Sid: Have I got good news for you I have Pastor Henry Wright on the telephone and this is we’re coming to the home stretch the second week talking about his updated expanded book called “A More Excellent Way.” It’s a manual it really is on the spiritual roots of disease and literally when you can find the root of your disease and you can get rid of it through prayer and through repentance. Then healing comes; it’s that simple. And the longer that Henry has been in this the more truth and the more understanding and the more wisdom that he has picked up. But before we went on the air and I have to just make this statement that if a doctor tells you to take a particular medicine because you have a life threatening type of situation you better take that medicine. But there’s a flipside of the coin and Henry you were talking to me about this and I have on the phone Pastor Henry Wright Pastor of Pleasant Valley Church in Thomaston, Georgia. Henry you were saying there is the flipside and the overuse of drugs; explain.
Henry: Well the flipside is very important and again as important that your audience understands that as you mentioned do not stop taking your drugs because you hear this conversation. It’s time to now go back and find out why are we taking the drug; I think probably that would be the big part of this conversation. Let me give you some statistics and I’ll give you something that Dr. Julian Whitaker has said in his writing and also a program by Oprah Winfrey earlier this year that has the same statistics that I do in Be In Health. Let’s just talk about FDA approved drugs; the statistics that we have are very accurate is that the number 3 killer of people in America of all the top 10 on the list of killers of people in America, the number 3 is death from properly prescribed and administered FDA approved drugs. That does not include the 2 million that are permanently disabled and damaged by FDA approved drugs. What makes this statistic incredible is that death from illegal drugs including marijuana, heroin, cocaine and all the rest of them put together does not even make the top 10 of the statistical observation. That as Dr. Julian Whitaker has said in his writings, I guess the war on drugs needs to be immediately redefined because we are a people that is extremely filled with fear of disease, dear of dying and fear of death. Now in this understanding of this it’s important to understand that with drugs comes the side effects of a drug. And the side of effects of a drug is another disease; now let’s go to the Oprah Winfrey said and this is astounding to me I mean I got the statistics but I’d never had looked at this way but she graphically brought it into focus. As she began to challenge America to wake up “Why are we becoming a drug nation, a drugged nation?” And by the way that includes believers and Christians we’re no different or in better shape than the world when it comes to drugs and disease and all these problems. Oprah said this Sid that “If you had a Jumbo 747 jet liner loaded with an average of 350 people aboard that crashed in America and everybody aboard lost their life in that day it happened the number of people dying actually dying from the side effects of properly prescribed and administered FDA approved drugs is equivalent to one of these Jumbo 747’s crashing every single day of the year in America;” every single day. If that happened in aviation there would be a national outcry but there’s not one person well, maybe a few of us that are even raising an eyebrow to what’s happening in America.
Sid: Now why is this?
Henry: Because well first of all if God isn’t answering our prayer the doctor don’t have any solution for incurable disease and they don’t all that we have going for us is disease management. What they call health care is really a subtle way of bewitching you in your thinking because it’s really not health care at all it is disease management. And everything that’s going in America right now it’s not the cure of disease my friend, it is disease management. And in the journal of American Medicine it says “The best that American’s have coming in the next 100 years in health and science are miracle drugs, more drugs, miracle drugs and genetic engineering. And so I think I guess what I’d like to say today is that behind many of the diseases that we deal with in “Be in Health” that require the use of a drug. High blood pressure for example, or asthma for example, or any of these other diseases that utilize beta-blockers and beta enhancers to kick the imbalance of the sympathetic nervous system back into balance is not solving the problem. If for example in the case of high blood pressure which we talked about last week if hypertension or high blood pressure is a result of a person worrying about the future, that is fear anxiety distress issue and if that’s able to cause a cell membrane a semi-rigid cardiovascular system you can give the person a drug which is a beta-blocker and that will keep them going and that will take care of the high blood pressure. But it hasn’t delivered them or fixed them from the worry or the fear. Another is bound by two problems they’ve got the