| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams.
I appreciate you joining me as we are doing 100 sermons in 100 days.
And of course, I'm an advocate of what I call God's molecules.
And these are natural medicines and vitamins and nutrients that are synthesized in plants through the power of God and creation and photosynthesis and Mother Nature and all that.
It's incredible.
I've talked about God's economy in the past versus man's economy, where man's economy is rooted in scarcity and limited resources and everything is costly and you have to pay a royalty for the medicine or the patent, the intellectual property of the medicine.
Well, in God's economy, it's all based on abundance.
In God's economy, you can grow medicine for free.
And you can do that by sprouting seeds or growing dandelions or herbs or foods or, you know, tomatoes, citrus fruit, all kinds of things.
And you don't have to pay royalties to God.
He gives to you freely through Mother Nature.
And the laws of botany or botanical physiology, the laws of chemistry, the laws of nutrition, are expressions of the mind of God.
And that's why these incredible healing molecules that are found in natural foods or superfoods, you might say, or certain microalgae or herbs or essential oils and these types of things, these are expressions of the mind of God.
And thus, it's not surprising that throughout the Bible, we see many mentions of various herbs and foods and essential oils and substances.
You may be familiar with, you know, the three wise men and what do they bring?
Well, myrrh, among other things.
We'll talk about myrrh, but there are many other foods and herbs mentioned in the Bible.
And as this is a pillar of our teachings...
I'm going to be conducting quite a few sermons based on the biblical recording of certain herbs, their known medicinal uses, and how they were used in the Bible to support life and health and nourishment and sometimes survival.
And in my home I have a A rather extensive library of books on nutrition and encyclopedias and reference guides, everything from herbal antibiotics to natural remedies, natural medicine, medicine from the garden, all kinds of things.
But one of the books that I really treasure is by a man named James A. Duke, a PhD.
And James Duke...
He worked for the USDA Agricultural Research Service for many years.
And I interviewed him many years ago.
It might be 15 years ago.
I'm not exactly sure when.
I interviewed him then and I was struck by the fact that he grew many of the herbs that he was studying and documenting on behalf of the USDA at the time.
And I didn't know at the time that Dr.
Duke or James A. Duke, I didn't know that he was a spiritual man until later when I found out about his book called Herbs of the Bible.
And the word herbs is sort of loosely used there.
It also means foods of the Bible.
So herbs and foods and even superfoods of the Bible is the name of the book.
And Dr. James A. Duke is also the author of Green Pharmacy.
But in this book, Herbs of the Bible, he cites the scripture where the herbs and foods are mentioned so that we can go to those passages, chapter and verse, and we can read about those specific herbs and what they were used for.
So in these teachings that I'm sharing with you, we're not teaching, let's say, a chapter of Scripture.
And we'll start here, by the way, with Deuteronomy, chapter 32, verse 10, which mentions apples.
As simple as that sounds, there's a lot more to it.
Apple of his eye.
It's more than just a saying.
But Deuteronomy 32.10, of course, this was the second set of laws that God was laying down for the Israelites who kept violating God's laws, and there were so many problems, and the whole civilization that was supposed to be obedient to God was most often not very obedient to God.
And so God had to lay down all kinds of laws, you know, in Leviticus and Numbers and Deuteronomy and so on.
And so when it comes to foods, though, foods and superfoods are the blessings that God grants civilizations or societies and grants them these substances in large numbers when those societies are obedient to the laws that God has laid down.
And, of course, in the Old Testament, which is what we're talking about here, God had to be very, very specific with all kinds of rules that perhaps today we would think that those might be assumed.
Like, you know, don't eat food from a bowl of other rotten food, you know, or if there's a bowl with rotten food, don't use the same bowl for fresh food, you know, all of them.
Things like that that might sound funny to you and I. Like, well, of course you're going to wash the bowl, right?
But God was laying it out for people, especially in Leviticus.
In that case, just saying, here are the things, here are the rules that you need to follow in order to be healthy, to be obedient to God, and God is looking out for your best interests.
So please follow these rules.
And of course what happened in history is that very often the Israelites turned against God and they made their own laws.
And sometimes certain factions of certain family members and so on, they would make their own laws or of course the Babylonians and so on.
They would make their own laws, not obedient to God, and then God would unleash all kinds of horrific things, plagues upon the Pharaoh of Egypt, set my people free, or we will destroy all your crops and all your cattle.
And you know the rest of the story.
