How To Obtain And Maintain Wellness
Mar 29th
In last week’s Health Tip, we went back to the beginning chapters of the Book of Genesis when God created everything on this earth in perfection, including his human creations, Adam and Eve.
God then placed Adam and Eve in a Garden, where He not only told them to be “fruitful and multiply”, but also gave them a diet designed to sustain the physical bodies God had given them. As time passed, man wandered from God’s original intent concerning proper nourishment of the physical body and sickness began to manifest.
In order to understand how to obtain and maintain wellness, we must first understand how we were made, how God designed our bodies to function, and what foods God created our bodies to be nourished with so that they could function properly — which are clearly articulated in Genesis 1:29:
“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb (vegetable) bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat (food).”
On this original Genesis 1:29 diet, man lived to an average of 912 years (average age of patriarchs at death) prior to the flood, without a single recorded instance of sickness. Following the flood however, two changes were made to man’s diet – meat was added and man began to cook his food.
As a result of these two changes from Gods original intent, the lifespan of man started to rapidly decline. In ten generations, man’s average age went from 912 years (on the Genesis 1:29 diet) to just 110 years (after the Genesis 9:3 diet change) — see Genesis 50:26.
Since then we have moved ever further from God’s original diet and intent, by placing increasingly more toxic substances into our bodies. Sadly, the average 40-year-old person today has already developed some serious physical problems, while the average 4-year-old is already showing plaque buildup in their arteries.
Our Generation – Sickest In History
Our generation is the sickest generation in history and becoming increasingly sicker by the day. Indications of this sickness are the ever-increasing numbers of people being afflicted with heart attacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and a host of other degenerative diseases, while the cost of health care skyrockets.
But we must remember that heart attacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, etc., are not the problem in themselves, but merely symptoms of the problem. The problem is that we are putting into our bodies substances (poisons) God never designed these bodies to ever have to content with that are creating these problems!
Then we further exacerbate the problem by trying to treat the resulting symptom with additional toxins (drugs), burning radiation, and needless surgeries, rather than dealing with the cause of the physical problem being experienced.
Back To The Basics
Any successful approach to health must deal with the cause of the problem rather than merely the symptom. But that is all the medical community has been doing for the past 100 plus years, dealing with symptoms, but look where that approach has gotten us health wise?
If we want to reverse our physical problems we must get back to the basics – back to God and an understanding of how God made us, how God intended us to be nourished, and how God designed our bodies to function.
Today, when a physical problem manifests, we have been programmed to believe that the problem is the result of some virus, germ, bacteria, or genetic weakness that has caused the physical breakdown. In most instances, nothing could be further from the truth!
Such teachings are designed by those who profit from sickness to prevent us from seeking the true cause of disease – our own transgressions of God’s natural laws!
The truth is that almost every physical problem we experience (other than accidents) is created by violating the natural laws God established at creation for our health and well being.
When we get sick, rather than seeking the cause of our physical breakdown, we have been programmed to treat the symptom of the disease with a poisonous drug, burning radiation, or removal of the offending body part. But these modalities never heal; rather they complicate the problem and in many instances create new problems.
If we desire to obtain and maintain wellness, we must understand that there are no cures. My dear friend reading these words, I don’t know how to say it strongly enough, there are NO CURES!
There Are No Cures
If there are no cures, how is it possible to restore health? There is only one way to properly restore our bodies to wellness. We must adopt a diet and lifestyle change that is in keeping with God’s instructions as found in the Bible.
If we are going to restore the body to wellness, we must realize that drugs are incapable of curing anyone of anything! Chemotherapy does not cure! Radiation does not cure! Surgery does not cure! Vitamins do not cure! Herbs do not cure! The only way to restore the body to wellness is by first eliminating what caused the physical problem.
Then after we have removed the cause of the problem, if we want to obtain wellness, the next step is to provide that body with the building materials (nutrients) the body needs so that it can rebuild its built-in healing mechanism, the immune system. God’s Genesis 1:29 diet is where you find the building materials necessary to accomplish this.
