The Best Medicine In The World Is Right In Front Of You

       Lolo Carding and Lola Caring met each other in their old age, fell in love, and decided to get married.

       Their age? Lolo Carding was 81 and Lola Caring was 79.

       One day, while walking in a mall, they passed by a big drugstore.

       Lolo Carding told his fiancé, “Let’s go in.”

       They met the woman behind the counter. Lolo Carding asked, “Do you sell heart medication?”

       The woman said, “Yes, Lolo.”

       “Medicine for arthritis?” Lolo Carding asked.

       The woman nodded her head, “Plenty, Lolo.”

       “How about medicine for memory problems, back pains, osteoporosis, constipation, high cholesterol, hypertension, and diabetes?”

       The woman smiled, “Yes, we have all those medicines, Lolo.”

       “Do you also sell wheelchairs and walkers?”

       “We have many brands, Lolo.”

       Lolo Carding and Lola Caring smiled at each other, turned to the woman behind the counter and said, “We will be getting married in one month. Can we use this drugstore as our bridal registry.”

How You Can Avoid

Becoming A Walking Drugstore?

       People expect that as they grow old, they’ll be taking more and more drugs.

       Why? Because that’s what old people do. 

I know of some people who take 20 tablets a day. 

That seems normal now. People take maintenance medicines for hypertension, high sugar, cholesterol, uric acid, high sugar, and heart problems. Plus, they take more medicines for the side effects. Isn’t that insane? Yet that has become normal too.

       Friend, this doesn’t have to happen to you.

You have a choice.

There’s another path to growing old.

       I’ll repeat my message: The best medicine in the world is God’s chosen food. Eat it and be healed.

Consult Your Manufacturer

       If you’re phone is busted, what do you do?

       You just don’t bring it to anyone.

If you’re wise, you bring it to its manufacturer.

If you have a Nokia phone, you bring it to Nokia. 

If it’s Samsung, you bring it to Samsung. 

If it’s an Iphone, you bring it to Apple.

Today, I want you to go to your Manufacturer.

Get yourself repaired.

       Consult Him. 

       What does He say about becoming healthy?

       I’m not a doctor.

       I’m a spiritual mentor.

       So I’ll be showing you what the Bible says about health.

It’s amazing how science is now discovering the logic behind these ancient verses. 

99% Cause Of All Disease

Read carefully: According to immunologists, 99% of all diseases aren’t caused by germs. They’re caused by a starving, weak, malnourished immune system.

       Your body has an incredible, God-designed, super-elite army capable of destroying any germ that tries to attack it.

       This internal army consists of billions of cells in your body that can prevent and cure any disease in your body.

       But that’s the problem: We don’t eat the food that God designed for us to eat. So that army is starving.

       No wonder we get sick!

       If you look at the Bible, it gives you very practical recommendations on what you should eat. Let’s consult our Manufacturer and find out what He says about what we should eat.

       Let me discuss three prescriptions today.

1. Eat Plants

2. Eat Clean

3. Eat Other “Food”

1.Eat Plants

In Daniel 1:11-15, we read the fascinating story of how Daniel and his friends competed with the Babylonians in the “Who Will Be Healthier In 10 Days?” Contest…

“Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food….” So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days. At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food.

Daniel and his friends ate “vegetables and water”.

The other young men ate “royal food” which consisted of meat and other food that was considered “unclean” by the Bible. After ten days, Daniel and his friends were healthier. The poor man’s diet won over the rich man’s diet.

The Bible says in Genesis 1:29, “I have given you every plant with seeds on the face of the earth and every tree that has fruit with seeds. This will be your food.”

       The Bible tells us that plants should be our main food. And today, modern science agrees!

       If you study our bodies, you’ll find more similarities with herbivores than carnivores.

       Go to the mirror now and check your teeth.

What do you notice?  They’re flat. (If they’re all sharp, I suggest you find a good Exorcist.) Just like the teeth of cows, goats, and sheep. 

Carnivores, like lions and tigers, have sharp teeth. 

       Second, herbivores have very long digestive tracks. Just like ours. Carnivores have short ones.

       Our anatomy is telling you that our major food should be plants. The reason why we get sick is because for many years (decades?) we’ve not been eating enough plants.

Objection 1:

“But Bo, I Take Vitamins!”

