When most people hear the word “plague” images of the Black Death and plague-infested bodies being catapulted over city walls is usually what we see; dirty bombs and gas masks and quarantine signs and people dying so quickly that we really have no time to stop its spread. Yes, we have been warned, these pictures could very well be coming to our hometowns, even our homes. Bird flu has often been compared to the Spanish flu with one notable exception… one plague never happened.
Our government has plans in place for the inevitability of the need to quarantine massive amounts of people… why? Why is it inevitable? Is it because they have been busy creating lovely little germs in their laboratories that will be introduced to all of us soon? More immune system attacking germs and viruses like the ever-popular AIDS or new strains of old favorites like tuberculosis? What other cocktails have they cooked up for the citizens of the world?
One thing we don’t envision is the fact that plagues can come silently, quietly. So quietly, in fact, that although we see them we don’t really see them for what they are: plagues. Diabetes, for example is a plague. It may not be contagious, like small pox, and it may not kill quickly, but it can be just as deadly. So can anorexia. Heart disease and neurological diseases are on the increase. We often hear the terms, “epidemic proportions,” but do we understand what that really means? Epidemic: A widespread outbreak of an infectious disease; many people are infected at the same time. In other words, an epidemic is a plague.
We now have hidden plagues. Diabetes, heart disease, candida… hold on, what is that? Most people have never heard of Candida, which is amazing because so many people suffer from this condition. Candida is basically the overgrowth of yeast in our bodies. Most women are familiar with yeast infections, but do not realize that not only can you have a yeast infection and not even know it, but also it can go on for years. The worse part of all is that men don’t even know about yeast infections and that they too can develop this problem.
According to www.candidafree.net, the symptoms vary and can include:
An incapacitating fatigue, problems with concentration and short-term memory, flu-like symptoms such as pain in the joints and muscle, extreme tightness in the shoulders and neck, hyper-acidity/acid reflux, brown colored mucus in the back of the throat, blisters in the mouth/tongue/throat, either white or "blood blisters", un-refreshing sleep, sore throat, white coated tongue, dark circles under the eyes, an aversion to being touched or jumping, "crawling" skin, chronic sinus problems and headaches including migraines, and chronic dental problems.
Candida seems to go hand-in-hand with Diabetes. In fact, at one point in time Candida was seen as a symptom of Diabetes. Both conditions involve too much sugar in our system. Candida yeast thrives in a high-sugar environment, especially in an environment where good bacteria has been killed off. When we take an abundance of antibiotics, or consume meat and dairy with extra antibiotics, the antibiotics kill off the bacteria in our body, both good and bad. This is why so many women develop yeast infections after taking penicillin.
Also from the website quoted above:
Psychological problems may include: depression, irritability, anxiety, panic attacks, recurring obsessive thoughts, personality changes and mood swings (irrational rage or crying for no reason - fear of talking to people, any kind of confrontation, isolation), and paranoia.
When our bodies are not processing our foods properly, due to the lack of proper nutrients and bacteria, and due to the overabundance of processed foods in our diets, we develop a host of diseases that affect not only our bodies, but our minds as well. Every day more and more people are diagnosed with illnesses such as: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction), Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), Lupus, Hypothyroidism, Leaky Gut Syndrome, Crohn's Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Celiac Disease, chronic sinusitis, atopic eczema, Seborrheic Dermatitis, Tinea Versicolor, GI Dysbiosis, adrenal dysfunction, Rosacea, Psoriasis, Macular Degeneration, Barrett's Esophagus, Lactose Intolerance, Gluten and/or Casein Intolerance, Meniere's Disease, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Many of the symptoms of these diseases overlap. Candida, Leaky Gut Syndrome, Lactose Intolerance, and Gluten and/or Casein Intolerance all involve pain in the intestinal region and are related to our inability to digest food properly. Each of these conditions is related to dysbiosis, or an imbalance of the intestinal flora in our bodies. Most doctors do not recognize dysbiosis and therefore only treat the symptoms of these illnesses instead of looking for the root cause.
Dysbiosis was first discovered by Dr. Metchnikoff, for which he won a Nobel Prize in 1908. A contemporary of Dr. Pasteur, Dr. Metchnikoff’s discovery of both the good and bad bacteria in our gut led to the understanding of the use of probiotics in the prevention and reversal of bacterial infections. This imbalance of bacteria can be brought on by high stress, chemical exposure, oral contraceptives (the pill), surgery, antibiotic and pain killer usage, and poor food choices.
