JACK LALANNE DIES AT AGE 96
What Does There have been three men who have greatly inspired and encouraged me in my quest to learn how to live a long and healthy life on planet Earth so that I could better maintain a body that was fit for the Masters use. The names of these three men are Norman W. Walker, Paul C. Bragg, and Jack LaLanne. I call these three men my Health Heroes because each of them maintained a strong and healthy body until nearly the century mark. Too many of Gods people fail to properly take care of their bodily temple and thus never fulfill the ministry God has called them to. One of the reasons Norman W. Walker, Paul C. Bragg, and Jack LaLanne are on my Health Heroes list is not only because they talked a good talk, but that they walked their talk. In this Health Tip I want to begin sharing a little about what each of these Health Heroes of mine talked and then I will show you how their walk backed up their talk with exceptional health and long lives. Jack LaLanne Dies at Age 96 On January 25, 2011, USA TODAY had these blazing headlines along with a huge picture of Jack LaLanne flexing his muscles on page 5D: Jack LaLanne 1914-2011 The larger-than-life figure who reshaped our figures LaLanne helped launch Americas obsession with physical fitness. The article then went on to report: Leaders of the fitness world are remembering Jack LaLanne, who died Sunday at age 96, as a pioneer who set an example all his life that inspired people of all ages. LaLanne, widely considered the founding father of the fitness movement in the United States, preached strength training and healthy eating long before it was fashionable.
Jack LaLanne Sickly at Age 15 In California, over 80 years ago, Jack LaLannes mother dragged her then 15-year-old son to a lecture by health crusading nutritionist Paul C. Bragg. They arrived late and had to sit on the stage close to Bragg in front of some 3,000 people. That night changed Jack LaLannes life forever. My mother forced me to go, LaLanne recalls. I had dropped out of school for almost a year. I was a sick shut-in! I wouldnt go out and see people. I had pimples and boils and I was wearing glasses. I was thin, wore a back brace and was so weak I couldnt participate in sports. I didnt want anyone to see me. During the lecture, Jack heard Paul Bragg tell the audience that they could reverse their physical problems by eating right and living a healthy lifestyle. These words struck a needed chord in the young, unhealthy LaLanne. I was weak and sick. I used to have blinding headaches every day. I couldnt stand pain. I wanted to get out of my body. Jack recalls how life seemed so hopeless, but Dr. Bragg told us that we could be physically born again. After the lecture, LaLanne went to Braggs dressing room and talked for an hour with him. This was the start of a wonderful, lifelong friendship. Dr. Bragg Asked Me. Jack recalls Dr. Bragg asked me, What do you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner? I told him, cakes, pies and ice cream? He said, Jack, you are a walking garbage can. That night I got down on my knees, by the side of my bed and I prayed. I didnt say, God, make me a Mr. America. Rather I said Please give me the will power and intestinal fortitude to refrain from eating the wrong, lifeless, dead foods when the urge comes over me. God please give me the strength to exercise when I dont feel like it. At the end of two weeks, he said, he felt like an entirely different human being. He went from being the butt of jokes to captain of his high school football team and took up bodybuilding. Jacks Life After His Encounter with Paul Bragg There hasnt been a donut in Jacks life since Bragg told him, The best part of a donut is the hole. In the 70 years since Jack opened his first gym in downtown Oakland, Jack has spread his gospel of fitness through nutrition and exercise, in lectures, a 34-year television show and a variety of extraordinary physical feats. Following are some of Jacks accomplishments: 1,033 push-ups in 23 minutes, and swimming from Alcatraz to San Francisco in freezing ocean water while handcuffed and shackled. On his 70th birthday, he celebrated with a mile long swim, during which he towed 70 rowboats filled with 70 people. LaLanne pioneered health gyms and has a number of nutritional and exercise products on the market all of which made him a wealthy man. Many have seen Jack LaLanne demonstrating and promoting his Jack LaLanne juicer. But Jack LaLanne, the muscle mogul, with the 45-inch chest and the 28-inch waist, says he cares nothing for material rewards. I never thought about making money in my life. This is a capitalistic country and if you do a good job, you will be compensated. 2

