Gout – A Natural Solution
Jun 25th
As I said in last week’s Health Tip, my articles on “Arthritis” generated a lot of mail. Included in that mail were a number of letters regarding “Gout” which is a form of arthritis. I will share a few of those letters below. Here’s the first one:
“Rev. Malkmus, my mother has gout. But the doctor doesn’t want her on any more drugs because of her kidney problems. Can you tell us how to get rid of gout for good and without drugs? Mom’s gout will go away for a week or two and then it is back with a vengeance. Any info you could provide would be appreciated.”
Trudy Y.
What Is Gout?
“Gout is a medical condition usually characterized by recurrent attacks of acute inflammatory arthritis—a red, tender, hot, swollen joint. The metatarsal-phalangeal joint at the base of the big toe is the most commonly affected. Gout is caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood which crystallize and are deposited in joints, tendons, and surrounding tissues.” – Wikipedia
Two Bible verses I want to bring to our attention before we proceed. The first one is found in Galatians 6:7 and reads: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” And the second is: “The curse causeless shall not come” (Proverbs 26:2).
What can we learn about gout from these two verses? (1) Gout is something we have control over and (2) Gout has a CAUSE.
What Causes Gout?
In Health Tip #707 (Arthritis – A Natural Approach), this editor wrote some words that have great application concerning the subject of gout, because gout is a form of arthritis:
Putting foods into our beautiful God made bodies that God never intended to enter it, as well as a failure to properly exercise the body, is the cause of most physical problems, including arthritis, and the pain associated with it. Arthritic pain is simply a warning signal coming from within the body, warning of a breakdown inside our body.
When we try to eliminate that arthritic pain and swelling through the use of toxic drugs, rather than trying to determine and eliminate the CAUSE, almost always leads to a worsening of the condition. How so?
When a person fails to eliminate the CAUSE of the problem, and continues to consume the very foods CAUSING the problem, the condition continues to deteriorate no matter how many drugs are administered.
No matter how many pain-killing drugs the doctor prescribes, the condition continues to worsen, often resulting in ever greater pain and debilitation, for which increasing amounts of drugs are prescribed. This is the “world’s wisdom” concerning arthritis, which too often leads to a wheelchair.
Arthritis is a matter of CHOICE! By our food CHOICES, we can CHOOSE to eat in a manner that will prevent arthritis, or in a way that will potentially CAUSE arthritis.
If a person is already experiencing arthritis, that person can CHOOSE to eat foods that will in most instances not only improve the condition, but usually eliminate the problem, or they can CHOOSE to continue to eat in a way that will exacerbate the problem.
The connection between diet and arthritis is crystal clear.
Diets very low in saturated fats, low in protein, high in fiber, and without cholesterol are best for the prevention of arthritis, while being of extreme importance in the elimination of the disease.
The Standard American Diet
The Standard American Diet (SAD) is very high in saturated fats, very high in protein, extremely low in fiber, and loaded with cholesterol. In addition, the average American fails to exercise their body sufficiently.
Thus, the SAD is a prescription for arthritis and gout, and the reason so many people in America suffer with arthritis today.
By contrast, The Hallelujah Diet is very low in saturated fats, low in protein, extremely high in fiber, contains zero cholesterol, and is high in exercise.
This is the reason that persons with gout who switch to The Hallelujah Diet usually see their condition either significantly improve or simply disappear altogether.
The cause and solution to arthritis and gout is found in the following Bible verse:
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)
Sow the SAD diet, reap arthritis and gout – sow The Hallelujah Diet, reap the elimination of arthritis and gout, and a pain-free life.
Here’s The Second Letter…
“I have gout in both my big toes. Both my toes seem to have sharp crystals that hurt if I bend them too much. I have been doing mostly The Hallelujah Diet for four years. Is there anything more I can do for my toes?”
Bharti H.
This is a most interesting letter because Bharti, if on the Hallelujah Diet, would have consumed no animal products for the past four years. Animal products are the primary cause of gout.
So a little research is necessary to figure out why a person who had already eliminated animal foods would still be suffering.
Uric Acid Causes Gout
Most people understand that animal products are high in uric acid. But few people realize that another source of uric acid is FRUCTOSE, a form of sugar found in high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), table sugar and believe it or not most fruits and especially fruit juices.
In Dr. Johnson’s book titled “The Sugar Fix” we learn “If you give animals fructose, they develop diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and fatty liver.” From Dr. Johnson’s book we also learn that “Fructose typically generates uric acid within minutes of ingestion.”
If you are consuming a diet that has already eliminated all animal source foods, and are still suffering from arthritis or gout, hopefully this information will put you on a path to finding the culprit — and claiming victory over pain and suffering.
