Lessons from the current corona virus out break.

Lessons from current corona virus pandemic

Unlike the 1918-1920  Spanish Flu , with claim an estimated 20million to 50 million victims worldwide, other estimates run as high as 100 million victims- around 3% of the world population. The difference is, in 2020, we have greater access to instant information by google, whatsapp and other digital hand held devices in our hands if we have a desire to get ready update. The problem with too much information is the difficulty of establishing what is fact and truth  in the widely circulated content  in the mass media,  information over drive that assault us daily. In our present age, we are also suppose to be more intelligent in acquiring  scientific facts on health matters and issues. But, the truth is  such life saving,, cost reduction knowledge in hospital bills, and surgical procedures  are not in the minds and heart of the masses. Unless one reads, get regular updates and  supplies from principle, honest and  scientific facts driven  sources. Which are very few and hard to access for many.

Perhaps, it is too early to get the full value of a post mortem exercise  at this time, as the pandemic is far from over, except in Wuhan, where the first  case was reported and circulated in the world media. Nevertheless, there are lessons to be gained from what have already  happened and recorded in the battle front for learning and  future preparation if similar  future crisis of this magnitude manifests again.

First, we are pretty easy going and relax about the general health status of the population as a whole. There is very little preventive health education for the masses. We assume, the population’s health  is robust  and  pays little attention to the need to enhance the health status of  entire nation. On the  individual, personal  level most people are complacent about the own health as long as they can still work ,sleep and eat daily. The frightening truth is most non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, strokes and even cancers have very little signs or early symptoms manifesting in the body of the victims, until they are in the advanced stage of  illness. The fast and furious speed of spreading virus among the population is a sign that the immune system of the most living persons  around us, is far from sound and vulnerable to be a victim once the pandemic hits the masses. We need to be body conscious and health sensitive to keep our immune system functioning and battle ready. Starting from now, perhaps we can begin from our  own little circle of  influence within the family. The head of the family, the father who operates his own family unit can start to do some home work and research  on building a foundation of  life saving immune health for all seasons.  Paying attention to matters such as quality of food, mental health, exercise, sleep pattern, avoiding toxins in air, electronic smog, water quality, mindfulness over health damaging living such as stress, body elimination stool observation, injurious indulgence such as excessive consumption wines, coffee or sugar. Regular and complete health screening  such as periodic analysis of  hair sample, DNA profiling  and other related health screening. Health and life within the inner world cannot be outsourced and delegated to another.

Second, what are the contributing and direct causes of  poor health in population?  We need to see the big picture and also zero in the specific that damage our health.

For a start, let us consider our agricultural philosophy in mass production of crops, grains, meat, poultry, and other food items. The use of chemical fertilizer, pesticides, profitability above all in food production.  Harvesting, storage, distribution method, manufacturing, and quality of the food when its reaching the consumers. A rethink of changing the marketing  of ready to consume food items. A bold front of education in  the art and science of eating. A personalized, tailored made nutrition recipe according to the individual needs of the person. Prescription  nutrition  to maximize the body’s need for minerals, vitamins, trace elements, micronutrients for perfect digestion, absorption of  elements according  to the needs of the moment.

Third,  all the experts opinions about the overall safety of  long term effects of consuming  every  food items   with added preservatives, stabilisers, food dyes, taste enhances, food substitutes, anticaking agents, and other chemical such as artificial sweetener and  GMO food. If all these current manufacturing processes and non-food  chemicals  use in the food industry were all perfectly absolutely safe  and free from side effects, how come there are so many deaths in the world mortality table?  Can www.worldlifeexpectancy.com  statistics  on the world death by diseases, population,-age , country by country be false? 

Fourth, return to nature and live in harmony with laws of life as manifested in the lives of  pocket of human habitations that live beyond their 100s. Okinawa, Sardinia,Loma Linda, Nicoya, and Ikaria have much to offer us who wish to live beyond 100. People don’t die, they kill themselves by careless and lawless  in their daily living.  Those who live long, healthy and sickness free life have much to offer us who wish to duplicate such lives. Whatever, drugs that we take to reduce the ill effects of sickness, has no safety limit, and in the long term, the side effects will manifest after it was approved by the authority to be safe. For example, WHO has warned the extra risk of taking ibuprofen which increases the death rate for those infected with corona virus. This anti-inflammatory drug could worsen effects of the virus. All drugs are unnatural and  do not have the safety of  food such as turmeric or Vitamic C from fruits to boost our immune system.

Fifth, what is the purpose of life? To live long for the sake occupying a space, take in food for the sake of enjoyment, living a life without purpose and meaning, going on living without a reason and purpose can be as vain as cancer cells, multiplying and growing for the sake of increasing in number, can be a useless life, no matter how long. A divine spark that encourages, long useful and meaningful life without diseases and  suffering in one’s old age, must centre on a reason, a purpose. The why is very important, if we want to live for a significant, transcendental purpose.  To help us live long, meaningful life we need to find out  our calling in life, find a place in society in which we can play a significant role to uplift humanity, then living a long life is a bonus.

