Proverbs 4:20-22 'I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.' Deuteronomy 30:19b God has set in place essential laws that govern the human soul. Here is the list of them.

The NEW START program is a lifestyle model that will fullfill a human's basic life needs in areas of physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. This system was not really designed by the medical field, yet medical studies now proves this system to work. Everyday of one's life, if they will follow this model, they will be heathly and can function. Their immume system will be strong enough to fight any diseases including pre-inherited conditions. A pregnant couple can create strong and healthy babies if this model is followed before, during, and after. This model is older than 1800's. People have been using this model of lifestyle to surfive life's challenges. N Nutrition needs to be balanced among the food pyramid. This model does promote the long standing vegan diet, choosing the high denisty foods, more raw than cooked. Genesis 1:29 The aim of the diet is to help you (1) avoid all refined foods; (2) select proper foods for adequate intake of balanced amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements; (3) choose types of nutrients which will help you lose weight as needed and clear the body of excess cholesterol and other unwanted materials that cause degeneration of the tissues. Eat fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, legumes, and grains in as fresh a state as possible. Fresh fruits and vegetables are preferred. Frozen is next best. Fruits or vegetables canned in glass with fruit juice or water pack is acceptable. Dried food is fine too. Freshly ground grain is the most nutritious. Cook in stainless steel, corning ware or glass, and iron pans. Use no aluminum cookware. Cook on the stove or oven. It’s best to eat as much raw & fresh food as possible and not even cook it. BREAKFAST - This should be the “main meal” of the day. An engine must have fuel to run on and so must the body. The amount of digestive juices the body creates decreases with age. (See God’s Plan Basic Menu). LUNCH - This should be a good meal like breakfast. Vegetables and grains can be eaten at this meal. A lot of variety can make this a pleasant meal and very easy to prepare. Note: All food should be fresh, unspoiled, “organically grown” as far as possible. The object is to avoid insecticides and other sprays as well as to get produce with the best balance of trace minerals from the soil. All fruit, preferably fresh. Second choice canned in glass with fruit juice or water packed. All greens, especially cabbage, broccoli, turnip greens, mustard greens, collard, or kale. Use spinach, chard, or beet greens sparingly because of oxalate content. All herbs that are mild. All legumes (beans, peas, lentils, and garbanzos). All whole grains. You need two kinds daily plus a legume to get optimal balance of amino acids. Nuts in moderation. The better ones are the non-tropical nuts such as almonds, filberts, pecans, and walnuts. All nutritional needs on a PREVENTIVE type diet can be secured from daily servings of the foods listed below: A citrus fruit plus another fruit. A yellow vegetable such as carrots, etc. A green vegetable, greens or herbs A legume Two types of whole grains Tubers and nuts may be added as desired by the appetite Special instructions: Cook in stainless steel, corning ware, or Pyrex glass No aluminum cookware Avoid microwave No pressure cooking No “irradiated” produce FREE Recipes- Drinks FREE Recipes- Breads FREE Recipes- Breakfast Dishes FREE Recipes- Desserts FREE Recipes- Entrees FREE Recipes- Salads and Dressings FREE Recipes- Sauces and Dips and Spreads FREE Recipes- Soups and Stews FREE Recipes- Vegetable Side Dishes Apply the Acid/Alkaline Food Theory The lastest on Vegetarian Lifestyles- search for Food Chart E Exercise needs to be balanced with 20min. to 1 hour a day. Brist walk is best, but any moving of the body will help. Strething and taking breaks helps. Genesis 2:15. “Conditioning” exercise is what you need. This the type of exercise that will increase your endurance gradually. You may use three things to help you guide yourself in the intensity that you exercise: Guide (1) Learn what your safe ten-second pulse rate for your age should be during exercise. Learn how to count your ten-second pulse beat and exercise up to that degree. Guide (2) Exercise to the intensity that you are barely able to carry on a conversation with someone as you exercise. Guide (3) If you should develop chest pain during exercise, stop at that point. Follow the advice of your physician. Exercise a minimum of 20-30 minutes at the peak of endurance daily if at all possible, at least every other day. The body forces seem to “escape” from good condition rather easily. Walking is good exercise. Act your age — use a walking stick for stability and for protection against stray dogs. Begin a program of walking on the first day. Walk as far as is comfortable, gradually work up to five miles per day. Take two baths in purest water possible without soap daily, dry brushing the skin before each shower or bathe with a stiff brush. Take deep breathing exercises three times daily, breathing in as deeply as possible and holding to the count of twenty, breathing out as deeply as possible and holding out to the count of ten. Repeat this exercise twenty times, always in fresh air. MAINTAIN GOOD POSTURE, STANDING, SITTING, AND LYING. Range of Motion exercises Massage when appropriate to aid in the circulation of the blood equally throughout the system for relieving pain. Use the following liniments for relieving pain and to help remove toxins