That is what this Elder did he preached it and lived it and finally died his testimony. I hope that makes this clearer? Again I do NOT believe or practice this and encourage our folks to go to the doctor.

Bro. Epley gave me permission to start this thread...
and while I know he DOES NOT believe in this doctrine...
I would akin beliefs like this more to pride than faith...
It's not scriptural... Luke was a Physician... and to say that
it's honorable to die ignorantly (not being disrespectful) just doesn't make
sense to me..
How can this be attributed to Faith?
