The Doctor Within Is Under Your Control
Sep 6th
In last week’s Health Tip we discussed the fact that God built into our physical body the ability to heal itself (aka the “doctor within”) — and that the things we place into the physical body can wound or cripple this internal doctor’s ability to keep us well.
It is important to understand that this internal doctor is not spiritual. It is controlled almost exclusively by physical laws, not by spiritual forces.
Sadly, in our Christian community, we want to continually place this physical body we each possess into the spiritual realm.
For instance, before most Christians eat a meal they pray a spiritual prayer to ask God to bless the physical food they are about to eat!
Likewise, when Christians get sick, the pray a spiritual prayer in which they ask God to heal their physical body!
I believe that most will agree that we Christians are continually trying to obtain control over our physical bodies by placing them into the spiritual realm.
Now, I am not saying that God cannot heal as a result of a spiritual prayer. But how many times have we prayed a spiritual prayer for healing and that spiritual prayer failed to result in the healing of the physical body?
And do you really feel that praying a spiritual prayer over the food is going to remove the toxic substances in that physical food?
Our Physical Body Is Controlled by Physical Laws
Our bodies are controlled by physical laws that God established. The law of gravity is an excellent example: Violate that natural law of gravity and you will quickly experience the consequences of that violation.
My dear friend, if we want to experience the ultimate health that God designed for each of our physical bodies, we must realize that the health of our bodies is almost totally dependent on the natural physical laws God has established:
“Be not deceived, God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)
And where do we find this natural physical law that God has established that controls the health of our physical bodies?
In the very first chapter of your Bible 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).”
What Are You Feeding Your Internal Doctor?
Daily, with every swallow of food or drink we are weakening or strengthening our internal doctor. This may be difficult to comprehend, but it is none-the-less true! God has given each one of us almost total control of our personal internal doctor, and its ability to keep us in health or allow sickness and disease to proliferate.
What Goods Harm Or Cripple Our Internal Doctor?
1. Refined Sugar – Every time we consume a food or drink containing refined sugar we are doing serious harm to our internal doctor. Refined sugar is an immune system suppressant. Large amounts of sugar are found in all soft drinks – approximately 11 teaspoons in every 12-ounce can. Energy drinks have even higher amounts.
Refined sugar is also found in candy bars, chewing gum, donuts, cakes, cookies, pies, pastries, most bread, and the list goes on. Refined sugar is also found in most processed foods on the grocery store shelf – ice cream and most breakfast cereals contain large amounts of refined sugar. Even yogurt and ketchup contain sugar.
The average intake of refined sugar by the average American of today is 50 teaspoons per person per day, or 170 pounds per year. Over 75 years, the average American is consuming 12,750 pounds of refined sugar during a lifetime.
Just 11 teaspoons of sugar a day (1 soft drink) immobilizes your internal doctor (immune system) by about 33%. Consuming 30 teaspoons will immobilize it by nearly 100% for 24 hours!
Sugar is one of the greatest ways we cripple our internal doctor and prevent it from protecting us.
2. Refined Grains – Refined grains such as white flour and white rice are carbohydrates that have had their fiber removed during processing.
Refined grains contain carbohydrates that break down into simple sugars extremely rapidly and are received by the body in a similar manner as refined sugar. Because they contain no fiber, refined grains also move very sluggishly through the body’s 30 feet of digestive tract, contributing to constipation and toxic buildup.
Constipation plays a huge role in the crippling of our internal doctor, because if toxins are not quickly eliminated by daily bowel movements, these toxins are absorbed back into the body and contribute to ill health.
Whole grains, on the other hand, because they still contain their fiber, break down much more slowly. Because they enter the blood stream much more slowly, they do not affect the body in the same way as the refined grains.
3. Animal Flesh, Dairy, & Eggs – Every time we consume a piece of animal flesh, an egg, or a dairy product in the form of milk, yogurt, or cheese, we are doing damage to our internal doctor.
Animal foods contain varying amounts of fat. All this fat enters the blood system but not all of this fat exits the blood system.
The fats that do not exit start to build up on the interior walls of the arteries leading to high blood pressure. This necessitates stents and by-passes, and ultimately can cause heart attacks and strokes.
Statistics reveal that by eliminating all animal sourced foods from the diet we reduce our risk for a heart attack or stroke by 96%. There is no question about it – animal fats have a crippling affect on our internal doctor.
Another thing we need to understand about all animal source foods are they contain zero amounts of fiber. This lack of fiber causes these animal source foods to move very sluggishly through 30 feet of digestive tract.
Because the digestive tract is constantly 98.6 degrees, animal sourced foods putrefy, becoming the primary cause of body odor, colitis, ulcerative colitis, diverticulosis, diverticulitis, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), colon cancer, as well as other colon and digestive problems.
Animal source foods are the cause (or contributing cause) of the majority of physical problems, including but not limited to – heart attacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, asthma, allergies, acid stomach, and heart burn.
Animal source foods also contribute to an excess of protein, which is a contributing cause of cancer. Excess protein also feeds cancerous cells!
It doesn’t matter if these animal source foods are coming from organic or commercial sources; they all do serious harm to our internal doctor.
4. Other Substances – There are other things that we need to be aware of: caffeine, nicotine, marijuana, alcohol, all over-the-counter and doctor-prescribed drugs, refined white table salt, hydrogenated oils, trans-fats, MSG, food dyes, and more, all have a negative and weakening affect on our internal doctor.
