Sarai’s Tumor has Shrank!

Day 31 of juicing and eating Raw – These last two weeks I added wild-caught salmon from Alaska. I cook it with only lemon nothing else and no seasoning, not even oil. The lemon works as the oil base. Still very good; avocado helps a lot. I’m still alive and better than healthy believe it or not. I still haven’t had a chance to go to the doctor for a follow-up. I’m down 24 pounds but most importantly the tumor has drastically shrunk. Can I hear an Amen! 🤓☝🏽 Let’s see – today is the first day I added bread and one corn tortilla not sure how my body will react to it but we’ll see and that’s just for today. I prefer not to add any dairy or gluten because I’ve gotten faster results that way and that’s just me though. I can’t wait for the end result of it all. I know God has something amazingly crazy planned for this new journey of mine and I can honestly say I’m more focused and energized than ever before! —Sarai, What to Eat and Juice When You Have Cancer, March 2018

Karen Has New Mental Clarity and Energy!

“Yesterday was my last day of the 30 Day Detox Challenge and I cannot tell you how great I feel! My body feels so clean! I have mental clarity and energy like no other. My skin is glowing…people who see me say “you look great”… I have had others ask my friends – what is Karen doing…she looks great! I have lost weight…I didn’t weigh before I started because my goal was not to lose weight as much as it was to detox. Weight loss is just a by product of doing what is good for the body. I would have to say I have lost 15 pounds at least. I believe in detoxing the body and your program has been awesome. I hope you keep us up to date on upcoming challenges. I do want to be part of the group that you set up for the juicing recipes etc. May God continue to use you to help others restore their health!” — Karen, February 2017

Lou Ann’s Pain is Gone

“This was the first time I ever, ever went on any kind of diet [30-Day Detox].  The first week was hard, but I am glad I made it through the whole three weeks.  I have not taken any sinus meds since and I’ve had no headaches. I only have knee pain that is mild compared to the level of knee and elbow pain I had been in for more than eight months while taking NSAIDs. This was ALL my doctor could do for me. I am very soon to be 63 years old. I’m a black female who used to exercise regularly until my knees started aching all the time. The only other meds I now take are vitamins. I’m a southern lady who loves to cook and eat, “ha, ha, ha.”  I have just purchased The Juice Lady’s Anti-inflammation Diet book and am devouring it.  Thanks so very much for all you do.      —Lou Ann, November 2017

Jumpstart, 30 Day Detox Challenge, 10 Step Sugar Detox

“In June, 2014, I first began juicing. Within the first month, I drastically reduced my high sugar consumption to almost total elimination. I vigilantly maintained that for one year. June, 2015, a little more sugar crept in. As the months went on, though I kept juicing, sugar got more of a foothold. The holidays were tougher to get thru. By the end of this winter, I had stopped juicing and was back in the sugar bowl. Oddest thing. In the past, sugar had been ‘helpful.’ Calming, rewarding and something I used to manage my energy. For decades, I used sugar for energy and reward. After juicing for about 20 months, going back to sugar wreaked havoc with my system. Before, it had been calming. This time, I got agitated, cranky, hyper, restless and had no peace. Pleasure/reward wasn’t there longer than a few seconds. The good things I’ve been doing since June, 2014 appear to be stronger than the decades of poor habits. Though there’s been tension to get off the path since last June, that one faithful year of juicing and eliminating most sugar/caffeine has given me tremendous strength to overcome decades of a sugar addiction.” Judy

30 Day Detox Challenge

“This is the 3rd week for me and was so happy to look in the mirror and see ALL the cellulite in the back area GONE!! The skin is as smooth and toned as could be, without having worked out since we started. Wow, just wow! Keep up the work, everyone, it’s so worth it. Also, I am not weighing till monday but I can tell I’ve lost a lot!”   —Jonida, February 2016

“I want you to know that this 30-day challenge has been a great experience. I have lost 15 pounds, feel so much better, less bloated and more energy. My sense of smell has been sharper. Your expertise and support have been wonderful with all of us. It has been great reading the comments from others and supporting each other in this group. Already planning on doing this again in 6 months to reach deeper in obtaining a higher level of health. I will be starting the JumpStart diet tomorrow and looking forward to losing more weight. Thanks so much for your help. By the way, this has been 30 days with no coffee and never missed it!” – Claudia, February 2016

