UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES AND WHAT WE OUGHT TO DO.
“As religious aggression subverts the liberties of our nation, those who would stand for freedom of conscience will be placed in unfavorable positions. For their own sakes they should, while they have opportunity, become intelligent in regard to disease, its causes, prevention, and cure. Those who do this will find a field of labor anywhere. There will be suffering ones, plenty of them, who will need help, not only among those of our own faith, but largely among those who know not the truth.” — The Medical Missionary, 216.
So, "the remnant people of God "need an education in the science of how to treat the sick, for this will give them a welcome in any place." — Unpublished Testimonies, December 20, 1896.
As "nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places." Matthew 24:7.
Dear friends, the Issachar Reform Institute™ was founded to meet the very needs cited above, and anyone looking for the soon appearing of Jesus Christ our Lord should be the last to manifest a lack of interest in this great work of reform. Men and women must be instructed, and ministers and people should feel that the burden of the work rests upon them to agitate the subject of Christian temperance and Bible hygiene, and urge it upon others.

CLINICAL NUTRITION
In order to know what are the best foods, we must study God's original plan for man's diet. He who created man and who understands his needs appointed Adam his food. “Behold,” He said, “I have given you every herb yielding seed, ... and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food. Genesis 1:29, A.R.V.” Counsels for the Church 221.4
INTRODUCTION TO HERBALISM
“When the Lord told Hezekiah that He would spare his life for fifteen years, and as a sign that He would fulfill His promise, caused the sun to go back ten degrees, why did He not put His direct, restoring power upon the King? He told him to apply a bunch of figs to his sore, and that natural remedy, blessed by God, healed him. The God of nature directs the human agent to use natural remedies now.”—Letter 182, 1899.
TESTIMONIES ON HEALTH
To keep the body in a healthy condition, in order that all parts of the living machinery may act harmoniously, should be a study of our life. The children of God cannot glorify Him with sickly bodies or dwarfed minds. Those who indulge in any species of intemperance, either in eating or drinking, waste their physical energies and weaken moral power. — Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, 53, 1890 10. CD 18.1
THE BATTLE FOR THE MIND VOL. 1 & 2
"If we take the time to search the things of God, we will see that our inability to perform as a consequence of our unfitness is just nature crying out to us to show respect to the natural laws of life that governs every living organism. God wants us to know that good health has spiritual implications: that is, to be free from physical and mental infirmity, one must show a healthy attitude toward the laws of God. A healthy fear in the mind for moral boundaries and things involving the care of the body will help us to foster a healthy mind, body and spirit. Did you not know that good health is a blessing that comes from God as we obey Him?" The Battle for the Mind Vol. 1 p. 44.
