Introduction

Welcome to Plant Medicine Foundations. This workbook will teach you about Yahuah's provision for healing through the plants He created.

"And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine."
[Ezekiel 47:12]
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This workbook is for educational purposes only. It does not replace professional medical advice. Consult qualified practitioners for serious health concerns. Always learn to use herbs safely.

Before You Begin

Lesson 1: Yahuah Is Our Healer

Yahuah's very name includes the reality that He is our Healer.

Scripture Study

Exodus 15:26

"For I am Yahuah that thee."

What this means: Healing is part of His nature and character!

Psalm 103:2-3

"Bless Yahuah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth thy diseases."

Psalm 107:20

"He sent his , and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."

Jeremiah 17:14

"Heal me, O Yahuah, and I shall be ; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise."

Isaiah 53:5

"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his we are healed."

Personal Reflection

Do you trust Yahuah as your Healer, or do you turn to drugs first?

Has Yahuah ever healed you or someone you know?

Lesson 2: Plants Given for Food and Medicine

From the very beginning, Yahuah gave us plants for food. And Scripture shows that leaves are specifically for MEDICINE.

Scripture Study

Genesis 1:29

"And Elohim said, Behold, I have given you every bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."

Ezekiel 47:12

"...and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the thereof shall be for medicine."

The LEAVES are for !

Revelation 22:2

"In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life... and the of the tree were for the healing of the nations."

Critical Thinking

If Yahuah designed leaves for medicine from the beginning (and they'll still be for healing in the new creation), why do we rely almost entirely on synthetic pharmaceutical drugs today?

Did Yahuah make a mistake that needed pharmaceutical companies to "fix"?

Lesson 3: Biblical Health Principles

Yahuah gave us dietary instructions in Torah that promote health.

Clean and Unclean Animals

Leviticus 11:3, 9

Clean LAND animals must have:

Clean SEA creatures must have:

Leviticus 11:7-8

"And the , though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat."

Why These Rules Matter

Unclean animals are scavengers that eat waste and disease:

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

"What? know ye not that your is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you... therefore glorify Elohim in your body..."

If your body is a of the Holy Spirit, what should you put in it?

Lesson 4: Exposing Pharmakeia

The Greek word "pharmakeia" is where we get the word "pharmacy." Scripture warns against it.

Scripture Study

Revelation 18:23

"...for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy were all nations deceived."

Greek Word Study: "Sorceries" = φαρμακεία (pharmakeia) — Strong's G5331
Root: pharmakon = drug, medicine, poison
Used for: Drug use, magic, sorcery, witchcraft
This is the root of the word PHARMACY

Other Appearances:

Key Point: NATIONS were deceived by pharmakeia!

Critical Thinking

Is it a coincidence that the word "pharmacy" comes from a Greek word meaning sorcery?

How have pharmaceutical companies deceived the nations?

Lesson 5: The Rockefeller Takeover of Medicine

Natural medicine was systematically replaced by pharmaceutical medicine. This was not an accident—it was a planned takeover.

The Flexner Report (1910)

Funded by the Foundation and Carnegie Foundation.

Result: Schools NOT teaching drug-based medicine lost funding and .

The Rockefeller Connection

Timeline

1910-1935: of U.S. medical schools closed.

Key Points

Medicine was intentionally changed to be -based.

"Alternative medicine" was the medicine!

Critical Thinking

Why would oil companies want to control medicine?
