“A Good Healthy Day”

I would like to share with you my idea of a good healthy day. These are the kind of days I aim for during the week. Not everyday works out this way, however, many do. When they do, I feel on top of the world. I like to string as many together as I can. Even those days that don’t work out exactly as I like, I try to implement as much of this daily menu as I can. So I will share my goal for a normal day, as well as a few of my lunch recipes. This kind of lifestyle/diet can bring healing and good health for many decades.

Monday Morning through Saturday

7 am – Hydration Drink—16 ounces of distilled water with 1 eighth teaspoon sea salt and a teaspoon of Barley Max. Like fluids to an automobile. Oiling the joints.

Staying hydrated is one of the most important things we can do for our bodies and good health. Try to drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of pure water a day. I believe Raw juice and green tea count.

7:25 am – Push-ups, sit-ups, dumbbell exercises. Helps detox and alkaline the body. Wakes up the mind.

8 am – Power Drink—BarleyMax, CarrotMax, BeetMax in 8 ounces of distilled water, or freshly juiced carrot, celery, beet with Barley Max. Oh the energy!!

9 am – Fiber Drink—16 ounces distilled water with heaping tablespoon B-Flax-D, a bit of psyllium and a large teaspoon of fresh raw bee pollen. Need the colon to work at 100%.

10 am – Chlorella tablets and saw palmetto capsule in 8 ounces distilled water. Chlorella for ridding the mercury (silver fillings on teeth) and palmetto because I’m at that age (prostate maintenance).

10:30 am – Green Tea with some raw honey. YUM!

11 am – Barley Max

11:30 am – Country walk on country road. “Take me home to the place I belong, West Virginia….I mean Pennsylvania.”

12 Noon – Hallelujah! It’s lunch time. It is either a Green Smoothie, a green salad or my own unique concoction. I stay raw for optimal energy and staying alkaline. My body can heal and rebuild better this way. If you are interested, here are our recipes for these 3 lunches:

Lunch #1 My own unique concoction! What would you name it?

1 tablespoon raw honey

1-2 teaspoons fresh raw bee pollen

1 tablespoon raw almond butter

couple shakes of cinnamon powder

1 tablespoon elderberry formula from Honey Gardens

1 handful raw sunflower seeds

Stir

Add 1 banana sliced

When done, eat a small handful of raw pumpkin seeds and a few raw almonds. If I am really hungry, I will eat a raw blueberry bar from Hallelujah Acres.

Lunch #2 Green Smoothie for two in a blender

2 tablespoons raw honey

4 teaspoons fresh raw bee pollen

Frozen organic strawberries

Frozen wild blueberries

1 1/2 frozen bananas

distilled water to help blend everything

spinach, kale, romaine lettuce, spring mix, sprouts. Whatever greens you want. Should be 40% to 60% greens.

Blend

Suggested toppings—almond butter, raw nuts and seeds, raw coconut, blueberries, sliced apple, sliced mango, etc….

Lunch #3 Green Salad

Greens, tomatoes, onions, sprouts, cucumbers, broccoli, (any favorite veggies), sunflower seeds, avocado, herbs, and crumbled up Foods Alive Raw flax crackers. So Good!

I like to use Foods Alive raw flax oil dressings. They are delicious and good for you. You can also use Braggs organic apple cider vinegar and flax or olive oil.

We carry the Foods Alive and Braggs.

1:30 pm – Green Tea (No honey) I had too much already.

2:30 pm – Power Drink (Same as 8 am)

3:30 pm – Chlorella and saw palmetto again

4:30 pm – Chlorella again. Hey, I have a lot of fillings and you can’t have too many greens.

5:30 pm – Dinner!!! Large Green salad and then I have cooked whole foods. Now my energy will go down slightly as my body digests the cooked.

I take some whole food supplements with dinner. If you think supplements are wrong, Jack La Lanne takes 40 a day. He has a hot marriage, a hot sports car, and he’s 95. So, I’ll take my supplements with dinner, thank you. They are:

1—Kelp

2—Micro-Max (sea minerals and veggies) from H.Acres

3—Curcumin from H.Acres for cholesterol, cancer tumors. What can I say. It’s a high anti-oxidant.

