I gratefully dedicate this book to Dr. George Malkmus.
His book “The Hallelujah Diet”* has revolutionized the physical aspect
of my life. Not only has it changed my thinking about nutrition, but most importantly,
it has encouraged me to change my personal eating habits.
As a result, my health greatly improved in a matter of a few months, which is still
unfathomable to many doctors.

The summer break was over and the students were back in school.
But Kate was missing. Theprincipalcametothefirstclass

Right after school, a few of Kate’s friends decided to visit her
in her home. There, they met Kate’s aunt, who had come to visit her niece. Together, they sat next to Kate’s bed.

ulcer. You might not know this, but her illness, just like many other chronic illnesses and diseases that

Even grownups don’t always realize the serious consequences of feeding our bodies with bad foods. Too often they take their children to fast food
restaurants, where

to live and develop.Just like you can’t make a solid brick out of mud and water, our organisms
cannot build healthy cells out of junk food.

In fast food restaurants, we eat bread made from grain
whichlacksfiber,proteinandminerals.We also buy drinks that taste syrupy,
and contain sugar and other harmful supplements.
As scientists from Harvard University have proved, consuming cola-type
drinks and any soda type beverages, causes just as many deaths
as all of the cancer types combined.In fast food restaurants,
we also consume m e a t , that

used to preserve, beautify and extend the expiration date
of these very meats.
Many of these additional ingredients are very unhealthy and

of herbivorous, the animals that eat grass and plants, and is

Our intestines are too long and too tangled to quickly dispose
of digested meat products. The meat left over in the intestines is chock
full of decomposed bacteria.

The undigested pieces of meat stay in the large intestine of a human for a long time, even a few days.
There, they decay because of the decomposed bacteria.
Thiscausesvariousinflammationswhich, with time, lead to serious
chronic diseases. Those decaying pieces of meat
can cause diarrhea, constipation, gas, and heartburn and will eventually
contribute to cancer. The toxins that are produced by the decomposed
bacteria can cause a disease called leaky gut syndrome
which causes

This can give start to allergies and even

As children grow older, their bodies cease to secrete a special enzyme
called lactase, which digests sugar, or lactose contained in milk.
In addition to that, milk contains casein protein, which is also found
in wood glue.When we’re no longer able to digest
casein, it stays in our intestines and becomes food for the bacteria.
Their toxins continue to destroy the walls of the intestines
in such a way, that the intestinal villi are not able to receive
necessary nutrients.

Our cells begin to lack vitamins, microelements, amino acids
and other very important nutrients. This causes our

Interestingly enough, curd, natural yogurts or buttermilk,
when prepared naturally at home and used occasionally are healthy and can be use medicinally thanks
to the bacteria contained in lactic acid. This friendly bacteria
does a wonderful job solving our digestive problems.
Pickles and sauerkraut without vinegar are even better choice and more
beneficial,forithasnoanimalpropertiesand no cholesterol.

Sugar, especially processed white sugar is equally or more harmful to our body andsoisallwhiteflourandrice,
which acts just like sugar.

Unfortunately, processed sugar is found in

from drinks (even fruit juices) to all kinds of sweets
and even canned vegetables. Theeffectsofexcesssugar in our body can be deadly. Once sugar gets into our
digestive system, it stimulates the pancreas, which begins
to release a hormone called insulin.

The sugar level in the blood cannot become too high, because if it does, our brain will not be able to work properly. One could even fall into a coma! It is extremely important to eat natural foods that do not contain much sugar. However,
when there is too much of it in the body, our pancreas has to work that
much harder and it produces abundance of insulin. This causes the sugar levels to drop, however, there is now excess of insulin in the blood. Then, the sugar
level continues to go down until it becomes too low. At that point our
brain says “Enough!” and we must eat something sweet—and it makes a full circle which becomes a vicious cycle!
DIABETES

When the pancreas works this hard over the course of many years, it eventually gives up because
of exhaustion and goes on strike. Then a person becomes diabetic.

than what we are capable of burning, our body stores the unused,
“empty” calories in the form of fat.The increasing number of fat cells burdens our bodies in such a way
that, after some time, we are not able to move around well,
and that makes us burn even less energy.

which impairs their performance and leads to more diseases. In order
to convert these “empty” calories into energy and use them in some way,
the body has to provide a lot of minerals and vitamins. If our diet consists mainly
of fast food, sweets, chips, etc. —in other words “empty” calories —our body is forced to draw all
the necessary minerals from its internal resources, which will eventually
make it very weak.

Our immune system also becomes weaker, and it opens the gate
to all kinds of diseases. Our body needs,

of sugar that is contained in natural fruits and vegetables
is sufficient for the healthy functioning of your body.

Sweets seem delicious, but we should eat them very sparingly
and only on special occasions, or better yet, not at all.
Each candy bar, cookie or carbonated drink, though delicious,
can contribute to serious health problems, especially
