A Lot To Digest
A few questions from what I have read so far:
What toxins were found in the fish?
Have you found a Kosher company that actually uses totally grassfed beef? I am a proponent of Grassfed Meat. I haven't found the kosher beef to be grassfed of the companies I contacted.
I feel the Mosaic food laws were fine for that race, but I'm not sure it would suffice for all races of people. Read Guts and Grease concerning the diet of the early Native Americans.
A few years back I was intrigued by statements that kosher was healthier and did my own research through the internet and books.
The kicker to all this is the Mosaic laws don't deal with food processing and food additives such as preservatives, msg, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, etc.
Do you know that Girl Scout Cookies are kosher? Kosher food has additives and preservatives just like other foods, they are just made within the rules of the kosher laws. I found lots of kosher items in my fridge, which BTW they aren't there anymore because they aren't healthy for me.
The Jewish culture itself has a lot more rules to eating than what's listed by Moses. So if you followed their methods, then it might be healthier than our cultures' "see food diet" (eat what you see).
quote:
I would suggest there is excellent evidence that the Mosaic law was inspired and way ahead of its time.
So if you follow the Mosaic food laws and eat the correct meats that eat their natural food (cows on grass, fish on whatever fish eat etc.) not commercially raised foods, then I would agree the rules are healthy, but not necessarily ahead of their time.
Just because science has put a stamp of approval on it a thousand or so years later doesn't mean they were ahead of their time. Science has proven various native remedies work.
Since my research, I don't eat anything with preservatives in it. All my beef is totally grassfed. The chickens I get eat all natural food (yes I get to check it out). I don't eat any type of processed sugar. I also have fruits and veggies. Natural cheeses are also on my list. If I can't make food from natural ingredients, I don't eat it.
Yes this sounds like the laws of Moses, but I still put cheese on my hamburger. I don't agree with the reasoning behind the don't eat meat and milk together.
I will wade through some of your other links, but they seem to be along the same lines as my initial research.
Have a great day!

Re: Leprosy in the Bible
quote:
There are many other problems with their so called health laws as well. Why is a woman unclean for 1 week after giving birth to a man child but for 2 weeks after giving birth to a maid child.
Unclean is used to express that the woman is sexually off-limits, just as during the monthly flow. I believe they are also exempt from religious duties. (Good way of saying give her a break)
Now remember that boys are circumcised on the 8th day. If the woman remained unclean for 14 days as for a girl, the mother would not be able to be part of the circumcision ceremony.
So although unclean sounds bad, it was a way to let women rest from certain duties after childbirth.

Re: Leprosy in the Bible
Wouldn't be the first time man tagged a ritual onto something that is perfectly natural.
Fertility can be affected by overall health. Since growing a child and nursing takes a lot out of a woman's body, I would consider giving a woman time to rebuild her body, as something dealing with health.
I explained why the time was shorter after having a boy. I feel two weeks is the better deal.
Out of curiosity, did the Hebrews have as many words to chose from when conveying their thoughts as we do today?

Re: Leprosy in the Bible
quote:
These rituals had nothing to do with health knowledge.
Ancient races had health knowledge. It may not have been as specific as what we have today and they may not have been able to say why it was healthy, but they did have an idea of what was beneficial in their time.
IMPO, the rituals and sacrifices gave the priests control over the knowlege and the people.
I don't agree with Kendemyer's claim that the food laws show evidence of divine knowledge.