4—Digestive enzymes

5—Chlorella, Yes again!

6—Probiotic sometimes.

Sounds crazy, don’t it?? Not to me. I think it happened after I turned 50. At least that’s what I tell people.

I don’t fear disease. I have not been to the doctors since 1995 (That’s when he told me I was incurable and it was hopeless). Who wants to listen to a negative report?) I rarely have a cold. If so, it lasts only 2 or 3 days. I never have the flu. I feel good. I have lots of energy. When I fall down I bounce….most of the time. God gets ALL the Glory for this.

Now, if you have time, I would like to talk briefly about the most powerful food in the entire world:

Raw, Fresh Bee Pollen!

We are getting so many testimonies from the market place on this food. One lady who had sinus problems galore took too much. She went home and ate a heaping tablespoon for the first time in her life (You are supposed to start with a very tiny piece, the size of the head of a pin). She vomited…..and she was immediately healed completely of her sinus problems.

A man came to our shop at Hometown Market a few weeks ago with arthritis in his hands. Within two weeks, it is going away. I asked him how much he is taking and how often. He told me 2 tablespoons, two times a day. I have been told that is too much, but I guess not for him.

Bee pollen is the only, I say the only perfect food in the world. It contains all the nutrition the human body needs. They have discovered hundreds of folks in Northern Russia well over 100 years of age still active in their villages, who eat pollen everyday. I mean well over 100. I’ve read around 120 yrs of age.

Here are just some of the benefits of fresh raw bee pollen:

#1 Helps alleviate Anemia

#2 Anti-Biotic (Natural)

#3 Anti-wrinkle—Retards aging of the skin. The skin becomes younger looking, smoother and healthier.

#4 Muscle building protein for strength and stamina—great for weight lifters

#5 Profound revitalizing effect on elderly people. (Energy for all ages)

#6 Excellent treatment for constipation

#7 Curbs appetite in the obese. Stimulates appetite in the anemic.

I have a very good source of fresh pollen from Walt at Swarmbustin’, in a very pristine part of Chester County Pennsylvania. Believe it or not, they still have fox hunts there.

.

Legally I can’t tell you any food can heal the body. Hippocrates can (“Let your food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food”).He said that 2000 yrs ago. But then Hippocrates didn’t live in a country where his freedom of speech was being slowly taken away. Did I say that? No. Not me. My fingers, in some kind of freaky evolutionary manner, over a period of many eons of seconds, just happened to spell out those words by complete chance.

Seriously, I can say that I have seen many healed after eating certain foods, and have experienced healing myself after changing my diet/lifestyle. What a co-incidence. But then, I do not believe in co-incidence. Wow! I am going off the deep end tonight. Let’s get back to serious stuff.

For the record, there are some very good medical doctors out there. Dorothy and I know some, and study the books of others. There is Doctor Peter Baddick from Weissport (used to be the medic for the Pittsburgh Steelers), and now one of our terrific customers. There’s Doctor Lydia Shilling, also a friend (healed of colon cancer via the Hallelujah Diet), Dr. Joel Fuhrman (Nationally known medical doctor for getting diabetics healed in less than 4 weeks). He was an Olympic skater, crippled in an accident and told he would never walk again. He does.

There is also Dr. McDougal, Dr. Neal Bernard, Dr. Lorraine Day (Head surgeon for the San Francisco General Hospital for 20 years). She was on her deathbed with breast cancer and healed through the Hallelujah Diet and plenty of fresh, clean water. These are just a few. There are many more who believe in the natural ways.

Ladies and Gentlemen. I live the Hallelujah Diet, which, Praise the Lord, has brought my body back to life from a serious disease. It’s basically a diet of mainly raw veggie juices, whole grains, and fruits and vegetables at its core.

I have been told by natural beekeepers, and books by natural beekeepers, that the honey bee is a gift from God, our friends, and they create a fountain of youth in the golden nectar of raw honey, fresh pollen and propolis.