       Some people say, “I don’t like fruits and veggies. So I just take vitamins.”

       Thank God you’re taking vitamins.

But that isn’t enough. Sorry, vitamin pills won’t replace the actual fruit or veggie. 

       They’re called supplements because they add, not replace. 

Because fruits and vegetables aren’t just about the vitamins. The actual plant also gives enzymes, trace elements, fiber, alkalinity, etcetera!

Let me give you an analogy.

       If you’re my age, you probably watched Voltes V.

       For younger people who didn’t watch this Japanese cartoon, my deepest condolences. 

Voltes V consists five spaceships piloted by Steve, Mark, Big Bert, Little John, and Jamie. There was a love triangle between Steve, Mark, and beautiful Jamie and…uh, never mind. 

By themselves, the spaceships are okay. Each can shoot down enemy ships. 

       But somewhere in the middle of the cartoon, these five spaceships connect with each other and “volt-in”.  Attached together, they form a giant, powerful, kick-butt robot with a saber sword. 

Yep, the sum is always greater than its parts.

Swallowing a vitamin pill is like getting only one spaceship of Voltes V.   But when you eat the whole fruit or vegetable, you’re getting all 5 team members—and they volt-in!

They work together to build you up.

       Take the case of enzymes.

You Need Workers

       Vitamins and minerals are like the raw materials for building your body. Imagine all of the wood, steel, and cement necessary to build a home. 

But the enzymes are your laborers. Without laborers, the house won’t be built.

       And where do you get enzymes? Not from a pill.

       You get enzymes when you eat raw fruits and raw vegetables.

Alkaline Body

       No, I’m not talking about long-lasting batteries.

Here’s another thing complete fruits and vegetables gives you that pills can’t: When you eat plants, your body becomes alkaline.  And germs can’t live in an alkaline environment. Cancer cells can’t live in an alkaline environment. That’s why cancer patients and other sick people have highly acidic bodies. (By acidic, I’m not talking about stomach acidity. I’m talking of the entire body.)

       When you eat fruits and vegetables everyday, you make your body alkaline, thus making it stronger against disease.

       Here’s another objection…

        

Objection 2:

“But Bo, I Do Eat Fruits and Veggies!”

       That’s great!

Question: How much?

Some eat one fruit a day—a banana after a meal—and they pat themselves on the back and say, “I’m healthy.”

Some eat one tiny side dish of cooked veggies—perhaps buttered string beans and carrots—and they say, “I’m healthy.”

But doctors specializing in immunology will tell you that you need fifteen kinds of fruits and vegetables everyday to be healthy.

       Fifteen! Every single day.

       I’m not asking you to be vegetarians. 

But if you want to be healthy, make fruits and veggies your main food. Let everything else be side dishes.

Objection #3:

“But Bo, It’s So Simplistic…”

       Last month, while traveling in Shanghai, my 85-year old mother got sick. (Yep, at her age, she still travels!)

       When she came home, she got worse. She was coughing non-stop, felt very weak, couldn’t sleep, had pain in her ribcage.

       When my sisters brought her to the clinic, the doctor gave her top-of-the-line antibiotics. They were expensive and powerful. She took one tablet before she slept.

       The next morning, she felt terrific. “It’s a miracle,” she said, “I feel so good. The antibiotic worked.”

       That day, my health mentor visited us (I have a mentor for various areas of my life). He looked at my mother, and said, “Mommy, I want you to take a megadose of vitamin C.”

       My sister asked, “What brand?”

       My health mentor laughed. “When I say megadose of vitamin C, I don’t mean swallowing a pill. I’m talking about eating fruits and drinking fresh fruit juices.  Liquefy them. Drink juices many times everyday!”

       Here’s what happened. 

My mother didn’t listen to him. Nor did any of my sisters who were staying with her.

       Why? Because the antibiotic was working.

       Or so they thought.

The next day, the “miracle” wore off and she got worse. 

Her coughing got worse. Her pains got worse. Despite taking powerful antibiotics everyday.

       After one week, she was a wreck. 

Mom hates hospitals. But that morning, she felt so bad, she woke up and said, “Bring me to the hospital. I can’t take it anymore.”

       But that day, my health guru visited again. 

And he asked her, “Mommy, did you take your fresh fruit juices?”

       Mom shook her head.

