Do I even need to consume a daily multivitamin?

According to Taber's Medical Dictionary, vitamins are essential for normal metabolism, growth and life of the body (page 2000). They are indispensable for the maintenance of health. There has been some controversy regarding the necessity to supplement vitamins back into the diet. The Journal of American Medical Association concluded from a study that every individual should take a multivitamin every day, thus ending that controversy (view article here).

Question: My neck was stiff and out of place and I was thinking of going to a chiropractor. Having never been to a chiropractor, I did a bit of online research about chiropractic and found there was a fair amount of dissension concerning its effectiveness. Can you offer any guidance?

There Are Many Ways to Be Healed!

 “God has appointed in the church… miracles, then gifts of healings…”  (1 Cor. 12:28)

• Greek is: τρ πστις ν τ ατ πνεματι, λλ δ χαρσματα αμτων ν τ ν πνεματι
• Both are plural - χαρσματα & αμτων (charisms of healings)

I desire and prefer immediate miracles (see blog on Miracles – 7 Step Model). However, the Bible states that in addition to miracles, God has provided to us “gifts of healings” (both “gifts” and “healings” are plural in the Greek), which means there is a multiplicity of ways in which God can and will heal us in addition to providing an outright immediate miracle. God’s gifts are special enablements to perform various skills (i.e., Ex. 36:2-8; 1 Cor. 12:11; Col. 1:29; Gal. 2:8).

For Daniel, the results were visible in 10 days (Dan. 1:12-14). Ten days on fruits, veggies and water and his skin glowed (Dan. 1:15)! It is amazing that I could improve my health visibly that much in just 10 days. How is this so? Your body is constantly recreating itself from the inside out, on a moment by moment basis, so awesome nutrition gives your body the tools it needs to create awesome healthy cells. Make food your medicine. Here is a powerful TEDX Testimony of the amazing healing power of the Genesis and Daniel Diet.
