Surviving Pandemics: The Little Things Make Big Differences: Plant-based Medicines Part 2

Plant-based and alternative medicine may have humble standing in folk remedies, but their efficacy in home use or as a foundation for mainstream medicine is robust.


Plant-based medicine remains the basis for preventative healthcare in 80% of the global population for a number of reasons. Herbal remedies are inexpensive and easily accessible, often freely available in nature. Secondly, mainstream healthcare is expensive and costs are rising. Third, many pharmaceutical products have proven dangerous side effects, including addiction and the risk of death. i By some estimates, prescription drug use is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.ii Even “properly” prescribed drugs result in 1.9 million hospitalizations in the United States annually, while providing questionable efficacy.iii Fourth, facilities for specialized treatment often are inaccessible by rural populations.iv Lastly, established local and indigenous knowledge is strongly correlated with effective plant-based medicine and has been handed down throughout generations. This knowledge has been increasingly accessed and beneficial to the scientific and medical community.v


Today, mainstream medicine owes many advances to folkloric remedies and traditional herbal sources. Some examples include: Viral hepatitis and AIDS both have received treatment/cure from the bark of the Mamala tree.vi Digitalis comes from the Foxglove plant and is used to treat heart failure and atrial arrhythmias.vii The anticancer properties of the Yew tree were discovered in the early 1960’s by botanist Arthur Barclay. It was later entered the drug development phase, known as Taxol, or Paclitaxel, and was eventually purchased by Bristol Myers Squibb for wide-scale production as a chemotherapy drug.viii White Willow Bark was used in the development of aspirin but eventually abandoned in favor of other pain relievers.ix The Opium Poppy, Papaver somniferum, has compounds used to make morphine, which amongst many other uses, relieves severe pain from heart attacks.x The California Poppy, Eschsolzia californica, has been used to successfully eliminate morphine dependence.xi


Allopathic medicine maintains a public mystique with pharmaceutical medications by virtue of the close relationship between drug companies, doctors and government bodies, and the enormous advertising machine which urges public use of these drugs. However, as botanists and government websites such as the National Library of Medicine’s, www.nlm.nih.gov , PubMed.org, ClinicalTrials.gov, shine the light on plant-based medicines and biomedical research and their contribution to the pharmaceutical industry, public confidence in these simple, effective and inexpensive solutions continues to grow.


The presence of effective, safe and often widely-available plant-based remedies in nature is evidence of the foresight and wisdom of the beneficent, but all-but-forgotten Creator, who made free and abundant provision for the needs of fallen humanity.

As ecumenical dialogue sweeps the planet and the Protestant denominations return to their mother, as Revelation 17 prophesied, we wish to remind the remaining Protestants on the fence of the history of the Reformation: please remember your history, and who you are thinking of going back to. At the heart of the Reformation, is the issue of sola scriptura. The Bible is the Word of God. It is the sole rule of faith. The Papacy has always put itself above the Word of God. Like the serpent of old, it says, “hath God said?”, and insinuates itself between man and God. The Pope “opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” – 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Nothing has changed in the Papacy. The change is in Protestantism. Please consider where you are going before it is forever too late.

The following remarkable interview occurred this week between Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller and CNN’s Jake Tapper. The discussion involved the capture of Nicholas Maduro of Venezuela, the fate of its enormous resources, and growing imperialistic intentions targeting the island of Greenland.

