A Word from the LORD:
"I beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye
present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that ye may prove
what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Romans 12:1-2 KJV

Dramatic Discoveries About
Distilled Water
Last week's Health Tips from
Hallelujah Acres revealed a report by Dr.
Michael Donaldson that distilled
water does in fact leech organic
minerals from our bodies. This
fact changes our stance slightly on the
use of distilled water when
following The Hallelujah Diet & Lifestyle.
For those of you who do not
know Dr. Donaldson, he is the chemical
engineer with a doctorate from
Cornell University who does research
for Hallelujah Acres. He is a man
of integrity, a Christian, and a
well-respected scientist for the
Hallelujah Foundation. Dr.
Donaldson's research turned up
several studies done recently by the
World Health Organization and
several other research entities that
convincingly prove that
desalinated and distilled water does in fact
remove some minerals from the
body. The research revealed that
increased urine and mineral loss
resulted when humans drank distilled
water. Dr. Donaldson's article
can be read in its entirety by going to
<http://www.hacres.com>
and clicking on Resources/Articles menu item.
There you will find under the
Heading "General Health" the article
titled "Water - The Choice for
Long-Term Health".
Realize that we will continue
to recommend that those of you who are
on The Hallelujah Diet &
Lifestyle should use purified or distilled
water as usual, but should put
into the pure water some added organic
minerals. For the time being,
Hallelujah Acres is recommending a
product called "Dr. WilLArd's
Water XXX", which is a catalytic water,
patented and proclaimed
absolutely safe for human consumption. Dr.
WilLArd's Water XXX can be
ordered from Hallelujah Acres by calling
1-800-915-9355 and using our Pin,
ACO.
Marilyn and I have been using
only distilled water for seven years
with no apparent problems. Since
we get plenty of minerals from our
diet, we have no fear of being
deficient. But this new information
could enable us to achieve even
better health with little additional
expense or bother. Hallelujah
Acres is looking for a cheaper and
better source of minerals to add
to our distilled water. Look for more
on this subject as the weeks
progress.
.....................................................................
Focus On Spinach
Marilyn and I regularly add
spinach to our salads and even to our
carrot juice. Spinach is a
wonderful plant food that is sweet and
nutritious. Here is the scoop.
In the monumental book, The
China Study, Dr. T. Colin Campbell points
out that the diseases called
macular degeneration and cataracts are
caused by animal foods. Animal
products generate free radicals around
the macula which is the
bio-chemical intersection of the eye--where
the energy of the light coming in
is transformed into a nerve signal.
When this area is damaged by free
radicals blindness results . Two
studies he cites from experienced
researchers from prestigious
institutions conclude that foods
that contain carotenoids, vitamins A,
C, and E can protect against
these two eye diseases in the elderly.
The findings from these two
studies suggested that as much as 70-88%
of blindness caused by macular
degeneration could be prevented if the
right foods are eaten.
Carotenoids are the group of antioxidants found
in the colored parts of fruits
and vegetables. Foods such as broccoli,
carrots, spinach or collard
greens, winter squash and sweet potatoes
provide protection. The two that
provided the most protection were
spinach and collard greens. For
more on this subject, go to p. 213 in
The China Study. Purchase The
China Study at <http://www.hacres.com>
and please use our Pin, ACO and
tell them Doug & Marilyn sent you.
Dr. Russell Blaylock reports
that spinach also protects the DNA of our
cells and is one of the foods
called antimutagenic foods. Among the
68% of vegetables that exhibit
this antimutagenic effect, the
strongest of them are the
cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussels
sprouts, kale, and cauliflower)
as well as beets, chives, horseradish,
onions, rhubarb, and spinach.
We buy only organic spinach at
the local grocery to insure
pesticide-free leaves. We also
grow spinach in our back yard in our
raised bed. You can buy a raised
bed form from Hallelujah Acres by
calling them at 1-800-915-9355
and order. Remember to build your
organic dirt so that you are
growing live food in live dirt. A great
book to help with your garden is
"Square Foot Gardening", also
available at Hallelujah Acres.
Please use our Pin, ACO. When juicing
carrots we add a big bunch of
spinach gradually to our 20 lbs of
carrots and it adds to the flavor
and nutrition of our carrot juice.
It's great to go out into the
back yard a pick a bunch of spinach
leaves, fresh and nutritious. The
spinach plants just keep producing
for several months until they
bolt into seed. Call me for more
information on how to grow
spinach at 731-423-5313.

