00:27:52.00\00:27:52.97
