Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you.” [Genesis. 1:29, NAS]
The LORD gave; the FDA hath taken away; cursed be the name of the FDA! [paraphrase of Job 1:21]

An Introduction to
Natural Health Care Modalities
Natural Health Care — sometimes referred to as Holistic Medicine, or better as “Wholistic Medicine” — is based on the concept that man is more than just a biological machine, and that true health is the result of a proper balance of all aspects of body, soul, and spirit.
As Bible-believing Children of the Most High, we categorically reject the New Age philosophy of holism (or more correctly, pantheism): All is god and god is all. We also reject the concept of an impersonal “force” that binds the universe together and flows through all of its parts (or, as some state, “a higher power, whatever you may consider him/her/it to be”).
Our philosophy of Wholistic Health, or the health of the whole person, assumes God’s personal and direct creation of man (as revealed in the Genesis account) as a tri-partite being composed of three aspects — body, soul, and spirit — which are by God’s design interconnected and interrelated, and that the well-being of the whole person requires the proper health of each of these aspects of the person. It includes the idea that the functions of the body, as a wonderfully designed electrochemical machine, of necessity include its immediately surrounding energy field, and that health and happiness are as much spiritual qualities as they are physical qualities.
Not only do we present information that we believe to be both beneficial and in harmony with our faith in the living ADONAI Our Healer (one of the names of God revealed in the Bible, Exodus 15:26), but we also provide information on practices that we believe are of occult origin and are to be avoided by those who belong to the God of the Bible.
The Use of Herbs to Treat “Dis-ease”
While most sources of information about herbs (including this website) speak to the historical or traditional use of herbs for particular ailments, this line of thinking is actually misleading. That’s because:
[P]lants don’t really treat diseases. In fact, they really don’t correlate very well with treating diseases at all.
What they do correlate with is restoring balance to the biological terrain, or internal environment of the body. Basically, all of the cells in our body live in an ocean of lymphatic fluid, and research has shown that as long as this fluid that the cells live in is kept in proper balance and at the right temperature, and is regulated correctly, the cells of our body will continue to live and reproduce indefinitely with perfect health.
It’s only when this internal terrain of the fluid surrounding our cells becomes upset that we actually get sick, because the cells no longer have the proper environment to help them be healthy. So the best way to understand herbs is to understand how they re-balance the body when the internal or biological terrain is out of balance.

Conventional Medicine vs. Natural Medicine
These are the fundamental differences between “Conventional” (Allopathic) Medicine and “Traditional” (Naturopathic/Holistic) Medicine:
|
Conventional Medicine (Allopathic Medicine) |
Traditional Medicine (Naturopathic/Holistic Medicine) |
|---|---|
| Reactive philosophy — responds only after a health problem has been allowed to develop and appear | Proactive philosophy — maintains the body in good working condition and prevents the development of health problems |
| Masks symptoms — assumes that if there are no detectable symptoms, there is no problem | Heals problems — assumes that symptoms appear only after the underlying problem becomes severe |
| Equates symptoms with diseases — assigns a “disease name” to a symptom and then attempts to develop a chemical or surgical technique to remove the symptom | Equates symptoms with underlying body imbalances and attempts to provide the nutritional elements that will correct the imbalance |
| Attacks symptoms — assumes that if symptoms can be made to disappear then success has been achieved | Promotes healing — attempts to discover and correct the body imbalances that are creating the symptoms |
| Reacts to disease symptoms | Prevents body imbalances |
| Uses man-made system and tools | Uses God-made system and tools |
| Cuts and poisons the body | Feeds the body, mind, and spirit |
| I give responsibility for my health to my doctor, follow his “orders,” and turn my life over to him. | I take personal responsibility for my own health, consult with my physician, and turn my life over to God. |
“Only an uneducated person would deny the existence of germs. We are prepared to admit that if the human body is in a debilitated condition, and a highly concentrated cluster of pathogenic organisms are placed in contact with a vulnerable portion of the body, certain reactions are apt to occur equivalent to the disease attributed to that type of organism. Right there, however, is the line of demarcation between orthodox medicine and natural healing. Orthodox medicine attempts to effect a cure by killing the infection with powerful inorganic drugs or by the injection of dangerous serums or vaccines. … The herbalist and natural healer, on the other hand, recognizes that disease, excluding trauma, is the result of violation, intentional or otherwise, of the laws of nature; that germs cannot exist in harmful numbers for any length of time in or on tissue whose life and vitality is high so that the only way the disease can be overcome is to aid nature in the healing process by the elimination of the poisons and toxins through the body’s natural channels and allowing the vitality to return to the body.” — Dr. Edward E. Shook, Advanced Treatise on Herbology, page 33
