Colon Cancer Gone and 47 Lbs Lost
Sep 27th
“I was diagnosed with colon cancer in February, 2009.
“My wife, Cindy, and I decided not to follow any of the medical treatments. We started doing research on alternative methods of treatment.
“We had been introduced to the Hallelujah Acres Recovery Diet several years ago and decided to use this diet as the treatment for my colon cancer. The problem was that we didn’t know how to get started.
“It was at this time we received a card in the mail that said Hallelujah Acres Health Ministers Bev and Chet Cook were having a 3-day seminar in Freeport, Illinois and we decided to attend. It was through the seminar we learned the basics of what we needed to do.
“Because we learned that juicing was going to be a very large part of the answer we purchased a Green Star Juicer.
“I have now been on the Hallelujah Acres Recovery Diet for 18 months. Within the first few weeks the symptoms stopped but over the next several months there were occasional reminders that the cancer was still there. About a year after I began the diet all symptoms had stopped completely.
“In addition, during that first year on the diet I stopped having problems with my heart.
“I weighed 195 pounds when the cancer was diagnosed and within the first year of making the diet change I dropped 40 pounds and then my weight continued to decrease. I now weigh 148 pounds, for a total weight loss of 47 pounds, and my weight has now been stable for the past 3 months.
“I have waited until now to say much of anything because I wanted to make sure that the cancer was truly over before I started telling very many people about my healing. Though I did not accept any medical modalities for my cancer I did go back to the doctor to have blood work to check the cancer markers. When the cancer markers started dropping I started being more confident in being able to tell people that the diet was working.
“It is to God that we give the glory. He has given us a body that, if we treat it the way He tells us to in Genesis 1:29, will heal itself just as God designed it to do.
“After seeing the changes the Hallelujah Diet had brought about in my life, Cindy and I both took our training to become Hallelujah Acres Health Ministers in March 2010. We want to be able to tell as many as we can about the fantastic healing that can come about if we will just treat our bodies as God intended them to be treated.”

Weight Loss Success & Heartbreaking Letters
Sep 13th
Your letters of testimony of what the Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle have done for you or your loved ones are such an encouragement to this editor. Thank you to all who have written this past week! I love hearing from our readers so please keep those letters coming.
“I have been on the Hallelujah Diet for approximately ten months and have noticed improvement in a wide range of health problems – from heart problems, high cholesterol, arthritis pains (including swollen joints), and weight.
“Without even trying I lost over 25 pounds in the first few months of adopting the diet.
“At first I didn’t stick with the diet fully, but now am more committed as I see the incredible improvements in my health mounting.
“It appears my sinuses have been healed and the nose bleeds I used to have regularly have almost disappeared.
“I am from Londonberry in Northern Ireland and at present am visiting with my daughter in Toronto, Canada.
“I have just been to a food preparation class with Judy Fleming at Hallelujah Acres’ Canadian headquarters in Toronto and enjoyed it so much. The food was delicious and I am looking forward to going back for the 3.5 day retreat with Judy next week.
“When I get back to Northern Ireland I am looking forward to sharing what I have learned with my church.”
Sharron A., Londonberry, Northern Ireland
“Dear Dr. Malkmus, I recently attended the Hallelujah Acres Health Minister training in Irvine, California. I found this training so enlightening.
“Since adopting the Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle I have lost 30 pounds in just a little over three months.
“I am writing to say ‘thank you’ for stepping out by faith to share this Health Message. Now I am looking forward to helping others learn about God’s Way to Ultimate Health.
“I am making plans to attend the ‘Women’s Retreat’ there at Hallelujah Acres in Shelby in October.
“May God continue to bless you and your family in a tremendous way.”

How I love to read letters of improved health like those shared above. Unfortunately, I also receive many letters that are heartbreaking.
“I received a call from my sister regarding her granddaughter who was diagnosed with leukemia yesterday. This little girl will not be two years old until next month. My sister tells me that the doctors are going to do chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. This is such a tragedy for the whole family.
“Can Hallelujah Acres offer a better solution than chemo and a bone marrow transplant that I can pass on to my sister?”
Carol M.
“I have a friend that has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. It is the most aggressive kind. Do you have any testimonials of people being cured of this tumor by adopting the Hallelujah Diet? She was diagnosed eight months ago and has already had surgery, 49 rounds of radiation, and currently is taking chemo.
“The doctors are offering her little hope. We are looking for that glimmer of hope.
“Months ago I showed her the Hallelujah Acres website and asked her and her family to consider the Hallelujah Acres diet and Lifestyle, but they haven’t as yet given it any consideration.”
Cindy G.
“I ask that you pray for me that I can have the strength to overcome this overwhelming burden of alcohol in my life.
“In the past four years I have lost my husband to cancer, my brother to an accidental overdose, and my best friend who was a paraplegic has died. Recently I was forced to sell my home and declare bankruptcy. I am at the lowest I’ve ever been. One daughter lives in Maine and will not even speak to me. The other daughter lives about a mile away and I am being estranged from her and my granddaughters.
“I love my family so much and need prayer to overcome this horrible addiction to alcohol. Please pray for me. I ‘stumbled’ across your Hallelujah Acres website just yesterday and feel that the Lord led me to you.”

