Excellent book

Since our view of health is squid to a lot of money to use for the new Health Care Professionals, I can understand why this book is not a necessary commodity for families and their household. This book would help eliminate a lot of illnesses if read, applied and choosing to live the way our Heavenly Father planned in the Bible in the book of Genesis. I knew scripture and have begun to apply a different and correct life style according to the master food/eating plan the our Heavenly Father laid out for us originally, but to read it and then to apply it and over and above this to FEEL THE DIFFERENCE IN MY BODY is another whole new concept of satisfaction in health. By the way I feel, I don't miss the incorrect types of processed foods and flesh that I used to eat. I feel great.

Why Christians Get Sick

Book is a gem giving facts and Biblical references to support the facts. I read in one sitting but intend to go back and really study and apply during the second reading.

A Taste That Kills

Every year, over 2 million people die. Most die from heart attacks or some kind of cancer. Some say its in our genes. But, everyone must also eat. It can be shown that we are what we eat and do physically. There is a taste that kills. But, some people love their food more than a healthy lifestyle. They will eat their favorite foods until they drop. Healing lines, hospitals, and cemetaries become full from them. The tongue is like the rudder on a ship. It may be small, but it steers the whole ship. Where is your tongue steering you? Read this book to find out. Note that an animal designed to naturally eat meat (lion) has a straight intestinal tract to get the meat out quickly. A human's intestinal tract is very windy and all coiled up. Consequently, meat can stay there for over 70 hours. In that time, the meat can become rancid and breed bacteria which leads to disease. Combine that with popular low fiber foods (devoid of natural fiber, enzymes, and vitamins) and one gets diverticulitous (bulging of the intestinal wall that traps more food). Now, the immune system is weakened for the lack of natural ingredients and we become vulnerable to viruses and bacteria. A doctor will then prescribe antibiotics, which are very efficient. The bad bacteria is killed along with good bacteria. Then, the yeast found in everyone grows out control, making over 80 toxins, thus making us sicker than before. This and more from the monster of processed foods sweeps many people to their fate. Sometimes, you just have to go with the flow. Unless, one reads this book ...

A wake-up call to Christians

People who condemn this book on a biblical basis are missing a couple of very important points. First, the foods which comprise our contemporary diets are a far cry from the foods of biblical times, what with the modern use of pesticides, hormones, preservatives, etc. Second, St. Paul very clearly states "All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify." (1 Cor. 10:23 NAS) Malkmus does not maintain that eating certain foods will send you to hell or sever your relationship with God, only that they will cause additional burdens of sickness and premature death. He accurately points out that Christianity has devoted itself almost entirely to the spiritual side of man while ignoring the physical side. Remember it was God who created the physical body and declared that His creation was good (Gen 1:31). All that being said, my most compelling reason for giving this book a favorable review is the fact I have personally used the Malkmus program which has resulted in a level of personal health I never thought possible...as a man in my mid-forties I have regained the vigor of my twenties!

A bombshell of health and nutrition truth.

The five white dangers listed in this book are a revolution. If every American avoided these foods (which most Americans make as eighty percent of their diet) and applied the simple principles of this book, the nation's average life expectancy would jump to 90-100 years.The arguments on this page are respectable, and there are a number of things meat eaters must consider when they attempt to justify their meat eating with the argument that "they ate meat in the Bible."When God created the earth, everything was perfect. The plants, animals, soil-everything! Now how could anyone who believes in Creation say that the diet given to perfect humans in a perfect Creation was NOT perfect? According to the Bible, humans didn't eat meat or dairy until after the fall, when the world and God's Creation were no longer perfect. Thus, the diet degenerated into imperfection. Now, in the less-than-perfect world after the fall into sin, all creatures ate whatever they could get-food wasn't perfect anymore. Jesus ate what He could get in the imperfect world conditions just like everyone else. So do most Americans, unknowingly, living in ignorance. They have the means and the resources that Bible people and Jesus didn't have.And now science is finally uncovering that the original diet God gave in His perfect Creation was the one ideal for man. And the great economy and bounty of these present times make obtaining this prefect diet from a perfect Creation more obtainable, unlike in Bible times. According to the Bible, this meatless, dairy-less diet is the one God originally gave man and the one by which God intended His creation to be sustained!This book tells you how to obtain this nearly perfect diet (hey, nothing is absolutely perfect after the fall). By simply following the principles of this book, I've witnessed my energy soar. I need 2-3 hours LESS sleep than I did eating the average American diet. Everyone should try eating by this book's principals-for at least a couple weeks. They will show you what true health really is.(Note: Some of the following information was gathered from various sources.)Still think humans are designed to eat meat, even though when God designed us, we didn't eat meat? Well, read this information from the author of this book in an article he wrote about the subject:"Often in my seminars, Christians will challenge me by stating that people ate meat in the Bible. "That may be true," I answer, "but the meat in Bible days and the meat our forefathers ate was a totally different animal!" The meat in Bible days and the meat our forefathers ate was only about 3 percent fat. Beef, the way it is grown today is 20 to 30 percent fat...while pork is 40 to 60 percent fat! Nor was the meat our forefathers ate full of antibiotics, growth hormones, preservatives, toxins and cancer! Nor did they pasteurize and homogenize their milk or produce eggs in wire cages without benefit of daylight, green