So, remember this, that abundance, from God's point of view, at least as described in the Old Testament, abundance includes natural medicine abundance of the molecules, what I call God's molecules that are found in the foods, the herbs, the fresh vegetables, and so on.
But when you turn against God, then you lose your crops.
You lose this source of wealth and nourishment.
And I find it interesting that so many Christians today, they don't talk about God's molecule.
They don't talk about the natural medicine that's found in all these amazing plants and herbs and foods.
So what we're going to talk about today is known as apples.
But Dr.
James A. Duke is quite an academic.
He studied the Old Testament.
He studied all of Scripture, but also he studied nutrients and herbs and fruits and so on.
And what he reminds us is that the word apple probably meant apricots.
So as Scripture was translated and in some cases the term apple was used almost generically or the word fruit was used to encompass lots of different types of fruits.
But in the Bible they would just say fruit, especially in the Old Testament.
But some of those fruits would have been apples.
Some of those fruits would have been pomegranates, or figs, or oranges, or even...
Apricots, or some people pronounce it apricots.
And James Duke points out in his book that apricots are still known in Cyprus as, quote, golden apples.
Isn't that interesting?
And so the verse that's relevant here, I'm going to read it for you out of the New King James Version.
Yeah, that's what we've got here.
And remember that God is laying down the law to the Israelites, many of whom had turned against him.
So let me give you a little bit of context here.
We're going to start with verse 7 of Deuteronomy chapter 32.
Remember the days of old.
Consider the years of many generations.
Ask your father and he will show you your elders and they will tell you when the most high divided their inheritance to the nations.
When he separated the sons of Adam, he set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel.
For the Lord's portion is his people.
Jacob is the place of his inheritance.
He found him in a desert land and in a wasteland, a howling wilderness.
He encircled him.
He instructed him.
He kept him as the apple of his eye.
And there's the word apple, which, of course, is used metaphorically here.
As an eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreading out its wings, taking them up and so on.
And so it's talking about the support that the Lord gave to Jacob.
But part of that support is also fruit.
So the word apple here is not just used metaphorically.
It's also that you have to have nourishment.
You have to have food and bountiful yields of various crops in order to have a civilization.
But as Dr.
James Duke writes, that based on prevailing scholarship, studying the Bible and the civilizations of that time, apples as we know them today were actually not indigenous to the Mediterranean, especially during the time of the Old Testament.
They were not there.
They didn't have apples.
And so they referred to apricots as apples, and apricots are native to China.
And so apricot seeds were, of course, transported to the Mediterranean.
Apricots, quote, have long been abundant in Israel and were most probably introduced in biblical times.
But it would be weird to say the apricot of one's eye.
And so the saying has become the apple of his eye.
Now, why is this relevant to God's medicine?
Because apricots contain kernels.
Obviously, the term apricot kernels refers to those.
And apricot kernels contain a compound known as laetrile.
Or, you may have heard it referred to as vitamin B17. Now, that was a designation given to it by man.
You know, God doesn't refer to his nutrients as vitamins.
Certainly not with numbers.
But laetrile, as Dr.
James Duke writes...
These are compounds that can either cure or kill depending on dosage.
And in addition, the kernels produce an edible oil that's sometimes used as a substitute for almond oil.
Dr.
Duke warns that the apricot kernel is toxic because it contains prussic acid or hydrogen cyanide, and then he refers to the laetrile-like compounds.
But we've learned a lot about apricot pits since then and laetrile and vitamin B17. We'll talk about that in a second.
But a couple more quotes here.
Dr.
Duke also quotes from Solomon, an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but saying in biblical days, Solomon said, quote, comfort me with apples for I am sick.
So that's kind of like the Old Testament version of an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
And then James Duke goes on to remind us that in Afghanistan they use apricot seeds as almonds, that in China they use the kernels of apricots For almond cookies or to be made into a type of flour.
And I've had...
There are a lot of drink mixes, because you know I lived in Asia for a couple of years.
There are many drink mixes in Taiwan, China, and Hong Kong that rely on either a combination of almond seed, almond flour, or apricot seed flour.
And some of these are sort of instant drink mixes that are marketed for good health.
Now, just to be clear, as a disclaimer, I don't want you to interpret anything I'm offering here as medical advice, or I'm not intending to replace your naturopathic physician.
Do your own research on your own medical situation if you have one.
What I'm offering you here are citations from the Bible combined with what we know today about modern nutrition and natural medicine.
