I never get a flu shot. Nor do I use OTC products if illness should visit me. I'm about in the age group of the real push to get all the annual shots before winter. They may call it flu season or pneumonia season or even strep throat season, but I simply call it winter and with all the shots now promoted and pushed, I think it's only logical that more illness will be going around! Father warned me, many would be ill, this winter.
I got an early taste of illness this year, and although it was my own carelessness, I gained valuable information. More folks are coming to visit the homestead, Tabernacle, and Bethesda, now, and I was busier than I've ever been, while still recovering . . . Part of my recovery plan was pool therapy, which has been wonderful, but as it's been getting cooler, I took a chill early in the fall. The pool water was getting cooler and I was still trying to get in 2 to 3 times a day, but night swims just didn't work and sitting out on the deck in the cool night air resulted in awakening in the night with a serious sore throat, horrible cough, and low grade fever. I took it as a challenge. "They" say there is no cure for the common cold and it must run it's course a week to 10 days. I can't say for sure, this was the common cold, but I can tell you what I did and it was gone in less than 72 hours!
Since the elderberries were so abundant this year, it would only follow that the juice would be needed. Elderberry juice is a wonderful immune builder! So, I hit that the first night and continued 4 times a day for the three days. I also have a wonderful Essential and Extract blend that I used as needed. I believe the first 24 hour period was probably as many as 6 times . . . I never touched a Tylenol or ibuprofen for the fever. Fevers are your body's way of killing germs. Granted with children, fevers must be monitored, but the fever, itself, is not the problem. I also have an old time honored remedy my Granny used to make. In a cup, 1 tsp. Lemon juice, 1 TBS Honey, 1 oz. boiling water, blend, then add 1 jigger of Whiskey. The first 24 hour period, I took three of these, then twice a day for the next two days, and that was it!
I will tell you, the moment I took the first Tablespoon of Elderberry juice, I felt it hit the site of infection in the back of my throat. By the second Tablespoon, I knew whatever was attacking me, was now under attack! I followed with Granny's formula which burned all the way down . . . I could literally feel the illness being attacked by natural remedies.
The symptoms began in the wee hours of early Monday morning, and by Monday evening, I had all three remedies at hand. Tuesday was a day dedicated to recovery . . . Wednesday, I took care of business, pretty much as usual, and by Thursday, I was completely symptom free!
Many believe this winter is going to be somewhat harsh and with that may come illness. Get some elderberry juice and have it on hand!

Blood on Our Hands
There has been much in the news about Planned Parenthood allegedly profiting from fetal tissue. Many comments and vivid images of "blood on our hands." In the article linked below, there is a short video in which the representative repeatedly says, there is no profit involved.
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/07/planned-parenthood-president-people-behind-harvesting-videos-are-bombers-and-murderers-video/
What caught my ear was the fact, just as we'd reported before, that this tissue is going to medical research. The representative then proceeded to declare just how many people would benefit from this so called 'selfless act to help others,' in this fetal tissue donation. I'm not going to even dignify any of her repeated claims by addressing her scripted rhetoric, but rather raise this question.
Now that we know, fetal tissue is used in medical research for manufacturing pharmaceuticals, studying disease, if we benefit from what is manufactured or discovered, is the blood on our hands as well?

Keeping Kosher
How much heart disease and circulatory issues could be avoided by a kosher diet? Swine was not considered food in Y'hshuwah's day, nor did Peter's vision cause it to be declared food . . . yet, I digress.
Pork went to the table purely based on the love of money. One sow can have two litters of pigs a year and a litter is usually at least a dozen. Pigs grow fast, creating a diet boiled down to the profit margin. I use this example, even before offering Scripture. Bacon is all the rage right now, with all sorts of bacon flavored items hitting the shelves. The pork used to make bacon is not what makes it taste good, it's all the flavoring folks want. Without smoke, maple and brown sugar; bacon is just sliced fat.
American pork is a result of fast income and quick profit . . . nothing more and certainly nothing less. Sows give birth to a litter anywhere between 8 and 16. Each piglet grows rapidly to butcher size in 6 months or less, weighing nearly 200 pounds in less than six months. Chickens, even with DNA tampering don't do much better than 3 pounds in 8 to 12 weeks.
As for real meat that is kosher, cows produce 1 calf that takes 18 to 24 months to butcher weight. Goats often kid twins or even triplets, but range from 9 to 18 months for meat production at far less than 200 pounds . . . far less. Pork is a money maker, and that is all . . . well that and Scripturally, the receptacle for demons cast out . . .
Keeping a kosher diet is not legalism, it is wisdom, it is health!

