Modern-Day Cannibalism

Picture
People are today are being forced into modern day cannibalism because baby parts or taste enhancers made from the fetuses of aborted babies are being placed in a whole range of the foods we eat, or drinks, soups, chewing gum, sweets, and many other range of products used by humans today, including vaccines, and cosmetics.  Please take the time to learn about this so you may avoid eating human parts in your food.

The Dangers of Eating Cheddar Cheese

THE DANGERS OF EATING CHEDDAR CHEESE 
A Personal Testimony!

Picture
First of all, I must,must thank God for bringing me to this Truth that is of Thusia Seventh-Day Adventist; this Truth that I pray all men come to. Because of our health reform message I am able to identify many of the things that I was eating and didn't know was killing me. YHWH in His infinite mercy brought me to this Church for the sole purpose of saving my life and I'm grateful for that.
Many years ago,when I first came to Thusia, I was suffering with blinding headaches- migraine headaches. So bad were these headaches that I would get severe nose bleeds, vomiting, diarrhea ,nausea, really bad flatulence. One Wednesday evening, approximately 10 yrs ago, I went to church meeting. On that day I was battling a migraine headache which was in the early stages. I had the nausea, bloated stomach and blinding headache.

Picture
My dear Sis S on seeing my distress asked me what was wrong and I told her about the headache that I was fighting. Sis S looked at me and said, "what did you eat today?". I told her that I had eaten macaroni pie with peas. She went on to explain to me that it could be the cheese causing the headaches. She told me to stop eating cheese for two weeks,take a purge to reboot my system and then try eating a little piece of cheese and see what happens. I did as I was instructed. My dear Sis, after I did the cleanse I went and took a piece of cheese-no bigger than the very tip of your baby finger nail- and swallowed it. Sis, that tiny piece of cheese put me down for three days with migraine. As a matter of fact as soon as the cheese touched my tongue I started to feel queasy, and Sis that was when I realised that after years,from the age of five or so, I have been suffering with these headaches and no one could have told me the reason; not even so called specialists. It took the teachings of health reform that Sis S adhered to to pinpoint the source of my agony. My dear Sis I don't have to tell you that I have never eaten cheese from then until now. So from that day until now, almost eleven years later, I've been migraine free only through the grace of YHWH and this wonderful health reform message. May the love of YHWH continue to be with you as we move forward in this great, grand controversy.

Sis. P

Editor's note: It has been established by Doctors that certain foods trigger migraine headaches including aged cheeses (containing tyramine) such as mentioned above by Sis. P, cultured dairy products (yogurt, sour cream etc) and processed meat (salami, pepperoni, hot dogs etc which contain nitrates and nitrites). Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), Chocolate and Caffeine are also known triggers of Migraine headaches and Doctors encourage their elimination where this is the case.

Benefits of Green Papaya (Pawpaw)

Picture
Picture
Often, when the fruit papaya is mentioned it is thought of as ripe, or to be used for cooking your meats or stew.  But how many of you know that green papaya can be eaten raw, make delicious healthy salads, and aids in food digestion and prevent gas?
It’s interesting to know that green papaya has health benefits which can improve your health to a large degree and cause you to want to use it with every salad or every meal.

It was a Sunday afternoon, my beautiful wife and I were doing some research on the benefits of drinking green papaya leaf to cure the dreaded Chikungunya virus that plagued the Caribbean, when we stumbled upon a green papaya salad recipe. After our discovery, we decided to do some research on its value and benefits for human consumption.  This is why I wrote this blog; to share with you the great value and benefits of the green papaya. It is a very healthy fruit to the extent that the papaya tree is dubbed, “THE MIRACLE TREE.” Green papaya converts proteins into essential amino acids, which help to combat fat buildup and boost your immune system; amino- acids is also useful for muscle development. Green papaya also cleanses the colon, fights nausea and constipation. Moreover, it protects the urinary tract in women from infections. Green or unripe papayas are rich in enzymes such as papain and chymopapain; rich in vitamins and phytonutrients. Raw, green, unripe papayas contains essential nutrients and minerals such as potassium, magnesium and Vitamins A,C,B, and E, just to name a few.

Papain: is a powerful digestive enzyme commonly found and extracted from papaya fruit (carica papaya), the papaya enzyme papain plays a key role in digestive processes involving breaking down tough protein fibers.
Chymopapain:  A proteolytic enzyme from the latex of the papaya that is used in meat tenderizer and has been used medically in chemonucleolysis (Spinal cord problem).
Phytonutrients: Are chemicals produced by plant.  Foods with phytonutrients have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Potassium: Benefits of potassium includes better brain function, better muscle function, and lower risk of heart problems, maintains fluid balance, stronger bones improve blood pressure numbers, improve nervous system and more.
Vitamin A:  Has antioxidant properties which protects cells from daily toxic damage of oxidation. Vitamin A is key for good vision, and a healthy immune system.
Vitamin C: Benefits of Vitamin C include protection against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease, skin wrinkling and much more.
Vitamin B: These Vitamins help the process body uses to get or make energy from the food you eat, the eight B vitamins are B1,B2, B3,B5, B7, B9, B12.  These essential nutrients help convert our food into fuel allowing us to stay energized throughout the day.
Vitamin E: Reduces cholesterol and the risk of developing cancer.  It also improves immunity levels and removes free radicals-the unstable compounds that damage the cell structure.