There is a song we teach our little children which goes like this:
Oh be careful little ears, what you hear
Oh be careful little eyes, what you see
Oh, be careful little mouth, what you say
Oh, be careful little hands, what you do
Oh, be careful little feet where you go
Oh, be careful little mind what you think
Oh, be careful little heart what you love
AND CONCLUDES “For the Father up above is looking down in love”
I would like to add another verse to that song:
Oh, be careful little (and BIG) mouth what you eat
How Modern Medicine Treats Physical Problems
When a person goes to the doctor, that doctor usually does not seek out the cause of the physical problem. Modern medicine dictates that the doctor treats the symptom — usually with a drug. And in cases of cancer, to more modalities: radiation and surgery.
Drugs do not have the power to heal. Instead, they have the power to alter the natural programming of the body to heal itself — thus interfering with our internal doctor’s efforts to heal us. Radiation has no power to heal us either, but rather burns both sick and well cells. Nor does surgery have power to heal, but rather removes the part of the body that is sick.
God did not place any spare parts into the body when He created it. Every part has a purpose. When we harm a part through drugs, radiation, or surgery, we do damage to the integrity of the body. This makes it ever more difficult for our internal doctor to perform its God given ability to heal our sick bodies.
Now Let’s Go Into A Hospital
A person in hospital not only needs to recover from their sickness. Often their body’s natural healing abilities must fight an uphill battle due to hindering effects of “treatment” consisting of drugs, radiation, or surgery. Furthermore, the only food this struggling body receives is loaded with the very substances that caused the physical breakdown in the first place!
Is there not something wrong with this picture?
Does National Health Care Offer Hope?
National Health Care, rather than offering people an opportunity to escape the failed modern medical approach, will force everyone into it. So what are our options?
How To Empower Your Internal Doctor
God programmed self-healing into bodies of Adam and Eve. This self-healing has been handed down in our DNA from generation to generation and ultimately to you and me.
We all have this self-healing built into our bodies. All we need know is how to empower our internal doctor so it can do what God designed it to do. This is what Hallelujah Acres is all about. We teach how to empower this internal doctor through simple diet and lifestyle changes.
Our bodies were designed by God to strive for wellness. When given half a chance, our body will always try to correct a physical breakdown; but the body’s ability to do that is almost exclusively in our hands and under our control.
If we want to get well and stay well, we must cooperate with our body and assist our internal doctor in its healing task. The very first thing we must do is eliminate from our diet those substances that caused the physical breakdown.In order to fix something you must first remove its cause.
While these toxic substances are being eliminated, we must replace them with the building materials the body desperately needs to rebuild our internal doctor — and thus restore the body’s ability to heal itself.
Over the past 20 years, tens of thousands of people have written or verbally shared with me that after they made the diet and lifestyle changes we teach here at Hallelujah Acres, they recovered from over 170 different physical problems. You can read thousands of these testimonies here!
Do You Want To Be Well?
Dear friend, I have just shown you how to strengthen your internal doctor so that it can perform the healing task necessary to restore your health. What are you going to do with that information? The choice is yours – ignore it and continue to suffer – or apply the information and see your health restored.
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.” (Deuteronomy 30:19)
The Doctor Within
Aug 30th
In last week’s Health Tip, we learned from Scriptures how God created our physical bodies and what He designed our physical bodies to be nourished with. As a result of failing to nourish our bodies according to God’s instructions we get sick.
Today, most everybody we know is sick to varying degrees (this may even include you). We see everything from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, acne, colds and the flu to diabetes, arthritis, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, obesity, and you name it.
And how do we deal with these physical problems? Do not most turn to the world and the “world’s wisdom” system for help?
Are you aware of what God has to say about the “world’s wisdom” system?
“The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.”
(I Corinthians 1:19)
The “world’s wisdom” has given us the Standard American Diet (SAD) — which creates sickness! Then the world’s wisdom leads us to the symptom-treating modalities of modern medicine to “overcome” these physical problems.
And where does all of this “world’s wisdom” get us? Continued sickness, debilitating diseases, an early grave and an empty bank account.
God Has Provided A Better Way
Yes, God has provided a better way than the world’s way with regards to how we nourish our bodies. Even after we have followed the world’s way and become sick, He provides a superior way to recover from these sicknesses.
And what is that better way?
God built self-healing into each of our bodies.
As we learn ever more about this incredible physical “temple” God has provided each of us to dwell in during our earthly journey, how can we fail to exclaim words similar to those of the Psalmist in Psalm 139:14? “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
Self-Healing Built In
But God did much more than just create us, He placed within each of our bodies a means for the body to heal itself of almost anything that goes wrong.
I’ll begin to explain this phenomenon using a simple explanation most will be able to relate to – have you ever cut yourself?
We all have. Now let’s pay close attention to what happens immediately after we cut ourselves. Note that there is nothing we needed to do in order for this healing to take place:
- Immediately following the cut, the first thing we see is blood coming forth from that break in the skin. Blood is a natural antibiotic and cleanser of the wound. Then after the bleeding has stopped (if the cut is not in an artery) we see the blood start to coagulate, and then we see something very fascinating take place.
- Right before our eyes we see a scab form. Where did that scab come from, and what is its purpose? When God created that original couple, Adam and Eve, He knew that we humans would on occasion cut ourselves.
- So God placed within the genetic coding of mankind the means of closing the break in the skin and restoring the skin to its former protective abilities by causing a scab to form over the break in the skin in order to protect it from the elements while underneath that scab the body is feverishly working to close up the break in the skin by knitting the skin back together.
- Then after the skin has been knit back together and the break closed, the scab instinctively knows enough to fall off and right there right before our eyes we behold the incredible self-healing ability of the body.
