Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn Proves Plant Based Diet Power "In 1985, frustrated with the absence of aggressive preventive medicine, he initiated his studies on ART (Arrest and Reversal Treatment) therapy in coronary artery disease. In 1995 his bench mark long-term nutritional research arresting and reversing coronary artery disease progression in patients severely ill with coronary artery disease was published. That same study is now updated at 12 years, making it one of the longest longitudinal studies of its type. It is most compelling as no compliant patients have sustained disease progression." Marilyn and I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful doctor who couldn't sit by and see patients die needlessly of cardio vascular disease. He shared with us last week at the Hallelujah Acres Annual Health Minister Reunion how even slight cheating on a plant based diet could be deadly. Dramatically illustrated was the fact that his fellow doctor friend suffered a heart attack with a total cholesterol level of only 156. He pointed out that its not just the total cholesterol levels that we should be concerned with but also the LDL, HDL, and Triglyceride levels. His diet of plant based foods and minimal medication to lower blood pressure has resulted in complete reversal of heart disease to a "heart attack proof" state. In fact, his web site is titled . Go there and read the story of this doctor who has had great success with a diet much like the Hallelujah Diet. Getting off all animal products as well as salt and oils can get you on the right track to healing. Even olive oil should be avoided because it contains no minerals, no vitamins, just fat. Add back to the diet fruits and vegetables and very minimal nuts and seeds and the heart and vascular system can return to health. What a refreshing experience it was to hear such wisdom from a medical doctor. He says we must know our numbers, that is your cardio numbers. Get checked. The A.H.A. says that normal numbers should be Total Chol. = <200, LDL = <100, HDL >40. But Dr. Esselstyn says that the numbers should be Total = <150, LDL = <80, and HDL = >40. He says triglycerides should be below 150 and our blood glucose should be below 85. And we should get our numbers checked every two months. .............................................................................. Author of "Eat to Live" Comes to Hallelujah Acres Dr. Joel Fuhrman, whose book, "Eat to Live", has been reviewed by brother Malkmus for several months in his weekly newsletter came to the annual Health Minister Reunion and continued his teachings on the value of the plant based diet and lifestyle. His medical practice in New Jersey turns out thousands of patients who lose weight, overcome diabetes, and other major illnesses through following his plan of fasting from the worlds processed foods and putting into their bodies fruits and vegetables nuts and seeds. This former olympic skating champion told us that weapons of mass destruction W.O.M.D. are on every street corner of America as burger, pizza, chicken, and barbecue restaurants. He says that 56% of firemen die of heart attacks. Over 60% of Americans are overweight and we get 51% of calories from processed foods, 42% from animal products, and only 7% of our calories from fruits and vegetables. Half of the 7% is potatoes from french fries and loaded baked potatoes, so actually we only get 3 1/2% of calories from fruits and vegetables. His formula for health is N/C or Nutrition per Calorie. We must raise the N and lower the C for health. Eating less calories in a nutrient-rich diet will bring weight loss. "Man lives on 2/3 of what he eats and the doctor lives on the other 1/3". There are 27 anti-cancer substances in natural plant foods. Praise the Lord for raising up these two fine doctors to help us to realize that "We don't have to be sick!" ............................................................................. America's #1 Pollution Problem The following are excerpts taken from The Silent Killers by Peter Billac "...80 percent of what's inside your house is dead human skin, and the rest isn't any better. There are also DUST MITES throughout your home and a single ounce of dust supports FORTY-TWO THOUSAND of them!" "...a 1,500 square foot home...can generate FORTY POUNDS of dust annually. This computes ... to almost 27 MILLION dust mites!" "BACTERIA live in your kitchen sink, behind and on your counter top, range, in your refrigerator, bathroom, in your heating and cooling system, on the floor, in your bed and everywhere else in your home. MOLD SPORES are found in heating and air-conditioning systems, in damp clothing, carpet and drapes, wet sheet rock, in basements, under the house, in bathrooms and in kitchens. Mold spores can cause asthma attacks, allergies, sinus headaches, irritability and depression." "That great smell from new carpets, drapes, upholstery and furniture is pleasing, isn't it? Well, what that 'pleasing smell' really is, is chemical fumes and noxious gases that are permeating everything they come into contact with." "On construction sites (new or remodeled homes for instance) paints, plywood and particle board from cabinets, counter tops and paneling emit chemical fumes, noxious gases and odors. Even furniture polish, ammonia and other cleaning products used in the home produce harmful chemical vapors and harsh fumes." So what is the answer to all of these indoor problems? Living Air and Fresh Air units from EcoQuest International, the world's #1 distributor of air purification technology. These air products are not medical devices - we treat environments; not people. They do remove particulates from the air which aggravate various breathing problems, such as allergies, asthma, sinusitis, hay fever, etc, treating the source of the problem, rather than merely the symptoms. Could this be an alternative to buying expensive medications with their numerous, potentially harmful side-effects?

Keep tuned in to this newsletter and we will give more information as it becomes available. ............................................................................ BarleyMax Process is the Best Uri Labaron explained to us the process of changing barley grass into BarleyMax powder. The organically grown barley is cut, cooled to 34 degrees F., washed, juiced and then introduced into giant drying towers that do their magic in less than 30 seconds at less than 98 degrees F. This speed of dehydration prevents oxidation and results in very high concentrations of enzymes and phytochemicals. The process is called the Bio-complete Instant-dry process and it is patented. The other two methods of changing barley into powder, freeze drying and spray drying, are less desirable because of excess heat and time of treatment. Uri assured us that constant monitoring and measuring assure us that the BarleyMax, CarrotMax, and BeetMax are the best available anywhere. Marilyn and I never miss a day without our BarleyMax.
