Our Retreat: The Path to Wellness

Retreat

Our Savior left us an example for our work; "And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people." Matthew 9:35 Our savior was pained to his heart to see his children suffering with all manner of diseases. We too are pained to our hearts to see humanity suffer, especially knowing that there is a better way for ministering to the sick and suffering..

Through the simple agencies of nature, people can recover from their illness. We are living witnesses of God's healing power to restore the sick to wellness. At Better Living Retreat, our goal is to help you achieve the highest state of wellness possible.

In each Retreat session we teach you how to prepare healthy foods (cooking classes), how to live in harmony with natural laws and apply the natural agencies that the Creator has provided for our well-being.

Who can Benefit from our Retreat

Posted on March 14, 2011

Our Retreat Program assists the body in its effort to expel impurities (detoxification) and re-establish balance (cell building) within the system. Nature is then able to build reserve energy and restore the body to wellness. We provide the raw materials (life giving nutrients), that nature uses to build healthy cells and strengthen the immune system. Disease, which is nature's effort to remove foreign and offensive materials and establish balance, cannot long survive within the healthy balanced body.

How the Retreat Works

Posted on March 14, 2011

    Detoxification:

Cleansing of the body fluids (Blood, Lymph) is accomplished here so that cellular functions necessary for health can be accomplished more efficiently. Parasitic infestation is common in almost everyone who is sick. Therefore this program is designed to rid the body of parasites (all sages of development). The organs responsible for removing impurities are reinforced, cleansed and assisted in their work.

  • Colon
  • Liver & Gall Bladder
  • Skin
  • Lungs
  • Kidneys
  • Spleen
  • Lymphatic system


    Cell Building:

Through the use of the Body Chemistry Analysis, we find the balance between the Reserve Energy, feed efficiency and your useable energy, and then tailor the program so that the body will build cells at the fastest rate.

We use delicious foods that digest easily such as:

  • Juices, fruit and vegetable
  • Steamed vegetables
  • Soups and broths
  • Supplements

    Rest:
Physical and mental rest, is very important. During periods of rest, nature conserves on energy while it built Reserve Energy, i.e. correct damage internal organs have suffered.

  • Some days only bed rest and fluids allowed
  • Nothing that stresses the mind allowed (leave at home)
  • Therapies that remove Stress, worry, hatred, bitterness

    Exercise:
Done at the appropriate time with varying degree of intensity, proves to be of great value in equalizing the circulation, strengthening the organs thus assist in waste removal and cell building.

  • Walking
  • Lymphatic exercises
  • Stretching exercises
  • Breathing exercises

    Therapies Include:
  • Colon hydrotherapy
  • Hydrotherapy
  • Fasting
  • Oxygen Therapy
  • Chiropractic Aadjustments
  • Steam Therapy
  • Herbal and Nutritional Therapy (juicing, supplements, live foods, etc.)

In the first three chapters of Genesis, God provided everything that was necessary for man's health; through continual obedience he would live forever. These are the natural agencies that God provided for man to keep him well or to assist in the recovery from disease.

  • Nutrition and Proper Exercise
  • Pure Water and Soft Sunshine
  • Temperance (self-control)
  • Fresh Air and Rest
  • Most importantly, Trust in God

We skillfully use and apply of the natural agencies (above) that the Creator provided, so that the sick may be brought into closer contact with the power of God. When this occur, healing occur at the fastest rate possible. Therefore we conclude that God is the healer (Psalms 103:3, Exodus 15:26), weather it occur through a miracle or through use of the natural agencies described above.
