First of all: the book is only available in English so far.
Actually, I didn’t want to write a review of the first part because there are obviously different things happening in churches in the USA than in the churches in the more than 3 dozen Christian countries that I visited or lived in: according to Kathy, they have set up junk food and soft drink vending machines in their churches. And the author describes how she runs into walls of convenience in her churches, with which priests and believers stick to this decidedly unhealthy diet, although the Bible they proclaim or which they believe/claim to follow says completely different things, and people are obviously getting sick and sicker due to their poor diet, which, thanks to incredible ingredients in the USA, must be even worse than in most other countries. And according to the author, this poor diet is based on this poor diet, numerous consequences and networks of uninformed doctors, false diagnoses, poor or no suitable treatment at all, and a huge machinery of pharmaceuticals and health insurance, which contribute nothing to healing the sick, but which open the door to corruption and money-making at the expense of health for the population. Kathy Bates describes her own ordeal through practices without finding help there…, and how she has finally found her own personal healing path herself in direct contact with God and finds it again and again, so that she hasn’t approached a conventional doctor for help for over 30 years (except surgeons). For readers, she has written down her path and compiled numerous passages from the Bible that provide information on how to eat, treat your body, choose a path that brings or maintains health, and should avoid harmful pleasures. The exciting thing is that when you get involved in the text and Kathy’s path, it also opens channels or gates in the reader so that you can get in closer contact with God yourself. And perhaps more people will then understand that the “bad pleasures” – as strange as that may sound to the ears of Central Europeans – are actually closing the channels for a connection, be it through all kinds of luxury goods, medicines, technology. This path, of each individual’s self-discovery, is a side effect of reading the book. But probably certainly in Kathy Bates’s mind, because she would like Christians to focus more on the teachings from the Bible again, on which their faith is supposedly based, but which do not seem to be used in the US Church and not mentioned in Sunday School. The author’s hope is that the entire economy around pharmaceuticals and the useless part of conventional medicine, where it doesn’t help but makes it worse, as she experiences it and other people have also learned in her book, can be replaced by Christians remembering that their body is the temple of God, they care for it and feed it healthily and so that most illnesses disappear by themselves or at least improve if you refrain from eating junk food and decide on a diet that is appropriate for the body. This one decision could turn the entire development on earth in a healthy, better direction. It makes sense to me, because a healthy brain also thinks more sensibly, can follow reason and give space to wisdom where food additives have a devastating effect…
