Ministry update
Dear
Friends,
If I
didn't know better, I'd say it is SPRING!
Temperatures
in Maine have been delightfully balmy for several
weeks,
causing those with cabin fever to bolt outside and
drink in
the sun and air. Nevertheless, we Mainers celebrate
the
warm with caution, knowing that winter may not, in
fact, be
over. After all, it has snowed in May. While
recalling such
chilly reminders of years past can dampen one's
spirit,
we are optimistic that our spring has sprung
unusually early
this year and will not be spoiled by remnants of
winter. So
it is that we find great delight in seeing the ground
again
and discovering that some leftovers from last year's
garden
are already greening up. These gentle, green
reminders
hold great inspiration for the would-be gardener who
fondly
looks over the land with visions of lettuce, kale,
cucumbers,
tomatoes, etc. dancing in the head. Soon it will be
time to
engage the ground again for the sake of optimum
health!
While we once again enjoy the great outdoors and
contemplate our 2010 garden, thoughts turn to the
subject of
food production. Allowing for the importance of this
topic,
our HANDS-ON HEALTH meeting this week will
feature
the documentary, 'FOOD, Inc.'
This expose of food
production in America promises to educate on the ins
and
outs of the food industry. If you value food, your
hard-earned
dollar, and your health, you will want to
see this eye-opening
film. What you learn could convince you to make
healthier
choices for yourself and your family. For more

meeting

By way
of report, our fourth annual LIVE FOOD DINNER
was a resounding success. Twenty six
attendees enjoyed
a live smorgasbord of incredibly delicious salads,
soups,
nut dishes, and desserts. There were few, if any
leftovers!
The evening was topped off with Tom Murphy's
excellent
presentation about industriual hemp. Enthusiasm ran
high
and questions abounded as Tom filled us in on the
history,
uses, and politics of hemp cultivation in the US.
Everyone
left with glowing reports of an evening well-spent
and
asked for more! Many are now hungering to feast on
live
food more often. We'll see where this corporate
appetite
takes us! Stay tuned!
Meanwhile, those of us at The Living Way are seeing a
surge of interest in the health message. Private
counselling
sessions are on the increase as are private
'show-and-tells'
in our kitchen. Invariably I am blending up green
smoothies
and passing them around. At every opportunity, we
encourage the live food lifestyle by showing others
that
eating healthy is not only tasty but fun! Be part of
the action
by sharing the good news, 'You don't have to be
sick!'
To help spread the health message, a new
Video On
Demand (VOD) is being aired on Time-Warner
Channel 9 Cable TV in the New England area. 'The
Raw Diet' is the work of fellow health
enthusiast, Ed Porter,
who interviewed Drs. George Malkmus and Brian Clement
when in Maine last fall. Ed's production is what I
consider a
fine appetizer for the TV audience, giving an
introduction
to the live food lifestyle. We hope the video will be
well-
received and elicit a demand for more. Thank you, Ed,
for
stepping up to the plate to help spread the health
message!
In closing, we appreciate the efforts of each one who
is
persevering to gain a better quality of life and
overcome (in
some cases) life-threatening illnesses. Many are
making
excellent progress, for which we are thankful.
However, it
is our sad duty to report that not all lives have
happy endings.
Within the last few months, we have lost three who
refused
the Hallelujah Diet. Another is slowly dying of
cancer at the
hands of the medical profession, having refused to
change
his diet. These tragedies need not be. So it is that
many
perish by choice. We are sorry for the SAD
commentary,
but may this report be a sobering reminder that diet
does
have a profound impact on one's life destiny.
Therefore
make every effort to take life seriously. The choice
is up
to you.

3) Feature
Article: "The Importance of Oil"
When it comes to
resources, oil ranks as one of the world's
most precious, sought-after commodities. It shapes
lives,
governments, and nations. There is hardly a way that
oil
does not touch our lives daily. Nevertheless, for all
the vast
importance placed upon oil, little emphasis is given
to the
body's need for oil. Much like a finely-built
machine, the
body requires oil to function properly. Thus,
understanding
the importance and nature of oil becomes imperative
for
the achievement of optimum health.
Research proves that
not all oils are friendly to the body.
There are healthy oils and not-so-healthy oils.
Technically
speaking, oils are fats that are derived from mostly
plant
sources. Many kinds of fats/oils exist: saturated
fats,
monosaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, transfatty
acids
hydrogenated oils, partially dehydrogenated oils, and
more. Without a doubt, a controversy over oils and
fats
has errupted lately, and wars are currently being
waged
concerning what fat/oil is good or bad. While the
debate
continues, the fact remains that certain fats are
essential
for the life of the body. Without proper and regular
'oiling',
cells die, body systems shut down, degeneration
(disease)
sets in, and death results.

5) Buying tips
and order info
BioGreen Clean
If you want a
friendly, non-toxic approach to cleaning, we
recommend that you give BioGreen Clean a try. This
earth-friendly cleaner is a combination of powerful
plant
enzymes that tackles cleaning jobs of all sizes and
types.
As a multi-purpose cleaner, it is also safe enough
for
personal use (shampoo, bath suds, etc.) Many people
believe that BioGreen Clean out-performs Miracle II.
We
agree. When Hallelujah Acres discontinued their
cleaning
product line, we searched for a new solution to
household
cleaning. After using Simple Green and Miracle II, we
have
happily settled on BioGreen Clean. Learn more about
this
remarkable cleaner at http://www.biogreenclean.com
Equipment purchases
If you want to purchase a juicer,
dehydrator, VitaMix, etc., please order
directly through us. Your order can be drop-shipped
in a matter of days. Other materials and products
exclusive of HA can be purchased from us by
appointment. Call us to make arrangements.

Recipe:
Chocolate
Pudding
Since adopting the
Hallelujah Diet, chocolate disappeared from our lives
for no other reason than we no longer hungered for
it. A few months ago, however, my tastebuds took a
turn. They wanted something chocolate. So, I pulled
out a bag of raw cacao powder that we had purchased
many months ago but never opened. Now, I decided, it
was time to try this popular and prized superfood. A
few smoothies, dessert 'soups,' and special puddings
later I can see why chocolate is a delightful
delicacy. Here is a simple, raw approach to a popular
pudding that is easy to make and pleasant to the
pallette.
2 small-medium apples
1 celery stalk
1 Tbsp. shredded coconut (unsweetened/unsulphured)
1 rounded tsp. raw cacao powder (or raw carob powder)
1 rounded tsp. hemp protein powder (rich in EFAs!)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. coriander
1 cup approx. purified water
Blend ingredients with
enough water to achieve a creamy,
smooth consistency. This is a very rich pudding! For
added
variety, blend in 1/2 avocado if you dare. Savor and
smile!
Organic ingredients recommended.
