Welcome to this week’s testimonies! I trust the Lord has given me wisdom as to which testimonies to share that will be of the most benefit and encouragement to you! It has been 14 years since we began sharing testimonies in the Health Tip — and we definitely wouldn’t have them if a diet and lifestyle change didn’t work!

“Dear George, Your efforts with these Health Tips have been incredibly helpful. Prior to adopting The Hallelujah Diet a year ago, I suffered with constant diarrhea. When I stay strict on the diet I no longer suffer with diarrhea. But each time I venture into the world of meats and high carbohydrates I feel sick and my acid reflux flares up. Thankfully I now know how to manage this problem – run back quickly to The Hallelujah Diet.

I struggle sometimes to stay on the program because I am an amputee with major hip problems. Because of my limitations it takes me 10 times longer to prepare the food than it would others. However, even with my limitations I still manage to make the vegetable juices, salads, salad dressings, vegan meals and even dehydrated foods. Having to spend all this time in the kitchen, along with the doing the laundry and keeping the house clean is sometimes exhausting. I would love to hear a few words of encouragement from you. Thank you for your life-long commitment to helping others eat well!”
Carolyn B., Kimberly, Idaho

EDITOR’S NOTE – Friends, if Carolyn, an amputee, can do the diet, so can you if you really want to! Yes, it has not been easy for her, but even with great difficulty she has done it and experienced the benefits. I have learned that most things that are good for us are not easy – but when done – are worth it. May Carolyn be a motivation to many of our readers to give The Hallelujah Diet a try!

“Dear Rev. Malkmus: I wish to thank you for saving lives by educating people about what the proper diet they should follow is, in order to properly nourish their physical bodies. And you and I know that God told us what that diet should be in Genesis 1:29. God created the human body with the innate ability to heal itself when provided the proper nutrients.

I experienced that innate healing by becoming a vegan in 1963 – nearly 50 years ago. Prior to changing my diet and lifestyle in 1963 I had the typical aches and pains that affect most Americans, but I also suffered with more than just the typical aches and pains. I had gone to many doctors and had been advised that it would require seven surgeries to improve my health. Not wanting to go under the knife, and after an eighth doctor told me ‘you have the most serious and life threatening conditions I have ever seen’, and not wanting to be immediately rushed into surgery to save my life as the doctor wanted me to do, I declined his generous offer and opted to adopt a 100% plant based diet. Thanks to the Lord, He enlightening me that rather than needing surgery to correct my physical problems I needed to change my diet and lifestyle.

As a result of making that diet change 50 years ago I never had a single surgery. Following that diet and lifestyle change, and for the past 50 years and on a 100% plant based diet, I have experienced optimum health. Through the years my research and personal experience have proven that raw, plant-sourced foods are the optimum diet for optimum health. I once read about two PhDs who bought a beautiful home in the country and decided to remove the destroyer of health from their home – the kitchen stove. I thought you’d like hearing that story.”
Harold A.

“George, you are an inspiration to me! I love reading your Health Tips – thank you for writing them! I learned about the benefits of a raw, vegan diet about a year ago and knew immediately in my heart it was the way to eat. I tried to tell the people in my church, and especially in bible study on college campus that the cookies, brownies, and Kool-Aid they were consuming were terrible for them. But whenever I attempted to encourage them to a healthier lifestyle I got the evil stares and was accused of just being another ‘health nut.’

I am a biochemist student with a minor in nutrition and know it is my calling to inspire and teach people about proper diet and lifestyle. In fact my dream is to travel from church to church and share that a vegan diet can prevent and cure cancer, diabetes, heart disease even , plus many more physical problems by educating them with the knowledge I have gained from you Mr. Malkmus. God is good – SO GOOD!”

In last week’s Health Tip we began taking a look at recent legislation called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), also referred to as “Obamacare”, “National Health Care” or “Socialized Medicine.”

I shared a letter I had written to Hillary Clinton 18 years ago to show that my opposition to National Health Care (PPACA as it is called today) is not recent.

I opposed National Health Care 18 years ago just as much as I oppose it today, because it is dangerous to the health, well-being, pocketbooks, and freedoms of the American people.

Is National Health Care a Good Idea?

There are a number of reasons to be concerned about PPACA. Here are the three I feel are most important.

1.    PPACA cannot bring health to the American people.

One of the reasons I opposed National Health Care 18 years ago is the same reason I oppose National Health Care (PPACA) today. – Neither is capable of bringing health to the American people!

Rather than bringing health to the American people, PPACA will force all Americans, whether they want to participate in it or not, into a system that has already proven to be an abject failure.

Doctors and drugs never have nor never will be capable of bringing health to the American people! Why? Because the treating of disease doesn’t produce health! Furthermore, these modalities are often more dangerous to the health of the individual being treated than the disease they are being treated for.

Here is just one example of why I say this:

Every year in America, medical mistakes and adverse reactions to prescription drugs cause the death of over a half-million Americans! That makes modern medicine the number one cause of death in America each and every year.

• Dr. Leape, in 1994, said his figure of 180,000 medical mistakes annually was equivalent to three jumbo-jet crashes every two days.
• The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million. The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million. The total number of iatrogenic deaths [induced inadvertently by a physician or surgeon or by medical treatment or diagnostic procedures] is 783,936.