“I’m in week 2 (liver/gallbladder cleanse) and I’ve got to report that I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER! I have to admit that I’ve been having a tough time following all the schedule and drinking some of the recommended concoctions…but it is starting to pay off. Sleeping SO MUCH BETTER, brain fog is gone. Overall I have so much more energy! And the bonus is that I’m seeing numbers on my weight scale that I haven’t seen in 27 years…I’m down to pre-pregnancy weight and I’M SO THANKFUL!! Thank you, Cherie!! It has been tough but I am going to make it. Persevere… you will make it too and it’s so worth it!! –Karen, January 2016

“I have detoxed several different ways over the years – Para Cleanse – Fasting – Juicing – Foot Detox – Life Vessel to name a few! However- this fast (it’s a 3-5 day fast; then a healthy diet to follow) with Cherie Calbom is AMAZING! The Blessed Herbs Colon Cleansing Kit and the Internal Cleansing Kit is worth every penny!!!! It is too confusing for me to try this 30 day detox on my own, but the Kit has a daily calendar to follow & Cherie’s lessons,  counseling & recipes make it all easy! I am excited to be an Energetic Person in 2016!!!  Looking forward to the journey to great health!”  —Mary Alice, January 2016

“I’m so excited! After years of being in constant pain, doing the juicing and colon cleanse has alleviated a good portion of the pain. I can’t wait for the next phase (of the cleanse program)! Thanks for being such a great leader and health advocate. Cheers to you! —Tracey, January 2016

“I think my cleanse last week may have been my thirteenth.  I am to the point where I look forward to a liver cleanse and even crave the morning garlic drink!  I’m so grateful to have found your detoxing book.  I’m slowly recuperating from a health crisis and it has been instrumental.  Thank you!  One interesting side effect:  I am now a veggie fanatic!  I used to design meals around the protein and starches and try to fit a veggie on the plate.  Now I find myself deciding on veggies first.  Yum!  —Krista, January 2016

“Last year I did a 6 day cleanse from a local distributor. This consisted of 6 juices for 3 days and 4 – 8 oz. containers of raw salad for $300. No education, guidance, and no real changes in my body. So last fall I signed up for Cherie’s 30 Day Detox Challenge. WOW!  What an amazing class. With Cherie’s expert guidance our group navigated 30 days of total body detox to new health! Cherie’s weekly lessons were comprehensive and insightful. What a great health education. The group interaction was encouraging and also helpful. Cherie addressed all of our concerns and made it light and fun. Nobody does it like Cherie! What an incredible value and GIFT of health. Thank you! This was just what I needed. I feel fabulous!!!”  – Donna, January 2016

Healthy Holidays-Cooking, Juicing, Souping and Entertaining in Style 

“Thanksgiving weekend, I ran into a friend I hadn’t seen in four years. She commented on the amount of weight I have lost, which would be noticeable. This evening, we chatted on the phone. What she noticed the most was how bright my eyes were and how I just glowed. Though I haven’t been as faithful to juicing the past few months, her comment confirmed that all the work I’ve done is apparent and that it’s been worth it. As soon as we hung up, I went straight to the kitchen. Made a quart of juice and a green smoothie!”- Judy  December 2015

“I ate everything wrong. For three days I felt bad, sleepy and just plain sick. I know I don’t want to do that again. I didn’t eat all that I could have but adding sugar and bread and fat back to my diet was really bad. I am back to juicing today and feel better. I gained 3 pounds, what a miracle after all I ate. I plan on living better from now until Christmas. I am learning to eat right during holidays. I got to change, I want to keep the weight off and lose more. But most importantly, be healthy. I felt the difference like night and day. Life if better eating right. Be Blessed all, for there is a King in us, we come from Royalty, let’s rule over this food and wine.”  —Marsha  November 2015

Cherie’s Interview and Juicing!

“I am writing to thank you for the things I learned from your interview with Ty Bollinger on ‘The Truth about Cancer’ series. I was encouraged by your ‘can do’ attitude.  It was infectious.  I decided to try your suggestion of 2 quarts [of juice] a day, adding in garlic and ginger, and using some pulp in a salad. I began the next day drinking 2 quarts of juice. I didn’t change anything else in the diet, just added juice. (My diet is pretty clean.) I included the one chunk of ginger and one garlic clove on the first day and added more each day.  I loved the concept of making a salad with the carrot pulp and beet pulp. Wow. One reason I have not liked juicing is because I HATE throwing away pulp.  Then I thought. . . what can I do with it?  I thought of the French and how they never throw away peelings or any part of the vegetable; they save it in the freezer and pull it out when they have enough to make vegetable stock.  I decided to make vegetable stock out of the pulp.  I put the pulp in cold water to encourage the minerals to come out and then slowly heated it up and cooked it.  Drained it. The stock was delicious!  I craved it.  The hot pulp was also good with some butter on it and my schnauzer also appreciated it. Sometimes I feel like the cooked stock nourishes me more than the juice itself.

