In 1848, Ellen White had the first of four main visions relating to health. James White writes about it years later in the Review and Herald, noting that tobacco, tea, and coffee had negative effects on health.
The second main vision on health occurred in 1854. It focused on a number of topics including hygiene, adultery, appetite, profanity, parental neglect of children, and marriage. She warned against Adventists making “a god of their bellies,” and wasting precious resources on what destroys body, mind and soul.
The third vision is the most comprehensive and famous... She linked disease with breaking the natural laws of health, through the consumption of inappropriate food and drink, overwork, and a lack of temperance...
In her 1863 vision, she saw the importance of observing the code of Leviticus 11 and abstaining from unclean foods, including pork...This is the same vision in which she spelled out principles we find commonplace in Adventist health frameworks today: fresh air, pure water, sunshine, physical exercise, adequate rest and proper nutrition. At the time, these were revolutionary practices only used by the best doctors. In 1865, Ellen White released a series of pamphlets on health quoting prominent doctors advocating similar concepts.