- We see this same self-healing manifest when we break a bone – as the body literally knits the broken bone back together. Of course we have to sometimes align the bone to make sure it knits itself back in a proper position, but the point is that the body did the healing because of its built-in healing abilities placed there by God.
Now I want to share with you something that should thrill you – God not only built self-healing into the exterior of the body, but He also build self-healing into the interior of the body as well.
God Placed A Doctor Inside You
Just as the body has the ability to heal itself on the outside, God built into our physical bodies the ability to heal itself on the inside as well. But there are TWO prerequisites for healing:
When we go to a medical doctor with a physical problem, most doctors have been taught in medical school to deal with the symptom and not with the cause.
Sadly, dealing with the symptom will never eliminate the problem. Let me share a few examples:
- Migraine – Go to a doctor complaining of a migraine headache and what will the doctor do? Will the doctor seek the cause of the migraine or prescribe a pain killing drug? Does the drug remove the cause of the migraine or does it merely temporarily relieve the pain? Which, incidentally, will return again and again and again until the cause is eliminated!
- Arthritis – Go to a doctor complaining of joint pain and the doctor gives you a diagnosis of arthritis. Does the doctor try to find the cause or attempt to subdue it with a drug? Because the cause was not dealt with, the condition will usually worsen. Stronger and stronger medications will be needed as the condition continues to worsen.
- Diabetes – The same approach is usually used when it comes to diabetes. When a person is diagnosed with diabetes, most doctors only deal with the symptom of high sugar readings by giving the patient insulin to control the situation, while making no effort to find the cause of the high sugar readings. Yet, most Type 2 diabetics, by simply eliminating the cause, can see their blood sugar readings normalize quite quickly and no longer have need of insulin.
- Cancer – When a person is diagnosed with cancer, the doctor will usually treat it (the symptom) with a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Sadly, all of these only deal with the symptom and not with the cause. The proof? Cancer in many instances returns and with a vengeance years later. The cause was simply not addressed.
Dealing With Symptoms Will Never Bring Healing
I could go on to show that almost every physical problem a person has (aside from accidental injury), is treated for the symptom only. No attempt is made to find the cause of the symptom.
If we want to get well and stay well from the physical problems we experience, the very first thing we should try to determine is what caused the problem.
If we want to eliminate a physical problem, we must do more than just cover up a symptom. We must find the CAUSE of the problem and eliminate it.
Once the cause is determined and eliminated, the physical problem in most instances simply goes away. That is, unless, they entertain the CAUSE again.
Sadly, most people do not realize that God has given us almost total control over physical problems as He expresses in Proverbs 26:2, “The curse CAUSELESS shall not come.”
In other words, if we do not entertain the CAUSE of a physical problem, the curse of that physical problem will not manifest.
It was a thrilling day in my life 35 years ago when I realized that I could control my health by eliminating the causes of ill health. Once I learned that by eliminating the cause of physical problems I could eliminate sickness from my life, I dropped my health insurance policy. The result: over $150,000 saved. And I haven’t had a cold since making the diet and lifestyle change in 1976.
How To Kill The Doctor Inside
We destroy this internal doctor’s ability to heal us and keep us in health through improper diet and lifestyle. The Bible tells us in Galatians 6:7: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”. This is an irrefutable law established by God.
Deuteronomy 30:19 shows us how God dealt with the Israelites when it came to a life and death issue – He gave them choices. They could choose “life” or they could choose “death”.
Well, when it comes to our health, once again God gives us the choice of choosing health and thus “life”, or sickness and “death.” Here’s how the Bible puts it:
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life that both thou and thy seed may live”
(Deuteronomy 30:19)
Can you imagine having a God who has been so gracious as to give each of us an internal doctor that dwells within us from the cradle to the grave? Yet that is exactly what He has done! Sadly, most are unaware God has given them such a wonderful gift.
Still others (and this I have great difficulty understanding) who are aware of this gift knowingly place things into their bodies that will seriously wound or kill their internal doctor.
They accomplish this by neglecting to observe the natural nutritional laws God has established in the Bible.
Is There A Place For Modern Medicine?
Occasionally I receive a letter from someone who does not appreciate some of the things I have to say about the doctors of the world’s way. Some consider my words a put-down to doctors and the medical profession in general, and that I have no appreciation for doctors and what they do.
So let me share some of my thoughts concerning doctors:
1. I am not against doctors – Most are very sincere individuals who entered their profession with a sincere desire to help their fellow man. I have some wonderful friends who are doctors and here at Hallelujah Acres we have already had 64 medical doctors go through our Health Minister Training program. Many of these medical doctors are using The Hallelujah Diet in their practices, so how could I be against all doctors?
2. Nor am I against nurses. My mother was an RN and besides, nurses only do what they are instructed to, so they can’t be faulted. But these nurses do see the horrible consequences of modern medical treatments. We have had well over 300 nurses complete our Health Minister program here at Hallelujah Acres.
3. My criticism is of modern medicine’s approach to physical problems. Most doctors practice what they were taught in medical school. So it is not the doctor that I am critical of but the practice of what they were taught. Much of the financing of our medical colleges comes from the drug industry. Of course, this has great influence on what doctors learn and how they deal with their patients’ physical problems.
4. Doctors excel at putting accident victims back together. If I were to have an accident, there is no one I would rather see than a good trauma doctor. It is amazing, with all the modern technology available today, how well doctors are able to restore the integrity of physical bodies.
5. I am extremely supportive of well-trained chiropractors – Chiropractors are not taught to treat symptoms. Rather they are taught how to restore energy flow so the body will function better. Most chiropractors have a much greater awareness of the need to properly nourish the body if health — true health — is to be achieved.
