Weight Loss

Health Minister Beth Hanger writes: "My husband Bill and I have been on the Hallelujah Diet since January 7, 2003, and have experienced great healing in these four and one-half months. Since making the diet change, Bill's PSA score has come down from 8.4 to 4.3, and we believe he is being healed of PROSTATE CANCER. We have both LOST 30 POUNDS, and have reached our normal healthy weight. Thank you for all you do for God's people!"

Judith Kopchak: "I have personally melted off 40 lbs. [since going on the Hallelujah Diet], and my pain level from connective tissue disease, closely related to lupus and/or fibromyalgia, has subsided significantly so that I am finally able to juice carrots on my own. The pain in my fingers, hands, arms, legs, and back would not permit me to juice before now. This has been a long haul for me, but for those of your readers who are getting discouraged, I have been on the Hallelujah Diet for 9 months. My personal thanks to you, Dr. Malkmus, for hanging in there when everyone else was not too encouraging in years past."

Dolly and Dan Hickson, who live in Washington: "Both of us are following the Hallelujah Diet, along with our two still-at-home children. The diet has profoundly changed our lives. We sincerely believe that the Hallelujah way of life is part of God's plan and that the condition of the physical body DOES affect our spiritual development. We both feel drawn to help people attain this knowledge. We also believe that it is critical to 'live the life' and practice what we preach. I believe our clients respect that. We are already hosting a monthly Hallelujah Diet Potluck with speakers. Since making the diet change Dolly has lost 50 pounds and Dan has lost 35 pounds. Both of us were on high blood pressure medication before the diet change, but have been able to drop the medication because we now have normal blood pressure readings without it."

This wonderful testimony update comes from Health Minister Linda Cole, who lives in Washington State: "God bless you, George, for staying the course and not wavering for all these years! The Hallelujah Diet WORKS! I am celebrating my 5-year breast cancer free anniversary this month, without chemotherapy or radiation, to God be the glory. I have had ongoing medical tests showing my healing since day one of diagnosis, and want to thank you so much for keeping the Hallelujah Diet simple and to the point, plus offering all the awesome Hallelujah resources to help me walk the walk each day. I am also 60 pounds lighter than when I started the Hallelujah Diet (118 lbs. at 5'3"). No more lifelong allergies; normal cholesterol; no more stomach, digestive, or colon problems, etc."

Linda continues: "My husband David is retiring this January 2002 so we can share the Hallelujah healing journey with others full time! We are grateful to God to be alive and to know the truth that has set us free from physical problems so that we in turn can share the Hallelujah healing journey with others. We pray for you and Hallelujah Acres to be protected by God as we see the world attacked by the enemy . . . however, greater is He (God) who is in us than he who is in the world, amen."

Marilyn Kranz, a retired nurse who lives in Florida. Previously I shared Marilyn's full testimony and updates in Health Tips #93 and #111. Here is another update: "I'm just compelled to give you an annual report on the Hallelujah Diet that you introduced to me at the Nurses For Christ Annual Convention three years ago this month, here in Florida. God has been so good to me to change my heart and mind about nutrition through you. I had never heard that you lose most of the nutrition from food by cooking it. I raised my kids on cooked food and seldom made salads because it was too much work. Now it's a joy and I seldom eat cooked food and never cheat. After all the Lord has done for me, how can I cheat?"

Marilyn continues: "The seventy pounds I lost in the first year and a half is still off, and not a pound less, eating the same way that made me lose those seventy pounds. I finally gave away my cane because my knees are fine and so is my blood pressure, after years of hypertension medication. All my lab tests are now normal! After forty years of trying to lose weight and feeling so guilty about it, the Lord has set me free. Praise His Name! Now weight is not my goal, but keeping this temple as clean and healthy as I can, is! I don't know of any other diet that promises health to me for the rest of my life. I am at jail two times a week, with other friends, bringing the redeeming love of Jesus to prisoners and giving out Bible studies to mature them in the faith. I feel that I was a prisoner, too, of this world's SAD diet, and the guilt that went with it. Thanks to Jesus and to you, Dr. Malkmus, for showing and encouraging me. Sincerely, a RETIRED R.N. from Florida." (Editor's note: Some people say that the Hallelujah Diet is only helpful in the short term, but this testimony sure refutes that notion!)

John Haywood: "On December 5, 2000 it will have been one year since I went totally raw. I feel great! I'm 50 years old and had put my body through many challenges growing up. My blood pressure went to normal after only two months on the diet. My enlarged liver is back to normal. My swollen ankles and feet no longer retain fluid. Not so much as a sniffle in one year. The flu went through my home twice last winter, but my immune system kept it away. I used to get the flu every year. . . . By the way, I've lost 90 lbs. My goal was 100 lbs., but I'm in no hurry--I'm having too much fun. My life has changed. I will never eat the world's diet again! God bless you and praise God!"

Lillian Weston in Western Australia come these words: "I had been struggling to lose weight for years while being constantly ridiculed about it. I suffered from depression and was on medication. But about twelve months ago my life started to turn around when I started reading self-help books to help me become more positive. I threw away all my medications and changed doctors. In July 2000 I weighed 146 kgs and sought help from my doctor and a dietitian about it. They put me on a diet of vegetables and fruits, both cooked and uncooked, a small amount of fish and meat, muesli with yogurt, and herb teas. I thought I was doing really well, but still struggled to lose the slightest amount of weight. In September 2000 I had an extremely painful gall bladder attack which put me in the hospital, where doctors removed a stone the size of a golf ball. Tests also showed a dysfunctional liver.

Lillian continues: "Once home from the hospital, a friend introduced me to the Hallelujah Diet. Since going on the Hallelujah Diet, my weight has dropped from 146 kgs to 102 kgs, a loss of 44 kgs (about 100 pounds). I now have lots of energy, more than I have ever experienced before. Clothes that haven't fit me in years are now getting too big. I never ever get hungry and I feel just great. I still occasionally get feelings of being down, but nothing like before. My family is very supportive and likes the change. With my husband's help we are now growing our own organic vegetables and drying our fruit."

Lillian concludes: "I have always been interested in health and nutrition, but always came to dead ends in my search for a healthful lifestyle that encompassed Christianity. Thank you for your ministry and for making it available to everyone who wants to learn. Thank you also for your weekly Health Tips, I love reading others' testimonies. I share what I have learned with interested people and continue to soak up as much information as possible like a sponge. Thanks to you and your team, and thank you to Christ for making the Hallelujah message so simple."

Gail Suleiman: "I would like to subscribe to your weekly Health Tip. I have been following the [Hallelujah] diet for nine months, and have lost an amazing 110 pounds. . . . Thank you very, very much!"