Discernment in Health
One of my granddaughters came into this world with a special health issue, and recently incurred another one. There were complications when she was born, and ultimately we were told she needed a gastric tube for eating. I knew better and wasn't long until I heard YHWH and was given a vision . . . At the time I was mocked, and now the story has been retold to take the glory from Abba, but I stand on His Truth and it hasn't changed. In this recent situation, the same mockers did the same mocking, but again, I knew what I heard and saw.
Upon hearing all the bad reports of my new little grandbaby's health, I of course, prayed. As a matter of fact, I was praying long before they arrived, she was one of twins, and in all my singing, she seemed to actually recognize Amazing Grace at birth. This was evident, in that the nurses actually came and got me from my daughter's room to sing to her as they could not calm that little tiny girl. Through the course of hospital protocol, her care became complicated for a time. She was moved to another hospital in a larger city and her twin came home with mama. Since my daughter was staying with me already, we just traded days and nights with each baby for three weeks. Through those three weeks, the baby in the hospital did not gain any weight and did not respond to their "therapy." The therapy was obviously ridiculous and pointless, but I was already dubbed the "nutty religious grandma." Yes, I anointed her with oil in the NICU!
The one problem with her being released from the hospital was she was not allowed liquids. What do you feed a 3 week old infant besides liquids? With her failure to respond to their therapy, we were going to be allowed to take her home with an NG tube for one week. If she didn't gain weight, they would gain legal authority to intervene with surgery. I will never forget sitting in that conference room with my daughter, social workers, doctors, etc. and my daughter looking me squarely in the eyes with tears in hers, and asked, "Mom, are you sure you heard G-d?" I nodded my head responded with, "Yes." Three days before her release, in all the hubbub of this situation, I was heading into my office, when I saw the vision. It was simple and quick. On top of my three drawer file cabinet sat a huge can of baby formula with a prayer shawl draped over it. I blinked at it was gone, but the image remains in my mind to this day. I knew that was what was needed for my granddaughter. I went to the fabric store, purchased linen muslin, would be receiving the formula sample from the hospital new baby kit when she came home, so I was ready! The one thing after preparing this was hearing and knowing to offer this right before we fed her through the NG tube, when she was actually hungry. Abba clearly told me, "She would respond and eat."
The evening she came home, her feeding was to be at 9pm, so I place about a teaspoon of powdered formula on the little cloth, tied it with a pink ribbon, and moistened it. As her mom prepared her formula for the tube, I took that baby upstairs, began singing and rocking, and placed the little food bundle to her lips. Within a moment, that baby was sucking on that formula filled cloth! Sucking hard enough, we discovered she had dimples! We worked with this for nearly a week offering that before administering the tube feeding, when that little baby pulled the tube out herself. At her week check up she'd either gained 5 ounces or weighed 5 pounds, now I don't remember, but it was a definite gain. The first weight gain since her birth! Her first full sentence would come 13 months later while eating out with the naysayers. She took a bite and said, "It's so good!"
Sixteen years later, this little baby is practically all grown up. She truly enjoys sports and was riding her bike recently when she was hit by a car. Praise Adonai, she was not injured terribly, but she did receive some bruises and contusions. I found out through social media . . . The report was from the ER, no broken bones, the obvious bruises and contusions, torn ligaments, and possible concussion. Of course I prayed and asked many of my friends to join me. Prayers were going up for that little girl from all over the globe. Her Xrays had presumably been read by a radiologist and the ER doctor, but something just didn't look right about her ankle or foot, so I prayed for insight and received it.
With insurance being what it is today, I was concerned that something was being ignored to expedite the case and minimize the expense. When I spoke up on social media in regard to the later photos posted, the thread went ugly quite rapidly, so I pulled it, knowing she would be seen by an orthopedic surgeon. I had simply stated, and now I wish I'd left the proof . . . that between the ankle and foot there was a fracture or chip or some sort of bone injury. The orthopedic surgeon read the Xrays and said no break just torn ligaments. I remained adamant that it was a bone injury. I knew what I'd heard and I could see from the photo! The specialist did recommend one more test, an MRI, just to put everyone's mind at ease. My granddaughter contacted me following that test to report to say, "Interestingly, the MRI showed a crack in my heel . . ."
Whether we want to admit it or not, as a society, we have placed our faith in modern medicine, and that is just as idolatrous as any other false god. In prayer I heard what the problem was. What three experts missed with Xrays, a "nutty religious grandma" heard from our Creator.
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3

