The History of Medicine and Biblical Nutrition

6th - 8th Grade - 17 Weeks

This class is a piece of "A Survey of Man" course described here. We will explore the creation model of man for 3 weeks and medical history for 5 weeks. Then after 1 week exploring how our body fights foreign invaders, we will spend 8 weeks on what the Bible says about how we should fuel our body and what the health benefits are when we follow God's instructions. Mrs. Frates likes to call this study, "Make your Home a Cancer Free Zone" in hopes that this information may help some families prevent this dreaded disease. This course does not include the anatomy portion or the dissection labs.


(Depending on the reading level of your student, approximately 1 hour of homework per day)