As we’ve already seen, the additives in our foods coupled with over-processed ingredients cause our bodies to be unable to break down foods properly, and add to the inability to absorb the nutrients. We will also soon see how the use of certain substances deemed beneficial to us is actually more harmful than good. When you look at it this way, and understand that the food industry is well aware of the toxic effects of some of the ingredients, but use them anyway, it is very easy to make the connection… they are trying to kill us.
Yet every time we notice a new disease, the first reaction from the medical community is, “It’s all in your head.” Just like women who suffered from PMS for years without help, we are seeing more and more people suffering from God-knows-what being treated as if they were nuts. What do you think the doctors believed when they first started seeing hyperactive children? Probably that they were possessed! Now hyperactivity is well documented and has a billion dollar drug industry associated with it.
The same is true for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The latest one is called Morgellons, which is characterized by a crawling sensation on the skin along with the appearance of fibers under the skin. Recently studies have begun to look into the claims made by those who suffer from this condition, but for years they suffered alone. Many were simply told, “It’s all in your head,” until the fibers started to show up. What can these doctors say when they themselves pull fibers (colored fibers) out of their patients? There is truly no denying it in light of physical evidence. Finally there are being studies done, but still many doctors deny its existence, acting as if these very real symptoms were all in their patients mind.
Why is it that we will believe something if “studies indicate” but not if it is the parents that are noticing things are wrong? Autism rates in this country have skyrocketed. In California, between the years of 1987 and 1998, the autism rate jumped 273%! The Center for Disease Control (CDC) announced in 2007 that 1 out of every 150 children in America have autism. That’s a lot of autistic children. What could possibly be causing this type of increase? If you ask the doctors and scientists who are studying that question, the answer you will hear may be something like, “It’s a mixture of genetics and environment,” or “It must be something the parent has done.”
Although the second statement has been disproved, the standard reply will still speak of “genetic predisposition”. If you were to ask the parent of an autistic child, the response you would get from them would be totally different. “My child was fine,” they would say, “until the vaccination.”
Vaccines today use a substance called Thimerosal, a mercury-containing organic compound used as a preservative. It contains 49.6% mercury by weight, which is the principal agent killing contaminates in the vaccine. According to www.newstarget.com:
The Department of Defense classifies mercury as a hazardous material that could cause death if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Studies indicate that mercury tends to accumulate in the brains of primates and other animals after they are injected with vaccines. Mercury poisoning has been linked to cardiovascular disease, autism, seizures, mental retardation, hyperactivity, dyslexia and many other nervous system conditions. That’s why the FDA rigorously limits exposure to mercury in foods and drugs. Some common sources of mercury include dental amalgam fillings, various vaccines and certain fish contaminated by polluted ocean waters.
So, if mercury is so bad for us that the FDA limits the amount of mercury allowed in foods and drugs, why do the vaccines contain more mercury now than they did before?
We are putting our children at risk for nothing. Records in not only this country, but in England as well, show that infectious disease rates were already dropping well before the vaccination program started. In fact, there was a slight increase in new cases of certain diseases immediately following the release of the vaccination. “Cleanliness is next to Godliness,” they always say; well, it is true. Anytime sanitation is present, disease is absent. The increase in hand washing alone causes a dramatic decrease in childhood illnesses, as does good nutrition. Vaccinations actually harm, not benefit, the immune system and have been known to cause the very illness they were created to prevent, most notably polio.
When we hear the words “plague” and “epidemic” we don’t normally think of mental health issues either, yet the diagnostic rate of depression is skyrocketing. According to the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) there are three major types of depression: Major Depressive Disorder, Dysthymic Disorder, and Bipolar Disorder. Major depressive disorder is the leading cause of disability in the United States for people ages 15 to 44, affecting approximately 17.1 million American adults (8% of the adult population). It is about twice as common in women as it is in men.
How many of the people who have “snapped” and started killing others were later found to have been taking prescription drugs to treat depression? Too many to count. We’ve heard that there is an epidemic of school shootings sweeping this country, yet we don’t quite grasp what is being said here. Epidemic = plague. Yes, there is a plague of depression sweeping this country and we don’t even seem to notice. Maybe it’s because we don’t seem to notice the other people around us anymore. Years ago, before the inventions of television and air conditioning, neighbors used to visit with one another, sharing news of the neighborhood. Everyone knew when there was a crisis in the neighborhood and would come together to help whoever was in need. Not today. Today most of us suffer in silence.
