August 29, 2011 journal, surviving colon cancer and surviving chemotherapy is not easy, the cancer would be easier to cure than the chemotherapy in my opinion from what I see. "I hope and pray you are well. You are my kin and I feel compelled to share with you what I have learned and what I would do in similar circumstances. The founder of Hallelujah Acres, Shelby North Carolina survived colon cancer at age 42 over 30 years ago. I know him personally and have received his newsletter's weekly for 10 years. There are other helpful hints also such as asparagus that is known to cure cancer. Tomatoes are another ingredient. It is never too late to begin. I urge you to go on a raw diet of fruits and vegetables especially alkaline fruits including lemons. You may know all this already but just in case. Lemon is a vital alkaline substance but it should be organic as the major producers spray lemons with arsenic to make them yellow faster. There are a lot of alkaline foods as opposed to acidic. There is a book available entitled Alkaline or Die. America's diet today is largely acidic with meats and dairy products even some nuts. My brother always said to "sew by all waters". That is a biblical expression. Liquid copper from wateroz.com is reported to have a high cure rate but I would do all these reported remedies if it were me. If I can help you get any of these I will be glad to. Copper kills the good and bad digestive bacteria in the stomach so when taken it should be followed up with a replacement flora digestive bacteria (enzyme) Aidophilus to keep the digestive system going. I think of those sleepless nights I spent after eating heavy protein. A survival guide for all people is a vegetable diet from Genesis 1-29, "The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations, to you it shall be as meat". Vegetarian from the beginning. America kills 20 million animals per day to satisfy their addiction for meat. I know some carry the juicing too far but carrot juice squeezed fresh from organic carrots like you could get at Earth Fare is a vital ingredient toward health. I think it's even better if you eat the carrots Raw. There is a lot of natural sugar in carrots but it is not unhealthy. The sacrifice of meats is required of us all and possibly all dairy products if we survive. One may get by for a period of time but it catches up fast. When I went off sweet tea I began to taste food for the first time and loved to eat things I used to hate. The food industry makes food addictive with MSG and refined sugar, sugar suppresses the immune system. We all need to dump all sugars out of our cabinets. We will feel so much better. One of Hallelujah Acres major subjects is to avoid the 5 white killers in our diet. I painted this scene several times and the Public is hungry for even the artworks of it. One of the 5 whites is refined sugar. If I drink orange juice it devastates me but eating oranges whole, I can eat them all day long. Soda pops are not for human consumption, I believe they can cause these illnesses. Diet drinks are definitely a health hazard. 2-Refined flour, especially wheat gluten is very risky for some people to consume. Eat rye bread and barley bread. Eat oats as in Quaker whole Oatmeal. 3-Meat. The Old Testament people lived to be a thousand years old never ate meat. 4-Table salt. Morton's Salt is heated to extreme high temperature turning into a chloride poison. Buy sea salt at the health food store for all your salt needs and salt is a cure all mineral I highly recommend daily consumption. 5-Milk. It's hard to say what all is wrong with milk but it is not the best source of calcium, green leaves such as collard greens are the best source of calcium, that is where the cows get it. Cows get their calcium from green grass. Vitamin C from oranges and grapefruit is I believe the most important of the 12 vitamins necessary for the body to stay well. I have hardly had a cold in 40 years by consuming one orange or one half a grapefruit daily. Vitamin C only last 24 hours in the Body. Lately I was found to be deficient of vitamin D and advised to take double. I try to get 15 minutes of sunshine per day but I think it takes more as we get older to maintain vitamin D. I will take vitamin D capsules but I want the real thing when it comes to vitamins C. A doctor told an advanced cancer patient that at some point the chemo will stop working. I hope it does stop working for him because all the chemotherapy is doing is killing him, Even heart patient Bill Clinton is now on a strict vegetarian diet with no beef, pork or chicken, also, no cheese, milk or eggs, he says he feels well on fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains. I recommend barley, rye, oats. I have found delicious ground fresh almond butter at Ingles. Ingles is the only one moving into health food. Clinton says he feels better now. Avoid All artificial sweeteners including splenda, they are all bad for the health. I had a friend in Florida to start using splenda in his coffee and within a few weeks begin to see double. When he eliminated the splenda sweetener his sight returned to normal. Avoid all decaffeinated drinks, caffeine is bad enough but the chemicals to decaffeinate it are much worse. Butter is bad enough but margarine is much worse. Sugar is bad enough produced in foreign countries in unsanitary conditions but artificial sweeteners are worse. Avoid flu shots. All this is corporate for profit at public expense and danger. There are many dangers in today's food and society we need to be aware of. Vegetable oils contain the residue of the solvent used to leach out the oil from the vegetables and even though they distill it out some is bound to remain in the oil and this puts an unnecessary load on the body. Most people are unaware of these dangers. The conventional grocery store is full of dead products that offer very little real nutrition that's not contaminated with other. Oxygen is number-one to