Sid:Here we are God’s finest representatives on the face of this earth, the earth that is dying and literally go to Hell unless we each fulfill our ministry. But so many people so many good Christians are sick; it’s epidemic and that’s why this week I have Cherie Calbom on the air and Cherie is affectionately known as the “Juice Lady”. And Cherie you went with your husband to a Happy Hunter training program on healing the sick and at that program, again this was the second time I’ve heard about this you were caught up in the Spirit. The first time your body was being destroyed a thief was trying to kill you and you left your body and praise God you did because I wouldn’t be talking to you today. But this time was different you were really caught up in the Spirit and what happened?
Cherie: The Lord took me on a trip to a battlefield.He showed me his soldiers lying on that field, their armor was a skew,helmets, shields, swords all a skew. They were lying there in pain, they had headaches and stomach aches and backaches and cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis on and on and on it went even to what I had chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia that I was healed of through the dietary program I’d been on. But He showed me that these people were down and focused totally on their bodies because of their illness or pain. And along came the demonic realm and I saw the demonic realm abusing, kicking, hitting these people that were down just simply because they were down. And the Lord said to me at that time “I want you to go to my people and teach them how to live a lifestyle of wholeness; how to get well, teach them what you did Cherie when you had chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia; teach them about juicing vegetables and changing their diet; and how to get well so that they can stand up get their armor on straight, go fight the enemy and do the work that each of them are called to do because they each have a purpose, they each have a destiny.” And in these great end times when God is saying He’s pouring out His Spirit on upon all flesh every single one of his soldiers are needed.
Sid:Cherie as a result of this vision that you had, but you understand healing I mean you went to the Happy Hunters; your father was a healing evangelist. Why are you spending… why would you goto a leading naturopathic university? Why would you get a master’s degree from that university, a Master of Science Degree in whole foods nutrition; why did you do that?
Cherie: Because the Lord that day when I was caught up in the Spirit with that incredible vision of the battlefield He began to speak to me to go back to school and get a degree in nutrition. He said, “You know what it’s done for you but you need to become a credible source so that other people will listen to you and I want you to go back to school and get that degree.” And you know there was another part of that vision Sid, that when I saw the people on the battle field and then I heard His voice speaking to me to get that degree.I went then to the Anaheim Convention center in the Spirit and saw a big banner flying above that convention center that said “Healing for the whole person.” And I realized as I walked in with the Lord into that place I saw thousands of people sitting there.Then I joined a team of those of us that had sponsored and led that convention for a week. And as we walked down the aisles toward the platform people broke into such cheers and applause and expressions of thankfulness that it was absolutelydeafening. I realized that that week we had spoken into peoples’ lives and they had received healing, they had received knowledge of how to live a lifestyle of what I call divine health and wholeness.It was a powerful thing and so after that vision which was a two part vision I told my husband that I’m going to need to enroll and go back to school which I did that fall.
Sid:And then God spoke to you and said when you would graduate that someone from a specific company would come to your university and hire you for a job and you are to take it. Did that happen?
Cherie: It sure did and it was the Juice Man Company.It was the VP of the Juice Man that came to our university looking for two graduates to write the little booklet to go into the Juice Man juicer. It’s still there to this day and I was one chosen. Early on when I started going into the office they realized that I had a story of healing from juicing and quickly made me their “Juice Lady”and I started doing seminars all across America. I spoke probably in the first year to about 250,000 people, I had kind of guesstimated.From there I ended up doing a lot of TV and radio shows, then a couple of years later they sold to Salton Housewares.Salto was the company that developed the “George Foreman Grills,” and also had the “Juice man Juicer.”A couple of years later I met George Foreman at one of the gourmet product shows in Vegas where he was fighting and they were just rolling out that new George Foreman Grill that has of course made history all over the world as probably the top appliance to take off like it did. I kind of assessed the situation and realized that George was not going to be able to appear with that grill all over the place so I said, “Why don’t you make me your nutritionist?” And he did he actually called me for some nutrition counseling appointments and so we combined juice and grilling.
Sid:Then God spoke to you and He said “What you have done in the secular in the world I need to you to do with My people,” explain.
Cherie: Yes He said “For awhile you’re going to be in the secular world and then I want you to do this with My people to teach My people that they are perishing for lack of knowledge.That they must change their diet, they must change their life style and they must learn a new way of living because they are not going to be saved by pharmaceutical drugs. They are not going to be saved by doing the same old thing year after year.It’s got to be a life style change and go and teach them.” And that’s why I’m so excited today about out show because we’re talking about real truths. You know a lot of times people say “Well, I just want God to heal me.” And that’s kind of like we heard this so much in sermons the boat came by, the log came by whatever came floating by and your drowning you know you’re on the top of the rooftop in a flood and saying “God please save me.” And He’s sending all these things by for you to be saved and you know you may be listening and saying “I long for healing,” and this could be your answer, getting some of my books and learning how to juice and learning how to change your diet and learning what foods are contributing to ill health and making you sick. And the world is not going to tell you, and probably going to most doctors they’re not going to tell you because they’re not trained in nutrition. And so it’s time for God’s people to learn and to receive that knowledge and do, all of us, to do our part that we might be those healthy strong mighty people that run on the wall as scripture says.
Sid:But why is, just kind of in a simplistic fashion, why is juicing or having smoothies I mean there so delicious these things you have; why is having these smoothies and juices so vital to our health? I mean don’t we get this in the food we eat?
Cherie: We don’t we don’t get us much as we could get with juicing and here’s why it’s so powerful, it’s broken down. You juice a bowl of vegetables it’s all broken down, it’s like predigested food it goes right into your system. You may have compromised digestion those of you that are listening, many people do.It goes past that, it goes right into the body and you start absorbing those nutrients.Many people today have such pour digestion because of all the poor foods that they’ve been eating that they’re not absorbing nutrients, they’re not getting enough. Juice offers us a full complement of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytonutrients and here maybe a new one you’ve never heard of biophotons. It’s a new frontier of research primarily out of Germany it’s looking at the light rays of energy in raw plants once you cook them even lightly steaming them you lose that. But juice is going to give you that your greens smoothies will give you that and your fresh raw vegetables. When you take that into your body those photons help your cells communicate with one another better and it also feeds the mitochondria of your cells, the mitochondria is the energy unites that emit ADATP and that’s our energy fuel. So many people say to me today “I’m so tired Cherie I’m so exhausted I need help I’m fatigued.” Start juicing, once you start juicing your body is going to be fed energizing nutrients that’s going to change your life right down to the cellular level.
Sid:You know it’s my belief that a true believer in the Messiah is most likely going to die unless the Lord comes first, however, and I believe there’s a good chance of that I might add; however we should not be battling sicknesses all the time. We should not die of dread diseases; we should not die in pain and suffering from these diseases. I mean I believe God has something better for us; our body is fearfully and wonderfully made if we give it the right nutrients.
Cherie: You spoke such truth and that’s I have to say it again it’s the title of our book and DVD package “We Should Be the Healthiest People on Earth.” God’s people should be the healthiest because we have the Spirit of the living God within us that helps us to discipline our bodies. And we can say no to the stuff that isn’t good for us but I often see the Christians don’t they are indulging in all this stuff from the chips and the dips, and the frozen things and the process stuff and the microwave dinners and the ice cream and the cookies and the cakes and on and on it goes. These are the things that…
Sid:But let me tell you something no one’s going to feel deprived when they follow your 400 plus recipes, they are so tasty their so delicious they are better than the sweetest dessert you could make. Step by step it’s almost like getting the “Juice Lady”in a box come to your home.
