Hallelujah Diet Testimonies (H-O)Heart Disease, High Cholesterol, Hypertension, Infertility, Insomnia, Lymphoma Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Multiple Symptoms, Neuritis, Testimonies (P-Z) Heart Disease "...Two years ago, at age 32, I was told by my doctor that I would be dead in three years if I did not change my lifestyle and bad eating habits after a heart attack. I changed from the Standard American Diet (SAD) to the Hallelujah Diet. Today, I am 60 pounds lighter and doing fine on the Hallelujah Diet. No more heart problems, dizziness, pains, or even sickness. And all I did was change what I eat! Thanks again. " - Pastor M. G. Corr, Jr., Michigan (winter 2000 Back to the Garden) High Cholesterol "...My mother, a very skeptical nurse, has lowered her cholesterol by 80 points in six weeks and her blood pressure is normal for the first time in ten years..." - C. Morgan (spring '98 Back to the Garden) Just finished with her first WOW Workshop, Weigh of Wisdom, Cindy has a wonderful testimony of her experiences with The Hallelujah Diet. She was in the first WOW Workshop led by Doug & Marilyn Polk in the Jackson, TN area. The following is her testimony: "Before this diet I had a blood pressure reading of 138/88, a cholesterol reading of 236, was overweight, and my dentist said that I had the beginnings of gum disease. After being on this diet for the past 4 months, my blood pressure is 110/60 and my cholesterol is 167. My dentist says that my teeth and gums look healthy again, and I've lost 27 lbs. I'm on way to good health!" Hypertension "Yesterday I turned 55. I can now play golf during the week at the Bear Trace courses for only $25.00 (senior adult rate). That's good but the best thing that has happened to me this year is finding out about the Hallelujah Diet. For almost eight years I have been taking blood pressure medicine for the bottom line (stroke line), and it was still a push to keep the bottom under 90. I was also taking medication to lower my cholesterol which was 275. The medication led to injuries when I played tennis or worked out at the gym. I have also experienced prostate problems since I was 34. I went with my wife just to see what the Hallelujah Diet program was all about. Even though traveling is a part of my job, I made it to every meeting. The results five months later Off blood pressure medicine (120 over 80 or better everyday), Off cholesterol medication (I waited over 3 months after stopping the medication and the total was 187 with HDL and LDL being normal), and no prostate problems. Thanks Doug and Marilyn for your class and your prayers." J. Strait , Jackson, TN Infertility "...We have been married for five years and have been trying to have a baby (since the beginning of our marriage without success). Six months after we began the Hallelujah Diet, I became pregnant. My pregnancy was wonderful, did not experience a single day of morning sickness, and our daughter was born a month ago..." - M. D'Elia (summer, 2001 Back to the Garden) Insomnia "Just an update for you-when I returned home from the Women's Retreat at Hallelujah Acres, I began exercising. I started that Sunday with 2 minutes of healthy bounce rebounding. Today I worked out for 40 minutes and only quit because I had to get ready for work! I am so excited! It used to be when the feeling to exercise came upon me, I would lay down and wait for the feeling to pass. I have now completed nearly four weeks on the food part of the Hallelujah Diet and have more energy than I ever did before. This go-around on the program also seems to have eliminated my insomnia. I used to stay up till 1 A.M., wake up at 2:30, go back to sleep at 3, wake up at 4:30, go back to sleep at 5 and sleep until 7. I was always tired, felt truly sleep deprived. Now I fall asleep at 10:30 P.M. and sleep till 6:30 A.M. What's interesting to me is that I now have ongoing energy until I lay my head on my pillow! Awesome!" Candy Sullivan from Back to the Garden. Lymphoma Cancer "When I had a small lump removed from the right side of my neck in December of 1999, it was diagnosed as lymphoma cancer. After the surgery, my surgeon said all the cancer had been removed. However, when CT scans of my entire body were taken in January 2000, third stage lymphoma cancer was found in my abdomen and the doctor advised me to begin chemotherapy treatments immediately. His nurse said that if I didn't receive chemotherapy, I would experience lots of pain within a couple of months. I had previously seen a friend suffer terribly from chemotherapy, and she did not survive, even after enduring those painful treatments. I agonized at the thought of going through the same procedure, and it wasn't until I made the decision not to accept chemotherapy that a peace and calm came over me. I am 74 years old and have lived a productive life. If it would be 'my time to go,' I was ready! I am a born-again Christian and know that the next life will be much better than life here on earth. If the Lord wanted to take me now, that was all right with me. So I informed my oncologist that I would not accept chemotherapy and my family supported my decision. Shortly after my decision to refuse chemotherapy, my daughter Colleen heard about Hallelujah Acres and your diet. After prayerful consideration, I contacted Hallelujah Acres and began the Hallelujah Diet. I followed your diet religiously--after all, for me this was a matter of life or death. When my children learned about my cancer, they decided to take care of me while I was still alive, and so I moved in with my daughter Gail, and her family supported me by also going on this vegan diet. In June 2000, I had another CT scan which revealed that, although there were still some enlarged lymph nodes, they were smaller and less numerous than they were six months prior. For me, this was most encouraging and I faithfully continued on the Hallelujah Diet. I continued to have CT scans every six months, which continued to show my condition was improving. My last scan, taken in January 