The Path to Healing

Many of us suffer from ailments for which the causes are lifestyle related.

     What we eat,
       
           the amount of sleep we get each night,

               our frequency of exercise,

                    exposure to fresh air and sunlight,

                            the amount of water we drink.

                                  our emotional well being and so on

                                        impact how we feel both physically and mentally.

The following quotes were taken from the book The Ministry of Healing by E. G. White p. 127.

Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water, trust in divine power - these are the true remedies.

Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health.

In case of sickness,
  1. the cause should be ascertained. 
  2. Unhealthful conditions should be changed
  3. wrong habits corrected.                                                                                       
Then nature is to be assisted in her effort to expel impurities and to re-establish right conditions to the system.

The use of natural remedies requires an amount of care and effort that many are not willing to give.  Nature's process of healing and upbuilding is gradual, and to the inpatient it seems slow. The surrender of hurtful indulgences requires sacrifice. But in the end it will be found that nature, untrammeled, does her work wisely and well.  Those who persevere in obedience in her laws will recap the reward in 
health of body and health of mind.

Barbara O'Neill, a Naturopath and Nutritionist from Australia, speaks on how we can give the body the conditions it needs to heal itself.  This video is filled with practical tips and information.


We have a major role to play in our health.  One book that has been a blessing to me as I strive to improve health is The Ministry of Healing by Ellen G. White.  This book is available for free online at The Ministry of Healing.  I hope this book is a blessing to you also.