sustain life and water for hydration. Nutrition is No. 2 necessary to sustain life and health. It is important we breathe clean air and eat live food. I have been hypoglycemic all my life and need a lot of protein to keep me feeling strong but the body has a limited tolerance of 6 ounces per day it is capable of digesting before it starts to rob your bone structure of calcium noticeable first in loss of teeth in the mouth. I have fallen thousands of times but never broken a bone in my body thank the Lord. I keep cutting down my overall intake of protein and depending on a wider variety of green foliages in my diet. Don't always do as I do but do as I say do but I do take it serious. I do not recommend everything in any health food store such as canola oil which is an industrial lubricant and I believe it is misrepresented to the public. If you cook foods use pure virgin olive oil but even then cooking breaks it down to unhealthy. Cooking food is part of the problem. Some food such as rice & potatoes must be cooked I know but cooking kills the live enzymes. It is the live enzymes that feed the immune system and overall good health. Raw honey is highly recommended so long as it is not heated in the harvesting of mass production. Honey is predigested. You must know your beekeeper. Good nutrition actually starts with water, well water or spring water which has a hundred different minerals. Avoid purified bottled water and avoid water that stays in a hot car in a plastic bottle because it is known the plastics to leach out into the water. Avoid city water which is purified with poison chlorine and fluoride chemicals. And avoid fluoride in your toothpaste which is deadly poison. Avoid leafy greens if sprayed with insecticides. Avoid margarine because it is only one step away from consuming plastic not digestible. If leaves are not considered meat then Brazil nuts are the best substitute taste like meat. This is all I know and it may be as much as anybody needs to know to stay healthy. attachment- Please open my transcription of one of the Hallelujah Acres publications, I think you will find it interesting and helpful. You can get most things from their website free of charge and if you go there they mainly just have a health food store with carrots and barley green for sale. I have been buying the refrigerated Ezekiel bread, sprouted bread but it is so expensive until I have begun to buy the whole wheat bread loaf for 1.50 at Sav Mor. Adding a few thoughts and bits of clarification to my e-mail- Some statements may appear to be contradictory. Sprouted bread is best and without preservatives. Most all non refrigerated breads have preservatives & are loaded with sugar. Tumors thrive on sugar. It takes 36 hours to get sugar out of your system but once you do you feel so much better. Most vegetables and all fruits have sugar naturally more than enough to serve the brains needs. All cereal is loaded with sugar and preservatives. Stevia is a safe natural sugar. My reference to salt may be confusing. Salt is a preservative and a cure all for infections inside and outside the body. MSG (mono sodium glutamate) is a harmful salt preservative because so many things are added. It is used by Chinese restaurants and Campbell Soup also KFC and many others as flavoring. I have been told MSG aggravates my muscle atrophy condition. I avoid turkey and dressing at the cafeterias because it is so heavily loaded with MSG. We encounter many dangers in food most people are not even aware of. The food industry is out for profits only without any concern whatsoever for our health. Packaged breads and baked goods in grocery stores have at least 40 additives. George Malkmus survived colon cancer by changing his diet to vegetarian. His mother had it and he had it from the same diet. He appeared on Channel 16 many times with his program of health. I went there one time to Shelby North Carolina and getting close i noticed he had bloodshot eyes. I told him he needed minerals but he said he had all he needed that his wife was bringing him another glass of carrot juice. 30 days later he had a serious stroke and he later admitted he needed other foods. He admitted that some people develop oranging of the skin from too much carrot juice. It becomes toxic blood poison and that is the reason I say only one 8 oz glass per day. I still recommend people eat whole carrots. I would feel safe drinking one glass of carrot juice per day. I eat a big breakfast with 2 eggs and brown rice getting half my protein in breakfast alone but need breakfast for the energy lasting all day. Purified water in the grocery stores may have minerals but it for sure has chemicals like fluoride and chlorine added which is basically the same as city water. I buy spring water because it is only filtered and should still have the minerals so vital to our complete health. Distilled water has no minerals. I would always trust well water also. If purified water means filtered through reverse osmosis then it takes the minerals all-out and adds those poisons assuming they follow the normal trend. We are fortunate in Greenville to have fresh water from the mountains we get to use it first before Greenwood does. Thanks, its good to hear back from you and your good report. Our prayers are with you. Diet is a daily battle here also but I overcame the refined sugar addiction years ago in such things as iced-tea, for the first time in my life I taste the tea and I like the taste of tea. There are many foods that are naturally alkaline but more that are acidic and protein seem to all be acidic. My acidic stays high while another is naturally low for some reason even if we eat the same thing. My learning curve has been over 20 years and I am still learning daily. You live and learn and you learn what is not organically healthy. Many health foods are not what they propose to be. Garner's was the best but they went out of the food business reducing their size to vitamins now