Because it turns out the story of so-called apples or apricots is much deeper than what the Bible itself covers.
And this story picks up in the 1950s and 1960s in the United States when a man named John A. Richardson, a doctor who had a clinic in San Francisco, he began using Laetrile as an anti-cancer treatment medicine.
And then he wrote a book, originally published in 1977, that documented the application of Laetrile, again, from apricot seeds, or what the Bible calls apples.
He documented this in a book called Laetrile Case Histories, The Richardson Cancer Clinic Experience.
That book was updated in 2005 and is available now if you want to purchase it.
And then one of his friends was G. Edward Griffin, who's also the author of The Creature from Jekyll Island, who writes about the formation of the Federal Reserve in 1913.
Well, G. Edward Griffin also wrote another book about Laetrile.
It was called World Without Cancer.
That book is one of the first books that I ever read on health and nutrition.
And in that book, as G. Edward Griffin lays out, with the help of Dr.
John Richardson, by the way, he lays out the very compelling case that cancer tumors can be selectively Destroyed in the body by the laetrile that's found in apricot seeds.
The same laetrile that is toxic at high doses, and this is why you shouldn't just grab a handful of apricot seeds and chow down, and they taste quite strong anyway.
Your mouth will tell you to spit them out probably.
But some people, and again, this is not medical advice.
I'm not your doctor, so please don't take this in that way.
But some people, I should say many people, have used apricot kernels as a form of natural medicine in order to prevent or treat with the help of naturopathic physicians.
They have treated various diagnoses of cancer.
And laetrile has been described as a kind of Naturopathic chemotherapy.
It is apparently very toxic or cytotoxic to cancer cells, but at the proper dose, it is not toxic to the rest of the body.
So there's something about laetrile, and I don't know all the chemistry offhand, but But there's something about laetrile that attracts it to cancer tumors and cancer cells where it destroys those cells.
The cells take up the toxic components of the laetrile compounds and then those cells end up killing themselves off while the rest of the cells in the body are okay.
But then again, if someone were to take in a massive dose of this, they could actually kill themselves.
They could kill the whole body.
In fact, there's a warning in this book by Dr.
James Duke.
It says, This is talking about the fruit.
And that's talking about the fruit, the apricot fruit.
So I do want to encourage you once again, be cautious with what you're taking in, especially if you're pregnant or expecting to become pregnant.
So be cautious about things and also know what you're doing and get good guidance from a naturopathic physician who knows this subject.
Now James Duke goes on to say that, quote, apricots are said to be a folk remedy for cancer.
And he says that after chewing sweet apricots, Tibetans apply them for eye disorders.
And a paste obtained by crushing sweet apricot kernels is used for inflammation of the eyes.
And in Chinese medicine, fruit of the bitter almond is useful in heart disease.
So I don't happen to know the Chinese name of this herb.
I do know a few of the other Chinese herbs' names in Mandarin Chinese, like Du Zhong, for example, which is a fantastic herb for kidney health.
But bitter apricot kernels are one of the ingredients that's used in traditional Chinese medicine herbal formulas, or TCM. So if you go visit a TCM practitioner, which is a very enlightening experience often, by the way, very helpful experience, they will conduct things such as looking at your tongue, which makes a lot of sense because the condition of your tongue is a microcosm of what's going on in your body, especially with your cardiovascular system.
They will also feel your pulse and do a pulse analysis And a pulse analysis is not just counting your heartbeats, which is mostly how Western medicine looks at your pulse.
It's just a number.
But in Chinese medicine, there are qualities to the pulse.
There's a quality on the leading edge of the pulse, the side that's beginning the beat or conducting the beat.
And then there's a quality on the falling side of the beat.
And then there's a quality of what happens between the beats.
And it's really remarkable that an experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioner can tell more about your health in less than five minutes feeling your pulse than an MRI machine typically, especially for cardiovascular related issues. especially for cardiovascular related issues.
So TCM practitioners know about the healing properties of apricot kernels.
But if you know anything about traditional Chinese medicine, you also know that they don't give you isolated molecules in strong or high doses.
For example, the herb ephedra.
Which is called ma huang in Chinese medicine.
And this is a stimulant and it can increase heart rate.
Well, a few years ago, many years ago, there were Western nutritional supplement companies that were bottling ma huang herb or just a feature.
They were bottling it as weight loss drugs and encouraging people to take six or eight pills and those people would have heart palpitations.
