"IT IS TRUE THAT PERSONS IN FULL FLESH AND IN WHOM THE ANIMAL PASSIONS ARE STRONG NEED TO AVOID THE USE OF STIMULATING FOODS. ESPECIALLY IN FAMILIES OF CHILDREN WHO ARE GIVEN TO SENSUAL HABITS, EGGS SHOULD NOT BE USED."—THE MINISTRY OF HEALING, PAGE 320. "WHILE WARNINGS HAVE BEEN GIVEN REGARDING THE DANGERS OF DISEASE THROUGH BUTTER, AND THE EVIL OF THE FREE USE OF EGGS BY SMALL CHILDREN, YET WE SHOULD NOT CONSIDER IT A VIOLATION OF PRINCIPLE TO USE EGGS FROM HENS THAT ARE WELL CARED FOR AND SUITABLY FED. EGGS CONTAIN PROPERTIES THAT ARE REMEDIAL AGENCIES IN COUNTERACTING CERTAIN POISONS."—TESTIMONIES FOR THE CHURCH, VOL. 9, P. 162. 1284
