NASCAR Driver Tells of His Recovery from Terminal Melanoma Cancer on Hallelujah Diet
Mar 1st
In his newly released book titled 5% CHANCE: Winning the Cancer Race – Ten Years Cancer Free, NASCAR Driver Jerrod Sessler writes:
“It is often hard to really believe that just a few years ago I was facing a very serious cancer diagnosis. Nikki and I were doing great. We were growing in our marriage, our business was flourishing, and we felt like our lives were having a positive impact in our community.
“Sometime during 1997, however, I noticed a mole on my back; it was itchy at times, discolored and irregularly shaped. I visited the doctor for a racing physical and he said not to worry about it, because it didn’t seem like anything to be concerned about.
“In late 1999, my mom, who was a nurse, grew tired of watching me back up against walls to scratch the mole. She scheduled an appointment with a dermatologist. One look and the mole was removed. Tissue samples that were sent for analysis revealed malignant melanoma cancer, and I quickly found myself at a specialized cancer care clinic with very little understanding of my options for healing.
“At the clinic, they did a sentinel node biopsy—a test to determine where the cancer was exactly. They needed to know if it had metastasized or spread throughout my body.
“At age 29, sitting in the doctor’s office with a lead ball in my stomach, I listened as I was diagnosed with advanced metastasized melanoma, a serious skin cancer that had already spread throughout my body by the lymph system. The doctors gave me a 5% CHANCE of living past my thirties with no treatment, and up to a 20% chance of doing so with medical treatment. Neither of these options held a lot of promise. . . .”
In the Forward to the book, Rev. George Malkmus, Founder of Hallelujah Acres writes:
“Jerrod Sessler has been a devoted personal friend, as well as a friend of Hallelujah Acres for nearly a decade. We both share a passion not only for The Hallelujah Diet but also for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
“Jerrod and his wife, Nikki, have been on a journey of sharing the good news of the gospel of salvation and the message of health and healing that can only be achieved by nourishing the body according to the principles found in the Bible in Genesis 1:29.
“In the year 1999, Jerrod’s dreams were crushed when he was diagnosed with stage four metastasized melanoma cancer. He was given little hope of surviving beyond a few more years with the best that medicine had to offer. Because the doctors had so little to offer him, Jerrod turned to the Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle, to which he had been exposed a few years earlier.
“The Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle worked so well for Jerrod the doctors could no longer find any evidence of the cancer they said would take his life. Since the recovery, he has verbally shared his story with others in an effort to encourage them. Now you have the opportunity of reading about the remarkable journey God has lead him through as he shares his battles and victories in ‘5% CHANCE’ . . . .
“Jerrod and Nikki became Hallelujah Acres Health Ministers in 2002 in order to be better equipped to share the message of health with others. They have sponsored seminars in different areas near their home in Seattle, Washington. They have taught classes and developed organic food-buying programs as they seek to support and encourage those they minister to. You, too, will be educated, challenged, and encouraged as you read about their personal journey to the excellent health they are experiencing today.”
This is an incredible book through which you will laugh and cry and then rejoice as you read of a young man’s willingness to step out on faith into uncharted waters. Refusing chemotherapy which was all the medical community could offer, Jerrod chose to change what he ate, trusting a change in diet to restore his health. Well, a changed diet worked so well the doctor’s soon could find no evidence of cancer.
This is a book you will not only want to read, but a book you will want to share with others, especially those who have been diagnosed with cancer and are looking for hope beyond what the doctors have to offer.
A limited number of copies of this 204-page paperback book, 5% CHANCE, are available from the Hallelujah Acres Store or by phone call 800.915.9355.
Birthday Greetings & Notes of Thanks
Feb 22nd
The week of February 8th was a big week here at Hallelujah Acres as we celebrated Hallelujah Acres 18th anniversary and this editor’s 76th birthday. Also, on February 3rd we reached the halfway mark with our 60 Days to a Hallelujah Waistline challenge. Over 7,000 people from around the world have accepted the challenge, and the reports of weight loss are continuing to pour in. I’ll share a few of the letters received this past week below:
Beloved Brother George Malkmus, Please accept my warmest greetings. This is to wish you a very Happy 76th Birthday full of joy and fun. May the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob bless you abundantly, and that you will celebrate many more Happy Birthdays in full health and joy with those who are with you and those who love you. God bless you so much. I cannot fail to wish also my beloved sister Rhonda a merry day as she cares and celebrates with you. Your Hallelujah family wishes that every minute of this memorable day will be enjoyable and pleasing. Thank you so much for the service you wholeheartedly render to the Hallelujah Acres fraternity around the world so that we can live a healthy life. We love you! God bless you! Be blessed!
