AlphaOmegaFood LLC Being Organized!

Please pray with Marilyn and me about our new business name and
location. After almost seven years based at home, we believe that God
wants us to have a local West Tennessee store front in Jackson. We are
busy making preparations to open a store sometime this year. It is a
huge undertaking. We need your prayers and support. Our company is
organizing as a Limited Liability Company with partners who will
contribute capital for financing the company as well as receive
benefits from profits. If you would like information on how to become
a partner with us, please send us an email or call us at 877-200-0862
or locally at 423-5313. We envision a Resource Center here in Jackson,
Tennessee where we would have a variety of healthy products that
contribute to The Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle. Our store would have
a retail section with books, videos, machines, appliances, foods,
supplements, and complements to the Diet. We would also have a
classroom where we could teach the "Get Healthy" classes as well as
culinary classes. Personal health counseling would be available in our
store in a private setting with Doug Polk, Doctor of Naturopath. We
are looking for just the right location in this busy, retail center of
West Tennessee. We humbly ask that you please pray for us, as we take
an enormous leap of faith.  We will maintain our web site, but with a
fresh, new look. Please email us with your encouragement. It means so
much to us to get support from our customers, clients, and friends.
May God bless you.

What's So Bad About Meat?

Every day we are bombarded with advertising about chicken, burgers,
pizza, fish, shrimp, and other flesh foods that are so normal for
Americans. Most people eat meats every meal. For breakfast, it's
sausage and biscuits or ham and biscuits. For lunch, meat is on almost
every menu item. For dinner, meat is the main course. All meals and
all menus are anchored by the meat. It seems that the food industry is
convinced that meat is healthy.

But the best science says otherwise. What is in meat that is so
dangerous? O.K. Here is my list.

1. The China Study points out that the animal protein,casein, which is
present in all meats (including all dairy products), is a powerful
promoter of the growth of cancer cells.
2. The same study also points out that with only minimal addition of
meats, the degenerative diseases show up.
3. Meat contains prions, mutated proteins that cause Mad Cow Disease
in humans, the symptoms of which mimic Alzheimer's disease.
4. Meat stresses the liver since it is loaded with cholesterol.
Plant-based foods contain no cholesterol, since the liver makes just
the right amount.
5. The cholesterol in meats clogs arteries, causing plaque buildup,
resulting in hypertension, strokes, heart attacks, and death.
6. Meat is loaded with chemicals, such as taste enhancers, antibiotics,
and growth hormones.
7. Meat can't be eaten by itself. It must have sauces, gravies,
seasonings, etc. to be enjoyed. Ever eaten a piece of meat without any
seasonings or sauces?
8. Meat is not necessary for essential amino acids. The plant foods
are complete, even without combining certain foods to achieve the essentials.
9. Meat eating is not macho. Studies show that meat eating lowers male
potency (sperm count reduced).
10. The perfect diet in the Bible is the original diet from Genesis
1:29. We can get close to it with The Hallelujah Diet & Lifestyle.

Spotlight on Broccoli

Broccoli is one of the most beneficial vegetables you can eat! This
dark green has twice as much vitamin C as oranges, and is a good
source of vitamin A, potassium, and calcium. It is a great cancer
fighter too, along with the other cruciferous veggies like
cauliflower, cabbage, and brussel sprouts. One element in broccoli,
indole-3-carbinol, can stop the growth of breast cancer, according to
a University of California at Berkley research project. It's also good
for lowering blood pressure because of its high content of potassium,
calcium, vitamin C, and magnesium. If that's not enough, realize that
broccoli can improve heart health by fighting artery-damaging amino
acid homocysteine. If you have watched the video "The Miraculous
Self-Healing Body" you know that Dr. Joel Fuhrman points out that
broccoli has almost twice the protein per calorie than steak. If you
have a sprouter, try sprouting some broccoli, since the lutein in
broccoli can increase your anti-oxidant store in your body to fight
free radicals. Marilyn and I love raw broccoli in our salads!  Check
out the broccoli recipes that Marilyn has in her book "Hallelujah!
Simple Weekly Meal Plans" at our web site <http://www.alphaomegafood.com>.

Idols In Our Temples (Excerpt from Doug's book)

In II Kings 21:7 and in II Chronicles 33:3 we are told that King
Manasseh made and put into the temple idols that desecrated the temple
of Jehovah.  As the Southern Kingdom progressed more and more toward
destruction and captivity, so waned the presence of the Spirit of God
in His temple.  After the captivity of Judah in Babylon, the prophet
Ezekiel was shown in a vision the process of desecration of the temple
and the priests as recorded in Ezekiel 8:13-14.

"He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater
abominations that they do. Then he brought me to the door of the gate
of the LORD’S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat
women weeping for Tammuz."

As I read Matthew Henry’s commentary on this passage, I was struck by
the similarities then and now.  Tammuz, one of the idols of the
Assyrians, was mourned because he died.  This passage showed that one
of the four sins of the desecrated temple was shown to be an idol of
death.  This idol of Judah can be compared to the idols of our day.

"An abominable thing indeed that any should choose rather to serve an
idol in tears than to serve the true God with joyfulness and gladness
of heart!"

What idols are keeping us from the Lord of Lords?  Could it be that we
are trusting in drugs and doctors more than in the Living God and His
perfect diet?  How my heart breaks each time I hear of a saint who has
resolved to follow the doctor’s orders and submit to deadly radiation,
chemotherapy, and surgery or to a life of dangerous drugs and prison
in rest homes!  How discouraging it is to a Health Minister for fellow
brothers and sisters in Christ to be totally oblivious to the highly
probable deliverance from disease waiting for the disciplined return
to God’s original diet and lifestyle!. What a shame it is for a
soldier of the cross to give up the fight for life because of a lack
of faith in the miraculous self-healing body given to us by the Master
Designer. Plant based foods have proven to be effective in
strengthening the immune system so that it can defeat cancer cells.
Getting off dangerous animal fat and cholesterol will restore freely
flowing blood to our heart and arteries, bringing renewed vigor and
health. Try it for 21 days. Call us at 877-200-0862 to get started.

Marilyn's Layered Mexican Casserole
NOTE: Doug recently discovered an error in this recipe the other day
when he was making it for our dinner. ( I usually make it from memory
so I had not noticed this before.) In my book it is stated that you
add 1/4 cup bulgur wheat, but that should be 1/2 cup instead.  Here is
the recipe:
Layer the following in a 9" by 13" dish that has been lightly sprayed
with olive oil.
1. 2 cups warm, mashed beans*
2. 3 whole wheat tortilla shells, warmed and cut into bite-size pieces
3. Arrowhead Mills Organic Bulgur Wheat prepared as follows: Boil
1-1/2 cups of water. Add 1/2 cup bulgur wheat and 1/4 package Simply
Organic Taco Mix. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let set
for 15 minutes.
4. Lettuce that has been torn. (Never use iceberg lettuce as it has
very little nutrition.)
5. Chopped tomatoes
6. Chopped onions
7. Sliced black olives
8. Salsa
9. Grated cheese substitute (optional)
* If you are in a hurry, use the canned, vegetarian refried beans or
organic black beans, reserving a little of the water and mash. A
better choice would be to use dried black or turtle beans. Soak
overnight, drain, cover with distilled water, and 1/4 teaspoon Celtic
Sea Salt and simmer 1-1/2 hours. Mash with a little of the water and
use in recipe. My family loves this dish!
This recipe comes from "Hallelujah! Simple Weekly Meal Plans" by
Marilyn Polk. Order at 1-800-915-9355 and use our Pin, ACO. Thanks.
