That's right. Absolutely. 02:49 And also, before we go into this letter 02:52 H for herbal medicine, 02:54 we're also going to, 02:57 reveal to you several references. 02:59 One is gonna be... 03:01 The first one is gonna be God's Word. 03:02 Absolutely. 03:03 God's Word would be the standard of truth 03:05 for healthful living. 03:07 Healers is without exception. 03:09 So we're going to go to the Word of God. 03:11 So I advise you to have your Bibles ready 03:13 when you see Abundant Living come on. 03:15 And because God's Word is a standard of truth. 03:17 Absolutely. 03:19 And then number two would be also another inspired writer 03:22 Ellen White, you probably heard of her 03:24 by watching also not only Abundant Living 03:26 but Three Angels Broadcasting Network. 03:29 A prolific writer, 03:31 the most translated author in United States, 03:33 second in the world, 03:34 according to the Library of Congress. 03:37 And then the third reference, reference number three, 03:40 the third tier is gonna be clinical studies. 03:43 So we'll go through all these letters 03:45 and highlighting each of these references 03:48 as we go through this series in the next coming weeks. 03:51 So I like that because that means that, 03:53 you know, we try to hit it from each angle. 03:54 That's right. 03:56 All right, so we got the Bible. 03:57 God's Word. And then Ellen White. 04:00 That's right. Absolutely. And then we're gonna do... 04:02 Okay, now, when we get down that part about other stuff, 04:05 that's where you really gonna have to listen to it 04:07 because you'd be surprised at how much stuff 04:09 do we actually hear people say to us 04:11 when we're doing our programming 04:13 and or when they come and talk to us. 04:15 That's absolutely correct, Honey. 04:17 So yeah, 04:18 so we're going to walk through this with the H. 04:21 And I'd like to say before we're not going to cover 04:24 all the information, but we're gonna do this 04:27 in a webinar coming up. 04:29 And we'll give you our email address 04:30 at the end of the program where you can email us 04:33 and we'll put you on our email list. 04:36 And let you be aware of the webinars coming up 04:38 to get more in depth information 04:40 on each of these letters as we walk through this series. 04:43 Well, I guess the first thing 04:44 and you talked about we're gonna have 04:45 our Bibles handy, that is, 04:47 what does the Bible have to say about herbs? 04:50 Well, the Bible has a lot to say about herbs 04:53 and I'll tell you one thing, 04:55 I will say this that 04:57 the third week of creation. 04:59 All right, Genesis 1:11 05:01 where God created the grass and the herbs, 05:05 and it's interesting to note that 05:06 God had the herbs already in place 05:08 before man was ever created. 05:10 Right. 05:11 So in case man should get sick, the herbs were already here. 05:14 And I'll quote Psalm 114:4, 05:18 104 well, 05:20 somewhere around there. 05:21 Well, 104:14 I think that's what it is, 05:24 Psalm 104:14, the Bible says, 05:26 "He causes the grass to grow for the cattle 05:29 and the herb for the service of man." 05:33 So herbs are for our service. 05:35 But I want to go to a text 05:37 and this is really 05:40 something that it's going to be an eye opener for some people. 05:43 But, you know, when birthday comes around, 05:45 we tend to give people gifts for their birthday. 05:49 Yes. 05:50 Your birthday is coming up, mine is coming up, 05:52 and yours is coming up as you watch us as well, 05:54 so we like to give gifts. 05:56 Well, the birthday of Jesus Christ came about 06:01 and so there were some wise men 06:02 who came and they brought gifts. 06:06 Yes, they did. 06:08 One of the gifts, 06:09 some of the gifts that they brought to Jesus 06:12 were herbs. 06:13 So let's go to Matthew Chapter 2, 06:17 I believe. 06:19 And we're gonna look at this gift 06:20 Matthew Chapter 2 and I want to read verse 11. 06:23 Matthew 2:11 06:26 the Bible says, "And when they were come 06:28 into the house, the wise men, 06:30 they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, 06:33 and fell down and worshiped Him. 06:35 And when they had opened their treasures..." 