It is this suffering that is one of the causes of depression. Another cause is our SAD diet. When our bodies are unable to absorb nutrients, or the nutrients simply are not in our foods, our bodies tend to slow down. We lose energy and have a hard time concentrating and don’t know why. These are some of the same conditions that doctors classify as symptoms of depression. If we would simply return to the traditional ways of preparing our foods, and started to care for one another’s needs again, we would discover a dramatic drop in depression in this country.
Recent studies have indicated that foods rich in Omega – 3 fatty acids have anti-depressant properties. Although they are not willing to state that this nutrient can be used to treat depression, this conclusion seems quite obvious to me. Maybe the reason they are not willing to state this is due to the amount of money the pharmaceutical companies would lose if this information were released to the general public with that statement. We are intelligent human beings; we can draw our own conclusions without the help of the doctors and laboratories… or are we?
Lately we have seen a couple of cases where certain viruses have “gotten out” of the laboratory and someone has gotten sick. Are these trial runs for more plagues planned for our future? Just why do we need to have so many samples of small pox? Can’t we just leave the formula for future generations, just in case? How many villages have been wiped out by epidemics that go through so quickly that the entire village is dead before anyone outside knows anyone was even sick? What might be the next deadly plague? Yellow fever? Bird flu? Or some other highly toxic virus like AIDS, only faster moving?
We don’t have the answers to these questions, and we shouldn’t even have to ask them, but with the way things are going these days, you simply can’t trust anyone any more. Anyone who has spent any time in the Word knows that evil days are ahead. All the watchmen are aware of what is coming. It’s not pretty. This world has never seen anything like it before.
Health care costs have skyrocketed and it is getting harder and harder to find a good general practitioner because there are just so many sick people and too many specialists. Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, hypothyroidism, irritable bowl syndrome; all of these were virtually unheard of just 40 years ago. Now they make front page new in the health section as folks search desperately for a cure, or even a good treatment. Just think of how much money the health care industry is making off of these diseases. The pharmaceutical companies can’t reinvest their profits fast enough and although they pour millions of dollars annually into lobbying efforts, the top executives have no choice but to live lavish lifestyles, the poor things.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is bought and paid for, many times over. Most of the top executives either worked for the industry prior to attaining their job at the FDA, or they acquire top-paying jobs in the food and drug industry soon after vacating their post. The connection between aspartame and Donald Rumsfeld is only the tip of the iceberg. And now the FDA is going after the vitamin manufacturers, who seem to be our only line of defense against these big corporations and their greedy policies. What are we to do? Whom shall we trust?
Parents are quick to give their coughing child some cold medicine, but are we really sure that these even work? As far back as 1972 the FDA has complained that there were only a few studies done on children, only eleven in the last half-century, and they did not establish that the medicines even work. So, why do we give them these medications? Maybe it is because we are no longer taught to give nutritious foods to build up the immune system so the body can effectively fight off the common cold. Children need to cough up any phlegm from their chest and get it out. Cough syrup prevents this from happening, causing the body to take longer to heal. So, in all actuality, giving a child medication can cause the opposite effect, allowing the cold to linger.
Last, but certainly not least of all, we have the plague of cancer that is sweeping not only our country, but also the entire world. Throughout my studies of nutrition and the SAD diet, there is one thing I have found over and over again: many of the additives we consume daily cause cancer. There are as many cancers as there are additives it seems. We have been battling cancer for decades now and it doesn’t seem like we are making any headway. It seems like cancer is winning… and it seems like that’s the plan.
Do the research. Cancer cures have been around almost as long as cancer. Why don’t we know about them? We don’t know about them because treating cancer is much more profitable than curing it. The standard protocols for cancer treatment call for manageability, not total recovery. Nutrition is totally ignored for the most part and we are fed a bunch of poison in the hopes that it will only kill the cancer.
The cancer research currently underway is not looking into the causes of cancer, simply the treatment. If we want to cure cancer, don’t we need to discover the causes so we can eliminate them, thereby eliminating cancer? Makes sense to me, but what do I know? I’m not a paid researcher. I do my research freely, which means that I am not going to lean towards the pharmaceutical companies.