The results obtained by going to doctors and taking drugs for physical and psychological problems hasn’t improved in the past 2,000 years!

The below verse from the Bible tells us the results the medical community was obtaining in treating a woman with health issues over 2,000 years ago, a woman who walked this earth during Jesus’ time here on earth.

“And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse.”
(Mark 5:25-26)

And please note that today, over 2,000 years since the “modern medicine” of Jesus’ day was incapable of healing this woman in the Bible with an “issue of blood”, modern medicine is still incapable of healing disease any better.

Yes, today, people are still suffering greatly at the hands of modern medicine no matter how many scientific breakthroughs and advances they claim, or how many medical breakthroughs they claim are on the horizon.

Did you ever watch a friend or loved one, after having been diagnosed with cancer, go to the hospital and after the administering of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery suffer greatly like the woman with the issue of blood? Not to mention: “had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse.”

If you have ever watched a person go through that torture, you understand what I am saying here. They experience wretched vomiting, violent shaking, hair falling out, muscle wasting, along with unobservable damage to brain, liver, kidneys, and so many more horrible side-effects.

And then after all of this torture, the cancer often comes back, and they go through that torture again, with the same or worse results, and then too often – they die anyway.

Can this so-called progress honestly be called “health care”?

And then there is the cost…

2.    PPACA will bankrupt our government and its people.

QUESTION:
Is the health of the American people any better today when we are spending $2.7 trillion annually for health care, than it was in 1994 when Hillary Clinton was trying to get the nation to adopt a national health care plan and we were spending $942 billion annually?

The 2.7 trillion spent last year on health care is projected to top $3 trillion this year. In fact, the cost of health care is projected to increase every year into the distant future with no letup in sight, as the people of our great land become progressively sicker.

QUESTION:
Are the results the American people are obtaining, after all the money being spent on so-called “health care” today any better than the results obtained 2,000 years ago, when this women “spent all that she had”, as recorded in the Bible?

“And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, and hadbeen to many physicians, and had SPENT ALL THAT SHE HAD, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse.” (Mark 5:25-26)

The more people forced into National Health Care (PPACA), the higher the costs will become. The health of the American people cannot be improved by spending ever more money on so-called health care. That is already a proven fact! But there is a solution, and I will share what the solution is in next week’s Health Tip.

3.    PPACA will bring us a step closer to socialism.

National Health Care is something most European governments have provided their citizens for many years. The cost of European health care, along with other social programs, and an ever increasing control of industry by government, have brought the people of Europe into what is called “European Socialism”.

As government control and power over the private sector has increased, the freedoms of the people have decreased. European socialism has caused a great loss of freedoms, brought economic chaos, and increasingly poorer health to the people of Europe.

As government provides ever increasing social programs for the people, the people become increasingly dependent on government and begin to feel that these social programs are a “right”! These social programs are NOT guaranteed in the Constitution of these United States.

The only responsibility of government to the people is to protect the people from foreign invaders and provide an environment where the people can pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, in a free environment. Only in a free society, not hindered nor encumbered by government, can a nation flourish!

Then when the government cannot continue these social programs because the money is gone and they try to cut back, the people rise up in anger, vote out the government that is trying to bring about austerity, and vote for and demand that these social programs continue.

Greece is an excellent example of what ultimately happens under socialism. When there is no more money to pay for these social programs and the government tries to cut back on government handouts, there is rioting in the streets by the people who want the government to continue the handouts, even though there is no longer any money to pay for them.

What Is Socialism?

The word “socialism” ought to scare every red blooded, freedom loving American, because it is the first tool government uses in an attempt to enslave the people. And once a socialist government has been installed the next step is communism.

There are only three systems available to supply the necessities of life – Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism.

Those seeking to bring America into a socialist system criticize capitalism and make it a dirty word, claiming it to be an unjust system. Though there are some unscrupulous individuals who abuse and misuse this system, critics of capitalism fail to realize that it is capitalism that has made America the envy of the world and the place where multitudes from around the world have been seeking to escape to for hundreds of years.

Politicians seeking to bring about a “socialist” form of government go after the poor, telling them that they are being mistreated by those who have more then they, or try to make it a race issue. But most Americans have no idea what being poor is no matter what the color of their skin.

The poorest in America, in a capitalist society, are rich compared to others in the world living under a socialist or totalitarian government. In America, under a capitalist system, the poor drive automobiles have televisions and cell phones, running water, plenty of food on the table and a roof over their head.

If a person wants to see what being poor really is, they should go see what I saw when I visited South Africa some years ago. There, many of the poor live in shanty villages without electricity, a toilet, or even running water, with absolutely no hope for the future.

My own grandparents on my mother’s side, right here in America, lived without electricity, running water or a toilet, without health insurance or life insurance, and never considered themselves to be poor, nor did they ever receive or expect even one dime from government. Rather they were proud, hard working Americans that earned their bread by the sweat of their brow, and because of their industriousness, had great hope for the future.

For a moment, let’s take a look at the differences between Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism. Webster’s Dictionary defines each as follows:

“CAPITALISM – an economic system in which investing in and ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals . . .”

