Dear Friends: One of the most powerful warnings in the Bible is 1 Peter 5:8: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." Let us dissect this verse carefully and thereby gain a better understanding of whom and what we are dealing with. Do you understand that "your adversary" is "the devil" - Satan himself? The word adversary means an enemy or an opponent, and in this case one who is like "a roaring lion" (or a hungry wild animal) eager to win the game of eternal life or eternal death. Satan, is you zealous opponent, according to 1 Peter 5:8. He is diligently searching for you, his prey. He is carefully watching each one of us, like a hungry lion seeks to seize upon and destroy his prey. The apostle, therefore, trumpets the message "Be sober, be vigilant" because your opponent is a supernatural, fallen angel, and your eternal life is at stake! What does the word sober mean to you? I believe it means not to be drunk or intoxicated as by the effects of alcoholic beverages. But the deeper meaning is that we should not partake of any substance that will interfere with the clarity of our mind! Peter, therefore, urges us not only to be "sober", but also to be "vigilant", or to watch carefully -to be very alert! Alcohol is not the only substance that can benumb the perceptions of the mind. Saturated animal fat can effect the circulation of the blood, and reduce the amount of oxygen that reaches the brain. A sour stomach from eating wrong combinations of food and excess sugar, can cause fermentation and an alcohol-like toxicity that fouls the blood and benumbs the mind. Let us now turn to another warning given in the Bible by Jesus Christ. In Luke 21:34-36, the Lord admonishes us, "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." It appears to me that Peter and Jesus had the same purpose in mind as you compare the two scripture references above. Jesus begins with the words "And take heed to yourselves", or "listen up!", and then immediately emphasizes there is a serious problem with man's appetite. The words, "Let not your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness" and "that day come upon you unaware" clearly reveal that the perverted appetite of man can prevent us from making the proper preparation for the coming of the Son of God!
You probably know the word drunkenness means an over-abundance of drink, or a state of intoxication, but did you know the word surfeiting means an over-abundance of food. Jesus is trying to warn us not to be "overcharged", or overloaded with excess amounts of food and drink. Does the word gluttony come to mind? Jesus then warns us that overeating and drinking, or gluttony, is a "snare" or trap that your opponent, the devil, has laid for every one of us. No wonder fast-food restaurants are everywhere, and two-thirds of Americans are overweight! The diet served to the billions of Americans consists of fiberless, high fat feasts of ground dead flesh containing cow brains and spinal cords from diseased animals and placed between two nutritionally-deficient white flour buns with head lettuce, ketchup, mustard, and dead cucumbers! Jesus and the Apostle Peter, in these two passages of scripture are warning us that this is no ordinary contest--it is a war and an endless battle with the forces of good and evil! "If Christians will keep the body in subjection, and bring all their appetites and passions under the control of enlightened conscience, feeling it a duty that they owe to God and life, they will have the blessing of physical and mental vigor. They will have moral power to engage in the warfare against Satan; and in the name of Him who conquered appetite in their behalf, they may be more than conquerors on their own account. This warfare is open to all who will engage in it." Counsels on Diet and Foods, p.65. Friends, the battle being waged between Christ and Satan is for your mind and whom you will ultimately serve. Christians need to understand that "A close sympathy exists between the physical and the moral nature. The standard of virtue is elevated or degraded by the physical habits. Excessive eating of the best of food will produce a morbid condition of the moral feeling. And if the food is not the most healthful, the effects will be still more injurious. Wrong habits of eating and drinking lead to errors in thought and action. Indulgence of appetite strengthens the animal propensities, giving them the ascendancy over the mental powers." Ibid., 62. Are you bowing down to the Golden Arches of Babylon or before the throne of God?
As John the Baptist and Elijah ate a very simple diet as they prepared for the special work they were called to do for the Lord, we should also, as we prepare to do the closing work on this earth before the second coming of Christ, eat a nutritious diet of whole plant food as close to the Creator's design as possible and prepared in a simple way.
"Be sure that as a rational Christian sentinel you guard the door of your stomach, allowing nothing to pass your lips that will be an enemy to your health and life. God holds you responsible to obey the light He has given you on health reform. There are large blood vessels in the limbs for the purpose of distributing the life-giving current to all parts of the body. The fire you kindle in your stomach is making your brain like a heated furnace. Eat much more sparingly, and eat simple food which does not require heavy seasoning. Your animal passions should be starved, not pampered and fed. The congestion of blood in the brain is strengthening the animal instincts and weakening spiritual powers." CDF, p. 102.
"Health reform is an intelligent selection of the most healthful article of food prepared in the most healthful, simplest form. "Our bodies are built up from the food we eat. There is a constant breaking down of the tissues of the body; every movement of every organ involves waste, and this waste is repaired from our food. Each organ of the body requires its share of nutrition. The brain must be supplied with its portion; the bones, muscles, and nerves demand theirs. It is a wonderful process that transforms the food into blood and uses this blood to build up the varied parts of the body; but this process is going on continually, supplying with life and strength each nerve, muscle, and tissue.