In my research I have come across the story of one man who had a cure for many cancers, mostly of the skin. His treatment worked wonders and people were being cured in his clinics. The treatment was so successful that government representatives went to see this man, hoping to purchase the secret from him. The man said that he would be happy to share the secret, on one condition: the treatment would remain available to any and all who needed it, regardless of their financial means. When the officials refused to agree to these terms, he refused to divulge the secret… so they ran him out of the country! Once again, the almighty dollar prevails.
Dr. Ralph Moss is the author of The Cancer Industry. In his book he states that chemotherapy drugs are the most toxic substances ever deliberately put into the human body. He also states:
“Effective” cancer treatment is a matter of definition. The FDA defines an “effective” drug as one that achieves a 50% or more reduction in tumor size for twenty-eight days. In the vast majority of cases, there is absolutely no correlation between a tumor shrinking for twenty-eight days and the cure of the cancer or even extension of life. When the cancer patient hears the doctor say the word “effective,” he or she thinks that means it cures cancer. But all it means is a temporary reduction in the size of the tumor.
Alan C. Nixon, Ph.D. is the former president of the American Cancer Society (ACS) and he states point-blank, “Chemotherapy does much more harm than good.” There are many other doctors who agree, yet those who challenge the medical establishment’s cancer protocols, which usually call for aggressively attacking the cancer with radiation and chemotherapy, are called wackos and worse.
According to Lee Cowden, M.D., of the University of Texas Medical School:
To the cancer establishment, a cancer patient is a profit center. The actual clinical and scientific evidence does not support the claims of the Cancer Industry. Conventional cancer treatments are in place as the law of the land, because they pay, not heal, the best. Decades of the politics of cancer as usual have kept us from knowing this and will continue to do so unless we wake up to this reality.
You can’t get much clearer than that. The various cancer societies and foundations are collecting lots of money for research that is not focused on finding cures and preventing cancer, but on how to “treat” cancer.
There are quite a number of businesses that have sprung up around the treatment of cancer. From the companies that make mammogram machines to the ones that make the chemotherapy drugs to the wig manufacturing company, there are many hundreds, if not thousands of people involved in the cancer industry. How much of the money that has been raised for cancer research goes into the search for causes and cures and how much goes into the treatment options? How much goes into lobbying efforts?
We all carry the cancer cells within us. These cells cannot grow unless the conditions are just right. Our modern lifestyles, with our microwaves and our pollution and the fast food that we all enjoy, have compromised our immune systems. This allows these cancer cells to grow and multiply and overtake our defense systems. Proper nutrition, while it can’t cure all of our ills, goes a long way towards improving our immune system so that it is better equipped to fight cancers and all these other diseases.
Throughout this study I have learned one very important fact: you can’t trust the medical establishment, or governmental agencies, or advertising agencies to look out for what is best for us. We have to research these things ourselves. We can’t continue to consume that which is not food and expect not to have to pay for it in the end. We have become human guinea pigs of the global elite, and we are oblivious.
There is only One who can save us from our enemies. There is only One who can protect us from the plagues of the end times. His arm is stronger than any governmental agency, any excitotoxin, or any other additive that they intend to use to kill us. He can protect us, if He so desires, but He shouldn’t have to. We should be protected already. If we would simply follow His Word, His teachings, then we would be much healthier than those around us, and therefore protected from all of these diseases that now plague the entire world.
“If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, to fear this honored and awesome name, the LORD your God, then the LORD will bring extraordinary plagues on you and your descendants, even severe and lasting plagues, and miserable and chronic sicknesses. He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid, and they will cling to you. Also every sickness and every plague which, not written in the book of this law, the LORD will bring on you until you are destroyed. Then you shall be left few in number, whereas you were as numerous as the stars of heaven, because you did not obey the LORD your God.” (Deuteronomy 28:58-62)
This seems pretty plain to me; obey and be healthy or disobey and be sick, just like the rest of the world. Chronic illnesses abound in epidemic proportions yet we refuse to see the real cause is our disobedience. If we would simply turn back to Adonai, following the rules that He gave us (for our own benefit) we would regain our health, or at least ease the discomfort of the pain caused by our disbelief.
So many of us, myself included, have claimed to be giving Adonai control of our entire lives, yet refusing to give up eating a certain food that we enjoy. We somehow equate freedom with a separation from the law, yet we can only truly obtain freedom through the law. We are free to live a long, healthy life as long as we follow His simple dietary plan. If we do, we will live long and prosper in the land, just as He said.