6. Rhonda and I personally go to doctors and have annual blood profiles performed in order to detect any weaknesses in order to fine tune our bodies to achieve the greatest health possible. One of the doctors we go to is not only on The Hallelujah Diet but also has completed our Health Minister training. He requires all new patients to adopt The Hallelujah Diet for 21 days because he has found that it is only the body that has the ability to heal. He understands that all he can do is direct the patient as to how they can contribute to their own healing through proper diet and lifestyle. And by the way, the results he is obtaining with his patients is phenomenal!
Next Week – The good Lord willing and if the creeks don’t rise too high we will conclude this article by sharing what things we are doing that seriously wound or kill our internal doctor, and what things we can do to make that internal doctor strong and powerful so that we can experience the health that God designed for each of us. Hope to see you next week!
My Wife Suffers With Depression
Aug 27th
“Dear Mr. Malkmus, my wife has suffered with depression for the past three years and is taking antidepressants which only help sometimes. After an episode in which the antidepressants will help for awhile and she seems to be overcoming the depression, she has a relapse and goes right back into depression. She eats mainly plant foods and has reduced dairy and sugar intake, and takes antidepressants, but still suffers with bouts of depression. Could you help us? Shalom.”
Craig M., Victoria, Australia
Editor Responds
Craig, many people have overcome depression issues after faithfully following The Hallelujah Diet. But if victory over depression is desired, there are some critical components that must not be neglected:
1. Refined sugar intake must be more than reduced, it must be eliminated! Refined sugar has a very negative effect upon the mind and contributes to depression.
2. Vitamin D insufficiency – Low levels of vitamin D are associated with depression as well as most chronic conditions. Seventy percent of children here in America are deficient in vitamin D and the percentage of adults deficient in vitamin D is even higher. I am sure these deficiencies are similar in Australia where you live. Optimal blood levels of vitamin D are 50 to 80 ng/ml.
3. Omega 3 fats – Low intake of Omega 3 fatty acids is a major underlying issue of depression. I would encourage you get a copy of the book “The Omega 3 Connection” by Andrew Stoll, MD. Dr. Stoll has found great success in treating depression with omega 3s. Pharmax Fish Oil provides the critical long-chain DHA component of omega 3s as well as the short-chain omega 3 itself.
4. Exercise – Aerobic exercise is an important component in overcoming depression. Increased oxygen intake occurs when the body is being aerobically exercised and increased oxygen helps control depression.
5. The Hallelujah Diet – Comprised of 85% raw and 15% cooked plant-based foods along with abundant raw vegetable juices, The Hallelujah Diet is really the starting place for all physical and psychological issues. However, what we stop placing into our bodies is as important; many of the toxic substances found in the Standard American (or Australian) Diet (SAD) can contribute to depression as well, and must be eliminated. You can read more about The Hallelujah Diet here.
Designed By God To Be In Health
Aug 23rd
The physical body we each possess was designed by God (see John 1:3). So if God designed us, He ought to be the one we look to for wisdom in how to maintain our God designed bodies. Right?
Sadly, and to our shame, many acknowledging their physical bodies were designed by God look to the world for wisdom in how to care for them.
Before we go any further, let’s take a few moments to look at a few things the Bible has to say about the physical body we each possess – where this physical body came from, what it is comprised of, and what God designed our body to be nourished with.
God Created The First Human From Rock Dust
And where did that “rock dust come from? “In the beginning GOD CREATED the heaven and the earth.” This entire God created earth is comprised of 100% rock minerals and it is these rock minerals God used as building material to form man.
In Genesis 2:7, these rock minerals are called “the dust of the ground”.
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 2:7)
Similar to the way a potter will take a glob of clay (rock minerals) and fashion it into a beautiful work of art, God took the inorganic minerals (called the “dust of the ground” in Genesis 2:7) and fashioned them into the most incredible work of art – the first human physical body (Adam).
Many a mortal potter has taken a lump of clay and fashioned it into a human replica but there was something missing that the potter could not provide – and that missing ingredient is life!
But God, the Creator of the earth, had the power to create life by simply breathing “life” into that lifeless body! Thus “man became a LIVING soul”. That’s where human physical life began!
Where Did God Put Adam After Creating Him?
“And the Lord God planted a garden eastward of Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD GOD to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; . . .” (Genesis 2:8-9)
“And the LORD GOD took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.” (Genesis 2:15)
And What Did God Tell Adam He Should Eat?
“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)
Any good concordance will reveal that the word “meat” here in the Kings James Version of the Bible is (in today’s English) an inaccurate translation from the Hebrew. It should be “food”.
So what is God telling Adam he should eat?
He is telling him that his diet should consist exclusively of the fruits and vegetables coming from the plants in the garden.
Where Did Eve Come From?
After God had created Adam, we learn in Genesis 2:18 “And the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him”, and in verses 21-23 we learn how God created Eve from one of Adam’s ribs.
“And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man.” (Genesis 2:21-23)
Where Did You And I Come From?
“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply . . .” (Genesis 1:28)
Everyone of us, if we could trace our family tree back far enough, would find that Adam and Eve were the roots of our family tree.
If God had not created and “blessed” Adam and Eve, and told them to “be fruitful and multiply” not a single one of us would be here on earth today.
What Becomes Of Our Body After Death?
God created those first humans to live forever (see Genesis 3:22), but because of Adam and Eve’s sin (see Genesis 3:1-24), God said “thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 3:17)
And what does the Bible say happens to the body when a person dies?
