Letter from Jesus about Christmas

2 Good News Newsletter � November-December 2014

It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking My name out of the season. How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be most easily understood by those of you who have been blessed with children of your own. I don’t care what you call the day. If you want to celebrate My birth, just GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Now, having said that, let Me go on. If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn’t allow a scene depicting My birth, then just get rid of a couple of Santas

and snowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front lawn. If all My followers did that there wouldn’t be any need for such a scene on the town square because there would be many of them all around town.

Stop worrying about the fact that people are calling the tree a holiday tree, instead of a Christmas tree. It was I who made all trees. You can remember Me anytime you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if you wish: I actually spoke of that one in a teaching, explaining who I am in relation to you and what each of our tasks were. If you have forgotten that one, look up John 15: 1 - 8.

If you want to give Me a present in remembrance of My birth, here is my wish list. Choose something from it: 1. Instead of writing protest letters objecting to the way My birthday is being celebrated, write letters of love and hope to soldiers away from home. They are terribly afraid and lonely this time of year. I know, they tell Me all the time. 2. Visit someone in a nursing

home. You don’t have to know them personally. They just need to know that someone cares about them.

3. Instead of writing the President complaining about the wording on the cards his staff sent out this year, why don’t you write and tell him that you’ll be praying for him and his family this year. Then follow up... It will be nice hearing from you again. 4. Instead of giving your children a lot of gifts you can’t afford and

they don’t need, spend time with them. Tell them the story of My birth, and why I came to live with you down here. Hold them in your arms and remind them that I love them. 5. Pick someone that has hurt you in the past and forgive him or her. 6. Did you know that someone in your town will attempt to take their own life this season because they feel so alone and hopeless? Since you don’t know who that person is, try giving everyone you meet a warm smile; it could make the difference. 7. Instead of nit-picking about what the retailer in your town calls the holiday, be patient with the people who work there. Give them a warm smile and a kind word. Even if they aren’t allowed to wish you a “Merry Christmas” that doesn’t keep you from wishing them one. Then stop shopping there on Sabbath. If the store

didn’t make so much money on that day they’d close and let their employees spend the day at home with their families 8. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary-- especially one who takes My love and Good News to those who have never heard My name. 9. Here’s a good one. There are individuals and whole families in your town who not only will have no “Christmas” tree, but neither will they have any presents to give or

receive. If you don’t know them, buy some food and a few gifts and give them to the Salvation Army or some other charity which believes in Me and they will make the delivery for you. 10. Finally, if you want to make a statement about your belief in and loyalty to Me, then behave like a Christian. Don’t do things in secret that you wouldn’t do in My presence. Let people know by your actions that you are one of mine. Don’t forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me and do what I have told you to do. I’ll take care of all the rest. Check out the list above and get to work; time is short. I’ll help you, but the ball is now in your court. And do have a most blessed Christmas with all those whom you love and remember, I LOVE YOU!

Organic Beet Powder is a wonderful cleansing and nourishing tonic that builds the blood, particularly improving the blood quality for menstruating women. It also normalizes the pH balance of the blood (reducing acidity) and purifies the blood by flushing away fatty deposits and improving circulation. Further supporting its

role as a blood purifier, Beet Powder has been used to detoxify and strengthen the liver and spleen.

OPTIMAL NUTRITIONOur Organic Beet Powder provides a wide range of important vitamins, minerals and micronutrients. It is rich in iron, potassium, calcium, magnesium, A, C, B1, B2, B3, B6, copper, phosphorous, sodium, iodine, boron, carbohydrates, protein, and both soluble and insoluble fiber.

BETALAINS, BETANIN, BETAINE AND SAM-EIn addition to the variety of nutrients above, beet root is a unique source of phytonutrients called betalains which give beets their dark red color. Betanin and vulgaxanthin are the two best studied betalains (or pigments) from beets, and both have been shown to provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification support.Organic Beet Powder also contains another extremely valuable phytochemical called betaine which performs various functions in the body. Among other things, betaine helps the liver process fats (which prevents the accumulation of fatty tissues in the liver, especially in heavy drinkers), and also stimulates the production and preservation of the amino acid SAM-e, that is found naturally in the body. SAM-e is best known for boosting certain hormones like dopamine and serotonin. These hormones are responsible for the feelings of relaxation and well-being. Adding our Organic Beet Powder to your diet naturally increases the production of SAM-e in the body and may lead to reduced stress, anxiety, and worry. In addition, proper levels of SAM-e may also protect joints and reduce painful joint inflammation.

BEET FIBERBeet fiber seems to be particularly health-promoting. Pectin, a soluble fiber in beets, binds toxins, heavy metals, and excess hormones that have been dumped into the gut from the liver. The toxins are passed out instead of being reabsorbed. In this way, it naturally cleans the kidneys and gall bladder.

BEET POWDER AND BONE HEALTHMagnesium is an important mineral in healthy bone production and maintenance. Without appropriate levels of magnesium, calcium cannot be utilized effectively. Our Organic Beet Powder is high in magnesium, making it a good vegetable for women concerned with bone health.