For years, we have had leadership in our government, politicians who have been trying to take our country away from a capitalist system and into a socialist system. If they succeed, it will forever destroy America as we have known it. And what is socialism? Again, let’s allow Webster to define:

“SOCIALISM – a theory or system of SOCIAL organization in which the means of production and distribution of goods are owned and controlled collectively or by GOVERNMENT . . . the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism . . .”

“COMMUNISM –  . . . a system of SOCIAL organization in which all economic and SOCIAL activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single political party. . .”

The United States of America for over 200 years has been a bastion of freedom – the envy of the world – the land of the FREE and the home of the brave!

Our pledge of allegiance to our country’s flag states: “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, with LIBERTY and JUSTICE FOR ALL.”

Health Care Plan Dangers – Exposed

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your advisory the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist steadfast in the faith.”
(I Peter 5:8-9)

In order to better understand why I oppose National Health Care it is necessary to take a look at not only the failure of the system to improve the health of the people and its unsustainable costs, but also the implications of socialism, and how National Health Care (PPACA), when forced upon the citizens, becomes a tool to enslave the people.

This enslavement of the people doesn’t just happen overnight, but slowly as what should be the responsibility of the citizen is allowed by the citizens to be assumed by the government. Sadly, and often too late, by the time the citizen realizes what is happening they have lost their freedom and have sold their birthright.

In other words, before the people are aware of what is happening to them, if National Health Care is upheld by the Supreme Court, they will have lost their freedom to control their own health! Their bodies will become government property, completely controlled by government. That’s what is happening currently in these United States of America.

PPACA is government’s attempt to take control over the health of each citizen of these United States. First they will require every citizen to have health insurance. What this health insurance will cover will be dictated by government. Then government will require insurance companies to cover, without extra cost, ever more things.

When the insurance companies can no longer make a profit because costs are greater than premium payments, insurance companies will go out of business and government will be the only entity left to provide health insurance. That is one of the dirty goals of PPACA.

Once this happens, government will determine who is worthy of receiving treatment and who is not. Because of the unsustainable high costs of treating disease, rationing will have to be put into place, and the elderly will be the first to be denied services because they are no longer able to work and pay taxes. The elderly are a drag in a socialist society.

President Obama has already expressed that in order to minimize health care costs the elderly who need expensive treatments should be given a pill rather than obtain expensive treatment.

This all reminds me of the story of the frog who was placed into a pot containing cold water. The frog became very comfortable in that cold water until the pot was placed on a stove burner and slowly heated. By the time the frog realized what was happening to it, the water was boiling, and the frog was no longer able to jump out of the pot. The frog died because it did not realize what was happening to it until it was too late.

Don’t I have a right to health care?

There are some today telling us that Health Care is a “right” that ought to be provided by government. But in America, government is supposed to be controlled by “We the People”, with its only power given it by the citizens, citizens who at the ballot box determine who will run government.

How can government afford to provide its citizens with “Health Care”? It CAN’T! In order for government to provide health care it must first take the money from the people in the form of taxes and then dole it back to the people as government sees fit. The only money government has to spend has to be first taken from taxpaying working people.

In America, nearly 50% of the people pay no taxes. That means that those who pay taxes are thus subsidizing the health care costs of the non-tax-paying citizen, even the health care costs of those who have entered our country illegally. This is financially unsustainable.

As sickness increases due to poor diet and lifestyle, health care costs increase, and the monies paid in taxes by working Americans becomes insufficient to cover costs. As ever increasing sums of money are required to pay the costs of health care, ever more money needs to be borrowed (from China), eventually resulting in national bankruptcy.

As in the frog illustration above, PPACA is the beginning of the end for each citizen who desires to live in freedom rather than slavery.

Once citizens are required to look to government for their health care, that person’s body becomes government property. Government control of a person’s body is socialism, a giant step toward communism, a system where government controls everything.

What is the eventual result of National Health Care?

PPACA will force every citizen of these United States to turn their bodies over to a government that, rather than having their best interest at heart, is increasingly trying to exert ever more control over the people. As this happens, America ceases to be “The land of the FREE”!

PPACA will bring disunity to the people of our great land. Currently the nation is divided on the issue of National Health Care. One side wants government to provide their health care, while the other side wants government to butt-out and allow the people to be responsible for their own health care.

Surveys show that over 60% of the American people oppose PPACA. Our own poll on this Health Tip showed the following results:

The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments on National Health Care. How would you rule?

• Rule the entire act unconstitutional (86%, 1,235 Votes)
• Uphold the act (7%, 106 Votes)
• Rule only the mandate unconstitutional (4%, 62 Votes)
• Have no opinion (3%, 28 Votes)
• Total Voters 1,431

The Supreme Court of these United States is currently deliberating on the constitutionality of PPACA. Its ruling will be made public in early June.

If the Supreme Court rules in favor of PPACA, it will result in the people of America losing one of their greatest freedoms – the ability of each individual to control their own body and health. If upheld, it will be a giant step toward turning America into a socialist nation. If this happens, Greece is an sobering example of what we have to look forward to.

If the Supreme Court strikes down PPACA, it will be a giant step in restoring the freedoms of the people of this great land and a giant step away from socialism. May God help us! PRAY!