Distilled water free from toxins but full of organic minerals

Is drinking distilled water detrimental to health?

Those who are against the long term consumption of this pure water argue that drinking 100% pure water will lead to leaching of minerals from the body. On the other hand, drinking water which has all kind of dissolved minerals such as chloride salts, pesticides ,hormones, lead, nitrates/nitrites, mercury, radium, perchlorate, uranium, bacteria & viruses, ammonia, aluminium, drug residue, and other invisible dissolved chemicals will cause diseases such as cancers, organ failures. So what is the solution to this dilemma?

Water is a universal solvent to transport oxygen and nutrients, at the same time eliminate waste products from the body’s metabolism. It is just A  MEDIUM TO CARRY OUT LIFE’S METABOLISM.  It is a neutral agent to facilitate the process of living. Nothing more or less.

Without water human being will die in three days. Of dehydration which bring to a stand still al the organs’ activity such as breathing, filtration of blood, detoxifying process in the liver and distribution of oxygen and nutrients to the cells in the body.

Distillation removes all the minerals contain in water. This means, all the harmful substances are eliminated and water is free from contaminants. Pollutants in the water, once enter the body will cause havoc and destruction  to the cells, tissues and organs both in the long term and short term, the manifestation of this ill effects depends on the immune system of individuals.

At this point, it is good to pause to consider the significant difference  between organic or living minerals  and inorganic or dead minerals. Living also known as organic  or biological minerals are  the products of photosynthesis. For example, the minerals in the coconut water are absorbed by the root system of the tree by reverse osmosis into the tree trunk, transfer upward to the leaves and process by the sun’s energy , transform  into organic minerals which then is transported to the fruits into the husk and through the shell and store in the nuts. These minerals are living and 100 % available and assimilated into the body digestive system once consumed. This coconut water from a fresh nut is having the same electrolytes concentration as the human blood. In emergency where there is absent of saline pack, it can be used as a substitute to keep a person from dehydration. As in the case of food poisoning which triggers diarrhoea and vomiting resulting the loss of  excessive  water from the body.

How can you tell whether the minerals is organic or inorganic? A simple test is whether it can be kept in room temperature before bacteria cause the spoilage. A  fresh green young coconut which suffers a crack even invisible to the human eye, after a while, will have a cloudy water and smell  stale once opened. Organic minerals from fruits, vegetables  and nut cannot be kept for long without refrigeration. Whereas, inorganic minerals such as from mineral water, artificial source found in mineral supplements, vitamins from artificial source such as calcium from chalk( Calcium bicarbonate ) cannot be spoil so easily because they are devoid of life and bacteria have no interest in dead minerals which cannot sustain life.

Yes, we need living minerals for our life. The sources are from vegetables, fruits and nuts. We also need water, clean pure water without pollutants and toxins to replace the fluid we loss daily through urination, breathing and perspiration. The solution is to add living or biological  minerals into our water after it is distilled by  a machine.

From my own experience it is easily achieved by added hot distilled water with mulberry leaves, roselle fruits ,lemon grass leaves  and even tea leaves.

The normal tap water in Klang Valley has a reading  of between 50-90 ppm which has chemicals from treatment process, Indah Water discharge and rustic pipe. But, after distillation, the pure water  which has a reading of zero ( No minerals) become 250 ppm with mulberry leaves,  Roselle fruits 950 ppm. Lemon grass leaves, even second round has a reading of 437 ppm. So the question of drinking distilled water which lead to leaching  minerals in the bones or organs can be easily overcome  with this practice of adding  leaves or fruits into the pure water. This way, the water  we drink  can be  full of biological , organic  minerals without the need to worry about leaching  or deficiency   of useful minerals. But, more importantly  there no harmful and dangerous toxins hidden in the water.  By this, we  get the best of both world, minerals available  from  pure water without the  hidden, unknown  minerals  from normal tap water.    

Enjoying  healthy life beyond retirement years?

 The world in every country is experiencing an aging population. This phenomenon of human beings in the present generation living a longer life is due to better sanitation in the water we use daily for living. Clean water reduces the incidence of spread of infectious diseases  such as cholera, influenza,infectious diarrhea, SARS and now the Wuhan coronavirus. Is an aging population detrimental to society  progress and advancement?

A massive study in America has found that the most productive age in a man’s life is age 60-70. From age 70-80 is the second most productive age. The third most productive age  is 50-60. Let’s examine the fact. The average age of  a Nobel Prize winner is age 62. The average age of  a CEO in a Fortune 500 company is 63. The average age of the pastors of the 100 biggest churches in America is 71. The average age of pope is 76. This tells us somehow God has designed that the best years of our lives are between 60-80. A study published in New England Journal of Medicine:70.389(2018) found that at 60 you reach your peak of potential and continue up to 80!