SOME POSSIBLE BENEFITS OF OUR ORGANIC BEET POWDER MAY INCLUDE:• Purifying the blood• Cleansing the liver, spleen, and intestines• Normalizing the blood pH• Improving overall cardiovascular health (partially due to

the naturally occurring Dimethylglycine in beet powder)• Boosting the immune system• Flushing the kidneys• Helping build healthy red blood cells

Beet Powder comes from the dried root and is contained in many food and non-food products you probably already eat! Spaghetti sauces, gravy mixes, salad dressings and dry coatings are just some of the ways that beet root powder enters our lives. As a rule, anything made with tomatoes has beet root powder.

My husband and I take one teaspoon of your Organic Beet Powder mixed in water after our rigorous workouts. This powder has everything that is essential to the body and we feel great. I cancelled our expensive liquid supplements after researching and applying herbal knowledge. The beet powder also works well in our vegetable drinks.

Price:10 oz. powder ........................................................ $21.99Suggested Adult Usage: • One or two teaspoons twice daily with food. One

teaspoon of powder provides the nutrition in one beet!! Use to add flavor, color, and nutrition to any recipe.

100% pure Organic Beet Root powder has a tendency to clump so it is not unusual to find some clumps in this powder.

The Christmas party was over. Several of the men were sitting at a table reminiscing about the Christmas days of their childhood. The conversation turned to the best Christmas of their lives. As they went around the table, they noticed one man hadn’t said anything. They asked, “Come on. Frank, What was your best Christmas?” Frank said, “The best Christmas I ever had was when I didn’t even get a present.” The others were surprised. They had to hear the story. Frank began to talk. “I grew up in New York. It was the great depression and we were poor. My Mother had died when I was just eight years old. My Dad had a job but he only worked two or three days a week and that was considered good. We lived in a walk up and we just barely had enough food and clothes. I was a kid and didn’t really notice. My Dad was a proud man. He had one suit. He would wear that suit to work. When he came home, he would take off the jacket and sit in his chair still wearing his shirt, tie and his vest. He had this big old pocket watch that had been given to him by my mother. He would sit in his chair, the chain from watch hanging out, connected to the fob in his vest buttonhole. That

watch was his proudest possession. Sometimes, I would see him, just sitting there, looking at his precious watch. I bet he was thinking of my mother.” “One year, I was about twelve, chemistry sets were the big thing. They cost two dollars. That was big money but every kid wanted a chemistry set including me. I began to pester my Dad about it a month or so before Christmas. You know, I made all the same kid promises. I would be good. I would do my chores. I wouldn’t ask for anything else again. My dad would just say, ‘We’ll see.’ ” “Three days before Christmas he took me to the carts. There was this area where all the small merchants keep their street carts. They would undersell the stores and you could get a good buy. He would take me to a cart and pick out some little toy. ‘Son, would you like something like this?’ I, of course, would tell him, No, I want a chemistry set. We tramped to nearly every cart and him showing me some toy car or toy gun, and me refusing it. I never thought that he didn’t have the money to buy a chemistry set. Finally, he said, “We better go home and come back the next day.” “All the way home, I pouted and

whined about the chemistry set. I repeated the promises. I said I didn’t care if I never got another present. I had to have that chemistry set. I know now that my Dad felt guilty about not being able to give me more. He probably thought he was a failure as a Father and I think he blamed himself for my mother’s death. As we were walking up the stairs he told me that he would see what he could do about getting me the chemistry set. That night I couldn’t even sleep. I could see myself inventing some new material. I could see the New York Times…‘Boy wins Nobel Prize!’ The next day after work, my Dad took me back to the carts. “On the way, I remember, he bought a loaf of bread; he was carrying it under his arm. We came to first cart and he told me to pick out the set I wanted. They were all alike, but went through them, like I was choosing a diamond. I found the right one and I almost yelled. ‘This one. Dad!’ I can still see him, reaching into his pant’s pocket, to get the money. As he pulled the two dollars out, one fluttered to the ground, he bent over to pick it up and as he did, the chain fell out of his vest. The chain swung back and forth. No watch. “In a flash, I realized that my Dad had sold his watch. He sold his most precious possession to buy me a chemistry set. He sold his watch,

the last thing my mother had given him, to buy me a chemistry set. I grabbed his arms and I yelled, ‘No.’ I had never grabbed my Dad before and I certainly had never yelled at him. I can see him, looking at me, and a strange look on his face. ‘No, Dad, you don’t have to buy me anything.’ The tears were burning in my eyes. ‘Dad, I know you love me.’ We walked away from the cart and I remember my Dad holding my hand all the way home.” Frank looked at the men. “You know, there isn’t enough money in the world to buy that moment. You see, at that moment, I knew that my Dad loved me more than anything in the world.” That is the way that God loves us. He didn’t just say it. He showed it. He gave the most precious thing anyone could give. He gave His Son. John 3:16, says, “For God so loved the world (you and me) that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life.” He gave His Son, Jesus, that you and I might have everlasting life. If you haven’t accepted that great gift, accept it now. Just ask Him to forgive you of your sins and to come into your heart and be your Lord and Savior. It is that easy to receive the greatest gift ever given.

