3. THE ART AND SCIENCE OF HEALING
God pledged Himself to keep this human machinery in healthful action if the
human agent will obey His laws and cooperate with God. (3)
If man will first trust in God, rest, exercise, be temperate, dress with modesty and
use His simple agents properly, and apply principles of hygiene in using His
temple, then God will continue to cooperate with the human agent in
providing His natural agents of sunlight, water, clean air, life bearing
grass, seeds and herbs, in the prevention of disease. (4), (5), (6), (7)
There are many ways of practicing the
healing art, but there is only one way that
Heaven approves.
God's remedies are the simple agencies of
nature that will not tax or debilitate the
system through their powerful properties.
(1)
The work of cultivating the heart is
profitable at all times and in all places. (2)

“The doctor of the
future will not prescribe
medicines,
But rather, will focus
on true remedies for
the human frame
and in the prevention
of diseases.”

6. HOW DOES THE BODY BENEFIT
FROM EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT ?
Exposure to ultraviolet light on the
skin transforms cholesterol into
Vitamin D3.
There are receptors to Vitamin D3 in
every tract and system of the human
body.
Vitamin D3 in these tracts and systems
have many known functions and
provides many benefits including but
not limited to reducing inflammation,
degenerative diseases, autoimmunity
and cancer.

7. How is it that exposure to
sunlight effects biologic
rhythms?
When exposure to ultraviolet light occurs through the
skin, cholesterol is transformed into Vitamin D3.
Depending on the interpretation of the intensity,
duration, shades and exposure to light that occur in the
brain, responses by Vitamin D3 are then expressed that
systematically effect every organ, tissue and cell in the
body.
These biologic responses are able to modulate in a
rhythmic fashion, depending on daily, monthly, seasonal
and yearly changes that occur in our environment.

8. The creation of sunlight, among other lesser lights, with all
their radiant tones of splendor and beautiful shades of color,
their vital energy and the warmth they provide, are like
messengers in the skies expressing the glory of their maker as
well as being as a reflection of the artistic handiwork that was
made.

17. EFFECTS OF SUNLIGHT ON THE
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
17

18. How does Sunlight help
the Endocrine System ?
Vitamin D3 is made available to the body by photosynthesis
through the skin in humans and ingesting plant based foods
that also have by photosynthesis absorbed Vitamin D3. In
that Vitamin D3 (7-dehydrocholesterol) is a lipid soluble
vitamin, it serves as a very good source for making
hormones that can be sent throughout the mind and body.
Depending on the biologic need, these hormones send
signals from the brain through the blood stream to targeted
systems, organs, tissues, cells, molecules, atoms and
subatomic particles in response to the commands that
govern the depths of the soul. Phillipians 4:19 Paul tells us
that “…my God shall supply all your need according to his
riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

ON INTESTINAL AND SKIN ULCERS?
It has been shown that
stomach and duodenal
ulcers as well as skin
ulcers,
heal faster in the
presence of sunlight.
21

22. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THAT FOOD ENTERS
THROUGH THE EYES BEFORE WE EAT IT?
THIS IS TRUE BECAUSE WE HAVE RECEPTORS THAT
PERCEIVE THE COLOR OF THE FOOD WE EAT.
Artificial colors
and flavors block
the correct
perception of what
is made by design
for our health and
wellbeing.
22

23. WHAT EFFECT DOES SUNLIGHT HAVE ON
THE SKIN WHEN WE EAT FAST FOODS ?
When we eat fast foods
and then get sunburned,
due to the free radical
overload and the lack of
antioxidants of different
colors to repair the
damage, mutations
occur and cancer grows.
23

24. WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF EATING
FOODS OF DIFFERENT COLORS ?
Nutrients come in
different colors
and flavors.
The more color
you have on your
plate, the more
healthful it is.

•Stimulates the production of red
blood cells and
•fortifies the immune system.
37

38. WHAT IS THE EFFECT ON OUR HEALTH WHEN WE
HAVE TREES AND BUSHES GROWING
CLOSE TO OUR HOMES ?
Trees and bushes growing
close to our homes do not
let sunlight in.
This promotes darkness and
moisture where mold will
grow.
It promotes mosquito
growth and breeds diseases
of many types and forms.
38

39. We live in a fast paced society. With every passing generation,
America is growing fatter. The fat that is being stored comes from
fast foods. Fast foods contain damaged fats. Hormones are made
from the fats we eat. The accumulation of damaged fats promotes
an increase in cancer where fats are stored and also where
hormones have effects on organs and systems.
Vitamin D3 plays an
important role in
activating the
immune system to
respond when
damaged fats are
identified.

that people that do
not get sunlight
have deficiencies in
vitamin D3.
This effect results in
osteoporosis and an
increased risk in
fractures.
41

42. TO REDUCE FRACTURES, WHAT KIND OF
SUPPLEMENTATION IS RECOMMENDED ?
Vitamin D3 supplementation
has been shown to reduce all
fractures by 23% and hip
Fractures by 26%.

