For Heaven’s Sake…
Her basic training in health actually began in a Seventh-day Adventist academy, where she studied the health message. The health message in SDA schools normally would include studying Ellen G. White’s books on health, like the Ministry of Healing and Counsels on Diet and Foods. There in high school, she adopted a vegetarian lifestyle. Afterward, she got her nurse training in LA and practiced in Michigan for the past 36 years. Over the past ten years, she has advocated a raw foods diet. As a trained raw foods chef, Ruby has been holding raw foods presentations in her home.
She informed listeners that sprouts contain two hundred times more nutrients than the fully developed plant. She personally experienced a dramatically increased energy level very early after adopting the raw food dietary lifestyle. This soaring energy level eventually subsided to a new normal level.
Grateful for God’s leading in her life, Ruby told her story and the transition from the hospital to the home as a health professional. She spoke of the strain and pain of witnessing hospital patients being treated with surgery and drugs that add even more toxins to a toxic bloodstream. In her opinion, treatment for all diseases really need to begin with simple detoxification, a cleansing of the body systems.
It went “against my grain,” she said, “to watch and be a part of poisoning.” For years, her pharmaceutical and natural healing approaches to treating disease overlapped. Generally, patients in the hospital are suffering from two basic problems: “constipation or dehydration,” she said. Eventually, she couldn’t take it any longer.
Affectionately known as Raw Ruby, she says, “Natural has always been my passion.”
Satisfied with her transition, Ruby enjoys sharing the health message and seeing the miracle of healing.
She is convinced, “God’s way is the best way.”
For Health’s Sake…
“God’s way is the best way,” she says.
She became an RN in 1979 and worked in ICUs until 1989, when she decided she must stop giving injections. She had become a medical missionary in the 1980s, and for awhile, overlapped her philosophically opposing health professions. Unable to continue “the contradiction in her spirit,” she began to run a wellness center in her home with two assistants.
The tone in her voice brightens as she recalls memories of giving quality of health to those who came to her center.
For her doctoral thesis, she is writing “How to Start a Homestyle Lifestyle Center.” Through IIOM, she learned of the need and opportunity to help at TOR’s wellness retreat. She arrived in Maryland, and to her surprise she was joined by a fellow IIOM doctoral student and friend, who is also a native of Belize. They are working with health guests and seeing them overcome their dependence on pharmaceuticals.
Ruby tells of witnessing two guests bonding in prayer. She tells of another guest sharing a bottle of lemongrass oil, which had given such relief that she thought it might help the other guest. Pastor Flemons, a doctor of biblical wellness and naturopathy, quickly interjected, noting that such sharing could never safely happen with pharmaceuticals.
Ruby, also a raw foods chef, has treated everyone to raw meals during the retreat. Pastor Flemons confessed having more raw meals during this retreat than ever before in his life. He loves it. They discussed the benefits of juice feasting and perseverance. Ruby continued sharing the victories health guests are experiencing. “It’s just a joy,” she said. Even the laughter is healing.
The one guest who helped another guest feel better felt so good that she did a happy dance. That only reveals another thing: anyone, if willing, can be a medical missionary. The “need is so great,” says Ruby, that “everyone needs to be a missionary.”