On Christmas Eve, 1948, some-where between Wiesbaden and Berlin, a twenty-seven-year-old American pilot gazed into the night sky. The heavens were so full of stars, it seemed they would overflow and tumble to earth in a brilliant display of Christmas generosity and joy.

Hal, as he was known to his crew, wrapped his hands around the yoke of his C-54 cargo plane packed with 20,000 pounds of flour. “This is the real spirit of Christmas,” he thought to himself as he guided his plane toward Tempelhof Air Base in West Berlin. When World War II had ended three years earlier, Germany and its capital city were divided between the Western allies and the Soviet Union. Then, in a grab for power, Stalin blocked ground

transportation into the city. To preserve freedom and keep two and a half million West Berliners from starving, the United States and Great Britain began transporting food and other basic supplies by air. Hal was one of hundreds of Americans who participated in

the historic Berlin Airlift, which was called “Operation Vittles.” That snowy Christmas Eve, as Hal radioed for clearance to land, his mind wandered back six months to the day that had changed his life. He had been standing at the end of the Tempelhof runway, taking home movies of arriving planes, when

he noticed about thirty children on a grassy strip just beyond a barbed wire fence. In broken English, they asked about the planes, how much flour each one carried, and whether the airlift would continue. Although the children had been on meager rations, they were more concerned with freedom than with flour. They wanted what Hal had always had—the opportunity to pursue their dreams. For nearly an hour Hal answered their questions before saying good-bye. As he turned away,

one question lingered in his mind: “What makes these kids different?” All over the world, children were known to beg candy from American servicemen. These children had little to eat, and no candy at all, yet they were grateful for what the airlift had given them and asked for nothing. Their gratitude melted Hal’s heart. Instinctively he wanted to give something back. Digging into his pockets, he found only two sticks of gum. “From little things come big things,” his father used to say. A broad smile crossed Hal’s boyish face. Giving so little to so many could cause a squabble, he reasoned. But a quiet voice within him urged him on.

Hal broke the gum into four pieces and passed it through the fence. Without a word, the four children tore the gum wrappers into strips and passed them to the others. One by one, each small nose was pressed to the paper, breathing in the minty smell. Never had he seen such

expressions of joy and wonder, even at Christmas. As Hal watched in amazement, his mind raced. “If only I had more to give!” he thought. He had his own rations of gum and chocolate. Maybe his buddies would be willing to donate theirs. Just then another C-54 roared over his head and an idea formed in his mind. “I could drop candy from the air,” he said to himself.

This was the beginning of an extraordinary humanitarian endeavor that brought the spirit of Christmas to a world in need of peace and hope, earning Hal Halvorsen the nickname “The Candy Bomber.” Read the rest of

the story in Christmas From Heaven.

The Candy Bomber Colonel Gail S. Halvorsen was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and grew up on small farms in Utah and Idaho. He earned a private pilot license

Training program in September 1941, and then joined the Civil Air Patrol as a pilot. He joined the United States Army Air Corps in June 1942 and trained as a fighter pilot with the Royal Air Force. He then returned to the Army Air Corps and was assigned flight duty in foreign transport operations in the South Atlantic Theater. Following the end of World War II, Russia laid siege to Berlin, cutting off the flow of food and supplies into the city. The blockade began in June 1948 and continued into May 1949. Gail Halvorsen was one of hundreds of US pilots used in a massive airlift to provide sustenance to the people of Germany. He became known as Uncle Wiggly Wings, the Chocolate Flyer, and the Berlin Candy Bomber. His efforts made a substantial impact on the post-war perception of Americans among the

German people. Since then, he has returned to Germany many times, including an assignment as commander of Tempelhof Air Base in western Berlin. In 1974 he was awarded the German Service Cross to the Order of Merit from the Federal Republic of Germany, one of Germany’s highest awards. The Gail S. Halvorsen Elementary School at Rhein-Main Air Base in Frankfurt, Germany, was named in his honor. In 2013, Colonel Halvorsen was present when a secondary school in the Berlin suburb of Zehlendorf was also named in his honor. This marked the first time a school in Berlin has been named after a living namesake. He served in the US Air Force for thirty-one years, much of that time spent in research and development in the space program. After his Air Force career, he was assistant dean of student life at Brigham Young University

from 1978 to 1988. Col. Halvorsen married Alta Jolley of Zion National Park, Utah, in 1949. They are the parents of five children, twenty-four grandchildren, and forty-one great-grandchildren. Following Alta’s death in January 1999, Gail married his high school sweetheart, Lorraine Pace. A member