“In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread [food], till thou return unto the ground; for out of it was thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.” (Genesis 3:19)
For proof of the Bible statement “for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return”, just look at what is left after a body is cremated – only a small pile of rock dust remains. If a body is buried (without the protection of a casket) that body soon decomposes and joins the earth minerals in its surrounding environment.
This is the same decomposing process all animals in the wild experience upon death, as does all plant life.
The scripture “. . . for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return”, is not only true of the human physical body upon death, but also true of all God created forms of life – both animal and plant life.
The Importance Of Minerals
How often do we hear of the need of the body for specific minerals? The body needs calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorous, sodium, iodine, etc. Minerals have three primary functions within the body:
- They provide structure in forming bones and teeth.
- They help maintain normal heart rhythm, muscle function, neural conductivity, and acid-base balance.
- They help regulate cellular metabolism by becoming part of enzymes and hormones that modulate cellular activity.
Where Do These Minerals Come From?
All minerals come from the GROUND and are constantly being recycled through plant and animal life following death and decomposition as they go back into the ground and become a part of the earth!
But God did not design our bodies to receive minerals in powdered rock form as they are found in the ground, because these powdered rock minerals are very difficult to impossible for the body to utilize.
Actually, placing these “dead” rock minerals into the body in excess can be dangerous. So how does God make these rock minerals usable?
Rain falls from the clouds in a distilled form. Distilled water dissolves rock minerals. As this rainwater percolates through these minerals, a number of these earth minerals dissolve into the ground water and are broken down so plants can absorb them.
These rock minerals are also deposited into all ground water sources – well, spring, river, etc as the soils wash into our water sources. You cannot see them, but when you boil water coming from a ground water source you can see a deposit of these minerals lining the pot.
These minerals are taken up by the roots of the plant and are made available in a form that is easy for the body to assimilate as we nourish the body the way God intended. Plant source foods are by far the best source of bio-available minerals for the body.
Many ionic minerals bind to other elements in the water and form some mineral complexes that are more difficult for the body to utilize. Calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide are the two most common and abundant minerals found in ground water. They are basically rock minerals, sparingly soluble in water. The calcium and magnesium are not very usable from these sources due to the tight chemical bond and might cause more harm than good if not eliminated by way of the urine.
Our best source of drinking water is distilled water that has been remineralized with WaterMax™ to produce a slightly alkaline drinking water that does not remove valuable minerals from the body.
The Importance Of The Plant
When God placed Adam and Eve in that Garden and told them in Genesis 1:29 the plants coming from the garden were to be their exclusive source of nourishment, God knew what He was doing.
Did you that all the nutrients the body needs come exclusively from garden plants, including the body’s mineral needs?
All physical life emanates from the sun’s energy being received by the green plant. This process is called photosynthesis:
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light into chemical energy. In green plants, light energy is captured by chlorophyll in the chloroplasts of the leaves and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds (simple and complex sugars) that are the basis of both plant and animal life.
In Nature All Animals Eat Their Food Raw
In nature, we find that all animals receive this sun energy and all their nutrients either directly from the green plant by eating the green plant or second hand by eating the animal that ate the green plant. But it is important to note that all animals in the wild eat their food raw – never cooked – because the heat in cooking destroys this sun energy.
The gazelle gets its nutrients directly from the plant by eating the plant, while the lion that eats the gazelle gets it nutrients by consuming the flesh of the gazelle after the nutrients have become a part of the gazelle’s body. It is important to note that all carnivorous animals in the wild consume the raw flesh of a plant eating animals.
In the Dr. Pottenger’s research experiment using 900 cats, Dr. Pottenger learned that when cats were fed raw meat over a nine-year experiment, the cats thrived, were able to consistently reproduce, and their offspring did not get sick.
But Dr. Pottenger learned that by feeding another group of cats the identical meat, only in cooked form, the animals in three generations could no longer reproduce. He also learned that the longer these cats ate the meat in cooked form, the sooner sickness occurred in their offspring.
God did not design the human digestive tract to properly process the nutrients found in animal flesh foods in raw or cooked form. Rather, God designed the human body to receive its nutrients exclusively from plant foods in their raw, living form.
When man obtains these plant nutrients through the flesh of a dead animal, especially when that animal flesh has been cooked, serious potential problems result. In fact, almost every physical problem man experiences today is caused by the consuming of animal flesh – including but not limited to heart attacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, acid stomach, heart burn, and the list goes on and on.
Sickness Abounds Today
From the time God gave Adam that 100% raw, plant-based diet in Genesis 1:29 until 1,700 years later when flood waters destroyed all plant life there is not a single recorded instance of sickness. At that time, man lived to an average age of 912.
However, after the flood waters had destroyed all plant foods (see Genesis 7:19 & 24), God allowed mankind to consume the flesh of the clean animals which were on the ark in Genesis 9:3 (I believe for survival purposes because all plant foods had been destroyed by the flood). We also learn that man began to cook his food about this same time.
What was the result? Sickness entered the human race. And as man has continued to wander further and further from consuming the foods God told him he should consume in Genesis 1:29, sickness has continued to increase until today sickness is being experienced at younger and younger ages.
After accidents, cancer is the number one cause of death among our children while diabetes abounds. Not to mention our senior citizens with all their physical problems.
This sickness and deterioration continues despite an ever increasing use of high cost modern medicine. In fact, the cost of health care in America is steadily increasing while the health of the American people steadily declines.
If the American people do not soon return to the plant based foods God designed our physical bodies to be nourished with, health care costs will bankrupt our nation.
Friends, National Health Care will never bring health to the American people. Only a return to a plant-based diet can do that.
