In fact, 6 00:00:15.820 --> 00:00:20.820 I'm not sure who doesn't think about health and wellness at some point in their 7 00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:24.870 life. There's life hacks. There's how-to videos, medications, 8 00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:26.520 doctor's opinions, 9 00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:31.230 so many ideas of healing and preventative maintenance for your health. 10 00:00:31.650 --> 00:00:34.980 But there's got to be something that is the best way. 11 00:00:34.980 --> 00:00:39.600 And so I'm excited to have Dr. Rick Lee from Original Healing Ministry with us 12 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:41.910 today on Community Spotlight. Rick, thanks for being here. 13 00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:43.110 <v 2>Thank you for inviting me.</v> 14 00:00:43.470 --> 00:00:46.620 <v 1>So hey, I guess tell me a little about yourself, Rick,</v> 15 00:00:46.620 --> 00:00:49.710 because you have a passion for health, 16 00:00:50.010 --> 00:00:54.150 but also through the lens of God's healing and 17 00:00:54.330 --> 00:00:56.520 biblical health as well. 18 00:00:56.730 --> 00:00:58.140 <v 2>Correct? Correct. Well,</v> 19 00:00:58.170 --> 00:01:01.980 my journey started many years ago before I became a Christian. 20 00:01:02.730 --> 00:01:07.560 I came down with diabetes and Lord led me to a naturopathic 21 00:01:07.570 --> 00:01:12.390 doctor who told me I can get on insulin or I can try to do it naturally. 22 00:01:13.170 --> 00:01:17.190 And if we're going to do this thing naturally, we have to heal your pancreas, 23 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.440 not just manage blood sugar. 24 00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:23.640 You'll never get over your diabetes if you don't heal your pancreas. 25 00:01:23.730 --> 00:01:26.580 And so after that experience, when I became a Christian, 26 00:01:26.910 --> 00:01:31.860 started reading the Bible and noticed all the healing that the Jesus and 27 00:01:31.860 --> 00:01:33.090 the disciples were doing, 28 00:01:34.080 --> 00:01:37.230 ended up going to a Christian naturopathic school. 29 00:01:38.070 --> 00:01:42.270 And there I learned the properties that's in clay, 30 00:01:42.330 --> 00:01:47.310 in mud, even saliva. And how these things were possible. 31 00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:51.420 They weren't just miracles. Jesus did do many miracles of healing, 32 00:01:51.450 --> 00:01:54.840 but they were not all miracles. And so in naturopathic school, 33 00:01:55.170 --> 00:01:59.910 I learned about the different properties of nature in the herbs, 34 00:01:59.940 --> 00:02:03.630 the water and how they apply to anatomy and physiology. 35 00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:08.580 And then once you understand God has a health plan and understand that you're 36 00:02:08.670 --> 00:02:12.120 made in his image and likeness and understand anatomy, 37 00:02:12.420 --> 00:02:16.860 you put the two together and you have the Ultimate Health Plan 38 00:02:16.950 --> 00:02:18.720 available bar none today. 39 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:23.700 <v 1>Wow. Wow. So you say that all healing comes from Christ.</v> 40 00:02:24.030 --> 00:02:25.200 <v 2>He's the great physician.</v> 41 00:02:25.590 --> 00:02:26.640 <v 1>Tell me one more about that.</v> 42 00:02:27.270 --> 00:02:30.690 <v 2>Well, we know Christ is the creator.</v> 43 00:02:31.260 --> 00:02:33.780 And so if he created everything, 44 00:02:34.590 --> 00:02:39.090 then he knows better than anybody else how this human body works. In fact, 45 00:02:40.260 --> 00:02:44.130 there's a Reader's Digest article back in 1982 that says 46 00:02:45.450 --> 00:02:46.770 how life began. 47 00:02:47.370 --> 00:02:50.790 And the scientists at Ames Nassau 48 00:02:52.350 --> 00:02:56.190 discovered that every single element that's in the soil out there in that dirt 49 00:02:56.490 --> 00:02:57.750 is in the human body. 50 00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:02.200 And so when you realize the human body needs 88 different nutrients to be 51 00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:06.730 healthy, and then you know what organs need, what nutrients, 52 00:03:06.730 --> 00:03:11.710 and you realize if you have a deficiency in vitamins or minerals in that organ, 53 00:03:11.980 --> 00:03:15.400 then you know which disease is coming in your direction. 