December 9, 2004 journal, the Hallelujah Diet quoted on rheumatoid arthritis while sugar in my experience is a number one cause of arthritis. If I eat anything sweet my joints get sore. I believe the vegetarian diet is God's proper diet but I cannot recommend juicing. I believe one can consume too much carrot juice which is known to cause oranging of the skin and can be toxic. I prefer to eat raw carrots and whole oranges; eating them this way does not raise my blood sugar level whereas juicing them is too much sugar depleting me.

I am happy to quote from the Hallelujah Acres newsletter this week against meat because I have faith in <hacres.com> and I believe their theory is the correct direction for America and the world to be meat free. My paintings of the 5 white killers in our diet is inspired by the information they produce even though I had heard this before becoming acquainted w/ George Mallmus at Hallelujah Acres. I find it disgusting that America slaughters over 20 million animals per day to feed the addiction to meat. We're the fattest nation on the earth. Fox crime news is as hot as a pistol with all the killing going on here, 2 people were killed in Westminster near Clemson this week and their car stolen. A serial killer is also arrested. (Quoting "hope), as a Christian I continue to pray that God will step in and undeceive him. I've written you in the past to give thanks for eradicating JUVENILE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS (JRA) from my life. This is a miracle I could not have achieved if I had not eliminated ALL MEAT (including fish) from my diet - and I know, because I tried every-thing from organic meats to simply eating less meat. It wasn't until I was OFF MEAT COMPLETELY for a number of months that I was cured. . . . As any physician can tell you, JRA and other auto-immune conditions are about inflammation . . . and the SAD diet is inflammatory. You can go to NIH's website and find many articles recommending alkalizing (therefore plant-based), animal product-free diets to combat rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatologists know that diets like the Hallelujah Diet are the best defense against auto-immune diseases. I'd like to see Jordan Rubin's proof that eating animal products does anything other than exacerbate JRA and other such conditions. Maybe one of your Health Tips can debunk Rubin's book from the point of view of inflammation? Thanks for all your good work. May God continue to bless you and your ministry richly! (A.J.)” MAKER'S DIET: [7] “MYTH: VEGETARIANS LIVE LONGER AND HAVE MORE ENERGY AND ENDURANCE THAN MEAT-EATERS. One English vegetarian guidebook claim-ed that vegetarians 'can expect to live nine years longer than meat-eaters.' A witty com-mentator called this fictitious life expansion, 'indulging in a bit of wishful thinking.' ” EDI-TOR: As I read the above so-called “MYTH,” I could not help but wonder how Jordan Rubin can continue to make such outrageously false statements, in view of all the evidence that so clearly refutes what he is saying. It would appear that Jordan Rubin is so determined to discredit The (plant- based) “Genesis or Hallelujah Diet” and get people to accept his (meat-based) MAKER'S DIET, that he is willing to say almost anything, no matter how demonstrably false what he is saying is. So, let's see if what Jordan Rubin is calling a “MYTH” here, is “fictitious life expansion . . . 'a bit of wishful thinking,' ” or TRUTH, by examining the evidence! LONGEVITY ***Gabriel Cousins, in his book “Conscious Eat-ing” writes on page 184: “Of the 154 centenarians in Bulgaria, only five ate meat regular-ly. It is a well-established fact that the longest-lived people throughout the world, such as the Hunzkuts, Bulgarians, East Indian Todas, Russian Caucasians, and Yucatan Indians are either complete vegetarians or eat meat infrequently. In a study of Seventh Day Adventists, the largest single group of vegetarians in the U.S., it was found that”…