In the future I want to open a chain of health food restaurants, write more books and do some more television. I love inspiring people to be healthy, happy, and stronger. LaLanne was grateful that fitness and nutrition had become No. 1 in growth, with sales in the billions. He believed the emphasis on exercise and a healthy natural diet would create a stronger, better America. With healthier citizens, we will unburden society from sickness and reduce the medical bills that are draining peoples savings and causing grief. I talked about the dangers of white flour and sugar over 60 years ago and people thought I was some kind of a fool. Now its every doctor saying salt, white flour, sugar are killers, killers, killers, he said. Its exciting whats happening. This is going to be the salvation of America, you watch. The incidences of drugs, alcoholism and crime on our streets will decrease in the next few years. Young people turn to drugs because they are eating too much sugar and refined, dead foods, and the lack of exercise. How do you think kids get started on this deadly drug habit? It all starts with excessive consumption of white sugar, candy and soft drinks. When you use too much sugar it destroys the B-complex vitamins so that you cant make wise decisions, your energys down and youre apprehensive and doubtful about your life. These are the hard facts. If you stop eating white sugar products and get on live, organic, natural foods, you will feel better immediately. Look at me, if Dr. Bragg hadnt changed my life at age 15, I would have been dead at age 17. LaLannes personal health regimen included health foods, abundant use of fresh vegetable juices, plus vitamin and mineral supplements and a big two-and-one-half-hour workout each day. He would start exercising at 5:00 a.m. because its a challenge and its tougher that way. Getting out of a warm bed at 5:00 a.m. to go down to my gym in the morning. I could be lazy and sleep late! But when Im through with my two-and-one-half hours of morning exercise I think, Jack, congratulations you did it again! And I still have the willpower to do that everything else is easy by comparison. Jack LaLanne was the father of two and happily married to Elaine. Right up until the end of his life he still had enthusiasm and super energy for helping the world to be healthy, happy, and at peace. Jack LaLannes Earthly Life Ended on January 23, 2011 The USA TODAY article gave us a glimpse of his passing with these words: He had a fine singing voice and would often burst into song around Elaine, his wife of 51 years, singing an old standard from World War 1. On Sunday, it was Elaine who sang to him: If I were the only girl in the world and you were the only boy. Nothing else would matter in the world today. We could go on loving in the same old way. I sang it to him, Elaine told USA TODAY on Monday, and he smiled, and it wasnt that much longer before he passed away. LaLanne died at his home in Morro Bay, California, with his family around him.

EDITORS CONCLUDING THOUGHTS As I said at the start of this article, Jack LaLanne is one of my Health Heroes, and one I have tried to emulate in my life these past 35 years. It is my hope that after reading Jacks testimony above, you will make him your Health Hero as well, and that you will desire to emulate his diet and lifestyle as I have. Share this article with your children! For the first 15 years of his life, Jack ate the worlds diet, and you have read the consequences he suffered as a result. But at age 15, when challenged by Dr. Bragg to change his diet and start exercising, he took up the challenge and almost immediately started to see his sickly and weak young body become healthy and strong. What Jack LaLanne has been preaching for over 70 years is what this editor has been preaching for the past 35 years. It is also what Hallelujah Acres is all about. The only difference is that I add Jesus to the equation. By adding Jesus, you not only have the best in this world, but a guaranteed bright and healthy future in heaven. If you my friend are not on The Hallelujah Diet, if you would but stop putting the worlds SAD diet into your body and start eating only those foods that are healthy, and start exercising, then you too can most likely experience the miracle in your body that both Jack LaLanne and this editor have experienced. Thirty-five years ago, at age 42, this editor had a weak and sickly body in decline and failing him. After I was told it's colon cancer, it was Lester Roloff who told me it was my rotten diet that had caused the problem. He then went on to encourage me to stop eating the foods that had caused my problem, start eating healthy foods, and begin exercising. I, like Jack LaLanne, listened to these words of wisdom, changed my diet and started exercising. Within weeks my body started to respond as the rectal bleeding stopped and within a year my cancer was gone. That was 35 years ago in January 2011. Today, at age 77, I am not only free of cancer, but have a muscular body with rock-hard abs, a 41-inch chest, and 31/32-inch waist, and can do almost anything physically I could do as a teenager. My body is strong, my endurance is great, and I thank God for Evangelist Lester Roloff introducing me to a healthy diet and lifestyle 35 years ago. (Today, my chest and waist measurements do not quite measure up to Jack LaLannes 48-inch chest and 28-inch waist, but Im a work in progress, working on improving these measurements most every day. Jack had almost a 30-year head start, he started at age 15 to improve his health and I didnt get started until age 42 but Im sure glad I got started when I did, because if I hadnt, only God knows where I would be.) May Jack LaLanne be an inspiration to you to change your diet and start exercising! And please dont say that you are too old or sickly to begin. No matter how old or sickly you are, in most instances a change in diet and lifestyle can start you on a road that can change your life, or possibly even save it. (Major portions of Jack LaLanne's life story in this Health Tip were originally published here.)

