Simple, Powerful, Convincing, Actually Works!,
This started it all for me around January. A good friend recommended this book after she beat breast cancer by changing her diet! I knew then I had to understand the link between diet and health. I wasn’t satisfied to read just this book but many of the others listed in the bibliography and others on biological medicine and others relating to the acid/alkaline balance within our bodies. I’ve been able to help my mother gain control of her arthritis and hopefully get her off methotrexate for good. I’ve been able to help my mother in law lower her cholesterol since prior strokes have made this an issue. And my wife and I have lost the weight we couldn’t seem to shake and have been able to improve all aspects of our health and physical well being. If you have any loved ones who’s quality of life you want help improve this book is a great start.

|A Few Good Concepts,
I am familiar with this book and read it at the invitation of my Father who had cancer and eventually went on to be an elite Health Minister with Hallelujah Acres.
My concerns with regard to this book are not with a vegan diet which I understand and observe many to be on and to do just fine.
My concerns are with the philosophy and teachings underpinning the book and how it is used to profit the author and the organization of Hallelujah Acres which seeks not just to have you change your diet, but to buy their products.
The entire premise of this book theologically is based upon George Malkmus’ interpretation of Gen 1:29 which he takes to mean that God created mankind to eat only fruits and vegetables. Based upon this interpretation, which is not accepted by a majority of Biblical Scholars, Malkmus suggests that meat entered the human diet after the Noah’s Flood. While he does not suggest necessarily that eating meat itself is sinful, he does strongly push the idea that this was God’s original plan for diet and therefore anyone seeking to eat optimally should consider this as the first choice.
He goes further to teach that illness is caused and/or escalated by what he deems the Standard American Diet (conveniently acronymed as SAD for emphasis.)
Chielf culprits are any and all meat products, dairy products and then sugar, flour, salt.
It would be one thing if he left it here and invited you to join him with his diet plan.
He doesn’t however.
Based on this rather shaky premise of questionable theology and some pretty questionable science and nutrition teaching that suggests there is an esoteric life giving quality to eating live food as opposed to “dead” food he goes on to teach that there are things he has come up with to go above and beyond eating natural raw food.
This is the real point of the book in my opinion.
He wants you to buy BarleyMax, a product he sells through his traditional multi-level marketing business for a profit.
This is important enough to repeat.
Hallelujah Acres is not a ministry in a formal sense at all. They are a business and they sell products. Malkmus, through his weekly newsletter often appeals to what he does and calls it a ministry. He justifies it and calls “ministry” such actions as giving free seminars, free electronic newsletters, counselors etc and holds that up as “proof” of his ministry. Other companies call this “marketing.”
Nutritionally their featured product “BarleyMax” (before this they uses an AMA product names “BarleyGreen” which received warning from the FDA for excessive claims beyond what science could demonstrate) is sold by them and their “Health Ministers” often serve as financial marketing partners who in turn profit from their ministry.
Recent developments in their teachings include now supplimenting their diet with vitamin B12 which is a common deficiency in Vegans and can lead to irreversible nerve damage. They resisted this recommendation for years despite overwhelming evidence of the need for this suppliment and then conveniently began to offer the suppliment themselves; another cash flow.
Often supporters of this diet frame their support for this diet in spiritual terms implying or outright claiming that this is God’s diet plan and any who oppose their teaching or question their claims are attacking God and supporting Satan.
The primary method of support are an overwhelming number of testimonies regularly put out from people who are on the diet. Consistent in these testimonies are that many are on the front end of the diet and very excited about the weight loss and energy they have. Updates on these people is rare. There are always new people coming on who are caught up in the excitement and willing to claim healings and health improvement.
Medical verification of these claims is not consistent.
George Malkmus’ own personal testimony of healing from cancer is based upon examinations by chiropractors and there is no pathology or medical records to substantiate his claims.
Tied into this teaching is a very strong negative assessment of the medical profession and the outright implication that they are profiteers seeking to perpetuate illness for their own gain in many instances.
Ironically, in recent years, Malkmus has suffered a stroke and had high blood pressure which his diet and herb treatments could not control. He now sees a doctor and is on medications to control this condition. There is some question as to the nature of the stroke itself and whether it might not have been caused or exacerbated by his diet’s deficiencies.
In closing let me tell you how the story of my father ended. He was diagnosed in October of 1999 with kidney cancer in the 4th stage. He went on the Hallelujah Diet when the medical…

|An excellent work,
If I could recommend just one book to introduce someone to the rawfood approach to eating this would be it. It is a well written, bible based book but with plenty of scientific evidence demonstarting why it is best to eat this way and why cooking destroys most of the nutritonal value of food. It also has hundreds of personal testimonials of those who have improved their overall health and many who have overcome so called “incureable” diseases using this method. Since adopting this approach to eating along with juicing a few months ago, I have lost almost 15 pounds and have experienced a wonderful surge in energy. Without reservation I will suggest this book to anyone looking to improve their health and quality of life. An excellent companion book to this is “The Juiceman’s Power of Juicing” by Jay Kordich which does a great job presenting the benefits of juicing and has many good juice recepies