If you are a believer of God,  there is no retirement age for man but young men must be at least 20 years of age to start with. Moses was 120, Caleb, Joshua were in their 80s and Job died at age 140. Abraham  expired at age 175.  However, the problem the recovery faced are the premature death and sickness encountered by the younger ones.  The talk about being useful as we matured and aged into the evening years of life is just  academic  and  doctrine.  The usefulness  is a reality in our old age only IF we have good health to sustain this remaining years as in the cases of Moses or Job.

The burden on the subject is how to keep ourselves healthy, vital and strong both in the body and mind?  The Lord’s has been merciful to us and He has the answer to keep us in such an optimum state to be useful to Him and His divine economy  even as we accumulate the years into our life.

In this post,  I will focus and emphasize on just water. The kind of water we drink and permit to enter our body. The water we drink for living daily has much to contribute towards how we feel in our old age.  Why is water so important to our life? It is because our entire body’s organs are composed of water.  From over 80% in the lungs and heart to only 22% in our bones.  Without air we can die in 3 minutes! Without clean water to sustain us, we shall die in 3 days!!

Our human body is 70% water. The details are as followed :-

Teeth 10%   Bones 22%  Cartilage 55% Red Blood corpuscles 68.7 % Liver 71.5% muscle tissues 75.6% Spleen 75.5% Lungs 80% , Kidneys 82.7%   Blood 83 %, Brain 75% Bile 86% Plasma 90% Lymph 94%  and Saliva 95.5%

Every day depending on our rate of sweating or perspiration  and  urination, we consume  about 2-3 litres of water to allow optimum function of all the organs in an orderly manner. The water lost must be replaced or we can die slowly of dehydration.

Water is a universal solvent which in our  blood acts as a medium to transport  oxygen to all the cells, dispense  nutrients, hormones, enzymes and other life giving substances to the  cells for regeneration, repair damaged cells. At the same time, very importantly remove harmful  waste products, toxins  and other by products  from the process of metabolism.  The water in the blood carries these life giving substances and oxygen by the artery to the cells, and get rid of waste products such as dead cells, urea, salts out of the body by the veins. Capillaries are the tiny blood vessels which connect the arteries to the veins. The entire length of this net work of blood vessels join end to end is 2 and half times  the  circumference of the earth. 100,00 kilo meters long. 

So what kind of water should we drink to keep us healthy and   full of strength to sail into the retirement years?

Let us learn from a few examples of  the kind of water consumed in the old testament such as from wells and what happened to the drinkers  of such kind of water?

First significant case is that of Isaac. Isaac  dug many wells in different occasions. Gen 26:18-22, 32  and not only he dug the wells, he drank the well’s water also. Both Isaac and Jacob drank from the same ancient wells dug from Abraham’s time. John 4:12 our father Jacob who gave us the well and drank of it himself, as well as his sons and his cattle.

In Gen 27:1 Now when Isaac was old, and his eyes had become so dim that he could not see… How did  Isaac eyes deteriorated  and become so dim and he could not see. Remember the earlier  explanation about the function of blood and the blood vessels( capillaries) which transport nutrients, oxygen to keep the cells alive such as the cornea of our eyes? Isaac drank  well  water, which has minerals dissolved into it from the side of the well which were made from mud or earth. Water a universal solvent dissolves small amount earth’s minerals and when these  trace  minute amount of inorganic minerals entered Isaac’s blood vessels, it blocked the capillaries of his eyes which supplied oxygen and nutrients to keep his cornea clear and transparent. Hence his eyes became dim.  The same affliction affected Jacob who drank well water. Gen 48:10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim with age, and he could not see.