POLL REVEALS SPECTACULAR RESULTS
Have you answered our poll? Recently, we have been conducting a poll on the Health Tip asking this question: SINCE ADOPTING THE HALLELUJAH DIET, I HAVE Lost Weight 67% (235 votes) Increased Energy 67% (233 votes) Never Felt Better 54% (188 votes) Decreased Pain 32% (111 votes) Lowered Blood Pressure 26% (89 votes) Controlled Diabetes 11% (39 votes) Beat Cancer 9% (32 votes) These are the poll results from the 349 people who have thus far responded to the poll. Since the number of votes adds up to more than 349, that means some of the respondents experienced more than one improvement in their health as a result of adopting The Hallelujah Diet. It would be interesting, if others who promote a particular diet would offer the same poll to their fans: Atkins; South Beach; Mediterranean; Mercola; Makers; Macrobiotic; Zone; Blood Type; Jenny Craig, etc. Offering such a poll would quickly reveal which plan provides the greatest benefits for a variety of health issues. At a later time I would like to repeat this poll by adding additional physical problems people have seen improve after adopting The Hallelujah Diet. For instance, hundreds have written to report that their arthritis simply disappeared after making the diet change, headaches gone, eyesight improved, etc. (If you are on The Hallelujah Diet and have not as yet responded to these poll questions, it is not too late to do so!) Isnt it time you considered making some changes?
SPECIAL TRAINING MARCH 7-8 WITH REV. MALKMUS
Monday and Tuesday, March 7-8, is your opportunity to spend two memorable days with the Founder of Hallelujah Acres the man God has used to bring health and healing to multitudes of Christians across America and around the world for the past 20 years. During this 2-Day Workshop, using Rev. Malkmus most recent books, The Hallelujah Diet, and The Hallelujah Diet Workbook, you will learn how the Bible supports a pure plantbased diet to build and support a healthy, slim, energized body. He will also reveal why the Standard American Diet (consisting of animal flesh and dairy, along with refined sugar and refined flour) consumed by most Christians today cannot help but produce physical breakdown and mental decline. It is the primary cause for most of the prayer requests for sickness in our churches each week. Using scientific documentation, Biblical teachings and scriptures, as well as personal experiences and the testimonies of multitudes of others, Rev. Malkmus will also show how you too, can experience the degree of health he is personally experiencing at age 77. You wont soon forget seeing his energy and physical abilities as he not only teaches the importance of physical exercise, but demonstrates it in person. If there is a human example of The energizer bunny, many believe that Rev. Malkmus is it. Cost is $125 per person and includes the two books, plus carrot juice, unlimited BarleyMax and Tuesday lunch.

