Foods as Remedies
181
Manuscript 93, 1901
Physicians should watch unto prayer, realizing that they stand in a
position of great responsibility. They should prescribe for their patients
the food best suited for them. This food should be prepared by one
who realizes that he occupies a most important position, insomuch as
good food is required to make good blood.
The Ministry of Healing, 298
When properly prepared, olives, like nuts, supply the place of
butter and flesh meats. The oil, as eaten in the olive, is far preferable to
animal oil or fat. It serves as a laxative. Its use will be found beneficial
to consumptives, and it is healing to an inflamed, irritated stomach.
Testimonies for the Church 9:162
Eggs contain properties that are remedial agencies in counteracting
certain poisons.
Letter B 135, 1902
The time has not yet come when I can say that the use of milk and
of eggs should be wholly discontinued. Milk and eggs should not be
classed with flesh-meats. In some ailments the use of eggs is very
beneficial.
Letter K 37, 1901
Do not go to extremes in regard to the health reform. Some of our
people are very careless in regard to health reform. But because some
are far behind, you must not, in order to be an example to them, be an
extremist. You must not deprive yourself of that class of food which
makes good blood. Your devotion to true principle is leading you to
submit yourself to a diet which is giving you an experience that will
not recommend health reform. This is your danger. When you see
that you are becoming weak physically, it is essential for you to make
changes, and at once. Put into your diet something you have left out.
It is your duty to do this. Get eggs of healthy fowls. Use these eggs
cooked or raw. Drop them uncooked into the best unfermented wine
you can find. This will supply that which is necessary to your system.
