Where Does Hallelujah Acres Stand on Vaccinations?
Aug 13th
We received the following letters containing questions this past week regarding vaccinations.
“I want to know your opinion on vaccinations in babies and which vaccinations should be given?
“My husband and I have been praying about what we should do. We lost our daughter two years ago to what the doctors said was a genetic condition and we just wanted to do everything in our power to make the best decisions for our new son. We want our decision to be based on what God leads us to do and not on what the doctors want us to do.
“Last thing… I was on the Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle when I conceived our son and he is free of the genetic condition that took the life of our daughter. I am not sure it was all the Hallelujah Diet that made the difference, but I believe God allowed me to learn about Hallelujah Acres before my son was conceived so that I could have the best chance of making healthy choices so that I could have a healthy son.
“Rev. Malkmus, I just thought this testimony would bring a smile to your face.”
Amy H.
Amy, first, I’m deeply sorry for the loss of your first child. I can’t imagine how devastating it must be. I know that God has been with you to lift you through it. There is no other way people can get through times like this. Your effort to make the best possible health choices for your new baby is an inspiration to me.
We are not in favor of giving vaccinations to babies, children, or anyone else. We believe the potential negative side-effects far outweigh any possible claimed benefits. The National Vaccine Information Center is a good resource for more information on this subject. www.nvic.org
I would also recommend you get a copy of the book Pregnancy, Children and the Hallelujah Diet, written by Olin Idol, ND, CNC. It is extremely informative and answers many questions that parents ask about their babies and children.
Thank you for sharing your questions and experience after adopting the Hallelujah Acres Diet and Lifestyle.
“My family and I are traveling to Ecuador in the fall and we are uncertain about whether or not we should get the immunizations that are recommended by the CDC, which include Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Typhoid.
“We will be staying with friends in Quito and expect to eat our meals in their home or in quality restaurants – we will not be trekking through the jungle.
“I would appreciate any advice you or your staff may be able to provide with regard to this. If you do not recommend these vaccinations, what do you recommend to lower our risks?
“Thank you!”
Kathy M.
Hi Kathy. We cannot tell anyone what they should or should not do regarding this matter. I can only share what I would do for myself.
For me personally, there is enough risk associated with vaccinations that I would not subject myself to them. If recommended I would refuse them. If required I would not make the trip.
If traveling to areas with potential risk, I would begin about two to three weeks prior to my trip and throughout the trip and for a couple weeks after my return doing the following.
- Use Silver Biotics at the rate of 1 teaspoon twice daily as a preventative.
- Take our Professional Strength Probiotics one capsule twice daily to build up my friendly bacteria in the colon to support my immune system.
- When drinking water, I would apply 4 drops of Silver Biotics in 8-ounces of water, let stand 2-minutes prior to drinking.
- I would also avoid all raw foods during the trip and take a teaspoon of BarleyMax at least three times daily.
The purpose of the supplements is to increase the immune system to withstand airplane rides, different foods, airborne viruses, etc.
Also, please note that this is one of the rare times I will recommend not eating raw vegetables. This recommendation is due to the greater risk of food-borne diseases such as Salmonella in high-risk areas.
Enjoy your trip!

Long-term Health and Healing!
Aug 11th
Daily, these letters are found in my mailbox, coming from across America and around the world, sharing how the ministry of Hallelujah Acres and the programs we teach have helped them recover from all manner of physical and psychological problems.
Some of these letters are from those who just want to say how much they appreciate what we are doing. I appreciate them all. Thank you for writing!
Dear Rev. Malkmus, after viewing your video presentation ‘How to Eliminate Sickness’ in 1999, I adopted The Hallelujah Diet, and have been able to manage my Multiple Sclerosis (MS) without drugs ever since.
In 2003 I had recovered sufficiently from my MS to be able to hike the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Tennessee with no problems, and at the front of the pack! Today, 11 years after adopting The Hallelujah Diet I am still doing well and still able to remain active. Thanks George and Hallelujah Acres.
Matt G.
Thank you, Rev. Malkmus for your zealous crusade to bring God’s truth to His people through your ministry! I greatly admire your strength of conviction to stand for and follow the truth against the many voices that try to silence you.
I was first introduced to the plant-based diet and natural healing in the 80’s by Natural Hygiene. That particular group did not prosper and grow as Hallelujah Acres has done. I believe that is a testimony to the glory of God because you follow the teaching of God’s Word. May God bless you with many more years!