EDITOR NOTE: The fact that fructose causes uric acid deserves an article on its own. Watch for an expanded article on this subject in a future issue of the Hallelujah Health Tip.
Asthma and Allergies – A Natural Approach
Jun 21st
This week we are going to tackle another physical problem affecting an ever growing number of Americans: asthma.
What is it?
Webster dictionary defines “Asthma” as:
“a paroxysmal (severe attack or a sudden increase in intensity of a disease) often allergic disorder of respiration characterized by bronchospasm, wheezing, and difficulty in expiration.”
Once again, as we did with our two previous Health Tips, let’s conduct a little contest between the “world’s wisdom” and “God’s wisdom.”
We will begin this contest by asking and answering a few questions to ascertain how well the world’s wisdom”is doing dealing with and finding a cure for asthma:
Some Asthma Statistics
- Approximately 34.1 million Americans have been diagnosed with asthma by a health professional during their lifetime.
- The prevalence of asthma increased 75% from 1980-1994.
- It is estimated that the number of people with asthma will grow by more than 100 million by 2025.
- The number of people with asthma continues to grow. One in 12 people (about 25 million, or 8% of the population) had asthma in 2009, compared with 1 in 14 (about 20 million, or 7%) in 2001.
- Asthma costs in the US grew from about $53 billion in 2002 to about $56 billion in 2007, about a 6% increase.
What Does Modern Medicine Have To Say About Asthma?
“No one really knows the causes of asthma. What we do know is that asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways. The causes of asthma symptoms can vary for different people. Still, one thing is consistent with asthma: when airways come into contact with an asthma trigger, the airways become inflamed, narrow, and fill with mucus.”
“When you have an asthma attack, spasms of the muscles around the airways, inflammation, and swelling of the mucosal membrane lining the airways, and excessive amounts of mucus contribute to airway narrowing. This makes airway resistance increase and the work of breathing more difficult, causing shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing. You may have coughing with asthma because of the irritation inside the airway and the body’s attempt to clean out the accumulations of thick mucus.
“So why do you have asthma and your friend doesn’t? No one really knows for sure. We do know that allergies play a role in many people with asthma but not in all. As with allergies, you can blame your family history, as there is a strong genetic component for asthma.” – Webmd.com
What Have We Learned From Modern Medicine?
“No one really knows the causes of asthma.” But “You can blame your family history, as there is a strong genetic component for asthma.” Thus we are led to believe that “No one knows its cause”, but for sure it is not your fault, because “there is a strong genetic component for asthma.”
If you suffer with asthma, you are told that you had nothing to do with creating of the problem – because the root cause of your asthma problem is in your genes. Blame momma, or great grandpa John, or some distant relative.
In this way, the modern medicine takes our attention away from any personal responsibility – and thus discourages a person searching for a CAUSE, such as diet and lifestyle – or what we are feeding our child if they have asthma.
What Happens When An Asthma Attack Occurs
While modern medicine informs us that they cannot tell us what causes an asthma attack, they can tell us what happens when the attack occurs:
“When you have an asthma attack, spasms of the muscles around the airways, inflammation and swelling of the mucosal membrane lining the airways, and excessive amounts of MUCUS contribute to airway narrowing.”
Here we learn that an asthma attack occurs when “excessive amounts of mucus” cause “airway narrowing.” Since we are told that “MUCUS” is involved, what CAUSES the mucous?
What Causes Mucous
Gary Null (M.D.) in his Complete Encyclopedia of Natural Healing states:
“In all respiratory conditions, mucous-forming dairy foods, such as milk and cheese, can exacerbate clogging of the lungs and should be avoided. Very simply, when more mucous accumulates in the lungs than can be expelled, asthma attacks develop. This belief has long been held in practiced medicine, and many medical doctors still stand behind this theory.”
Many other doctors and researchers are now beginning to agree that undiagnosed milk allergies may be the underlying problem.
“Milk is one of the two or three most common food allergens in the American diet,” says allergy specialist Dr. James Braly in Alternative Cures.
Dr. Frank Oski, the chief of pediatrics at the John Hopkins School of Medicine, believes that 50 percent of all school children may be allergic to milk.
Water’s Role
Mike Adams of naturalnews.com tells us:
“Lack of water is the second leading cause of asthma, and the sad fact is that most Americans live their entire lives in a state of chronic dehydration. The constriction of capillaries in the lungs is the body’s way of reducing water loss during respiration. This physiological response is frequently and inappropriately diagnosed as asthma by doctors. What doctors need to be prescribing is water, not steroids, and they need to be telling their patients to drink only water, not soft drinks, not juices (containing sugar), not punch, and certainly NOT COW’S MILK.
