In 1996, I had just had my fourth baby. After coming home from the hospital I had a lot of depression. My husband Hans had been out of the country for many months and there was a lot of stress in my life. Because of the stress, I ate many things I should not have, and my weight started to mount. My skin started to look bad, and a rash broke out all over my body. I went to the doctor who prescribed a medication for the rash, but nothing helped. Then chronic constipation started becoming a problem, and because of this problem, I developed hemorrhoids and then a fissure. The doctor checked my cholesterol and it was 240, and prescribed more medication to lower it.

One Sunday at church, my pastor told us that Dr. George Malkmus was coming to speak. I had heard about him, but not enough. I went to hear him, and hearing him changed my life! Everything he said made sense. I bought his book, "God's Way to Ultimate Health," and the next day, bought a juicer and some BarleyMax®. My first three days on The Hallelujah Diet® were difficult; the most difficult was coming off sugar and caffeine.

But within the first week after making the diet change, I noticed improvement! within two weeks, I had no more constipation and my hemorrhoids were getting better without my prescription drugs! Within the first month, I had lost 20 pounds and my friends at church could not believe what they were seeing! And by this time, the rash had totally cleared! My body had started regenerating itself! Now I sleep like a baby, whereas before the diet change I could only sleep about two to four hours a night. The depression is gone as is the high cholesterol and arthritis, and I have now lost a total of 45 pounds since adopting The Hallelujah Diet! Praise God! With all the trash out of my body, I can even hear God better! Thank you Dr. George and Rhonda Malkmus for giving your life to teach people a better way of life!