Only then will the self-healing programmed into each one of us by God be able to perform the healing task God gave it power to carry out. Daily, someone by email, phone or in person shares with me the incredible improvements they have experienced in their own bodies after they have applied these self-healing principles. See the “Testimonies and Letters” section for these stories.
Self-Healing Is Built In
Just as a cut on the surface of the skin will heal itself before our very eyes, the rest of our body is also designed to be self-healing. This self-healing will occur when we stop consuming the toxic substances that caused the problem, and we provide our body with the plant nutrients necessary to initiate internal healing, and start exercising.
This ability to self-heal was programmed into our genetic coding by God at creation. Those who have made the change to a natural diet and lifestyle have experienced that God’s original plan of self-healing works better than all the prescription drugs, chemotherapy, and surgery modern medical science has to offer.
The most important factors necessary for self-healing are fresh air, pure water, sufficient rest, internal and external cleanliness, sunshine, a positive mental attitude, vigorous daily exercise, and eating only the foods we were designed by God to be properly nourished with.
The only nourishment God ever intended for us to provide our bodies with are: pure water (necessary to hydrate the body), fresh air (oxygen, “the breath of life”), sunlight (energy and vitamin D), and raw fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts (vitamins, minerals, enzymes, anti-oxidants and so much more).
As long as these basic needs are met, the body is self-sufficient, self-healing, and will function as God designed. But when we deviate from these basic biological needs, the body becomes clogged with toxins, energy is depleted, physical problems manifest, and life is shortened.
Sadly, today when faced with sickness, rather than helping the body to restore itself to wellness by eliminating those things in our diet and lifestyle that created the problem, modern medicine seeks to aggressively attack the symptom with more toxins (drugs) that only exacerbate the already existing problem, often creating new problems.
The way we deal with sickness today is barbaric and produces horrible consequences. Not a day goes by that I do not receive through personal contact, emails, and/or phone calls from people with heart wrenching stories of how allopathic medicine has not only failed to take away their physical problems but actually aggravated them.
For example, here are just two of the many emails I received yesterday. As you read them, please note the physical problems they are dealing with and the frustrations they experienced as they pursue the medical route:
“Rev. Malkmus, I am wondering how to begin The Hallelujah Diet. My 27-year old daughter’s stomach is so sensitive. She was diagnosed with lupus at age 18. At age 20 she developed shingles on her lower back and down her legs. She was hurting so bad she became almost unable to walk. After being diagnosed with neuropathy, she lost her ability to walk.
She has been on so many medications for pain which she is still on. Last month she had to have her left index finger amputated along with tips of her middle and ring finger. This produced ever more pain and of course the doctors prescribed more pain pills. Now her hair is falling out and all she wants to do is sleep.
Rev. Malkmus, I know you are not a doctor but I am hoping you can help me start introducing my daughter to The Hallelujah Diet so that I can help her get her life back. Please help! I am so tired of doctors and their pills.”

“My husband was diagnosed with kidney and bladder cancer in October 2010. His right kidney and the bladder tumor were surgically removed. The doctors told us he would have to have follow-up scans every few months. Then he developed back pain about two weeks ago and thought he had pulled a muscle. He went to the doctor for help with that problem and a CT scan that same afternoon revealed several nodules on both his lungs and one on his spine. The doctors think the kidney cancer has spread to these other places. A lung biopsy is scheduled, and then we are to meet with an oncologist who will offer us treatment options.
Our pastor told us about you, Dr. Malkmus, and your website and ministry. Can you give us some guidance? Can you offer us any hope? Can you help us? My husband is only 61-years-old.”

Concluding Words
Next week, the good Lord willing, we will build on the foundations we have laid in the past two articles and reveal how a person can obtain and maintain wellness through a simple diet and lifestyle change — without the need for doctors and drugs.
Rev. Malkmus’ and Rhonda’s First Vacation!
Mar 28th
On February 12, 1992, Rhonda and I started Hallelujah Acres. On April 11, 1992 we were married. Because we were the sole proprietors and only staff running the Hallelujah Acres store that was open 6 days a week, we were unable to take a honeymoon.