Passing on the Health Benefits
Aug 2nd
I have been on The Hallelujah Acres Diet and Lifestyle for going on three years now and as a result of making this diet and lifestyle change have lost 40 pounds in weight, been able to go off all my medications, am sleeping like a baby, my skin tags have fallen off, and my skin is now soft and beautiful.
Before making the diet change my triglycerides and cholesterol readings were both off the charts, but not long after making the diet and lifestyle change both readings were perfectly normal.
We met Bev and Chet Cook in Congerville, Illinois last evening and my husband and I are attending their three-day seminar. My husband, who is a pastor, and has been juicing carrots every morning with me, eating better and walking an hour a day with me, took lots of notes last evening and is so excited about going back tonight.
We also have eleven children on the Hallelujah Diet. I believe God will use us to encourage many to correct bad lifestyles. I am so excited. My daughter-in-law has already started the Hallelujah Diet and her daughter loves her carrot juice.
Today I spent two hours explaining the diet to a couple in our church whose two year old daughter has been to the emergency room for constipation and diaper rash. They want me to pick them up a Green Star Juicer tonight at the seminar.
Thank you Dr. Malkmus for all you and Hallelujah Acres are doing to improve the health of God’s people. I have wanted to take the Health Minister Training for years and now that my husband is on board it looks like we may both be taking Health Minister Training in September in Chicago.

I am currently at Day #14 following your 60 Days to Reclaim Your Health program on the internet and enjoying it so much. Thank you for making this wonderful program available at no cost. Thus far I have been able to overcome my addiction to nicotine, caffeine, alcohol and animal products. Keep up the good work. I hope to visit Hallelujah Acres in the very near future.