And I think a couple of people died And then the FDA jumped on that and used that to ban ma huang from the United States, which is crazy because it took it out of traditional Chinese medicine, where ma huang is part of a formula that is highly effective against pandemics.
Yes.
But you see, in traditional Chinese medicine, they know to use these in balance, not to just give somebody a super dose of one isolated molecule.
And even in the Bible, when it says to eat the fruit, it's saying to eat the whole fruit, eat the whole food.
Not to take an extract of one molecule and then hyperdose on that one molecule.
That's where toxicity comes into play.
A great example of that is the coca plant that is widely grown in Central and South America.
Coca leaf tea is commonly served in countries like Peru.
And when I visited Peru many years ago and we were climbing up to Machu Picchu, which you had to cross this mountain range at very high elevation.
It was about a one-week hike, by the way.
And we were up and around, I don't know, 14,000 or 15,000 feet elevation going through a pass called Dead Woman's Pass.
I wonder how it got that name.
Well, it turns out that if you want to make it through Dead Woman's Pass and not become a dead man or woman, you may need coca leaf tea.
And in fact, coca leaf tea is simply a water concoction of the coca plant.
And coca leaf tea is routinely served in the hotels and the restaurants in Peru, you know, in various cities like Lima or Cusco and so on.
And it's not illegal.
It's not crazy.
Nobody gets addicted to coca leaf tea.
But if you're going to hike up 14,000 feet and try to not die, then it turns out that the energy of The stimulation and endurance of the coca leaf plant when used in its full spectrum miracle, right?
It's not just, let's say, cocaine, which would be the isolated extract.
It's all kinds of natural nutrients and minerals and vitamins that work in conjunction with each other to provide support without toxicity.
And this is one of the big differences between natural medicine versus Western medicine, of course.
Western medicine likes to take extracts out of plants and turn them into very potent but often sometimes very dangerous drugs.
Or in the case of coca leaves, the coca plant, it is highly processed into cocaine and then used as an illegal recreational drug, obviously, all over the world.
And that's, I don't even know how valuable that trade is in terms of Maybe tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
I have no idea.
But you can see the difference.
So cocaine comes from the coca plant.
But cocaine is a dangerous drug that can kill you, whereas the coca leaf tea is a full-spectrum phytonutrient concoction of a natural plant that can save your life.
And that's the difference.
And this kind of discernment is very important for us to remember as we learn about foods in the Bible or nutrients in the Bible or again what I call God's molecules.
We need to remember that God wants us to eat whole foods and to take for the most part whole or full spectrum nutrients.
God usually doesn't want us to just divide up a plant into its parts and then just take one of the parts.
Although there are exceptions to that.
One of the exceptions would be resveratrol, which is a very potent natural molecule.
It's almost a miracle molecule for preventing heart disease and enhancing cardiovascular function.
And this molecule is found in a couple of places.
One is Japanese knotweed, not something you're probably growing.
It's also found in the leaves of wild grape plants or sometimes cultivated grape plants.
But it's found in such low concentrations that an extract is necessary in order to get it to a dosage where it can be therapeutic and medicinal.
And much the same could be said with cannabinoids coming out of hemp plants, for example.
There are carbon dioxide extractions from hemp that can then concentrate certain cannabinoids, CBDA being one of them.
It's known as cannabidiolic acid.
And it's a very fragile molecule.
It can be broken down by simple heat.
If you just leave it in your car, it'll break down CBDA into CBD, which is not nearly as beneficial.
But CBDA, when extracted appropriately from the hemp plant, can be incredibly therapeutic.
So there are exceptions to this general rule, but as a rule of thumb, Be cautious, especially when there is toxicity associated with any single molecule or any single mineral or nutrient coming out of a plant.
Be very cautious and understand that the most natural form is the whole form, to eat it as part of a food or an herb in its whole form.
Now, one of the things that we have also learned since the days of the Old Testament is that fruits also tend to bind with dietary toxins, and they help ferret those toxins out of your body through your digestive tract.
And I actually did quite a bit of research in this area using the MassSpec laboratory that I founded, and I have a couple of patents on file with the U.S. Patent Office.
And one of those patents is called Heavy Metals Defense.
And it describes a method of combining certain ingredients.
It's all listed in the patent.
In a way that absorbs lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium, and other metals as well, other toxic elements, it absorbs them or really locks onto them.
