History
The diet was first developed by Rev. George H. Malkmus, Lit. D. in the 1976 when he was diagnosed with colon cancer. The dietary regimen was taught to him by pastor Lester Roloff based on a strict, all-natural diet that originated from their interpretation of the Bible in Genesis Chapter 1, Verse 29.
Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food."
After a year of living a new lifestyle and following the Hallelujah diet, Rev. Malkmus claimed that his baseball-sized tumor had disappeared. This miracle encouraged him to share the message of hope and healing with the world. He started off by writing the book Why Christians Get Sick (1996) and then eventually it led to the start of Hallelujah Acres.
In 1986 Rev. Malkmus purchased a 50-acre farm in Eidson, TN, which eventually becomes the first home of Hallelujah Acres.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“Properly speaking, history is nothing but the crimes and misfortunes of the human race.”
—Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)
