How you read food labels may prevent you from eating poison!

I was watching the news today and the anchor announced a story about reading food labels and my insides churned. One thing about me; ignorant anchors make me want to hit the television!! I really want to share knowledge about eating the right type of foods and these misinformed actors point you in the wrong direction.
So what is so wrong with reading labels? There really is little wrong with reading labels and I encourage you to so you know what you are about to put in your body. The mistake lies in the purpose of picking up a can to gaze at the label. What are you looking for? Instead of looking for measurements of calories, proteins, carbs, etc. (which are announced all over the media by so called “experts” and “role models”) we should be looking at what INGREDIENTS THAT MAKE THIS FOOD UP.
I am sure a car tire has calories, proteins, and carbs… ARE YOU GOING TO EAT THAT!!!. We need to change our habit of counting to realizing what are good and bad ingredients in the foods. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE ARE GOING TO PREVENT SICKNESS AND ACHIEVE LEANER, STRONGER, MORE ENERGETIC VESSELS. I hope this is clear to you and would be very interested to hear your comments. Please email me and we can discuss.

Health Nodes Introduction

“What the heck are Health Nodes?” you ask. I got this idea from a great book I just finished called “Millionaire Mind” by T. Harv Eker. He does an amazing job of helping one to see how success in anything can be achieved by simply changing the way you think. He focuses on Rich people and how thinking like rich people can open your eyes to new possibilities. So that got me thinking about success in the health arena.
I have struggled with sharing information about health and my lifestyle because it seems not to be the most popular way of eating or living. I have noticed that people that will accept such a message are those who want to hear it. Those who want excellence in their lives in all areas. Those who are willing to sacrifice the pleasure of the moment for the greater purpose.
Therefore, I am going to devote some time in my blogs to writing what I call Health Nodes. They will share the differences about how healthy people think compared to unhealthy. Hopefully, by reading these, you will see where you sit in this realm and open your mind to new possibilities of success.
We are all programmed in a certain way from how we were raised and what we experienced growing up. From this programming comes the way we make choices to be or not to be healthy. These, like files in computer, are the nodes that make up our health blueprint . So by addressing the wrong type of nodes we can then change the programming of our mind so that we can set ourselves up for a failure-free healthy lifestyle. Stay tuned for the first health node.

: It has just all-around been an EXCITING experience!

Dr. Malkmus, After picking up your book, God's Way to Ultimate Health, in our local Health Food store in late September, my husband and I made the commitment to do a 90- day trial. As skeptical as I was, we made the diet change October 1, 2007. After only one month on the diet, between the two of us, here is what we wrote down as the changes we noticed: SLEEP LIKE A BABY (so sound and refreshing); MORE ENERGY; LOSS OF JOINT PAIN IN THUMB, KNEE, SHOULDERS, HANDS NO LONGER STIFF OR NUMB IN THE MORNING; SKIN SOFTER; BREAST LUMPS HAD DISAPPEARED; ECZEMA GONE; SOME WEIGHT LOSS; more fun with food variety, taste, and learning new recipes. It has just all-around been an EXCITING experience! Looking forward to what additional improvements we will notice as we continue the diet in 2008.

My Journey

The other day I shared the story of the founder of Hallelujah Acres. I hope you enjoyed reading about his story. There are so many similar stories that come into H.Acres that are inspiring and uplifting. He has affected many lives with his teachings about health and I want to share about mine.
After reading a book called “Why Christian’s Get Sick”, I was challenged to make some changes in my diet and lifestyle. I noticed more improvement than any other diet change I had ever tried before. A few months later I looked at the back of the book to order some recipe books and realized that H. Acres was located in my wife’s hometown. So we went down to the store and bought a few things. I noticed that there was a health seminar going on. I inquired and the next week we went and were astonished at the amazing information being shared. We left for a while and then came back and trained to be Health Ministers of H. Acres.
This has definitely been one of the most remarkable adventures of my life. I have grown a passion to help those who are sick and share information about unbelievable ways of living that can help you to live every day feeling great. I encourage you to email me and say hi so I can share my wealth of information with you.

Introducing Hallelujiah Acres (www.hacres.com)

I came across Hallelujah Acres almost four years ago after reading a book that changed my life. It is was written by author and founder of the company, George Malkumus. Through his experience he has learned much about nutrition and has devoted his life to sharing the message. I want to write a few blogs about this great man. Here is an excerpt from his latest health tip (email me if you would like to be sent this free weekly email).
“And sure-enough, in 1976, at the age of 42, I was told I had colon cancer, and in 2001, at age 67, suffered a stroke. In 1976, when I was told I had colon cancer, ratherthan going the medical route my mom had gone before me for her cancer with devastating results, I opted for "The Hallelujah Diet”. Within one year of making the dietchange, my cancer was gone and has remained gone for 32- years.
I recommend reading the rest of his story… please email me if you are interested.

Testimony Time: Chris survives Disease

"My name is Chris and I live in Melbourne, Victoria,Australia. Six years ago I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin'sLymphoma, which had obstructed both urethras of my kidneysand caused much damage - the right one was barelyfunctioning. Stents were inserted for 3 months. After acourse of C.H.O.P. chemotherapy, I had expected to besomewhat improved, however I never recovered. After a fewmonths as I was crying out to God for my 'way of escape',three people mentioned to me about the Hallelujah Diet®. Iread some material and I admit I was extremely skepticalbut could not shake the idea that this was indeed God's wayof escape for me. I began the diet in November 2001. TodayI am well and strong - back into fulltime work and soenjoying my life. Was it easy? NO! I had many times ofwanting to quit but as the months passed, I certainlyreaped the benefits of excellent eating and will continueto do so.
