The Ditch On The Other Side...

Many reading this already know that pharmaceuticals, prescription drugs, vaccines, and even many over-the-counter drugs is laced with pharmakeia. The Greek word pharmakeia is used in scripture and here is the definition:
"Outline of Biblical Usage 

1. the use or the administering of drugs
2. poisoning
3. sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it
4. metaph. the deceptions and seductions of idolatry

Strong’s Definitions [?](Strong’s Definitions Legend)
†φαρμακεία pharmakeía, far-mak-i'-ah; from G5332; medication ("pharmacy"), i.e. (by extension) magic (literally or figuratively):—sorcery, witchcraft."

I am not saying that every single medicine is witchcraft, but it is clear that SOME certainly are. I believe that at a bare minimum, any medication that includes ingredients derived from aborted babies and involves murder in its making is evil to the core. I don't profess to know where the lines are drawn between what medications are acceptable and which are not, or even all the ones that are manufactured with wicked ingredients such fetal cells- either derived through death or that list death as a side-effect.

Some pharmaceutical interventions are Satanic in their origin, intentionally causing death, and each death is considered a sacrifice to Satan. One example is the IUD, but it is not the only one functioning in service to Satan. Many drugs, even simple OTC ones can cause all sorts of illnesses, deaths, and birth defects. There are currently law suits pending against drug manufacturers for autism and developmental delay and neurological birth defects. 

I could go on, but most people on this blog are aware of possible dangers of pharmaceuticals and some are also aware of the aspect of witchcraft involved. While not all medications are bad, and some can be safely used to save lives without having murdered anyone, it's a narrow road to navigate and I believe should be prayed through thoroughly. 

But this article is not about that. It is about the ditch on the other side...

In search for healthy, natural alternatives to restoring the body and regaining health, many people have looked in to various types of natural medicine. This is where I come in. For the last 32 years I have been involved in natural medicine in some way or another. I started studying herbs, herbal remedies, and essential oils as a teenager. I actually started using essential oils long before MLM companies offered them. I took various courses in natural medicine and I studied advanced medical and therapeutic  massage and could discern that the "energy work" side was evil at worst and imagination at best.

I am going to list some natural healing methods below that may have a past connected to roots you might want to pray about. Remember, the Bible talks about false miracles (the Egyptian magicians for example and the girl in Acts 16 to name a few), so just because something "works" does not always mean that it is all good.

-Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda (both thousands of years old and began in countries where the population was worshipping demon gods. They view the body through an energetic lens, manipulate energy, and often the formulas and diagnostics involve forms of divination. Having had to study both of these methods very early in my training, I admit I was a bit fascinated with them and sought to use them early on. There is nothing in either method that I can separate from the spiritual influence they carry. 
-Acupuncture (stems from ancient Chinese medicine)
-Reflexology, iridology, certain dried blood analysis, and facial diagnosis (each one uses "the maps")
-Healing with crystals (stems from Wiccan practices) 
-yoga Indian/Ayurvedic/Hindu origins in which every pose is an act of worship to a demon god.
***disclaimer: not every form of stretching is yoga. Yoga is often a term used synonymous with stretching. Just because someone calls whatever they are doing "yoga", doesn't make it yoga. You can do stretching and strengthening exercises that are not yoga. And there are so many "poses" in yoga that even just standing up is technically a pose. Almost any stretches you do, has a "yoga pose name". Intention does count for something. Where the line is, I don't claim to know.
-muscle testing (holding a product and having someone test your strength to see if it will benefit you could be a form of divination.)
-Meditation, breath work, and trying to manipulate qi/ki/energy, chakras, auras or frequencies - this includes ALL "energy work" such as Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Cupping, and others  such as manufactured devices and "wands"- this is all witchcraft.
-kombucha (Rooted in ancient Chinese medicine, there are speculations as to the original shaman who invented it but, but in any case it can definitely be traced to Chinese Medicine.)
-diving rods and pendulum healing
- Homeopathy (This is energy work in pill or liquid form. Homeopathy is often used as word synonymous with "natural healing" but that is not an accurate use. It is a branch of natural healing with a very specific method based on energy. The foundation of homeopathy relies on water having a memory. When a substance comes into contact with water, and diluted out, the energy of that substance is "remembered" by the water. The more diluted it is, the more powerful it is supposed to be. That thought is followed all the way down to the water containing zero of the original substance, which is then considered the most powerful form of the remedy. You can tell if a product incorporates homeopathy if there are numbers with X or C in the ingredients or on the label, for example Pulsitilla 12c)
- Back Flower Remedies (this is just hocus pocus invented by a mentally ill man)
-Raindrop Technique (unsafe pile of lies)
-ANY and ALL herbal or essential oil use designed to impact the mood, soul, mind, spirit or emotions such as remedies that promise "forgiveness", "peace", "joy", "enhanced prayer", "love", "relationship", or "money" and that INCLUDES ANY company who seeks to sell anything that offers such (I do not include physical, scientific aspects such as herbs, plants and essential oils or cannabinoids that are antiseptic and as such can help with wound care, or anti-inflammatory to burns or muscle pain, or plants/oils that repel snakes and bugs, etc) 
-Feng Shui (the ancient Chinese practice of designing your home or office to manipulate the energy forces to bring wealth, relationships, and whatever else one desires)

I am sure I have missed some. Another important thing to keep in mind is the many companies that often offer natural products are involved at a core level - be it the founders, corporate culture, etc - with New Age and occult and I think those beliefs can impact the end products. Many essential oil and CBD companies that put mantras, certain photos or imagery, or even names on their products such as "auras", or promise spiritual affects from products, may open unwanted doorways in the life of the end-user. Be discerning and prayerful about what products and companies you allow into your home.