Now let’s examine another  case of  another class of  water  drinker s  from another  different source of water . Water from the cleft rock which Moses and Caleb, Joshua drank.    Water issued from the rock. Exo 17:6… you shall strike the rock and water will come out of it so that the people may drink. And Moses did do in the sight of the elders of Israel. Num 20:8 …speak to the rock before their eyes, so that it yields its water. Thus you shall bring forth water for them out of the rock and give the assembly and their livestock something to drink Number 20:10  And Moses and Aaron..said to them Shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock? Num 20:11 …struck the rock with his rod twice and abundant water came forth, and the assembly and their livestock drank. Deut  8:15 Who brought forth water for you out of flint rock.. The  reason  more than three times were mentioned that the water came out of the rock  is to emphasized  the water came from the rock is of a different kind. Rock such as granite is hard and impermeable to  water unlike the softness of soil. Rock has hard surface and when the water is running, it has no time to react  to dissolve any mineral contains in the rock surface. This property of hard, impermeable surface    keeps the water  pure and free from dissolved minerals unlike that of well water which react with soil and polluted the water with residue of earth’s mineral. I have tested water from the rock, such as occurring naturally from water fall and running mountain spring. These waters are pure and free of any residual minerals with a reading of zero with a total dissolved solid meter. Our heavenly Father, gave such high class clean pure water to the children of Israel this water for forty years hence, none was sick or suffered from any ailment  associated with polluted  water. And the  positive evidence of such clean water on Moses’s health  was  recorded in Deut 34:7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor had his freshness left him.  Joshua has a similar testimony from drinking the same water.  Joshua 14:7, 10  I was forty years old when Moses sent me to spy out the land, and now look Jehovah has kept me alive… all these forty five years and today I am eight five years old  verse 11 today I am still as strong as I was on the day Moses sent me out as my strength  was then, so my strength is now.  The purity of water that enters the human body is of the utmost importance. The  water quality that enter our body will affect our entire body’s  metabolism from  red  blood cells production with has a cycle of 100-120 days, our  heart beat rate and rhythm of 60-100 times a minute. Our immune system and kidney filtration of  toxins, and production of pancreatic juice to regulate  sugar  level in our blood.

To keep us in top form and heath God has a process to purify our water.  Jeremiah 10:13 He caused the vapours to arise from the end of the earth. Psalm 77:17 The cloud pour forth water, Psalm 65:9 You visited the earth   and water it. You enrich it greatly. Isaiah 55:10 the rains pour forth, it waters the earth until it bear sprout forth. Amos 5:8 ,9:6  He calls for the  water of the sea and pours it upon the surface of the earth . The sea water which forms 97% of the total water storage on earth planet, has a salt content of 18,960 parts per million minerals mainly salt. But by the time the water which has been  transformed into rain has almost zero reading in minerals. Hence the plants and animals do not die when it rains. The salt is removed by distillation. Condensation virtually removes all traces of  minerals from the sea water. Job 36:27 For He draws up the drops of water which DISTILL into rain from His mist.which the skies pour down and drop upon man abundantly.

Over the many years since I was saved into the Recovery from  the  years 2002, I have attended many memorial  services of the saints who died. Some older ones, many in their 50s and 60s and some even below 35, I always made  a survey on the same question, What kind of water the deceased’s family consume daily? I have so far never come across a single family or  a  saint who drinks water from    a distillation machine. I appear to be an exception so far.   

The Lord encouraged me greatly over this question of  drinking pure water. One day, during a Malaysian blending conference  in Subang Jaya many years ago, I   found myself  sitting next to another saint from Kampar, Gary Low.  The conversation turned to the subject of water and health. Without any probing on my part,  this saint told me of his father in Law who was age 93 at that time of his living habit. His father-in law   is an orang Asli or people who originated from the jungle. Gary shared with me that his father in law who is allergic  to oily food, eats steam fish  and chicken.  Moreover, his father in law does not  trust the quality of the tap water  from  the town council, so he on his own  took the effort to connect his family water supply from a mountain stream of  a water fall from behind his house. He used a plastic pipe to transfer the water to his bathroom and kitchen. He drinks from this water source. So I asked of him to send me  a water sample for testing from this mountain water. Upon testing I found the water to be exceptionally clean and free from any minerals. This is the water from the rock, the same water Joshua, Caleb  and Moses consumed in ancient Israel.

In our daily living to stay alive and healthy on earth, we breath about 13.5 kilo of air  about 2 liters of water  and over 1 kilo of food. If we drink the right kind of water, as Moses and Joshua and Caleb and avoid well water which caused Isaac and Jacob’s eyes  to be dim, we have to   apply the wisdom of  drinking the right kind of water to be useful and full of strength like  Moses. To ignore the lesson of water from the rock, we  needlessly  kill ourselves prematurely and slowly. Die and sick by installment.

I  share this insight  of health for  the benefit  of  more members  of  His Body. Those who are destined to be healthy and useful even in  their old age, shall be preserved . In sharing this I have done my part as in Ezekiel to  warn the ignorant who drink the wrong kind of water and suffer the consequences. The blood of the ignorant is not in my hands. My people are destroyed for lack of this particular knowledge .The masses are not concerned about something so fundamental and basic to live healthily. This is also mentioned twice in the Proverb 14:12  and 16:25 There’s a way which seems right  to  a man, but the end of it is the way of death. Prov 16:22  Insight is a foundation of life to him who has it.

At the age of 68 coming this April 2020, I am thankful  that all these years of my living all my organs are intact, never need to have a surgery to correct this and that  defect or deficiency. I have never taken any sick leave due to  common ailments such as  headache , fever for flu or cold. Never need to take any medication such as for  high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease. By the grace  of God, I hope to sail into the golden age without any medical  intervention or emergency.