And then it allows those to just be moved through your body and eliminated with regular bowel movements.
And one of the most interesting things that I found in this research, which was entirely unexpected, is that the most powerful fruit fiber for achieving this effect – Now, step back for a moment.
You probably know that pectin, that's a type of fruit fiber.
Many people talk about pectin for eliminating radiation that might be in food that you consume, and that's true.
Many people talk about grapefruit seed fibers or extracts.
That's a completely different topic, but any kind of the citrus fruit fibers are very good in terms of functioning as a method of sweeping toxins out of your digestive tract.
Remember, just because you eat something doesn't mean it's absorbed in your blood.
If the food that you're consuming can latch onto it, And then sweep it out of your system, then it never goes into your blood and you're able to eliminate it.
But the single most powerful form of fruit fiber that we found for achieving this comes from strawberries.
And it's those translucent strands that you probably never noticed that connect the strawberry seeds which are on the outside of the fruit to the inner core of the fruit itself.
Now I know you might be saying, what are you talking about?
I've never seen that.
Well, exactly, because they're translucent.
So for most fruits, the seeds are in the center, right?
Think about it.
Apricots, as we're talking about, there's a pit in the center, or peaches, or cherries, or apples have the little apple seeds in the core, correct?
And this is traditionally the way, I mean, cantaloupe, it's the same.
Look at a strawberry next time.
Where are the seeds in a strawberry?
They're all on the outside.
They are dotting the outside of the fruit.
Well, how are those seeds formed?
Well, there has to be a passageway of nutrients to those seeds during the formation of the fruit.
And that little nutrient highway is actually a very, very rugged and almost indestructible translucent strand.
I don't even know what this strand is called.
But I know that they are impervious to nitric acid digestion.
And I know this because these little strands have clogged up the nebulizer in our ICP-MS mass spec instruments where we test for heavy metals.
So normally we take foods and we drop them into a mixture of mostly nitric acid and then the foods are completely obliterated by the nitric acid.
It's got a little bit of hydrochloric acid in there as well, like 0.5%.
And it turns the food into just liquid.
So now all the food is soluble in these acids.
And then this acid mixture contains everything that was in the original food.
And what you do is through some intricate plumbing that's part of this instrument, it sprays a little bit of that through a nebulizer.
Into a plasma torch, actually, and then the instrument measures, well, it counts the number of elements of lead and arsenic and mercury and aluminum and nickel and magnesium and all the other elements, virtually all of them.
But when we try strawberries, these little strands clog up the nebulizer, which has a very, very tiny front nozzle in order to achieve the atomization or kind of the nebulizing spraying of this mixture.
I can't tell you how many times I've looked at that under a microscope and I've seen, you know, these strawberry fibers are there.
Well, what does that tell you?
It tells you that if you eat strawberries, these strawberry fibers remain intact as fibers all throughout your digestive system.
And it turns out that those fibers will latch onto lead or various forms of lead, not just lead.
I'm not talking about just free atomic elements.
I'm talking about various forms of lead and cadmium bound with other molecules and so on.
The strawberry fibers will mop it up like a broom from the inside of your body and they will sweep those out of your body and you will eliminate them and you may not realize it, but during that process of elimination, Pardon my words, but you're pooping out strawberry fiber brooms with whatever toxins they happen to sweep up along the way.
And that's a good thing.
And that's part of God's medicine, God's molecules.
You didn't know this, but God put little brooms in the strawberries.
And all you have to do is eat the strawberries and And you get a sweeping out effect that is more powerful than any other fruit that we have ever tested.
Isn't that interesting?
Now, please note, by the way, that strawberries are one of the crops that is most heavily sprayed with toxic pesticides.
Those pesticides are Satan's molecules because they are molecules of death.
So be sure that when you buy strawberries that you're buying organic pesticides.
Because they have not been sprayed with toxic synthetic molecules and it's not enough to just wash the strawberries if they've been grown with pesticides because the pesticides are embedded throughout the fruit.
So keep in mind that When we are practicing this philosophy here of God's molecules to detoxify our bodies, don't trade one form, one good thing, for some other bad thing that you get at the same time, right?
You might think, well, I'm eating strawberries, I'm cleaning out the system, I'm getting all the sweeping effects of these strawberry fibers, but then you're taking in all these pesticides.
And so now you have a different problem.
So if you can, if you are able, and I know it's expensive, I understand that.
