Resources
Good study should make it easier—not harder—for you to check the sources for yourself.
Start with Scripture
Numbers 19 is our starting point, but it belongs within the whole biblical story. Leviticus, the Gospels, Hebrews, Daniel, and Revelation all provide important context when read carefully and in their own settings.

Ellen G. White
When we quote Ellen White, we want readers to be able to find the passage, read what comes before and after it, and decide whether our use of it is fair.
Medical and scientific sources
Health claims should be supported by sources appropriate to the question: peer-reviewed research, systematic reviews, professional societies, public-health agencies, and established academic institutions.
How we describe evidence
Not every statement on the site carries the same kind of authority. We may identify material as biblical teaching, Adventist doctrine, Ellen White commentary, historical evidence, scientific evidence, or interpretation. This is not meant to make the reading experience complicated; it is meant to help us be honest about how we know what we are saying.
