I never take the flue shot. When I was working in a doctor's office we would have so many people come in to get the flu shot, but I never did it. One time the doctor said to me, "Are you going to get the flu shot?" And I said to him that I would after he did. And he just laughed, because neither of us would ever do it.
The body is where the spirit is. Take care of it. Keep it clean. We have everything we need to fight infection in our body if our body is balanced in our immune system. I take vitamins from A to E. It is necessary to have all of the right vitamins. And we need to teach our children.
Our body is the biggest wonder in the world. The Word of Wisdom is not just about coffee and tea. It is about much more than that. It is about other things too. But, how can you tell what is good or bad for your body if you don't know how your body works? You need to learn about it so that you can take care of it and understand what is going on.
There is a right way and a wrong way to everything.
[Grandma’s Recommendations]
Cod Liver Oil is so good for our bodies. I have taken every day of my life. You should take it and give it to your kids. You can give it them in capsules or mix a spoonful in their food. It is very important.
Soda pop is so bad for our bodies. My father, when children would bring soda pops, he would take it away from them and tell them that he would make something much better for them. And he would make them a drink out of fruit juice. They had the fruit syrups in a bottle that he would use and they were very delicious.
Fever is good because it means that your body is working. You don’t need to reduce the fever whenever you get one. When you have very high fever (102 or higher) you do need to cool it off so that you don't get meningitis. That is when the meninges (which are the three matters around the brain) get inflamed, and then they can get infected and cause damage to his brain.
Cutting out the tonsils can cause problems too. You cut them out and you get more infections. I still have my tonsils.
Any little thing you have wrong and the doctors tell you take this antibiotic in case you get an infection. That is not right. I tell them that I do not have an infection yet, and if I do get an infection my system will fight it because my system is capable of fighting it. Antibiotics should not be used so much.
Never serve the milk or water with the meal. Serve it after the meal. The body has different fluids to digest the food. Your saliva is the first one. If you drink other fluids while you eat, your body will not produce the saliva. Also, chewing your food well is important so that the saliva can meet with your food. Once the food enters your body, it is sacred. Sit down and chew it and enjoy it. Don't grovel it. Eat it warm. Small bites. Chew well. And don't get up quickly to leave.
Even socks with lots of elastic cut of the veins and arteries, so the capillaries cannot have proper circulation.
Every system is different. You have to learn about your own body so that you can recognize what it needs or what might be wrong with it.
[Teach Your Children]
You have to talk to the kids and teach them since they are young. You can't wait until they are bigger. They are like sponges during the first six years of their life. You also have to be very watchful to see what they do and notice when something is unusual. That is a sign that something is wrong. We buy our children all of these things, but what we really need to do is watch them and take care of them.
We need to teach them and then show them how to do it. You teach it to your kids when they are young. Then it becomes natural and they don't have to think about it all of the time. If you get in bad habits, it is very hard to change it later. It is so much easier to teach them the right way from the beginning.
Like a nice conversation, you can talk about different parts of the body. You can make a game of it so that they can familiarize themselves with different parts of the body, and you stress immunity. You can tell them it is about the soldiers that defend the body. The antibiotics make the soldiers weak because they do the job of the soldiers and then they can't do their job.
[Book to Read]
Read the book "The Truth about the FDA, Pharmaceuticals and Doctors." It is amazing and shocking what it talks about.
