Marlin,
I have prayed for you and your family to be healed. It would help if you would
see a doctor about taking an antibiotic for your probable strep throat. If you
have strep, it can turn into much more serious things if you don’t kill the
germs(especially in children). Oh, for your natural ingredients: add chicken
soup! Izzy

I've been knocked out for a couple
of days with a flU that came in via relatives from another state. My
wife has a particular blood type that is resistant to illness, she is very
blessed in this way. Her body temperature is also generally a degree or
two below the norm. Go figure.
The rest of us, me and the
children, have all been hit severely with it. Right now, it is all I can
do to swallow my saliva because of the intensity of pain in my throat.
I request prayers for wellness in my family.
It is interesting to find that
there are people involved with health care on this forum, some "orthodox"
others, not. I for one lean toward the most natural means possible when
confronted with health problems.
I happen to be fellowshipping at
this time among the Seventh Day Adventists. They run a local
hospital. They have"orthodox" accredited doctors and yet lean toward
natural remedies. They also favor vegetarianism and this comes out in
their teachings both in health care and in fellowship, although it is said not
to be a doctrine. One of their hospitals tried to transplant the heart
of a baboon into a baby.
Healings in the bible, in spite of
reference to the physician, Luke, do not seem to resemble to the health
professions of today, "orthodox" or not.
ACS 10:38 How God
anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and
with
power: who went about doing good, and healing all that
were
oppressed of the devil; for God was with
him.
1PE 2:24 Who his
own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
that
we,
being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by
whose
stripes ye were
healed.
JAM 5:16 Confess
[your] faults one to another, and pray one for
another,
that ye may be
healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous
man availeth much.
There are some that the Lord
chooses not to heal:
ACS 28:24 And some
believed the things which were spoken, and some
believed
not.
ACS 28:25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they
departed,
after
that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by
Esaias
the prophet unto our fathers,
ACS 28:26 Saying, Go unto this
people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear,
and
shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not
perceive:
ACS 28:27 For the
heart of this people is waxed
gross, and their ears
are
dull of hearing, and their
eyes have they
closed; lest they
should
see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and
understand
with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should
heal
them.
ACS 28:28 Be it known
therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is
sent
unto the Gentiles, and [that] they will hear
it.
ACS 28:29 And when he had
said these words, the Jews departed, and had
great
reasoning among themselves.
ACS 28:30 And Paul dwelt two whole
years in his own hired house, and
received
all that came in unto him,
