Since the very beginning, God has given mankind the ability to make our own decisions. We are able to make simple decisions concerning tasks such as: what we eat, where we sleep, what we do for a living, will we get married and will we have children. Basically God has given man the leeway to decide what happens to us while on this planet. God will not interfere with our decision-making process. God allows mankind the freedom of choice. How are we using this freedom today?

As we have already discussed in the healing the temple section, God said to us in Genesis that He supplied everything we needed on this planet. But once again man has taken matters into our own hands and we have denied our bodies of certain vitamins and minerals that are necessary for our very existence. Every thing we (our bodies) need to exist was supplied by the creator, yet what have we done with the supplies God provided? Who knows better God or man?

God gave us vitamin C in citrus fruits and within most of the plants that grow on this planet, which He also created. It seems to be an important building block within our body. This particular vitamin strengthens our body down to the very structure, which supports the skin (our skeletal system) bones! It is through God’s wonder that it removes even today’s toxins from our bodies. In our opinion this is truly another one of God’s great gifts to mankind.

When we do not have enough of this particular vitamin in our bodies, our bones become brittle, our teeth decay, our skin looses elasticity, and wrinkles begin to form. Our eyes can develop cataracts and our skin forms bruises real easily. We suffer from the common cold; allergies and we open ourselves up to infections and diseases. We are actually killing the body by denying vitamin C. Once there was a man who had planter warts on his feet. He ate a whole bag of oranges and the wart disappeared.

Doctors have proven that massive doses of vitamin C can be an effective treatment for hay fever, post nasal drip, asthma, eczema, hives, poison ivy, poison oak, snake bites, spider bites, carbon monoxide poisoning, meningitis, encephalitis, viral pneumonia, mononucleosis, phlebitis, slipped discs, hepatitis, bursitis, arthritis, sinusitis, lead poisoning and the list goes on and on.

Some doctors recommend 1000 mg. An hour for 1-3 days until the symptoms are gone. Others have recommended 2000 mg. To 6000 mg. With the same dosage repeated every 4 hours. If fever does not go away up the dosage and repeat as needed. Imagine that, doctors know the value of vitamin C to our bodies, yet do you hear about the importance of it through the media?

It is a scientific and medically proven and on record that people with crippling arthritis have taken 10,000 mg. Of vitamin C a day for up to 6 months resulting in these same people getting up out of their wheel chairs and returning to work. By God’s grace and the knowledge God shared with man have we been able to defeat disease through the use of vitamin C.

Vitamin C does not stay in the body. The body is like a sponge; you can take 4000 mg. Of vitamin C to saturate the body and then through drinking citrus juices maintain the level necessary to combat diseases such as though mentioned above. We need to remember to take supplements when our bodies are under stress. All stresses on our bodies destroy the vitamin C that we would normally retain within our bodies in other situations.

Vitamin C is not toxic. If you take a supplement and have problems, simply change brands, as the filler used could be what your body is reacting to. God placed Vitamin C on this planet when he undertook His miracle of creation. It is another of many gifts that God has freely given to mankind. Will we accept this gift as freely as we accept the gift of salvation? Does man really know better than God what’s best for our bodies?

Didn’t God create our bodies? We know that the creator did in fact create these bodies, and knows what is necessary to sustain the very life of this shell our souls live in. Why are we not listening to our Father in Heaven? Why is man so set on self-destruction after God has given us life? May your diet be full of nutrition provided by God the provider so you may never fall to disease or sickness, which are the tools of our enemy. Remember the Bible tells us that the Devil goes around seeking those he can devour and destroy!!
