My kitchen looked very different before starting the Hallelujah Diet. My countertop had a canister set with white flour, white sugar, and caffeine tea.  It was also home to a coffee maker, which I used every day and a mixer for making cakes.

My pantry was filled with dead, highly-processed packaged, bottled, and canned items (notice that I do not refer to these as "foods"!) We drank water straight from the faucet along with an abundance of sugary drinks and sodas.

I frequently used an electric skillet, a deep fryer, and aluminum cookware.  My freezer was well-stocked with meats and convenience "foods".  My selection of foods was based on 2 things: taste and ease of preparation.  It's a wonder we're still alive!

I'll be very honest with you - it was difficult in the beginning to part with some of my favorite "foods" and appliances.  I held on to them for several months until I finally came to the realization that as long as these dangerous "foods" and appliances were in my kitchen, I was never going to have lasting success on this Diet.

With my husband's full support, I filled several large garbage bags with already opened junk food; unopened unhealthy items went to our local soup kitchen.  I wrestled with this for a while, but after working at the soup kitchen myself several times, I know that hungry people will eat just about anything and I can't change the world.
 
So if you have been "playing around" with this Diet, I urge you to get serious about it and renovate your kitchen once and for all, replacing the deadly foods with healthy alternatives.

It has been my goal since changing my diet over 8 years ago, to have a healthy home in every way possible from the water we drink and the food we eat to the cleanest and most sanitary clothes and air possible.  I thank God to be affiliated with a wonderful company which specializes in "healthy living technologies".  Our Fresh Air by EcoQuest International is very quiet, yet very powerful, providing healthy home insurance 24/7.  This amazing machine has been scientifically proven to not only eliminate odors and smoke, but more importantly, it kills up to 99.99% of mold, viruses, and bacteria on surfaces.  This includes germs which I refer to as the dangerous 3 s's - staph, strep, and salmonella,

Unless you are "supermom" and can spray and wipe down everything in your home with toxic chemicals (who wants to do that?!), you are fighting a losing battle.  That's why we have a Fresh Air which silently and effortlessly kills germs continuously.  This purified air circulates with our central air to treat all of the air in our lower level.  Since we don't have an HVAC system for our daughter's upstairs bedroom, we have an EcoBox from EcoQuest in her room; it treats up to 1,500 square feet from one location.

I absolutely love my Laundry Pure from EcoQuest! It uses oxygen and peroxides to lift dirt and odors from my wash with cold water only.  I never use hot or warm water anymore and the best part is that I no longer have to purchase detergent or bleach.  This machine, which sits behind and above my washing machine, also kills germs with the power of silver ions.  Our clothes and linens are softer, fluffier, and are retaining their vivid colors.  This device gives off a beautiful light when it is running. 

Doug has installed Sprite shower filters on all 3 of our showerheads.  Did you know that half of our daily chlorine exposure is from showering? As chlorine is absorbed through the skin, it also vaporizes in the shower, is inhaled into the lungs, and transfers directly into the blood stream.  We have removed the chlorine and other chemical toxins from our water with shower filters.  Our skin and hair  feel so much softer now.