Where Do We Get Our Protein?
The question most asked of
vegans is "Where do you get your protein?"
Most people know that the
nutrient that is most responsible for body
growth and repair of muscles,
bones, skin, tendons, ligaments, hair,
eyes, and other tissues is
protein. Among other functions of proteins
are: enzymes for all body
functions, creation of antibodies for the
immune system, blood clotting,
and for energy, if necessary.
Protein is built by the body
from the 20 amino acids found in nature.
Eight of these amino acids are
called "essential" amino acids, because
the body cannot make them and
must get them from the foods we eat.
Nutritionists classify protein
food sources as "high quality" if the
food has the ability to provide
the right kinds and amounts of amino
acids to make our new proteins
when the old ones wear out. According
to Dr. T. Colin Campbell, the
highest quality protein would be from
other humans, but since we don't
eat human flesh, that's out of the
question. The next best source is
animal protein, which contains all
the essential amino acids. The
thing to remember, though, is that
along with the essential amino
acids in animal flesh is a trainload of
other substances including
cholesterol, saturated fat, excess iron,
hormones, chemicals, prions (mad
cow disease), and the fact that it
leaves an acid ash after
digestion. In addition, this animal protein
has been compared to the most
toxic carcinogen on earth, aflatoxin,
and found to be MORE cancer
promoting than aflatoxin. The next best
protein food on earth is of
course plant foods, which as a group
contain ALL the non-essential as
well as the essential amino acids
that our body needs. The new USDA
food guidelines admit this also,
that the plant based foods
contain all the necessary amino acids and
nutrients needed for health.
The Hallelujah Diet and
Lifestyle, when followed 100% can bring all
essential nutrients to your body
and allow it to heal itself of
virtually any disease. This is
our belief, because our Creator, God
Almighty, designed our body to
live and grow in health by consuming a
plant based diet with proper
exercise and rest. Won't you try it
today? Call us and find out how
to live with no fear of heart disease,
cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis,
arthritis, and any other degenerative
diseases that are common with the
animal based diets. Call 877-200-0862 today.

Help Us to Decide What to Put in
our Store!
Marilyn and I are busy getting
ready to open Alpha Omega Food, LLC
here in Jackson, TN. We are
needing input from our customers and
friends about what to include in
our store. Of course we have some
limitations but we want you to be
free to imagine what would be in our
store regardless of price or
space restrictions. Just give us a list
off the top of your head or from
the bottom of your heart. We would
appreciate it so much.
Marilyn and I envision a
Christian resource center where Christians
and their families can come for
refuge, support, culinary classes,
seminars, retreats, private
counseling, exercise, kitchen equipment,
tapes, DVD's, books, gifts, whole
food supplements, whole foods,
packaged foods, and maybe even a
juice bar.
Dream with us and offer
suggestions, please. We would love to hear
from you. Call us at 731-432-5313
or email us your ideas. Above all,
be in prayer for us that we would
follow the Lord's leadership and
direction in making our store a
beacon of His love and grace.
May God richly bless you and

Glorified Rice
A dear friend brought this dish
to our Pot Luck Support Group Meeting
Friday night and it was enjoyed
by all. Here it is:
Combine and chill:
1/2 cup mandarin oranges, drained
1 small can crushed pineapple
(packed in its own juice), drained
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I keep
soaked, dehydrated nuts and seeds in
my freezer so when a recipe calls
for them, they are readily available)
1 cup organic brown rice which
has been cooked and cooled (If you will
follow the directions on page 45
of my book, your rice will be perfect
every time.)
1 cup unsweetened coconut (health
food store)
1 cup cashew cream (See
directions below)
1/2 cup diced bananas, optional
1/2 cup diced apples, optional
Cashew Cream:
3/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup rice milk
1 cup raw cashews
3 tablespoons raw honey
2 teaspoons Frontier vanilla
Blend until smooth. (I use a
Vita-Mix.) This will thicken when it is
chilled. Use the leftover cream
to serve over fresh fruit, as a
topping for the scrumptious
Almond Butter Carob Pie, or the Avocado
Carob Pudding. Both the pie and
the pudding can be found in Rhonda's
new Holiday recipe book.