2002, reads: 'NEGATIVE FOR EVIDENCE OF PROGRESSION OF DISEASE. IN FACT, THERE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN RESOLUTION OF 1 CM. PRECARINAL LYMPH NODE.' Now, two years after my doctor's diagnosis of third stage lymphoma, I am free of cancer and live an active life at a senior apartment complex. I am still alive to enjoy this beautiful California sunshine as I go golfing with friends every week, and also am strong enough to help a friend as a handyman to do painting, yard work, trim trees, plumbing, carpentry, and electrical work. And as for that extra bedroom my daughter Gail had prepared for me to spend my last days--it is now used by my grandson for his computer equipment." From Hallelujah Acres website, www.hacres.com, testimony from Basil Murphy. Used by permission. Attached to Basil's letter and testimony was another letter. This one comes from Basil's neighbor, Claire Malis, who writes: "I am a friend of Basil Murphy, and live in the same complex. I can vouch for his wonderful recovery. There are 165 apartments in the facility where we live. Basil Murphy, who worked for years as a Los Angeles meat cutter, is considered a 'walking miracle' in this facility. He steadfastly stayed with the Hallelujah Acres vegan diet and today has more stamina and strength than most of us who never had to battle such a debilitating illness." Multiple Sclerosis "...After all medical options were tried and failed I was told my chronic progressive multiple sclerosis was too serious to overcome. I was told to buy the best wheelchair I could get because it would be an investment for life. Instead, I changed my diet, and this past year I played ball every week - hitting doubles, catching fly balls and doing things I never dreamed I would ever be doing again...It has been amazing to see others improve also - cancers just leaving and MS problems slowly disappear..." - M. Snitker (summer 2000, Back to the Garden)
Multiple Symptoms "I started the Hallelujah Diet on January 27, 1998. I have lost a total of 24 lbs; energy level increased; fibromyalgia symptoms gone (taking no medication for the first time in seven years); improved attitude; decreased depression; improved PMS; hiatal hernia symptoms gone; tachycardia symptoms gone; sleep improved; etc. I could go on and on...My mother, a very skeptical nurse, has lowered her cholesterol by 80 points in six weeks and her blood pressure is normal for the first time in ten years...My teenage son is like a different child. His acne is greatly improved, but his attitude is incredible. He is quieter and more helpful and respectful." - Christie Morgan (Back to the Garden) "I am 80 years old. Two years ago, I was so sick that I just wanted to go home to be with Jesus. But Jesus wanted me to be a testifier. So my son and I started the Hallelujah Diet on January 1, 1998. In a few weeks, my insulin needs started dropping from 50 units twice a day to 16 units once a day, and my arthritis began to go away. After six months on the Diet (having previously suffered four heart attacks and four strokes), my cardiologist said, 'You have the arteries of a 20 year old!' Today, after 18 months on the Hallelujah Diet I can walk an hour each day with a rollator..." - T. Schaeffer (winter 2000 Back to the Garden) "...After starting the diet, I saw vast improvements after only three days...The short version of some of my other miracles from God since going on His diet: no more hot flashes'; arthritis in hands gone; the first month on the diet every sign of fibroid cysts were gone (I lost 4" on my bust measurement as a result); my left knee had been hurting so badly that I couldn't bend it to put my shoes on, the pain is gone; nightly earaches are gone; no longer sensitive teeth; my night vision has improved along with memory and mental acuity. A bonus was losing 22 lbs. and remaining at the same weight ever since..." - S. Dubick, Alabama (summer 2000 Back to the Garden) "...After just seven months on the Hallelujah Diet, I have lost 53 pounds; have improved vision; no more hives; improved arthritic ankle; smooth skin; sleeping through the night; perfect blood pressure; perfect blood sugar; clear eyes; no more menstrual symptoms; and more energy than I ever had!" - C. Hamel (summer, 2001 Back to the Garden) Neuritis "Dear Doug and Marilyn, Thank you so much for answering my email. It helped so much. I have been so sick for 3 and a half years. I had to retire from my teaching job. I was a third grade teacher. I had been to doctor after doctor and for all this time they have treated me for digestive problems. Then I went to the Scott and White Clinic in Temple, TX and found out my problem was Neuritis, a condition where the nerve endings become inflamed. This condition has to be triggered by something and I know what it was--ALL OF THOSE CHEMICAL DRUGS they had me on for three and a half years. I came home, threw away all my medicines, that didn't help me anyway. I went on the Hallelujah diet two weeks ago and I am better than I have been in years already. The burning like a blow torch that I had been experiencing in my chest, stomach, and intestines, has already gone. Praise God!!! He led me to the Hallelujah diet through my Pastor. I thought my life was over and I thought I was dying and now I feel like there is a chance for me to get completely well again. I cry when I think about it. I am 58 years old. I had even got my will in order because I thought I was dying and actually if I was going to burn so severely all the time, not be able to eat anything without getting sick, etc. etc., I wanted to die. Thank God, the burning is not there most of the time after only two weeks. I don't know how to thank you and your wife enough. I know God will bless your life because you two have blessed so many others. It is a shame that when we are born we don't come with an instruction manual on how and what to eat. Take care and God Bless" S. Barr, Hobbs, NM All Hallelujah Diet testimonies used by permission, Back to the Garden and God's Way to Ultimate Health.