“Whether milk is the source of the mucous, or whether milk causes an allergic reaction that causes the body to produce mucous, or both – research suggests that milk definitely worsens asthma. Research reveals that a diet free of both milk, cheese, and meat, another common allergen, can greatly lessen asthma symptoms or completely alleviate symptoms. Once milk has been ruled out as the cause of asthma, then insufficient intake of water should be considered.”
What Research Reveals
Neil Nedley, M.D., in his book Proof Positive, tells of
“a Scandinavian study of 35 patients who had suffered from bronchial asthma for an average of twelve years. All of the participants were receiving long-term medications; 20 were on some of the most potent asthma medications that we use, the cortisone-type drugs such as Prednisone. These compounds can help people manage their asthma better, but they can also have significant long-term damaging side effects. In this research study, these 35 chronic asthmatics were asked to go on a total vegetarian diet for a year. After 4 months, 71% showed improvement and within one year 92% showed significant improvement.”
Andrew Weil, M.D. writes:
“If you or your spouse has allergies, asthma, eczema, autoimmunity, bronchitis, or sinusitis, or if your child is experiencing frequent colds and ear infections, it is worth experimenting with total elimination of cow’s milk in all its forms.”
Gary Null, PhD, in Complete Encyclopedia of Natural Healing writes:
“A prime consideration for those with asthma should be the identification and elimination of allergens in foods and in the environment. Although any food is suspect, the ones most likely to trigger asthma are dairy products, eggs, chocolate, wheat, corn, citrus fruits, fish. . . In all respiratory conditions, mucous forming dairy foods, such as milk and cheese, can exacerbate clogging of the lungs and should be avoided.”
Suzanne Havala, a registered dietitian from North Carolina, who was co-author of the American Dietetic Association’s 1992 edition of its position paper on vegetarian diets stated at a Washington press conference:
“after weaning, there is no need for milk of any sort. Vegetarians and their children get all the calcium they need from leafy vegetables, broccoli, etc.”
Dr. Russell Bunai, a pediatrician associated with the PCRM, who later took a two-year sabbatical from his practice to review the world literature on the subject said:
“Of all mammals, only humans drink the milk of another species.” In Ghana where he served as a medical missionary, he noted that the traditional diet contains no dairy products and that asthma and other allergic problems occurred only in people who adopted more westernized diets that included cow’s milk.
As with almost every physical problem being experienced today, the modern medicine fails to deal with CAUSES, but rather they deal almost exclusively with symptoms.
My Bible tells me that “THE CURSE CAUSELESS SHALL NOT COME.” In other words, the curse (which is the symptom, and in this case Asthma) will not come, without a CAUSE.
What Does The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) Say?
At the foundation’s website here is what I found:
“You can help AAFA in a variety of ways to support our education, advocacy, and research programs. Every contribution is 100% tax deductible. Since 1993, AAFA has been the provider of patient-centered information for the more than 60 million people with asthma and allergies in the United States. Through a gift to AAFA, you can memorialize a person who is no longer with us, or you can celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or other milestone to honor a friend or family member who is living with asthma or allergies.”
Why does modern medicine (along with all the other disease related foundations) deal almost exclusively with symptoms when by simply removing the CAUSE, almost all diseases could be eliminated?
My dear friend, do you not realize that if there were no SYMPTOMS for modern medicine to do research on or to treat, or for the foundations to raise money for, there would be no need for most scientists, doctors, and foundations?
Dealing with symptoms provides job security for the scientific community, for the AAFA and for all other disease foundations and societies, as well as doctors, drug companies, insurance companies, governmental health care programs, and all others involved in the so-called “health care” industry.
How Modern Medicine Deals With Asthma
Rather than seeking the CAUSE of asthma and eliminating the CAUSE, as usual, modern medicine treats the SYMPTOMS with drugs. And what drug do they use to treat the symptoms? Asthma inhalers are what most doctors will prescribe for the symptom of asthma.
But research shows that ingredients found in asthma inhalers actually worsen the condition, creating a cycle of dependence on the inhaler.
Asthma inhalers are largely unnecessary in the first place, since nearly every case of asthma can be reversed through simple dietary change.
How To Deal With Asthma and Allergies God’s Way
Simply eliminating the CAUSE of asthma and allergies will usually eliminate the problem! The primary CAUSE of asthma is mucous and allergens contained within the Standard American Diet. And the solution is a 100% plant-based diet.
Yes, the very diet God told mankind to consume in Genesis 1:29.
As a person stops placing into their body the CAUSE of their asthma, and starts nourishing the body as God designed it to be nourished, not only does asthma usually disappear, but so do also almost all other physical and even psychological problems.
You see, the body will almost always heal itself when the CAUSE is eliminated and good nutrition and exercise are provided.
Conclusion
Dealing with the symptoms of disease is costing the American people in excess of $2.7 TRILLION annually in so-called health care costs and is forecast to more than double.
