Matthew 16:18
“And I say also unto thee, That thou
art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it.”
Jesus' word
is teaching us today that we might be as a small stone like Peter (Peter is derived
from the Greek Πετρος (Petros) meaning "stone") but through Christ we
can become a rock. A small stone can easily skip upon the waters and be moved, but
as we grow in Christ we can become an immovable rock. Look into the Bible and
you will see that Jesus turned Peter into a powerful witness. Apostle Peter is
an example of what God can do to a weak vessel in changing them from a stone to an immovable rock. Many Christians in our past testify to the fact that they stood
solid in their faith despite constant persecution. The rocks for Christ demonstrated that they would rather die than deny the Lord of Glory.
The work of
Satan is also in the rock business. In Greek mythology Medusa is described as a
monster that could turn gazers into stone.
If you were unaware of her visage, you might be lured to look upon her. Perhaps
she had a voice of an angel that would rival those in any heavenly choir which would entice you to take a look. Medusa was considered a myth but I say
she is alive and well. She still entices men today to take a look while she
turns them into stone.
Satan
laughs at us for being so ignorant that we are literally turning into
stones as we live in this world. Inorganic minerals that are in our water and
foods are literally turning us into stone. Bursitis is an indication that the
inflammations in the joints are inflamed. Arthritis refers to joint pain or
joint disease. People of all ages can and do have arthritis. Tendinitis is an
inflammation or irritation of a tendon. Then we have calcific tendonitis when calcium is deposited within the tendons of the rotator cuff causing great pain. These are all
symptoms of what I warn are turning people into stone.
When a
person experiences pain in their joints and bones they naturally assume that
they need more calcium in their diet. Instead of getting natural calcium from
plants they go for the cheaper inorganic calcium. The inorganic calcium loads
up their body with calcium that toxifies them even more. A vegan with pain
might decide they need more calcium in their body when it was the impure water
they were drinking that was the source of all their ills.
Pain in
your bones and joints does not necessarily mean that you are calcium deficient;
it might mean that you are having calcium poisoning that is slowly turning your
body into stone.
Osteoporosis is a calcium deficiency disease. Many
professionals will tell you that chronic untreated calcium deficiency can cause
many severe consequences, including rickets, osteopenia, and osteoporosis. With
all the mineral waters, added calcium to our food products, and dairy products that we
consume; we still have a problem with low calcium? Maybe the problem is that we
do not need more inorganic calcium in our diets but we need organic calcium
from eating more vegetables and fruits that are high in calcium and are easily
absorbed.
I believe that an abundance of inorganic calcium in our diets many contribute to us in becoming
rocks (immovable joints with stiff and inflamed tendons).
"Calcification happens when
calcium builds up in body tissue, blood vessels, or organs. This buildup can
harden and disrupt your body's normal processes. Calcium is transported through
the bloodstream. ... The other 1 percent is in the blood, muscles, fluid
outside the cells, and other body tissues."
Here is the
treatment that doctors will suggest that you should get in order to remove
calcium deposits:
"Treatment includes rest, ice,
medicines to reduce pain and swelling, and gentle range-of-motion exercises. In
most cases, the pain of a flare-up will go away after 1 to 2 months.
If you're in a lot of pain, your
doctor may inject steroid medicine into the area.
If your doctor suggests removing the
calcium deposit, you have a few options:
A specialist can numb the area and
use ultrasound imaging to guide needles to the deposit. The deposit is
loosened, and most of it is sucked out with the needle. Your body may absorb
some of the rest of the calcium.
Shock wave therapy can be done. The
doctor uses a device to focus sound waves on the calcium deposit. No anesthesia
or incisions are needed. The sound waves travel through your skin to the
calcium deposit and break it up. Your body may then absorb some of the calcium.
The calcium deposits can be removed
with an arthroscopic surgery called debridement (say
"dih-BREED-munt")."
The
calcification process has one goal and that is turning us into stone. In order
to follow your doctor's treatment you will have to limit your exercise and get
plenty of rest. This period of rest due to increasing pain will force you to
eat more and more food that contains inorganic minerals. Eating is a form of pain relief that does not burn calories. Overeating will increase your health problems with more calcium deposits.
What is calcification?
"Calcification happens when calcium
builds up in body tissue, blood vessels, or organs. This buildup can harden and
disrupt your body’s normal processes. Calcium is transported through the
bloodstream. It is also found in every cell. As a result, calcification can
occur in almost any part of the body.
According to the Institute of
Medicine, about 99 percent of your body’s calcium is in your teeth and bones.
The other 1 percent is in the blood, muscles, fluid outside the cells, and
other body tissues. Some disorders cause calcium to deposit in places where it
does not typically belong. Over time, this can add up and cause problems. You
may need treatment to prevent complications if you have this extra calcium
buildup."
Inorganic calcium is never blamed for the culprit as causing your health problems.
Doctors will have you believe that it is your body's fault for the problems you're having. Perhaps they will tell you that you are different than everyone
else due to genetics.
I did a
search on calcification problems and I found that the hospital closest to me
just happen to treat many bone related problems. It is a booming business:
Arthritis Care/Rheumatology
Arthritis causes pain, stiffness and
swelling in and around the joints. This makes everyday activities, such as
walking or climbing stairs, difficult. Although there is no cure for arthritis,
medical treatment can help control it and limit its effects.
If you suffer from arthritis,
connective tissue disease or another disorder of the soft tissues, joints and
muscles, contact Lake Regional Arthritis and Rheumatism about treatment
options. Rheumatologists can diagnoses and treats patients with the following
conditions:
Arthritis
Joint and back pain
Fibromyalgia
Soft-tissue rheumatism, including
tendinitis, bursitis and carpal tunnel syndrome
Connective-tissue diseases, such as
lupus, scleroderma and polymyositis
Other diseases of the soft tissues,
joints and muscles
It makes
you wonder that with all the minerals put in our food, why do people still have
bone problems? There is so much dissention over inorganic minerals vs organic
that many today are confused. Some say inorganic minerals digest just fine,
while others warn that it is death to our bodies.
Are Inorganic Minerals Good For You?
What is often said about inorganic minerals:
"Cooking in a cast-iron pot is
one way to supplement with iron. It’s not our highest choice.
Copper from copper pipes is a way to
supplement with copper. It’s also not our highest choice.
Amino acid chelates, amino
acid-peptide combinations, orotates, aspartates, gluconates, picolinates,
citrates, ascorbates, etc., are supposed to make minerals more bioavailable.
The truth is our stomach and small
intestines are perfectly capable of chelating and complexing most minerals
without any help from industrial chemists.
Non-food-based minerals are often
more bioavailable."

Calcium scale should be worth a fortune since many believe it is good for you. |
Whether you
take an inorganic source of minerals or an organic source it is usually agreed
by most experts that too much or too little of certain nutrients can be
harmful. It is often complained that vegetables are depleted of most minerals
due to modern growing practices and that mineral waters that contain inorganic minerals lack our daily mineral requirements. If that is the case, why can't we eat
handfuls of dirt? Dirt contains minerals don't they?
As our
mobility decreases through the years, and we become more disabled, is there
hope for those under Medusa's spell? Medusa's gaze is the visage of deadly snakes
and false teaching. Common sense would tell us that if inorganic nails were good
for iron than we should be soaking them in our mineral waters. If copper pipes are
great for drinking water, then why not soak a few new pennies in our pure spring water and
make a healthy drink. As our bodies continue to go astray, we must listen and
learn from God the ways to regain our health.