MAILBAG: TESTIMONIES FROM THE YOUNG AND YOUNG-AT-HEART
No matter the source (testimonies shared at my seminars, email, or snail mail) it is the testimonies that have been shared through the years that have had the greatest effect upon those looking for relief from their physical problems. These testimonies, I believe, are also the reason Hallelujah Acres has grown so phenomenally through the years. Please keep those testimonies coming and remember I personally read every one of them and share as many as I can. Dear Rev. Malkmus, a year before adopting The Hallelujah Diet, the pain in my hip was so bad I couldnt walk without experiencing excruciating pain. Then in September 2005 I was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. That was when I learned about the Hallelujah Diet and adopted it because I did not want to go the traditional medical route with my cancer. But I never dreamed the diet I adapted to help my body rid itself of cancer would not only help me recover from cancer but fix my hip problem as well. Following that diet change all pain left my body and has remained gone for the past five plus years. I just turned 70 years old on January 31, 2011 and I now fall asleep within minutes of hitting the pillow and today I feel great. On this same Hallelujah Diet my wife overcame lupus after suffering with it for 15 years. We are now both Hallelujah Acres trained Health Ministers and tell countless people about what this diet has done for us and what it can do for them. Sadly very few accept the great news we share with them. They think there is so much to give up going the Hallelujah way. I tell them it boils down to this: Would you rather continue eating the Standard American Diet and keep your diseases and pain or would you prefer delicious and healthy food, and experience excellent health? Rev. Malkmus, these people that choose not to adopt The Hallelujah Diet do not realize what they are missing. Health Minister Larry J. Thank you for being so committed to sharing the truth about diet and lifestyle. How I wish I could have been educated 30 years ago with what you teach. After learning about The Hallelujah Diet, both my husband and I chose to take Hallelujah Acres' internet 60 Days to a Hallelujah Waistline program. During the 60-day challenge we both lost 20 pounds. Our goal is now to implement more of The Hallelujah Diet because although we have come a long way in improving our diet we are not yet 100% vegans. We cant believe the benefits we have already experienced from the changes we have made and cant wait to see what additional benefits we will experience as we go 100% on the diet. Denise S., Fairfield, California Dear Rev. George, thank God for your health ministry as it is a blessing to this generation. You are doing a great job. Please, could you answer this question: At what age can a baby take BarleyMax, Beet Max, carrot juice, and cucumber juice? Also, what quantity of these can a baby be given at a time and how often?" Kemi

EDITOR RESPONDS: Babies should be nourished exclusively with mothers breast milk for at least the first six months of life. After six months, other foods can slowly be introduced. An excellent starting food would be the BarleyMax, starting with 1/8 of a teaspoon in four ounces of distilled water a couple of times a day. Then we could move up to two to four ounces of vegetable juices a couple of times a day while continuing the BarleyMax. I would avoid the use of beets or BeetMax until the child is several years of age. Mashed banana and/or mashed avocado would be excellent starter foods following the introduction of the BarleyMax and other juices. Trust this is helpful.

THE HALLELUJAH HEALTH TIP ISSUE #693: NORMAN W. WALKER, JUICING PIONEER
March 1, 2011 In this issue of the Hallelujah Health Tip: Norman W. Walker, Juicing Pioneer Fluoride: Friend or Foe Huge Weekend at Hallelujah Acres: March 4-5 Calendar Recipe: George's Gorgeous Green Smoothie Mailbag: A New Life at 90-Years-Young Weekly digest of articles found at healthtip.hacres.com.
NORMAN W. WALKER, JUICING PIONEER
In recent Health Tips, I have shared the life stories of men who have greatly inspired and encouraged me in my quest to learn how to live a long and healthy life on planet earth so that I could better maintain a body fit for the Masters use. Jack LaLanne and Paul C. Bragg are two of my three "Health Heroes," named as such because each of them, though earlier in life were seriously ill, changed their diet and lifestyle, restored their health, and went on to maintain a strong and healthy body until nearly the Century Mark. Jack LaLanne lived 96 years, beginning his journey into health as a very sickly 15-year-old after hearing Paul Bragg lecture on physical fitness. Jack not only found health, but then went on to accomplish all kinds of remarkable physical feats for the next 80 years. Paul Bragg, the very person who inspired Jack LaLanne, was crippled by tuberculosis at age 16. After changing his diet and lifestyle, he produced a body of super health. He died following a drowning incident. In this Health Tip we are going to examine the life of Norman W. Walker, my third Health Hero who was born on January 4, 1886 and died June 6, 1985 at the age 99 years and 5 months. Dr. Norman Walkers First Half Century of Life Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., Ph.D., was born in Genoa, Liguria, Italy to Robert Walker, a Baptist Minister from Scotland. The family later moved to England where in October 1910, on the S.S. Lusitania, arrived in New York City, and on November 22, 1918 was granted U. S. citizenship. In his early 50s, Dr. Walker became seriously ill. Rather than going the traditional medical route for his sickness, he turned to Dr. H. William Baum, a chiropractor and physical therapist. At the suggestion of Dr. Baum, Dr. Walker turned his back on the Standard American Diet (SAD) of his day, and changed his diet to raw vegetarian.