       My sisters said, “Ooops, we forgot.”

       My health teacher scolded us, “What happened? Mommy, please take your juices, non-stop, everyday.”

Healing From Simple Fresh Fruits

       That day, we gave her fresh fruit juices.

Many times a day. We’d take the fruits, chucked them in a blender, and poured the juice into a glass. Simple.

That was her main food the next few days.

       And would you believe? 

In two to three days, she was cured!

Here’s our problem.

       We don’t like simple solutions.

       We like it when the solution is complicated. 

       It’s more believable.

Like costly pills.

A trip to the hospital.

An expensive medical test.

       But when we hear the words, “Eat fruits”, we think it’s old wives tale.

       But scientists are now telling us it’s NOT old wives tales.

Just last January, a group of food scientists proved that Mango—in an experiment made in a laboratory—fought the cells of breast and colon cancer.

For years, scientists have been saying that bananas are effective against hypertension, depression, digestive problem and a host of other diseases. And ripe bananas have cancer-fighting elements.

For years, pineapples have been known to have powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.

       Ordinary fruits that we take for granted because they’re so available. But what do we do?

       We’d rather eat a candybar than a mango.

       We’d rather eat chichiria (chips) than a pineapple.

I’m not a scientist. Never was and never will be. But here’s my wild guess: I believe all fruits are powerful medicines for your body. If you follow the immunologists and eat 15 kinds of fruits and vegetables everyday, you’ll avoid many sickness.

Let me give you two very practical steps on how to apply this important food recommendation into your daily life.

Action 1:

Eat Local Fruits For Breakfast Everyday

I have a simple solution for you.

       Instead of a breakfast of hotdogs, pancakes, bacon, eggs, spam, and rice—why not eat fruits?

Here’s what I do.

       Every morning, I eat local fruits for breakfast.

       Pineapples. Watermelons. Melons. Star apple. Mangoes. Bananas. Guyabano. Papaya. Etcetera!

       I try to eat 5 fruits every morning. 

       When I do that, I bless my body everyday with the following:

o   I load up with natural vitamins and minerals.

o   I take in necessary living enzymes.

o   I cleanse my internal organs of toxins.

o   I give my body an alkaline environment.

Suggestion: To really get the maximum effect of the fruits, wait for an hour before you eat any other food or drink water.

Action 2:

Eat Raw Veggies For

Lunch And Dinner Everyday

       Most people eat veggies.

       But we eat too little of them. 

A few leaves. And we think we’re okay.

No, you’re not. Your immune system is starving for real food.

       Another thing? We cook our veggies to death. All the nutrients and enzymes are gone.

       Here’s my very strong recommendation: For lunch and dinner, eat a huge bowl of raw salads. Let that be your main meal.

       What veggies? Sing Bahay Kubo.

Organic, if you can find them. If not, wash thoroughly.

       For variation, you can also eat slightly cooked, slightly steamed, slightly blanched veggies.

       I’ve got some favorite dishes: I love a bowl of hot soup filled with slightly-cooked fresh veggies with a dollop of Korean fermented chili (spicy!) sauce. Yum!

       I’ve been eating this way for some time now and my body is thanking me for it. If you’re good to your body, your body will be good to you.    

I encourage you to study how to make delicious veggie dishes. Google it. Buy vegetarian recipe books. Make your family healthy and prevent disease! Ten years from now, you’ll be grateful you upgraded your diet.

Here’s my second prescription.

2.Eat Clean

If you read the Old Testament, you’ll find God calling some animals “clean” and others “unclean”.

Here’s one example in Leviticus 11:1-3: The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Say to the Israelites: ‘Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat: You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud.

       According to the Bible, cows, sheep, and goats are clean.

       Pigs aren’t.

       Chickens and turkeys are clean.

       Rabbits aren’t.

       Tuna and salmon are clean.

       Crabs, shrimps, shells, and squid aren’t.

       On and on the list goes.

       In the New Testament, we no longer follow these food laws. Because as Christians, we don’t consider them spiritual laws anymore. We’re free to eat anything. 

Yes, you won’t go to the fires of hell if you eat lechon

Yeheey.

Instead of taking them as spiritual laws, I suggest that we take them as health recommendations.

       Because this is what I find amazing: Science is now discovering that animals labeled as “unclean” by the Bible carry more diseases and more toxins than the “clean” variety.

