Rev. George Malkmus, founder of Hallelujah Acres, shared his story this week on how his colon cancer was completely cured 35 years ago, with no medical modalities, only a change to God’s original diet for man, including fresh raw juices – from those foods God gave. Part of his story (the beginning of the article is quoted below,) click the link at the end to read the rest of it.
What’s So Special About Carrot Juice?
Thirty-five years ago, when I was told I had colon cancer, Evangelist Lester Roloff encouraged me to eliminate all animal foods (both flesh and dairy) from my diet, along with refined sugar and refined grains.
He went on to encourage me to consume lots of carrot juice if I wanted to restore my health. Not understanding all the reasons why, I took his advice.
Within days of making these dietary changes my rectal bleeding had stopped. Within less than a year the tumor in my colon had disappeared – all without any help from a doctor or the use of any chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery.
After this experience I rationalized that if carrot juice could help my body recover from colon cancer, it might be good to continue consuming it order to help me remain well. And I have done just that.

Nuts. Flakes. And Fruits. Granola is known as the “health food”. But beyond that granola can be a great Good for You-Naturally!™ food for our health. It is super simple to make, and has endless variations – according to your tastes or what you have on hand.
Granola begins with grains – traditionally flakes, that is rolled oats, but more healthy is soaked/sprouted and dried oat groats or buckwheat. Soaking releases enzymes inhibitors that are in the grain to keep it dormant, (from sprouting,) to preserve it. Soaking will once again awaken it to life, and our health, providing better digestibility. If you prefer, you can leave the grains out and use nuts and seeds only.
Nuts and seeds are the next key ingredient. We stick to raw ones, for their health and life giving factors. Ideally, these should be soaked and dried too, to release the enzyme inhibitors. If you have tree nut allergies, leave those out and just include seeds that you are able to tolerate.
Sweetener and fat are the next ingredients. These can also help hold the granola together, and are both somewhat optional. Dates are a great natural sweetener that also help bind the other ingredients together for a crunchier/chunkier granola. Raw honey and pure maple syrup are other good options, and raw agave nectar, if you use that. Raw coconut oil is our good fat of choice. Of course, the nuts and seeds also provide good fats. Flax seed is a great seed to include that also provides good fat and acts as a binder. While adding these liquid ingredients, you may add a bit of water too.
Seasonings are our next ingredients. Any of your baking spices may be appropriate, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, even ginger if you really like it. I also like to add real vanilla and/or maple flavors.
Finally we get to that third category, fruits. I’m listing them last, because all the other ingredients are mixed together and dried or baked before adding dried fruits. Dried coconut shreds are a staple in our granola. Raisins, dried apples, apricots, or most kinds of dried cherries or berries – strawberries, cranberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc. - can be added. You could also add fresh apple bits, or even a bit of applesauce as a binder, before dehydrating/baking.
OK, I’ve said it twice, dehydrating or baking. We recommend dehydrating, at low temperatures, for retention of nutrients. If we’re going to make a good healthy food, we want to keep as many of the nutrients as we can intact. Cooking destroys far more nutrients than dehydrating at low temps does.
That’s it. Mix it together and dehydrate it at about 105°-110°, until dry. Store in an air right container. Preferably glass.
What about proportions. Use what you like. there is no right way. But below are some proportions we like – and in parenthesis one of our fave mixtures. All amounts are approximate. This one is more traditional and uses the more common rolled grains, which are steamed, not completely raw, but still a good whole grain.
Lisa’s Good for You-Naturally!™ Granola
7 cups flakes (rolled oats 5 c., rolled barley 1 c., rolled rye 1 c.)
1-1.5 cup raw nuts and seeds – any combination you like (1 c. almonds, 1/4 c. sunflower seeds, 1/4 c. sesame seeds)
1/2 – 3/4 cup sweetener/water (1/3 c. maple syrup, 1/3 c. water)
1/4 c. fat/oil (raw coconut oil)
1/4+ c. ground flax seed (These are full of really good fats that we are all so lacking, always add them.)
1-2 tsp. spice (1.5 tsp. cinnamon)
1-2 tsp. flavoring (1 tsp. vanilla, 1 tsp. pure maple flavoring)
Mix all together and dehydrate. When dry mix in:
1+ c. chopped dried fruits (1/2 c. coconut, 1/2+ c. raisins, dried apples or strawberries.)
Store in air tight container.
Serve with milk, or in/on yogurt, or just by the handful!

I could share my mother’s delicious brownie with you today. It is indeed yummy, but it wouldn’t help you on your road to good health and weight loss. It wouldn’t be Good for You-Naturally!™
Instead I will share with you another delicious, special brownie recipe I shared with our Good for You-Naturally!™ for Life Online Course & Community this week. A yummy, super quick and easy raw brownie. These truly have the texture and even taste of cooked brownies. They take only 4 ingredients and probably no more than 4 minutes – start to finish. Measure. Blend. You’re done.
Good for You-Naturally!™ bRAWnies
from the kitchen of Lisa @ Me & My House
- 1 cup organic raw walnuts
- 1 cup organic medjool dates, pitted
- 1/4 cup raw carob powder
- 1/2 tsp. real vanilla
Put walnuts into food processor and process until ground. With processor still running add halved dates, 1 at a time, then carob power and vanilla. Process until smooth. Check consistency. It should hold together. If it doesn’t, add just a little bit of water.
Press into pan. (Double this recipe to fill an 8×8 pan.) Cut into squares. Eat as is, or refrigerate to firm up a little more.
NOTES: You can stir in some chopped walnuts, if you like some chunky nuts in your brownies.
Just wait till you see what I do with the recipe for a decadent dessert in our forthcoming Good for You-Naturally!™ Simply Snacks recipe book.

