GOD’S WORD FOR NOVEMBER 29 ~ ~ Deuteronomy 4:6 ~ ~ “ So keep and do them, for that is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’”
Celery is an old Asian folk remedy for mild cases of high blood pressure. In one unscientific test, the father of a University of Chicago medical student lowered his mild hypertension simply by adding a quarter pound of celery to his diet every day for a week.
Now his son, a doctor named Quang T. Le, believes he has discovered how celery lowers blood pressure. His discovery could change the way high blood pressure is treated. Hypertension is caused when the smooth muscle lining of the blood vessels tightens. This makes vessels narrower, making it more difficult for blood to get through. Stress hormones in the blood cause the muscles to tighten.
Dr. Le discovered that celery contains a chemical that relaxes the smooth muscle tissue of the vessels. It does this by getting to the root of the problem. Stress hormones are made by the body using a specific enzyme. The natural chemical in celery prevents the enzyme from forming into stress hormones, thus preventing the chemistry that creates high blood pressure. The researchers hope that the chemical will lead to a more effective treatment for high blood pressure. They also recommend against eating celery to lower blood pressure since it contains sodium and other chemicals that can be harmful to some people when taken in high dosages.
How did the ancient Asians learn about this natural solution to hypertension? Clearly, so-called ancient man had a great deal of knowledge about the creation that we are only just learning.
Originally, just after creation, man had all the knowledge that they needed to stay healthy and prosperous, but after sin and death entered, that began to diminish. The fact is, far from being evolved monkeys, early man was a genius far beyond what modern man could even understand. As the body deteriorates with age, so does memory. Things are forgotten, changed, not handed down, and through the generations, much was lost. The changes go the opposite way of what evolutionists are telling us.
When God created, that first 6 days, He said on the 6th day that it all was “very good”.
Please tell me, how good does something have to be to make the God of all the universe,— the One True God, the Lord of Lords, King of Kings, the King of Glory Whose train of Glory fills the universe (signified by filling the tabernacle)—– say it is “very good” ? Far better than what it is now, after sin and the devil have taken their toll.
Something to think about………..