Evace Kabahukya, Hallelujah Acres Trained Health Minister, Kenya, Africa
One of your Health Ministers sent me a flyer for your seminar in Hudson Falls, New York this past September. My wife dragged me to the seminar because I had been feeling so bad for so long. I attended your seminar out of curiosity, telling her that if going on the diet meant me becoming a vegan, there was no way I was going to quit my steak and pizza, bacon, eggs, etc. Well I did start the Hallelujah Diet shortly after attending your seminar at the end of September and five months later had lost 50 pounds and have never felt better in my life. I am now in the process of being weaned off a bunch of medications.
Because I was visibly in such poor health and failing fast, my success has made a great impression on many people, and especially those people in my congregation.
P.S. I have a pastor friend who is a severe diabetic who has had a number of hospitalizations due to being in such poor health, and each trip he makes to the hospital gets him that much closer to death. They serve a small struggling Bible church where income is limited. Have you ever considered those in need that can’t afford to pay for the products they so desperately need to help them restore wellness, especially those in full-time Christian ministry.
Pastor Don P., New York State
EDITORS NOTE: Here at Hallelujah Acres we are constantly helping people in need, especially with BarleyMax, but our resources are limited. Does anyone reading this have any ideas as to how we might be better able to help, especially preachers, missionaries, and those in full-time ministry, whose health is failing? Please leave your comments on this article.
Here’s my latest progress report: In the first 34 days since starting the 60-Day Challenge to a Hallelujah Waistline, I have lost 34 pounds and 6 inches from around my belly. My wife Tresa has lost 16 pounds and three inches from her waist. We walk two miles briskly each day and have been doing the FIT10 daily for two weeks. Between the change in diet and the exercise, we look better, feel better, and now have tons of energy. Your participants from Hilton Head Island are happy you started this program and we encourage you to keep up the good work.
Pastor Scott & Tresa B., Hilton Head, South Carolina
On September 30, 2009, my husband who is 64 years old was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer, as well as rectal cancer, that had metastasized to his liver. Doctors told us he had less than six months to live if he refused chemotherapy. In addition to this cancer diagnosis, my husband had four by-passes in 2007 and was placed on medication for high blood pressure and diabetes.
My husband turned down the chemotherapy the doctors wanted to give him, stopped taking his medications, and started the Recovery Hallelujah Diet plan. He also began walking 30 minutes each day.
As of today, just four months since making the diet change, my husband’s blood pressure is now in normal range (115/77) without medication, and the red mole behind his ear has shrunk. The blood in his stools has stopped, though he still is experiencing some distress in his abdomen.
My husband and I always lift you and Hallelujah Acres up to our Lord and we thank you so very much for your ministry.
Ben & Linsa L., Springfield, Missouri
EDITORS PRAYER: Dear God, please help Hallelujah Acres reach ever more of your people before they reach the stage that Ben and so many other of your servants are finding themselves in today! Amen
Letters from those on 60 Days to a Hallelujah Waistline
Feb 13th
Last week we reached the half-way mark with our “60 Days to a Hallelujah Waistline” challenge. Nearly 7,000 people from around the worldwide have accepted the challenge, and the reports of weight loss are pouring in.
Just among the 28 employees here at Hallelujah Acres International Headquarters who have accepted the 60-Day challenge, they already have a combined weight loss of 228 pounds. Then in church this past Sunday; Lewis, one of the members who is on the 60-day challenge told me he had already lost 25 pounds and had on a suit he said he hadn’t been able to wear in over 10 years.
And then there are the testimonies coming in from around the world by email:
“Since beginning the 60-day Challenge 21 days ago, I have lost 20-pounds and my clothes are fitting so much better. Also my enlarged prostate is getting better and my cholesterol readings are already lower. I love the Hallelujah Diet and the way I am feeling. I have already come a long way in achieving that Hallelujah Waistline, but I am not stopping now. Sincerely, your friend and brother in Christ.” James L.
