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.

nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