In 1994, two Americans answered an invitation from the Russian Department of Education to teach morals and ethics (based on biblical principles) in the public schools. They were invited to teach at prisons, businesses, the fire and police departments and a large orphanage. About 100 boys and girls who had been abandoned, abused, and left in the care of a government-run program were inthe orphanage. They relate the following story in their own words: It was nearing the holiday season, 1994, time for our orphans to hear-for the first time-the traditional story of Christmas. We told them about Mary and Joseph arriving in Bethlehem. Finding no room in the inn, the couple went to a stable, where the baby Jesus was born and placed in a manger. Throughout the story, the children and orphanage staff sat in amazement as they listened. Some sat on the edges of their stools, trying to grasp every word. Completing the story, we gave the children three small pieces of cardboard to make a crude manger. Each child was given a small paper square, cut from yellow

napkins I had brought with me. No colored paper was available in the city. Following instructions, the children tore the paper and carefully laid strips in the manger for straw. Small squares of flannel, cut from a worn-out nightgown an American lady was throwing away as she left Russia, were used for the baby’s blanket. A doll-like baby was cut from tan felt we had brought from the United States. The orphans were busy assembling their manger as I walked among them to see if they needed any help. All went well until I got to one table where little Misha sat -- he looked to be about 6 years old and had finished his project. As I looked at the little boy’s manger, I was startled to see not one, but two babies in the manger. Quickly, I called for the translator to ask the lad why there were two babies in the manger. Crossing his arms in front of him and looking at his completed manger scene, the child began to repeat the story very seriously. For such a young boy, who had only heard the Christmas story once, he related the happenings accurately -- until he came to the part where Mary put the baby Jesus in the manger. Then Misha started to ad lib. He made up his own ending to the

story as he said, “And when Maria laid the baby in the manger, Jesus looked at me and asked me if I had a place to stay. I told him I have no mamma and I have no papa, so I don’t have any place to stay. Then Jesus told me I could stay with him. But I told him I couldn’t, because I didn’t have a gift to give him like everybody else did. “But I wanted to stay with Jesus so much, so I thought about what I had that maybe I could use for a gift. I thought maybe if I kept him warm, that would be a good gift. So I asked Jesus, ‘If I keep you warm, will that be a good enough gift?’ “And Jesus told me, ‘If you keep me warm, that will be the best gift anybody ever gave me.’ So I got into the manger, and then Jesus looked at me and he told me I could stay with Him -- for always.” As little Misha finished his story, his eyes brimmed full of tears that splashed down his little cheeks. Putting his hand over his face, his head dropped to the table and his shoulders shook as he sobbed and sobbed. The little orphan had found someone who would never abandon nor abuse him, someone who would stay with him -- FOR ALWAYS.

THE ORIGIN OF Rudolph the Red-Nosed

Reindeer

14 Good News Newsletter � November-December 2014

A guy named Bob May, depressed and

brokenhearted, stared out his drafty apartment window into the chilling December night. His 4-year-old daughter, Barbara, sat on his lap quietly sobbing. Bob’s wife, Evelyn, was dying of cancer. Little Barbara

couldn’t understand why her mommy could never

come home. Barbara looked up into her dad’s

eyes and asked, “Why isn’t Mommy just like everybody

else’s Mommy?” Bob’s jaw tightened and his eyes welled with tears. Her question brought waves of grief, but also of anger. It had been the story of Bob’s life. Life always had to be different for Bob. Being small when he was a kid, Bob was often bullied by other boys. He was too little at the time to compete in

sports. He was often called names he’d rather not remember. From childhood, Bob was different and never seemed to fit in. Bob completed college, married his loving wife and was grateful to get his job as a copywriter at Montgomery Ward during the Great Depression. Then he was blessed with his little girl. But it was all short-lived. Evelyn’s bout with cancer stripped them of all their savings and now Bob and his daughter were forced to live in a two-room apartment in the Chicago slums. Evelyn died just days before Christmas in 1938. Bob struggled to give hope to his child, for whom he couldn’t even afford to buy a Christmas gift. But if he couldn’t buy a gift, he was determined a make one - a storybook! Bob had created an animal character in his own mind and told the animal’s story to little Barbara to give her comfort and hope. Again and again Bob told the story, embellishing it more

Page 15: Good News - Hope International 2014/GoodNews_NOV-DEC_Final... · just get rid of a couple of Santas and snowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front ... fatty tissues

with each telling. Who was the character? What was the story all about? The story Bob created was his own autobiography in fable form. The character he created was a misfit outcast like he was. The name of the character? A little reindeer named Rudolph, with a big shiny nose. Bob finished the book just in time to give it to his little girl on Christmas Day. But the story doesn’t end there. The general manager of Montgomery Ward caught wind of the little storybook and offered Bob a nominal fee to purchase the rights to print the book. Wards went on to print, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and distribute it to children visiting Santa Claus in their stores. By 1946, Wards had printed and distributed more than six million copies of Rudolph. That same year, a major publisher wanted to purchase the rights from Wards to print an updated version of the book. In an unprecedented gesture of kindness, the CEO of Wards returned all rights back to Bob May. The book became a best seller. Many toy and marketing deals followed and Bob May, now remarried with a growing family, became wealthy from the story he created to comfort his grieving daughter. But the story doesn’t end there either. Bob’s brother-in-law, Johnny

Marks, made a song adaptation to Rudolph. Though the song was turned down by such popular vocalists as Bing Crosby and Dinah Shore, it was recorded by the singing cowboy, Gene Autry. “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” was released in 1949 and became a phenomenal success, selling more records than any other Christmas song, with the exception of “White Christmas.” The gift of love that Bob May created for his daughter so long ago kept on returning to bless him again and again. And Bob May learned the lesson, just like his dear friend Rudolph, that being different isn’t so bad. In fact, being different can be a blessing!