For example, “clean” animals have 3 or 4 stomachs and with very long digestive tracks. But unclean animals have one stomach and a very short digestive track. 

A cow takes 24 hours to digest its food. 

Aside from the fact that a pig eats anything, it also takes only 4 hours to digest its food—absorbing much of the toxins that it eats into its meat.

Vacuum Cleaner Of The Sea

I find this next passage rather fishy.

In Leviticus 11:9-10, it says, Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams, you may eat any that have fins and scales.  But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales—whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water—you are to detest.

What are sea creatures without scales or fins? 

Crabs, lobsters, shrimps, squid, and all shells.

Today, we know that they’re the scavengers of the sea.

They’re garbage collectors.

They’re vacuum cleaners.

They’re bottom-feeders, eating fish droppings and dead creatures.

Because of this, they purify the water. 

Good for the water. But bad for them. And bad for those who eat them.

High concentrations of germs and toxins are in their meat.

       In fact, if scientists want to know the toxicity level of a lake or lagoon, he’ll get a shrimp in that water and measure the toxins in its meat.

       And what’s so important about scales anyway? 

       Today, science has discovered that scales are important because that’s what fishes use to release the toxins from its body.  

       My recommendation?

       Avoid pork.

       Avoid crabs, lobsters, shrimp, squid, and all shells.

       At the very least, minimize eating them. 

       Because if you eat them regularly, you’ll have a more difficult time preventing disease in the future.

       Let me now go to my last prescription…

Prescription #3:

Eat Other “Food”

       Food isn’t our only food.

       Your body requires other kinds of nourishment.

       Let me mention four of them today very quickly.

1. Oxygen

God formed Man out of dirt from the ground

and blew into his nostrils the breath of life

–Genesis 2:7

Your cells are starving of fresh oxygen. 

Germs can’t live in a highly oxygenated environment. 

Take deep breaths everyday. De-stress yourself at different times of the day.

This naturally happens when you follow the next “food”…

2.Movement

Physical exercise has some value…

–1 Timothy 1:8

Find an exercise that you enjoy. 

Personally, I love walking. 

It’s the simplest exercise. 

When you walk, you go outdoors, you get sunlight, you oxygenate your body, you get an emotional lift, you lessen your stress, and you cleanse your lymphatic system.

And speaking of sunlight…

3.Sunlight

The light is pleasant,

and it is good for the eyes to see the sun.

–Ecclesiastes 11:7

Many people are sick because they lack Vitamin D. 

Because Vitamin D prevents osteoporosis, prostate cancer, breast cancer, depression, diabetes, and obesity. (No one is marketing sunlight because we can’t bottle sunlight and earn from it.) Mothers who expose their babies to the sunlight know what they’re doing. But what’s the difference between the baby and an adult? Get 30 minutes of sunlight everyday.

4.Sleep

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain…;

for he gives to his beloved sleep.

Psalm 127:1-2

Many people don’t sleep enough. 

If you want to be healthy, listen to your body. Your body will tell you how many hours of sleep it needs. For example, I’ve noticed that vegetarians need lesser hours of sleep—because digestion takes a huge amount of energy. But most people will require 8 hours of sleep to be fully totally restored.

       But at the end of the day, I believe that real sleep doesn’t come from sleeping pills or an expensive bed.

       I believe real sleep comes from God.

       Do you trust in the Lord for all your worries?

       When you trust Him deeply, you can sleep!

— 0 —

       By the way, didn’t you notice that the four elements above—oxygen, movement, sunlight, and sleep—are free? Health isn’t expensive.

Cleanse Your Soul,

Cleanse Your Body

       Let me end with two true-to-life stories.

       I know of a woman who was almost a vegetarian for ten years. But recently, she had cancer.

       People around her were aghast. How could someone whose diet was so healthy have cancer?

       The answer came from those who knew her predicament: Last year, she discovered her husband was having an affair. It was such a painful experience for her. Her heart was filled with rage and bitterness.

       In my ministry, I’ve talked to so many people with cancer. I’m no longer surprised when I find out that it coincided with a highly stressful, very painful event in their lives.

       Why am I sharing this to you?

       To remind you again that we’re not just biological creatures. We’re spiritual and emotional beings too. And eating the right food is crucial for our health, but that’s just one part of the equation.