43. WHAT EFFECT DOES ULTRAVOILET
LIGHT HAVE ON ARTHRITIS ?
There are receptors to
vitamin d3 in the joints
of bones. Due to this,
it has been shown
that: Osteoarthritis,
Rheumatoid Arthritis
and Gouty Arthritis
Improve with sunlight. 43

44. IN WHAT WAY DO NATURAL REMEDIES
HELP PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ?
Getting out in the sunlight,
breathing fresh air,
exercising, drinking plenty
of water, getting adequate
rest, eating properly and
being temperate is most
beneficial to the mind and
body because they all
work together for good.

45. EFFECTS OF SUNLIGHT ON THE
INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
45The Urinary System
The Skin

46. WHY IS IT THAT PEOPLE WITH DARK SKIN HAVE MORE HIGH
CHOLESTEROL, ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE, DIABETES,
STROKES AND HEART ATTACKS ?
It is believed that people with
dark skin have a sun blocking
effect that interferes with the
absorption of Vitamin D3.
Any substance that blocks the
absorption of Vitamin D3 will
result in having tendencies
toward elevated cholesterol,
elevated blood sugar levels and
elevated blood pressure, that
increases the risks of strokes and
heart attacks.
46

47. WHAT EFFECT DOES SUNLIGHT HAVE
ON ACNE AND PSORIASIS ?
It has been proven that
ultraviolet light, by
means of Vitamin D3
helps to change the
chemical structures of
damaged fats under the
skin.
This effect benefits
chronic skin conditions
such as acne and
psoriasis.

48. In what way is Vitamin D3 like a
messenger knocking at your door?
Vitamin D3 is like a messenger that
knocks on every cell, tissue, organ
and system of your body.
Then when invited into each of
these modules, it seeks those
modules who have an ear to hear
it’s voice to find what it’s needs are.
Then, according to Philippians 4:19,
“my God will supply all of your
needs according to his riches in
glory.”
48

49. How does Vitamin D3 help
to supply all of our needs ?
Once the receptors of Vitamin D3 have been
given the opportunity to knock on every cell,
tissue, organ and system of your body and is
invited in to each of these modules,
Then when invited into each of these
modules, it seeks to find what the needs are
and then expresses them by messenger DNA
to the Father of Lights sitting on the throne of
God.
Then if it is according to the will of the Father
of lights, an expression is made by the Son to
supply these needs by sending messenger
DNA to the liver that instructs certain
modules to proliferate, differentiate and
others that perform apoptosis.

50. THE PLEDGE OF GOD TO MAINTAIN
OUR BODIES HEALTHY:
The Creator of man has
arranged the living machinery
of our bodies. Every function is
wonderfully and wisely made.
And God pledged Himself to
keep this human machinery in
healthful action if the human
agent will obey His laws and
cooperate with God.

51. It is estimated that most Americans
get too little Sunlight. The question
then is how much is needed?
It is estimated that normal
physiology requires an
intake of 4,000–12,000
IU/day from sun exposure
that produces serum 25-
hydroxyvitamin D levels of
40 to 80 ng/mL that this is
required for maintaining
optimal health.
Heaney RP, Holick MF. (2011). "Perspective: Why the IOM Recommendations for Vitamin D
are Deficient". Journal of Bone and Mineral Research 26 (3): 455–7.
51

52. HOW MUCH VITAMIN D IS PRODUCED WHEN
WE LAY IN THE SUN AND TAN OUR SKIN?
One full body exposure
to sunlight (enough time
to just start to sunburn)
produces approximately
10,000 UI (250mcg) of
Vitamin D3.
10,000 IU is equivalent to
100 - 8 oz. glasses of
milk fortified with
Vitamin D3.

Holick MF (March 1995). "Environmental factors that influence the cutaneous
production of vitamin D" . The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 61 (3 Suppl): 638S–645S.

53. How often could one request a Vitamin
D3 level and what is considered
an optimal level?
Some primary care physicians recommend
having a blood level for 25-Hydroxy-vitamin
D yearly with their annual physical.
The optimal level ranges from 20-50 ng/ml.
(Above 30 “are not consistently associated
with additional benefit” and above
50 may be cause for concern)

54. What is the highest average daily intake of Vitamin
D3 that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health
effects for nearly all persons in the
general population?
0–6 months of age: 1,000 IU
6–12 months of age: 1,500 IU
1–3 years of age: 2,500 IU
4–8 years of age: 3,000 IU
9–71+ years of age: 4,000 IU
Pregnant/lactating: 4,000 IU

55. For those who are shut in and cannot get out
into the sunlight, what are two other
dietary sources of Vitamin D3?
Shiitake and Portabella Mushrooms
as well as dark green spinach are
three viable sources of Vitamin D3.

56. JEJOVA
Jesus, the Sun of Righteousness says:
“The Lord bless thee, and keep thee.
The Lord make his face shine upon thee,
and be gracious unto thee.
The Lord lift his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel;
and I will bless them.”