75 Pounds Lost and Walking Again
Jul 12th
I was stopped by a man who was shopping in our Health Food Store the other day. He had a 25 lb. bag of carrots for juicing under his arm and he excitedly asked if he could share something with me.
He said that he had attended my first-Saturday-of-the-month seminar here at Hallelujah Acres in June 2009.
At that time he was 49 years old and not able to walk without the use of a walker. The doctors had told him that the only solution was to have double knee replacements. He said that he was also on medications for high blood pressure and other problems when he attended the seminar.
Well, I wish you could have been there with me to see the glow on this young man’s face!
He excitedly went on to tell me that after attending the seminar he immediately adopted The Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle. As a result, there he was standing before me at age 50 without the walker.
He told me that after making the diet change one year prior, the pain in his knees slowly went away. Soon he was able to walk again without the aid of the walker. He currently walks three miles each day without any knee pain whatsoever.
He also shared that after making the diet change his blood pressure slowly returned to normal. He no longer requires medications to keep his blood pressure in normal range and is also off all the other prescription medications he had been taking prior to making the diet change.
Finally, he shared that in the past year on The Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle he had lost 75 pounds in weight.
“Hallelujah” was the word he used to describe what he had experienced in his physical body this past year as a result of making a simple diet and Lifestyle change.
Testimony of Dr. J.C. House
May 17th
In last week’s Health Tip we shared what Evangelist and Doctor of Divinity J. C. House had written in the forward to Rev. Malkmus’ book God’s Way to Ultimate Health, first published in 1995.
In this issue we will share what Dr. House had to say in the Winter/Spring issue of Hallelujah Acres paper publication Back to the Garden (now known as Health News) in 1996. It featured Evangelist J. C. House’s testimony of recovery from throat cancer after making the diet change. That testimony follows:
Dr. J. C. House was ordained to the Gospel Ministry in 1964 and has been busy in full-time Christian service since that time. While at his last Pastorate at Calvary Baptist Church in Holland, Michigan, the church averaged over 600 in attendance each week, 92 Missionaries and/or Missionary projects were supported each month and a nationwide radio ministry was instituted.
In 1988 Dr. House resigned as Pastor and began a full-time ministry of Evangelism. Each week he conducts meetings in different Churches across the country, sometimes conducting two meeting per week. He consistently averages 55 meetings per year.
Dr. House notes, “Good health is essential in maintaining this type of rigorous schedule and I credit the teaching of Dr. George Malkmus and his Hallelujah Diet as being most important in good health.” Summarizing his health history and the changes he has seen since beginning the Hallelujah Diet, Dr. House writes:
In 1986 while still serving as Pastor, my weight reached 226 pounds. I had been troubled with Chronic Sinus for 35 years. I had the horrible headaches, the scratchy eyes, the drainage, the resulting sore throat, etc. I was being treated for Chronic Prostatitis, which kept me in pain and prevented me from ever getting a full night’s sleep. I had constant stomach problems that complicated everything else.
When I entered full-time Evangelism, the problems complicated. In October 1989 I was diagnosed with throat cancer. Two unsuccessful surgeries and 37 radiation treatments followed.
The radiation treatments evidently lowered my immune system. Drainage from the sinus created severe laryngitis and I was unable to preach. I found myself with colds all the time and at the change of each season it seemed like a worse case of the flu. I was missing meetings due to health problems.
I was taking a prescription medication for sinus, a prescription medication for Prostatitis and 1600 milligrams of pain medication for Prostatitis, and 1600 milligrams of pain medication each day. I was also receiving cortisone injections I my shoulder for bursitis and arthritis.
Each day became more difficult as I tried to maintain my schedule. In May of 1994 I was in a meeting with Dr. Charles Williams at Central Baptist Church in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Dr. George Malkmus had just recently been with them in a Health Seminar and had left behind an issue of Back to the Garden. Each time I read it, I would voice all my objections as to why this could never work and how recovering your good health must be more complicated than just changing your diet. But the more I read the more I knew in my heart that he was right.
I called Dr. Malkmus and made an appointment to meet with him. I drove 2,200 miles to talk with him and receive his counsel concerning my condition. He listened patiently and then said very kindly, ‘You don’t have to be sick.’ Then he explained to me what was necessary in order to be well. I began a new way of life that day in the midst of sickness.
- I eliminated all animal products from my diet, all meats, all dairy products . . . milk, eggs, cheese, etc., along with eliminating caffeine, carbonated drinks, sugar, salt and white flour. I began a diet of 80% raw fruits and vegetables.
- I began to take 3 tablespoons of organic Barley powder each day. This is probably the most important thing I do each day.
- I began to drink freshly extracted carrot juice each day. I drink 16 to 24 ounces of juice daily, using only California carrots.
- I began to use distilled water for drinking and cooking.
- I began a daily exercise program of walking.
- I try to get adequate rest each night.
- I assumed a positive attitude about my life.
That was in May 1994. This is being written 18 months later in October 1995. Several wonderful things have transpired in this past year and a half:
- I have taken no medication of any kind in the 17 months, not even an aspirin. My prescriptions were running over $200.00 each month prior to this.
- All symptoms of all illnesses have disappeared and I am healthier and feel better than I have in many years. I have no known health problems at 61 years of age. No cancer, no sinus problems, no prostatitis problems, no laryngitis, no headaches, no bursitis, etc. Simply put, I am well!
- I now weigh 172 pounds at 6’1” height, a 54-pound loss from my high weight.
And all I did was follow George’s advice and change my diet. I recommend it to anyone. Try it – all you have to lose is your sickness.
Dr. J.C. House
Sixteen Years Later…
Dr. House is a trained Back to the Garden Health Minister who shares this ministry and the Hallelujah Diet in his evangelist meetings as he travels around the world. Dr. House is now 77 years old, and as a result of adopting The Hallelujah Acres Diet and Lifestyle 16 years ago, he is still able to carry on a vigorous evangelistic meeting schedule.
Sometimes folks ask me if this Hallelujah Acres Diet and Lifestyle will sustain a person long term. You will be able to learn the answer to that question by visiting his website and seeing his vigorous schedule for yourself.
Colorectal Cancer Symptoms Disappear and Loses 35 Pounds
Apr 12th
Our search led us to the Hallelujah Acres Diet and Lifestyle. Not long after I stopped putting into my body the things that had caused my cancer (all animal products & refined sugar) and started on the entire Hallelujah Acres protocol, including an abundance of vegetable juices and BarleyMax, I could feel and see major improvements in my health.
I have now been symptom free for many months and have more energy than I have had for many years.
A real added benefit to making the diet and lifestyle change is that I have lost 35 pounds since starting the diet.
My own experience this past year has given me firsthand knowledge as to how to deal with major physical problems and I enjoy sharing with others what I have learned and experienced. The fact that I have gone through it myself gives me great credibility to share God’s health message with others. Now I want to come to Health Minister training at Hallelujah Acres so that I can be helpful in sharing God’s health message with others.