(EDITORS NOTE: In 1978, while on staff as a lecturer and head gardener at the Shangri-La Health Resort in Bonita Springs, Florida, I personally met and had an extended talk with Dr. Baum. He shared with me a lot of information about Dr. Walker and gave me what was then a recent photograph of both he and Dr. Walker. Dr. Baum personally autographed the photo on the back side with the words: To George Malkmus, Compliments Dr. H. W. Baum. (see below) Also on the back of the picture were the words: Dr. Norman Walker, Natal Day January 28, 1867. Since we know for sure Dr. Walker died on June 6, 1985, that date of birth would have made Dr. Walker 119 years old at his death. This 1867 date of birth conflicts with more recent research which places his birth date as January 4, 1886, which would have made him 99 years and 5 months at death. No matter his actual age at death, Dr. Walker lived a very long life.)
Dr. Walkers Last Half Century of Life Following his conversion to a raw vegetarian diet, for nearly a half-century, Norman W. Walker went on to prove through research and personal experience that well being and long life can go hand-in-hand. Modern-day nutritionists and medical researchers are just now discovering some of the truths Dr. Walker knew and expounded upon. Dr. Walker himself became living proof that a longer, healthier life may be achieved, starting even in later life, through proper diet, mental soundness, and intelligent body care. He left behind his research and unique contributions to health for all to read in his numerous writings. (His books are still available for all to read and are carried by Hallelujah Acres.) Dr. Walker was notable for at least three reasons: (1) He was author of at least eight books published from 1937 to 1978. (2) He was the inventor of an important and innovative commercial juicer that is still manufactured today. (3) He was a pioneer in the raw foods, juicing, and vegetarian movements, each of which has grown in size and scope over the years. For several years, Dr. Walker ran a health ranch in Arizona. Eventually, he gave up the ranch to devote his later years entirely to research and writing. Dr. Walkers Views on Nutrition Dr. Walker advocated a diet based solely on raw and fresh foods like vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts. He considered cooked or baked foods dead and therefore unhealthful, saying that while such food can, and does, 2

sustain life in the human system, it does so at the expense of progressively degenerating health, energy, and vitality. As a strict vegan, he did not recommend the eating of meat, dairy or dairy products (with the exception of raw goat milk), fish or eggs. His diet suggestions also avoided such staple foods as breads, pasta, [white] rice and [refined] sugar. Dr. Walker devoted large sections of many of his books to the description of the different organs of the human body, explaining how the digestive system and the various glands work. He considered a healthy colon key to ones health, and estimated that 80% of all disease begins in the colon. He wrote: Every organ, gland and cell in the body is affected by the condition of the colon. According to Walker, the number one affliction underlying almost every ailment is constipation. In other words, it is the primary cause of nearly every disturbance of the human system. This is because the blood vessels lining the colon collect nutrients missed by the small intestine. In his book, Pure and Simple Natural Weight Control, Dr. Walker explained, If the feces in the colon have putrefied and fermented, any toxic elements present in it would pass into the bloodstream. What would otherwise be nutritional instead generates toxemia, a condition in which the blood contains poisonous products. Pimples can be an indication of the presence of toxemia. Walker maintained that the Standard American Diet (SAD) causes the colon to be filled with toxins that strain the eliminative channels and ultimately, the immune system. Dr. Walker believed that dairy products had an especially deleterious effect on human health. He testified to the disappearance of many ailments upon the exclusion of dairy products. He explained that pathogenic organisms find an ideal breeding ground in the excess mucus that dairy products generate. He cited the following diseases as being aggravated or caused by mucus conditions in which dairy products are the major offenders: undulant fever, colds, flu, bronchial troubles, tuberculosis, asthma, hay fever, sinus trouble, pneumonia, and certain types of arthritis. Dr. Walker in 1910 established the Norwalk Laboratory of Nutritional Chemistry and Scientific Research in New York and later discovered the therapeutic value of fresh vegetable juices. He discovered carrot juice. He also developed the Triturator Juicer, known today as The Norwalk Press Juicer, the granddaddy of juicers. The present juicing craze is directly attributable to the incredible dedication of this great man. Thousands of people credit Dr. Walkers live vegetable juice therapy for healing them of incurable diseases, including Jay Kordich, known as the Juiceman, who popularized juicing in the United States with extensive television advertising in the 1990s. When Jay Kordich had cancer, he met and was tremendously inspired by Dr. Walker. After healing himself of cancer through the raw food diet and juice therapy promoted by Dr. Walker, Jay worked with Dr. Walker beginning in the 1940s and right up until Dr. Walker's death.

