I am not familiar with the Hallelujah Diet, but I do know that the Old
Testament laws on food are basically what is now known as a Kosher diet,
which is followed by many Othodox Jews. From what I can tell (I am not a
doctor nor a nutritionist nor am I Jewish), a Kosher diet is very healthful
and full of variety. A very pure way to eat, free from many processed
items, chemicals, and possibly unhealthy food combinations.
We must be careful what we assume about things we are not entirely familiar
with, especially when we debunk a diet, method, or system of belief that in
itself is not harmful. The mother you mention with the orange milk, seemily
caused by a high consumption of carrots, was very unlikely to be following a
diet mandated by Old Testament laws regardless of what book she told you she
was following. I would suspect that, regardless of the colour of the
mother's milk, there was much more going on with the breastfeeding
management in her case, so as to render her supply insufficient.
For example, a mother with this type of religious conviction may be,
unknowingly, following erroneous teachings such as those found in Babywise,
etc.
Blessings!
