I have just gotten hold of the full scientific paper written by Dr. David L. Macht in 1953 about the fascinating experiment he and his colleagues (at Johns Hopkins University) did on the effects of the flesh and blood of clean and unclean animals on plant growth.  I am really excited about it and would like to share it with you all.  Please do take time to read it as it is not very long.  The results were simply amazing.  100% correlation was achieved.  Every animal that the Bible called unclean was found to be phytotoxic.  Those animals that were classified as clean were not.

Please note that keeping the dietary laws has nothing to do with spiritual acceptability or holiness.  It is all about health.

For a fuller grasp about the Old Testament Dietary Laws, please read the article which I wrote on this subject:

Together with Dr. Macht’s research paper, I hope it will fill us with wonder at the wisdom and kindness of God!

To quote Sir Isaac Newton:  “The Scriptures of God are the most sublime philosophy.  I find more such marks of authenticity in the Bible than in profane history anywhere.”

It had been a long day. The wake-up call at India’s Ravishankar Maharaj Eye Hospital was at 3:30 a.m. to drive to the Ahmedabad airport for a flight to Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). By evening, Howard Schiffer, founder of Vitamin Angels, was addressing a crowd of parents and children in the Kolkata’s Madhyamgram neighborhood. In this city of more than 13 million people, these children live in, at best, overly crowded conditions in two-story shanties and cement-block houses. Few homes have running water or proper sanitation.

But thanks to the Believers Church and its Bridge of Hope Project, these children will have vitamin A. An important new partner for Vitamin Angels’ India program, the Bridge of Hope group has arranged for Schiffer and his team to distribute vitamin A capsules and antiparasitic tablets. One of many in-country partners to Vitamin Angels, Bridge of Hope serves more than 12,000 poor children, both Christian and non, in and around Kolkata, India’s second-largest city. The children welcomed the Vitamins Angels team, throwing flowers at their feet and greeting them with songs, speeches and dances. Schiffer was in his element as he looked out at the sea of curious faces.

Hygiene, sanitation and water, as well as nutrition, are key to a solution for malnutrition-based blindness.

“Vitamin Angels believes every child has the right to grow up healthy,” he says. “Each of you has a gift to give India and the world. But to do that you have to be healthy, and vitamins help give you the best chance to be healthy.”  Read on …

Mike: I’m here today with Jordan Rubin, the chairman of Garden Of Life. Jordan, your books and products have been taking the nutritional world by storm. To what do you owe this success, and what is coming up in terms of products or information that people might be interested in learning about?

Rubin: You know, Mike, I think there are really a few reasons behind our success. Number one is that this company was founded based on a personal mission — really a responsibility that I feel I have to share this message of health and hope with the world. I’ve been given the greatest gift: God has given me an opportunity to go through a personal challenge that changed my life and, more importantly, come out of that with a desire and a purpose to transform the health of the world one life at a time.

We’ve got 65 percent of our country’s population overweight and 30 percent-plus that is obese — that’s nearly 20 percent greater than it was 20 years ago; that’s one percent a year. Cancer, heart disease and diabetes are on the rise. There are no age limits any more for osteoporosis and Parkinson’s disease, so I think people are very desperate for two things: Number one, they’re fearful of being sick, and number two, they have the desire to look great, so it’s the fear and greed thing.  Read on …

Is your town like mine? Pharmacy chain stores like Walgreen’s are springing up everywhere, and doing so like there is no tomorrow. The demand for one drug niche market, the prescription drug addiction market, is especially booming and unrelenting.

Consumers are asking their doctors for prescriptions to drugs they have seen advertised on television and in magazines, and more often than not the doctors oblige them. People just can’t seem to get enough of these magic pills.1

What has happened to our culture that turns otherwise sane, drug-free consumers into willing, life-long prescription drug addicts? We are being seduced and here’s how

A cute, animated ball is shown in a TV commercial, sadly bouncing around until taking a “feel better” magic pill. Presto chango; in the blink of the eye the once sad ball is now happy and joyful. So goes the storyline used to sell American consumers on a powerful antidepressant drug called Zoloft. The message? Life is better with Zoloft.  Read on …

Deadly Dangers May Be Lurking In Your Nearest Pill Bottle

Russian Roulette – it’s a rather innocent sounding term for a high stakes game with deadly consequences. First, you take a six-shot revolver and load one bullet into an empty chamber. Next, you cock the pistol, put it up to your head, and pull the trigger hoping that all you hear is a click instead of a bang. Your bang odds are one chance out of six, but if you keep playing this insane game long enough, you will eventually find that lonesome bullet.

That’s what got me thinking about a similar dead end game being played every day by millions of people taking prescription medication. Let’s call this one “Pharmaceutical Roulette,” only in this high-stakes game the potential killer isn’t a bullet, but a pharmaceutical drug lurking in your nearest pill bottle. Every year in America thousands of people die from pharmaceutical related side effects. Can you imagine the different perspective our society would have on this medical nightmare if these deaths were listed as casualties of war?

That’s right! Pharmaceutical drugs kill, perhaps not as fast as a bullet in many cases – but just as effectively. Stay on them long enough and you’re almost assured of the deadly consequences. Do you really think for one minute that the pharmaceutical industry cares if their gun goes off? They’re making an absurd amount of money selling you sickness. The combined profits of pharmaceutical companies annually are in the hundreds of billions of dollars.

They try their best to underplay how all the different pharmacological agents may interact within the body. The best they can do is provide you a virtual laundry list of potential adverse side effects that they tuck away in small print on their packaging while letting you be the Roulette guinea pig. Just look at the Vioxx scandal as an example.  Read on …

When was the last time you heard an honest debate on the flu shot where experts from both conventional and alternative medicine were allowed to present their facts and debate the issues? There are plenty of independent researchers not beholden to the drug companies that have a wealth of interesting information to share that if disseminated widely, would cause many to stop and think twice before getting jabbed with a flu shot. The one good thing we’ve hopefully learned is to get a second opinion before making any major medical decision. Getting a flu shot is a major medical decision.