Hello Reverend, I am being treated for reoccurring ovarian cancer, originally diagnosed in 2002, when I did chemo, radiation and multiple surgeries. Nine years later, in April 2011 during a routine oncology check-up my CA125 cancer marker was found to be elevated to 119 (normal range is 0-35).
A biopsy confirmed it was cancer and the doctor started me once again on chemo. After the first course of chemo a biopsy revealed my CA125 had increased to 400. After my third course of chemo, my CA125 had increased to 1800 and a cat scan showed the cancer had now spread to the liver. In side-by-side scans, all of this spread has occurred AFTER more chemotherapy had been given me.
Obviously, the chemo has caused the spread of my cancer and I feel the desperate need to detox my system and get as much of this chemo out of me as possible. Rev. Malkmus, you were recommended to me by a friend. I desperately need your help in detoxing my body and rebuilding my immune system.
Paula L.
Dear Brother-in-the-Lord, George; I want to thank you and the Lord for your latest encouragement through your article Health Insurance – Dangerous to Your Health.
This Health Tip gave me the determination to start today with The Hallelujah Recovery Diet so that I can behold God’s marvelous self-healing heal my still lingering sciatica in my right leg.
This is the only lingering physical problem left after I have already witnessed some incredible healing results from other physical problems by following The Hallelujah Diet. Daily freshly made vegetable juices made it possible for a badly sprained ankle to recover sufficiently in 10 days to be able to go downhill skiing, and recover from a cat bite in just 5 days.
Thank you for your family’s faithfulness to proclaiming Genesis 1:29 and showing the entire world God’s Word is true! If only Christians would follow God’s Word concerning their physical as they do in following God’s Word concerning the spiritual.

Rev. Malkmus, I just wanted to say ‘thank you’ for all the help your website has given me. I am on day 35 of the 60 Days to Reclaim Your Health internet challenge, while my husband is on day 21.
I am thrilled to say that in just 35 days I have already lost 15 pounds and feel so much better and happier with my life.
I appreciate so much all the research and articles found on your website that has helped me to understand how my body works and depends on the nutrition I provide it. It’s just a miracle I have lived as long as I have eating the world’s SAD diet.
Now when I see others eating meat and sugar I cringe and tell my husband they just don’t understand how much they are abusing and harming their bodies. When my friends tell me how they have this or that physical problem I now tell them they need to try The Hallelujah Diet if they want to be well.

If National Health Care Is Not The Answer, What Is?
Aug 9th
In last week’s Health Tip, titled “Health Insurance – Dangerous to Your Health”, we talked about cancer and what makes it possible for cancer to develop in the first place – which we learned to be a poorly functioning immune system.
We also learned that having health insurance does not in any way prevent a person from developing cancer or any other illness, but actually contributes to a person developing these problems as well as hindering recovery from them.
BUT YOU ASK:
“How can health insurance contribute to a person developing cancer or any other illness, or hinder recovery?”
THE ANSWER:
When the cost of medical treatment is paid for by someone other than the individual experiencing the illness, it makes it financially possible for that individual to run to the doctor or emergency room at the first sign of ill health.
Because they have health insurance to pay the bill, rather than stopping and asking themselves, “what have I done wrong that is causing these symptoms of ill health”, or “what is my body trying to tell me”, and then seeking to correct the underlying cause of their ill health, they run to the doctor.
By running to the doctor, they are relinquishing responsibility for their health, just the way society has programmed them to do. Then they are given a prescription (drug) designed to subdue the symptom, but not cure the problem.
Drugs never cure the physical problem! Worse yet, they turn off the body’s cry for help by shutting off the body’s alarm signal.
By taking a drug that shuts off the body’s warning signal, they are ignoring the underlying problem that initiated the symptom.
The Drugs Of Modern Medicine
This approach to a physical problem (an approach incapable of ever curing the problem) makes a person dependent on drugs to suppress the symptom of the problem for the rest of their life. Here’s proof that drugs do not heal physical and psychological problems:
- If they were to ever go off the drug, the symptom would return. That is why when a person learns how dangerous to their health a certain drug is, and goes to a doctor requesting to be taken off the drug, the doctor will usually tell them they will have to remain on that drug for the rest of their life.
- The drugging of the body contributes to a never ending downward spiral of ill health until a worse symptom appears, when the same procedure is repeated – ever more drugs being prescribed without the problem being cured. Some people are on dozens of different drugs, yet never see the problem go away or their health restored.