Unhealthy Relationships Can Make Us Sick
Contributed by Judith Dennis
BeInHealth Update:
Many diseases seem to come out of nowhere. The medical community says the etiology is unknown, which means doctors have no idea how it originated. The Bible says we are spiritual beings. We have a spirit, and a soul, and we live in a "mobile home" called a body! When there is something wrong in our spirit, that problem can become a diagnosed disease in the body.
Bad relationships can damage us to the core. Being rejected, abandoned, and having a broken heart, are the foundations for sickness. Sometimes in relationships we may find ourselves wanting to please people but feel unable. Maybe we are still re-living old relationship mistakes from the past. Maybe we read the Word and all we hear is guilt and condemnation, self-hatred, and heaviness that come from our failures, and can be destructive to the heart and the body. People who get stuck in grief, guilt, or anger are targets for the enemy who comes to kill, steal, and destroy.That road never leads to peace, joy, or anything else God promises.
God has a better way! Forgiveness, love, joy, patience, kindness, and self-control are some of the fruits of a relationship with Him. The chemicals released by unforgiveness coming out of bitterness are extremely destructive to our body. Forgiving others is the most important thing you can do for your health.
Mark 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
We can leave behind all the harm of the past and choose God's way instead. That's where healing begins. When we trust God to lead us into all truth, we can approach relationships without fear of rejection and abandonment. Our lives will be peaceful and whole. That's good for our health!

No More Sorcery!
I took care of ulcers with cabbage juice, aloe vera, and cayenne pepper. I'd struggled with ulcers for years and years, and I felt convicted to stop taking pharmaceuticals for chronic conditions. I was on a number of prescriptions due to MS and ulcers. Back then the treatment plan for MS was basically various pharmaceuticals to address symptoms, so there were a number of prescriptions. Obviously, there is still no cure for MS, but I knew I could address the ulcer problem. Rather than just kill the acid production in my stomach, which I knew would eventually result in more problems, I wanted the ulcers healed.
Mainstream treatment for chronic conditions
I needed a natural remedy or change of diet. Within three weeks of the concoction in the previous paragraph, my ulcers were gone. That was back in the day before prilosec was OTC and I never filled the "prilosec prescription." I did not receive a momentary instant healing, but the symptoms never returned. MS symptoms and management have proven much more difficult than ulcers. As a matter of fact, although I did away with symptom managing prescriptions, I did use mainstream medicine in two isolated MS exacerbations before simply stating "No More Sorcery."
That's what I want to discuss, and this article will not address congenital issues or accidents. This is for adults making decisions about our own health. While we claim to believe our Creator heals, and proclaim that His Son brought salvation, deliverance, and healing to all who will believe, most are walking in various levels of health issues and/or pain. With the exception of accidents, most of our maladies didn't come upon us overnight! We have a tendency to place our Heavenly Father on some sort of timetable and if He doesn't make it happen quickly, we're off to the doctor! I've heard the justification for combining faith with mainstream medicine in the basic statement that "G-d gave the doctors wisdom and we simply pray that HE guides their hands in surgery and provides the needed knowledge in the treatment plan . . ." Then there's the tried and true rationalization for going for X rays, lab work, tests, and procedures . . . "so we know how to pray."
Apparently our society has programmed people to believe; although wisdom comes from our Creator, He needs test results to know how to guide the doctors. Let that sink in for just a moment . . .
It is not easy to walk away from the sorcery of our society. Pharmakeia is mainstream, but the Word of our Creator stands forever and He promised to keep us in health if we observe and obey His commands. The Revelation is also very clear regarding the word "pharmakeia." Although the term was translated "sorceries," the original is easily found and clearly recognizable as the root word of pharmacy and pharmaceuticals. This is more than a matter of physical convenience, according to Scripture, it's a matter of faith with eternal consequence.
And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. Revelation 9:20-21
There is, of course, Good News and Instructions!
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of YHWH thy G-d, and
wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments,
and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I
have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am YHWH that healeth thee. Exodus 15:26