CRUSADOR editor, Greg Ciola, is pleased to interview vaccine researcher Marry Tocco about the dangers of the flu shot. Before succumbing to fear thinking that you’ll die or become horribly sick if you don’t get a flu shot, listen to what Mary Tocco has to say first, pray about it, and decide for yourself whether you should take a shot after weighing all the facts.

Crusador: Why do you believe that people should not get a flu shot?

First, let us all agree that the flu is an inconvenience and usually not life threatening. The only time it is life threatening is if someone is immune deficient. When you consider what is in the shot and how it is made, the toxic ingredients and additives are much worse for the body than the illness. Most people, including doctors, do not know what additives, preservatives or adjuvant are in this shot and therefore, do not understand how dangerous this vaccine can be.  Read on …

Crusador Interviews Mike Adams

CRUSADOR Interviews Health Ranger Mike Adams Who Says That Everything We Have Been Taught About Health, Disease, Food and Medicine Is Utterly False

Mike Adams has come to be known as the Health Ranger because he spends most of his waking hours writing, teaching, and interviewing experts on important health issues. Adams is someone we can trust and listen to because he used to be chronically diseased with borderline obesity, diabetes, depression, and severe back pain. He used to visit doctors and follow their advice, and he used to eat anything he wanted: sodas, pizza, donuts, milk, hamburgers……you name it.

In a desperate search for answers to his health problems, Adams discovered that everything he had ever been told about health — by his doctors, schools and even our own government — was a lie. Those lies explain why we are all so diseased today, burdened with cancer, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis and many other diseases that are entirely preventable.

On his popular website www.newstarget.com, Adams says that: “The vast majority of all diseases can be easily prevented and even cured without drugs or surgery. Real cures exist right now for diabetes, cancer, heart disease, depression, osteoporosis, and many other so-called ‘diseases.’ They are simple, straightforward, and readily available to virtually everyone. I can show any person how to reverse type-2 diabetes in a few weeks, for example. And I can teach anyone how to prevent and avoid every major chronic disease, using strategies that are largely available free of charge.”

If you’re looking for some real answers to life-long health, answers that can show you how to be free of disease, free of all prescription drugs, free of pain and suffering, and free of the lies and deceptions of food companies, drug companies and the whole backward system of organized medicine, then you’re in for a treat as Health Ranger Mike Adams shares his testimony with CRUSADOR editor Greg Ciola in this enlightening interview.  Read on …

What is intentionally misnamed health care for political and economic reasons should be adequately called “sick care.” This gigantic, self-feeding, social cancer is bankrupting our nation and the global economy at a whopping 1.3 trillion dollars a year, with over 90 percent of the money spent in the last 30 days of human life.

Mass media propaganda covers the daily arguments of puppet politicians ignorantly presenting their hopelessly pathetic plans of how to manage health care, when in reality their health care programs fund and support expensive treatments for symptom suppression of disease and illness, not cures. Real health care is diametrically opposed in method and process to toxic pharmaceuticals and risky surgical procedures. It’s sick care, which has nothing to do with health.

We need to closely examine the misdirection of this illusionary pseudoscience called health care, that bases their scientific research on false premises of the Germ Theory of Disease. Many doctors from their own ranks are openly admitting that conventional medicine is a colossal failure and a disease epidemic in and of itself, claiming more lives annually than alcohol, abortions, homicides, suicides and tobacco combined.

Millions have suffered and died prematurely and unnecessarily because we are not following the basic principles of health that are taught in the Bible. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” (Hosea 4:6) Out of ‘ignore – ance’ (ignoring the truth), we have sought the medical profession for health care when they’re trained for sick care! We have sick care insurance, not health care insurance. As a serious consequence, we are the sickest nation in the world. This so-called health care system is the direct cause of over 1.2 million people dying annually of heart disease, over 600,000 dying of cancer and approximately 75,000 dying from diabetes. These deadly statistics mean that eventually 9 out of 10 people in the U.S. will die of some type of disease. That means only 1 out of 10 Americans will die naturally from old age. Is there something wrong with this picture?   Read on …

These Seven Simple Truths Can Derail The Devil’s Agenda Against Your Health

By Greg Ciola

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.”  (Proverbs 3:5-8 KJV)

After many years of intense Bible study I have come to the conclusion that God cares deeply about our health and how we take care of our bodies. He created us for a divine purpose and He knows what we need to do in order to live long and healthy lives.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”  (Jeremiah 29:11 KJV)

There’s a reason why America leads the world in heart disease, cancer, and a litany of other debilitating diseases. It’s time that we started examining these health issues from a biblical perspective instead of seeking worldly advice for answers. There are easily explainable reasons why so many health problems are on the rise, and there are easy answers to solving many of them.

According to a year 2000 World Health Organization (WHO) report, America ranks 72nd in health, yet we pay the number one price for it. Over 60% of our society is on prescription medication for a diagnosed health disorder. Obesity has become a global epidemic. In another WHO report released in 2006 they reported that over one billion people in the world are now obese. That’s 1/6th of the planet. Type II diabetes cases are exploding, especially in our youth, and there is a direct correlation between diet and Type II diabetes.

The simple truth is many of the health problems people are suffering from are a direct result of poor dietary habits. Having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the most important thing you need to have in your life. However, the word of God stresses the importance of taking care of our physical bodies as well because we are physical and spiritual beings.  Read on …