       Let me now share with you my other story.

       My friend had breast cancer 7 years ago.

       Prior to this, she too discovered her husband had an adulterous relationship. The family was torn apart. Bitter rage filled her heart.

       But she knew the deadly poison of resentment. And so daily, she let go of her anger. She surrendered her husband to God.

       And in prayer, she was led not to go through any chemotherapy or radiation. Instead, she became a pure 100% vegetarian. Her goal was to remove all emotional and physical toxins in her body.

       She was successful.

       Because today, my friend is totally free from cancer.

       I pray that the same miracle will happen to your life.

      

       Go ahead.

       Cleanse your soul.

       Cleanse your body.

       May your dreams come true,

       Bo Sanchez

  13. Congratulations Bro. Bo! tatawagin na kitang “Holistic Preacher.. I was waiting for this article. Is it one of the topics in the next Kerygma Conference? Changing one’s eating habit is not that easy. We need health mentors, health buddies, seminars, researches etc. Year 2007 I decided to eliminate pork, beef (the main culprit of methane gas - harmful to our environment), chicken and fish. Friends and relatives thought I was suffering from an illness. The second quarter of 2009, i eat fish again and trying to lessen it now… gradually.

  14. Thank goodness for this article. I am currently undergoing medication for my hypertension, high cholesterol and fatty liver and I have 4 different medicines to take and they cost a lot of money.

    I never want to be dependent on medicines but I also need to be careful on what I eat in the future.

    Thank you again.

  15. Hi Bo,

    It’s cool to hear that we have armies in our body responsible for attacking germs who wish to enter our system. That’s unconventional ideas.

    By the way, talking of unconventional ideas i wish everyone would visit my group on Facebook called “Table University” (kindly click “Table University” on Facebook). Thanks and God bless.

  16. Hi Bo,

    My mom was diagnosed with cancer 2 weeks ago. Instead of seeing an oncologist, my mom decided to see Dr. Robin Navarro. Until now, I am a bit doubtful because his approach is unconventional. But reading your article today, it made me trust him more. It’s just so comforting to know that what he tells my mom to eat are really in the bible. Please include my mom in your prayers.

    Thank you.

  43. I had been a cancer survivor for 6 years now and I underwent everything you mentioned in this column. But unfortunately, I went back to my usual lifestyle due to the fact that I am living now here in Canada where the sun sets at 9 p.m. the most during summer and so, I used to sleep as late as 1 or 2 a.m. pursuing a 5-hour of sleep. My diet includes meat and sometimes seafoods. But after reading this article I came up to the realization that I should not be literally get influence by the western way of life to achieve my goal of healthy lifestyle. May God help me to succeed

  62. very informative..

    i want to add something though, i heard from a naturopathic doctor said that any red meat takes a long time to digest that it sometimes rot in our intestine..so i think we should really eat them in moderation or better yet, completely exclude them from our diet..

    stay healthy, everyone!

    thanks, bro bo!

  65. Hello Bro Bo! This is one of the very best Soulfood email I have read since I subscribed. The impact it gave me is so inspiring. Its amazing what the passages/verses in the Bible says. Too bad many of us are not able to interpret the Bible that way. Its truly a blessing to have someone like you. Thanks for sharing! God bless po.

  66. This is a great message for us Christians that God really wants us to ENLARGE/GROW in 7 territories: a. Spiritual b.Emotional c. PHYSICAL d. Intellectual e. Vocational f. Financial g. Social. And thank you bro .Bo that in this article you gave message that concerns our physical HEALTH. And i also want to share here about supplementing our food with minerals that we can acquire so cheaply. We know that we need vitamins everyday but maybe not all of us are aware that most importantly we need minerals too (http://www.ionique.com/about/frequently-asked-questions/why-are-minerals-so-important/). Since the body cannot use of the vitamins without minerals but minerals are always use by the body even without vitamins. And i want to tell you that there is an all natural minerals that we can supplement our food and drinks just by putting few drops of it. Please feel free to know about this CONCENTRATED MINERAL DROPS at www.ionique.com. I learned that this product has been in the Philippines for more than 6 years now and helped a lot of people with their health problems. Here in Chicago USA, the person who introduced me with this product has a brother in the Philippines who has cancer and she sent him the ionique CMD and he used it as his supplement by putting 3-5 drops of it in his water drink and any other drinks and food. And the doctor saw that his immune system is stronger than before, made him more energized and gave him more appetite. That’s when the doctor asked him if he was taking other medicine aside from what he prescribed him. And he told the doctor about the CMD supplement that\’s when we found out that this product has been there in the Philippines for 6 years now cause the doctor told this cancer patient about it. I just want to share this since i believe not all of the people here in this site know about it. And it\’s said in the bible : Hosea 4: 6 (KJV) My people perish from a lack of knowledge. And i want to encourage you please feel free to email me for any question ( ertandug@gmail.com) and be more informed about this source of mineral supplements that will help us to have good health. Visit WWW.IONIQUE.COM. I read a book that says people are prevented from having good life and enjoying it because of laziness and ignorance. Maybe this is true, but again and again, in whatever ways God is giving us a chance of every opportunity to learn and make our lives better.