same worry now they got the drug with all of the side effects. I think that’s why Paul in Galatians Chapter 5 Sid, if you look up in Galatians Chapter 5 in the King James version I think the NIV calls it the same thing sorcery or witchcraft. And look up in the Strong’s concordance the word witchcraft it literally says “The pharmacist, pharmaceutical, pharmaceutical drugs, druggist. And in here Paul emphatically it’s not illegal drugs that’s found over in the same verse under the term drunkenness. So when you go over Galatians Chapter 5 you find drunkenness that would be alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, heroin and all the rest of that illegal drugs. But the word witchcraft for sorcery is pharmaceutical drugs. Now Paul calls it a work of the flesh right in with adultery and all the rest of it. Why? Because even in Paul’s time, even without the lack of scientific investigation that we have today Paul knew that taking a drug would not get you sanctified it would not deal with the root issue. And what Paul was saying you need find out what’s wrong in your life, get your spirituality straightened out let God become part of your life, get your mind renewed, get that sin out your life and then your body will come back into balance and you won’t need these drugs to manage you. And that is as a pastor I am concerned but because it’s time to wakeup America. It’s time to wakeup church; unless we’re just going to go from generation to generation of being bewitched. It’s time to go back to God and get our lives straightened out so that we will not need these drugs that we happen to take today and that’s a more excellent way.
Sid: And that’s where you got your title from, there is a more excellent way than…
Henry: Absolutely.
Sid: Then managing your diseases. But don’t people do that also with things like anger, and addictions they manage it rather than having freedom?
Henry: Well, it’s just like in the Psychiatric Journals there’s a disease Americans have called social phobia and 10 million Americans have social phobia and that is fear of man. You know…
Sid: People that are afraid of standing up in front of a group for example.
Henry: There are people that are afraid of people and you know what the medical community gives the person who has social phobia the drug Paxil which is an anti-anxiety drug. Now does the drug deliver you from the fear of man? See what the Bible says “Fear not what man can do unto you but put your trust in the Lord.” Why would we be afraid of other humans? Boy that is really a good question, and why are we more afraid of people then we are God?
Sid: Hmm.
Henry: You see? We are because we don’t see God with our physical eyes right now so He seems to be a long ways away. But that person down the street that doesn’t like you you can see them every day and you’re afraid of them. Well, see that’s sin that opens up the door for all kinds of problems in our life that produces disease. So I guess what I’m saying in this subject here is that it’s time to rethink what we’re doing in Be in Health Global as we begin to help people understand their spirituality and their thoughts. We want to bring people back to the peace of God. You don’t need an anxiety drug you just might need deliverance from fear. And you know what you don’t need a bunch of pills church, you just need one. The gos-pill, that’s what we need.
Sid: Henry how many diseases have you found the spiritual roots for?
Henry: We are researching over 700 but it becomes easier than you could imagine because in researching the specific roots behind disease we actually finding disease classes. For example gastrointestinal diseases follow a certain pathway of spirituality, cardiovascular diseases fall another networking of spirituality, autoimmune diseases follow another. So we’re following what causes the disease. Actually the word disease is a spin off from the word “dis ease” and the “dis ease” of our life begins in our spirituality. If our spirituality is incorrect then our long term memory or our psyche or our psychology will be wrong. That’s why the word of God comes to separate the soul from the spirit that we can get God’s mind, what God has said about our life. If it says in 2 Timothy 1:7 that “God has not given us a spirit of fear but power, love and of sound mind” then why in the world would we want to be following something that’s not from God. If God is not from God, then where in the world is it from? And why should it be part of our lives.
Sid: You know according to information I’ve read that you’ve made available there is an epidemic of insanity in America.
Henry: Oh gosh, I was shocked when I read the statistics the other day; actually the first part of this year I was reading some research and as you know we do a lot of research here. They did a survey people that do these surveys and investigation. I think it was World Health Organization if I’m not mistaken were researching nations on this planet and their susceptibility to mental disease. Shockingly enough the nation that has the highest percentage of mental disorder and are on psychiatric drugs and counseling…
Sid: It’s the United States we’re out of time…