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
(II Chronicles 7:14)

Next week the good Lord willing and if the creeks don’t rise too high, I will share a solution to our current dilemma concerning health care. Trust you will join us!

Prior to April 2012, those desiring to take Health Minister Training had to journey to Shelby, North Carolina (or prior to 1997 to Tennessee), except for the rare times when we took Health Minister Training on the road.

Over 10,000 have made that journey in the past and are now Health Ministers.

As of April of this year, we introduced our first-ever Health Minister Training online. April was our test run and was offered to only 30 students. We were hoping for at least 15 students to register. To our amazement, within two hours of announcing the availability of this first online training class, the class was sold out!

With that exciting beginning of Health Minister training online, we wondered what May enrollment would produce. Once again, almost all classes were sold out — nearly triple the response of the previous month! May’s enrollment includes 89 students from most states in the United States and from 27 countries around the world! In the past two months, we’ve had students log-on to Health Minister Training from:

1. Algeria
2. Australia
3. Barbados
4. Bermuda
5. Canada
6. Ecuador
7. France
8. Germany
9. Ghana
10. Hong Kong
11. Iceland
12. Israel
13. Jamaica
14. Japan
15. Kenya
16. Malaysia
17. Mexico
18. New Zealand
19. Nigeria
20. Northern Mariana Islands
21. Philippines
22. Poland
23. South Africa
24. Switzerland
25. Uganda
26. United Kingdom (Great Britain)
27. Zimbabwe

We’re now accepting students for our next Health Minister Training Online session, starting June 11 — register today!

Rhonda and I have made the landscaping around our home in Shelby an “edible landscape:”

• 5 thornless blackberries
• 6 grape vines
• 3 fig trees
• 2 apple trees
• 1 pear tree
• 1 peach tree
• 1 persimmon tree
• 1 cherry tree
• 3 raised garden beds (4×12 each) where we grow veggies most of the year

At the moment, we are especially excited about the 47 blueberry plants lining our driveway which we planted three years ago when only about a foot high. This year they are three and four feet tall and just covered with blueberries. There are clusters of blueberries on some of the branches so large just one cluster would fill a cup.

What does one do with so many blueberries?

Freeze them! They will keep frozen until next season and we place one cup of them in each of our morning “green smoothies”. But in addition to using them in our smoothies, frozen blueberries make an absolutely delicious and highly nutritious snacking food on a hot summer day.

If you have some land around your house, you might consider growing blueberries. In most areas they are easy to grow, require little maintenance, have few pests, and are so rewarding.

If you can’t grow them perhaps you can go to a u-pick blueberry farm, pick your own, (which is lots of fun for a family outing), and then bring them home (what you don’t eat while picking), and freeze them for later enjoyment.

DID YOU KNOW?
A study by The University Of Michigan Cardiovascular Center found that blueberries may help reduce belly fat and risk factors for cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome.

Living for others is so rewarding! For most of my adult life the following has been my motto: “Others Lord, yes others; may this my motto be; Help me to live for others; that I might live for Thee.”

My reward for “Living for Others” is the pile of testimonies I receive from folks who have applied the information I share in these weekly Health Tips and the seminars I conduct. These testimonies are worth far more than silver or gold or rubies to me!

“Rev. George, My husband and I were able to have two children and planned to have more, but after my second child I was unable to become pregnant.

For nearly eight years I prayed that the Lord would open my womb and allow me to have another child but those prayers went without an answer. After many years of prayer, our family moved to Tennessee so that my husband could attend Bible School. There I heard some serious preaching regarding praying and how if we wanted God to answer our prayers we often had to be participants in that answer.

Well it wasn’t long after, that the Lord brought a new friend into my life who had been through a very similar circumstance of barrenness. She told me that after many years of praying, she was introduced to The Hallelujah Diet, and as a result her prayers for a child were answered. I believed if The Hallelujah Diet could be the answer to her prayers for a child; a changed diet could be the answer to my prayers as well.

And sure enough, after seven years of prayer, in just a few short months after making the diet change, the Lord opened my womb and filled our lives with not only another child, but with four more children. God is amazing!

I have learned, though it has not always been easy, that true health results only from a strict vegetarian diet and the following the blessed truths that Hallelujah Acres offers. God bless you, and thank you for your faithfulness to Him, and to His Word, and the truths that lie in the pages of the Bible.”
Sarah S., Tennessee

“I just wanted to thank you Rev. Malkmus and your staff for making this excellent way available to so many and at no cost. I have found the way of eating you teach to be the best! I began The Hallelujah Diet six months ago and as a result have lost 38 pounds for an average loss of six pounds a month. And I have found it so interesting learning more and more as well as trying new recipes that I have found not only delicious, but so satisfying. The green smoothies are fantastic and delicious. I never tire of all the different ways you can change the flavor by varying the ingredients.

I now hardly ever eat anything cooked and could not in a million years have ever believed they could taste so good if I had not given them a try. Thanks so much for teaching us all how to eat in order to live a better and healthier lifestyle. God has been so good to me and will be to others if they will but ask Him and then be obedient to making this diet and lifestyle change.