54 00:03:16.420 --> 00:03:21.310 It's just fascinating that God took and created man from the dust of the ground. 55 00:03:21.850 --> 00:03:25.090 And in that dust is vitamins and minerals, 56 00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:30.220 the periodic table of elements that people know of those 114 I think it is, 57 00:03:30.220 --> 00:03:32.320 and maybe a couple of more since I graduated from that. 58 00:03:32.920 --> 00:03:33.753 <v 1>School.</v> 59 00:03:34.450 --> 00:03:38.350 <v 2>But 88 of those elements are in the human body.</v> 60 00:03:38.770 --> 00:03:42.760 So that's really what heals. Now, we're not talking about symptoms, 61 00:03:44.140 --> 00:03:46.240 we're actually talking about healing how to heal the body. 62 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.860 <v 1>Right. I should mention that you're based in Hendersonville, North Carolina.</v> 63 00:03:50.870 --> 00:03:51.820 Yes, correct. 64 00:03:51.880 --> 00:03:56.680 And you can also find Dr. Rick Lee's website original 65 00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.630 healing.org. 66 00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:00.033 <v 2>Ky.</v> 67 00:04:01.160 --> 00:04:01.450 <v 1>Ky.</v> 68 00:04:01.450 --> 00:04:03.190 <v 2>Correct. We switch from org to KY.</v> 69 00:04:03.700 --> 00:04:07.390 <v 1>Original Healing ky. Correct. So tell me this,</v> 70 00:04:07.630 --> 00:04:09.610 all of those elements that are in the human body, 71 00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:12.820 how do we live by the principles that you find in scripture? 72 00:04:13.330 --> 00:04:13.990 <v 2>Well, first of all,</v> 73 00:04:13.990 --> 00:04:17.860 we have to understand that God does have a health message and that health 74 00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:21.940 message is part of the great commission. 75 00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:26.980 You see in Matthew 28, 18 through 20, 76 00:04:27.340 --> 00:04:28.360 we know the gospel. 77 00:04:28.810 --> 00:04:31.960 This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached to all the world for a witness and 78 00:04:31.960 --> 00:04:34.810 to all nation and then shall the income. 79 00:04:35.380 --> 00:04:38.680 So this gospel as a witness has to go to all nations. 80 00:04:39.430 --> 00:04:42.160 But most people don't realize in Psalm 67, 81 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.970 2 thy way may be known upon earth 82 00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:50.080 thy saving health among all nations. 83 00:04:50.620 --> 00:04:54.400 So God has a health message that goes with the gospel and actually the gospel 84 00:04:54.400 --> 00:04:57.820 and health is synonymous. Let me give you an example of that. 85 00:04:58.210 --> 00:05:02.470 If you go to Acts chapter four and take a look at 86 00:05:02.830 --> 00:05:05.860 verse 10 and verse 12, 87 00:05:06.520 --> 00:05:11.440 the same word for whole in verse 88 00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:16.030 10 is the same Greek word for 89 00:05:16.090 --> 00:05:16.923 salvation. 90 00:05:17.770 --> 00:05:22.020 So God has intertwined salvation and health in his 91 00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:24.280 healthcare program. Now, 92 00:05:24.280 --> 00:05:28.330 that's the only place in scripture I found the two used in the same root Greek 93 00:05:28.330 --> 00:05:29.163 word. 94 00:05:29.170 --> 00:05:33.910 But the fact that he would use the same word for health and salvation is 95 00:05:33.910 --> 00:05:38.800 pretty amazing. Like the sick man, he said, well, 96 00:05:38.810 --> 00:05:42.760 that'll be made whole. And when you look at that word whole, 97 00:05:42.850 --> 00:05:47.110 he's talking about physically, mentally, and spiritually. 