For the past 19-plus years, Hallelujah Acres has been our baby! We have been so totally absorbed promoting God’s health message that we have never taken a vacation that lasted more than a day or two (weekends).
On my 77th birthday this past February 12th, I told Rhonda that we were going to start taking a little time off to smell the roses — and that is exactly what we will be doing the next week or so. But before leaving I made sure to have these Health Tips pre-written so that that there would be no interruption for our subscribers!
I still write these Health Tips in my study between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. most every morning of the week. It is hard to believe that we are nearing the 700th consecutive issue! I trust that you have been blessed as much reading these Health Tips as I have been writing them and sending them to you each week.
God’s Original Intent
Mar 21st
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth . . . and the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
(Genesis 1:1 & 2:7)
When God created this earth and everything upon it, including man, He made absolutely no mistakes! How can I be so certain? – because God is God and incapable of making any mistakes.
“Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.”
(Psalm 147:5)
Yes, everything God made was created in perfection, right from the placing of the earth in the proper orbit around the sun – not too close lest we burn up and not too far lest we freeze to death. Also, the percentage of oxygen was just right to sustain human life, while the percentage of carbon dioxide was just right to sustain plant life.
After God completed His creative handiwork, there was this gorgeous garden containing man’s food supply, in a sustainable climate, in a picturesque and tranquil setting! It was all there in perfection. Here is what God had to say about all He had made:
“And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.”
(Genesis 1:31)
Then God creates that first man (Adam), followed by that first woman (Eve), His crowning creations, and places them in the midst of this gorgeous garden He had created. And God “blessed them” and says to this first couple: “Be fruitful and multiply . . .” (Genesis 1:28)
If it were possible to trace your ancestral beginning back far enough, you would find your forefathers originated in a GARDEN called Eden.
“And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.”
(Genesis 2:8)
Though man has wandered far from this original Garden setting into which He placed His first human creations, it was there in that very first chapter of Genesis God revealed His original intent for the proper nourishment of not only the physical bodies of Adam and Eve, but each one of us living today:
“And GOD said: Behold, I have given you every herb (vegetable) bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat (food).”
(Genesis 1:29) (A good concordance will reveal the word “meat” found here should be translated “food”).
As time passed, man started wandering further and further from the garden foods God originally ordained for human nourishment and began eating foods not found in the garden. What has been the result of wandering so far from God’s original intent and instruction? The human race has suffered greatly.
It is interesting to note that prior to the great flood in Genesis 9:3, while man lived exclusively on a plant-based diet, there is not a single recorded instance of sickness. As he began consuming non-garden foods, sickness started to manifest and today sickness abounds. In fact, there has never been a time in history when mankind suffered from so much disease.
Although man has gained much knowledge and we have many doctors and drugs to deal with this increase in disease, need for doctors continues to rise, more drugs than ever are being prescribed, and the cost of health care continues to increase, while the people progressively get sicker. What’s wrong with this picture, and how can we change direction?
Hallelujah Acres To The Rescue
It is the goal of Hallelujah Acres to bring the people of today, as much as is humanly possible, back to the simplicity and purity of that original garden diet and setting. Yes back to God’s original intent – a simple diet, active lifestyle, freedom from stress and sickness, as enjoyed by that original couple.
No doubt, you may think it too simplistic, unattainable, and “pie in the sky” to have any chance of attaining this today, but bear with me for a few moments.
Here at Hallelujah Acres multitudes from around the world are experiencing incredible health and healing results when they apply the biblical principles being proclaimed by Hallelujah Acres. Even in this stressful, polluted, sick world in which we live, these people are seeing exciting things happening in their bodies and in their lives.
They are seeing almost miraculous healings, resulting in a healthy glow, bright eyes, happiness and enthusiasm for life, as well as a heightened appreciation for God’s original intent. They also find themselves better able to communicate with and serve their Creator God because of this new found health they are experiencing.
What was it that initiated all of these benefits? Friends, it was simply a change in diet and lifestyle based on the information revealed to us by God in the first two chapters of the book of Genesis.
