Sid:My guest Cherie Calbom is red hot for the Messiah; her father was an evangelist had a healing ministry but she found herself so chronically sick; doctors said “There was no hope” in three months God showed her that through the things that He put right on this earth not medicines but fruits and vegetables and she was healed. I’m still amazed Cherie Calbom affectionately known as the “Juice Lady.” I’m still amazed doctors don’t understand this even today; now I have found that people that have a significant thing to do for God the devil doesn’t know what it is but he tries to snuff their live many times as a child. In your case in 1982 you were attacked by a burglar tell me about that.
Cherie:Yes it was July 4th and I was house sitting for some friends in Europe, and in the middle of the night a burglar broke in actually it was three teenagers and one was sent to guard me as I was sleeping. I woke up and looked over in the corner of the room there was the young man crouched in the corner. Instead of running out the door which was open leading out to the patio he jumped up and ran toward my bed and told me that he was going to kill me, and started yelling now you are dead.Beating me over the head with a pipe that he had with him and he beat and beat and beat me until the pipe finally flew out of his hands and that’s when he choked me into unconsciousness. And I felt my spirit leaving my body I felt it pop up and out of my body and I was traveling what seemed to be like the speed of light. And I could see little twinkle lights in the distance. I remember saying in my heart “My Father just receive me into Your hands” I felt that I was going home and then all of a sudden I was back in my body but I was somewhere else then where I left it I was down at the end of a dog run.
Sid: And when you came to you obviously knew what had happened.What did you do?
Cherie:I started screaming I screamed for help and that’s when a neighbor heard me and got me into their house and called the ambulance I was soon on the way to the hospital.At 4:30 in the morning they were accessing my injuries which where major injuries in my body. And I put right hand up on top of my head to protect it and I don’t remember doing that but it was obvious what had happened and my two knuckles of my right hand my ring finger and pinky finger knuckles were crushed to mere bone fragments and powder. And in fact my ring finger was almost torn from my hand it hang by just a little small piece of skin and it just so happened that one of the top hand surgeons of Orange County was at the hospital at 6:30 in the morning. No mistake that God had sent him there that day and he’s the one that did the surgery on my hand.He said, “We put it back together as best we could but you have major destruction there and you’ll probably never use it again. And part of my scalp was torn off the top of my head and two disks were crushed in my neck and I had many broken teeth. So I joke lately I was humpty dumpty that fell off the wall into many pieces.
Sid:But it was certainly no joke when it happened that has to be one of the most traumatic things to have burglar in your house and beat you senseless to the point where you’re not going to able to use your hands anymore and you’re a professional writer and you wouldn’t be able to even use your hands. So what did you do about that?
Cherie:It was several months after the attack and long and painful drawn out physical therapy getting nowhere fast, I went back to see the hand surgeon who said to me “You’re not getting any better I can’t even go in a put plastic knuckles into your hand because your hand is in such bad shape.” I came home that day so devastated in tears and crying out to God saying “I know that You called me to be a writer You told me that.” I was working on my first book at the time, “And how does all this fit together?” So the next morning at 5:00 in the morning I heard and audible voice a beautiful sweet audible voice in my bedroom saying “Cherie look at your hand.” And I had taken or somehow my removable cast was off my hand and I was moving my fingers like nothing had ever happened to my hand.Then I heard that sweet angelic voice say “You’re going to go back to where you were, but you’re going to get progressively better and better and better until the day will come when your hand is completely healed.” And in December toward the end of December of ’82, remember I was attacked on July 4 I walked into that hand surgeon’s office and he said to me “I don’t believe in miracles, but you’re the closest thing I’ve ever seen to one because your hand is whole.”
Sid:So that was obviously an angel that spoke to you.
Cherie:Yes.
Sid:And God that healed you… but I want to take you back to that terrible tragedy that occurred when the burglar was beating you trying to kill you literally. How did you get from your bedroom to this other place, I don’t get it?