98 00:05:48.220 --> 00:05:50.290 <v 1>Right? So for a lot of folks,</v> 99 00:05:50.290 --> 00:05:55.270 Rick health and weight loss are huge 100 00:05:55.270 --> 00:05:58.760 points of concern, but also points of emphasis right now. 101 00:05:59.060 --> 00:06:03.020 And when you think of scripture and how I always view health and wellness in 102 00:06:03.020 --> 00:06:03.560 scripture, 103 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:08.240 I think of how God tells us that our bodies are a temple and that we should 104 00:06:08.690 --> 00:06:12.650 take care and steward our bodies well for his glory, 105 00:06:13.010 --> 00:06:14.990 but also to honor him with what he's given us. 106 00:06:15.350 --> 00:06:17.660 And so when you think about weight loss, 107 00:06:17.810 --> 00:06:20.060 it's a big point of emphasis for a lot of folks today. 108 00:06:21.200 --> 00:06:24.800 What's your perspective on what the Bible has to say about overall health, 109 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.360 but more specifically weight loss? 110 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:31.610 <v 2>Well, it is the same formula for heart disease or weight loss. And that is God's</v> 111 00:06:33.950 --> 00:06:38.570 what I call 10 doctors. And you can find those in scripture. 112 00:06:38.660 --> 00:06:42.980 Godly trust is number one. You have to trust God with your life. 113 00:06:43.610 --> 00:06:47.690 And that's Genesis two 17, doctor Fresh Air, 114 00:06:48.440 --> 00:06:52.310 the body uses negative ions, not positive ions. 115 00:06:52.610 --> 00:06:57.230 Genesis one, six and seven daily exercise, doctor, exercise, 116 00:06:57.230 --> 00:07:01.370 Genesis two 15, sunshine, Genesis one 16, 117 00:07:01.790 --> 00:07:05.840 proper rest the body. There's the weekly cycle of rest. 118 00:07:06.350 --> 00:07:08.630 The body has a daily cycle. 119 00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:13.730 The organs are doing something at all hours during the day. A quick example, 120 00:07:14.090 --> 00:07:17.360 your adrenal glands reset at between seven and 9:00 AM in the morning. 121 00:07:17.450 --> 00:07:18.650 You don't get a good breakfast. 122 00:07:19.010 --> 00:07:21.080 You're not going to be able to deal with stress very well. 123 00:07:21.710 --> 00:07:24.710 The liver resets between one and 3:00 AM in the morning. 124 00:07:26.450 --> 00:07:31.220 You are up 12 1 2 o'clock in the morning. The liver does not reset and you 125 00:07:31.220 --> 00:07:32.480 don't get the enzyme. 126 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:36.590 The liver produces over a hundred thousand enzymes a day for the work the body 127 00:07:36.590 --> 00:07:40.040 has to do. Nothing takes place in your body without an enzyme. 128 00:07:40.490 --> 00:07:43.010 So there's the daily cycle, the weekly cycle. 129 00:07:43.940 --> 00:07:48.590 Then we get into Dr. Water. Nothing happens in the body without water. 130 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:52.610 That's Genesis two 10, always temperate, doctor temperate. 131 00:07:52.610 --> 00:07:57.350 Genesis chapter two verses 16 and 17 and Dr. Nutrition, 132 00:07:57.350 --> 00:07:59.540 Genesis chapter one, verse 29. 133 00:08:00.590 --> 00:08:04.100 So those doctors apply to 134 00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:09.410 anatomy is the best health plan in this world. 135 00:08:09.770 --> 00:08:13.970 But see, we study the Bible, we look at the book of nature, 136 00:08:14.270 --> 00:08:18.980 but yet we're made in God's own image and likeness and God 137 00:08:18.980 --> 00:08:22.010 tells us how to take care of this body. Three John two, 138 00:08:22.010 --> 00:08:23.240 beloved above all things, 139 00:08:23.690 --> 00:08:28.520 I wish that thou would prosper and be in health even as thy soul 140 00:08:28.520 --> 00:08:33.170 prosperous next to your salvation. God has your health as a 141 00:08:33.170 --> 00:08:36.920 priority when you understand these 10 doctors. 142 00:08:37.700 --> 00:08:40.940 Weight loss is a lifestyle. It's not a diet, it's not a fad. 143 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:43.940 You have to adjust your lifestyle, 144 00:08:44.090 --> 00:08:48.500 your diet to these 10 doctors and everybody at birth and their 145 00:08:48.500 --> 00:08:52.610 DNA has a weight. 146 00:08:52.610 --> 00:08:57.090 We're supposed to be our biological weight at birth, our height, our weight, 147 00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:01.680 everything is at birth because of vanity, 148 00:09:01.680 --> 00:09:04.620 because of whatever people want to look a certain way, they go to the gym, 149 00:09:04.630 --> 00:09:09.150 build muscles. And so we throw off what God has designed for us to be. 150 00:09:09.990 --> 00:09:12.660 And so there we start trying to compensate in other ways. 151 00:09:14.400 --> 00:09:17.370 <v 1>Someone listening now would like to get in touch with you.