GOD’S NATIVE HEALING METHOD
Amid the many health-care systems and “philosophies” relative to the healing art, the God of the Bible has His own peculiar, preeminent and approved method upon earth. It is not New Age, Allopathic, or “So-Called” Alternative Medicine. From the pure sense of the definition, all healing arts other than God System, would be ALTER-NATIVE (OTHER THAN – ORIGINAL). Gods’ method, as the Creator of all things, stands as the Native (Original) Method. This system is best defined as Bible (or Biblical) Hygiene.
When the term “Bible Hygiene” is used, many think of soap, water or anything that would be used to make something clean. This is because the word hygiene is often associated with cleanliness. What, however, is “Bible-Hygiene”? Firstly, the dictionary defines Hygiene as a SCIENCE! - the science relative to the preservation and restoration of health! This would include diet, dress, environment, mental state, and spirituality. Bible-Hygiene, simply, is this grand science as it has been revealed, by its Author, in the Holy Scriptures. From the original diet found in Genesis 1:29 to the “leaves of the tree for the healing of the nations” in Revelation 22:2, the Creator has much to say about the preservation and restoration of health.
Modern science is just catching up with the simple, yet profound principles of Bible Hygiene! Many of these wonderful Laws of Health have been lost sight of; despite their constant place in the Scriptures. Cancer, Heart Attack, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and many more have been recently said, by researchers of the leading “cure-seeking” foundations of these respective ailments, to be greatly avoided by following some of the most elementary principles of the Biblical Hygienic System. Bible Hygiene espouses eight fundamental Natural Laws or “Laws of Life” as a foundation for a program of lifestyle change: Trust in God, Open Air, Daily Exercise, Sunlight, Plenty of Rest, Lots of Water, Always Temperate (Self-Control), and Nutrition.
As Bible-Hygiene is a spiritual yet scientific system to remove disease and maintain health, we can expect its principles to caution its adherents against the transmission of disease via bacteria, germs or known carriers thereof. The injunction found in the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy to “be ye clean” and “wash thyself”, “with water” definitely are not purely “Jewish” rites or traditions. The thought that these principles are only for the Jewish nation despite its apparent universal health implications is not sound doctrine. The health and sanitary principles of the Bible were studied to plan and implement the sanitation procedures used in the major cities of today! All the laws of health and life are timeless and perpetual “as long as heaven and earth standeth”. Even today, if man violates these principles that have been revealed, first, by the Word of God and especially today by science, how can we escape disease and death.
Therefore, even today, God has a people who want “life and life more abundant” John 10:10. They find such wisdom and love in the Creators laws of health that give us counsel in regards to what foods would add “danger to our diet”! “Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsel and knowledge, that I might make thee to know the certainty of the words of truth...?” Proverbs 22:20, 21. We are certain of the power and truthfulness of Gods Word when we see these principles restore our health and keep us from illness.