I have also been on the Hallelujah Acres 60-Day challenge and was so impressed by what I learned that I have been doing everything right regarding the diet for the past six months. I am blessed beyond measure.

Love and prayers to you and all those at Hallelujah Acres who have made this possible for me and all the others who have adopted the Hallelujah Acres way of eating.”
Zillah A., Perry, Florida

Over the past few weeks, we exposed Satan’s Alternative Diet or as better known today, the “Standard American Diet” (SAD). When we compared the SAD with God’s Original Diet as found in Genesis 1:29, the differences were stark.

In these three Health Tips we shared how dangerous the SAD diet is — that it is the cause of most physical and many psychological problems being experienced today. Then we showed how by simply adopting God’s Original Diet, most of these problems can be eliminated and prevented.

Today we are going to take a look at the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).

What Is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)?

PPACA is a United States federal statute signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. It is often referred to as “National Health Care” or “Obamacare” by the press.

This law requires individuals not covered by employer or government sponsored insurance plans to maintain minimal essential health insurance coverage or pay a penalty unless exempted for religious beliefs or financial hardship. A provision commonly referred to as the “individual mandate”.

The act also reforms certain aspects of the private insurance industry and public health insurance programs, increases insurance coverage of pre-existing conditions, expands access to insure 30 million uninsured Americans and provides insurance coverage to children who are on a parent’s insurance policy till age 26, all without any increase in cost to the policy holder.

PPACA passed the Senate late at night on December 24, 2009 (Christmas Eve) by one vote. It was an extremely controversial vote of 60-39 with all Democrats and two Independents voting for, and all Republicans voting against. It passed the House of Representatives on March 21, 2010, in another extremely controversial vote of 219-212, with 34 Democrats and all 178 Republicans voting against the bill.

A majority of the states, plus numerous organizations and individuals, have since filed action in federal court challenging the constitutionality of some or all of the elements of PPACA. The Supreme Court heard six hours of oral argument on March 26-28, 2012 and is expected to issue its decision by the end of June 2012.

Hillary Clinton First Proposed National Health Care

In 1993, First Lady Hillary Clinton pushed hard to promote a National Health Care plan for the United States. In January 1994, this editor wrote an “Open Letter from Rev. George Malkmus to Hillary Rodham Clinton”. This was also published in my book “God’s Way to Ultimate Health” in 1995.

Portions of my letter to First Lady Hillary Clinton follow:

I come to you as a citizen of these United States of America to offer a solution that is not only causing tremendous suffering to our people . . . . but is also bankrupting our great nation. Mrs. Clinton, I believe you sincerely want an answer to this dilemma, therefore I submit the following for your consideration:

1. “Health Care is the largest failing business in America” says Prof. E. Cheraskin, M.D. of the University of Alabama School Of Medicine. The health care crisis is slowly bankrupting our citizens and our country. Costs for care are climbing four times faster than the rate of inflation. In 1992 we spent $817 billion on health care while in 1993 it is expected to cost $942 billion.During 1994 it is projected to reach $1 trillion and by the turn of the century $2 trillion. The plan advanced by you and President Clinton will not stop this constant increase in medical costs. Actually, it will accelerate the rise in health care costs as more and more people are brought into a system that has already proven to be a failure. (EDITOR – Health Care costs in 2012 are projected to reach the $3 trillion mark.)
2. We are a sick nation even though we are spending more to treat sickness per capita than any other nation on earth! If our present methods of treating disease worked, wouldn’t our people be healthier? If our advances in medical technology were heading in the right direction, wouldn’t we be winning the war against cancer, heart disease and other killers? Consider these horrible statistics from the Statistical Abstract of the United States 2992, as published by the U.S. Department of Commerce: . . . .These somber statistics are strong proof that the health of the American people is not getting better regardless of how much money is poured into so called “Health Care.” Also, these statistics reflect the poor health of our population even though over 70% of Americans already possess health Insurance. Obviously, possessing health insurance does not produce health. Sadly, the very drugs and treatments administered by our health-care professionals are the cause of many problems. (Over 25% of all hospital admissions are the result of adverse reactions caused by drugs prescribed by medical doctors.)
3. Calling your proposed legislation a “Health-Care Plan” is a misnomer! It would be more accurate to call the proposed plan a “Disease-Care Plan.” The plan you and President Clinton have advanced will not produce health. On the contrary it will continue to perpetuate the same status-quo of sickness and ill health we presently face while costing more and more money.
4. Countries that have plans similar to the one you advocate (e.g., Canada, England) have found it to be an increasingly more costly plan that just doesn’t provide quality health care for all citizens as you say you want for the United States.
5. Our present health-care system is geared to rewarding sickness and its treatment! It allows people that create their own physical problems by improper diet and lifestyle to be rewarded when they get sick by providing them with health care, often paid for those who take care of their bodies so as to maintain health. Your plan would also allow physicians, hospitals and drug companies to make even larger sums of money because your plan promotes and perpetuates the treating of symptoms rather than the prevention of disease. . . .
6. The plan you and President Clinton advocate will increase our taxes and put ever more money into a failing health-care system that, by any standards, offers ridiculously high costs and pathetically poor results. This is a system we must reform rather than expand, if we truly want to improve the health of the American people.