“Last August I went on a sugar free diet and dropped my weight from 182 to 160, but stopped the sugar free diet between Thanksgiving and the New Year. Then I started the 60-day Challenge to a Hallelujah Waistline and have in just the first few weeks lost an additional four pounds. I feel great on The Hallelujah Diet, but I’m getting so much flack from my husband. He’s not on the diet and has been laid off from work and said my BarleyMax needs to go. He also told me my food shouldn’t be organic anymore. I will continue on as best I can, but he can’t get me to eat anything that comes from an animal. That’s all there is to it. I’ll do the best I can and when the BarleyMax runs out I’ll just keep hanging in there the best I can. God bless you!” Brenda, Michigan
EDITOR’S NOTE: Brenda has thus far lost a total of 26-pounds and James 21-pounds. A conventional bowling ball weighs 16 pounds and each has already lost more than the weight of a bowling ball. Those who bowl know how heavy a bowling ball is, and can you imagine some people are carrying around two, three, four and even more bowling balls in their body. No wonder they don’t feel good, are developing diabetes, experiencing high blood pressure, and some need knee replacements.
Over 60% of the American population is overweight, with an ever increasing percentage of the population is becoming obese. The problem is caused by wrong diet and lack of exercise. We at Hallelujah Acres are here to be a help and blessing, and it is not too late to begin the 60-Day challenge to a Hallelujah Waistline. You can learn more about the 60-Day challenge at www.hacres.com/60days.
“I am so excited to learn about the Hallelujah Diet and want to adopt the diet not only for an overweight problem, but also for numerous physical problems. I am 36 years old and for the past ten years have been on painkillers for back pain. My doctor just recently took me off the painkillers and put me on morphine. When I was 28 years old, I had a total hip replacement and now I need to get both knees replaced as well as my left shoulder. I am also unable to go the bathroom to eliminate but once a week or sometimes two weeks. I don’t have a job and have been trying to find work, but I don’t know how I can work when I am in bed most of the time because of pain and being constantly sleepy and nauseas. Please help me!” Lesa B.
EDITOR’S NOTE: O…God, please help this woman! Far too often, I receive letters like the one above from Lesa. How do you help someone whose body has already deteriorated to such a level? Thankfully, with the miraculous self-healing body God has entrusted to each of us, when we provide the conditions conducive to healing, the body will do all it possibly can to heal itself even when the situation looks hopeless! Hopefully her email will be a wakeup call to all parents reading this, to make sure the food you are providing your children is food that will properly nourish their bodies, so that your child doesn’t end up like Lesa at age 28 with a hip replacement, and at age 36 almost an invalid. Only proper nourishment and lots of exercise, beginning in early childhood, can prevent this type of result.

Early Testimonies from the 60-Day Challenge
Feb 2nd
With over 6,500 men and women from around the world participating in our 60 Days to a Hallelujah Waistline, I thought it might be of interest to our subscribers to read a few of the testimonies being received from those who are participating in the program:
Ray L. of Chapel Hill, NC writes:
In the two months since starting the diet I have lost 40 pounds! … I had been taking cholesterol lowering drugs for six years and now my numbers are normal without drugs. My triglyceride numbers had also been elevated. I had a checkup in December and my triglyceride numbers were below normal for the first time.
Read Ray’s full weight-loss story here.
Cindy W. of Asheboro, NC also shared her story with us. She writes:
Following the Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle plan I have lost five pounds already! But the BEST part is, my Blood Pressure has gone from 160/95 on medication… to 116/80 off meds!
You can read Cindy’s whole story here.
While on our recent speaking tour in Florida, in every seminar we conducted, people were coming up to us and showing us their 60-Day wrist bands, proof they were serious about taking the 60-Day challenge, and sharing the incredible improvements in health and pounds lost they had experienced since adopting The Hallelujah Acres Diet and Lifestyle. The average weight loss being reported after the first two weeks was between five and fifteen pounds.
This 60-Day challenge to a Hallelujah Waistline has introduced more people and caused more people to adopt The Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle than anything we have ever done in the 18 years since we began Hallelujah Acres on February 12, 1992.
