The Hallelujah Diet Was the Answer To My Prayers

Dear Reverend Malkmus, In December 2001 my husband was at work and he suddenly, without warning, lost his balance coming downstairs. Immediately, the left side of his body became numb and started tingling and his right leg could not support his weight.

He went to the Emergency Room only to be admitted for a week of spine probing and fluid withdrawal, brain frying x-rays and many other invasive tests. All we were told was that his pupils were very dilated and that he either had cancer or multiple sclerosis of the C2 portion of his spine we were supposed to wait for 8 weeks to see if the lesion grew if it grew he had cancer, if not, it was MS.

We immediately started to pray not for a cure, but for wisdom and discernment. God always answers our prayers but not always in the way we expect. As his family around him fell apart emotionally, I watched his acceptance at whatever God had planned for him and my tears flowed with submission to God's will. I watched Dave plant seeds of faith in his children as he trusted the Lord with his health. As I prayed the Lord reminded me of Psalm 41:1-3 which reads, 'Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the Lord delivers him in times of trouble. The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness.' This was the hope I needed.

As the New Year approached I started my fourth-year round of Pneumonia or Bronchitis. Each year it progressively got worse and each year I had to take antibiotics for longer periods of time. As discouragement set in, my prayers led me to Proverbs 2:10-11 which reads, 'For wisdom will enter
your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.'

After Dave was released from the hospital we returned to church; Dave in a walker. Suddenly people from everywhere came to us and said, 'you need to start BarleyMax and carrot juice.' I said, 'What in the world are those?' A friend of mine gave me her copy of 'God's Way to Ultimate Health.' We were scheduled to take a four-hour road trip to see my Mom, and I proceeded to read the book out loud to my family. Our 15-year-old daughter was in the backseat with her CD headset on.

As I consumed the words I was reading I knew God was giving me the wisdom I had prayed for. Coming from the Standard American Diet, and realizing the 'drastic' change that would be needed, I started to think, 'God, surely this is not what you have in mind for us!' At eight weeks, Dave's doctor confirmed he had MS and that he was to start taking the A, B or C drug for the rest of his life. But he refused all the toxic choices and told the doctor he was going to look for an alternative.

As I prayed and contemplated this change I was working as a Financial Controller at our church. A pastor brought a young lady into my office and suggested I listen to her testimony. One year previously she had MS so severely she was in a wheelchair, her body riddled with pain daily and she had refused all drug therapy. She had 12 lesions (11 in her brain and 1 in her spine, Dave only had 1 in his spine). Se went on the Hallelujah Diet and in six months her lesions were one-half the size. After one year her MS was gone and today she teaches aerobics.

I cried as I realized that she was God's confirmation to me that this Hallelujah Diet was the answer to my prayers.

At the time, I didn't consider myself to have many health problems (quite delusional I might add), but I knew that if I didn't do this diet with Dave it wouldn't be successful, as I was the one preparing our family's meals. I did not want to loose my husband to disease and was willing to do anything to help him. With my Lord at my side I began to consume knowledge to understand how to do this thing, how to feed my family, how to renew my mind.

God has blessed our efforts. For years I prayed that Dave and I would have a ministry we could do together (we both were very active in our church, me in Women's Bible Study and Dave in First Impressions Ministry) I just didn't realize that Dave would have to become ill for that ministry to be born. God began a good work in us!

We started the (Hallelujah) diet immediately. Our 15-year- old daughter had overheard me reading in the car and on the way home had ordered her usual cheeseburger and fries at a restaurant. She took one bite and said, 'I will never eat meat again. I heard everything you read and don't want to get sick like my daddy.' So as a family we ventured on the journey to health, basically alone, except for a couple of wonderful Health Ministers from Bradenton, Florida.

In July 2002 we decided to go to the Health Minister training in Shelby. We went for knowledge that perhaps this knowledge would help make this easier for us. We were inspired by the 200+ people who shared their testimonies and we loved the heart of Rev. Malkmus. For the first time since December 2001, Dave's 24/7 MS symptoms disappeared for a whole day. That gave us renewed hope and faith that we were on the right path. Sometime during that week (at Health Minister training) our minds and hearts were transformed. We knew we had to become Health Ministers and share this with others everyone we knew was sick in some way or another. Our Back to Eden Health Ministry was born in September 2002 and we have touched over 400 lives since its beginning.

Following are the health improvements we have experienced (on The Hallelujah Diet):

Dave threw his walker away -- most days his MS symptoms are non-existent. gone are: severe arthritic pain (he used to take 800 mg of Ibuprofen twice a day for the pain), facial cancers, 44 pounds, body odor, toe fungus, acid reflux, headaches, snoring, an undiagnosed chest lump, severe joint pain, bad breath, and he is now growing hair back on his head -- on a bald spot he has had for twenty plus years.

Sherry -- is now off blood pressure and thyroid medicine (taken for 10 years before making the diet change), facial wrinkles have lessened and now have healthier hair. Healed and gone are: allergies, 50 pounds, Three Years of bronchitis/pneumonia (and has not returned), athlete's foot, bladder incontinence healed, acid reflux, body odor, bad breath, dandruff, bleeding gums, large bunion (almost gone), shoulder pain from previous injuries, hand, facial skin smoother, black moles disappearing, and for 32 years I was anemic and now give blood regularly.

Amberlee (our daughter) -- At 15, no one would expect that she would be experiencing many health problems, but we noticed several of her health problems had disappeared. She lost 41 pounds and found self-esteem and joy. acne and bleeding gums are gone, achy joints, knee lock ups, headaches, PMS and menstrual pain, dandruff, acid reflux are gone, and stretch marks have disappeared. and the constant cough she had for two years disappeared. Her legs also snapped and creaked as she walked up stairs, making us feel we needed to follow her with an oil can to lubricate her. Today, Amberlee, at age 18, is a beautiful, young, healthy, woman!

Since going on The Hallelujah Diet two and a half years ago, none of us have been sick, and we are enjoying improved health and quality of life and now feel we can fulfill God's purpose in our lives.
