REINVENTING REBECCA KARCHERE

By Rebecca Karchere

For about 3 years I’ve been struggling to figure out how to identify myself as a practitioner. I have been proudly labeled as a nutritionist since 2000. Heck, I’ve been preaching good nutrition since I was 17 years old. My company name, Pure NEWtrition, (founded in 2004) I created with the intention of inferring the public that what I brought to the science of nutrition is unique, fresh, simple and new. I believed and still do, that my interpretation of nutrition and the technique I use in practice, Contact Reflex Analysis, is cutting edge. I offered a true nutritional assessment that was so specific to the patient’s needs that their healing was inevitable. I also saw this for myself from fellow colleagues’ experiences. My long-term goal is/was to reach the world with the truth about good nutrition as medicine; “Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be food”. It has allowed me to successfully do what I intended to do - to offer people hope and healing where conventional medicine falls short, and to provide an alternative to the sometimes grim reality that they offer the community.

My personality as a seeker and intellectual naturally keeps me learning and expanding my knowledge base to avoid the boredom and depression that inevitably follows if I don’t keep my brain stimulated with information I love. And so, I had signed up to learn a new technique to broaden my services to you, 3 years ago, called TBM (Total Body Modification) as I felt I had mastered the use of CRA and needed to grow. I had no idea what I was about to experience. I didn’t know the details of what TBM was prior to registering for the first seminar. It was recommended to me by a trusted colleague who felt it would build upon my knowledge of CRA and nutrition.

The knowledge that I learned from the 4 modules I completed and received certification in, was mind blowing to say the least. It took me about a year to feel somewhat comfortable with it as an added service to my patients. To summarize it, it ‘rocked my foundation’. As a ‘thinker’, my brain was doing back flips for a long time. It challenged my spiritual beliefs as well as my knowledge of biochemistry and physiology. The integration of this new information is now a part of me - finally!

To back track a bit, I was a vegetarian and atheist from age 18 until the time I was 24 when my new employer and mentor, at the time, influenced me to change those views. He taught me CRA while I was going to school for my Master’s in Human Nutrition. I attended his church for 2 years and ‘got saved’. Now, I had God on my side as a ‘born again Christian’ nutritionist who eats meat!

I struggled with TBM because of my new Christian views. The next church that I attended was unforgiving towards it and I was left feeling like a witch doing Satan’s work. I knew in my heart that TBM, CRA, my message, and my ministry to my patients, were all of God. I saw eventually, after much prayer asking for answers, that this church was lead by some critical, judgmental leaders, close-minded arrogant fools. I finally left after 3 years!

I write all this to tell you, as those of you who have been with me all along know, that I keep evolving. My message has changed, my services have expanded, but the bottom line is that healing is inevitable! And that is what people that are suffering want and need. The premise for many of the modalities and techniques that I associate myself with in the alternative health arena (chiropractic, Theta, NET etc), all have 1 thing in common – ONLY GOD HEALS!

To summarize, I have obtained a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in nutrition; I am a nutritionist by title. I obtained a certification in Total Body Modification. I have 2 years of training and many years of experience using Contact Reflex Analysis. In addition to the conventional training, over the past 2 years, I have grown spiritually in leaps and bounds. I have been given wonderful gifts of knowing and healing but not through any conventional training. I can’t explain it any more plainly than that. My initial passion, to help the sick and suffering through nutrition was not the whole perspective of truth. What I became aware of is the Holy Spirit’s power. I can honestly say without any hesitation, that I have been blessed as a medical intuitive. I feel blessed to be offering divine guidance to you as an intuitive healer and holistic nutritionist, offering love, awareness and healing to all who are ready.