"God has furnished man with abundant means for the gratification of an unperverted appetite. He has spread before him the products of the earth--a bountiful variety of food that is palatable to the taste and nutritious to the system. Of these our benevolent heavenly Father says we may freely eat. Fruits, grains, and vegetables, prepared in a simple way...They impart nourishment to the body and give a power of endurance and a vigor of intellect that are not produced by a stimulating diet.
"Let the table be made inviting and attractive, as it is supplied with the good things which God has so bountifully bestowed. Let mealtime be a cheerful, happy time. As we enjoy the gifts of God, let us respond by grateful praise to the Giver.
"God has given us the fruits and grains of the earth for food, that we might have unfevered blood, calm nerves, and clear minds." My Life Today, p. 132.

DR. RUSSELL BLAYLOCK ON SWINE FLU |
I just finished listening to an interview with Dr, Russell Blaylock, the neurosurgeon who spoke at Modern Manna's Health and Healing Crusade years ago, and Dr. Joseph Mercola. The interview was on the dangers of vaccines and what you can do if you are forced to take them. I found the interview to be very informative in light of the swine flu vaccine controversy and possible mandatory vaccination. Dr. Blaylock began by stating that there are two opposing forces feeding us information. On the one side are FEMA, Homeland Security, and the Government working in conjunction with the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the vaccines and on the other side are the virologists, epidemiologists, and the CDC. Dr. Blaylock said: "We are getting two different stories. On one side we are getting a lot of panic talk using statistics like 50% of the American population or 150 million people will become infected. That 1.8 million people will end up in the hospital. ... But when we talk to medical experts like virologists and epidemiologists we get a completely different story." What the Center for Disease Control is saying is that swine flu is a rather mild seasonal flu. It is not as damaging as the previous seasonal flues and has a lower death rate and communicability (spreading through the community). Yet, the U. S. Government is reporting that 50% of the population may get infected-more than twice the number of the 1918 flu. Dr. Blaylock stated that the hospitalizations and deaths from swine flu are less than previous flu seasons. The 1918 flu took place at the very end of WWI. These troops were concentrated, had poor nutrition, stressed from battle, had a high susceptibility, and many died from pneumonia. There were few antibiotics available then and virology did not exist in 1918 and no way to identify viruses. The big question now is mandatory vaccinations and whether Americans are becoming overly concerned. Dr. Blaylock said that there is strong evidence that vaccinations offer no better protection. In a review of more than 51 studies involving more than 294,000 children it was found there was "no evidence that injecting children 6-24 months of age with a flu shot was any more effective than placebo. In children over 2 yrs, it was only effective 33% of the time in preventing the flu. Reference: Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy children." The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 2 (2008). Another 30-year study reported that vaccines do not reduce hospitalization or death rates in adults. Many vaccines are contaminated with stealth-type viruses that can cause disease twenty years from the time they are first given. Contamination is a major issue because the vaccinations can harm you and your children. The polio vaccine, now years later, is causing brain, lung, and ovarian tumors and this information is being kept from the public. The possible damage from the hundreds of stealth-type viruses used in vaccines may not surface for a decade or two after the vaccine is given. "We are finding in the neurological community an explosion of neurological brain diseases and the doctors not know why they are occurring," said Blaylock. Asthma and Type-1 Diabetes are increasing dramatically. It is believed that powerful vaccine adjuvants--substances added to a vaccine to improve the immune response so that less vaccine is needed, like the oil-based squalene, may be the cause of the rise in asthma, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases. According to Meryl Nass, M.D., an authority on the anthrax vaccine, "A novel feature of the two H1N1 vaccines being developed by companies Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline is the addition of squalene-containing adjuvants to boost immunogenicity and dramatically reduce the amount of viral antigen needed. This translates to much faster production of desired vaccine quantities." Novartis's proprietary squalene adjuvant for their H1N1 vaccine is MF59. Glaxo's is ASO3. MF59 has yet to be approved by the FDA for use in any U.S. vaccine, despite its history of use in other countries. Less actual swine flu virus is needed when you add adjuvants. Squalene is safe based on topical and oral tests, but Blaylock said it is dangerous when you inject it in muscle and vaccination is the most abnormal way to replicate natural infection. When injected it can cause brain inflammation, loss of memory, and coordination. Another adjuvant is mercury used as a preservative in vaccines that causes slow degeneration in the brain. Aluminum, the only approved adjuvant in the U.S. accumulates in the brain for a lifetime and can cause not only inflammation in the brain, but Alzheimer's and Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS)-a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed. ALS increased dramatically in soldiers forced to