The U.S. Standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That’s an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Because that’s the way they built them in England, and English expatriates designed the U.S. Railroads. Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that’s the gauge they used. Why did ‘they’ use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same

jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing. Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England because that’s the spacing of the wheel ruts. So, who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe

(including England ) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since. And the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome , they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore, the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from

the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses.

Now, the twist to the story: When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, you will notice that there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah. The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit larger, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the

factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses’ behinds.

So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world’s most advanced transportation system was determined over 2,000 years ago by the width of a horse’s rear end.

So... why do you keep Sunday? :)

If you’ve ever suffered through kidney stones or gallstones, you know how excruciatingly painful they can be! If you haven’t, you are fortunate, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t at risk. We now have an all-natural, herbal

product that not only helps prevent stones, but also helps break up existing stones for easy, safe, and most importantly: PAIN-FREE elimination.

StoneCrusher HEALTH BENEFITS OF OUR STONE CRUSHER: • Balances and improves digestion • Stimulates healthy menstrual flow • Helps detoxify the liver and kidneys • Provides relief from pain and inflammation • Assists in eliminating foreign particles, mucous, and other obstructions

throughout the body

STONE CRUSHER AND PAIN RELIEF • Brazilian researchers have discovered powerful, long-lasting pain-blocking

activity in the roots, stems and leaves of several different species of Phyllanthus, including Phyllanthus niruri (Chanca Piedra). In fact, one extract proved to be about four times more potent than a popular NSAID and three times the strength of morphine against inflammatory pain (for post-operative pain). The pain blockers in Phyllanthus have been identified by the Brazilians as gallic acid, ethyl ester, and the steroidal compounds as beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol.

GALLSTONES AND KIDNEY STONES • Gallstones and kidney stones are a major health problem in the United States.

In fact, it is estimated that around 20,000,000 people in the U.S. suffer from these conditions each year, with around 600,000 of them receiving treatment. With the introduction of Chanca Piedra, health care practitioners have acquired a powerful plant ally in helping their patients maintain optimal kidney, gallbladder, liver, and bladder health.

• Kidney stones form when certain substances, calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, magnesium ammonium phosphate, uric acid or cystine - become so concentrated in the urine that they form into hard, solid lumps. This is usually due to chronic dehydration, infection, various kidney disorders, deficiencies in magnesium, or excess purines or oxalates in the diet. The main symptom of kidney stones is pain in the left or right lower back or pelvic area that becomes excruciating as the stone attempts to leave the kidney through narrow tubes called ureters.

DOCTORS USE CHANCA PIEDRA WORLDWIDE: • Dr. Wolfram Wiemann of Nuremburg, Germany has used Chanca Piedra in

his medical practice in Germany. He reported that 94% of all the cases he encountered among his patients with gallstones or kidney stones were “completely eliminated” within one to two weeks.

Price:90 capsules .....................................................$12.99 Suggested Adult Usage: • 2-3 capsules, twice a day on an empty stomach.

May increase to 3-4 times a day for increased pain relief. (This dose is based on a 150 lb. individual. Dose should be adjusted according to weight.)

Pregnancy and Breast-feeding • Not enough is known about the use of Chanca

Piedra during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.

Drug Interactions: • Lithium: Chanca Piedra has diuretic properties.

Taking this herb might decrease how well the body gets rid of lithium. This could increase how much lithium is in the body and result in serious side effects. Talk with your health care provider before using this product if you are taking lithium. Your lithium dose might need to be changed.

• Blood-Sugar Regulating Drugs: Chanca Piedra might decrease blood sugar. Taking this herb along with blood sugar-lowering medications might cause your blood sugar to go too low. Monitor your blood sugar closely.

Welcome to Hope for Health. Our featured product today is Stone Crusher, also known as Chanca Piedra. Chanca Piedra, literally translated, means “stone breaker” – which is how we chose the name for this remarkable product. If you have not had kidney, bladder or gallbladder stones, you more than likely know someone that has. Consider these unbelievable statistics: • Twenty million people suffer

from these conditions each year!

• Over 600,000 people end up in a clinic or the emergency room each year for stones!

• Kidney stones have a very high rate of recurrence.

• Ten percent of women and twenty percent of men will have kidney stones during their lifetime.

• The number of Americans getting kidney stones has doubled since 1994!