IF WE ARE GOING TO CORRECT THE ABOVE PROBLEMS A RADICAL CHANGE IS NECESSARY – and it must be radically different from the wasteful, profit-oriented program that currently governs our health care system. Here is what I propose:

1. SHIFT OUR EMPHASIS TO PREVENTION of disease rather than the current goal of merely trying to treat disease after it has occurred. The public must be told how to alter their diet and lifestyle so that disease is not created in the first place. This would be true health-care reform! The proposed health-care reform is doomed to failure because it is geared to treating the SYMPTOMS of sickness rather than the CAUSES of sickness!Dr. John Knowles, president of the Rockefeller Foundation says: “the next major advances in the health of the American people will come from the assumption of individual responsibility for one’s own health and a necessary change in lifestyle.”With knowledge, people would then be able to intelligently choose between a system that promotes wellness through proper diet and lifestyle verse a system that promotes disease and rewards an industry with a vested interest in sickness and disease. The Department of Health, Education and Welfare says: “it has become clear that only by preventing disease rather than treating it later, can we hope to achieve any major improvement in the nation’s health.”
2. EDUCATE THE PEOPLE!  True health-care reform will not result by rewarding people who continue their disease-producing diet and lifestyles. Any health-care plan that does not have as its primary goal the education of the American people as to what they should and should not eat to produce wellness will fail! This will only produce more physical problems and larger expenditures of money.Almost all sickness and disease is caused by improper diet and lifestyle, not by bacteria, viruses or genes as we have been led to believe by the medical industry. The way to restore wellness to the American people is to teach them how to eat and live so as to create wellness.Dr. Beverly Winikoff of the Rockefeller Foundation in New York said: “There is widespread and unfounded confidence in the ability of medical science to cure or mitigate the effects of such diseases once they occur. Appropriate public education must emphasize the unfortunate but clear limitations of current medical practice in curing the common killer diseases. Once hypertension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis or heart disease are manifest, there is, in reality, very little that medical science can do to return a patient to normal physiological function. As awareness of this limitation increases, the importance of PREVENTION will become all the more obvious.”
3. ANY NEW HEALTH-CARE PLAN MUST BE ONE THAT ENCOURAGES HEALTH by rewarding wellness and those who maintain health. Most disease is self-induced by improper diet and lifestyle, thus, almost all sickness and disease is preventable by a diet and lifestyle that produces wellness.Any health-care plan that does not place the responsibility for maintaining health on the individual will fail! If you feel it is necessary to continue paying for the medical treatments of those who refuse to change their diet and lifestyle, then please reward those who do maintain wellness. A voucher system would be a tremendous incentive. Allot every American citizen X number of dollars a year for health care. If they don’t spend it, then send them a check each year for the amount not used.
4. PRODUCTS THAT PRODUCE ILL HEALTH SHOULD BE REMOVED from the market place or heavily taxed. Let those who manufacture these unhealthy products and those who consume them help pay for the physical problems they produce. . . . . If we are going to improve the health of our people we must warn them of the consequences of eating things that harm them. Calling the public’s attention to the harm these products are doing by placing a tax and warning label on them certainly would be a step in the right direction.
5. GOVERNMENT-CONTROLLED INSTITUTIONS AND AGENCIES must not be allowed to use their powers to promote sickness and disease! Some examples would be:
• Of the 129 state-accredited medical schools in America only 29 require a course in nutrition. Doctors receive an average of less than three hours of nutritional training in medical school. This is outrageous! Doctors must become promoters of health through diet and lifestyle rather than just the treater’s of disease! . . . .
• The American Dietetic Association (ADA) is responsible for preparing the diets and approving all meals served to our public schools, jails, hospitals and to the elderly. An evaluation of these meals would show that they are high in sugar, saturated fat, sodium chloride and white flour, while being of little nutritional value. . . . An evaluation of the meals served in our nation’s hospitals would reveal a menu that produces sickness rather than helping to heal those hospitalized. This poisoning of citizens through Government mandate and control must be stopped and the ADA must be required to teach dietitians the TRUTH about what is and what is not nutrition.
• Each year, the USDA buys $3 to $4 billion worth of surplus foods (with taxpayers’ money), which it donates to the nation’s schools. In 1991, 90% of the USDA surplus foods were eggs, high-fat cheeses, butter, ground port, ground beef and whole milk. If the USDA had gone out intentionally to obtain foods that would destroy the health of our children they could hardly have done better. This use of taxpayer’s money to produce sickness in the youth of America is intolerable and must be stopped if we want to improve the health of our children.
• We are spending taxpayers’ money to subsidize farmers to grow tobacco rather than vegetables. Then we pay for anti-smoking public education campaigns and treatment of cancer and heart disease caused by smoking. Why are we funding both sides of the war on cancer? If we are going to use government subsidies to encourage farmers to grow specific crops, these should be healthful products.
• Even the Food Stamp program needs to be re-evaluated. While not allowing Food Stamps to be used for the purchase of alcohol and tobacco, Food Stamps can be used to purchase products loaded with sugar and oozing with saturated fat. The Government of these United States has a responsibility to its citizens not to use its power to promote or subsidize products that harm its people!
6. PLEASE CONSIDER MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND THE TESTIMONIES OF OTHERS WHO HAVE REGAINED THEIR HEALTH BY SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A CHANGE IN DIET. . . . (For a listing of thousands of testimonies from people who have recovered from over a hundred different physical problems though simple diet and lifestyle change visit http://www.hacres.com/library/testimonies )

 MRS. CLINTON, PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHAT I HAVE SHARED. Because of the financial profits from treating disease, you will find very limited support from those in the Medical Establishment for objective research into the benefits of preventative health-care based on changes in diet and lifestyle.