So this is how I began an enlightening journey about juicing 2 quarts a day. Every day. What happened?  I became less hungry. That gnawing feeling of always being hungry left me.  The cup full of vitamins I took 3 times a day dwindled down to about a tablespoon once a day.  The pain I felt most of the time has lifted. I only want to eat meat once every three days now. I experimented to see what would happen if I used juice in place of different vitamins, to see if I could eliminate them.  When I added more ginger, my sinus congestion left.  I experimented to see if I was imagining the improvements. I deleted the juice for 2 days.  The pain, lack of energy, hunger and sinus congestion returned.  I went back on the juice and it went away again.

I am a mother of 7. Between being pregnant and nursing it adds up to 14 years.  Even though my diet has been very good all those years I see that I was so hungry for what I have found in juicing.  It has become an ‘A’ activity for me. I am saving hundreds of dollars a month by getting my vitamins fresh in juice. Quite a concept.  I am surprised…and delighted.”  —Kathy  November 2015

Praise for Juicing and Raw Food Retreat in Spokane, September 2015

It all started with a TV Program of Cherie on Sid Rod’s Show “It’s Supernatural”, which we watched back in 2013, when we were stationed in Zimbabwe, (Southern Africa), working for the United Nations. We were moved by Cherie’s vision as shown to her by God, involving God’s children defeated by the enemy through various diseases due to their own choice for unhealthy food. We were thrilled also with Cherie’s determination to foil the enemy’s plan through juicing and healthy food. My wife’s heart melted for Cherie’s vision. Instantly, she vowed to try to meet Cherie someday and eventually develop some strategic partnership with her.

Shortly after that, we relocated to the United States by December 2014, following my retirement. During that cold winter of 2014 in the East Coast, my wife developed arthritis, with a frozen shoulder. As a result, she was recommended to see an orthopedic doctor for treatment and prescribed anti -inflammatory pills. But my wife refused this option and chose to go juicing. She ordered Cherie’s books and videos entitled “The Juice Lady’s Guide to Juicing for Health”. She acquired a juicer also and embarked on a juice fast program for 10 days. Only three days later, my wife started to “melt down”; she began to feel better and could move her shoulders and dress herself once again effortlessly. She continued for six consecutive days. A week later, all the pain was gone, to our amazement. This was a miracle before my eyes, in my own house. She lost a total of 9 pounds in total and had no more pain; her face was shining; and her skin tone visibly enhanced. This miracle took place six months before the retreat at Spokane (20-25 September 2015); which my wife was delighted to join, in order to perfect her newly acquired science. I embarked on the trip to Spokane reluctantly, thinking that this was an exclusive ladies’ affair. How wrong I was. We have not been disappointed at all. This life changing experience indeed was worth the while.

Our Conclusions and Recommendations after the 5 days retreat at Spokane follow:

-Juicing benefits are not for women only. In the event you are attending a juicing retreat, consider taking your partner along, for maximum benefits;

– I spent 26 years working for the United Nations during which time I attended hundreds of trainings, seminars and retreats. Not a single one can compare to what I experienced during these five short days at Spokane. Life changing, as mentioned earlier.

-The environment for the Retreat was perfect; peaceful, with wild life around and prone to meditation.

-The content of the teachings are to the point and the sessions by Cherie & Fr John are quite complementary. I recommend that participants read the hand outs provided beforehand and remain alert during the sessions. I recommend also that they do their homework;

-Strategic Partnership have been carefully developed ; which gives an Added Value to the Retreat. Partners including the Intercessory Prayer Group; the Side consultations with Doctors, various massage therapists, food Supplements products representatives, physical exercises, etc… were all worth the while.

-Take Away: This life changing experience that must have a domino effect, for continuing impartation.  “Spreading the Gospel” by participants is the way to go, under Cherie’s coaching. This knowledge is not to be kept; it MUST be shared wherever possible, with relatives, friends and church members, etc.. “My people perish for lack of knowledge” Hosea 4:6.

-See how Cherie can be taken through technology or physically to far away places such as Africa where this juicing program is so badly needed.

-For some serious health conditions, simple juicing program may be the only or cheapest and the best option to consider.

-Cherie and Father John, my wife and I are humbled by your love, humility and kindness. We felt quite at home during the Retreat. Thank you also for giving us the opportunity to provide our views on the retreat.

