27 Health Myths that are wrong. Excerpts from The Maker's Diet

These are taken from “The Maker’s Diet” by Jordan Rubin.
It is an amazing story of how we need to get back to homeopathic remedies rather than doctors and hospitals. God has given us everything we need on earth and in our bodies. The key to getting health and not getting sick is to keeping the body in working order with what God has given our bodies to work right and the natural things that He made.
There are 27 of these myths, so I will be posting 3 every one of my blog days!! I will also be posting what we do or believe about these Myths.
4. Take megavitamins
The use of massive amounts if vitamins and minerals is very unnatural--especially the popular and cheap synthetic and isolated “vitamins" created in chemical plants and widely sold in discount retail stores. The human body was not designed to consume such artificial products, especially in such excessive amounts. Nature prevents us from consuming 20,000mg of vitamin C in one day because it is impossible to consume 300 oranges in one day. Even if you could, it would produce one major colon cleanse! Vitamins and minerals that have not been incorporated into an organic matrix--- a natural food form containing all necessary cofactors---may actually be harmful to the body. It is better to supplement healthy food and beverage choices with living food supplements known as homeostatic nutrients rich in vitamins and minerals. This is a balanced form the body can absorb and utilize.
5. Use fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash, and drink fluoride water.
Fluoride is extremely poisonous—especially the salt-based used in toothpaste and mouthwash. (Besides, its effectiveness is questionable at best.) A top EPA advisor voiced the opinion that “since recent federal government tests have shown that fluoride appears to cause cancers at levels less than ten times the present maximum contamination level, this would ordinarily require that all additions of fluoride to water supplies be suspended and treatment be instituted to remove naturally occurring fluoride.” That would be enough warning for me! (By the way, I have no evidence that the EPA ever suspended fluoridation operations.) Choose nonfluoridated alternatives for oral hygiene and be safe.
6. Use artificial sweeteners and avoid sugars.
As bad as sugar can be in its various forms, artificial sweeteners are worse! Some are downright deadly because of their carcinogenic properties and their use in such high-volume products such as diet soda and sugar-free foods. Chief among sinners is aspartame, which is marketed as NutraSweet and Equal. Renowned diabetes expert Dr. H. J. Roberts believes there is a clear scientific link between aspartame and increased incidence of brain tumors, seizure disorders, chronic headaches, and hyperactivity in children. As for saccharin, the cancer-causing labels that accompany its use still apply. The newcomer on the block is sucralose (used in Splenda), but the jury of scientific research still seems to be awaiting further testimony on this one. (If the Maker didn’t produce it “as is” then it probably isn’t much better than the other synthetic sugar substitutes.)

My Thoughts on the 27 Health Myths
Published on September 23, 2006 at 9:44 PM

I posted about the 27 myths about health that is wrong. I thought I would give my opinion about these.
1. Stay out of the sun.
We are in the sun a lot, with the garden, goats (hopefully horses next year), riding bikes, and just playing. A lot of my family members get tans without a sunburn.
I have heard this about it being good that you are in the sun. I have also heard that the reason a lot of people get skin cancer is from really bad sunburns, prolonged sunburn, meaning getting them all the time, and from tanning beds. I don’t think all tanning beds are bad though. I knew a person who had skin condition which breaks out a lot that uses a tanning bed to help her skin in the winter.
All in all spend as much time in the sun and dirt as you can. In “The Maker’s Diet” they talk a lot about being in the dirt to keep a healthy gut. I could go really deep in about the gut. It is the most essential part of your body. If it doesn’t work right you could be in big trouble. I will go into this more later
2. Go to bed after midnight.
I actually had never heard this before. It makes sense though!!
This one is hard for me to accomplish. We usually don’t go to bed til around 1:30am. Although most of this week we went to bed around 12am or 12:30am. Only on the nites we watch SMALLVILLE is the nites we stay up late!! So I am going to try to start going to bed before midnite, so I don’t age before my time!!
Guess it brings new meaning to “Beauty Sleep”, huh??
3. Never let them see you sweat.
Never heard “never let them see you sweat”.
Sweating cleanses your body, just like going to the bathroom. And for those of you who want to lose weight, the way to get rid of your fat cells, is to sweat or go to the bathroom. That is why when you workout you sweat!!
About deodorant: We do not use any that have aluminum. That is kinda of dumb to use it anyway. I mean you want metals going straight into your blood stream from your glands?? I don’t think so.
We actually don’t cook or bake out of anything aluminum. If we did it would cook right into our food….EWW!!!! We have even tried to not drink pop out of aluminum cans. And do not set aluminum on cement. It is very bad. It will deteriorate it, causing it to leak in to whatever you would in it.
We have gotten rid of all the aluminum in the house. We even had to get rid of our pressure cooker because it was aluminum based.
So make sure to get any cookware and deodorant for aluminum before cooking or buying.
Some of the stuff in the book I didn’t know, but I did know quite a bit about some of the stuff. It is entirely based on the Bible and Biblical principles that the Israelites used to live for at least a hundred or more years. Just because the times have gotten later, doesn’t mean we can’t live that long or like them.
I just heard of a lady in South America that lived to be a whopping 116 years old. WOW!! She had lived to see like 5 generations of her family.
I hope that you will do you and your family’s health a favor: Get this book and read it!! It is chock full of things you need to know. I actually rented it from the library; so if you don’t want to buy it yet, go rent it. I know that I want to purchase this book for my personally library!!