Modern science is learning much about the health benefits of eating fruits and vegetables, and the ways that vitamins, minerals and enzymes help our body to heal naturally. But still yet, most medical research is confined to looking for answers from pharmaceutical drugs, new surgical procedures, radiation, chemotherapy, etc.

In other words, things from which the medical establishment can make a huge profit. It’s sad to say, but the medical establishment has a tremendous financial incentive in keeping large segments of our population dependent on expensive surgical procedures, costly prescriptions and over-the-counter remedies consumed on a daily basis.

On the other hand, it is great when people are able to cure themselves simply by eating a natural diet and exercising. But this is an option discouraged in medical circles because there s no profit for doctors, hospitals, and drug companies.

Our present health-care system is geared to provide what is most profitable for physicians, drug companies and hospitals, not to what is best for the people of our great land. This, Mrs. Clinton, is what must be changed if you and your husband wish to implement TRUE health-care reform.

Concluding Thoughts

If the health of the American people is to be improved and if the staggering cost of health care is to be curbed, we must look outside the current and established systems. . . .

What I am saying is that almost all physical problems are caused by putting into our bodies substances they were never biologically designed to handle – substances that are actually toxic to the body. Just as our automobile will not run properly if the wrong fuel is placed in the gas tank, neither will our bodies function properly if the wrong foods (fuel) are put into them.

Almost all physical problems can be eliminated and perfect health maintained by proper diet and lifestyle!

If I can be of assistance in any way, please do not hesitate to call on me. My life is committed to restoring our country and world to health and sane living.

Sincerely for a Healthy America,

Rev. George H. Malkmus

Eidson, TN
January 1994

Fifteen years later, I wrote a similar letter to President Obama. This letter was written eight months before PPACA passed the Senate.

Read the Full Letter to President Obama Here

Next week the good Lord willing and if the creeks don’t rise too high, I will share what makes National Health Care so dangerous.

Rev. Malkmus’ book “The Hallelujah Diet” was first published in 2006 and has been a best seller ever since first being published. It started out being number one on Amazon and being carried by both Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club, and is currently in its 16th printing.

After many thousands of copies have been sold across America, it is now beginning to be printed in other languages.

Last year, Destiny Image, publisher of the book, came out with a Polish edition, and most recently an Indonesian edition.

Forwards to the book were written by Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Author of the “China Study” and Ed Foreman, author, speaker, and former U.S. Congressman from Texas and New Mexico.

The book also includes endorsements from Joel Fuhrman, M.D., author of “Eat to Live” along with Dr. Francisco Contreras, Chairman, President, and Chief Oncologist, Oasis of Hope Hospital, Dr. Joel Robbins, Health and Wellness Clinic, Tulsa, Oklahoma, along with numerous others.

Forward by Former Congressman Ed Foreman

The sound, sensible, scientifically proven principles presented by Dr. Malkmus can help sick persons regain wellness and well persons maintain a vitality of life, longevity, and energy. It is not some “fad” diet, “kinky” exercise routine, or special “supplements” line to sell books and products.

It is a plain, simple, proven life formula for achieving vigorous, strong, healthy, disease-free living with energy and happiness. It is so easy, inexpensive, and uncomplicated that “professionals” have trouble accepting its simplicity and astonishing results!

I have personally sent hundreds of Dr. Malkmus’ books and CD’s to family members, friends, professional associates, political colleagues, the U.S. President, White House officials, et. al., because of my own experience and belief in the message and results! Thousands of our popular Successful LifeCourse graduates attest to the life-enriching, energy-building benefits. It works!

Review by Bisi

“This is one of the most outstanding books l have ever read about diet and nutrition. I also like the way Rev George Malkmus explains things, why we have to stay away from certain foods. He gives those serious about their health an understanding that l have not come across in any other diet book. It’s the understanding that makes you want to commit and do it. Thanks Rev George for such an outstanding book. How l wish this book could be placed in all medical schools. Your passion for health is felt on every page. May God continue tobless and keep you.”

Read for yourself. The Hallelujah Diet by Rev. George Malkmus is available in the Hallelujah Acres online store.

“Dear Rev. Malkmus, Have you treated anyone with Parkinson’s disease with the Hallelujah Acres Diet, and if so have you had any success?”

Randall B.

EDITOR RESPONDS: First let me say that we here at Hallelujah Acres do not treat people for a medical condition, nor have we ever done so. We are simply a Christian ministry that teaches health from a biblical perspective.

The diet that we teach is the very diet God told the first humans to eat in Genesis 1:29. It is this same diet that in most instances provides the body with the nutrients needed for the body to literally heal itself.

