A Book For Seventh-Day Adventists
Important Introduction
Warm greetings to you
my dear reader. It is my sincere prayer that the information in this
book will be of great benefit to you and to yours, and ultimately to
the great cause of God.
There is no question
that a great work is being done in the field of medicine. There is
also no question that much suffering is being alleviated, and that
many lives are being saved as a result of the sincere efforts of
well-meaning physicians and nurses. One shudders to even imagine a
world without hospitals, without medical technology, and without
trauma units, etcetera, . . .
While it is true that
drugs are often over-prescribed, we simply have to admit that there
are times when drugs are absolutely necessary. While it is true that
there is often an element of racketeering in certain fields of
medicine, we also need to recognize that there are a great many
wonderful, honest, self-sacrificing individuals involved in this
industry. While it is true that much of medicine focuses heavily on
the cure of disease, and only lightly on disease prevention, it is
encouraging to note that there is a worldwide swing towards a more
holistic and preventive approach.
Nevertheless, as much
as I am persuaded to sound the praises of orthodox medicine, my
private studies of the inspired counsel, my intimate involvement in
the health food industry for over 25 years, and my personal experience
with thousands of individuals, have all led me to the conclusion that
a great and very tragic mistake has been made – a mistake that is
costing humanity dearly. The first few chapters of this book deal with
this mistake. The latter chapters deal with God’s infinitely better
way of practicing the healing arts.
May God will bless your
reading of this book, and may He convict you to share this vital,
life-saving message with others. |