As I have said so many times before, we do not have a health care system in America, but rather a “disease care” system. If we want to eliminate the need for this disease care system, along with the suffering and high costs associated with it, all we need to do is eliminate the CAUSE of physical problems!
That is what we teach here at Hallelujah Acres. Tens-of-thousands have written to tell us that after eliminating the CAUSE of their physical problem and adopting The Hallelujah Diet, a diet patterned after God’s Genesis 1:29 diet, they have seen over 170 different physical problems simply go away.
And these testimonies continue to come in from around the world on a daily basis. (You can read some of these testimonies in the “Mailbag” Section of this Health Tip each week, or click here to see thousands more.)
How Is God’s Wisdom Doing?
As for the contest between the world’s wisdom and God’s wisdom, who do you think won this contest?
As I said last week, I feel like the world’s wisdom is represented by today’s Goliath (the medical and drug industry along with various foundations), but little David (George) using God’s wisdom in these Health Tips is striking a knockout blow.

New Lifestyle Center In West Virginia
Jun 11th
Hallelujah Acres Lifestyle Centers, owned and operated by Hallelujah Acres trained Health Ministers, offer an in-home opportunity to experience The Hallelujah Diet!
Guests take part in the preparation of the meals, learn how to juice, and learn how tasty God’s garden foods can taste.
They also learn the importance of exercise and are exposed to information that will help them make the transition from the world’s diet to God’s original diet for mankind.
Previously we had Lifestyle Centers in Lake Lure, North Carolina, Plant City, Florida, and Branson, Missouri. Now we are thrilled to report that a new Lifestyle Center has just opened near Parkersburg, West Virginia.
Owners and proprietors of this new Lifestyle Center are Ben and Janis Medeiros.
Their story begins in 2002 when Ben began having pain in every joint and reported cholesterol readings of more than 380.
“When I had to start helping my husband out of bed at just 50 years old, I knew something had to change,” Janis said.
Around that time they were given Rev. Malkmus’ most famous book, Why Christians Get Sick, with over a million copies in print. They took the information to heart, began making changes, and got back on track to good health.
As they noticed their health improving, they considered making other changes in their life.
They had been in the construction business a long time, and being in California meant being far from their daughter and son in law in West Virginia. They were also considering how they might help others experience renewed health as they had.
As the possibility of moving to West Virginia brewed, Ben and Janis began looking for homes with the express purpose of someday opening a Hallelujah Acres Lifestyle Center. What they found was a resort-style home that was postcard perfect.
Perched on a picturesque hill, the Medeiros’ new home offers a commanding view of its private, serene surroundings encompassing more than 240 acres. With a few tweaks, they turned it into an ideal Hallelujah Acres Lifestyle Center!
Exquisite in its setting and its décor, this six-bedroom home boasts a large living room, dining room, and spacious Hallelujah-friendly kitchen on the main floor.
A fully furnished basement includes a fitness room, large game/theater room, a second kitchen for juicing, and even an infrared sauna.
In the rear of the home, a wonderful glassed-in room offers a fabulous view of rolling hillsides. A multi-tiered deck leads to a near-Olympic size saltwater pool with plenty of deck space to replenish your vitamin D in the sunshine.
The expansive- resort-style yard also features a volleyball court, fishpond, and serves as the gateway to 240 additional acres including beautiful scenery and a peaceful atmosphere.
The property also includes a fascinating private cemetery dating back to the early 1800s.
As they were transforming their home into a Lifestyle Center, Ben and Janis continued to transform their health. By 2008, they were eating only plant-based foods. Ben’s cholesterol dropped from 380 to 162 and his blood tests continue to be the best of his life.
Having completely rebuilt their health by 2010, new Health Ministers Ben and Janis decided their “building” work was done. They retired from their construction business to focus full-time on helping others regain their health just as they had.
They officially opened their home as a Lifestyle Center in March of 2011 and already visitors are filling up the schedule.
Whether you want to spice up your new Hallelujah Lifestyle with more action and adventure or just enjoy the serenity of the scenery, The Hallelujah Acres Lifestyle Center in Parkersburg, West Virginia has what you’re looking for.

Arthritis – A Natural Approach
Jun 7th
Let’s conduct a little contest in this Health Tip regarding Arthritis.
In one corner we are going to place the wisdom of this world and in the other corner the wisdom of God. By the time we reach the conclusion of this Health Tip, I will let you dear reader be the honest referee who determines which corner wins the contest.
The Wisdom of This World
The world’s wisdom corner, with hands raised in anticipated victory is boasting of its unlimited research dollars, a plethora of drugs, most advanced technologies, expensive x-ray equipment, laboratory testing abilities, an army of doctors trained in universities across the land, a huge and powerful association of doctors (AMA), along with legal protection (army of lawyers) should things go awry.
