Health Tips

Just read an article about Healthcare and the Church. With that in mind, and my tongue in my cheek, I offer these Health Tips from the Bible:

• Don't travel long distances during pregnancy. If you must travel, be sure that there are hospitals with good Labor and Delivery units at your destination. You don't want to have your baby born in a barn, do you?


• Parents should know their children's whereabouts at all times. If parents should lose track of a child 12 years-old or less, they are unfit and should be reported to Family Services.


• Leprosy is contagious. Never touch a leper without gloves, gown, mask, etc.


• Go only to approved health care providers. Beware of people who do things like put mud made from dirt and saliva on a blind man's eyes claiming it can cure.


• Families must intervene when another family member is acting strangely, such as having messianic delusions.


• Pork and shellfish can spoil easily causing food poisoning. Avoid them altogether.