Foods are incredibly expensive right now and it's only getting worse because of, you know, money printing and loss of the value of the dollar and so on, which is a whole different sermon, but buy organic strawberries if you can.
And keep that in mind with other fruits as well.
Often you can buy frozen organic strawberries much more cheaply than fresh.
And that's because the spoilage rate is a lot less, so the losses are less.
And so they can price organic frozen strawberries more cheaply.
Well, if that's an option for you, go ahead and do that because the freezing of the strawberry does not destroy the fiber.
So you can take frozen strawberries and yes, you can blend them.
You can put them in a blender, and guess what?
Those fibers are still there.
Those fibers are not destroyed by blending it.
Just like you can't destroy the color pigments of blueberries in a blender.
Someone once asked me that question.
If I blend it too much, is it destroying all the molecules?
Well, if it were, then the blueberry smoothie would no longer be blue.
Right?
Because the anthocyanins...
Those are the blue pigments.
So if you have a blender that's powerful enough to blend the blue out of blueberries, then that's some special kind of hypersonic nuclear fusion blender right there.
But I've never seen a blender like that.
Every blender I've ever seen blends up blueberries and they are still blue, which tells you the molecules are all still there.
By the way, compared to the size of the blade, these molecules are tiny.
Anyway, the strawberry fibers are much larger than anthocyanins, of course.
I mean, thousands of times larger.
The fibers could theoretically be cut by a blender blade, but they would just make shorter segments of fibers that still function like a broom.
So don't be afraid to blend up fruits and buy frozen fruits as long as they're organic and use them in your smoothies or in your meals or what have you because they are a form of natural medicine.
So we're going to be talking about this quite a bit more.
Many upcoming sermons will focus on various foods and herbs and superfoods in the Bible.
And I'll bring in my experience as a food scientist.
And a published laboratory scientist who's developed methods for the quantitation of cannabinoids, for example, using mass spec instrumentation.
Or some of my observations about fruits or foods and testing them and which ones resist digestion and nitric acid.
Hey, here's one more note along those lines.
You're aware that you have stomach acid.
Probably.
And stomach acid consists of a very tiny amount of hydrochloric acid.
But did you know that your stomach acid is incredibly weak?
Shockingly so.
A few years back when I was working on that patent, I wanted to build a digestion simulator.
And so I had to look up how to make stomach acid.
And it turns out that stomach acid is, I couldn't believe how weak it was, a little bit of hydrochloric, mostly water, and it barely dissolves anything, it turns out.
So if you take foods and just put them in a vial of, let's say, stomach acid or hydrochloric acid, you can swish them around for hours.
It doesn't do much.
It doesn't break them down much at all.
Now, there's more to your digestive tract, of course, as it continues on.
Then there's a lot of bile that comes into play and there's bacteria in your gut and so on.
But if you're having difficulty with digestion, please understand that the hydrochloric acid in your stomach It's not as strong as you may have thought it was.
You do need probiotics.
You do need enzymes.
And this is why it makes sense to consume raw fruits and vegetables so that the digestive enzymes remain intact in that case.
And that's why it's also not a great idea to consume homogenized milk.
Because if you go out and buy milk, cow's milk, let's say, and mostly in the stores it's pasteurized, And it's homogenized.
And the homogenization artificially modifies the fat molecules in order to make sure that the fats don't separate from the rest of the milk, which makes it easier to sell, has a better shelf life, it looks better for consumers.
But that's not the way milk was meant to be consumed.
That's not the way milk comes out of the cow to nourish the baby cow.
So the way God intended milk to be consumed is raw milk, fresh milk, non-homogenized, non-pasteurized.
So isn't it interesting that in many states like Pennsylvania, the government is at war with the raw milk farmers.
They don't want you to sell raw milk.
They will say that's dangerous.
It's so dangerous to have raw milk.
It might have pathogens in it.
It might have all kinds of critters in it.
You need to buy this heavily processed, pasteurized, homogenized milk.
Which is not natural.
And perhaps in another sermon, we can talk about the differences in more detail.
But God's milk would be the milk that comes from the mother.
In the case of humans, it would be mother's milk, breast milk.
That's God's milk.
Or in the case of bovine milk, it would be the milk that comes straight out of the cow, fresh, raw milk.
Satan's milk, if you want to put it this way, would be modifications of God's milk that alters the molecules into a way that makes them, in some cases, toxic.
So in every food or in every crop, even if you start with God's molecules, there's a way for satanic forces to alter it and make it deadly or dangerous.
