The Hallelujah Diet - Bible Based Vegan Diet for Ultimate Health

(Presented by Rev. George Malkmus, Lit. D. on December 4, 2010 in Shelby, North Carolina. Notes below taken by Hub Author Petertheknight.)

So my family and I drove about 4-5 hours to Shelby, NC to see Dr. George Malkmus give a health seminar on the Hallelujah Diet. There were several hundred people in attendance and it was a very well put together event.

It started out with Dr. Malkmus running out on stage with some goofy, bright white sneakers. (They had these weird springs on the bottom.) I made a note to ask him about them later. Turns out they are called something like z-coil and they help with the stress that is put on your knees and body.

The first thing he did was ask people who had already tried the Hallelujah Diet to give testimonials on what it had done for them. So he walked around with his microphone and it was amazing what some of these people have accomplished. One lady was cured of her breast cancer. Other people had lost large amounts of weight…some even 115+ which is an amazing accomplishment. People had other symptoms and such and have been cured or relieved of them. Even George himself had colon cancer and he decided to look into health and to incorporate his religious views to create the Hallelujah Diet. He was healed of his cancer and that was over 30 years ago. He is now a 77 year old man, and I have to say I am impressed with how much energy he has.

One of the first points that he makes is that the body is quite capable of healing itself. He also mention how he thought the Bible was primarily a spiritual book, but as he began to study he saw that God had a plan for health both spiritually and physically.

He then goes into his opinion that there are serious problems in our health care system, and how there are drugs for every symptom that you can think of. He strongly disagrees with using these drugs. They can only cover up the symptoms and not the actual cause of the disease. These dangerous drugs all have side effects, which cause more symptoms, and therefore you get prescribed a new drug. He then makes a big statement that if we could get everyone on the Hallelujah diet that we could essentially put the drug companies out of business. (I mean these Hallelujah Acre people think BIG and they are very passionate about their diet!)

He states that Biblically Noah and people before the flood were on an all-vegan diet. It wasn’t until people were on the ark that God gave Noah permission to eat animal flesh. (And it is George’s opinion that the purpose at that time was for survival purposes only.) He states that once man starting eating meat that they could not leave it alone after that. So, God sends a plague(s). I’m not sure how correct this is based on the Bible but it is an opinion to consider nevertheless.

The first thing he suggests is to remove meat and dairy from your diet. He states that it is now and will cause your body harm. He states that meat and animal products are the main cause of disease and obesity.

Before I go on with this review you should know that I have direct quotes that should be word for word if not very close to what Dr. George Malkmus said during his seminar on December 4, 2010 in Shelby, NC. So, therefore assume that all quotations from here out are quotes or very close paraphrases of what he said. I tried to capture his most dynamic remarks.

“…[the Hallelujah Diet] is the best weight loss cure on Earth,” states Dr. Malkmus. For me, I could believe that if not for the simple fact that you are removing the meat and dairy and both of these “food” items are full of fat and people tend not eat too large of portions.

He then states that it’s only the liquid in the juice that is nutritionally based. The fiber part does nothing for the body. He even goes on to say that the fiber needs to be separating before drinking/eating, otherwise too much energy is taken to separate the fiber from the juice once it is inside the body. Freshly prepared juices (such as carrot) are obviously one of the most important aspects of the Hallelujah Diet. He makes that quite clear.

“How do you get life from death?” (He asked this question when referring to nutritionally dead foods.)

He does spend quite a bit of time going into his personal religious views, which I didn’t find quite necessary to the diet, but he does view his business as an actual ministry. (So I suppose it is quite appropriate.)

After a little while he goes on a spill about a mother’s breast milk and how we have tried to improve on what God has already set up. He totally disagrees with the uses of formulas. These baby formulas he states cause ear infections and other sickness because the child’s body cannot process the “poisons” that are contained in the formula. He then says that it gets worse because parents take their children to the doctors and then they get prescribed drugs, which as he stated earlier is detrimental to your health and causes even more complications.

“The world’s way is not God’s way,” he passionately states.