Fortunately, there are a growing number of people today who have learned how to eliminate sickness and live in health. These are the people who have learned that their bodies were “Designed by God to “be in health” and have obtained that health by returning to consuming their food in the form God told Adam it should be consumed in Genesis 1:29. (The Hallelujah Diet is patterned after God’s Genesis 1:29 diet.)
These people become a living, breathing testimony and an inspiration to others. Following this diet and lifestyle change, sicknesses of all kinds are simply disappearing, weight is normalizing, eyesight is improving, and energy is increasing, as their bodies become fit for the Master’s use.
Thirty-five years ago I made this diet and lifestyle change and in less than a year saw my cancer simply disappear and my health restored. Rhonda in less than a year of making the diet and lifestyle change saw her debilitating arthritis disappear while losing 85 pounds.
Millions of others have made this diet and lifestyle change, while tens of thousands have written to tell me that after they made the diet and lifestyle change they recovered from over 170 different physical problems, including terminal, metastasized, stage-4 cancers.

Why Some People Do Not Recover On The Hallelujah Diet
Aug 20th
Most people who adopt The Hallelujah Diet see dramatic improvements in their health. Tens of thousands have written to give testimony of over 170 different physical and psychological problems disappearing, while one man reported 28 different physical problems disappearing after making the diet and lifestyle change.
Occasionally there is someone like Mildred, who writes below. Mildred says she is on The Hallelujah Diet, yet she is not experiencing the same positive results others have reported in her same situation.
Dear Rev. Malkmus, I have always kept a healthy diet and always update my knowledge. That is why I use The Hallelujah Diet. Yet I still have fibroids. From my research I seem to be doing all the right things so it does not make sense to me why my fibroid issue has not as yet been resolved. Can you throw any light on this for me. Thank you!

Editor Responds
Dear Mildred,
Sorry to hear that you’re struggling; could there be some seemingly minor details that have been overlooked?
We talk with folks each week who are experiencing physical issues who thought they were following The Hallelujah Diet, but in talking with them we learn that in reality some things were missing.
Here are some areas that may be missing from the regimen of the person who is not getting complete results. Perhaps you can identify with some of these:
1. Omega 3 Fatty Acids – Most folks are woefully deficient in omega 3 fatty acids while getting an excess of omega 6s. Some people are consuming little to no omega 3s, which are essential nutrients for health. In order to make sure I personally receive sufficient omega 3s I take the following: ¼ cup flax seed (ground just before consuming) and a teaspoon of Pharmax fish oil (available from Hallelujah Acres). The Pharmax fish oil not only supplies omega 3, but is an excellent source of DHA.
2. Vitamin B12 – There is no B12 in a plant-based diet. I personally use a B12 supplement at least three times weekly. The B12 should be in the methylcobalamin form as found in Hallelujah Acres B12-B6-Folic Acid supplement or our B-Flax-D product, both of which contain over 900 mcg of B12 per serving.
3. Too Much Fruit – Fruits are the cleansers of the body while vegetables are the feeders. Fruits should be limited to no more than 15% by volume of daily food intake. Many fruits are hybrids, too rich in sugar, harvested green, and/or lacking in nutrient value. Fiber in fruit regulates the fruit’s sugar content. Because juicing fruit removes this fiber (leaving a concentrate of sugar in the juice), fruit juices should be avoided or used very minimally. My daily fruit intake is usually limited to half a banana, several chunks of pineapple, and a handful of berries (especially blueberries) in my green smoothie each morning.
4. Too Many Nuts – Nuts are very rich foods and are high in proteins and fats. For this reason, nut intake should be kept low. Rhonda makes almond milk most days and occasionally will use nuts in the crust of a pie.
5. Vegetable Juices – Our foods are often lacking in nutritional value. The most efficient way to increase nutrient intake and efficiently deliver these nutrients to cellular level is by way of freshly extracted vegetable juices. Rhonda and I juice daily; we go through about 25 pounds of organic carrots every week. We add two stalks of celery and ¼ of a cucumber and enough carrots to make two 8oz glasses of juice.
6. BarleyMax – BarleyMax is an incredible source of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements that are missing in commercially grown foods. Rhonda and I each consume at least three teaspoons of BarleyMax daily. I consider it the single most important thing in my diet each day.
7. Sunshine – Sunshine is the natural source of vitamin D, which is absolutely essential for health. Vitamin D levels should be maintained at 50 to 80 ng/ml as determined through blood testing. Few people spend sufficient time in the sun to achieve these levels. Rhonda and I take 5,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily from October through March to assure adequate vitamin D intake. We do obtain quite a bit of sun in the summer months and do not feel the need to supplement during these months.
8. Iodine – Most soils are deficient in iodine and thus plants grown on these deficient soils are woefully lacking in iodine. Most people would benefit from some level of iodine supplementation. David Brownstein, M.D. in his book “Iodine, Why You Need it, and Why You Can’t Live Without It” tells how all the cells of the body require iodine, but especially the thyroid, breast tissue, ovaries and prostate. Rhonda and I both take iodine supplementation.
9. Eating All Raw – Most raw diets fail to meet the body’s required calories without consuming an excess of nuts, seeds, avocados, and fruits. The 15% cooked portion of the Hallelujah Diet assures the caloric needs of the body are met. Rhonda and I most evenings after our BarleyMax and large salad, consume something in cooked form (baked white or sweet potato, a whole grain or whole grain pasta, steamed vegetables, baked squash, beans, etc.)