Green Papaya Salad

Ingredients
1 Green (unripe) Papaya
3 garlic cloves
1 lemon
2 tsp sugar (to taste)
½ tsp sea salt
11/2 Tsp coconut oil
1 tsb cayenne
2 pimento peppers
Small Tomatoes (optional)
Chopped nuts (optional)
 
Directions
  1. First prepare the papaya by peeling the dark green skin. Then, hold the papaya in your hand, and smack the fruit lengthwise with a good sized knife. You want to create 1/2″ or so deep cuts into the fruit. Do this over and over until you’ve created a good amount of cuts. Watch your fingers! Then, cut the papaya lengthwise to produce long strips.
  2. In a ceramic mortar and pestle or calabash, add the whole garlic cloves and cayenne pepper and coconut oil (little at a time). Pound with the pestle a few times to mash.

  1. Pound a few more times, and add a pinch of papaya. This helps mix the garlic & cayenne. Pound some more.
  2. Add the brown sugar and salt and pound more. Make sure everything is well mixed.
  3. Add the tomatoes. Pound more, but not as hard. Add the lime juice, pimento and the rest of the papaya.  You want to evenly coat the papaya with the juices while pounding the flavor into the papaya, but don’t pound so hard that the papaya disintegrates. Add the peanuts, mix and serve.

Brethren of Thusia harvest Honey locally in Trinidad
​God in his providential goodness, has provided the bounties of nature even in the form of honey which is likened unto the knowledge of Christ who is our wisdom-1 Corinthians 1:30.  For this we are told in Proverbs 24:13,14:
​
 "My son, eat honey, because it is good: and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off".

Eggplant has not always been one of my favorite vegetable; I often find different ways to use it.  Most recently, I realize I like it with tomato choka style, so decided to try adding tofu in the mix for breakfast and also as a side dish for lunch.  It happened to turn out delicious.

1 1/2 tbsps. Coconut oil
2 cloves garlic (minced)
3 tomatoes (medium, finely chopped)
1 medium onion finely chopped
1/2 tsp sea salt (or to taste)


Directions
Pour coconut oil in your frying pan.
Add onion and garlic in the pan and sauté until tender.
Add eggplant and tomato and sauté until fully cooked.

A Testimony of Nature against Deceptions

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Galatians 6:7.  In farming, only what you plant, you will reap. One will never plant lettuce seeds and reap tomatoes from them. This therefore is a testimony of Nature against deceptions as expressed in the bible verse above.

Charcoal Works Wonders!

Charcoal works wonders!
 
 I first learnt about some of the benefits of charcoal years ago during a Sabbath afternoon discussion at Church. A sister was presenting a study on charcoal, quoting extensively from a book “Rx Charcoal” by Dr. Agatha Thrash. Some of the benefits include:
  • Removes toxins from the body, promoting a healthy digestive tract.
  • Alleviates gas and bloating
  • Relieves pain and itching caused by insect bites.
  • Treats rashes and promotes their quick healing.
  • Whitens teeth
  • Reduce acne and improves skin health
  • Excellent for treating diarrhea in children and adults.
   
The use and health benefits of charcoal have been researched and supported by medical experts in medical journals like the Journal of Medical Toxicology and Adverse Drug Experience (1988).

Picture
My son, Diyahsab and I have personally experienced the advantages of using charcoal especially for stomach pain and diarrhea. When my son was just under one year old, he got diarrhea for the first time. I took him to the doctor and used the prescribed medications for about 2 days without any noted improvement. In conversation with one of my brethren who was inquiring about our well-being, I was advised to give Diyahsab a teaspoon of grated charcoal in a half glass of water. I did just that. I also remembered reading that, it’s best to use warm water and give on an empty stomach. It is said that it is more effective in working faster when done like that. So, I gave him to drink. Within a few hours, the diarrhea was totally checked. I was amazed! I was extremely grateful towards God for giving us these natural remedies and for the advice. With prayerful use of this charcoal remedy, a wonder was wrought! My son had no diarrhea. I think since that time, he had it once. I used the charcoal immediately and the diarrhea was checked almost instantly.
 I continue to use charcoal as a regular home remedy. Once my son had a rash. I made a paste with charcoal and a tip of coconut oil. Within two days, the rash had dried up.
Again, I thank God for these healthy home remedies that I have learnt through the faith of Jesus Christ which promotes health reform practices. I am also very thankful for all who commit themselves to learning and sharing these truths out of the love of God in their heart for their fellowmen.

PictureCharcoal Tablets
We must never underestimate, slight or become forgetful of the natural remedies God has provided for us. YHWH loves and knows what is best for His creation. Let us glorify Him as God alone- the all-wise, by obeying all His principles both for spiritual and physical health.
N.B. Charcoal capsules are also sold at pharmacies.