The Wisdom of God
But from God’s corner comes these thundering words: “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.” (I Corinthians 3:19).
And just what does God’s corner have to say about the results arthritis sufferers obtain when treated using the “world’s wisdom” methods, as well as the results the medical community obtains with almost all physical problems they deal with other than accidents?
“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.” (Mark 5:25-26)
With all of the miserable failures and results the world’s wisdom corner is obtaining when dealing with disease, would you not think that the “world’s wisdom” corner would at least acknowledge that they don’t have all the answers?
Would they seek to find ways to obtain better results than they in the past or are currently obtaining?
“NO!” – They don’t and they won’t!
In fact, rather than acknowledge failure they belittle and condemn any other way of dealing with physical problems, and sometimes even bring down the law on alternative therapy doctors.
Why won’t those who proclaim this failed world’s wisdom system acknowledge failure?
I believe the apostle John sheds a little light on the answer in John 3:20-21:
“For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought of God.”
Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
Psalm 139:14 says we are “Fearfully and wonderfully made”. Yes, we were created in perfection, in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), and designed by God to never be sick (III John 2).
The Bible also tells us how God created us in Genesis 2:7, and what we were to consume for food in Genesis 1:29 in order to properly nourish the physical body God had created.
Is There A Better Way Than The World’s Way?
If we wish to restore our health, we must turn from the world’s wisdom which has already proven to be such an utter failure and disaster, to “God’s wisdom.”
If there is a better way than the “world’s wisdom” way of dealing with arthritis as well as all other physical problems, where can we learn about it? Once again the Bible provides the answer:
“If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” (James 1:5)
Seeking God’s Wisdom
For the past 35-plus years, I have been seeking God’s wisdom concerning the physical body God has so graciously provided me and sharing what I have learned with anyone who would listen.
Have I learned anything of “God’s wisdom” concerning health these past 35-plus years? You be the judge:
Today, millions around the world are following what I have learned. They have adopted “The Hallelujah Diet”, a diet patterned after God’s original diet plan as given to Adam and Eve in Genesis 1:29 while in the Garden of Eden some 6,000 years ago.
As a result of people returning to this simple diet plan, tens of thousands have written to tell me that they have recovered from over 170 different physical problems without any doctoring, including many who were suffering with arthritis.
They simply turned from the “world’s SAD” diet containing lots of animal fat and protein and refined sugar to a 100% plant-based diet with an abundance of freshly extracted vegetable juices.
World’s Wisdom Way of Treating Arthritis
Using all the world’s wisdom at its disposal – unlimited research dollars, a plethora of drugs, most advanced technologies, expensive x-ray equipment, laboratory testing abilities, an army of doctors trained in universities across the land, a huge and powerful association of doctors (AMA), along with legal protection (army of lawyers) should things go awry – following are the results the “world’s wisdom” has obtained in treating arthritis:
“From 1997 to 2003 the number of Americans with arthritis rose . . . from 36.8 million adults to 46.1 million . . . During the same period the cost of prescription drugs to treat the condition rose from $88 Billion a year to roughly $322 Billion . . . That economic toll threatens to continue to escalate because the number of arthritis sufferers is projected to increase steadily to nearly 67 million by 2030. . .” (National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion in Atlanta)
Let’s See What We Can Learn About Arthritis
There are many kinds of arthritis: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout arthritis, lupus, erythematous and ankylosing spondylitis, and these all produce pain.
One of the primary purposes of pain in the body is to alert that person experiencing the pain to the fact that there is a crisis within.
The body’s expectation is that the person will come to its aid, by assisting the body as it seeks to restore itself to normalcy.
Eliminating that pain (the body’s built in warning signal) with drugs only leads to disaster because drugs do not eliminate the condition nor do they remove the cause of the pain.
Drugs only cover up the symptom (the pain), while introducing extremely toxic substances into the body complicating the recovery.
Dealing with the warning signal (pain) of arthritis with a drug to silence the warning signal would be like putting ear plugs in the ears so that a person could not hear the tornado siren warning when a tornado was imminent.
The ear plugs do not deal with the impending crisis any better than drugs deal with the arthritic problem.
God’s Wisdom Says Every Physical Problem Has A Cause
The Bible tells us: “… the Curse CAUSELESS shall not come.” (Proverbs 26:2)
Any thinking person would have to acknowledge that every physical problem a person experiences could not occur without a CAUSE!
Sadly, and to the shame of the medical community, doctors have not been trained in medical school to seek out the CAUSE of a physical problem, but rather only how to deal exclusively with the symptom!
Putting foods into our beautiful God made bodies that God never intended, as well as a failure to properly exercise the body, is the cause of most physical problems, including arthritis, and the pain associated with it.