Dr. Walkers discoveries and the advocating of raw vegetable juices in the restoration of health has lived on in the promotion of juicing by Jay Kordich, Paul Bragg, Jack LaLanne, and yes, even to this day, by this editor and Hallelujah Acres. Dr. N. W. Walker was living proof that a longer, healthier, more enjoyable life is achievable through mental poise, intelligent body care, and the abundant use of raw vegetable juices. Dr. Walker observed a raw food diet, with the abundant use of raw vegetable juices right up until his death at the age of 99 years and 5 months. He also remained both physically and mentally healthy and active up to the day of his death, when he peacefully died during his sleep one night at his home. EDITORS CONCLUDING THOUGHTS Dr. Norman W. Walker, along with Paul Bragg, and Jack LaLanne, my Health Heroes, are men I have tried to emulate. It is my hope that after reading their testimonies, you will make them your Health Heroes as well, and that you will desire to emulate their diets and lifestyle as I have. What Dr. Walker, Paul Bragg, and Jack LaLanne, preached and practiced for many, many, years is what this editor has been preaching and practicing for the past 35 years. If you, my friend, are not on The Hallelujah Diet, if you will but stop putting the worlds SAD diet into your body and start eating those foods God told us to eat in Genesis 1:29 and start exercising, then you too can most likely experience the miracle in your body that Dr. Walker, Paul Bragg, Jack LaLanne, and this editor have experienced. And please dont say that you are too old or sickly to begin. No matter how old or sickly you may be, in most instances a change in diet and lifestyle can start you on the road to recovery a road that can restore your health, and possibly save your life.

FLUORIDE: FRIEND OR FOE

Recently, Health Ministers Harry and Connie L of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, spent a week at Hallelujah Acres exploring the possibility of building a home and living here at The Villages of Hallelujah Acres. Before heading home they presented me with a book titled The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush. by Andreas Moritz. In reading this book, I found on pages 96-98 new information on the subject of fluoride poisoning, the very subject of an article I shared in last weeks Health Tip. Following is some of the new information regarding fluoride gleaned from this book: Since the liver is unable to break down fluoride, it attempts to pass this poisonous chemical into the bile ducts. This leads to bile duct congestion and numerous other ailments. Fluoride is added to 60 percent of the drinking water in the United States and a number of other countries. Manufacturers add it to a wide range of products, including soy products, toothpaste, fluoride tablets, fluoride drops, fluoride chewing gum, tea, vaccines. Other animal studies found that fluoride accumulates in the pineal gland and interferes with the production of melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate the onset of puberty, thyroid functions, and numerous other basic physiological processes. In humans, fluoride has been found to cause arthritis, osteoporosis, hip fractures, cancer, infertility, Alzheimers disease, and brain damage. The book further talks of the increase of thyroid problems being experienced by ever greater numbers of people today, and tells how fluoride depresses the thyroid gland, causing millions of people to suffer with hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), which produces over 150 symptoms including depression, fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, and more. EDITORS NOTE: In last weeks Health Tip I concluded the article on the Dangers of Fluoride Exposed with these words: For nearly 20 years this editor has been warning people of the dangers of fluoridation. Now at long last it appears others are becoming concerned and this editor is rejoicing. Sadly, rather than address the growing evidence that fluoride does indeed cause numerous problems within the human frame, mainstream researchers have decided to instead just throw more money into conducting more research. Meanwhile a high percentage of the population continues to place this toxic substance into their body with every glass of water coming from their municipal water supplies or the toothpaste they brush their teeth with daily. Have you ever noticed the warning on toothpaste tubes containing fluoride regarding the potential health risks of swallowing the toothpaste? There ought to also be a WARNING sign on every drinking fountain and faucet spewing out this toxic fluoride substance.