FAKE MONEY, FAKE SABBATH Everyone knows it is a crime to print fake money, or to use it, also known as “passing it off”, as legal tender. If you want to go to jail fast, print fake money and give it to your buddies for their trips to 7/11. Why does the government get so bent out of shape if you make your own money? Because that’s their exclusive domain. The Constitution (Article 1, section 8) says that only Congress has the power to print money. And boy are they doing a lot of it! 38 Trillion of it in fact, and counting, and they don’t want any competition from civilians. Yes, if there’s anything left in the Constitution that the federal government actually takes seriously it’s the right to print money! The Bible says that we are to render to Caesar what is Caesar’s – Matthew 22:21. There is no doubt that regulating money is primarily the domain of government. Similar to ancient Rome, it has the faces of it's leaders on it. American money also bears the Great Seal of the United States, featuring the coat of arms on one side, and the so-called Eye of Providence on the other, a symbol which bears uncanny resemblance to the Eye of Horus in the rites of ancient Egypt, as well as the All-Seeing Eye in occult practices. God, the Creator and eternal sovereign of the universe, also has an exclusive domain, and he’s even more jealous about His authority than Caesar. Caesar has been delegated temporary oversight (by God) of civil government while this earth remains. But God has always retained sovereignty over religious matters. His domain is itemized in the first four commandments of the Decalogue, separated and enumerated on a separate table of stone to show unmistakably that this is the Creator’s exclusive domain. As part of humanity’s obligations to the Creator, God declares that the seventh day of the week is His Sabbath, and He blessed it as such. The Sabbath predates the fall of humanity – Genesis 2:1-3. It is the sign of His creative power – Exodus 20:11. It is the sign of His sanctifying power – Exodus 31:13; Hebrews 4:9, 10. The seventh day is “the Sabbath of the Lord thy God” – Exodus 20:10; Mark 2:28. God has exclusive jurisdiction over the Sabbath. It bears the great seal of the Creator – His name – the LORD; His title – Creator; His jurisdiction – heaven and earth – Exodus 20:11. God is far more jealous over His Sabbath than Congress is over money printing. The government will throw you in jail if you help it print money. But the Bible says that those who attempt to change the words of the Most High will be destroyed – Revelation 22:19. The Founding Fathers of America believed in the separation of church and state. But there has arisen new kings today “who know not Joseph”, nor the blessings that Providence bestowed on this great land in the past. The forces which are running America into the ground through debt will also establish a counterfeit Sabbath. Sunday sacredness will be exalted, and passed off to the public as the genuine article in much the same way any common counterfeiter makes fake Benjamins. If Congress jealously guards the right to print money, does it not think the God of the universe will jealously guard His Sabbath from counterfeiters? But that is what Sunday sacredness is – it is a counterfeit. It is the mark of the Papacy, and the sign of its authority. It is the Roman Catholic Papacy which boasts to have changed the law of God – it admits it is a counterfeiter. The Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine by Reverend Peter Giermann states the following: “ Question: Which is the Sabbath day? Answer : Saturday is the Sabbath day. Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Answer: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church in the Council of Laodicea transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.” The Reverend Steven Keenan’s Doctrinal Catechism says similar: “ Question: Have you any other way of proving that the Church has power to institute festivals of precept? Answer: Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her; she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day; a change for which there is no Scriptural authority.” There are many indicators which demonstrate that powerful forces are pushing American society toward a union of church and state and the imposition of Sunday rest laws on the populace. Jesuit-educated Erika Kirk, the new president of Turning Point USA, has given an interview where she laments the loss of Sunday blue laws, and has stated that society must be “retrained”. i On November 13, 2025, the Michigan House of Representatives passed House Resolution 222 which officially declares November 23, 2025, as “Christ the King Sunday”. Christian Nationalists today want the same thing Pius XI wanted when he wrote his encyclical Quas Primas in 1925 (which is referenced in the Michigan resolution), and created the original Catholic Feast of Christ the King Sunday. They want a union of church and state. The Michigan resolution was sponsored by Republican state Representative and Catholic, Josh Schriver, who also sponsored a resolution in September 2025 to honor Pope Leo XIV upon his election as pope. ii The White House has issued another press release honoring another Catholic holiday. First it honored Lent, and encouraged Christians to observe Lent, which is a festival entirely devoid of biblical basis. Now it has honored the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. iii The executive branch of government has declared that, “For nearly 250 years, Mary has played a distinct role in our great American story”, and “As we approach 250 years of glorious American Independence, we acknowledge and give thanks, with total gratitude, for Mary’s role in advancing peace, hope, and love in America and beyond our shores.” The attribution of God’s blessing and protection over America to Mary is idolatry, and blasphemy. Papist Jonathan Berry, architect of Project 2025’s Sunday provisions, has been ratified as Solicitor of Labor. The Department of Labor has wasted no time in moving toward a unification of church and state. It is hosting regular prayer services where federal employees are encouraged to pray and sing hymns. iv Berry has stated his intention to restore Sunday sacredness in America and use his civil authority as Solicitor of Labor to punish transgressors of Sunday rest laws. v Sunday laws are coming. A global conversation has begun and it will grow until it becomes the dominant issue on this planet. Everyone on earth will pick a side. On one side is the Creator of the universe, and His pledge to “write His laws in our hearts and in our minds – Jeremiah 31:31-33. To make all things new. He says, “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” On the other side is the ecumenical movement, the Papacy, the civil and apostate powers of government, and their false Sabbath, the eminent pagan day of the Sun. You will decide where you stand. ________________________________ i https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2HjvrMaHnlw ii https://www.wingsofliberty.net/michigan-house-of-representatives-pass-resolution-to-establish-papal-holiday iii https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/12/presidential-message-on-the-feast-of-the-immaculate-conception/ iv https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/12/politics/department-of-labor-hosts-first-prayer-service-emulating-regular-pentagon-events v https://www.wingsofliberty.net/copy-of-the-curse-of-church-and-state-part-3-liberty-threatened
