I had been sick 53 years. At age 10 I started having severe headaches, controlled by 6-8 extra strength aspirin daily, and the doctors had no answers. By age 13 I had severe allergies and was very overweight. For the allergies, I had to take shots every 22 days plus antihistamines and nasal sprays.

Nine months after my first child was born, I had a grapefruit-sized tumor removed from my chest. After our third child they found a tumor on one ovary and did another surgery. Every year I experienced colds so severe it would lead to antibiotics, and three times it went into pneumonia. I had arthritis so bad in my left foot, knee and back I could hardly bend down, and it was painful to walk. In January 1996, a cardiologist told me I had a heart problem, wrote out a prescription, told me not to worry, and to come back in a year.

One week after my cardiologist told me I had a heart problem, my husband Bill and I started on the Hallelujah Diet cold turkey. In less than a month after changing my diet, the headaches I had suffered with for 43 years were gone. Within four months of the diet change my allergies were gone and I was able to go off the allergy shots and medications I had been taking for 40 years. Then the arthritis in my left foot, knee and back went away. I have lost a total of 30 pounds, gone from a size 14 petite to a 6-8 petite, and my cholesterol has dropped from 255 to 125. I have not been back to the cardiologist since he told me I had a heart problem in 1996, nor have I had any heart problems, nor taken the drugs he prescribed.

We are all different and we all are fighting different illnesses, but we are all created by God, and He told us what to eat when He formed us from the dust and placed us in a garden. My husband Bill and I stay very close to the Hallelujah Diet.