At Hope for Health we know first hand how many people suffer with stones as we can hardly keep Stone Crusher on the shelves! We constantly receive calls from people who have heard about Stone Crusher from a family member, friend or neighbor. Many times people will hear about it third hand, such as their sister’s babysitter’s neighbor; the product is so remarkable that word of mouth spreads the good news! When Hope for Health moved from Illinois to North Carolina in 2012, our executive director, Joe Olson, was in North Carolina supervising the building projects while the rest of the staff were still working out of Illinois. One of the construction workers mentioned to Joe that he was having considerable pain from kidney stones and was supposed to have surgery the next day. He

indicated how much he wanted to avoid the surgery but did not know what else to do. Joe had an assortment of Hope for Health products with him for

just such an opportunity, so he offered Stone Crusher to the worker to try. The next day Ray came to work and said that he cancelled his surgery appointment because he felt so much better and had no pain. He said it was the first day in many years that he had no pain and he was amazed. A week later, he went in to see his doctor, they took x-rays and the doctor was stunned to see that the stones were gone… completely gone. It was as if he never even had stones before. As you can imagine, he told everyone he knew. He even talked about it at his Baptist church testimonial service. The word spread throughout the neighborhood and surrounding areas so quickly that people were literally driving on to the property asking Joe for Stone Crusher. He had to have cases of it shipped from Illinois so he could handle the walk-in traffic! People weren’t concerned that we didn’t have an office or even a building; they just wanted this amazing relief for their stones! Ray kept six bottles on hand just to give to people with stone problems! The relief that was felt by Ray is just one of hundreds of remarkable results we hear all the time. The pain is so severe

that people must seek out relief; you cannot ignore this type of pain! People describe the

pain as being stabbed, and may double a person over, and women compare it to giving birth! Usually people don’t know that they are having symptoms of kidney or gallstones until the unbearable pain comes on. Here are some symptoms that you may want to watch out for: • Sudden need to urinate • Pain that can be felt from your

side to your back and lower abdomen

• Nausea and/or vomiting • Blood in the urine • Acidic smell and cloudy

appearance of urine • Fever or infection Stone Crusher has been shown to give almost immediate relief to the pain and can crush the stones to allow for easy elimination. Stone Crusher has the ability to relax urinary and bile tracts when ingested, thereby allowing a much easier passage of foreign particles through the body.

Research in the 1990’s demon-strated that it also helps reduce the formation of obstructions in the gallbladder and kidney for optimal flow of internal fluids. A 2002 study in India found that it also helps increase bile secretion from the liver. Extra bile helps the body digest food and liquids more effectively to ensure greater nutrition is absorbed and that waste is eliminated more efficiently. Kidney stones are formed when urine becomes too concentrated, usually due to chronic dehydration, infection or various kidney disorders. Drinking LOTS of pure water every day will help keep your body working well and can help avoid stone problems! Hope for Health recommends half your body weight in ounces of pure water each day. An example would be, if you weigh 150 pounds you would want to drink 75 ounces of water. That would be about 4-5 10 ounce bottles of water a day. Uric acid is a chemical your body produces to digest purines, which

occur naturally in most foods. Oxalates also naturally occur in foods. Maintaining low uric acid levels through restricting purines and limiting oxalate-rich foods may help guard against certain types of kidney stones. Flour products, including whole-wheat flour and breads, crisp breads, fiber-rich cereals, buckwheat, amaranth and snack foods, such as cake and baked chips, are considered high-oxalate because they contain 10 milligrams or more of oxalates per serving, according to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Each serving supplies roughly one-quarter of your daily-recommended maximum. Although flour is not high in purines, many flour-based foods contain yeast, which is purine-rich. Common sources of yeast include sandwich bread, bagels, dinner rolls, pizza crust, pastries and pretzels. To maintain low oxalate

and uric acid levels, consume yeast and flour-free starches, such as rice, oats, quinoa

and pearled barley and popcorn, most

often. The first notable study of Stone Crusher (chanca piedra) in relation to kidney stone “shattering” and removal was conducted in 1990, at the Paulista School

of Medicine in Sao Paulo, Brazil, using both humans, and rats, which had kidney stones. Both groups were given Stone Crusher over a 1-3 month period, at the end of which time it was reported that the Stone Crusher had promoted the elimination of stones. In a 1999 study, researchers confirmed that Stone Crusher effectively repressed the formation of calcium-oxalate crystals, and also decreased the size of existing stones. Not only that, but it stated that this effect was found even at very high levels of calcium oxalate, which indicated that Stone Crusher might be a useful preventative aid for people with a history of kidney stones. So, if you have had problems with kidney or other stones, you may want to take Stone Crusher as a daily supplement. In 2002 researchers seeded the bladders

of rats with calcium oxalate crystals and

treated them for 42 days with Stone Crusher. Their results showed that Stone Crusher strongly inhibited the growth and number of stones formed over the control group, and most of the animals passed the stones that had formed. Stone Crusher has also been found to be an effective herbal supplement for gallstones. Gallstones form when cholesterol and bile pigments become so concentrated that they form lumps inside the gall bladder. They can be as small as a pinhead or as large as a golf ball in size. Stones that remain in the gallbladder rarely, in fact, cause problems, but if one of them blocks either the cystic duct (the tube that leads from the gallbladder to the bile duct) or the bile duct (the tube running from the liver and gallbladder into the intestines), you can be in for some trouble! The most common symptom is upper abdominal pain on the right side of the body, where the liver and gallbladder are situated. The pain may start suddenly and be intense