  70. thanks bro. bo. it is really important to de-stress and release all the negative feelings in us. health is wealth.

  71. hi Bro Bo,

    thank u for the inspiring ” medicines…” u shared….

  72. Hi Bro. Bo,

    This is so true. I just want to share that just recently, God had made me see what anger and resentment can do to your body. It was because I was always stressed at work, being in a call center I hardly get sleep. And I began feeling angry and resentful of chores at home and if my husband or son is making my life more difficult. And I felt sick actually, like my heart was getting sick and heavy. And for the first time in my life, a boil emerged from my right thigh, as if it manifested all my negative emotions. It is so painful, so I used it to remind myself of what my anger is doing to me that as I try to heal the wounds, I am also telling myself to release and heal my emotions. I still have it for a week now. So please pray that I get healed especially my emotions will heal as well. That I let go of all my anger and surrender my resentments to the Lord.

    Thank you Bro Bo. God Bless!

  73. thanks bro bo. thanks for everything you share and its really intresting and helpful to me and everyone. I felt sick actually every day in my life I’m not feeling well but thanks beacause reading all your articles it’s makes me feel heal and it’s really encourage my spiritual life.

    I underwent a surgery just recently…. I am a bit excited coz now I could go back to eating meat and other “not-so-healthy” food eversince I exerted effort to stick to fruits and veggies due to my severely painful adenomyosis…

    Thank God, I came across your article! God really makes you an instrument to guide me not to backslide to the usual diet despite the removal of my uterus already. Otherwise, I would have again end up eating junks and other pollutants of my system….

    I know that it takes a lot of discipline to eat the healthy way but I am determined to do it. Godbless you more!

  83. Good day ! As we nourish our bodies, let us not forget to nourish our souls in the Holy Eucharist. ” I Am the Bread of Life, he who comes to Me shall not hunger , and he who believes in Me , shall live forever. ” says our Lord.
    ” Come to the Feast of heaven and earth , Come to the table of plenty. God will provide for all that you need, here in the table of plenty… ” as the church choir sings…
    Come to the Lord’s Feast and be Happy all !
    Thanks Bro. Bo and family .

  85. May I correct my posting yesterday concerning my group “Table University” on Facebook, I mean “search” not “click” on Facebook. By the way, I’ll invite everyone to join the group “Table University” on Facebook and post your unconventional ideas there. God bless.

  86. Very inspiring story (tinamaan ako dun ha). Let me share you my short story. I live in Dubai for 5 years now and eat different kinds of food which I know are all healthy because I enjoyed them eating it but just the same I misses the Philippines dishes like adobo, kare-kare, crispy pata and others. That’s why if there is an occassion all these dishes are always present. I hate fruits and veggies or something that are not being cooked but when I read Bo’s story I come to realised that there is nothing wrong with fruits and veggies not to eat them. From today onwards little by little I will push myself to have those healthy food. Thank you and God bless to all.

