Zinc Stored in the Brain Back in 1870, Ellen White wrote of a substance in the brain
that was needed to nourish the system. A century later, scientists confirmed that
zinc, which the brain contains a lot of, is indeed an important nutrient for humans.
They have also confirmed that zinc plays a part in many digestive and metabolic processes.

| "Before honor is humility. To fill a high place before men, Heaven
chooses the worker who, like John the Baptist, takes a lowly place before
God. The most childlike disciple is the most efficient in labor for God.
The heavenly intelligences can co-operate with him who is seeking, not
to exalt self, but to save souls. He who feels most deeply his need of
divine aid will plead for it; and the Holy Spirit will give unto him
glimpses of Jesus that will strengthen and uplift the soul. From communion
with Christ he will go forth to work for those who are perishing
in their sins. He is anointed for his mission; and he succeeds where
many of the learned and intellectually wise would fail." | | (Desire of Ages 436) |

track; but the car we were in was on the track, and was separated
about one hundred feet from those before it. . . .
We could but feel that God had sent an angel to preserve our lives. [more] |