from affected areas: - 8 oz. of cold pressed peanut oil mixed with 5-6 freshly squeezed and strained lemon juice. Shake well before each use and apply 1-2 times daily on affected area. OR - 4 oz each of witchhazel and wintergreen oil - 4 oz pure olive oil - 4-6 Tablespoons of cayenne pepper Mix all the above - Shake well - Use as needed. Do not use this when the area is inflamed. American Heart Association has a few words Get Your FREE Fitness Manual (PDF file) W Water is the fluid that cleans the body of toxins and essential to all cells production. Dehydration leads body to "cry out" for thrist and person will experience "pain". Take your weight, half it, that is how much ounces of water is needed to supply that body with basic needs. Genesis 2:10. Internal Use: The body needs water for optimal function. Drink daily pure soft water; distilled water is the best. To determine your recommended daily water intake, use the following formula: 1. Your weight ÷ 2 = x 2. then x ÷ 8 = the number of 8oz glasses of water you should drink daily. Drink more if you sweat much. This will help your endurance. Carry a supply with you. Drink before breakfast. Upon rising, drink 2 glasses at room temperature with a freshly squeezed lemon in it. Also drink between meals, (stop about 30 minutes before a meal and wait 45 minutes to 1 hour after a meal), and early enough before bedtime so that you do not have to get up from sleep to empty you bladder. Do not drink water or liquids with your meals. For External Use: Shower daily with cool or tepid water using a bath brush or a good washcloth and rub your skin all over. This increases the circulation and helps to get toxins out. Dry off with a coarse towel rubbing skin again. Two showers a day for the first two weeks would be beneficial. facts on water's power S Sunshine is vitual to nutrient development (D) and healthy skin. One on this vegan plan will have less chance of getting skin cancer. Spend 30 min. to 1 hour a day, even on cloudy days. Morning and evening is best time. Genesis 1:16. Sunshine has several benefits to the body. It furnishes the natural vitamin D and helps to lower cholesterol. The vitamin D that is produced through the process of the sun aids in calcium assimilation in the body. Sunlight increases the volume of oxygen in the blood. Start with 10-15 minutes exposure to the face and hands daily up to 30-45 minutes daily. The body stores the vitamin D readily for over a week. The best times for sunbathing are the hours between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Avoid burning. Also, to avoid the risk of skin cancer, reduce the free fat intake, such as oils, margarine and other foods of this nature. It would be best to avoid these foods altogether. Studies show that Vegetarians reduce their chances of skin cancer. T Temperance is balance between use of time, money, relationships, sanitation, avoiding negative thinking, like self-abuse talk, anger, temptations, and foods to limit or avoid like alchool, caffiene, drugs, simple charb. (sugar), fats, oils, and unclean animals. Genesis 2:16,17. Live by the clock, especially during the first month, keeping all things on schedule as much as possible: meals, bedtime, arising, physical hygiene, study, work, prayers, etc. Abstain from all harmful substances. Absolutely avoid tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea (except herb teas), colas and soft drinks. For a few weeks avoid any hot or cold/frozen foods or drinks. The stomach has to work hard to either cool or warm the food to the proper temperature to digest. Eat no flesh food or canned “fake meat”. They contain too many carcinogens. Use no dairy products (butter, milk, cheese - even cottage or cream cheese -or whey). Read labels and buy nothing with chemicals listed as ingredients. A safe rule is, if you can’t pronounce the name, it probably isn’t safe to eat. Use no eggs or egg products. Use no vinegar or products containing it (pickles, ketchup, mayonnaise, salad dressing, etc.) Use no spices. Spices are parts of trees or plants that grow in tropical regions. Herbs are fine. Herbs are parts of plants that grow in temperate regions. (Examples of spices: allspice, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, mustard seed, & nutmeg) There are many good herbs to take their place (basil, bay leaf, coriander, cilantro, cumin, dill, fennel, marjoram, mint, paprika, parsley, rosemary, saffron, sage, savory, tarragon, thyme). Use no irritating peppers (no black pepper, white pepper, or hot peppers (jalapeno, chili, or pepper sauce). Cayenne pepper can be used medicinally. Bell, pimento, cherry, banana and all “not-hot” peppers are o.k.. Use no baking soda or baking powder even if they have had the aluminum removed. Eat bread products raised with yeast or hydrogen peroxide or unraised crackers/breads. Watch labels because many items contain baking powder or soda (crackers, cookies, cereals, even some bottled water). Reduce the oil or fat consumption. For the first few weeks eliminate margarine and do not fry any foods. Canola oil is good to use on baking pans, waffle irons, or very hot items to keep foods from sticking when baking. Olive oil is good too, but cannot be heated as hot as other oils. It imparts a nice flavor. Use no sugar, brown sugar, artificial sweeteners or products containing them. Replace with honey, molasses, or real maple syrup. Be moderate even in the good things. Do not overeat of even good foods. Do not eat too many varieties at one meal. Three or four items are plenty. Eat food at meal times. Drink no water with meals. Chew slowly and let the saliva in the mouth mix with the food. Don’t swallow it until it’s “creamy”. The saliva