Cherie:You know that’s what detectives asked me in the hospital. When they came in with all their photographs that they had taken of the crime scene and to interview me this is two days after the attack they head detective kept saying to me “Tell me, how did you get from the bedroom where you fell,” and I landed by a door that led into the hallway and there’s a big pool of blood there. And I had part of my scalp was missing and he told me that head wounds bleed rather profusely and there was a big pool of blood there. And he said “There was a pool of blood out by the fence where you were found but in between all the way up the bedroom, all the way across the patio, and all the way down the long dog run there were no drops of blood so how…
Sid:That’s impossible from what you just told me.
Cherie:Yes and that pretty much was what the detective was saying to me he couldn’t comprehend it. I had no explanation at all, I couldn’t comprehend it either and I just kept questioning how did I get down to that fence because he showed me the pictures and looking at it I couldn’t figure it out either.
Sid:So God showed you though through a dream how that happened.
Cherie:Ah, this is my favorite part of telling this story because I did have a dream one night. I had such a close relationship with Jesus I loved him so much and I used to pray at night “You know maybe someday you’ll just tell me how did I get there to that fence.” And I had a dream and in that dream I saw Jesus walk into the bedroom where my limp and lifeless body was laying there on the floor, and He picked it up and He did CPR he put his mouth over my nose and mouth and blew into my body His breath of life. I saw my body jump like it had had an electric shock. Then I saw Him carry me out and prop me up against the fence where I came back into consciousness back into my body and then started screaming and a neighbor heard me.The husband and son came down and got me into their house and off to the hospital.
Sid:Now in addition to having your hands being pulp, no knuckles how are you hands today?
Cherie:My hand is completely normal and every time I tell this story people want to come up and examine my hand and there’s only one little scar and it’s by my ring finger knuckle where they stitched my finger back onto my hand and nothing else. And it’s just it is such a miracle Sid because having been told that I would never use this hand again that it would never be normal and there was nothing they could do even with plastic knuckles. Today I am working on book number 21 and to God be the glory for this.
Sid:But what about all the psychological trauma you went through I mean to wake up and someone that you don’t know in your bedroom beating you to a pulp and wanting to kill you. I mean your adrenal, is an understatement, your adrenals were compromised but you in addition to believing God you were instructed by God to again begin the juicing and nutritional supplement support and what happened?
Cherie:Sid my body was so injured and so devastated by all the trauma my adrenals were exhausted I had multiple injuries and bones not healing.So the program that God directed me to was the one that I knew worked for healing chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia and I went into intense juicing and all of the wonderful vegetables and foods that I had eaten before, and intense nutritional program and really went after all that I could do to heal my body right down to the cellular level. And boy I saw it come together I saw the injuries healing, the scar on my face healing up and all over my body my body coming back into harmony.That’s when I did all that work to put this into all these wonderful books on juicing for you because so many people that are listening right now have no hope of how can I get out of the dilemma I’m in. And boy if my body could heal from all of those injuries your body can heal too.
Sid:And there was an important point of you forgiving the robber that beat you to a pulp. Tell me about that briefly.
Cherie: It was a very important for me to forgive.It came in stages it didn’t come just saying one time but when I was able to completely forgive from the depths of my heart and let go of that I saw tremendous healing in my soul take place.
Sid:Tell me just briefly, I mean you were even afraid to sleep; how bad was your sleep?
Cherie: I was terrified to close my eyes at night I had the worse insomnia, I didn’t sleep a wink all night long for several months. And it was absolutely devastating because the body needs sleep in order to heal. Powerful healing hormones are released in the middle of the night and I was not getting those and those. It was stage by stage God had to heal me of that intense terror in the night so that I could sleep. So that I could lie down on the pillow and close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
Sid:Well how would you like the “Juice Lady” to come to your home and personally give you advice; I mean be your personal trainer this year so that you get your body running the way that God created it to run so that you can accomplish why God has put you on the on this earth to favor Zion?