Arthritic pain is simply a warning signal coming from within the body, warning of a breakdown inside our body.
Trying to eliminate arthritic pain and swelling through the use of toxic drugs, rather than trying to determine and eliminate the CAUSE, almost always leads to a worsening of the condition.
How so?
When a person fails to eliminate the CAUSE of the problem, and continues to consume the very foods CAUSING the problem, the condition continues to deteriorate no matter how many drugs are administered.
No matter how many pain-killing drugs the doctor prescribes, the condition continues to worsen, often resulting in ever greater pain and debilitation. This increases the amount of drugs prescribed.
This “world’s wisdom” way too often ends up with the arthritis sufferer wheelchair bound.
Arthritis is a matter of CHOICE!
By our food CHOICES, we can CHOOSE to eat in a manner that will prevent arthritis, or in a way that will potentially CAUSE arthritis.
If a person already is experiencing arthritis, that person can CHOOSE to eat foods that will in most instances not only improve the condition, but usually eliminate the problem.
Alternatively, they can CHOOSE to continue to eat in a way that will exacerbate the problem.
The connection between DIET and arthritis is crystal clear, and shows that DIETS very low in saturated fats, low in protein, high in fiber, and cholesterol-free are best for the prevention of arthritis, while being of extreme importance in the elimination of the disease.
These kinds of diets, rich in omega 3 fatty acids, are anti-inflammatory. Diets rich in omega 6 fatty acids create and promote inflammation.
The Choice Is Yours!
Yes, friends, we are “FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE” by our Creator God! – A God who did not design us to be sick, nor to ever have to experience arthritis or any other disease.
But this same God also told us that: “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)
Arthritis, as well as most all other physical problems being experienced today, is the result of CHOICE and not CHANCE.
Furthermore, arthritis is NOT the will of God! (See III John 2).
Here at Hallelujah Acres, we have found that arthritis is almost always a matter of cause and effect – a matter of CHOICE if you will.
Thus, for those of you who suffer with this physical problem, won’t you please CHOOSE to at least consider a change in diet and lifestyle?
The Hallelujah Acres Diet and Lifestyle has already made it possible for hundreds of others suffering with both osteo and rheumatoid arthritis to live a pain-free life!
In Deuteronomy 30:19, God tells us: “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life that both thou and thy seed may live.” And in Hosea 4:6 He says: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
The innate wisdom God programmed into our bodies is always working toward wellness. Our body is constantly trying to keep us alive and well despite our foolishly placing harmful substances into it.
Our body is always trying to correct any imbalances it finds within and sends us warning signals when it can’t fix the problem without our help.
In the case of arthritis, the body cannot fix the problem as long as that person continues to consume foods high in animal fat and protein, thus it signals there is a problem with pain.
Pain is a warning signal being sent by our body to inform us of an internal problem.
Sadly, modern medicine does not deal with physical problems by seeking their CAUSE. Rather, our country’s medical system tries to cover up the symptom with a drug.
The drug does nothing to eliminate the cause, but rather only deals with the symptom, and keeps the sufferer dependent on the medical community and their drugs.
As a result, the problem NEVER goes away, and in the case of arthritis, that person will have to suffer with that debilitating problem and be on drugs for the rest of their life, while their quality of life continues to deteriorate.
Yes, there is a better way than the world’s way, and it’s God’s way!
Conclusion
Next week, the good Lord willing, we will pick up where we left off here and reveal that a cure for most arthritic sufferers has already been found and we will reveal how most people who suffer with arthritis can in most instances improve their condition or eliminate the condition entirely through a simple diet and lifestyle change.
How Is God’s Wisdom Doing?
As to the contest between the world’s wisdom and God’s wisdom who do you feel is winning the contest thus far? Click here to let me know your thoughts.
I feel like the world’s wisdom is being represented by today’s Goliath, but little David (George) using God’s wisdom is going to soon deliver the knockout blow. I trust you will join us next week for the conclusion of this contest.
Great Turnout and A Spiritual Birthday!
May 31st
Great Seminar In Lexington, SC
This past Saturday, I delivered my God’s Way to Ultimate Health seminar at the Agape Senior Center, in Lexington, South Carolina. The seminar was sponsored by the Good Life Café, a raw/vegan restaurant in Lexington that promotes The Hallelujah Diet and carries our products. It was a smashing success!
The seminar was held in the dining room of the Agape Senior Center. They had about 120 chairs set up at the start of the seminar but they had to keep bringing in more and more chairs until finally there was standing room only!
Approximately 200 people were in attendance.
Many of the testimonies were outstanding. One included a gentleman who adopted the Hallelujah Diet three months ago after being scheduled for surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. After just three months after making the diet change, the doctors could no longer find the cancer!