is needed to help the stomach digest the food. Even any small amount of juice or liquid at a meal should be swished around in the mouth to mix it with the saliva. Do not mix fruits and vegetables at a meal. Grains may be eaten with either fruits or vegetables. (See God’s Plan Basic Menu). Wait at least 5 hours from the time one meal is ended before the next is started. The stomach needs about four hours to digest its food. It also needs to rest before more food is introduced. Most people overwork their stomach, and it is never allowed to rest. Two meals a day is the best plan (8:00 a.m. and 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. are good times). If you want three, 6:30, 12:00, & 5:30 are about the best times. Several hours need to go by after supper before bedtime since digestion ceases when sleep begins. All food needs to be digested before bedtime. Food that does not digested in the four-hour time period begins to ferment, and upset stomach may be the result. Eat NOTHING between meals. Any little crumb of food makes your stomach start the entire process of digestion all over again. That means don’t even “taste” something being cooked for another meal. Chewing gum is also a “no-no” since the mouth continues to produce saliva to digest it since it thinks the gum is food. Drink water between meals. Clothing should be modest and keep all the extremities warm, but wear as many layers on them as are worn on the trunk to avoid congestion of blood in the trunk. No tight elastic bands or belts should be used. Suspenders are actually better than a belt to hold up pants. Weight from clothing should rest upon the shoulders and not the waist. Hard work doesn’t kill anyone, but over work does. If overweight, weight reduction is essential. positive attitude, cleanliness, time and money managment. A Air is to be fresh and free flowing throughout home. Country living is best. Deep breathing helps while exercising. Genesis 1:6,7. Pure fresh air is very important. That means good air with negatively ionized particles from forests and oceans. Do deep breathing exercise daily (three times a day is best). Be sure to do this the first time early in the morning before breakfast. Take a deep breath to full expansion, hold, exhale, and hold that. Repeat this 20 times. This helps the circulation and gets toxins out of the system. Breathe fresh air while sleeping (open windows). Even on cold winter nights, keep window cracked. Air the bedrooms daily with the open windows. A good time is in the morning so that the room can warm up again if it’s cold. Do not smoke tobacco or breathe second-hand smoke. Avoid smog and all chemicals, cleaning solutions, solvents, paint removers, insect sprays, deodorants, hair dyes, disinfectants, pest strips, etc. R Rest at night if possible. We were not created to work after sundown. Sleep from sundown to sunrise. Take naps during day can help. Genesis 2:3. Get adequate restful sleep. A light supper will help. Try to avoid stressful circumstances. Establish good habits and this will help. Anyone familiar with “jet lag” knows how well the body works with habits. A relaxing soak in warm water may help you unwind enough after a stressful day so that you will not need that harmful sleeping pill. Regular times for going to bed and rising will also help. The best time to go to bed is between 9:00 - 9:30 p.m. and no later. True Rest BIBLICAL SPIRITUAL REST BIBLICAL SPIRITUAL REST 2 T Trust in not your own understanding, but trust in an Higher Power. Beyond you is a force that can help you see things differently. Trust that you are loved as you are. This world can not give peace that everyone deserves. Trust that your body is a temple of holiness and must be respected if life is to be enjoyed to the fullness. Trust that your body was created by design and functions according to the Designer's way. Who knows best how to care for the car, other than its maker? The manufacter creates a book to explain to user how to get the best results. Your Creator, Godhead, knows best how to live. He has written a book filled with His way. Trust it. Genesis 2:17. An abiding faith in a loving God will help you rest as well. Rest your life in His hands. He has made every provision to forgive every sin and cleanse every sinner of all our past mistakes. Ask Him. He promises to blot out all those mental records of sins in the heart, the love for sin, that tempt us. He has also put Himself on record in the Bible to keep us from sinning and help us obey His laws from love, if we will only “be willing to be made willing”. He wants us to work our minds so that we want to do right, as well as to supply us with power so that we will, indeed, obey Him. His laws are really promises. Every promise that He has made by way of a law, is part of our inheritance. (Deuteronomy 33:4; Galatians 3:17-19) In order to start obtaining our inheritance from the heavenly Father, we must be “born again” or be adopted into His family. We then have the right to go by prayer to His throne in the courts of heaven and present our request to Jesus, the Executor-Mediator, of the estate. If we go by faith after repentance and dedication to Him, the request will be freely granted if our request is according to the “will” of God. Jesus said in His prayer for the disciples: “Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven....” True Happiness This model has been also used to heal many problems when even one of the basic life needs mentioned above goes out of balanced. There are medical M.D. using the NEW START program to heal and prevent problems like cancer, HIV, diabetes, heart diseases, and many others. The saying goes, "Health by choice, not by chance."