Christians Fail to Appreciate Their Physical Bodies
For the past 2000 years, since Jesus walked this earth and established His church, the Christian community has focused almost exclusively on the soul and spirit of man while giving scant attention to the physical body/temple needs. Actually, the Christian church has almost totally ignored the physical body, the temple (dwelling place) of the Holy Spirit.
“What? Know ye not that YOUR BODY is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in YOUR BODY, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
(I Corinthians 6:19-20)
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”
(I Corinthians 3:16-17)
Church leaders often take scripture out of context by suggesting that the physical body is “wicked.” But it isn’t the physical body that God so marvelously created that Jeremiah is saying is so wicked, rather God is saying here that it is: “The HEART (that) is deceitful and desperately wicked. . . “ (Jeremiah 17:9)
Of this physical body we each possess, the Bible says we are to: “. . . present your BODIES a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. . . And be not conformed to this world . . . ” (Romans 12:1-2)
Listen to what the Psalmist had to say concerning the physical body we each possess: “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and WONDERFULLY MADE: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” (Psalm 139:14)
Wonderfully Made
When we look at the anatomy of man we find that truly, we are “WONDERFULLY MADE.” Right from the moment of conception, exciting things start to happen as the father’s sperm fertilizes the mother’s egg, and the genetic instructions from both parents interact to begin developing a new human life.
From the very moment of conception, these cells begin to divide – the original two cells become four, than eight, then sixteen, then 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, and so on, as a new human body continues to develop. Within five to nine days, the sex can be determined. By day 15 the heart is forming and by day 24 the heart is beating.
In 42 days the skeletal is formed and the brain is coordinating movement of muscles and organs. Within eight weeks, every organ is present, the heart is beating steadily, the liver is making blood cells and the kidneys are functioning. And so development continues until about nine months after conception when the child is born.
How did the mother and father, and the infant growing in mother’s body know how to do all of this? There is only one answer my friend . . . God programmed it all into that original couple Adam and Eve. This instinctive knowledge has been passed down to each of us through the DNA and RNA to every generation since then.
Dead minerals colliding with a “BIG BANG” eons and eons ago could not produce life. Even if it could, it could not produce such intelligent design. I am so glad I can trace my ancestral beginning back to God rather than a monkey swinging by its tail from a tree branch. Evolution sadly tries to explain the origin of human life apart from God.
How Did God Design Man To Be Nourished?
To answer this question we need knowledge. The only source of true knowledge is God and His Word the Bible where we read: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable . . .” (II Timothy 3:16-17)
But in Hosea 4:6 God says we have a problem. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” If God has provided us with a book of knowledge, how is it that we are so ignorant today regarding the physical body and how to properly nourish it? The answer: We have listened to the teaching of man rather than the instructions of God.
And what does God have to say about the world’s wisdom we have been programmed to listen to and follow? “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.” (I Corinthians 3:19)
As we seek knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, the first thing we must understand is that the human body is a living organism, comprised of approximately 100 trillion living cells. Every part of our body is made of these living cells . . . our blood, skin, muscles, eyes, heart, liver, bones, etc., yes our body is comprised 100% of living cells.
Each living cell is a miniature generator that requires fuel and oxygen to generate the electrical energy needed to power the body. The body also has a defense mechanism known as the immune system to protect us from germs, viruses and bacteria. Then there is the nervous system which transmits impulses throughout the body.
The endocrine system coordinates functions of the glands. The respiratory system controls our oxygen intake. The circulatory system involves movement of the blood, and there is so much more. Truly, we are “fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139:14)
If we want to know how to maintain wellness, we must first understand how God made us, how God designed our bodies to function, and what foods God provided us in order to live in health and free of sickness. HEALTH was God’s original intent for his human creation.
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul prospereth.”
(III John 2)
Concluding Words
Next week, if the Lord tarries and the creeks don’t rise too high, we will build on the foundations we have laid in this article. We will share how a person can obtain and maintain wellness without doctors or drugs — simply by applying God’s original intent as set forth in the scriptures, along with the knowledge gained from tens of thousands of people who have applied the teachings of Hallelujah Acres.