adjacent to the new fresh market on South Pleasantburg Drive near Laurens Road. Fresh Market is mostly pricey and not necessarily healthy. Earthfare is probably the best one on Pelham road near 85. They are extremely successful in Asheville at West Gate shopping ctr. Everyday I think of something else I want to tell you about my experiences but it gets to be too much to describe. I have covered the important bases. I suggest you and your husband visit hacres.com in Shelby. Thousands come there from all over the country for his monthly sessions. Lots of doctors go there. Doctors do not take chemotherapy because they know it kills. My sister-in-law was diagnosed with some form of cancer and told that she would live 3 months if she did not take chemo and one year if she did. She did not take chemo and lived one year without it. Had she taken chemo I feel certain she would have died in three months so the doctors had it in reverse. George Malkmus hacres.com has been cancer free for more than 30 years eating mainly carrot juice and barley green. I do not agree with him on everything but he is very determined and he is not in it for profit. He is a Minister of the Gospel of Christ. I went with my brother to the Pritikin Longevity Center in California where he enrolled for 10 days treatment and it was very expensive and he did well on a vegetarian diet but I did not agree with all of their teaching. They have a lot right but a few things wrong when it came to avoiding sugar. I went only as his guest to observe. It was medically well supervised exercise but you can do the same at home free of charge. As I said Ingles is gravitating toward health food products carrying sprouted refrigerated bread. We were raised on corn and wheat but now I am finding they are not very good to eat. Rye bread is better I believe and barley if you can find barley. The lady in the health food store at Taylors in the same shopping center with Public's can be very helpful to you, she and her daughter. I would say the answer lies within the health food industry and hacres.com at Shelby but it is up to you to put the puzzle together with your own wisdom/knowledge. This is all I have to say on the subject. Life is a wonderful experience and worth saving. America's food system has become more contaminated and eventually we will need to produce our own it seems and avoid the supermarkets, avoid all fast food and eat 70% or more raw foods with nutritional enzymes in place. I am sure you know that steroids are being put into milk now and of course it is used to grow beef, chicken & eggs. We all need to be aware of this and reminded of it daily because it is dangerous. Corporations are harming us for profits and they are being protected by government & the banksters. My friend is a strict vegetarian and when we go out to eat together it seems he don't eat much, just a salad but he eats a lot of cooked vegetables which would be better raw. His health is not perfect but it's pretty good and I always admire his will power to turn down all meat and dairy products even fish. They say fish has Mercury and a lot of things have mercury including flu shots. Mercury is a killer. I still eat fish and believe fish oil is very healthy. I like Iceland because of the pure air & water. Their food is fresh with no preservatives. Iceland has natural steam underground to heat all their houses. When I was there I ate at salad bars and fish which was mostly fried. Coca-Cola is corrupting Iceland with Coke. They have lots of exotic foods but they are expensive. Beef & chicken is not their delight. I want to express how good vegetarian dining can be to taste the food in the natural state. I also want to express salad dressings may reverse the positives of raw salads to negative. Oil & vinegar salad dressing may be a positive but never with store bought vegetable oil. Vinegar may be good in small amounts. Lynn's farm at Locust Hill has those old fashion low acid tomatoes for $1.00 per pound. Buy free range eggs, Lynn's has them for $2 per dozen but they were out of stock today. Alkaline food chart I started out to write just a few words but things keep coming to mind, sorry to be so long. About 40 years ago CBS 60 Minutes did a study with 3 heart patients that could no longer work and all 3 were candidates for bypass surgery. CBS paid for their treatment at the Pritikin Longevity Center in Santa Monica, in one year all 3 fully recovered and returned to their jobs. So the system works but it was swept under the rug and never heard from again because doctors and hospitals get $150,000 for heart bypass surgery. This is modern commercial health. No doctor will ever tell you that there are alternatives to bypass surgery. A Kansas City doctor discovered that pulmonary fibrosis lung disease comes from butter flavoring they use in a popcorn factory there and many of their workers were infected In addition to the plastic formula ingredient in margarine there is also butter flavoring. Oxygen is the most important ingredient in sustaining life, breathing clean air, second is water, 3rd is food. A person can live 3 minutes without oxygen, 30 days without water and 90 days without food but they say that without hope the body self destructs instantly. The battle begins at the grocery store where you shop. It is also in your home tap water. Fluoride is a lie and does not protect children's teeth. Fluoride designed to sell medicines. We must break the temptation to buy the wrong foods. We don't eat out much except for lunch-and I get three or four vegetables at the cafeteria, no meats. I have not ordered a steak in 20 years. As a rule we keep no meats in our refrigerator. The further west you go the more vegetarians you find and in California no one drinks tap water. My favorite food is to peel off a leaf of cabbage and eat it raw, it is truly delicious. Most foods are delicious. Be happy and sing a song or sing a song to be happy. Sing your prayers and your praises.
