Testimony of Bernie Saftler
Dear Anita,
I must tell you how pleased I am with the results of my
association with the Hallelujah Acres diet, and your instructions
and enthusiasm.
In November, 2004, while checking out a small
physical problem, my internist took an unrelated chest x-ray. The
original problem was easily corrected, but the x-ray showed a tumor
in my right lung. Surgery followed and a malignant tumor was removed
from my lung. A lymph node was removed, analyzed, and found to be
malignant also, so it had metasticized.
I told the oncologist
that I didn't want any treatment. I've seen too many people suffer(
and some die ) from chemo. I lost my wife 2 years ago to lung cancer
that had been treated with radiation.
One of the nurses that
came to my house (Donna) told me about you and your "diet". When you
told me of what your diet consisted, and what it tried to do, I
thought it made a lot of sense, and I gave it "full speed
ahead".
As you know, I have adhered to the diet very
strictly, since it was my life in the balance. I have been a
believer in exercise for many years, especially since I had a heart
bypass 16 years ago, so the exercise part of the diet was fairly
easy. I also had the poor judgement to smoke for 30 years- from my
U.S. Navy days at 20 years old til 50 when I quit. As for the food
portion, I made up my mind that I would do it, and I did. And I
really do like the taste of carrot juice.
Being human, I
would lose my resolve at times, but thanks to your optimistic
attitude, I too became very optimistic. It was much easier to "stick
with it " with you behind me. Some of my very close friends keep
saying that could never keep to the H. Acres diet, but they don't
know you.
Finding the time and patience to juice carrots and
make salad, and diversify my diet were easy problems to conquer, and
are now second nature to me.
Three months after surgery, a
Cat scan was done, and they said it showed "no new growths", which
was very heartening
Six months after surgery, a Cat scan showed
"Absolutely no sign of any cancer" To say I am thrilled is a long
way from my actual elation.
I must say that this diet has had
me feeling so healthy and strong that I really knew I was going to
be O.K. I still remember buying Tums in the large economy package,
but I haven't taken even one since I started this diet.
As
you know, I'll be 83 next month ( Aug. ), and must thank you again
for this wonderful feeling of good health and vigor. (which I need
when playing with my 4 great grandchildren)
With admiration
and love,
Bernie Saftler