With regard to Parkinson’s we have not had a lot of positive testimonies, though we have had a few reporting a slowing of the progression of the disease and found that they no longer experienced tremors.

All sources of artificial sugars such as aspartame must be eliminated. They lead to destruction of brain cells.

It is also extremely important for an individual with Parkinson’s to look for any metals in their mouth and other areas of oral pathology such as root canals or tooth extraction sites that may have cavitations. Oral pathology can impair the healing process and lead to neurological symptoms. One should be evaluated for heavy metal toxicity as well.

Recently we received a second letter from Randall.

Above you read Randall’s first letter to Hallelujah Acres. Below is his second letter telling the results he experienced after making a simple diet change:

“Not long ago I contacted Hallelujah Acres after being diagnoses with Parkinson’s. What I received back was not encouraging except that it encouraged me to explore the potential side effects of the medications the doctor wanted me to take. The potential side-effects of those medications I learned included the destruction of part of my brain.

“Not wanting to accept the potential of suffering those medication side-effects, I refused the medications and did a 10-day juice fast followed by the Hallelujah Acres Diet and Lifestyle. I am happy to report that already almost all my Parkinson’s symptoms are gone, I am able to walk normally again, my voice is returning, and the tremors are almost gone.

“I thank God I contacted Hallelujah Acres before taking those doctor prescribed medications. Thank you Hallelujah Acres.”

Randall B.

EDITOR NOTES: Ever since Hallelujah Acres had its beginning in 1992, we have been receiving testimonies from folks who have recovered from both physical and psychological problems after simply changing their diet and lifestyle from what I call the “world’s way” to “God’s way”.

Years ago, before Rhonda began holding Culinary Classes at Hallelujah Acres, she was asked by our pastor to teach a class on practical application of the Hallelujah Diet along with food preparation.

She has taught many a class since then, but we’re still enjoying this recipe she created for that first class.

Rhonda’s Very Berry Smoothie

I wish all our readers could be here at Hallelujah Acres for our first Saturday of the Month Seminars. In every seminar, we can have dozens of incredible testimonies of improved health shared. It is these testimonies as much as the information shared that motivate others to give the Hallelujah Acres Diet and Lifestyle a try.

35 Years Later…

I was a member of Rev. Malkmus’ church in Glens Falls, New York back in the 1970’s when he founded and pastored the Greater Glens Falls Bible Baptist Church.

After his cancer experience and he had changed his diet, he would often talk to folks in the church about this God diet, but I thought he was a little overboard and didn’t listen to him.

Then three years ago, after I had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, another person who was also a member of Rev. Malkmus’ church back in the 1970’s who I hadn’t seen in over 10 years showed up on my doorstep out of the blue one day and encouraged me to adopt Rev. Malkmus’ Hallelujah Diet.

It was at that time I adopted the Hallelujah Acres diet and I have been on it ever since with remarkable results.

I have a dream to fly down to Shelby some day to see Pastor Malkmus so that I can walk up to him and give him a big hug and thank him for what he has done for me. I also want to go to Shelby to get refreshed with Hallelujah Acres teachings and attend Rhonda’s Culinary Class. Man, what a dream that is!

Thank you, Rev. Malkmus, for all your help!

Weight Coming Off After 42 Years!

Dr. Malkmus,I am so thankful for your godly website and all you have done for me and so many others.

I have struggled with my weight since I was 15 years old. I am now 57 years old.

Eight months ago I adopted the Hallelujah Acres Diet and Lifestyle and since making the change I have not only lost 40 pounds, but I feel so GOOD and no longer have a desire to eat any other way.

I stick to the diet very closely and consume BarleyMax and carrot juice daily. I LOVE IT!

God has been so good to me. I was raised in a Christian home. My daddy was a devoted pastor and he raised a garden year round and always provided the family with garden foods.

I have always been healthy and have never had any sickness, but excess weight has always been a problem until I learned of Hallelujah Acres and the Hallelujah Diet.

Thank you for all the information you share in your Health Tips – it helps me so much.

Excited About Health Minister Training Online

I am so excited because even though I live in California, I am going to be visiting my daughter in Fayetteville, North Carolina and just learned that the weekend I was planning to go Home is the same weekend of your First Saturday seminar. So I changed my dates so that I can attend your upcoming Saturday seminar there in Shelby.

I am even more excited to see that you are going to provide Health Minister Training Online. I am excited because I feel God is directing me to take this training and doubt I would be able to take this training if I had to make a second trip to Hallelujah Acres for training due to the cost.

I have only been following the Hallelujah Lifestyle for slightly more than a month and because of the improvements in my own health already, I have convinced four other ladies in my church that they need to adopt this lifestyle also.

We have talked about holding classes, but I would like to be properly educated prior to doing this. My home is perfect for holding classes and I am doing all I can to get educated.

Your website is absolutely amazing, and I have been following Paul and Ann’s video presentation “60 Days to Reclaim Your Health.”

You offer so much for people who are serious about their health, and without cost. I thank God for you and the eye-opening information that you make available.

Now I am looking forward to not only visiting Hallelujah Acres when I visit my daughter in two weeks, but then following that visit by taking Health Minister training on line.