MAILBAG: A NEW LIFE AT 90-YEARS-YOUNG
In last weeks Health Tip #692, I shared a number of birthday greetings I had received from across America and around the world. One of those greetings was from Health Ministers George and Peggy N. who live in Mesa, Arizona: Happy Birthday George! You look great on the cover of the recent Hallelujah Acres Health News. We showed your picture to our Get Healthy/Stay Balanced students and asked the question Dont you want this kind of energy, health and vitality as you approach your 8th decade? We certainly do! We sent a testimony of my mom who has been on The Hallelujah Diet for 15 years to you recently. She will celebrate her 90th birthday in March. Accompanying that birthday greeting was the testimony of that 89-year-old woman: My name is Marie H.; I was born in Aurora, Missouri on March 25, 1921. In June 1996, at the age of 75, I heard Rev. George Malkmus in Lodi, California give his testimony about overcoming cancer by simply changing his diet. One thing George talked about was acid reflux. I had this condition and had chewed antacid tablets like candy for over 30 years. George said, you can get over acid reflux in seven days by simply giving up animal products.' Could his claim really be true and could I give up animal products for a whole week? So being from the show me state, I said to myself, show me! With the encouragement of my daughter, Peggy, I took Georges challenge. On the sixth day of the seven-day challenge, I no longer had acid reflux. But not only did I give up meat for those seven days, but havent eaten any meat in nearly 15 years. And as a result, and by following The Hallelujah Diet, have been antacid free for 15 years. My daughter, Peggy and her husband have been Hallelujah Acres Health Ministers for over 15 years and they showed me how to prepare healthy meals for my husband and me. I didnt miss my old SAD diet, but my husband would grumble about missing his meat. However, The Hallelujah Diet dramatically improved our health. My husband no longer needed his high blood pressure medicine and nor his pre-diabetic medication. He went to be with the Lord a few years ago, but I believe that his quality of life in his later days was lengthened by The Hallelujah Diet. We were married for 65 years. I will be 90-years-young this month. Actually I tell people that I will be 25 on the 90th day of March. I recently passed my drivers license test with a 100% score. I still drive to church, grocery shopping, the mall, and eat out with friends. I also clean my own home and prepare my own meals.

A few years ago, Peggy and her husband took me to Hawaii. It was very exciting riding a parasail with my daughter, riding on the back of a Sea-Doo with my son-in-law, and putting my toes in the sand at the beach with my great grandchildren. Life is good! Three of my grandchildren wrote the raw food recipe book: How We All Went Raw. They call themselves the Top Raw Men; because they are in TOP physical condition because they are on the Hallelujah Diet and eat raw fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts. My granddaughter calls herself the Chic Flavor of the Top Raw Men. I meet weekly for lunch at a local raw food restaurant run by Liz F., another Hallelujah Acres Health Minister in Sacramento, California. The other day a customer in the restaurant bought my grandchildrens book and walked over to my table and asked me to autograph the book. I asked her what she would like me to write and she replied, just sign it Top Raw Grandma, and I did. When I go to my doctor for my annual checkup, the doctor invariably asks me to name all the medicines that I am taking. The doctor and medical staff are always amazed with my answer. I feel healthy; have no pain, and TAKE NO MEDICATIONS.' I give all the credit for my good health to Jesus for leading me to The Hallelujah Diet. Thank you George, Rhonda, Paul, and Ann Malkmus for teaching and living the Genesis 1:29 diet. Amen! EDITORS NOTE: Dr. Norman Walker was introduced to the raw plant-based diet 50s and went on to live within seven months of 100th his birthday. Above we read the testimony by Marie, who made the diet change to a 100% plant-based diet at age 75 and is still experiencing excellent health at age 90. These types of testimonies are not unusual for senior citizens who adopt The Hallelujah Diet. We have had testimonies of people in their 80s and 90s coming out of wheelchairs and even nursing homes after making the diet change. (Children with parents in nursing homes who put parents on BarleyMax and take them daily carrot and other raw freshly extracted vegetable juices often see almost miraculous improvement in their parents' health!)