06:37 The word treasure in Greek 06:39 is more or less a miniature casket, a box 06:42 that treasures there and open that up, 06:45 "And these are the gift that it had. 06:47 And they presented them unto Jesus him gift, 06:51 and three gifts 06:53 gold, frankincense, 06:56 and myrrh." 06:59 All right, so now, 07:00 two of the three gifts 07:04 were herbs, 07:07 myrrh, and frankincense. 07:09 Yes. 07:10 And when you look at myrrh, 07:12 we're gonna highlight myrrh 07:13 and then we're gonna go to some other things as well. 07:15 I want everybody turn 07:16 to Esther 2:12 07:20 because when talking about herbal medicine, 07:23 there's also essential oils 07:26 in with herbal medicine as well. 07:27 Okay. 07:29 And so here in Esther 2:12 07:33 the Bible says, "And now when every maid's turn was come 07:36 to go in to king Ahasuerus, 07:39 after that she had been twelve months, 07:42 according to the manner of the women, 07:44 for so were 07:45 the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, 07:50 six months with," 07:52 there's that word again, 07:54 "oil of myrrh, 07:56 and six months with sweet odors." 08:00 Today, we call that essential oils, 08:05 the aroma, lavender, cinnamon, 08:08 and so they were using the herbs 08:10 and also in this text, essential oils as well. 08:12 And myrrh today is known to have 08:16 very powerful healing properties 08:19 as far as antimicrobial. 08:22 We're talking about staph infections. 08:24 We're talking about E. 08:25 coli, and all kinds of things like candida, 08:29 the oil of myrrh 08:31 even for wound healing. 08:33 So therefore the Word of God is clear far 08:35 as using herbal medicine 08:37 and essential oils back then and we use them even now today. 08:41 So God's Word is clear about 08:43 the use of not only herbal medicine 08:46 but also the essential oils. 08:49 I think you have some essential oils as well. 08:51 I'm just sort of like you saw how, 08:52 when you mentioned... 08:54 Yeah, that definitely got little excited. 08:55 Okay, okay. 08:56 There are two of my favorite ones. 08:58 Okay. 08:59 Like one of them is eucalyptus, eucalyptus spearmint. 09:00 Okay. 09:02 Which I like when I get kind of a little rushed, stressed. 09:03 Okay. 09:05 I just put that on 09:06 and it just kind of calms me down. 09:08 And the other one is lavender, vanilla. 09:10 Oh, lavender and vanilla, okay. 09:13 Lavender is one of those soothing herbs 09:16 that actually put you to sleep. 09:17 It sure does. 09:19 It helps you to just calm down and it have very nice aroma. 09:21 There are lot of other ones I like, 09:23 but those are my two most favorite. 09:24 The two more favorite ones, all right, all right. 09:26 And also, we're using this book, 09:29 the Seven Laws of Healing. 09:30 This is our workbook that we use 09:32 in our webinar that will be coming up shortly, 09:35 so all this information in here. 09:37 We're not going to cover of course 09:39 everything in our workbook 09:40 on this one for H for herbal medicine, 09:43 but we just gonna give you some highlights 09:44 as far as herbal medicine concerned. 09:47 But we'll always want to go with God's Word first 09:49 to lay the foundation for herbal medicine. 09:53 H for herbal medicine. 09:54 H for herbal medicine. Yes. 09:56 Okay, all right. 09:57 So I guess the question you said, 09:59 you already talk about what herbal medicine was about 10:01 and that's, but what about drugs? 10:03 Aren't drugs just as effective? 10:06 I mean, you know, when we're used to drugs 10:08 and now we're coming in with this herbal medicine. 10:10 So we're going to use that... 10:11 Is that together by itself in place of 10:15 or just how are we going to do that? 10:17 Well, first of all we need to understand... 10:19 Let's define herbal medicine. 10:21 First herbs, really, 10:24 herbal medicine is actually any part of a plant. 