Just how often should one exonerate ones bowels?

Where can I find books of the differences between Ellen White in regards to medical practices and health but not theological views. I don't think Ellen White would favor yogurt enema, but she did favor vegeterian diet and not masturbating.

Hehe I love how on all these Kellogg vids how people either say he's a complete nut or worse. Or how everything he did was great. Look. The man did some amazing things, period. He put exercise and a healthy diet on the map. Granted he went to far with the exclusion of meat though many still agree with him (vegans). AND he did horrible things like useless treatments that did nothing or actually harmed you and his stupid logic against sex. So he was both a nut AND a great man.

He was a fruitcake like all them Adventist lunatics.

Lysimachus is very small and closed minded, forgive him for that.

Keep in mind that not everything Kellogg did was endorsed by Ellen White. In fact, later he ended up accepting Pantheism. However, the truth of the matter is, God did lead the Adventist health institutions, and they brought much healing to the world...regardless of some fanaticism that may have been in the Adventist Church. But Ellen White plain warned against fanaticism. But these fanatical things are no excuse to reject the overall truth.

No, the personal accounts are not wrong. They simply just do not exist.  I've been studying Adventist history for the last 15 years, and I challenge you to give me one such reliable source.

@battlestroke7

And you have absolutely no proof or solid documentation to solidify those outrageous claims against Kellogg. Sorry, but I'm not impressed with your stupidity.
