Herbs in the Kitchen

&
Emergency foods to keep on hand

USE SIMPLEST REMEDIES THAT ARE WITHIN REACH OF THE COMMON PEOPLE:
ALWAYS STUDY AND TEACH THE USE OF THE SIMPLEST REMEDIES, and the special blessing of the Lord may be
expected to follow the use of these means which are WITHIN REACH OF THE COMMON.{2SM 298.6} 1903

USE SIMPLE HERBS AND ROOTS:


ARE SIMPLE HERBS AND ROOTS that every family may use for themselves and need not call a physician any sooner
than they would call a lawyer{2SM 279.1}

We have been instructed that in our treatment of the sick we should discard the use of drugs. THERE ARE SIMPLE
HERBS THAT CAN BE USED FOR THE RECOVERY OF THE SICK, here are simple herbs that can be used for the recovery of
the sick, whose effect upon the system is very different from that of those drugs that poison the blood and endanger
life.{2SM 288.1} 1908

WHAT IF THE REMEDIES DONT WORK?


NOT A POISONOUS DRUG SHOULD BE USED. WHEN YOU HAVE A CASE THAT DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE USE OF
SIMPLE REMEDIES, TAKE IT TO THE LORD IN PRAYER. Talk to Him as the only one who can help. Quote simple scripture
with tenderness and faith(PC 43.1) 1910

BUT DIDNT SISTER WHITE SUPPORT THE USE OF DRUG MEDICATION?


In regard to the book on Christian temperance, that portion that was expressed in reference to drug medication as
though it was recommended by me is not according to the light that I have been given to present to the people. I
must, if I made this statement, have done so in expressing the idea of WORKING AWAY FROM THE USE OF ALL DRUGS
CONCOCTED AT THE APOTHECARY. WE HAVE NO USE FOR THEM. WE SHOULD NOT VINDICATE THE USE OF DRUG
MEDICATION... {20MR 36.2} 1897

LET US GIVE UP THE DRUGS BECAUSE THE USE OF DRUGS IS DEMONSTRATING A LACK OF FAITH:
Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it you." He promises to come to us as a Comforter to
bless us. WHY DO WE NOT BELIEVE THESE PROMISES? THAT WHICH WE LACK IN FAITH WE MAKE UP BY THE USE OF
DRUGS. LET US GIVE UP THE DRUGS, BELIEVING THAT JESUS DOES NOT DESIRE US TO BE SICK, and that if we live
according to the principles of health reform, He will keep us well.{19MR 51.2}
