Food and Natural Medicine in the Bible


If we read the Bible from cover to cover, you will find that it has answers about science, the right food to eat and not  to eat, governance, relationship, raising up of children, treatment of the elders.
That's why it is so sad to see people who are intelligent, but have no wisdom or of little wisdom.
Knowledge and wisdom are two different things.

Man thought the world is flat. It has been there in the Bible that it is round.


Isaiah 40:22:
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

Natural medicines/food:



Ezekiel 47:12
Along both banks of the river, fruit trees of every kind shall grow; their leaves shall not fade, nor their fruit fail. Every month they shall bear fresh fruit, for they shall be watered by the flow from the sanctuary. Their fruit shall serve for food, and their leaves for medicine."




Tobit 6:8-9
8
He answered: "As regards the fish's heart and liver, if you burn them so that the smoke surrounds a man or a woman who is afflicted by a demon or evil spirit, the affliction will leave him completely, and no demons will ever return to him again.
9
And as for the gall, if you rub it on the eyes of a man who has cataracts, blowing into his eyes right on the cataracts, his sight will be restored."

Milk and Honey



Jeremiah 32:22

And you gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Not to be Eaten: PIG 



Leviticus 11:7-8 

And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.