10. Suboptimal Bowel Function – With less than optimal bowel function, toxins are not eliminated timely and efficiently. This toxin build leads to all manner of physical breakdown. Optimally, the body should have 2 to 3 good eliminations daily. Most find that the abundant fiber in The Hallelujah Diet produces these kinds of results. For those unable to achieve optimal bowel movements, herbal help is sometimes necessary.
11. Exercise – The body was made by God to move. Our farmer forefathers obtained daily exercise, but today most people are woefully deficient in exercise. I personally do stretching, resistance and aerobic exercises daily. Rhonda and I regularly walk 2 to 4 miles daily and usually with our walking sticks.
12. Abundant Oxygen – Large volumes of oxygen are essential for good health. Practice deep breathing and in your daily walking, try to achieve a pace fast enough to require deep breathing. Oxygen is also brain food and helps wipe away the cobwebs.
The Only Answer to Cancer – A Strong Immune System
Aug 16th
In my numerous seminars through the years, thousands of people have approached me with one of the books I have written in hand and asked if I would autograph it for them. Of course I have obliged by autographing their book. Under my autograph I always share Romans 12:1-2…
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:1-2)
To whom is God directing this portion of scripture?
Obviously, this Scripture is being directed to the born-again, blood washed believer in Jesus Christ! How do we know this? Because it says: “I beseech you therefore, brethren.”
And what is the subject of this directive?
Clearly it is talking about our individual bodies. “That ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God.” In other words, we are to surrender control of our body over to God. This verse says that doing so is only our “reasonable service.”
And what is the warning?
That we should not to be “conformed to this world” in how we take care of our physical bodies! Note the connecting word “and”. Verse 2 is clearly talking about the subject of verse 1, which is proper care of our bodies.
In the last two Health Tips, #715 and #716, I spoke extensively about Health Insurance and how Christians, rather than taking responsibility for our own health as God commands, have done the exact opposite. We have “conformed to this world.” We have been duped by the world into trusting its system called “Health Insurance” rather than taking charge and being responsible for our own health.
Here Is Where We Stand Today
The Christian community eats the world’s SAD diet, not the diet we are instructed by God to do in Genesis 1:29.
“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb 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).”
As a direct result of eating the world’s SAD diet, we get sick! There is an irreversible natural law involved here. “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7).
After we get sick because of placing things into our bodies that God never intended, what do we do? Do we take back control of our bodies so we can recover from these physical problems using natural means? Oh, No! We run to get some prescription drugs. This very practice is condemned by God in Revelation 18:23. “…for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”
The word “sorceries” in this verse comes from the Greek word “PHARMA-keia” from which we derive the word “PHARMA-cy” and “PHARMA-cist.” And what does a Pharmacist dispense in a Pharmacy? Drugs!
Do you think drugs are of God or are they of this world? We warn our children against the drugs of alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, etc. However, if a drug prescribed by the doctor and paid for by Health Insurance, we see no problem placing it in our body.
Drugs Are Not the Answer
Prescription drugs, even if paid for by Health Insurance, are not the answer to the health of God’s people! Nor are they capable of restoring health.
Turning responsibility for our own health over to the world has serious consequences.
World’s Inability to Restore Health
The Bible warns us of the world’s inability to restore health to an individual in Mark 5:25-26:
“And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse”
For proof that the world’s system is incapable of restoring or maintaining health, just look at the state of health of the people in your church. What is the subject of the majority of the prayers?
Does not sickness abound? Did not the people we pray for go to the doctor, take their medicine and often have it all paid for by health insurance?
Are they getting better or are they time and time again getting worse? Each doctor and hospital visit they make brings them closer to the funeral. Then we lament that they were too young to die.
This my friends is the world’s way.
A Better Way
There is a better way to deal with our physical problems. I call it “God’s way!”
Reject the world’s way and take responsibly for your own health. That’s what I did 35-plus years ago. Millions of Christians around the world are doing it today.
You can read the results in the abundance of testimonies found in these weekly Health Tips, or by visiting Hacres.com for thousands more in over 100 different categories.
God Designed Our Bodies for Health
God did not design our bodies to ever experience sickness and cancer. When the body is nourished the way God tells us in Genesis 1:29, the immune system remains strong and protective, and the body remains healthy. Thus, a strong immune system cancer-proofs a body.
The immune system even has the ability to go far beyond just preventing cancer. Rebuilding the immune system actually provides a body the best chance of surviving a cancer even after it has been diagnosed.
A strengthened immune system gives us the best chance of restoring the body to wellness from most other physical problems as well.
That brings us back to the subject of this week’s Health Tip. I want us to understand what elements weaken and destroy the immune system and what restore it to a protective state.
What Weakens the Immune System?
- Refined Sugar – Refined sugar is an immune system suppressant! It hinders or destroys the immune system’s ability to protect a person from germs, viruses, bacteria, cancer, etc. Every time a person drinks a soda pop or eats candy, donuts, cake, pie, pastry or anything else containing refined sugar, they are disabling their immune system, making it less protective.
- Standard American Diet (SAD) – Our body cells are dependent on the nutrients made available from the foods we eat. The SAD does not provide our body cells with quality building materials. Without them there is a slow degeneration and deterioration of the entire cellular structure of the body, including the immune system.
- Cow’s Milk is responsible for most of the congestion and allergy problems people experience – children and adults. It is also responsible for many ear infections in children. Cow’s milk suppresses an infant or child’s immune system. Alternatively, Mother’s breast milk, vegetable juice and BarleyMax, are huge factors in building the infants or child’s immune system. Cow’s milk, organic or not, is a dangerous substance to place into the body of any human. God designed cow milk to nourish a 100 pound calf at birth and grow it to 2,000 or more pounds at maturity. He did not design cow’s milk for human consumption.