May God bless you abundantly and open doors and lead your path around the world for maximum impartation of God’s children for wholeness through juicing.

Praise for the August 2018 Retreat

I had chronic back pain for over 9 years due to a severe back injury in 1998, which seemed to catapult the effects of 5 previous car accidents. It was comparable to a football players injury. Since 1998 I endured chronic back pain when standing which led to an addiction to Oxycontin and other addictive medications. I was a hair stylist specializing in precision long hair cutting and color with a background working with Paul Mitchell on stage, among many other professionals. I was also a very prolific make-up artist and  salon owner. The chronic pain was never abated or healed and I’d have intense constant pain whenever I stood for more than 20 minutes. This pain never went away. Any daily chores or activities like standing at the sink and cooking resulted in pain daily. At the retreat, having the opportunity to help someone with their hair, I said yes. Again….pain. I prayed about it and had others pray for me as well. (Never give up!) A day later, I again worked on someone’s hair at the retreat. And…NO PAIN! I knew it wasn’t a coincidence. Since returning home, I’ve worked on some of my previous clients and….NO PAIN! I claim my healing from pain. My back is still messed up, but NO PAIN! So it’s all good to me! Thank you for the opportunity to attend this past retreat! God is working among us!  —Riviera

Praise for the May 2015 Retreat

Cherie/Father John;

Thank you so much for the scholarship to attend the healing retreat in Washington State. I learned a whole lot, met some great people, saw a part of the country I’d never seen before and most important of all – received a number of healings from the Lord. My back continues to be healed. I had no pain at all lugging a heavy suitcase across three airports last Saturday. I’ll keep you posted when I have further tests – as to what happened to the tumor on my kidney and the fibroid tumors in my womb.

May God richly bless you for your kindness.

Judy Robinson

Judy’s update as of 10/16/15

So far the doctor is estimating a 70% improvement in my back. One fibroid tumour is gone and the other is shrinking. And my kidney tumour is shrinking as well. The healing is still ongoing.

Judy

Praise for the May 2015 Retreat

When I arrived at the retreat centre I was welcomed warmly and felt right at home. The week of juice fasting posed no problem and time flew by too quickly. The interaction with the other participants was uplifting as were the different sessions where we learned about healthy foods and not so healthy foods as well as physical, emotional and spiritual detoxification.

The retreat took place at the Immaculate Heart Retreat Centre, a large complex in serene surroundings with large, stately trees, and an abundance of wildlife wandering through the woods. Some deer came right up to the buildings.

On Wednesday night we had a meaningful worship service.

As I was the oldest of thirty participants, I was surprised how every so often someone tapped me on the shoulders in passing or gave me a friendly hug. As a group we were almost knit together as one unit.

At the sharing session on Thursday night we sat in a circle and each was encouraged to tell what the week meant for each one. When it was my turn I told them the following: When we first came here, we were strangers. Now, we are strangers no longer, we are friends, brothers and sisters. Then I told my story how I was set free from bitterness and resentment. I had asked God to forgive me, and He did. However in some wakeful hours during the nights the thought was impressed upon me that I have to go to the person against whom I harbored resentment and ask him to forgive me for these bitter thoughts toward him. This I did after some considerable time and the burden lifted and I was set free. After the session quite a few came to me and expressed their gratitude to me for sharing this as it encouraged them to set things right with someone. We closed the session with holding hands, uplifting them and sang the doxology “Praise God from Who All blessings flow, Praise him all creatures here below. Praise Him above ye Heavenly host, Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.” This was a most remarkable, blessed evening  —Werner

Praise For Cherie’s Juicing Programs

“I have been juicing constantly since the beginning of the year (finally!!!). I am seeing great health benefits, especially a drop of the blood pressure without taking my medication, and a clearer mind.” —Patrick

Praise for the Juice and Raw Foods Retreat

Since coming home from the retreat I have had minimal pain in my knee and feet and none most of the time. I just got home from my doctor. He took me off of Statin and off of two pain pills because I don’t need them. My diabetic A1C test was below even the prediabetic range. Thanks to the influence of my friend Donna, I have been eating healthy for a year and have lost 69 lbs. To my surprise I lost another 5 lbs. at the retreat. I feel so wonderful. I passed the dementia and Alzheimer’s screening tests with flying colors. I am praising God and feeling the power of fresh and raw foods at work in my body. I used to be on 7 medications. I am now down to just two. My doctor says he is looking forward to me getting off of the other two. Thanks to you and Father John for sharing your knowledge with all of us at the retreat. What a blessing! -Pam
