"Out of the cities; out of the cities!" - this is the message the Lord has been giving me." Maranatha, p. 141. How well do you think people will be able to evacuate Los Angeles, New York, Chicago when this happens? Where do you live? 

 

I read these inspired words nearly 25 years ago. I remember listing my house for sale by owner in the small city in which I lived. In three days we had a buyer. The Holy Spirit then led me to a beautiful, country property to purchase. Two other parcels had fallen out of escrow when I found the one the Lord had picked for us. The Lord provided the money to buy the two parcels at the exact time, and the land was ours. It was divine appointment for sure. One day I want to write a book about all the miracles God did in my life.

 

Yesterday, I picked organic tomatoes, bell peppers, cantaloupe, grapes, almonds, and carrots and admired the persimmons and pomegranates that were almost ripe. The 75 fruit trees and garden were a real blessing. As I picked the fruit, I recalled another prophecy that moved me to plant the garden and trees: "Parents can secure small homes in the country, with land for cultivation, where they can have orchards and where they can raise vegetables and small fruits to take the place of flesh meat, which is so corrupting to the life blood coursing through the veins. On such places the children will not be surrounded with the corrupting influences of city life. God will help His people to find such homes outside the cities.--Medical Ministry, p. 310. (1902) 

"My warning is: Keep out of the cities. Build no sanitariums in the cities. Educate our people to get out of the cities into the country, where they can obtain a small piece of land, and make a home for themselves and their children." Country Living p. 10

 

Not only did God provide the money, He also provided the perfect piece of property with two parcels so I could build BellaVita Lifestyle Center on one of them. I had envisioned a health retreat years ago where the guests would be educated in God's health principles and restored back to health. I knew God wanted the place to be built in the country amongst the orchards, vines, and flowers, where we could take the guests outdoors to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of nature that God had provided. I remember at the last BellaVita session, we served the guests fresh picked red chard, peaches, apples, tomatoes and grapes.

 

The special parcels of land were once part of a Senator's plantation that was built in 1844.   

 

I received a call from a retired Dentist named Joe this morning who asked if I would write about the dangers of drugs. He specifically pointed to Revelation 18:23, 24: And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."

 

In the Greek, the word for sorceries is pharmakeia, which means, according to Strong's Concordance, "medication (pharmacy), magic, sorcery, witchcraft."

 

I have been in natural medicine and alternative health for over 25 years. I am not going to argue whether a person should take a drug for an emergency crisis or anaesthesia before surgery, but I will argue the wholesale marketing of drugs, the deaths and damage caused by many prescription drugs, and the huge profits raked in by the pharmaceutical drug cartels.

 

I have sat across many chemotherapy patients and listened to their shocking, horror stories regarding failed cancer treatments. The sad look in their faces after the chemotherapy and radiation had failed again! Here are some of the statements I often hear from the victims: "The doctor's sounded so hopeful, and I believed him;" "He said he had clear margins after my lumpectomy, why is the cancer back;" "If I had known what my arm would feel like I would have never had the lymph nodes removed;" or "If you don't take the chemotherapy you will die."  

 

Last week, I spoke to a doctor who was looking for alternative treatment centers for his nephew who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He admitted that modern-medicine offers little, if any, hope for his nephew's case. When the patient's wife asked the oncologist about alternative therapies as a possible treatment protocol, the doctor turned red in his face and blurted out, "They don't work." It reminded me of my discussion with the doctor at 3ABN after I was cancelled for quoting Dr. Max Gerson and other natural healers, and my promoting colon cleansing. "There is no scientific proof to support these people," he said. "There is no science to colon cleansing."

 

But there is proof that many drugs have caused many deaths in America. The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that the third leading cause of death in this country are drugs and doctors. Iatrogenic induced death means the doctors and drugs were the cause. Charlotte Gerson once said, "More people are dying from the side-effects of the medications than from the disease itself."

 

Here are the dismal figures: 12,000 unnecessary surgeries; 7,000 medication errors in hospitals; 20,000 other errors in hospitals; 80,000 infections in hospitals; and 106,000 non-error, negative effects of drugs!  

How many reports need to be published that verify FDA-approved drugs like Vioxx and Celebrex cause heart attacks and strokes? How many reports that statin drugs cause liver damage and cancer? How many reports on the contraindications of drugs, while the drug salesmen bring more gourmet lunches to the doctor's office in order to sell them their potions? The government wants to make flu shots in New Jersey mandatory before children are admitted to school. My Italian doctor once said, "In Italy, we do not believe in injecting germs into people."

 

"Drugs never cure disease; they only change its form and location. . . . When drugs are introduced into the system, for a time they seem to have a beneficial effect. A change may take place, but the disease is not cured. It will manifest itself in some other form. . . . The disease which the drug was given to cure may disappear, but only to reappear in a new form, such as skin diseases, ulcers, painful, diseased joints, and sometimes in a more dangerous and deadly form. . . . Nature keeps struggling, and the patient suffers with different ailments, until there is a sudden breaking down in her efforts, and death follows. Healthful Living, p. 243.
