Ellen Gould White über: "Eggs are healing"
Answer
According to the writings of Ellen G. White, eggs contain specific properties that act as remedies and can help neutralize certain toxins in the body. They are regarded as a valuable source of nutrients, especially important when the body is weakened or other protein‑rich alternatives are lacking. It is warned against taking extreme positions and prematurely removing eggs entirely from the diet, as this can lead to physical weakness. Nevertheless, attention should be paid to quality by obtaining eggs from healthy, well‑cared‑for and well‑fed chickens. Used in moderation and under the right circumstances, they are considered less problematic than meat and beneficial for blood formation.
Eggs as a Remedy and Valuable Food
»I very much hope that you will heed the words I have spoken to you. It has been shown to me that you cannot have a successful influence on the health reform if you do not become more liberal in certain matters toward yourself and others. ... And eggs contain properties that are remedies to counteract toxins.«
»Do not go to extremes regarding the health reform. ... You must not deprive yourself of that class of foods that produce good blood. If you see that you are becoming physically weak, it is essential for you to make immediate changes. Incorporate into your diet something you have omitted. ... Obtain eggs from healthy poultry.«
»Milk, eggs, and butter should not be equated with meat. In some cases the use of eggs is advantageous. The time has not yet come to say that the use of milk and eggs should be completely abandoned.«
»While I would reject meat as harmful, something less objectionable can be used, and this is found in eggs. Do not remove milk from the table and do not forbid its use in cooking.«
»When a letter from Cooranbong arrived to me stating that Doctor ----- was dying, I was instructed that night that he needed a dietary change. A raw egg taken two or three times a day would provide the nourishment he urgently required.«
»Some have, by abstaining from milk, eggs, and butter, deprived the body of proper nutrition and have consequently become weak and unable to work. Thus the health reform is discredited. ... God will intervene to prevent the results of these strict ideas.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
