I have been a Registered Nurse for over 20 years working in Critical Care in  ICU  and Cardiovascular Nursing. In this capacity, therefore, I see a lot of sickness, pain and anguish from patients struggling to regain their health. I came to find out through my own personal experience that so much sickness and pain need not happen if we follow God's original diet for man (Genesis 1:29). I was diagnosed with diabetes in 1995 along with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and a year later developed irritable bowel syndrome as side effects of the drugs that I was taking to control my diabetes. At the time I went on the Hallelujah diet in 1998, I was taking at least 50 units of Insulin daily. I have been healed of all these diseases in addition to a host of other minor ailments, such as malaise and fatigue, insomnia, neuropathy, obesity, cardiomegaly and liver dysfunction. Today I am healthy and vibrant because by the Grace of God, "I don't have to be sick." By my changing my lifestyle and diet to live foods and eliminating toxins from my diet and environment, I have also lost over 50 lbs(that I needed to lose), regained my youth and energy. Everyday I claim the promises of God in Psalms 103:3 as follows: "Bless the Lord , O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who HEALETH all thy diseases;.....  Who satisfies thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's."Psalms  103:3-5.

My passion in Natural Health led me to become a Licensed Massage Therapist in Feb 2005 and I am trained in several modalities including Integrated Massage, Craniosacral Therapy(CST) and Accupressure.

My mission is to teach and help people regain their health, improve their energy levels, reduce stress and renew their enthusiasm, zeal and youthfulness for life. I teach "GET HEALTHY, STAY BALANCED " training courses and workshops. Come and join me in taking a Life changing course.

"Beloved I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospereth." 3 John 2. This is God's will for us.

Health, Hope and Healing From the Lord

What do Type II Diabetes, Hypertension, High Cholesterol, Obesity, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Liver Dysfunction, Anemia, Numbness and Tingling and Athlete's Foot all have in common? THEY HAVE ALL BEEN ELIMINATED ON THE HALLELUJAH DIET! Perhaps, the most amazing aspect of all this is that I do not have to worry about the debilitating complications that accompany DIABETES with time.

I have been a Registered Nurse for over 20 years, working as a Critical Care RN in ICU, and as a Cardiovascular Nurse. I am also a Certified Case Manager(CCM) with the experience of working with a Managed Care company as a Wellness and Disease Case Manager. Furthermore I have recently obtained my license as a Licensed Massage Therapist(LMT). In my capacity as a nurse, therefore, I see a lot of sickness, pain and anguish from patients struggling to regain their health. The patients who touch me most are the DIABETICS, because I have DIABETES in my family. Needless to say, as I became more knowledgeable, as a Nurse and as a Christian, I started taking better care of better care of myself in order to avoid becoming a DIABETIC.

I see DIABETICS as a group of patients that keep coming to the healthcare facilities repeatedly, seeking help to manage their diseases. They keep coming, getting worse and worse, until they finally come to die, most of the time prematurely from the complications of this terrible disease. This is very much like the situation with the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:25-27." And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse."

The typical DIABETIC who has had the disease for over 5 years, is on 6-12 medications, and has at least 4-6 specialists on his or her case when hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit -- the Endocrinologist, the Nephrologist, the Hematologist, the Pulmonologist, the Gastroenterologist, the Neurologist, the Cardiologist, the Surgeon, the Infectious Diseases’ Specialist, the Wound Care specialist and sometimes the Psychiatrist -- for all the complications that arise. These complications can be peripheral vascular disease, MI, diabetic foot ulcers, leg and foot amputations, retinopathy, neuropathy, gastroparesis, renal insufficiency/renal failure, obesity, hypertension, CAD, high cholesterol levels, congestive heart failure and a host of other medical conditions.

Sadly, I have seen many leg/foot revascularizations and grafts that do not take, and patients end up with amputations. The typical DIABETIC can end up with one leg amputated and the other leg with cellulitis, abscess or wound that does not heal, so that eventually you see double amputations. I have come to find out through my own personal experience, that so much sickness and pain need not happen, if we follow God's Natural Health plan.

I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES IN 1995, along with HYPERTENSION, HYPERLIPIDEMIA, and a year later developed IRRITABLE BOWeL SYNDROME and LACTIC ACIDOSIS, as side effects of the medications I was taking to control my DIABETES. In addition, I was PUTTING ON WEIGHT, from having to eat at least 4-5X/day. Even though I was exercising and trying very hard to get my blood glucose levels under control, I was failing miserably. In 1996, I went on Insulin injections, and was taking at least 50 units a day(Ultralente and Humalog), and had to check my blood sugar at least 5 times a day.

I was receiving treatment for HYPERTENSION (taking Zestril 10mg daily), but my BLOOD PRESSURE was still high. I also was experiencing other symptoms, such as INSOMNIA, BLURRED VISION AND SWOLLEN FEET (if my blood sugar stayed high for too long), NERVE DAMAGE, ALLERGIES, a continuous DRY COUGH in my throat (that no antibiotic or cough medicine would get rid of), MALAISE and FATIGUE, STOMACH BLOATING, ELEVATED LIVER ENZYMES, CARDIOMEGALY, A HEART RATE OF 100, and whenever I put myself on the cardiac monitor, I would see my heart rhythm in ischemia(inadequate blood flow to my cardiac tissues). My Hemoglobin/Hematocrit levels were also dropping so I had to start taking iron pills and I was taking one Aspirin a day(supposedly to thin my blood and to help reduce my risks for heart attack). I knew I was very sick and yet did not know what to do. All my expertise and knowledge as a Critical Care Nurse, taking care of patients, teaching others to take care of their DIABETES and their HEART CONDITIONS, were not helping me.

