October 2010 Blog Posts (23)

Thank you. You touched my heart and gave me courage to take the next step.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write the blogs on faith. I have used the power of covenants before in solving a problem I couldn't solve on my own. It was the answer I needed. I have been working on changing my diet and solving some major health issues for the past 2 years. I have made miraculous progress, but I have not yet solved all the issues I need to. I hadn't thought about using the power of making covenants. Thank you so much for reminding me about this tool. It scares me,…

Sweeteners, Part 2

In this article, which is the second part of a two-part series on sweeteners, we will focus attention on traditional sweeteners that are a bit more natural and whole than the sweeteners discussed in Sweeteners, Part 1. They are not perfect and some of them may seem to be of little difference when compared to some sweeteners in part 1. However, each of the sugars discussed today contain a fuller compliment of vitamins and minerals to help balance their impact upon the human body than the… Continue

Sweeteners, Part 1

There have been so many comments and questions that have hit my inbox regarding sweeteners I thought I would deal with it now rather than later, as I was planning to do. Modern manmade processed and refined or artificial sweeteners include white granulated sugar, powdered sugar, raw sugar, unbleached sugar, cane sugar, beet sugar, brown sugar, high fructose corn syrup, agave, sucralose, cyclamate, asperrtame, and saccharin. Not one of these is actually good for you. They are each a result of a… Continue

Mustard Seed, Part 3-Summary

Today there are so many competing notions regarding weight loss and a healthful dietary lifestyle. There is only one true Master dietician. He is the ultimate chemist and is omniscient. He knows you and me perfectly and understands the detailed and complex workings of metabolism. He understands where the seed of health lies in your body and how to overcome any poor health conditions you face. Regardless of the current state of your body, he alone can diagnose and prescribe the perfect… Continue

Mustard Seed - Part 2

Faith is a principle of action and of power. In the first blog about the mustard seed and how the faith of the mustard seed pertains to dietary lifestyle success, we spoke of faith primarily as a principle of action. To enjoy such faith it is important to discover God's dietary lifestyle pattern for you and to act according to that pattern. What is faith according the principle of power and how does exercising such faith enable you more fully in dietary lifestyle… Continue

God's Dietary Pattern for Man - Mustard Seed

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed; which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: and yet it grows, and waxes into a great tree; that fowls of the air lodge in the branches of it. If ye have the faith of a mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain; remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; or unto this sycamine tree, be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea, and it should obey you; and nothing… Continue

God's Dietary Pattern for Man - Grains, Part 2

In grains part 1 we concluded by asking the following questions: What is a staff? What is its purpose? What is its most healthful relationship to herbs, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and animal-based foods? How is grain best prepared for our healthful use? If we prepare it correctly, how much of it should be prudently included in our diets and how much is too much? How is it commonly used today that causes problems? What are the most common problems associated with grain usage among animals… Continue

Can anyone help me understand the daniels challenge a little better?

Hello, I have some questions about the Daniels Challange. If anyone could answer them, I would be so grateful!

First: I can't figure out how many calories I am eatting. I seriously eat between 6-10 whole pieces of fruit, usually around 6 whole vegetables and 1lb or more leafy greans. It seems to be "cleaning me out" but I am loosing a lot of weight and dont really have a lot of weight to loose. In fact I've always been active and small (around 100 lbs) but not a healthy eater and after my…

God's Dietary Pattern for Man - Grains, Part 1

"All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life..."

When you throw a rock onto water, does it sink immediately? I tossed a big boulder into a pond the other day as my boys and I attempted to see who could create the biggest splashes. With all the authority in the world I can say that if you throw a rock onto water it will sink... Or will it? This morning I watched a father teaching his sons how to skip rocks. It was delightful! With…

God's Dietary Pattern for Man - Science

I do not want to leave the impression from any former blog in this series, God's Dietary Pattern for Man, that I believe the works of science to be of little value; quite the opposite is true. Most researchers earnestly seek truth and are rewarded for their efforts by discovering truths that help put the entire tapestry of any subject… Continue

God's Dietary Pattern for Man - Living Foods

Consider the last funeral you attended. Evident at any viewing of a loved one is the fact that when the spirit or human intelligence leaves the body, there is nothing left but a corpse that has already begun its return journey to the dust. He or she whom we dearly loved has gone elsewhere. Respectfully, this is important imagery that can help to understand the topic at hand—living foods. God assigns to all organized matter known as plants, intelligences and gives to them a pattern of operation… Continue

God's Dietary Pattern for Man - Prudence

In the previous post we considered scriptures that speak of the foods which God ordained for man. All wholesome foods (not processed and refined foods) both in and above the ground were ordained for our use to be used with prudence and thanksgiving. Animals were also ordained for our use, to be used sparingly, not with excess, and absent of extortion. It is even pleasing to God if we choose to use them only in times of winter, cold, or… Continue

Meal Tips

We are all busy people. We are on the run serving our families, church members, neighbors, and communities. We are planting and weeding gardens, mowing lawns, raking leaves, organizing and beautifying our homes, and serving in sometimes very heavy church callings. Yet, we want to eat healthy and feed our families high-nutrient dishes. Many of us have family members who aren’t…
