Dear Bernadette
I live in South Africa and have both of your books ~ I love your "change simply" concept ~ well done. I have too many books (it gets confusing!), but your two are my favorite. I hope you won't mind answering a couple of questions for me. I'm 46 years old, married, and a mother of two. ~ I'm very much an "all or nothing" type of person, am very aware that "you are what you eat", but because I tend to get too strict with myself, I keep "falling off the wagon", which frustrates me! I'm about 10 - 12kgs overweight (also frustrating) ~ but am very fortunate that I haven't had to go through what you have. I know I NEED to cut out sugary things (comfort food!) because they make me emotional and I don't like myself too much when I consume them! I have finally realised that when I don't eat well I'm continually hungry, realising that I have to "feed my cells" with the goodness from juicing / smoothies & barley/wheatgrass powder etc., then I feel satisfied, and my moods are more stable.............
Thanks again for your time. Well done on "helping the world, one person @ a time"...........
Kind regards,
Brenda Hulett

Bernadette,
Since we spoke by 'phone many things have happened. Just to refresh your memory. I was diagnosed with Mantle cell Lymphoma on November 19th 2007. My consultant suggested I have Chemo. I declined this when he said there is a risk of complications due to weakning of the immune system. In the meantime I went juicing veg and wheatgrass.When he brought me in for a scan in Feb he discovered the Lymph nodes in the Stomach area had reduced by 50% while the ones in the chest area had not increased. I feel very well T.G. I'm always busy. Thank you for your help and inspiration in this matter.

Bernadette ,
I want to extend my thanks for the wonderful presentation
you gave last night.
It was good to hear and discuss a variety of sane and sensible
approaches to healthy eating and personal care. Especially in a week
where the EU has authorised the introduction of GM maize and sugar
beet and where new EU proposals on absurdly low safe vitamin levels
will probably see carrots carrying a health warning in the future -
As a cancer survivor myself - I used a primarily herbal and dietary
approach to beat lung cancer - I really appreciate the work you are
doing in bringing 'realistic' and valuable change to so many. I doff
my hat!
For now, I wish you and yours good health.
kind regards
Francis

Hi Bernadette,
Your seminar was truly enjoyable and informative. Having a science/medical background it was refreshing to hear someone make the subject matter so simple to follow. I have already started juicing and even the simple addition of the enzymes to my regime has made a big difference to my digestive system. I will certainly be incorporating a lot of your wisdom into the food/diet section of their coaching.
Keep up the good work. If the message only gets to a few people who take it on, it will have been worth the effort.
Thanks again for an inspiring few hours in Cork. Galway needs something like this too - maybe in 2007?
Take good care

Hi Bernadette,
John my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer on 24th April
last
and the psa reading was extremely high at 190. It had also spread
significantly. My sister had seen you on television and arrived with
your
two books the next day. At the time I was distraught and thought there
was
nothing I could do. I was delighted to find there was something. I
read the
first book first so that I could start immediately and ordered the
juicer
and water system the next day. We have been growing wheat grass,
sprouting
and juicing since and on 24th July exactly 3 months later we were
thrilled
to be told that the reading was down to one point nine, which is
remarkable. Johnson was of course also taking medication and
injections as
prescribed by his consultant but we definitely feel the change in diet
was
significant in his recovery. I just want to let you know your book was
a
lifesaver to us at the time and indeed so many people have remarked on
how
well he is looking on this diet that it has been passed around to
family
and friends.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Hi Bernadette,
Just finished reading your book, 'The Choice' and I experienced every
emotion throughout reading the book, you coming through the other side
of
something as serious as cancer twice is truly inspiring! I got into
juicing
and treating my body as a temple by my Mum's example a year ago and
have
never looked back. Seeing my mum change from somebody who was always
tired
and had addictions to certain foods, to now having loads of energy and
just
looks and feels amazing. I used to drink 4 pints of milk a day,
thinking it
was the perfect food for building muscle (good for the bones!). I
really do
feel like a kid with loads and loads of energy again and its
infectious on
the people I know,
However, I have a nagging feeling that what all is being said isn't
getting
through to enough people - despite your amazing efforts in probably
saving
some peoples lives. I am in University and I have had some heated
discussions about the subjects of food advertising, sugar and milk and
it
just seems that the majority of the Western world has got the wrong
idea
about food and drink. Hippocrates said thousands of years ago, 'let
food be
thy medicine, and medicine thy food' and how we seem to have reversed
that
statement. Apparently 85% of cancers are caused by what we put into
our
bodies, breast cancer is non existent in Japan as said in your book,
and
just think about animals. Animals that live in the wild, and eat
instinctively, don't get cancer, heart disease or any other diseases
that
we get!
I've so many questions that I want answered, it angers me sometimes.
For
instance why don't hospital serve up fresh fruit and vegetable juices
as
well as other enzyme rich food? Doctors etc know that it is vital for
'full' and lifelong recovery and buying that kind of produce is much
cheaper. There is too much information around, even within the field
of
juicing and health itself, this approach of lots of information is
good but
it is often so contradictory people diet and get confused always
leading
back to addictive 'comforting' foods. More needs to be done to stop
junk
food advertising and inform people correctly and impartially with the
'right' facts - what you put in your body comes out either good or
bad. You
couldn't be doing more yourself, I applaud you for that. All I can do
myself is learn and learn, I am hungry for more knowledge, and tell
people
facts that just instinctively seem right.
Thanks for such a fantastic and inspiring read, I will now be passing
the
book onto my mum!

I just finished my 25 sessions of radio therapy today. It ran really
smoothly. I was the first patient to finish treatment in the new
Whitfield
Clinic in Waterford. I bought the juicer and use it every day, I am
growing
sprouts and grass and I got the water system in. I took garlic as you
reccommended and it all paid off.Consultant and girls in the unit cant
beleive the way I have sailed through
Thanks for all your tips your talk obviously paid off well in Cork for
me.
Love and good health
Marian

Hi Bernadette
Thank you so much for all the valuable information at your seminar in Cork on the 19th. You were fantastic. Many of our group were sceptics but they certainly were not by the time they left
thanks so much

Thanks Bernadette. I really enjoyed the seminar on Sunday. It was
great
to
have it so near. I've read the books but there is nothing like seeing
the
practical demonstration as it makes it all seem so much easier and as
for
the
samples we had, if we hadn't seen the ingredients, I don't think I
would
have
believed it. You made a great job of the day, and you have marvellous
patience
Wishing you all the best,
Jenny

Hi Bernadette,
I enjoyed your day 100%. It was just a pity I could'nt bottle
every thing you said. You were absolutely wonderful. The way you done the juicing, you made it seem so simple. I have just installed the reverse osmosis water system. What a difference it
has made. All the family are drinking it. The juicer is to be my next purchase. Thank god I am in good health, but could improve, as I am a busy mum with four children ranging from 20 down to six and I job share as well. The one question I would like to ask is I overheard you telling a group of ladies that you take an enzyme substance, is that correct? Or what supplements do you take and why, as you look so well and healthy and your skin looks fabulous. I tend to be tired a lot. Thanks again for a lovely day.
Regards.
Mary Collins.