take the anthrax vaccine. Can you imagine infants taking the MMR vaccine, which causes immune-suppression for weeks, and then the swine flu vaccine? Certainly this will increase their risk of dying from vaccine toxicity. Mercury with aluminum interacts and worsens toxicity. Doctors are not taught this at medical school. Most doctors are fed information from the pharmaceutical companies that sell them. Fast-track vaccines are being developed and the Government is reassuring us that they will be safe, but the government sites reporting the safety studies are with vaccines that do not contain adjuvants. Dr. Blaylock believes that when they are released they may likely have adjuvants in them. It will be another bait and switch like in 1976 that produced a disaster and over 500 reported cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome. By the way, GBS is an inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nerves. The peripheral nerves convey sensory information like pain and temperature from the body to the brain and motor (i.e., movement) signals from the brain to the body. GBS is characterized by weakness and numbness or tingling in the legs and arms, and possible loss of movement and feeling in the legs, arms, upper body, and face. Thousands of cases of GBS went unreported. Dr. Blaylock said that if they use adjuvants this time we will see not only GBS, but that infants will die, more pregnant women will give birth to babies with autism and schizophrenia because they were immunized during pregnancy, and cases of delayed neurological disorders. And the Government scares us with false information saying that the created pandemic will cause millions of deaths if we do not fast track a swine flu vaccine immediately, when in fact millions will suffer and die from the vaccines themselves. Serious brain degeneration will be another side effect caused by the vaccine. The death rate from H1N1 is less that 1%, but the Government says 10 to 20% will die or be hospitalized as Novartis continues to produce billions of doses of swine flu vaccine. "Millions of children will be guinea pigs," said Dr. Blaylock, "They have no idea when they mix adjuvants. The worse case scenario is if they force vaccines." The potential of such actions would be the following:
1. Killing children and destroying their lives
2. Ruining the offspring of pregnant women
3. Killing the elderly
4.Producing a future generation of people with severely degenerative brain disorders and cancer Dr. Blaylock said: "This is one of the worst abominations you can think of in state and local government." Dr. Blaylock gave a powerful simple remedy to use right after getting a vaccine. He said if you apple a cold compress or icepack to the injection site it would prevent a hyper-immune response like fever, listlessness, and fatigue. An icepack will cause a dramatic reduction in systematic activation of the brain immune cells and block a systematic immune reaction. He also mentioned to take quercetin and Vitamin D3 to reduce a cytokine storm and excess immune reaction. 2,000 IU for children and 5,000 to 10,000 for adults, which is perfectly safe. Dr. Mercola said you could have a blood test to monitor your Vitamin D levels. Many Americans are Vitamin-D deficient. A friend of mine who had cancer tested low in Vitamin-D even though she gets regular sunshine. Extra is needed during the winter months. Vitamin D will cause your body to make antimicrobial peptides that will kill viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Getting the flu and other viruses is directly related to your Vitamin D levels. Dr. Blaylock said that your risk of dying from flu is infinitesimally small when Vitamin D levels are adequate. On Dr. Blaylock's website I found the following recommendations: "Have at least 3 weeks of food and water at your house and be prepared to voluntarily self-quarantine of given no other options. Stock up on Vitamin D3 (3000IU per person), Mixed carotenoids, Vitamin C (buffered), etc and beta-1,3/1,6-glucan (an immune stimulant that targets cellular immunity, the most effective against flu virus).

Furthermore, in this morning's USA Today it reported: "Swine flu vaccine arrives, and the scramble begins." Vaccine for the H1N1 flu will begin arriving in the nation's hospitals, clinics and schools as early as Tuesday, the start of an effort to protect Americans against a swine flu virus that emerged this past spring and quickly circled the globe.
"In a task worthy of a deadly serious video game, state health departments have to organize thousands of workers at 90,000 sites nationwide to administer as many as 250 million doses in three to four months, making sure the people at greatest risk from swine flu - such as pregnant women, young children and health care workers - are first in line. "On top of the logistics, health officials have to convince a somewhat skeptical public that swine flu vaccinations are necessary. 'We're looking at vaccinating as many people as we can in as short a period as we can,' Frieden says. 'There are enormous logistical challenges.' "Officials are expecting 200 million doses by the end of the year and 50 million more by the end of April. The vaccine is coming out in 6 million- to 20 million-dose segments, so not everyone will be able to get it immediately. We'll be focusing initially on the high-risk groups," says Susan Smith of the Florida Department of Public Health in Tallahassee. 'The vaccine will come in batches; we'll focus on pregnant women and then go down the list, based on priority.' "Meanwhile, health officials have a delicate balancing act: convince those reluctant to get vaccinated that H1N1 is a real threat while making sure those most vulnerable get first shot at the vaccine at a time when supplies will be most limited."