Good for You-Naturally!™ Caramel Apples
‘Tis the season. Apples and pumpkins are 2 of my favorite fall crops. Raw pumpkin is yet to be tried here, but we love Good for You-Naturally!™ Pumpkin Bars, Pumpkin Muffins, and of course, Pumpkin Pie.
When it comes to apples, we never run out of ways to serve them – from fresh apple juice to apple crisp, and of course, apple pie. For a very special treat, there’s Caramel Apples. Very special, but still very Good for You-Naturally!™
Good for You-Naturally!™ Caramel Dip
for Apples and other Sweet Treats
- 10 fat and juicy, organic medjool dates
Soak in distilled/purified water to cover. (At least 1/2 – 1 hour.)
Drain – but save soak water.
Add to dates:
- 1-2 Tbl. soak water
- 2 Tbl. raw, organic extra virgin coconut oil
- 2 Tbl. raw honey [or real maple syrup]
- 1/2 – 1 tsp. pure real vanilla flavoring
Blend all in a food processor (or high performance blender) until smooth. Add enough soak water to make it nice and creamy.
Serve with crisp organic apple slices.
Yummy!

We are pleased to partner with Raw Life to bring their helpful information and resources to our followers and customers. We’ve partnered with Raw Life for about a year, but perhaps you didn’t even know that. But even if you did, this update is important because our partnership links with The Raw Life Health Store have changed.
Why a partnership with a health store? When you decide to broaden your horizons beyond salads, juices and smoothies, into more adventurous raw foods, there may be some raw foods/ingredients that aren’t as readily available to you. As you probably know if you’ve read our Good for You-Naturally!™ information, we recommend raw vegetable juice powders, for those that aren’t growing and juicing their own greens and/or those that need convenience for getting those super, nutrient packed green juices into their bodies everyday. One of the absolute best and our most highly recommended young Barley grass juice powder is Barley Max, by Hallelujah Acres®. (The other we recommend is Barley Life from The AIM Companies.)
But why The Raw Life Health Store? Paul Nison, owner of Raw Life, is a fellow believer in Jesus, as well as a raw food eater and teacher, presenting a more biblical – and more balanced – perspective than you find in most raw foodists. (Just because something is a raw plant does not mean it is necessarily Good for You-Naturally!, and Paul knows and teaches that.) The Raw Life Health Store has raw juice powders, including Barley Max that we highly recommend, as well as other raw foods and ingredients you might not find easily in your local health food store. In addition, you’ll find Paul’s books and DVD’s – with a biblical and more balanced perspective than most, at The Raw Life Health Store.
The permanent place to find this information, and link to The Raw Life Health Store, is in our Good for You-Naturally!™ Online Catalog, on the Juice Powders and other Whole Foods page.

The post isn’t about listening TO your food, but listening ABOUT food. Learning and growing in health. I’ve got 3 opportunities for you today – all from different perspectives, and all coming with differing levels of endorsement from me. But ALL THREE are FREE! So check them out TODAY!
1) This past week and a half I’ve been listening to the conference sessions for Raw Mom Cooked Dad. Some of the speakers have good informative advise and are worth a listen.
These sessions, usually 3 per day, were only available for 24 hours. But today only, the last day of the conference, they have reposted all the sessions from everyday. If you want to take a listen, click on over and find the ones that interest you. Warning – some of the speakers come from a really unbiblical viewpoint. You’ve got to weed through to find the good stuff. In general, I found the sessions toward the beginning days of the conference to be more informative.
2) Tonight Paul Nison is hosting a FREE webinar with Drs. Jeff & Andrea Hazim. Paul and Jeff both present health through nutrition from a Biblical perspective. I’ve listened to and read Paul for going on a year now, but haven’t heard Dr. Jeff before. The webinar is live online tonight at 8:30 ET/ 7:30 CT. You do need to pre-register for it.
The webinar is called “What Nobody Tells You About Raw Food” and Dr. Jeff will be talking about “an issue no other raw food teacher is talking about.” (Paul’s challenged his listeners to guess the topic.) Jeff’s wife Andrea will also be sharing a couple of raw food recipes. So click on over and register now.
3) Me & My House ministries hosts a complete Online Course for transitioning from SAD (standard American unhealthy food) to Good for You-Naturally!™ foods. Included in that Course is the Good for You-Naturally!™ audio Seminar. But you can get almost half of that Seminar for FREE when you sign up for our FREE 2 Week Preview Course to Good for You-Naturally!™ for Life!
Check all three out today!

With so many different ways of “healthy eating” being taught, how can we know what is really best for us? Of all the “good things” to choose from, which choice should I make? What are some easy guidelines for how to make our choices?
I believe that we all can only do what we can do. We can only choose from what choices we have available to us. But we each need to make the best choice available to us at the time. We may not always be able to make the absolute best optimal choice every time. But we can make the best choice available to us at the time – the best choice that we know of at the time.
I’ve been listening to the audios from the Raw Mom Cooked Dad conference, and really liked the way Dr. Doug Graham presented 6 principles for making food choices. We may not be able to always get all 6 in all our choices, but we can work toward getting as many as we can in each choice. Good advice.
Here are the 6 Food Principles to look for, for making the best choices available to you at the moment. Work toward getting as many as you are able into each choice you make.
