Getting Back To The Garden
By changing his diet to a plant-based, clean food approach he activated and energized his immune system to fight his illness. Within one year he was fit and healthy again.
Since then, the Hallelujah Diet was developed so Rev. Malkmus could share the secret to living a healthy, vibrant life. It’s amazing what can happen when we simply get back to the garden with our eating habits.
Over the past 30 years, the diet has helped bring thousands of people back to the life God intended with a plant-based eating program.
It All Began With Our Founders
It started in 1976 when Rev. George Malkmus was confronted with serious health problems. He was advised to undergo traditional medical treatment.
But he took a different route. This route was a drastic modification of his diet to primarily raw, natural foods.
Rhonda Malkmus was diagnosed with degenerative spine issues and suffered debilitating pain for many years. It was in 1992 when Rhonda began experiencing the life-changing benefits of following the Hallelujah Diet, and it was also the year that she married Reverend George Malkmus.