- All drugs are poisons and toxic when placed into the body. Some are extremely toxic, and all have negative side-effects. Both prescribed and over-the-counter drugs have the potential of weakening an already impaired immune system; the very system God provided to protect us from germs, viruses, bacteria, and yes, cancer.
Once a person is diagnosed with cancer, health insurance makes it financially possible for a person to pursue the medical modalities of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery – modalities that have the potential of destroying the immune system. In fact, chemotherapy can actually cause cancer in a non-cancerous person!
These medical modalities are extremely expensive, and beyond the financial ability of the average citizen to pay for. Were it not for this ability to neglect one’s responsibility for their own health by turning the care (such as it is) over to modern medicine, they would be forced to seek advice to support their body’s own healing efforts.
But with health insurance, paid for collectively by others who pay for their health insurance, they can afford these medical modalities that further weaken or destroy their already weakened immune system.
And by the way, when government provides health insurance for those who cannot afford it (as it does in National Health Care), it is not government who pays for it. Rather the monies are taken by government in the form of taxes from those who pay taxes. Government has no monies to spend on health care (or anything else for that matter) but those they first take from taxpaying citizens.
In effect, those who pay taxes are forced to pay the cost of health care not only for themselves, but also for those who cannot afford to pay for it. It is projected that by 2020, half of all those who receive health insurance will have it paid for by taxpaying citizens.
These medical modalities further weaken the immune systems of the poor and in many instances create cancer and other physical breakdowns. This traps the poor in a health destroying medical system, a system that is not designed to heal anyone of anything.
Following is what we are currently paying for health care in America and where costs are projected to be in less than 10 years:
Current Health Costs Projected To Double
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — The U.S. government will foot the bill for half of all health care costs in the United States by 2020, according to a government report released Thursday. That’s up from 44% just two years ago, and reflects both the rising cost of health care and the fact that millions more people will have access to it under health reform, said the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Total health care spending is expected to nearly double from $2.6 trillion in 2010 to $4.6 trillion in 2020. Health care spending per capita is forecast to increase from $8,327 in 2010, to $13,708 in 2020 the report said.http://money.cnn.com/2011/07/28/news/economy/healthcare_spending_forecast/index.htm
If National Health Care Is Not The Answer, What Is?
Most people do not realize that a person without health insurance (and unable to afford these medical modalities), has a much greater chance of recovering from cancer as well as most other physical problems than the person with Health Insurance! Why? Because not having Health Insurance forces a person to take responsibility for their own health.
Those with all the money in the world (Hollywood stars for example), able to afford all the medical community has to offer, fare no better in their recovery than the poorest person with health insurance.
Why?
Because modern medicine (and most Americans) fails to realize or acknowledge, that“The Only Answer to Cancer (and most other physical problems) is – A Strong Immune System.” An immune system capable of carrying out innate self-healing as God designed!
Regarding government controlled health care, teaching the American people prevention should be the direction government should take with tax dollars – not treating symptoms which can never restore health.
Have you ever noticed that once a person has received a round of chemotherapy, the doctors will stop the administration of chemotherapy for a period of time? They do this to allow the immune system to recover sufficiently — only to knock it down again with another round! This is ludicrous!
What Does God Have To Say About This Approach?
No wonder the Bible says “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God,”(Corinthians 3:19) and “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6)
Do you realize that modern medicine, with its trillions of dollars is not obtaining any better results dealing with physical problems than the physicians did in the time of Jesus over 2,000 years ago?
“And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered man things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse.” (Mark 5:25-26)
Notice my friend that this woman “had SPENT ALL THAT SHE HAD, and was NOTHING BETTER, but rather GREW WORSE.”
The only solution to America’s health problem is to teach people how, through proper diet and lifestyle, to take control of, and be responsible for their own health.
Possessing health insurance has never, nor will it ever bring health to anyone!
Sadly, health insurance is a huge political issue because the people are clamoring for government to be responsible for their physical problems.
This is where understanding the purpose of the immune system comes into play. A weakened immune system allows cancer (and most other physical breakdowns) to develop, while a strengthened immune system can prevent cancer (and most other physical problems) from ever developing.
A Different Approach
The problem with the current medical approach to cancer (and most other physical problems) is that it does not deal with the root cause of the problem. It only deals with symptoms. Cancer is not caused by a deficiency in chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. Cancer is caused by a weakened immune system that allows the cancer to develop and grow.
