Winning the Battle for the Body: Book Signing at LifeWay

Winning the Battle for the Body

Be at the LifeWay Christian Bookstore in Jackson, TN on Saturday, October 14th, from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. for Doug's book signing for his new book, Winning the Battle for the Body . The store is located at 1016 Union University Drive, on the campus of Union University just off the 45 Bypass. We hope to see you there! Doug will autograph books and answer questions about the book.  The book is available in most book stores and is on Amazon.com, as well as online at our web site at http://www.alphaomegafood.com/hallelujah-books.htm.

A great idea for your healthy library would be the trilogy of Winning the Battle for the Body, by Doug Polk, The Hallelujah Diet, by Rev. George Malkmus, and Simple Weekly Meal Plans by Marily Polk. By getting all three you have 1. Theological justification for returning to the plant based diet, 2. Definitive book describing the Hallelujah Diet & Lifestyle, and 3. A practical recipe book including weekly grocery lists and daily menus for preparing easy and great tasting meals on The Hallelujah Diet. We offer this trilogy online at the above web site at a 10% discount when ordering all three.

Please pray for these books to change the landscape of America and bring Christians back to health, vitality, and longevity.

 
Liver Cirrhosis Gone!
This testimony is amazing! Our students, Roger and Rose Ann Brauss have been faithful to our classes and support meetings for over two years. They have also been to Hallelujah Acres and the Lifestyle Center. Rose Ann shares this testimony. She said:

I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (Primary Biliary Cirrhosis) in 2002. It was in the 3rd stage.  The next step would be a liver transplant.  A few months later I learned about the Hallelujah Diet and completely changed my diet at that time.  The improvements to my health are as follows:

Stopped taking blood pressure medicine.  It is now 120/70 or less. Stopped taking cholesterol medication. My total cholesterol went from 236 to 176 mg/dl. I lost 20 lbs. No more dry eye syndrome. In the past four years, I have not been ill - no colds, flu, headaches, sore throat, etc. My blood tests for Primary Biliary Cirrhosis improved each year until today it is NORMAL. I am active every day walking 2-4 miles and weight lifting on alternate days. I encourage everyone to give it a try.

Rose Ann's disciplined lifestyle, faith, and perseverance have allowed her miraculous self healing body to heal itself of this fatal disease. Won't you try The Hallelujah Diet & Lifestyle to help your body to restore itself God's way? We are here to help you. Call us at 877-200-0862 or locally at 731-423-5313.
Spotlight On Grapes and Raisins

Grapes are a favorite at our house. We keep them on hand unless there are no grapes available in our grocery store. Grapes are a Biblical fruit and the grapevine is the source of the analogy the Lord Jesus used in showing how we are saved for service. "I am the Vine, ye are the branches," He said. We can bear much fruit if we are in Him, the scripture says.

Of course, the grape is one of the most delicious of all fruits, in my opinion. It is beautiful, inviting, and sweet, and full of great nutrition. Grapes are full of polyphenols, plant compounds that act as antioxidants and can protect you from heart disease and cancer. Grapes have fiber, vitamins, and important minerals like potassium, calcium, manganese, and iron.

The skin of grapes is very beneficial, so don't peel your grapes. The skin contains resveratrol, a type of plant estrogen, also called a phytoestrogen. Resveratrol fights inflammation and prevents blood clots. The skin of red grapes contain the powerful flavonoid quercetin. This antioxidant prevents LDL (bad) cholesterol buildup on arterial walls that can block blood flow and cause heart attacks and strokes.

Studies also show that eating grapes can offer strong defense against cancer because of the quercetin and other flavenoids in grapes and their skin. Red grapes are a great defense against macular degeneration because of the presence of carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin.

Be aware that bottled grape juice is a pasteurized juice that has been boiled, killing many live enzymes and phytochemicals. Fresh grape juice can be a nice addition to a healthy diet, except limit your juice to small quantities because of the high natural sugar content.  We recommend the Green Star Juicer. What a treat!

One more thing. Raisins are grapes that have been sun dried. They are still rich in nutrition and the dehydration has concentrated their power. Raisins are a great addition to salads along with raw nuts and seeds. Just be sure to use organic raisins because the commercial brands are sprayed and the spray will remain on the raisins. Good eating!

Be Prepared for Disasters (Repeated from last Issue)
Hurricane Katrina taught us many lessons, one of which is that we should be prepared for disasters. Of course we can't be totally prepared, but it's just common sense to make plans for those times when communication, food, water, and health care could become unavailable. Here are some suggestions and some of our products that would be a good addition to your survival list. The Office of Homeland Security says that we all should provide for four primary areas including 1.fresh water, 2.food, 3.clean air, and 4.warmth. A basic emergency supply kit should contain:

Pure Water: We recommend Waterwise Distillers to provide pure water for drinking and cooling in case the water supply is interrupted. We also have EcoQuest water filters which provide pure water on demand. Store enough water for several days for you and your family.

Non-perishable food for three days: Our Excalibur Dehydrator can provide enzyme-rich dehydrated foods that can be stored for months. BarleyMax, CarrotJuiceMax, and BeetMax from Hallelujah Acres can provide whole food dehydrated supplements to add to the nutrient-lacking canned foods in your emergency pantry. We love the Living Food Survival bars, which are actually meal-replacement bars, from Hallelujah Acres.

Hand-Cranked radios are great to have on hand as are extra batteries for other lights and electrical devices.

A First Aid Kit is a must: We also recommend Hallelujah Acres supplements (please use our Pin, ACO when ordering) and herbal personal care items that can help treat injuries or illness. B12-Flax-D can meet the need for a lack of sunshine, exercise and fiber. The ABC Liniment, Tee Tree Oil, and natural soaps are also good additions from H.A.

A Dust Mask: EcoQuest has a wonderful little device that can guarantee a clean germfree area within 3 feet of the facial area with the Fresh Air Buddy. The Buddy hangs around the neck and offers protection from dust, odors, viruses, bacteria, and other contaminants. It is battery powered and will last for 50 hours. A recharger kit is available also. Of course, we love our Fresh Air, which eliminates smoke, odors, and up to 99.9% of mold and bacteria on surfaces.

Check out the www.ready.gov site online for more suggestions on how to be prepared for unexpected emergencies. It could save your life or the lives of your loved ones. Call us for prices and ordering of any of our products that could help you to be prepared. Call toll free 877-200-0862 now.