I started praying, 'Lord what am I going to do? I cannot live like this! I am less than 50 years old, and if I continue to live like this, with this disease, I will not live to be 60.' DIABETES is a debilitating disease that affects all your bodily organs and systems! I was scared and worried about it! I felt desperate and helpless! I started looking at the herbs for diabetes, hypertension, liver dysfunction and obesity, went to the Health food store and started applying some of the herbs. I also started going for Acupuncture treatments and using Essential oils. Initially, these modalities seemed to be helping me, but minimally.

I started reading articles from the Health Food store that emphasized cleansing the body in order to maintain health. Then, somewhere in the midst of all this, friends I go to church with, gave me The Hallelujah Diet. This is a diet formulated by Dr. George Malkmus, based on the Edenic diet. I read it, considered it seriously and went on it, because I knew of no pill, medical procedure or any doctor that could cure me. As a matter of fact, the Endocrinologist I was seeing had said to me that I had a difficult time ahead of me! And this was true, knowing what I knew about this disease.

The Hallelujah Diet made sense to me! That God knows what we should put in the body, because He is the Creator. I became impressed as I learned through The Hallelujah Diet, that the fuel for the body that God gave to Adam and Eve in Gen 1:29, and Gen 3:18, was the raw, fresh, uncooked, unprocessed and unadulterated fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts. That it was never God's will for us to be sick, so He made provision for all our needs. If we eat the food in the natural state, we obtain the vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and the enzymes that our bodies need to carry out its metabolic and physiological processes. I had not realized what harm cooking, frying, caning and all the other modes of food processing do to our food. When we cook and process our food, we destroy the life force(enzymes), at least 90% of the nutrients, leading to deficiency and toxicity in our body, which in the long run, creates most of the chronic degenerative diseases; (such as Coronary artery disease, hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, arthritis, cancer, etc;). The Hallelujah Diet/Lifestyle showed me how to get on God's original diet.

In November 1998, soon after Thanksgiving, I had had my blood sugar level drawn (Hba1c of 7.7), and it was high. That was the impetus I needed to make me start the (Hallelujah) diet. I purchased a juicer, bought the juice book 'Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices' by Dr. Walker, and a recipe book for fresh/live food preparation (‘Recipes for Life' and 'God's Way to Ultimate Health' from Hallelujah Acres). I also started reading voraciously on the subject of live/raw foods and enzymes.

I started drinking several glasses of freshly extracted vegetable juices daily --consisting of carrots in combination with celery, cucumber, spinach, and eating at least 85% of my food as fresh fruits and vegetables. I reduced considerably the amount of cooked food I was eating, and started to cut down on the amount of salt in my food and the amount of processed soy products also. Every now and then, as I started to learn more and more as to what it takes to have health, I would open my fridge and throw out the unhealthy foods like white bread, cow milk, soda, etc; the canned foods simply sat in my cupboard until I threw them away later on.

I continued checking my blood glucose levels several times daily and immediately after making the diet change, noticed my levels going lower and lower, so that I was using less and less Humalog insulin. I had another blood work drawn exactly 5-weeks from the first one and I was exhilarated -- my Hba1c had come down to 5.4 (within normal range). On January 2,1999, I was able to go off my long-acting Insulin (Ultralente); I used to take 25 units of that daily. I was able to come off my Insulin completely, in addition to my blood pressure medicine, a couple of months later.

Today, ten years after starting on The Hallelujah Diet, I have health and a vibrant life, vitality, energy and vigor, because by the Grace and Mercy of God, 'I don't have to be sick.' All my symptoms have almost totally disappeared! I have been off Insulin since 1999, I do not take any medications, and I maintain my health on the live foods and following the rest of God's plan with exercise, plenty of clean water, trust in God, rest, fresh air and getting some sunshine on my body every week. I have lost over 50lbs (that I needed to lose). It has been an eye opener for me -- a miraculous, marvelous, life-changing experience for me! Needless to say, it has strengthened my faith in God. What can I say, but proclaim far and wide, like the blind man in John 9:25: ' . . . whereas I was blind (sick), now I can see (have been healed).' Everyday I praise and thank the Lord for healing me!(Psalm 103).

The numerous metabolic and physiological processes that go on in our bodies need live food, with the minerals, vitamins and enzymes. On The Hallelujah Diet/Lifestyle, the author Dr. George H. Malkmus recommends at least 85% live/fresh fruits and vegetables with plenty of fresh vegetable juices. Many people have gotten amazing results and have eliminated various kinds of chronic degenerative diseases, such as diabetes, arthritis, cancer, diverticulosis/diverticulitis, asthma, migraine headaches, heart conditions, peripheral vascular disease, obesity and on and on.

Our own prayers, as well as intercessory prayers from other Christians are essential for our Christian life! For God is truly the Healer, and when we pray, we must ask God to lead us to what we need to do if it is His will that we get well. Our asking, seeking and knocking means that we have a part to play in helping God to answer our prayers, and to help us live in harmony with the natural laws. The purpose of prayer is to ask God to reveal to us what we need to do, to understand the laws of God and ask Him to give us the strength to obey them. On our own we cannot do it, but He gives us the power to cooperate with Him.

The effect of eating the world's way led me to DIABETES, with risks of potential complications of peripheral vascular disease, renal insufficiency, MI, CAD, hyperlipidemia, liver acidosis, CVA, fatigue and anemia. According to the American Diabetes Association, the direct medical expenditure in 2002 for DIABETES was $91.8 billion. God, through His Natural Health Plan, and with The Hallelujah Diet, has removed all these burdens from me. My spiritual walk with the Lord has been strengthened, because I believe in a practical way, that God truly has all the answers to all my needs. "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 3:11). My security is found only in Him. Hallelujah!  Amen!