The world is overweight due to the fact that we do not follow God’s laws for what we put in our bodies. He makes his point by saying that you will never see a fat deer in the wild. Why? It is because they are following the diet that God intended for them.

“Our body is constantly being renewed,” he states about living cells. “ALL COOKED FOOD IS DEAD FOOD.” This is another main point of his presentation. New cells are dependent on the food we give them. He states that because of this dead cooked food diet that he had to get corrective lenses. “My eyes continued to deteriorate,” and as he stayed on this cooked food diet his eye sight got worse and he had to continually get new prescription eye glasses frequently. But after he started eating fresh non-cooked foods he was eventually able to see perfectly without his eye glasses. He now has no aches or pains and states, “I probably go to bed with more energy than the average American wakes up with.”

It is important to note that the Hallelujah Diet is 85% raw and 15% cooked foods. He goes on to saw that once you have eaten the raw foods that you can eat all you want of the cooked foods.

Okay, so now is the part of the presentation where he says he will now take away everything you love to eat. (He jokes frequently about this, but once you hear what he has to say you will not want to eat any of this stuff. Trust me!)

1. Animal Products – Beef, chicken, pork, fish, and dairy products

Dr. Malkmus makes a very bold statement that “if you would remove animal products from your diet, you will almost completely eliminate your chance of getting cancer or type II diabetes. It’s a fat issue.” Wow! I could believe this because do you know what the the food industry feeds and injects into these animals? (On a side note I would suggest you educate yourself by watching the documentary Food Inc.)

“The world’s way is going to lead us to an early grave.” Basically what you put into your body will determine what problems or functions you will have. We are being destroyed by lack of knowledge.

There is nothing wrong with cow milk, but it is not for humans. (It is for the baby calf.) The calcium in the milk makes the body acidic. (So basically it does the body no good.)

He talks about protein and how we are falsely told that we need animal protein to build muscle. He proves his point by flexing his muscles on stage and dancing around a bit. That got the crowd going.

2. Sugar

“Sugar is an immune system suppresser.” Sugar is in everything…cereal, soda, and other foods. These foods cause dangerous psychological problems with children. (Problems such as ADD and HDHD are caused by diet and being fed sugar.)

When you or a loved one has a symptom, he begs you to look for the solution. He testifies of his Hallelujah Diet and gives some examples of people who had psychological problems…even people that had 20+ different problems. All of these problems were taken care of because of proper diet, even serious “diseases” such as Bipolar Manic Depression.

“Sugar is an addictive drug. One can of soda pop per day will add 15 pounds of weight in a year.”

3. White flour and white flour products

What I found disgusting about these white flour products is that sometimes these bread companies use chlorine bleach to dye the bread! (Crazy, right?)

4. Table Salt

He states that it is highly toxic. (Some types of natural sea salts are okay.)

5. Caffeine

He does not spend a lot of time on caffeine. (This discussion goes back into sugar and why it is toxic and addictive.)

Below are some more important points he makes:

“Temperature affects life and the foods you eat.” Once you go over a certain temperate then that food becomes dead. “We have been killing our foods for a long, long time.” He backs up these statements with results from the Pottenger Experiment. In this experiment there were two groups that were given the same foods except one group was given it in cooked form and the other in raw. After 9 years, the group that had consumed the cooked foods developed many problems with the heart and other sicknesses. The group partaking of the raw foods had little to no physical problems. He also states that it can affect sexual function and the ability for couples to have children.

“Exercise is just as important as a proper diet.”

“Physical problems are not caused by genes, but by diets and lifestyle.”

“The only source of fiber is plant-based foods.” Without proper diet, it will cause problems like constipation. God gave us a self-healing body. What we put on our bodies is absorbed, such as deodorant … which often contains aluminum. “We are destroying our temple.”

And so, finally, we come to the end of the seminar and he enters into a question and answer session. I have to say that Mr. Malkmus was a great presenter and I really enjoyed his conviction. You can tell that he truly cares about helping others reach their ultimate health potential.