Rather than fighting the cancer with these toxic and immune-suppressing, immune-destroying modalities, we should pay attention to the alarm! A cancer diagnosis is an alarm message our body is sending us. The message is to strengthen our immune system so that the body’s self-healing abilities can be strengthened and re-enforced.
When we take control of our own health by a changed diet and lifestyle that will rebuild our ineffectual immune system, our bodies can usually restore our health without having to do anything else. Cancer (as well as most other physical problems) only manifests as a result of a weakened and poorly functioning immune system.
Sadly, in spite of the huge number of dollars Americans have provided the medical and scientific communities for many years now, mortality rates from cancer have not decreased in over 50 years. In fact, they have increased!
I was in a church recently that had a prayer request sheet handed out in Sunday School, and on it was a long column under the heading “cancer”, listing all the people in that church who had and were dealing with cancer.
Just listen to the prayer requests in your own church each week. It’s proof that health insurance isn’t winning the war on cancer.
Chemotherapy further weakens an already weakened immune system, allowing cancer to spread and become more aggressive. They call this spreading of cancer “metastasis.” Radiation destroys not only cancer cells but good cells. This also contributes to the spread of cancer.
Surgery, while in certain circumstances can be helpful, often leads to an explosion of cancer cells because the surgery can release cancer cells that would have remained locked up within the tumor! Cancer surgery often involves the removal of lymph nodes, which are a part of the immune system, further weakening an already weak immune system.
God Designed Our Bodies For Health
God designed our bodies for health, not for sickness and cancer. When the body is nourished the way God intended and as He prescribes in Genesis 1:29, the immune system remains strong and protective, and the body remains healthy.
When a weakened immune system is strengthened with nutrients found only in Genesis 1:29 foods and especially in the concentrated nutrients found in raw vegetable juices, the body will always seek to restore health by rebuilding the immune system.
Mankind has survived very well for some 6,000 years without health insurance.
My grandparents never had health insurance, never went to the doctor, never took drugs, and yet they remained healthy right up until their death at a ripe old age.
Without health insurance, they both outlived my mother (who had health insurance) by nearly 20 years. Is there not a lesson to be learned here?
God designed our bodies to survive, repair, regenerate, and to restore itself to wellness when the natural laws He established are observed. Cancer, as well as most every other physical problem man experiences, is caused by our failure to observe these natural laws that God has established.
Editor’s Note
I had fully intended on sharing how one can rebuild their immune system in this Health Tip, but got carried away with the thought of how dangerous it is to possess health insurance!
If health insurance is not the answer to cancer —and a rebuilt immune system is — we begin to understand why it is imperative we each make sure we have a strong immune system. If we don’t, we will experience ill health and throw our body wide open for a potential cancer or other disease.
Next week I will, I promise (Lord willing of course and if the creeks don’t rise too high), share how to rebuild and maintain a strong immune system.
Fantastic Hallelujah Weekend at Hallelujah Acres
Aug 8th
Who would ever have thought that right in the middle of the summer, with the extremely high temperatures being experienced in most of the country, people would journey to Hallelujah Acres from across the country and around the world for a Hallelujah Weekend? Our auditorium was full and extra seats had to be added to accommodate the crowd.
They were here from the surrounding states of South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia which don’t require that much travel. But they were also here from Washington State, California, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Connecticut, Maryland, and Delaware, as well as the countries of Canada, Germany, Russia, and Azerbaijan.
But the most exciting part of each first Saturday of the Month Seminar are the testimonies people share of the physical improvements they have experienced since adopting the Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle.
And this past Saturday was no exception as over 30 people shared how various physical problems had left them – from cancers to diabetes GONE – to improved eyesight, increased energy, and weight losses in excess of 100 pounds. And these are just a few of the dozens of physical improvements folks gave testimony of.
Rhonda’s Friday Evening Culinary Class had 40 in attendance and Paul and Ann’s “Where Do We Go from Here” class had 43. Some were here at their doctor’s recommendation, while several VIP’s from a large Christian Television ministry were here expressing interest in making the Hallelujah Acres ministry more visible through their ministry.
Our next Hallelujah Weekend is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, September 2nd and 3rd. This is the long Labor Day weekend and we are expecting another exciting time here at Hallelujah Acres. Because it is a long weekend, it provides folks time to travel greater distances to attend.
So why don’t you mark September 2 and 3 on your calendar and begin making plans to attend? And do invite a friend or loved one to join you.
