Barley and Hallelujah Diet

The hallelujah diet is an organic raw food, vegetarian diet, and weight loss diet for immune system health and natural healing. It restores the immune system.       

The Hallelujah Diet by Rev. George Malkmus         

People often ask me, "What do you eat?" Here is my answer:          

Breakfast         

One tablespoon of Barley powder either dry and let it dissolve in my mouth, or in a couple of ounces of distilled water at room temperature. That is usually all I have until noon! If I do get hungry, then I may eat a piece of fresh juicy fruit later in the morning. Cooked food is an absolute no-no as my body is in a cleansing mode until about noon each day. The Barley caplets can be dissolved in the mouth like a lozenge, however. I enjoy them in this form, especially while traveling.          

Lunch        

One tablespoon of Barley powder, as at breakfast and sometimes I stir my Barley into 8 ounces of freshly extracted carrot juice, which I find especially delicious and extremely nutritious. At least a half hour after the Barley, I prefer an all-raw fruit lunch: a banana, apple, dates, etc. Organic is always best when available.(Sometimes I have a vegetable salad for lunch instead of the fruit.) It is important that this be an all raw meal!          

Supper         

One tablespoon of Barley powder either dry or in a couple ounces of distilled water or in carrot juice. Carrot juice must be freshly extracted, never canned, bottled or frozen. Then, at least 30 minutes after the Barley, I eat a large green vegetable salad of leaf lettuce (never head lettuce), broccoli, cauliflower, celery, carrots, etc. I enjoy adding half an avocado in most of my vegetable salads. This is usually followed by some cooked food (baked potato, baked sweet potato, brown rice, steamed vegetables, whole grain pasta, whole grain bread, and so on). Later in the evening I often have a glass of organic apple juice or a piece of juicy fruit. (My diet consists of approximately 85 percent raw food, and 15 percent cooked food.)    

Exercise is also an essential part of my program. I do at least one hour of vigorous exercise daily. Additionally, I try to get some sunshine on as much of my body as possible every day.   

To be sure I get the essential fatty acids needed by my body, I also have one tablespoon of Udo's Choice Perfected Blend Oil. I either have this on my evening salad or straight out of the bottle.  

*The reason I supplement my diet with young Barley grass is that our food today is being grown for the most part on very deficient soils that often lack all the nutrients my body needs for building new, strong, healthy, vital, vibrant cells. Barley is grown organically and contains the widest spectrum of nutrients available today from a single source that I am aware of. It is also loaded with enzymes. I consider it the single most important food I put in my body each day and always consume at least 3 tablespoons of it a day.  

**The second-most important thing I put into my body each day is freshly extracted carrot juice made from large California juicing carrots in a Green Power Juicer. I try to drink at least 16 to 24 ounces each day. When I had my colon cancer 20 years ago, I consumed 32 to 64 ounces of carrot juice each day. If I had a serious physical problem today I would consume up to eight 8-ounce glasses of carrot juice each day in addition to my three to four tablespoons of Barley. The reason young Barley grass and carrot juice is so important to me is:   

1. Cooked food has practically no nutritional value. 

2. A large percentage of the nutrients in raw food are lost in the digestion process, with only 1 to 35 % of nutrients reaching cell level, depending on the health of the digestive system. 

3. When vegetable juices or Barley is consumed, up to 92% of the nutrients reach cell level. This is because the pulp has been removed and thus no digestion is necessary. Raw vegetable juices are the fastest way to nourish the cells and rebuild the immune system and essential body organs.

In 1962, Dr. Frank Logsdon, former pastor of the famous Moody Memorial Church in Chicago, was a dinner guest in my home. Over the dinner table, he told a fascinating story of how he had had cancer and -- rather than going the medical route -- had gone to the Page Institute in Tampa, Florida. At this institute, he was told to remove five white foods from his diet, and to switch to a raw vegetarian / fruitarian diet. He had done this and his cancer disappeared! Dr. Logsdon was about 60 years old at the time he was in my home. Several years ago, I learned he was still preaching . . . which would put his age close to 90 now!

THE 5 WHITES TO AVOID      

Interestingly, the five white foods he was told had caused his cancer are the same foods my research has shown to be causing most of our physical problems.

What are the five white foods causing our physical problems? I will list them, starting with the most dangerous substance we put into our body . . . MEAT!       

MEAT contains white fat! The average American meat eater puts over 50 pounds of fat (cholesterol) into their body per year! This fat clogs the arteries, ultimately causing the heart attacks and strokes that will kill approximately 50 percent of our population. Meat is also the culprit in causing colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and other forms of cancer. Cancer is responsible for 33 percent of American deaths. And meat is the primary cause of adult-onset diabetes, which kills 9 percent of our population. Meat also causes gout and arthritis and a host of other physical problems. We are told that we need meat for protein and strength, but we are not told that the cooking of meat changes the molecular structure of the protein and renders the protein in meat unusable by the body. If we look to nature, we will find that there is not a single animal in the wild that cooks the flesh it eats! Seventeen years of research has revealed meat as it is produced today to be the single most dangerous food that we put into our body. I have not eaten any meat in 17 years.  

DAIRY is the second most dangerous substance we can put into our bodies for many of the same reasons. We are told milk is the perfect food, and needed for calcium. But we are not told that the pasteurizing of milk (heating it to temperatures of 160 degrees or higher) changes the calcium to an inorganic form, which cannot be assimilated by the body.  In nature, no animal pasteurizes its milk... and no animal drinks the milk of another species, nor does it ever drink milk after the age of weaning. The only source of bad cholesterol (LDL) is animal products! ANIMAL PRODUCTS ARE NOT GOOD FOOD!  

SALT is another white substance that creates untold physical problems and suffering. The body needs sodium, but it must be in an organic form in order to be usable by the body. Table salt, sodium chloride, is an inorganic sodium compound formed by the union of sodium and chlorine that is extremely toxic to the body, causing it to retain fluid in an effort to keep this protoplasmic poison in suspension and out of the cells. 

SUGAR is the fourth white substance creating our physical problems. Sugar is so changed and concentrated from its original plant form... that it is actually a drug! Just 10 teaspoons (approximately the amount found in one soft drink) will immobilize the immune system by about 33 percent. Approximately 30 teaspoons of sugar will shut down the immune system for a whole day.  

WHITE FLOUR has had all the good substances (bran and germ) removed during processing. Then it is bleached, sometimes with a bleaching agent similar to Clorox. Finally, they add some coal-tar-derived (carcinogenic) vitamins and it is sold to the unsuspecting public as "enriched." WHITE FLOUR IS NOT GOOD FOOD... IN FACT IT IS HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH!