Wow, very interesting. I know there is Vitamin D in Sunshine, my Dad told me to take the boys outside without sunscrean for like 15-20 minutes a day! They don't burn, they just get tan, so I quit using sunscreen unless they're going to be out ALL day in the pool or something. As for sweat??? I do a ginger bath that makes me sweat! It is definatly good to sweat the toxins out of your body! It all comes down to, if you don't sweat, you get sick! Real sick! Aluminum, I was drinking Mountain Dew at work one time (at the Bank) and it started tasting really funny. I looked and there was a paperclip in it. It tasted so bad like metal I couldn't drink it. so what does that tell ya??? YUCK! I guess my pressure canner, I'm not too worried about since the food is in jars when I use it. I don't ever use a presure canner to cook meat with like my Mom use to....
Anyway, it's always good for those little reminders on Health and Wellness! I have people tell me, "Well You have to die from something," To me that is a very poor attitude, why on earth would you want to get some horrible disease and die a slow death when you could live a healthy life, feeling great and die when it's God's time for you to die??? Well I could keep going, on and on.....

Very good information. I suppose we will always live in a world where people try to change what God has given us to live by. If we get to know him and His character, and know that He tells us these things because He loves us and wants us to live long, healthy lives, we will take these things into account. Unfortunately, we also live in a sinful world, where sin is all around us, and we see or experience it in some ways.
I am glad you are learning things that will help you and your family in the future!
Be Blessed!

We do not use deodorant with aluminum in it. Another thing we do not use is regular toothpaste with flouride in it. We use a kind of toothpaste called xyliwhite. It has xylitol in it. I never thought of aluminum bakeware being bad for you. I will have to tell my Mom that one!

27 Health Myths that are wrong. Excerpts from The Maker's Diet

God has given us everything we need on earth and in our bodies. The key to getting health and not getting sick is to keeping the body in working order with what God has given our bodies to work right and the natural things that He made.
There are 27 of these myths, so I will be posting 3 every one of my bog days!!
1. Stay out of the sun.
Civilizations throughout history have understood that the sun is vital to human health. The human skin uses the energy from the sun to manufacture vitamin D for the body. The hormone/vitamin is important for many reasons, including its role in strengthening immune system function and proper mineral absorption.
Critics claim that exposure to the UV rays of the sun cause higher rates of melanoma and other forms of skin cancer. This might be true for a small population segment---those with compromised immune systems who don’t consume adequate nutrients (especially healthy fats). However, the people who actually get the most exposure to sunlight in different parts of the world exhibit the lowest incident of skin cancer. The only logical explanation is that exposure to sunlight is not unhealthy.
What is unhealthy is exposure to sunlight with the diets we consume. Rex Russell, M.D., notes that when sunlight activates the phytochemicals in healthy foods, consumption of these foods not only block the harmful effects of UV rays, they also produce “antiviral, antibacterial, and anticancer components as well as other pests.”
2. Go to bed after midnight.
This is a great way to get sick. From biblical times to just before the Industrial Revolution, people used to go to sleep and rise with the setting of the sun. This is the natural way to link your peak activity to the body’s natural hormonal rhythms.
Dr. Joseph Mercola believes the timing of your sleep affects its quality. He says, “The more hours you sleep before midnight, the better off you will be.” He cites a study published in the Lancet (a respected medical journal in Great Britain) indicating chronic sleep loss produces serious symptoms mimicking the effects of aging and the early stages of diabetes(including age-related insulin resistance and memory loss). And finally, according to the late Elmer JosepSBOn, “Authorities tell us that one hour if sleep before midnight is equivalent to four hours afterward.”
3. Never let them see you sweat.
Any attempt to artificially prevent perspiration is very unhealthy because perspiration is the Maker’s method of safely cooling the body while excreting numerous toxins. Suppressing this natural sweat response in the underarms or other areas block the body’s cleansing process and the natural flow of the lymphatic system. Interference in normal lymphatic function may increase the risk of breast cancer. The products most often used to stop perspiration contain forms of aluminum, which has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease or other neurological problems: triclosan, an antimicrobial absorption through the skin that pose some risks to the liver; and zirconium-based compounds that can cause underarm granulomas. For more info about these products and possible alternative choices, see David Steinman and Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., “The Safe Shopper’s Bible”

Well, what has been done so far on the house is paid for other than what 1ds and Hubby has done. I hope some of the friends who said they would help will be able to fit it into their scheduels. ( praying ) We are trying to orgainise all the labor now for all the other stuff other wise we will have to pay for that too. I pray we can solve the issues and be in the house by Christmas. As I have said I don't know exactly the timing of being in the house. Just waiting on the Lord. (0: In His time things will come. God Bless.
I really appreciate your post. I am amazed how God has already been leading down this path and I have been applying some of these things. I hope when budget allows I can get this book.
In Him,
