A common topic throughout Ellen White's prolific writings is healthy living. She believed that the use of artificial drugs and drug-taking accounted for a great many deaths that could have been avoided had the doctor and patient faithfully relied upon God and His plan for health and healing.

While times have changed, her warnings still hold much value. Each and every day, people around the globe depend more and more upon the medications often forced upon them by doctors and pharmaceutical companies. Through this compilation of her writings on the use of drugs in the care of the sick, Ellen White urges the reader to try a different way--THE BETTER WAY ... GOD'S WAY.