I want to thank everyone from the crew from the Good Life Café who sponsored the event to the staff at the Agape Senior Center for all their hard work in making the seminar such a resounding success.
Rev. Malkmus Celebrates His 54th Spiritual Birthday
A day after my seminar in Lexington, I celebrated my SECOND 54th birthday (I was born again on the evening of May 29, 1957).
Fifty-four years ago, this past Sunday evening, I was in Madison Square Garden in New York City where I had gone to hear Rev. Billy Graham speak at his now-famous 1957 New York Crusade Rally.
Though I was 23 years old at the time and been brought up in church, it was on that night I heard for the first time that I was a sinner and in need of a Saviour. When Billy Graham gave the invitation for those who wanted to receive Jesus Christ as Saviour, I was one of hundreds who responded.
There, kneeling on the concrete floor next to a folding metal chair, I asked Jesus to come into my heart, forgive me for my sin, and save me. AND HE DID!
These past 54 years have been exciting and rewarding journey, and Jesus has been with me all the way. I’m so glad Jesus has promised “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” (Hebrews 13:5) He has kept his promise!
Diabetes – A Natural Approach
May 31st
The Bible tells us: “… the curse CAUSELESS shall not come.” (Proverbs 26:2)
Any thinking person would have to acknowledge that every physical problem a person experiences could not occur without a CAUSE! Sadly, doctors have not been trained in medical school to seek out the CAUSE of a physical problem, but rather how to deal exclusively with the “SYMPTOM!”
Let me share for a moment today’s medical approach to dealing with just three physical problems people are experiencing. A little reflection will reveal that how these three physical problems are dealt with is the same symptomatic approach almost every other physical problem is dealt with.
Headache – If a person is suffering with a headache, does the doctor seek the “cause” of the headache, eliminate that cause, and thus rid the person of current and future headaches? Or rather does the doctor prescribe a pain killer to eliminate the symptom of the headache while making no effort to determine the cause? With this approach does the headache come back? Almost always – requiring more drug use.
High Blood Pressure – If a person is suffering from high blood pressure, does the doctor seek the “cause” of the high blood pressure, eliminate the cause, and watch the high blood pressure simply go away and stay away? Or rather does the doctor prescribe a high-blood pressure medication while making no effort to find the cause? Does this approach eliminate the high blood pressure? No. The patient is told they will have to remain on high blood pressure medication for the rest of their life.
Diabetes Type 2 – If a person is suffering with elevated blood sugar levels, does the doctor seek out the “cause” of these high blood sugar readings, eliminate the cause, and see blood sugar numbers return to normal naturally and remain normal? Or rather does the doctor deal with the “symptom” of high blood sugar by prescribing a drug or insulin? This often leads to further physical breakdown as the diabetic condition continues to deteriorate.
Does A Symptomatic Approach Eliminate The Problem?
Do drugs ever cure the problem? In the case of headaches, after the drug, headaches will continue to occur, possibly with increasing intensity and frequency. In the case of high blood pressure, if they go off the drug, blood pressure readings will rise. And in the case of diabetes Type 2, if they go off the drug or insulin, readings will rise.
Almost every physical problem for which a person visits a doctor is dealt with using a symptomatic approach. “What’s your symptom? – Here’s a drug!” Sadly, a symptomatic approach has never (nor it will it ever) eliminate the physical problem the person is dealing with because treating a symptom never eliminates the “cause”.
With that as a little introduction, let’s zero in on our subject: “Diabetes – A Natural Approach.”
Are We Winning The War On Diabetes?
In spite of over $12 billion being spent annually on finding a cure for diabetes, the cost of treating diabetes continues to rise – currently approximately $218 billion annually and counting.
Despite all the research, over 2 million new people are diagnosed with diabetes each year. Currently, approximately 30 million children and adults – over 8%” of the population – have diabetes… and these numbers are rising rapidly.
The American Diabetic Association is constantly asking for donations to support diabetic research that they say will hopefully one day lead to a cure. Is it not a fair question to ask: “After so many years of spending over $12 billion annually in search of a cure, why do they tell us that a cure for diabetes has not as yet been found?”
Has A Cure For Type 2 Diabetes Already Been Found?
Are you aware that the cause and cure for Type 2 diabetes has already been found? It can be found right underneath the nose of every Type 2 diabetic. Diabetes is caused by placing things into the body that God never intended along with failing to exercise.
If a cure for diabetes has already been found, and been proven to work in thousands of diabetics, why has the medical community and the American Diabetic Association not informed the citizens of this cure? The answer is a very simple one: Follow the money trail!