10:28 Okay. 10:29 They can be a stem, a flower, 10:32 a leaf, the fruit, 10:35 a bark, a root, 10:38 all of those can be called, "Herbal medicine," 10:42 sometimes known as botanical medicine 10:46 because we're talking about true botany. 10:49 Okay. All right. 10:51 And so therefore, 10:52 now with herbal medicine and drugs 10:55 there's a powerful statement that one of the authors 10:59 that we're going to highlight throughout this series 11:02 is Ellen White. 11:03 She's a Christian author 11:04 and she's written many books on healthful living, 11:07 a lot of information on herbal medicine as well. 11:09 And she has a powerful statement for us 11:11 on herbal medicine 11:12 in relationship to drug therapy. 11:14 Let's go to screen at this time, 11:15 and this is what she says, 11:19 "The Lord has given herbs 11:22 used intelligently, 11:25 would have recovered many sick people 11:28 who have died 11:30 under drug medication." 11:35 The Selected Messages, Book 2, page 294. 11:40 So she's saying a lot of times 11:41 people may use drugs and that's fine, 11:44 but a lot of times, 11:46 it's more efficacious and we're gonna look 11:47 at some clinical studies about 11:49 how a lot of herbs are even more efficacious 11:53 and doesn't have the baleful side effects 11:56 as drugs have 11:58 and it's not poisonous to the system 12:00 if used properly and intelligently. 12:02 Well, I think the thing is also good to note also 12:05 and when you're studying and looking at the book 12:07 and that is that 12:08 when we talk about a lot of people want the drug 12:10 because of the instance. 12:11 Yeah. 12:12 You know, instantly that's what you're supposed to be doing, 12:14 every four hours, 12:15 every two hours, you're taking it. 12:16 But in this case, we talked about herbal medicine 12:18 is gonna take a longer time. 12:19 Yes, it is. 12:21 Okay, but more effective and no side effects. 12:23 Yeah. That's what I like. 12:25 I think that's why herbal medicine 12:26 is really booming 12:27 because they don't have the baleful side effects, 12:30 it's very cost effective as well, 12:32 and it's more mild on the system 12:34 because since we come from the earth, 12:36 the herbs come directly from earth, 12:38 is more synergistically more efficacious 12:40 than the medication that synthesize. 12:43 Okay, so here's my question. 12:44 And, of course, you know, 12:45 people want to ask the question, 12:47 so how can they actually learn more about herbs? 12:49 Well, there's one company out there, 12:50 it's called the American Botanical Council, 12:56 ABC, American Botanical Council. 13:00 I've been a member of that organization 13:01 for over 20 years. 13:03 It's the number one organization in United States 13:06 as far as herbal medicine is concerned. 13:09 They have a lot of information in monographs, and books, 13:12 and journals, and periodicals. 13:15 One journal called the HerbalGram 13:17 been out there for over 20 years, 13:19 peer reviewed medical studies on herbal medicine 13:22 on a professional level. 13:23 They even have for those in the medical profession. 13:26 They even have now a PDF, 13:29 Physicians' Desk Reference PDR, 13:32 PDF, I'm still on my computer, 13:34 a PDR Physicians' Desk Reference 13:38 on herbal medicine, 13:41 that's highly resourced as well. 13:42 So you can Google that as well. 13:44 But there's a lot of information 13:45 that people get from herbal medicine 13:47 on a professional level. 13:49 So it's all out and available to us, 13:50 and it's everywhere? 13:52 Yeah, now I know just a little bit 13:53 before we go into the kitchen 13:55 'cause I know that, I know you are now 13:58 at the time of this taping away, 13:59 a 12 year cancer survivor 14:01 and, of course, causes wants you to do 14:03 the lot of the medication, chemotherapy, radiation, 14:07 and hormone therapy, Herceptin, HER2 and... 14:11 While you were saying that, I could hear him clapping 14:13 because every time we do a program 14:15 or every time we're somewhere 14:16 and someone hears the next year... 14:18 Next year. 14:19 The experience that I'm in, you know, they're like, oh, 14:21 you're moving up there, 14:22 they all just start clapping real loud 14:24 and stuff so I can hear you clapping 14:25 and I can hear you clapping back 14:28 because I am praise the Lord, a 12 years survivor. 