Hebrews 4 piercing even to the
Bones and Herbs Hebrews 4 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. For the past few weeks we’ve been looking at Bone Marrow. I just heard this week about a girl diagnosed with cancer, and her sister, who has an exact compatible blood, is giving her BONE MARROW transplants. WHY? Because we now know that bone marrow can produce white and red blood cells as well is an excellent source of stem cells (Which are cells that can be created what is needed) Bone Marrow produces - Everybody laughs in the same language.

Bones and Herbs Proverbs 17 22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. A Merry Heart doeth good like a medicine, and it is a broken spirit that drieth the bones. Let’s wrap up this short series by taking a look at this matter of a Merry Heart and Broken Spirits. Proverbs 17 22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. … PLEASE REMEMBER: This passage was written THOUSANDS of years before science could possibly have verified this. - Laughter is an instant vacation

Bones and Herbs Leviticus 17 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the alter to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Luke 6 45 A good man out of the good TREASURE of his HEART bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil TREASURE of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the HEART his mouth speaketh. There are two new fields of study have have appeared recently. PSYCHO-NEURO-IMMUN-OLOGY NEURO-IMMUNO-MODULATION Many studies are surfacing indicating that the premise that stress, depression, sorrow, grief, anger, and negative thoughts MAY have direct NEGATIVE effects on the body’s ability to produce WHITE and RED bloodcells may actually be true-er than previously thought. RED BLOOD CELLS – The Delivery Trucks that Carry oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. WHITE BLOOD CELLS – the military defenders against sickness and disease. - 2 Million red blood cells are being replaced EVERY SECOND… generated in your bone morrow.

Bones and Herbs Proverbs 3 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. According to Dr. Loma Linda University School of Medicine “Laughter lowers SERUM CORTISOL levels. Cortisol is part of the body’s ‘FIGHT-or-FLIGHT’ response. Too much of it can dampen the immune response and shut down the very process that ATTACKS life-threatening microbes or keeps malignant cells from forming into tumors. Laughter INCREASES the amount of activated T LYMPHOCYTES - the number and activity of killer cells. T CELLS carry helper/suppressor receptors Our IMMUNE SYSTEM is actively, positively effected by laughter. - Laughter is the closest distance between two people.

Bones and Herbs Proverbs 3 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. Our 1st line of defense against disease trying to enter in through our respiratory system is an antibody known as ‘SALIVARY IMMUNOGLOBULIN A.’ It has been observed that it is lower when one is in a ‘NEGATIVE MOOD’ and higher when one is in a ‘POSITIVE MOOD’. Dr. Beck observed a visible boost in the production of antibodies (Natural Killer Cells) that fight respiratory infections, like PNEUMONIA and BRONCHITIS. A FEW SECONDS OF LAUGHTER CAN BE AS GOOD AS A MINUTE OF AEROBIC EXERCISE. - The person who can bring the spirit of laughter into a room is indeed a blessing.

The great thing about laughter is this… it’s highly contagious!!! And you don’t need a prescription for laughter. Consider this poor comedy host. He can’t do his routine to make his audience laugh because one of his contestants has unwittingly hijacked his performance. - The person who can bring the spirit of laughter into a room is indeed a blessing.

Bones and Herbs Philippians 4 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Ladies Home Journal agrees - “The latest scientific research shows that all our thoughts create chemicals in our body, called neuro-pep-tides. Happy thoughts produce chemicals that actually strengthen the body, and negative thoughts produce chemicals that weaken the body.” – Over simplification? Maybe, but USA Weekend was quick to pick up on the research as well: “More doctors insist: Laughter is a miracle drug. Now some are even prescribing it.” - Hearty laughter is a good way to job internally without having to go outdoors.

Sadly, according to the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, by the year 2020, DEPRESSION is predicted to be the second leading cause of death and lost productivity … right behind cardiovascular disease. 2020 is only TWO YEARS away! - Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.

Proverbs 15 ‘… A BROKEN SPIRIT DRIETH THE BONES.”
Bones and Herbs Proverbs 15 15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. ‘… A BROKEN SPIRIT DRIETH THE BONES.” You’ve probably heard that Psychology Today published an article on Dr. Ulrich Schweiger’s research on the matter. Schweiger measured the bone density of his patients. Hospitalized men and women over the age of 40 took part in his study. 18 of which were depressed, the other 21 were classified as free of depression. (2) years were to pass before remeasuring, only to discover that those depressed had lost “significantly more bone mass” than the depression-free patients. Dr. Schweiger believes, “[It is] a vital link in explaining the increased mortality observed particularly in men with major depression.” - To jealousy, nothing is more frightful than laughter.

Bones and Herbs Proverbs 15 15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. If it is really true that 75% of our daily thoughts are negative, small wonder there is such a correspondence of negative physical reactions. A BROKEN SPIRIT DRIETH THE BONES! Energy Times reported that scientists investigating why people under chronic stress, such as those caring for someone with a degenerative disease, are especially prone to ill health… … the concluded that it must be related to the fact that their bodies cannot produce enough white blood cells to fight off invaders. Paul Mills, Ph.D. of the University of California believes caregivers are vulnerable because they care for more than 12-hours a day and get a break less than once a month. This causes only 40% as many antibodies to be produced compared to a non-so-burdened group. >> Now, husbands, you KNOW SCIENTIFICALLY why your wife needs at least ONE date a month. - You cannot deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants.

Bones and Herbs Genesis 21 2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. 6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that shall hear will laugh with me. The link between STRESS and ILLNESS is a familiar, but subtle one, as SCIENTISTS from each corner of the field must be very open minded to be able to connect PSYCHOLOGY and BIOLOGY. Example, Mayo Clinic followed up on the results of a personality test conducted 30 years ago. 839 Subjects were tested. Pessimists had a 19% increased risk of death compared to their merry-hearted opposites. HOWEVER, we do not suffer alone. Ronald Glaser teaches microbiology and immunology at Ohio State. After conducting a similar study involving COUPLES, he believes: “The more negative behaviours the couples exhibited around eachother, the more their immune systems weakened.” - Laughter is the brush that sweeps away the cobwebs of your heart.

Bones and Herbs It’s downright uncanny how LITERAL the Bible can be sometimes! Proverbs 3 7-8 “Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and morrow to thy bones.” - If love is the treasure, laughter is the key.