</v> 152 00:09:17.370 --> 00:09:22.320 What's the best way to find you to ask questions 153 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.630 where they have 'em? Talk me through that. 154 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.770 <v 2>Well, they can contact me at original healing at</v> 155 00:09:28.950 --> 00:09:33.360 8 2 8 2 0 9 6 9 9 9. 156 00:09:34.110 --> 00:09:35.700 Or they could go to our website, 157 00:09:35.790 --> 00:09:39.270 original healing Ky and I have a contact 158 00:09:40.500 --> 00:09:43.740 box there where they can fill out the information and send in a question. 159 00:09:44.280 --> 00:09:46.200 So there's two ways that they can get ahold of me. 160 00:09:46.380 --> 00:09:49.500 And we're right across the street from Advent Health Hospital. 161 00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:53.400 We take walk-ins so you can come see me, talk to me face to face. 162 00:09:53.520 --> 00:09:57.450 <v 1>So if somebody else would like to do some research for their self,</v> 163 00:09:57.630 --> 00:09:59.850 you've given a lot of verses, 164 00:10:00.570 --> 00:10:05.370 but would you have some advice of where they can go to maybe study the 165 00:10:05.380 --> 00:10:09.150 Bible more and learn what God has to say about health? 166 00:10:09.990 --> 00:10:11.670 <v 2>This is an interesting topic.</v> 167 00:10:11.820 --> 00:10:15.420 There's plenty of places to go to learn and read the Bible, 168 00:10:15.990 --> 00:10:19.740 but you want to learn from what the scriptures have to say about health. 169 00:10:20.340 --> 00:10:24.840 Then the best person I know around this area is to come to original healing. 170 00:10:25.230 --> 00:10:28.920 And we sit down and talk. People go through the scriptures, 171 00:10:29.640 --> 00:10:32.040 go through anatomy and physiology, 172 00:10:32.370 --> 00:10:37.140 and share with people how the Bible and your health 173 00:10:37.590 --> 00:10:42.390 are intertwined. Your salvation is intertwined. It's one and the same. Yeah. 174 00:10:42.900 --> 00:10:45.780 <v 1>That's new perspectives for myself, Dr. Rick,</v> 175 00:10:45.780 --> 00:10:49.260 and I'm sure that's perspectives that are new for someone listening too. 176 00:10:49.260 --> 00:10:53.250 So first of all, thank you for your study, for your love of God, 177 00:10:53.250 --> 00:10:56.670 but also for your love of health and understanding how the two connect. 178 00:10:56.850 --> 00:10:59.040 And I think so many times as Christians, 179 00:10:59.910 --> 00:11:04.020 we know that they connect because obviously God created our bodies, 180 00:11:04.350 --> 00:11:06.990 but sometimes we forget the fact that it's important. 181 00:11:07.620 --> 00:11:10.230 And so thank you for sharing that today and for what you. 182 00:11:10.230 --> 00:11:13.950 <v 2>Do. Thank you. Can I get one closing re remarks? Sure. Yes. A lot of times,</v> 183 00:11:14.490 --> 00:11:17.430 think about it from this perspective, we're to serve God, 184 00:11:17.550 --> 00:11:22.140 we're to serve one another, and if Satan can get us sick and keep us sick, 185 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:25.200 he takes us out of the game. We're on the sidelines. 186 00:11:25.620 --> 00:11:30.120 So God cannot use an individual to the full glory He 187 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.490 could if that person was healthy. 188 00:11:32.970 --> 00:11:37.020 And then a lot of times we're pursuing worldly secular goals. 189 00:11:38.010 --> 00:11:41.460 You have to be at work a certain time. So we skip the breakfast, 190 00:11:41.460 --> 00:11:43.470 we studying all night for exams. 191 00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:48.570 So we really have to think about and prioritize what's 192 00:11:48.570 --> 00:11:49.680 important in this life. 193 00:11:50.310 --> 00:11:55.030 And so those are the two areas I'd really have people pray about and ask, God, 194 00:11:55.900 --> 00:12:00.430 am I really following your will for my life if it takes me away from your 195 00:12:00.430 --> 00:12:02.620 word and from your health. 196 00:12:02.950 --> 00:12:06.160 <v 1>That's great.
