Introduction

While working as a physician for the past 50 years I first looked at medicines and surgeries, then at exercise and diet for health and then, besides private patients, shared publicly in many nations concerning the latter two.  Then I took special note of what made people content with themselves and their world, at peace with settled joy, contributing members of their families and their society and noted their excellent health, somewhat independent of diet and exercise.  Newer studies confirm one’s life’s relations are more powerful contributors to health than the earlier studied, though still significant physical aspects.   Studies concerning each of these can be found throughout the internet.  As a young physician at age 30, I began to realize standard Christianity, which when viewed carefully deals primarily with relationships, held many incongruous beliefs that left patients with cognitive and emotional dissonance about their lives and relationship with God.  I’ve found that when one interprets the whole Bible on a subject, taking as first prominence, multiple clear comments on a topic and interpreting outliers upon that established foundation, as we do in science, the Bible becomes congruous Genesis 1 through Revelations 22, thus leading folk to emotional coherency and awe of God with unshaded admiration and love.  The result, better emotional, behavioral and physical health.  It also reveals accurate, though ancient, diet, exercise and the intra and interpersonal relational directives that modern science is only now confirming. In this blog are some of these observations.  I hope they can help you find peaceful longevity for your life both here, and when He comes, beyond.  Humans search for power, recognition, pleasure, human love and truth, and in your search for the most noble of these – truth – have you considered?