At the same time, since we're covering apricot kernels today, it's also important to understand that even in God's molecules, there's a dosage boundary that's very important to pay attention to, because some of God's molecules are cytotoxic to cancer cells at certain low doses, but can become more cytotoxic to healthy cells at very high doses.
So in other words, you ever heard the saying, the dosage is the poison?
That almost any substance can be therapeutic at a certain dose or toxic at a much higher dose?
And many of you who perhaps use homeopathic remedies, you understand this in great detail, where sometimes there's not even one molecule of a homeopathic remedy in the final product.
There's simply the, you could say, the vibration of those molecules or the energy or the quality of those molecules is what's remaining.
And that's why homeopathic remedies can be based on toxic substances, even though they themselves contain no toxic molecules whatsoever.
And in certain cases, depending on the remedy and the symptom, these remedies can have therapeutic effects, even though they're based on originally toxic molecules.
So we have to have discernment in all of this.
We must be wise.
We must be cautious.
We need to know what we're doing.
And it's always good to get help from a qualified naturopathic practitioner if you have health questions.
And as always, don't listen to this sermon and just think that I'm your doctor and I'm telling you what to take and how much to take because that's not the case.
I'm giving you guidance.
That combines the wisdom of the Bible with modern day knowledge of health and nutrition where I have decades of experience and I'm just combining these two to give you the best picture I can to help support your health, your longevity, your joy, your abundance.
So that's today's sermon, and we will have more like this.
We'll be talking about specific foods or specific substances that can be therapeutic.
And we will be citing not only from the book by James A. Duke here, it's called Herbs of the Bible, 2,000 Years of Plant Medicine, but other books as well.
And also understand that it's not just the history of Christianity that involves herbs, of course.
If you look at other ancient religions, such as, well, Hinduism, for example, then you get into the history of Ayurvedic medicine.
And, of course, ancient citizens of India, they were building civilizations, you know, 3,000 plus years ago as well.
That's 1,500 years before Exodus was written in the Old Testament.
Think about that.
And China, same story.
In China, they had civilization 3,000 to 4,000 BC, by the way.
And, oh, I just misspoke about India.
I meant 3,000 BC. I didn't mean 3,000 years ago.
I meant 3,000 BC. India had an ancient civilization.
And also 3,000 BC or even 4,000 BC, ancient China had a civilization, right?
And there were also ancient civilizations around those times known as Mesoamerican civilizations which eventually became the Aztec, the Mayans, the Inca with their Quechua language and so on.
And then that morphed into over time what became Native Americans.
And in every one of these cultures, India, China, Mesoamerican culture, guess what they all had?
They all had systems of medicine based on plants.
Every one of them.
And then in those cultures, of course, especially in Hinduism and India, then those plants and those medicines became very tightly integrated with their faith, their expressions of religion.
And whether or not you agree with their faith or their gods or what have you, my point is that throughout the world, beyond the Middle East, beyond Israel and beyond the Christian Bible, there are many, many examples of civilizations that incorporated botanical medicine, many examples of civilizations that incorporated botanical medicine, which is God's molecules, right?
Wherever they are, even in India, who created those molecules in India?
In the curry spices?
Well, God did.
God created those.
Who created the natural molecules in Chinese medicine?
God did.
Who created the molecules in Tibetan medicine?
God did, by the way, and also in Amazonian medicine and Australian, Aborigine medicine, and so on and so forth.
All over the world, they all relied on God's molecules, which became God's medicine.
So most of the world uses God's medicine, not Western medicine.
That's right.
70-80% of the world's population relies on God's medicine, not Western medicine, not mankind's molecules.
So think about that.
And this is why understanding God's medicine is so crucial for us and for the future of human civilization.
Because Western medicine has proven that it is highly toxic, it is very deadly, And it is rooted in deception and profits, where God's medicine is rooted in abundance and freedom and health and love, by the way.
You know, instead of greed, a big pharma greed, vaccine industry greed, you know, health insurance greed, all that, God just gives you the medicine for free and says, here it is, just walk out into the field, walk into the forest, check it out, it's all out there for free, if you are wise enough to recognize it.
And that's what we're trying to accomplish here, is to just bring you the wisdom so that we can recognize the natural healing molecules that are all around us.
Sometimes they're just called apples.
Sometimes they're just called seeds or sprouts or whatever.
It's medicine from God.
