We all know that one thing alone is not to blame, it is a combination of things. The first and most important element to blame is not enough fresh air, sunshine, and exercise. People need these three things in abundance everyday. And very few people that I know make it a habit to be outside every day for sustained good health. The second is food. How long has it been since you had a good home cooked meal made from ingredients that don't come in a can, or a hermetically sealed package, and contain spices that our grandmothers knew would protect us from a multitude of diseases? Every spice our mothers and grandmothers used when they made things from scratch, helps some kind of health problem. You have only to research each one, and you will find many health benefits listed. One that I have recently started using is tumeric. If you only incorporate one new spice into your recipes and add one new supplement to your regime for better health make it tumeric. It is good for just about anything that ails you. Arthritis of any kind is alleviated with this spice. It shrinks any kind of cancer tumors already in the body and keeps them from forming. If you have depression issues, this is a natural blues chaser. Inflamation from an injury past or present will disappear with the regular usage of this spice. Why take over the counter pain killers when you can use this inexpensive natural supplement to get rid of your pain? i encourage everyone out there to add tumeric to his or her diet. You will see a definite positive improvement in your health. I have. lilacwoman 51

unfortunately, there are those who can't afford to have a cooked meal for them. those are the ones who live on the streets. not only that. those who do rely on tin/can food, are the less fortunate people who don't have money to buy fresh to make a home cook meal. I am trying to hold back what I'm about to say, but I think a lot of it why we cant afford food and rely on cheap alternatives. Would be the Governments Cuts and corruption, business greed, banks fat cats living the high life with all the money they stole, retail prices sky high for profits, utilities prices, oil/gas/water and taxes, and tax avoidance by the rich. They all play a part as to why many people are ill, sick, dieing, getting poor, no money. many people cant afford a packet of potatoe chips or crisp we call them in uk. So asking when was the last time you had a home cooked meal? Maybe if we all looked at the wider picture, here. I think people would realise its our own fault the way we are conned, deceived, and lied to, by the Governments, business, and the rich. We let them treat us this way. I understand we don't have power, money or even brains to fight back, and stand up against them. So reason why we sick today is a lot to do with those things. Also, I should of said this first, But Sin plays a part in our sickness and illnesses. God will allow for us to be sick or ill, in order for us to trust him more and more and to look to him for healing and to build our faith up, to give him the glory he deserves.

You are so right. I can say that we do need to eat right and get outside for our health, we need sunshine. As some of us get older and no longer concerned with wearing a bathing suit and getting a tan, venturing outside to get sun, seemed less important. Wish I knew what I know now. Esp. if you live in the northern hemisphere, being outside isn't enough for some of us, you still might need vitamin D supplements to ward off many diseases.

Though we all know are government is shady and we have been lied too on a enormous scale . Almost all of us have to take accountability for the stupid things we have done to our body. Whether we smoked at some point, drank, did drugs, etc. etc. etc., we also have been armed with much information out there in the last 20 years or more of how to live a much healthier life. But most ignore it.

I have been on a simple diet for years. The rules are simple "If God created it and men didn't fool around with it, it is on the diet". When I study nutrition, all the pages and pages of instructions say the same thing. Fats that are created by much refining instead of pressing aren't good for us, leave flour alone and don't over process it, etc.

I found that if I feel sick I just need to clean myself spiritually. I put a prayer shawl over my head, it is a shawl made of wool that has the least processing possible without it smelling of sheep. I imagine it closing out the world and only God surrounds me. Christ cleanses me, and I listen. I fill myself with all of God. I come out feeling redone, renewed, and well.

Now, even science is saying this is the path to being well, it even overcomes what we are supposed to inherit with genes and DNA.

... genetic mutation ... due to environmental toxins and pathogens (and obviously heritable traits) as previously mentioned. Retroviruses using reverse transcription creating faulty DNA from their RNA. DNA information missing and/or mutated via frameshift mutations such as: none-sense, mis-sense, insertions and deletions etc ...

All this can happen with certain chemicals and toxins which are increasing today exponentially ...

In addition, the idea of genetic manipulation to create mutation on purpose to fulfil a food agenda to me is quite disturbing ie: jellyfish genes with potato, butterfly genes with tomato, pig genes and human genes with cheese etc ... I have seen videos of goat and spider genes spliced to create goats milk that takes a spider-web type quality which made my stomach turn... I don't think its right..., however I do believe in perfecting a gene ie: bringing it back to its ideal state ... and correcting mutations etc...

I believe a number of auto-immune conditions are caused by a combination/variation of these or in-part factors, cancers etc...

Its interesting to note, that 'sickle cell anemia' is a condition where only 'one nucleotide' in DNA transcodes for the wrong protein from the resulting RNA translating what should be one amino acid in the polypeptide chain, 'glutamic acid' into 'valine' instead, causing the red blood cell to become 'sickle shaped' rather than 'donut shaped' and cause circulation problems and oxygen depletion to parts of the body. This is a 'mis-sense' mutation in one of the polypeptides of haemoglobin...Just an example that is does not take much of a shift in mutation to cause devastating results.

No-one really knows the long term affects and damage playing around with mutation in the food chain in this manner will cause ... its very dangerous IMO...

I would love to create DNA corrective cassettes with correct sequences to be able to cause a recoding of the mutated DNA in such innocent individuals so that their DNA encodes correctly and the condition is ameliorated and even totally corrected...It is starting to happen in small steps, lets hope exponential leaps start to occur very soon... :D

Lilac, I'm curious -- do you think people today are more or less sick than our historical counterparts?

We live much longer. I would have died years ago, but a simple operation saved me. But we are not as strong while we live, because our food is adjusted so that it makes our bodies sort of limp along. Just look at breakfast! They ate oatmeal and cornmeal with the germ still in it. We eat cornflakes. Think how much better you feel when you eat regular food for breakfast.

I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, however some things just cannot be ignored, STOP drinking flouridated water. The same hard shell it puts on your teeth, it also does to your bones, glands (not good).

if yahweh blesses you, 'smiles' on you, you're well.
he actually tells (his children) this in torah. (all scripture)....

if there's any doubters, ask pastor josephson. and jethro kloss. and the diamonds. and adelle davis. and 100,000 licensed ama eww ess aye professional doctors (in the national health federation).

or , rather first, read genesis through revelation 3 times in the next 3 months - just read it. love it. don't worry about 'difficult parts' ; read right through them and ask God for His Wisdom and Truth. (no man can open anyone's mind; only God can.). the secrets no one else knows, even all your (anyone's) teachers, God will reveal exactly as he says and when he says (yes, it is written).

Torah is the first five books of the OT, not the whole Scriptures. You can't misappropriate Jewish terminology and use it to define something else.

look it up. (even though it probably won't help you).

you're ignorant, but i won't hold that against you.

your heart appears it is not right with God though.

better ask Him for help.

it's not a good idea to get on his bad side.

There is no bad side of God. And there's no reason to call people ignorant just because they disagree with you.

I have to think the oxygen depletion by 10% in the last 100 years is at least one of the causes. Most bad pathogens can't survive in an oxygen rich environment.

Where did you hear that one? Only reason I ask is because who was counting oxygen molecules 100 years ago? lol

Thank you atwhatcost for contesting my post. I had been parroting a statement made by a doctor and hadn't checked it out. Turns out that there is, and always has been, about 20.8% oxygen in our atmosphere. I am sorry to have posted the info without checking other sources first.

Isn't it just as bad to make a statement like this?

How do we know that this is true?

i.e. - if they cannot be sure about 100 years ago --- then they certainly cannot be sure about 1000 years ago - or 2000 - or 3000 - or... ;)
