I think that declaring that cancer can be cured by fruit and vegetable juice is irresponsible on your part. I'd find it funny if I weren't worried someone would take you seriously and forego proper treatment.
If someone gets to stage four cancer, where they send you home to die, Juice, you got nothing to lose, you're gonna die anyway. There are documented cases of lives being saved this way, why wait until you are at that stage. Juice now...
It doesn't have to be an every day thing, just when you feel week and sick, that's when I do it. If even I get a hint of a cold I eat a raw carrot WITH THE SKIN on and it knocks a cold flat out of my system. Sickness and disease have no claim on a healthy fed body... That's being responsible, taking chemotherapy may delay death or even kill cancer for a while, but it will come back twice as hard if you don't eat right. I've seen how fast it can kill people, within months...
Everybody dies. In any case, it sounds like your objection to drugs is because you don't think they're effective, not because you think they're sinful. Is that a fair assessment?
Fair...I take Motrin for occasional headaches that make it so I can sleep, otherwise I am up all night and the headaches come on when I eat Salmon, because some manufacturers inject red die in the fish to make it appear fresh and pink and the red die brings on a gripping headache that lasts all night and does not allow me to sleep. I never know which salmon has the red dye in it because they never list it on the frozen whole fish I buy. Some does some doesn't I take my chances, sometimes I get lucky, which is about half the time. I gotta have fish, it's keeps joints moving freely and free of old age arthritis (Omega 3 oils) not that I am onld but prevention is worth a pound of cure. I am 41 and 150 pounds no tooth decay no cancer... Currently I've been eating frozen 100 percent grape juice concentrate. It's powerful stuff, just a spoonful or two knocks out most sicknesses and gives you plenty of energy throughout the day. I'm weird like that...Whole wheat is a staple of my diet, as are nuts and jams...fruits and begetables and milk and I work in the pizza biz and still eat pizza...I'm not a total health freak just a sensible one..
And the actions of a fluctuating market have nothing to do with whether you make or lose money?
Things are now set up where you can choose to invest in a stock going up or down and make money either way, but you have to decide which way you think it will go and then invest accordingly and put in a "stop loss" at the price you wish to sell if it goes in the wrong direction, in this way you minimize losses and maximize gains..
I don't think you realize how much you're echoing the words of a problem gambler: "I'm in total control. I can stop any time, I just don't want to."
There is risk, but it can be minimized...
I make money if I keep the commandments, if I don't I lose money in the market. It's as simple as that. I've talked with others who have given me the same counsel. Keep the commandments and you will prosper in the stock market, at your work, real estate, or whatever you decide to do. I have a job, just do it on the side to make a few extra bucks, which I really don't need....
There's a difference between investing in a company that has a leadership that is aiming to grow it in real value by using sound judgement (or even ruthless competitiveness... though that's another discussion) over time, and speculating on short-term volatility. One is gambling, the other is not.
Tried long term investments, such as Microsoft, but pulled out after just a few months, just before it dropped years back and made money and bought my first computer with some of the money I made. It doesn't pay to stay in long term....that was my very first investment and it paid off... I have been hooked ever since...
Nothing morally wrong about it, but it is morally wrong to gamble. If I gamble I am disobeying God's commands, but if I invest that's obeying God's commands, look it up in the scriptures, God wants us to invest (lend and not borrow) he (God) commands...
I lend my money to companies whenever I buy a stock. Daytraders do not always get in and out the same day, they may stay in for several days, weeks or months, but never more than a year. I don't make trades every day, maybe once or twice a week...and if I stay in longer than a month I seem to lose every time, so I don't keep my positions longer than a month now, it never seems to pay off.
With real estate it does, but not with the stock market, most of the time...there are a few that do, not going to discount that...
There's no inherent fundamental difference between day trading and wagering on horses or sports. When done properly, both take as much effort and research, and both have similar expectations of risk and reward. You may have stumbled onto a form of gambling that your church finds acceptable, but make no mistake: it's gambling.
But with day trading you are lending money to someone to advance their company, whether that's for a few seconds or a few years, it all adds up and helps companies run their businesses. My money is nearly always in some company and I choose only companies that provide goods and services consistant with my values....
