Natural Whole Food for Prevention and Cure of Diseases
Paul Wong
God has given each person a body
that is “fearfully
and wonderfully made.” (Psm. 139:14) In order to live a healthful life we need food
that has natural nutrients which is provided by God. “And God said, ‘See, I have given you every herb that yields
seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields
seed; to you it shall be for food.” (Gen. 1:29).
When there is something
wrong with our bodies we become sick. The
healing can also be found in God’s words – the Holy Bible. When the Israelites came to Marah the water was bitter and they could not drink
it. The LORD showed Moses a tree; “and when he cast it into the waters, the waters were made
sweet. There He made a statute and an
ordinance for them. And there He tested
them, and said, ‘If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do
what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His
statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals
you.” (Ex. 15:22-26)
Keeping of God’s
commandments is highly essential for God’s people to maintain good health. God has given the Israelites clear
instructions on what foods not to eat so that their bodies will not be defiled
(Leviticus 11). Defilement of the body
is caused by foods that have toxins.
Healing cannot occur unless the toxins are first eradicated from the
body. This process is called
detoxification. God showed Ezekiel the
vision of a river. “Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will
grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their
fruit will not fail. They will bear
fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their
leaves for medicine.” (Ezek. 47:8-12)
This vision may be interpreted literally or spiritually, but the last
part of verse 12 is highly significant.
My understanding of good natural
food is anything you can eat or drink which requires minimum or no processing
to extract a particular nutrient. Examples
are solid or juice forms of animal and vegetable food products like herbs,
grasses, fruits, nuts, berries, vegetables, oils, and meats. If it
is something that requires special processing to extract a particular vitamin
or mineral, it is no longer a natural food but has become a supplement or a
drug.
Natural whole food (ideally
"fresh" or "live" whole food) of vegetable origin should
form the basis of our diets and medicine. This includes grain, nuts, fruit, berries, and
vegetables, both from the land and from the sea. This excludes the majority of
concocted and refined foods, or those manufactured or processed in such a way
that they get contaminated with parasites, bacteria, and poisonous chemicals. Some body types are able to digest and utilize
low-fat animal protein without bad effects. For proper digestion, food should not be
cooked or raised to a temperature above 105 degrees because high temperatures
kill enzymes needed in the digestion process.
Since the body is composed of certain
basic elements and compounds, those need to be replenished by the diet. Therefore, if the selection of foods we eat
cannot be relied upon to provide those elements, we need to ingest them as
dietary supplements. Such foods should be devoid of elements that poison the
body.