or it may be a slow, dull pain, or occur intermittently. The pain may also shift from the abdominal area to the upper back or shoulder. Prolonged blockage of a bile duct can cause a buildup of waste products in the biliary tract and in the bloodstream, leading

to an infection. It can also prevent the release of bile into the small intestine to help digest food or cause a serious bacterial infection in the liver. A blocked bile duct may result in inflammation of the gallbladder, or possibly cause the pancreas to be compromised. It would be much easier to take a few capsules of Stone Crusher every day than worry about that happening! Why wait for the ticking bomb to explode! Dr. Wolfram Wiemann of Nuremburg, Germany has used Stone Crusher in his medical practice. He reported 94% of all the cases he encountered among his patients with gallstones and kidney stones were completely eliminated within one or two weeks. Another physician from the Amazon region, when interviewed about the use of Stone Crusher for his patients, said that this herb worked 100% of the time without any side effects! One hundred percent… now that is a testimony that’s hard to ignore! A bottle of Stone Crusher costs $12.99… compare that to a hospital bill that would probably be tens of thousands of dollars! Stone Crusher has been used successfully for a number of other health conditions, such as: • Prostate disorders • Bladder infections

• Diuretic needs

• Helping to ease painful joints

• Inflammatory conditions of the liver

• A digestive aid • Viruses of the reproductive

tract • Inflammation of the rectal

lining • Poor circulation • Excessive phlegm • Chest infections and coughs • Anti-spasmodic and muscle

relaxant to the urinary tract • A pain reliever • An appetite stimulator • A stimulant for menstrual flow As we have mentioned in other presentations, these amazing herbs that God has provided for us often have so many uses, you could literally just have a bottle of Stone Crusher in your cabinet and take care of many of the health problems your family may encounter! This potent little

herb has also been shown to be effective in helping to maintain normal blood pressure levels, a fact that has now been confirmed by research as well! In 1995 researchers in India gave human subjects with abnormal blood pressure problems, powdered extract from the herb’s leaves in capsule form, and reported that blood pressure levels were balanced in all subjects. On top of that, in this same study it was reported that blood sugar levels were also found to have reduced significantly in human subjects. A further study documented that Stone Crusher may help with neuropathy pain, and vision complications due to high blood sugar levels. Hope for Health receives daily calls from people who are struggling to control their high blood sugar levels. These same people will often have kidney stones, or be prone to stones. Again it is great to be able to combat more than one issue with only one herb! In 1996 researchers at a Brazilian university found that Stone Crusher was SEVEN times more potent as a pain reliever than aspirin or acetaminophen! Researchers

found that Stone Crusher was able to inhibit the neurotransmitter processes that relay and receive pain signals in the brain. Unlike aspirin, which has been shown to harm the stomach and cause ulcers, Stone Crusher contains anti-ulcerous properties that will actually protect the stomach! Imagine that – not having to worry about side effects when you need pain relief! The pain-relieving qualities are probably why so many people taking Stone Crusher for kidney stones report such quick relief, long before the herb has had time to even break down and expel a stone. Another important fact is that Stone Crusher’s liver-protecting activity has been established through clinical research in animals and humans. Researchers have reported that two novel plant chemicals in this herb, phyllanthin and hypophyllanthin, can help maintain normal cholesterol levels and help protect the liver from damage induced by alcohol, and help normalize a “fatty liver”. Studies on rats and mice confirm that Stone Crusher effectively protects against liver damage

from various chemical liver toxins. Modern life has stressed the liver of the average person. Liver stressors include: • Consuming dairy, meat, and

sugar • Consuming fried and fast foods, • Consuming processed foods

with preservatives, antibiotics and pesticides

• Drinking water containing chlorine and parasites

• The use of hormones in young women as contraception

• The use of hormones in menopausal women as a means of preventing bone density loss and cardiovascular problems

• The use of steroid hormones to combat chronic inflammatory conditions

• The use of toxic chemotherapies to combat abnormal cell growth

Stone Crusher can be used, cycled on and off throughout the year, to assist the liver in performing its normal function of detoxification

of the body naturally and without side effects. Stone Crusher, or chanca piedra, would be a blessing if it only helped eliminate stones, however, with all the added benefits it is truly a blessing! One could even call it miraculous! This small herb is only visible during the rainy season, and found only in the countries with tropical rain forests. You may not yet be someone that turns to herbs first when health problems arise, but at Hope for Health, we are hoping to change that! How much better to take care of yourself whenever possible! Our prayer is that as you hear the personal testimonies, as you hear the science to support the herbs, that you will consider them as the first line of defense for your family’s health. A study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that nearly 70% of people taking herbal medicines, most of whom were well educated and had a higher than average income, were hesitant to

tell their physicians that they were having success with herbs. Many doctors are closed-minded when it comes to using herbs, but they cannot deny the results! A number of people will go back to their doctors after receiving a diagnosis of some illness or situation, and the doctor will have given them prescriptions they did not fill; instead they will have taken the herbs. When the doctor sees that you are better and realizes that you did not fill your prescriptions, they have no choice but to recognize the results the herbs have produced! The doctors will marvel and tell you to keep doing what you are doing! They may not change their methods, they may chalk it up to an anomaly, but they cannot deny that herbs do work! The use of herbal supplements has increased dramatically over the past thirty years. The World Health Organization estimates that eighty percent of people worldwide rely on herbal supplements for some part of their primary health care. In Germany, about 600-700 plant-based medicines are available and are prescribed

