“Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.”
This profound adage speaks to the purpose of nourishment for healing and optimal wellness.
What does it mean to eat for health and to prevent disease through nutrition? Which foods can act as medicine to our bodies? There are a few key concepts to keep in mind. Have faith that God has designed us with intelligent immune systems to maintain optimal health and prevent disease. Science has shown that adequate rest, activity, spiritual care, and nutrition are the keys to achieving a superior immune system.
Most Americans know that receiving adequate rest and exercise is important for long-term health. Some Americans understand that spiritual care plays a role in reducing stress levels and finding peace, hope, and happiness, thus enhancing our emotional and psychological health. However, few Americans understand the relationship between nutrition and the immune system; people are often confused by fad diets and abounding misinformation. But thanks to advances in nutritional science, we can be assured that God’s health plan—a whole food, plant-based diet—is paramount for optimal health.
“You will discover,” says Dr. Joel Fuhrman, “it is not only the powerful compounds in foods such as berries and pomegranates that are so protective, but these compounds—when combined with those found in green vegetables, mushrooms, and onions in the diet—fuel the miraculous self-healing and self-protective properties already built into the human genome, together resulting in Super Immunity.”(1)
Keep in mind the acronym G.O.M.B.S.:
G = green vegetables and green leafy vegetables;
O = onions and garlic;
M = mushrooms;
B = berries;
S = seeds.(2)
Research is showing that these specific foods have tremendous healing properties. Eating plenty of G.O.M.B.S. and little-to-no processed foods will help us support our immune systems, reduce our illnesses, and invigorate our aging bodies. Remember to trust in God and in the beautiful foods He has created for our enjoyment and health.
“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” 3 John 1:2

From my Study and Research and TESTING of a good number of years, I might ADD my voice to others that I have heard TELL that Braggs Amino is a SOURCE of EXITO-TOXINS which is a WORLDLY PRODUCT and should and NEEDS not to be used for IMMUNITY, and HEALTH and STRENGTH, which should be the HEALTHY MANS GOAL in HOPE in LOVE for HUMANITY and also CHRIST for SALVATION.
Also the “MUSHROOMS” eating SYNDROME, At the END of the DAY, MUSHROOMS are NOT VEGAN FOOD but came in AFTER the FALL of MAN; and according to the latest SCIENCE RESEARCH are NOT even a PLANT but are part of the family of MOLD and YEAST, which CORRUPT the EARTH by FEASTING on DEAD THINGS. They GROW in the DARK and do not use PHOTOSYNTHESIS. SCIENCE TODAY says that they are more AKIN to ANIMALS than PLANTS or even HUMANISTIC, which I am NOT 100% sure what that MEANS. They are really, perhaps what the BIBLE refers to as a PART of the “PLANTS of the FIELD” which came into BEING as a RESULT of the SIN..FALL of ADAM and EVE and SLOWLY, SATAN uses the YEAST MOLECULE to bring CORRUPTION and DEATH and will NOT BE when, as the BIBLE puts it … CORRUPTION shall PUT ON, IN-CORRUPTION” 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 … COMPARE that verse to its mirror image verses in Genesis 3:7-19… SATAN is SUBTLE, he entices the GOD”S CREATED beings to a be deceived to FEED on them, THINKING they are FULL of VITAMINS and HEALING PROPERTIES, but that at the END of the DAY they PRODUCE SEEDS of DEATH through MILDEW HEALTH ISSUES, which is NAMELY CANCERS. THEY ALWAYS CAUSE CONSTIPATION, and negatively IMBALANCE the FLORA and FAUNA of the BOWEL to cause CANDIDA. JESUS DIET for the Children of ISRAEL in the WILDERNESS, HE PLACED 100% of HIS PEOPLE on a YEAST FREE, LOW Sugar, CANDIDA DIET THERAPY and said. YE shall have NONE of the DISEASES of the EGYPTIANS. PRAISE, THANKS and AMEN. May GOD POWERFULLY BLESS the READING and LEARNING of these PRINCIPLES of ABUNDANT LIFE. PRAISE, AMEN.
That being the CASE of MUSHROOMS, I CONCLUDE that MUSHROOMS are OUT for MY ULTIMATE IMMUNITY STRENGTH and LONGEVITY, a MORE HEALTHY ABUNDANT LIFE. As for the other RECOMMENDATIONS I would SECOND THEM, but YOU DECIDE for yourself, as YOU UNDERSTAND it by RESEARCH, LEARNING, TESTING and PROVING for YOURSELF. PRAISE, AMEN. May GOD BLESS.