  87. Bro Bo your topic on health is very timely today. its a big help. TYVM and more power.

  99. Thank-you very much Bro. Bo for a very informative article.
    God bless.

  100. Salamat pong muli sa inyo, Bro. Bo, ang aming mentor, idol at inspirasyon. Sa ngayon ang tanging paraan ng pagsukli sa iyong kabutihan at pagbabahagi ng iyong mga kaalaman ay ang tularan ka at ipaalam ang mga kaalamang ito sa lahat, tangkilikin ang mga produkto mo sa sheperd’s voice publication at mag donate sa iyong mga non-profit organizations. Gayun din ang pag damay sa iyo sa panalangin sa ating Poong Maykapal. Ngayon, pag na isa buhay ko na lahat ng payo mo lalo na sa negosyo, at naging maunlad ito ay ang isang milyong piso ay ipapaubaya ko sa iyo para patuloy nating matulungan ang mga lubos na mga nangangailangan.
    Salamat pong muli!

  101. I really learned a lot from this article. I love fruits and veggies! It is also amazing how simple fruits, vegetables and the other four elements you mentioned (which are free) indeed make us healthy. I also like the fact that what the Bible and science say are consistent with each other. Thank you for pointing that emotional and spiritual health are also equally important since these also affect our physical health and other aspects of our life as well. God Bless po!

  102. The article is very enligthening and yes filled with simplicity. One statement really strikes me and I firmly believed that I should submit myself to him. Freedom is what I asked and didn’t know that its within my reach. Perhaps I just need to learn how to give it up all to him and let him manage my life.

    Would you mind teaching me how?

    Thanks Ms. Bo, you are truly an inspiration:)

  103. Thnk you very much Bro. Bo for all these advises regarding health..

  104. >tnx for the message,,
    > it really help especially in this age,>>

  105. Thanks for the article for being physical fit. Free from diseases and anxiety free.GBU.

  106. Thanks for message, i really need it….now i’ve learned my lesson nd its all because of you Big Bro. Bo. ^_^

  107. Thanks for this article Bro Bo. Very well written, completely informative, specifically the Bible verses as references. It is also very timely as a majority of the people are not eating healthy nowadays. Most foods being offered are rich in chemicals.

    This article is very refreshing and helpful. And since you have always been a very inspiring leader for most of us, i’m sure a lot of people now will be living a healthier lifestyle.

    More power to you and continue to inspire all of us.

  108. Salamat Kuya Bo !

  109. bro. bo ! napakaganda ng article nyo ngayon, clean our body ,clean our soul, sana mapublish ito sa lahat ng media print radio tv, para maraming pa maabot na tao, mrami pang gumaling ,kailangan ito ng tao sa panahon ngyon na laganap ang sakit at kamangmangan ng marami, importanta sabay ang pag cleansing ng body and soul, ilove tyhis article of your ,im 33 now and health concious na and trying really hard to live a christian life, im a lost soul before thanks to Kerygma .thank s to internet thanks to my fren my officemate who introduce Kerygma to me, it was 1 one my charger in life when i felt lowbat already i always read your article from my everyday email,it help me a lot thru my spiritual and daily practical life
    , may God Bless you Bro. Bo and continue tp touch other people life thru media. GODE BLESS ‘

  110. Thank you Bo for explaining healthy eating and living in a very simple and interesting manner. Glad to know about Daniel and his friends diet competition, about consulting God, the manufacturer of our body, about totally avoiding unclean foods like pork and sea scavenger creatures as instructed by God and maintaining an alkaline environment in our body so germs can’t thrive in our system. Totally agree. I did it to my body by maintaining a healthy diet, regular gym and running routine for 3 years now. The result, an amazing body transformation and new fitness level for me. But still my new body and fitness level is no matched against emotional challenges, memories and situations. I don’t want my body to get sick later, like the woman in your article, because of failure in resisting emotional challenges in life. So I am looking for practical ways on how to strengthen, work out and train our emotions regularly to attain an emotionally fit self (just like in gym training and eating a healthy diet to maintain a physically fit and strong body). Can you share and write something about this Bo on how to strengthen, exercise and work out our emotions? How to maintain an emotionally fit and healthy lifestyle? Practical ways on how to train our emotions so that whatever emotional challenges and situations life will bring us, we won’t be easily affected by it, can still think clearly and can handle well ourselves? Is it possible to attain an emotionally fit self where you won’t get hurt easily or when being hurt, you can easily recover and forgive? I’m looking for a sort of gym where I can train, work out, exercise and strengthen my emotions to attain an emotionally fit self. Hope to hear something from you Bo about this topic. Thank you and bless you!

  111. THANKS!! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS FOR YOUR GOOD HEART IN SHARING THESE IMPORTANT THINGS …