As shared above, in the year 2007 alone, the treatment of diabetes brought $218 billion into the medical community coffers. One out of every 10 health care dollars in the United States and 1 out of every 4 Medicare dollars is spent on the care and treatment of people with diabetes, while multiple billions are spent on research annually.
If a cure for diabetes was acknowledged as having been found and shared with the American people, the medical community would lose that $218 billion in income annually from the treatment of diabetes. Those in the research community would lose multiple billions in research grants and the American Diabetic Association would cease to have a purpose for its very existence. Diabetes is big business!
Type 2 Diabetes Is Preventable and Almost Always Reversible
Obviously, the symptomatic approach to diabetes does not eliminate the cause. Drugs and insulin only temporarily deal with the high blood sugar condition without getting rid of the diabetes. This is obvious as people have to return to the doctor again and again for evaluation and treatment as the condition deteriorates.
What if there was a way to get rid of diabetes permanently and never have need of insulin ever again or have a concern for eyesight loss or amputation?
The key to getting rid of the “symptom” of diabetes is to eliminate the “cause” of diabetes. That is the Bible solution! Eliminate the “cause”: “…So the Curse CAUSELESS shall not come.” The biblical key to removing physical problems is the elimination of the “cause” of physical problems.
The Cause of Type 2 Diabetes
Our physical body is comprised of some 100 trillion living cells. Each cell is surrounded by a membrane. In order to maintain health, these membranes must maintain the ability to regulate the gates and channels into and out of the cell.
A healthy cell membrane allows vital nutrients and fuel to pass into the cell while ushering toxins and waste products out of the cell. This maintains a healthy balance inside and outside the cell so that it can produce good energy and function as designed by God.
In order to construct healthy cell membranes the cells need the nutrients and omega 3 fatty acids found in plant source foods. These foods keep the insulin-glucose pathways into the cell functioning normally so that insulin can easily slip just the right amount of sugar into the cell to satisfy its energy needs.
Sadly, the Standard American Diet (SAD) does not provide the nutrients and healthy fats necessary to maintain healthy cell membranes. With an over abundance of unhealthy animal and hydrogenated fats, the SAD slowly clogs the cell membranes, blocking the nutrients from entering the cell and the wastes from exiting the cell.
As these membranes fill with unhealthy fats, the blood sugars needed by the cells are hindered from entering the cell. As a result, blood sugar levels begin to climb as sugar backs up into the blood. This also causes blood insulin levels to rise, which is a hormonal response to the starving cell’s need of sugar.
Billions of research dollars are spent annually to find a way to unclog cell membranes while multiple billions more are spent on drugs designed to force the sugar past the blockage. Is there a better solution? Absolutely!
A Plant-Based Diet Reverses Diabetes
For almost 20 years, hundreds have written to Hallelujah Acres to share (or in seminars publicly proclaim) that after they adopted The Hallelujah Diet, their Type 2 diabetes simply disappeared… in as little as 4 days or up to 4 months.
One of our Health Ministers reported that after being insulin dependent for over 50 years, he was off insulin and his blood sugar readings were normal within two months of making the diet and lifestyle change.
How A Plant-Based Diet Reverses Diabetes
The cause of Type 2 diabetes is not insufficient insulin. In fact, the average Type 2 diabetic is already producing more insulin than the non-diabetic. Nor is Type 2 diabetes caused by the consumption of sugar! Sugar aggravates an already existing diabetic problem, but sugar is not the cause of the problem.
As we said earlier, the cause of Type 2 diabetes is almost always the blocking action of unhealthy fats. These fats prevent the insulin from reaching the insulin receptors within the cell. This causes blood sugar levels to rise, and in an attempt to lower this rise, doctors prescribe additional insulin.
This additional insulin (derived from pigs by the way) doesn’t solve the blood sugar problem, but only exacerbates the problem.
Inconceivably, the diabetic is usually then placed on a high protein diet, containing lots of animal fats, which further complicate the problem by adding more blocking fat!
The Solution
The solution is simple: Stop the intake of all animal source foods, along with all products containing trans-fats, and switch to a 100% plant-based diet! In addition to the diet change, begin exercising daily.
As the person stops placing all that fat into their body and starts a primarily raw, 100% plant-based diet, the fat that was blocking the insulin begins to fall off the cells. Almost like magic, within a few days to a few months, blood sugar levels for most Type 2 diabetics will begin to normalize and soon there will be no more need for additional insulin.
Hallelujah!
See the testimonies section of our website to read the amazing testimonies from individuals who recovered from diabetes after making a diet and lifestyle change necessary to overcome their diabetic condition.
Caution: If a person continues to take previous amounts of insulin, following a diet change and beginning an exercise program can cause blood sugar levels to drop too low. It is important that insulin intake be adjusted downward as blood sugar levels drop. It is best if a diabetic pursues a diet change that is monitored by a health care professional.