14:30 And Ambeka. 14:32 Okay, just calling out people's names, huh? 14:33 It's okay. Okay, it's okay. 14:34 I think they'll be all right. Yeah. 14:36 So because our, and we use our... 14:38 So immunotherapy is the thing 14:40 that we use with my wife along with other things too, 14:42 that we have probably mentioned throughout the series 14:44 of this program. 14:45 But one of the things we mentioned with you 14:47 is that we use Astragalus. 14:50 Yes. 14:51 And that Astragalus is used 14:53 in Chinese oncologist for many years. 14:56 Astragalus, it helps to boost the immune system. 15:00 I think after about six months on your lab report, 15:03 your white blood cell count actually doubled. 15:05 Yes, yes. 15:06 And so they're powerful, Astragalus, 15:08 liquid extracts, alcohol free. 15:10 And 'cause what Astragalus does, 15:13 folks, this is amazing. 15:16 Number one it increases the T cells. 15:19 Now T cells, manufacturing the thymus, 15:21 T for thymus and also stimulates 15:24 the natural killer cells. 15:27 And these natural killer cells are like natural bodyguards 15:31 with killer instinct. 15:33 They open up the cell of the cancer cell 15:36 is spewing some substance 15:38 and cause the cancer cells to commit suicide, 15:42 so Astragalus was one of the things that we did, 15:44 in addition to other things as well. 15:46 So herbal medicine is out there and very efficacious 15:49 without virtually no side effects. 15:50 It did its job. 15:52 But once again, when you talked about, 15:53 you know, in a Book of Genesis about God 15:55 and the creation of the herbs. 15:57 And so the herbs are there, and they're available to us. 15:59 Absolutely. 16:01 And unfortunately sometime 16:02 with the drug situation they actually are... 16:03 They actually have at the beginning, 16:05 it might have an herbal part in that actual drug itself. 16:07 Right. 16:09 Basically, the drug is the one that's the strongest, 16:11 so that's only one of the ones 16:15 because once we were diagnosed that you discovered 16:18 that we needed to actually go to work. 16:20 So remember now, I denied the chemo, 16:23 the radiation hormone treatment. 16:24 So that meant that I needed to do something. 16:26 I want you to know that I didn't just sit around 16:28 and did you do these 16:29 and just act like everything was okay. 16:31 You know, I did a lot of praying, 16:32 I did a lot of talking to the father 16:33 about what was going on 16:35 and then he began to give information 16:36 to both Curtis and myself as to where to go. 16:39 And through your research, we began using it. 16:41 And as I was going through my time 16:43 'cause each time every... 16:44 At first every three months, 16:46 I had to go in and have my blood checked 16:48 after my surgery. 16:50 And so with that in mind, 16:51 each time we would go back the blood work 16:53 was getting better and better and better. 16:55 So to God be the glory. 16:56 To God be the glory, great things He has done. 16:59 Yes. 17:00 We're not going to cover everything. 17:01 Again, this is just a summary of H for herbal medicine. 17:05 Like I said before, we do have a webinar 17:07 that we give you the email address, 17:09 we'll be going to the kitchen how you can go on this list 17:11 so you get more in depth information 17:13 about herbal medicine. 17:15 The top 15 herbs in detail everything like that. 17:18 Let's go into the kitchen, Honey, and what we got 17:20 for the restaurant, for the day. 17:21 Well, you know, we're going in the kitchen 17:23 and because of the fact that we talk about herbal medicine 17:24 all of our foods we're going to be doing 17:26 through this whole series is all going to be foods 17:27 that have herbs in them. 17:29 Oh, okay. 17:30 Rich in herbs, this is gonna be our spicy red beans 17:32 and yellow rice. 17:34 Get your paper and your pencil and meet us in the kitchen. |