by seventy percent of German physicians. In the past 20 years in the United States, public dissatisfaction with the cost of prescription medications, combined with an interest in natural or organic remedies, has led to an increase in herbal supplement use. The improvements in quality control along with advances in clinical research have brought herbal use more into the mainstream. Plants have been used for medicinal purposes long before history even began being recorded. The Native Americans and other tribes all around the world used herbs to maintain the health of their people. Often tribes in different parts of the world were all using the same plants. They had all discovered the benefits of the herbs without any form of worldwide communication. In the early 19th century, when chemical analysis first became available, scientists began to

modify the active ingredients found in plants. The chemists slowly began making their own version of plant compounds and because of this, the use of herbal remedies declined and drugs increased.

Almost one fourth of pharmaceutical drugs are derived from herbs. You may be wondering why it is, then, that physicians, scientists and pharmacists ever stopped using herbs? The answer is simple … MONEY! The pharmaceutical companies are unable to patent a plant. So they pull out the active molecules, and then tinker with them a bit until they are unique enough to patent. Then they give their new product a fancy name, and sell them back to us for a LOT more money than the original herbal source cost! If they were only making money on these fancy drugs, that would be disturbing enough, but the drugs, because they have been manipulated, often cause adverse reactions. Some adverse drug reactions may not be very serious, but others cause the death, hospitalization, or serious injury of more than 2 million people in the United States each year, including more than 100,000 deaths! In fact, adverse drug reactions are one of the leading causes of death in the United States! Most of the time, these dangerous events could, and should, have been avoided. Even the less drastic reactions, such as change in mood, loss of appetite, and nausea, may seriously diminish the quality of life. If any other company in the world were causing 100,000 deaths a year, they would be out of business.

Why do we allow the drug companies to continue killing us? Due to these horrendous statistics, people are once again looking to the earth and to herbs for their health remedies. People are rediscovering the fact that you are what you eat and that the best option for their health is to seek out that which their Creator has provided for their health. “The Lord has given some simple herbs of the field that at times are beneficial; and if every family were educated in how to use these herbs in case of sickness, much suffering might be prevented, and no doctor need be called. These old-fashioned, simple herbs, used intelligently, would have recovered many sick who have died under drug medication. There are herbs that are harmless, the use of which will tide over many apparently serious difficulties. “There are many simple herbs which, if our nurses would learn the value of, they could use in the place of drugs, and find very effective.” — Letter 90, 1908. “We have been instructed that in our treatment of the sick we should discard the use of drugs. There are simple herbs that can be used for the

Aloe Vera would have to be the MOST impressive of all herbs. There is nothing on this planet that offers the variety of amazing benefits as this herb. It is most known for its astounding

effect in accelerating recovery from wounds and burns (including radiation burns). But... there is much much more that Aloe offers!

Hope for Health’s Aloe Vera Can Help:• Assist in preventing abnormal cell growth.• Maintain healthy cholesterol levels.• Raise blood oxygenation and repair “sludgy” and “sticky”

blood.• Reduce joint and muscle pain.• Ease inflammation.• Assist in preventing kidney stone formation.• Digestive and stomach disorders.• Alkalize our bodies and assist in balancing overly-acidic

dietary habits.• Prevent and reduce yeast-type infections.• Boost cardiovascular performance and physical endurance.• Soothe the intestines and lubricate the digestive tract.• Improve constipation issues.

Customer Testimonials:“After only two weeks of taking Hope for Health’s Aloe Vera, the pain and inflammantion in my knees has all but disappeared!” ~A.Y.

“I have my husband take Aloe Vera everyday. He used to have bowel problems, but NOT anymore - thanks to this fantastic product!” ~H.L.

Scientific Studies:Modern clinical studies have shown that aloe is one of the BEST herbs for soothing skin and offering relief to burns, wounds, poison ivy and other chronic skin conditions. It works by inhibiting the formation of tissue-injurying compounds that gather at the site of a skin injury.

Scientists have also concluded after many years of investigating, that aloe will support the growth of healthy cells and boost the immune system. A molecule in the aloe stimulates the body to produce macrophages, which means “big eater”- the macrophages digest unwanted substances in our bodies!

Patients with blood sugar problems who have taken Aloe Vera for 3 months have experienced a significant drop in fasting blood sugar levels. It also has shown to help to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

Fun Fact:Aloe Vera has been used for so long as a natural remedy that it is actually referenced SIX times in the Bible!

Price:100 capsules ................................................................ $12.99

Suggested Adult Usage: • Take 1 capsule twice a day on an empty stomach (otherwise

with food if not tolerated well).

The wonderful thing is that this natural product is 100% compatible with the human body. Taking

Aloe regularly and continually may produce many health benefits and cessation of troubling symptoms.