Through Hallelujah Hive, we are infusing healthier diet/lifestyle along with the natural creations of the honeybees to ultimately help you experience quality life.

Could this be the discovery of the ages, the infamous fountain of youth from the legend of old……..??????? NOT! But it’s a lot of fun and a great way to live a lot healthier.

Thanks for listening.

Hope to see you at the markets this week,

Mark

Hi Friends,

Happy Memorial Day! Remembering those who have given their lives for America that we might have the freedoms we enjoy inspires me. I am truly thankful for these folks, and I have hope for this country because I believe God honors what our forefathers and the fallen soldiers have done unselfishly in God’s Name.

Thanks for opening the Note today. Please Enjoy!

“Hallelujah Hive Natural Soaps”

It was about 5 or 6 years ago that Dorothy had the idea of creating our own natural soaps. Dorothy was already looking for pure natural soap when we started going out together back in 1982. Finally, in the 21st Century she asked me if she were to develop a totally natural soap, do I think folks would buy it at the market? John, our market neighbor, said it would. Thank you John!! We decided it didn’t matter. If nobody bought the soap, we would use it.

You know, even though we have a lot of problems here, this country is still a neat wonderful place to go after the American dream. We’re not making 600 bars a day or more, like some of these over night success soap companies, but we have a lot of happy customers who keep coming back for the 3 for $12 or the 12 for $45 deals. There are even several shops in New England, Canada, and the great state of Pennsylvania, who carry our natural soaps.

Anyway, we are now carrying about 25 different soaps, the most popular being Oatmeal & Honey, followed by Lovely Lavender, Patchouli, Cocoa Butter, and Minty Fresh.

Brand new, this week at the markets, we will have on the shelf, “Balsam & Elder” natural soap. The ingredients include balsam fir needle essential oil and crushed organic elderberry flowers with a nice natural evergreen color. The organic elder flowers are from our friends, Jacinthe and Sylvain, owners of an organic elderberry farm in Quebec. Thank you, Jacinthe, for it was your idea to create this soap to begin with, and thank you also for sending us the elder flowers for the soap. These same two ingredients are also found in their Elderberry Salve for arthritis and inflammation pain, which we carry.

Next week, we plan to unveil our first 100% organic soap called, “Vanilla Bean”. Have you ever smelled the fragrance of organic vanilla? It is awesome, so light, alluring and gentle. We also use this same organic vanilla in our new Organic Vanilla Skin Cream. We hope to offer these soon on our website, but for now, they are only sold at the markets.

For those who are wondering what our natural soap is all about:

Hallelujah Hive Natural Soaps

Our all-natural soaps are handmade in small batches the old-fashioned way using olive oil and other vegetable oils.

Pure essential oils release their lovely perfume and aromatherapy in every bar. Those who know us know we love our honey! Raw honey is in every recipe since it helps to draw and retain moisture to the skin as well as add healing benefits. To help create a harder and longer lasting bar of soap, we use beeswax or cocoa butter.

When ready, the soaps are hand cut and cured for at least 3 weeks. And wow! Do they smell great! We hope you enjoy our homemade soaps as much as we do!

Soap Ingredients:

saponified oils of olive, coconut, palm, sunflower and/or safflower, and castor, shea butter, bees wax, raw honey, and essential oils.

Shampoo/Body Bar Ingredients:

saponified oils of coconut, palm, castor, olive, sunflower and or safflower, and jojoba, cocoa butter, shea butter, sweet almond oil, wheat germ oil, raw honey, and essential oils.

May also contain:

apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, organic or non-irradiated spices, herbs, flower petals or buds, grains, and natural plant derived colorants.

Hometown & Green Dragon Farmers Markets!

Super Food – “Fresh Bee Pollen”!

Please accept no imitations. Walt, the Pennsylvania beekeeper’s pollen, is not only fresh, it is organically made, and it tastes sweet and delicious. Now Walt has not been able to certify his pollen organic yet. It is hard to certify pollen and honey, since the bees do have a mind of their own, and one or two may decide to visit a farm 10 miles down the road with some sprayed flowers. Not likely, but it is hard to prove.