Praying For Wisdom, Not Healing
Aug 8th
For nearly 20 years I have dedicated my life to trying to improve the health of God’s people around the world, not for financial gain, but that God’s people might have physical bodies fit for the Master’s use!
My reward is the flood of testimonies I receive each day — and share with you in these weekly Health Tips.
Rev. Malkmus, people don’t understand the natural laws God has established. Prayer and healing are a complex matter, but God is going to do what He is going to do in the final analysis. I approach a prayer for healing without expecting God to heal me.
Rather I pray for wisdom in how to deal with the problem by asking God to show me through people, books, and other means how I can take control of my own health and cooperate in my own healing.
Many people were praying for healing from my cancer but I personally took out two insurance policies which were: ‘Trust in God and trust God to reveal the method.’
I took each step in my recovery prayerfully, and then changed my ways by surrendering to the information God was providing me in how to become an active participant in my healing. During this journey God led me to Hallelujah Acres and The Hallelujah Diet.
I took to heart the information coming from Hallelujah Acres, adopted the Hallelujah Recovery Diet, and now I am doing great.
God is the ultimate healer, but we must abide by His laws, including His dietary laws if we want positive results.
On the Hallelujah Diet I continue to recover and my cancer markers are now well within the normal range. Praise and thanksgiving to Him! I am also thankful for all you Rev. Malkmus, and all that the Hallelujah Acres team has done to point people and especially me, to His Word and to a diet and lifestyle that works!
Roger W.
Rev. Malkmus, thank you for your devoted inspiration, your divine insight and your dedicated mission to educating people in the area of health. Your wisdom on the subject is truly appreciated for its simplicity and value.

In December of 2008 I was diagnosed with primary peritoneal cancer [a rare cancer that develops in the peritoneum, a thin, delicate sheet that lines the inside wall of the abdomen and covers the uterus and extends over the bladder and rectum].
At the time of diagnosis I was in stage-4. I was very sick and went through chemotherapy and major abdominal surgery (incision so large it required 67 staples to close me up).
During my treatments I researched everything I could get my hands on about alternative healing and so much of it pointed to nutrition. I had heard about Hallelujah Acres before my cancer diagnosis and read your book with pen and highlighter in hand.
In fact, I told my oncologist I was going to start the Hallelujah Acres vegan diet to help in my recovery, but he told me absolutely not – that I needed to eat as much protein (meat and dairy) as possible.
I did what he said but the week after receiving chemo went to the Hallelujah Acres Lifestyle Center in Lake Lure, North Carolina and immersed myself in The Hallelujah Diet.
I was fortunate that the chemo and surgery along with much prayer did eliminate the cancer and I believed that The Hallelujah Diet would help me keep it away.
For one year I followed The Hallelujah Diet almost 100%. Then in July 2010 I told my oncologist that I wanted to experiment and add dairy and eggs back into my diet. I asked him if he would monitor my cancer markers so that I could see if my cancer markers went back up after adding these animal products. He agreed.
So I started consuming dairy and eggs and occasionally meat. When I went for my check-up three months later, you guessed it, the cancer was back and it was extremely aggressive.
I agreed to surgery once again because it was so aggressive. Between the time they did the CT scan and the time they did the surgery 20 days later, I had developed five additional nodules.
I realize Dr. Malkmus that you don’t believe in having chemo but I made the very difficult decision to have it since this new cancer was so aggressive. BUT I told my oncologist I was going to eat vegan during and after the treatment and I did. He said ‘He would be very interested to see what happened to me.’
I believe he has been very impressed with the results of my return to a vegan diet.
The cancer is now GONE, according to both blood work and CT scan. My CA level is lower than it was last time when I was in remission. My energy level has been higher.
Was it coincidence that my cancer returned when I went off the diet and added animal products? I don’t think so!
Needless to say I am back on The Hallelujah Diet and nothing, nor any doctor, is every going to entice me to go off it again. I am telling everyone about The Hallelujah Diet and hope to attend Health Minister training at Hallelujah Acres in Shelby in November.
And by-the-way, in addition to being cancer free, I am also 90 pounds lighter and my blood pressure has improved so much that the doctor has cut my medication in half.
I also no longer need to take insulin for my diabetes.
Thank you for the many educational opportunities and products Hallelujah Acres provides for those who want to improve their health. The information and videos you have on your website were very helpful in re-programming and motivating me as to what I needed to do and need to keep on doing if I wanted to remain in good health.
