It is my belief that the body can heal itself, given the right nutrients. Every now and then I come across a health related article that I believe is well worth sharing.  I have put a few of them on this website to help my friends with their health issues.

Several of the articles on this website mention products I think will be of benefit.  If that is the case you will find links to www.myaimstore.ca/ljking where you can purchase the products for yourself if you so desire and they will be shipped directly to you from the company. It is set up so that we would receive some financial benefit when you order through that website.

For many years now we have used, sold and highly recommend nutritional supplements from AIM International, Inc. (AIM).  Our trips to the doctor’s office have been few and far between.  In fact, it’s been a few years since I’ve had to see a medical doctor, probably a rarity at my age!

I have been very impressed with this company, both for the quality of the products, and the integrity I have experienced from them. (To make it easier to remember my website, I chose an easier domain name to remember - www.nutrients galore.com !)  At this point the search engines are not finding that, so please just type it into the bar at the top of your internet browser when looking for it if the link doesn't take you there.

 This is a truly international company with branches in Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand, South Africa, and the USA.  The mission of The AIM Companies™ is to improve the quality and productivity of people’s lives by promoting the Healthy Cell Concept™ and the highest principles of free enterprise.

Besides getting highly nutritional products, there is also a business opportunity which has been a help to us financially, and which is available to any who are interested in taking advantage of that. You will also find more about that on the www.myaimstore.ca/ljking website, if that interests you.

Our Experience of Deficiencies on the Hallelujah Diet

Andrew & Romsey Foote

In the summer of 1996, my wife, Romsey, and I visited a friend who had a remarkable recovery from Lupus through the application of a diet called the Hallelujah Diet. After seeing such improvements in her health, we decided to go learn more about this diet directly from its founder, George Malkmus.

So in November of 1996, we attended a 3-day seminar to become Hallelujah Acres' Health Ministers. While there, we were quite amazed to hear so many others who had similar results of recovery from various health challenges after adopting this diet which consisted of 85% raw fresh fruits and vegetables and 15% healthy cooked while eliminating what Hallelujah Acres termed as the five "food killers."

These "killers" included all meat and dairy products, refined sugar, salt, and refined white flour products.

After leaving the training sessions, we decided to implement this diet 100% and, amazingly, we saw similar results of healing in our own family. We continued to not only eat this diet but we also taught it during the next several years. We thought we had found God's "ideal diet" since it was based on His original eating instructions to man found in Genesis 1:29.

In the spring of 2001, while attending a Hallelujah Acres Health Minister Reunion, we learned that there was possibly an important ingredient missing in the Hallelujah Diet, an essential nutrient called Vitamin B-12. They now recommended those on the Hallelujah Diet take a supplement to make up the difference for the lack of this vitamin in the diet.

Had God forgotten this key vitamin in His "ideal diet" so that it required supplementation? We discovered that this vitamin was primarily found in meat and other animal products but were told that B-12 could also be produced from sources such as friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract.

So, under the assumption that this was God's "ideal diet," we believed this must be the way God meant man to get Vitamin B-12. Consequently, we took a probiotic with an occasional Vitamin B-12 supplement to receive our B-12 since we were convinced that to reintroduce meat back into our diet was to reintroduce the number one food "killer."

About six months later, Romsey became pregnant with our seventh child. Having two other successful pregnancies on the Hallelujah Diet, we were ready for our third. Since this was the seventh pregnancy in eleven years for Romsey, she would need as much nutrition as possible. So we determined there would be no "cheating."

It was the Hallelujah Diet all the way with lots of juicing, which included a daily regimen of 64 ounces of fresh vegetable juice consisting of 50% carrot and the other 50% greens like kale, chard, celery, spinach, cucumber, and zucchini. We made sure the cooked portion was kept to a minimum of 15% by leaving that portion to the final meal of the day.

We also added Udo's Perfected Oil Blend and lots of barley powder as recommended by Hallelujah Acres.

During the pregnancy, we had Romsey's blood tested to make sure she was getting the nutrients she needed. Of the nutrients tested, Vitamin B-12 and folic acid showed to be in normal range but iron tested slightly low.

The one nutrient we were particularly interested in was Vitamin B-12 and since it tested in normal range in the blood even while pregnant, we thus concluded with even stronger convictions that the Hallelujah Diet was indeed God's "ideal diet."

Several months following the birth of our child named Andrew Aaron, we began to notice some symptoms that concerned us. His muscle strength and motor skills were far behind for his age of nine months. He could neither crawl nor hold his head up.

After doing some research into the symptoms of Vitamin B- 12 deficiency, we realized our child was likely deficient.

We also found out that the most accurate testing for Vitamin B-12 deficiency is done through the urine, not the blood. So we had a urine sample tested and the results consequently showed positive for B-12 deficiency.

We began Vitamin B-12 supplementation and saw some immediate improvements. After a few weeks he could hold his head up and began to scoot around on the floor on his belly.

Up to this time, this child was solely breast-fed but realizing Romsey wasn't supplying the baby with the nutrients he needed, we began to add raw goat milk to his diet.

At one year, he cut his first tooth only to have most of the enamel missing off the front of it. This revealed more evidence of Hallelujah Diet deficiency beyond Vitamin B-12.

“Death by Fork”©

Could you imagine reading an obituary that began with the words “Death by Fork”? What would be the first thought to cross your mind? With all the violence in the media today, you might likely think someone was murdered with a fork.

Well, this particular death wasn’t a homicide but a suicide. Just another self-inflicted “fork shot” to the mouth with most of the casualties not realizing the fork was “loaded”, loaded with hazardous materials causing its victims to die a slow death called disease and illness.

Our appetites can be a dangerous thing. What member of the body is the guide and leader of our appetites? Well, that’s not too hard to answer. It’s the tongue with its numerous little buddies called taste buds.

AMERICA, THE "ABUSED"

A couple of years ago, while enjoying a walk in the country, I noticed a group of cows grazing to their fill in a field of luscious tall green grass. There were probably a dozen or so cows just sitting in the middle of this particular field chewing their cud. I remember thinking to myself how content they all were with their full bellies.

Then the Lord spoke to me saying, “Little do they realize, they’re eating for their own slaughter.” The first thought that came to my mind was the day the “green grass party” would come to an end when the trucks arrive to load them up.

Then my eyes were suddenly opened to the fact that we’re eating for our own slaughter too. Most of us today eat without any understanding of why and for what purpose we eat. We eat because our bellies are empty and we’re hungry. So we find something yummy to fill our tummy until we’re satisfied not realizing and usually not caring what was in the food we just ate. In this manner, we eat for our own “slaughter” as well. Our slaughter comes in the form of heart disease, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, and the list goes on.

As I mentioned in the previous newsletter in the article, “Death by Fork”, the enemy doesn’t care how he takes us out, “A 357 Magnum or a fork, it’s all the same to him”. John 10:10 states, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy…”