I know I talked about fresh pollen in the last Note, but I am really excited about it, seeing what I am seeing in the testimonies of our folks at the markets, and even my own body. By just doubling the amount of pollen I eat a day, I have lost weight in my tummy and gained more noticeable strength in my exercise routines.

We are seeing results in our customers with arthritis, allergies, sinus problems, and more.

Walt, the beekeeper, tells me he eats 4 to 5 tablespoons on a normal day. In fact, he says many days he lives on pollen and water until dinner.

I have increased my dosage to about 1 tablespoon twice a day. However, I saw results when I ate just 2 teaspoons once a day.

Here is a testimony sent today through our guest page on our website:

My Mom and I have been taking the Pollen since Friday and have both noticed dramatic results. We are telling everyone about it. As for you I wish I had met you long ago, you are good people and the whole world should know about the products you sell. Oh wait we already do, just not everone takes the products. We will be back on friday this coming week to buy more pollen. Love to you and your wife.

Tupelo Honey!

100% Certified Raw, Unheated, Unfiltered Tupelo Honey from the white tupelo trees that grow in the Apalachicola River basin in North West Florida.

Yes, Hallelujah Hive will now be carrying Don Smiley’s Tupelo Honey. Don is the beekeeper and owner of Smiley Apiaries. From what Don tells me, Tupelo honey, although it is totally raw, stays liquid indefinitely.

If all goes well, our first shipment should arrive in time for this Friday’s Green Dragon Market. This is just the first in a series of new raw honey harvests this summer and fall, including honey from North Carolina.

According to “Woman’s Day” magazine (It was lying around the house), I quote: “Honey is moving out of the kitchen and into the medicine cabinet as scientists continue to uncover surprising evidence of its health benefits. The biggest news so far: Honey can ease many of the common and unpleasant side effects of cancer treatments, and helps stomach ulcers heal faster, according to new research reported at a conference in Athens, Greece, on the medical uses of honey.

Honey is also a natural antiseptic, killing harmful bacteria, reducing inflammation and clearing infections.

Many types of bacteria have become anti-biotic resistant and don’t respond to conventional ointments,” says Peter Molan, Ph.D., professor of biological sciences at the University of Waikato in New Zealand. “But honey clears up these infections without a problem.” End of Quote…..

Off the record, these scientists could have saved themselves a lot of time and taxpayer money if they had just asked some of you folks, our customers, or a couple of our natural beekeeper friends like Todd or Walt what the benefits of raw honey are.

Ordering!

For ordering by postal service any of our fabulous natural products, you can call Dorothy or me at 570-401-1353, or order on-line at www.HallelujahHive.com

Word of Wisdom!

Don’t believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see. Judge on the testimonies of the people.

Study those who are very healthy or have been totally healed of disease. Look at the common denominators of what they did, such as their diets, stress levels, exercise habits etc.

I studied folks, many who were up there in age, who had beaten terminal disease. Some of their common denominators were that they all drank a lot of fresh water, ate mostly whole raw foods, built their meals around vegetables, exercised, etc.

You may have seen it, there is a commercial on TV that says corn syrup is good for you. Oh Yeah?? Where’s the testimonies of the folks living long healthy lives from eating corn syrup?

It is not just common denominators, it’s common sense, good old “Horse Sense”. God gave us everything we need in nature to be 100% healthy.

“He created a Garden for Adam & Eve, not a Pharmacy.”

When I was a kid in a more non-politically correct America, people would tell me to eat my greens, and stay away from drugs. Were people smarter when I was a kid? I mean, a doctor visit cost my family about $5. Doctor Sanson would give us free medicine and common sense advice. Oh, here I go again, off on a tangent. I’ll stop here. Thanks for listening.

Hope to see you folks at the markets this week. And remember, Forks Farmers Market starts Saturday June 12th at 10 am.
