Hallelujah Acres Just Another Vitamin Supplement Business?
Critics of the Hallelujah Diet accuse Hallelujah Acres of being primarily a vitamin supplement business.
Is it? After all, if the diet and lifestyle are so good, do we need any nutritional supplements at all?
Is Hallelujah Acres just another vitamin supplement business?
Why supplement a good diet?
Toxicity and deficiency- the cause of all disease.
Toxicity and deficiency- the reasons we need nutritional supplements.
We need nutritional supplements to help us overcome nutritional deficiency.
There are several reasons why our diets are nutritionally deficient today.
Our food does not contain optimal nutrition. Modern day farming practices have depleted the soil's nutrients, so the food grown in that soil lacks the nutrients needed to keep people healthy.
Our diets, for most of us, are not the best. Some days we don't eat enough fresh fruit and vegetables. Some days we eat too much junk. Some days we eat too much cooked food. We are not perfect- and our diets aren't either!
And even if we eat 100% Hallelujah Diet 100% of the time, there are things beyond our control that deplete the nutrients in our food.
Unless we harvest all of our food from our gardens, we can't control the time and temperature of the food from harvest on. We really have no idea how much nutrition is left in our food by the time we buy it.
And even if our food nutrition is 100% intact when we eat it, there are factors that interfere with digestion and absorption.
Some of these factors are medications, diseases such as Crohn's and celiac, food intolerances and allergies, and even certain food combinations.
We need nutritional supplements to help us to overcome toxicity.
In today's world we are surrounded by pollution and toxins- our air, our water, food chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, detergents- the list could go on and on.
We breath pollution. We drink pollution. We eat pollution. We wear pollution.
Fortunately, God has created our bodies to be capable of detoxifying itself- to a point.
With continual toxic assault, our body does reach a point of fatigue. We need to assist detoxification as much as possible.
Some ways we can help our body to detoxify:
- Get adequate rest
- Eat nutritious foods
- Drink filtered or distilled water
- Filter the air we breath with filters or plants
- Manage stress
- Exercise and rebound to mobilize our lymph system
- Eat foods rich in chlorophyll, such as greens and BarleyMax
By helping us to overcome nutritional deficiency and to detoxify, nutritional supplementation helps us to fortify our immune system, helping us to fight off infections and diseases.
Supplements help us to optimize our health and minimize the risk of disease.
Supplementation on the Hallelujah Diet
So, is it fair to say that Hallelujah Acres is just another vitamin supplement business?
When I look at the amount of supplementation recommended on the Hallelujah diet compared to others, I find that Hallelujah
Acres is probably one of the least supplemented diets out there.
While Hallelujah Acres does offer a variety of vitamin and nutritional supplements, the number actually considered an
essential part of the HA diet is minimal.
First, let's look at what Hallelujah Acres considers basic essentials on the Hallelujah Diet and why...
| Supplement | Daily Serving | Purpose | Substitute Available? | Cost per Serving | Cost per Day | Cost per Month |
|---|
| BarleyMax | 2 to 3 tsp | nutritional enhancement needed because our food is nutrient deficient | None | 33 cents | 66 to 99 cents | $19.80 to $29.70 | | Fiber Cleanse | 1 to 2 tbsp. | detoxification for the first 2-3 months on the diet | B-Flax-D or flax seed | $0.54 to $1.08 | $0.54 to $1.08 | $16.20 to $32.40 | | B-Flax-D | one-fourth cup | correct nutritional deficiencies/detoxify- can be used instead of Fiber Cleanse, Udo's Oil, and Vitamin B12 | Fiber Cleanse, Udo's Oil and Vitamin B12 | 73 cents | 73 cents | $21.90 | | B12-B6-Folic acid | 1 tablet | provide Vitamin B12 supplementation needed for a vegan diet | ? other brands of unknown quality | 25 cents | 25 cents | $7.50 | | Udo's Oil | 1 to 3 TBSP | provide essential omega fatty acids3 | B-Flax-D (above) | 91 cents | 91 cents to $2.72 | $27.30 to $81.605 | The absolute basic supplements for the Hallelujah Diet are BarleyMax and B-Flax-D, which would cost you a $1.72 per day total. So, really, basic supplementation at $1.72 per day isn't what you would expect from just another vitamin supplement business! Why Hallelujah Acres Offers Additional Supplements and ProductsAs the ministry of Hallelujah Acres grew, more and more people contacted Hallelujah Acres with requests for various supplements. Hallelujah Acres researched and provided the highest quality supplements. Also, as the Hallelujah Acres Foundation's research discovered beneficial supplementation, that was offered, too. I think all in all, Hallelujah Acres supplementation is conservative at best. To accuse Hallelujah Acres of being just another vitamin supplement business is unjustified.