- Vaccinations – The number of immune destroying substances found in vaccinations is staggering. Detergents, formaldehyde, microbes, antibiotics, chemicals, heavy metals and animal byproducts, just for starters. We need to realize that when we allow these toxic substances to be injected into our bodies we are doing great harm to the immune system.
- Suppression Of Childhood Diseases – Suppression of childhood diseases through unnatural immunization (vaccinations) and drugs weakens the immune system. This puts the child at greater risk for eventually developing cancer and other serious physical problems.
- Early Puberty – God designed the female body to begin naturally producing estrogen after the age of 15. That’s when God designed puberty to begin. Today, puberty is beginning in little girls as young as 8 years of age. Why? The growth hormones (estrogen) found in the animal flesh, dairy, and soy jumpstart puberty. In addition to causing monumental social problems, this increases the risk for future breast cancer development. Research reveals that the earlier puberty occurs, the greater the risk for developing cancer later on.
- Dehydration – Most people do not drink enough purified water. Drinking liquids such as coffee, caffeinated teas, sodas, energy drinks and alcohol rather than providing the body with hydrating liquid only causes further dehydration.
- Routine Cancer Screening – Mammograms have never been proven to be safe or to prolong the life of a person. Rather they often lead to unnecessary surgeries while potentially activating otherwise dormant or benign conditions. Prostate Cancer Screenings do nothing but put money in the medical community’s pocket. These PSA tests have led many healthy men to undergo needless surgeries, severely damaging their quality of life.
- Colonoscopies can lead to perforation and bleeding of the colon wall, infections, and even death. Also, during the procedure, patients are given toxic drugs which further suppress and weaken the immune system.
- Other Immune System Killers
- Obesity and carrying excess weight
- Smoking (nicotine and marijuana)
- Drinking alcohol and the use of other drugs
- Drinking chlorinated and fluoridated water
- Dying of hair (the toxic dyes are absorbed into the blood stream)
- Consuming artificial sweeteners and foods containing MSG
- Eating French fries and other fried foods.
- Watching television for extended periods of time
- Sitting in front of a computer without protection for long periods
- Playing video games for long periods of time
What Strengthens the Immune System?
- Proper Diet – The most powerful rebuilder and maintainer of the immune system is proper diet! Our experience here at Hallelujah Acres has revealed that the most powerful immune system rebuilding diet available would consist of: approximately 85% raw plant foods along with about 15% cooked plant foods. Fresh vegetable juices are the most powerful cell building and immune system restoring foods we are aware of. Raw, organic green grass juice powders such as BarleyMax provide immune system cells with some of the greatest building materials, in convenient form, that we are aware of.
- Exercise – You have perhaps heard the phrase “use it or lose it.” That certainly is true concerning these physical bodies. God designed us to be almost constantly moving during our waking hours. Most of our forefathers were farmers and received daily vigorous exercise. Most people today are “couch potatoes” and receive little if any exercise. Vigorous daily movement of the body is as necessary in maintaining or strengthening the immune system as proper diet.
- Oxygen – God designed the physical body to be constantly taking oxygen into it with every breath. It is called the “breath of life” in Genesis 2:7. Just as the “life of the flesh in the blood,” the body cannot live without oxygen. A couch potato takes in very little oxygen and that leads to a weakened immune system. A well exercised body takes in copious amounts of oxygen and contributes to a strengthened and strong immune system.
- Sun – All life originated with the Son!
“All things were made by him (Jesus – the Son), and without him was not anything made that was made.” (John 1:3)
Jesus is the Creator, but He placed the Sun in the firmament with a purpose: “to give light upon the earth and to rule the day” (Genesis 1:14-18). All cell building nutrients come from the effects the Sun has upon the green plants through the process of photosynthesis. When we consume plant foods in their raw state we energize our bodies with the Sun’s energy (just like when we pray we energize our life with the Son’s power). When we fail to consume these energized plant foods, we weaken our immune system. The body also has need of the Sun’s rays falling upon its skin. Failure to provide the body with sunlight further weakens the immune system. If adequate sunlight is not an option, then supplementation with Vitamin D3 is imperative. - Rest – It is only while a person is sleeping that the body does its repair work. The most important hours of repair are the hours before midnight. In fact, some say that every hour before midnight is equal to two hours after midnight in repair ability. Ideal sleeping conditions would include a dark and quiet room with fresh air and burdens left with the Lord kneeling beside the bed before entering it. Most people require seven to nine hours per night of restorative sleep to maintain a strong immune system.
- Supplements – To help maintain a strong immune system or help rebuild a weakened one, there are several supplements that can help. BarleyMax, Vitamin B12, Omega 3 fatty-acid, Vitamin D and Iodine are the important ones.
The Choice Is Yours
In the book of Deuteronomy we read these words:
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.” (Deuteronomy 30:19)
Conclusion
It has been over 35 years, since being told I had colon cancer. I was given the choice of going the world’s way or God’s Way as a means of dealing with that cancer. I am so glad I chose God’s Way!
At the age of 42 I chose life by immediately changing my diet and lifestyle. My immune system was rebuilt using Genesis 1:29 foods, an abundance of vegetable juices and exercise.
The result is that I am still alive well over 35 years later and as I near my 80th birthday.
Now It Is Your Turn
Will you choose God’s Way of life or will you continue to take your chances going the world’s way? Will you “present your body” to God as He asks in Romans 12:1 or will you stubbornly head down a dangerous path?
I pray that you will choose God’s Way and life.
