I understand that certain allegations have been made about Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, in particular claiming that Serge and the practitioners associated with Universal Medicine are in opposition or competition with conventional medical practitioners. This completely contradicts my experience as a cancer patient over the past year since my diagnosis in early June 2011 and in my association with Serge and Universal Medicine since early August 2011. During this past year I have had continuous treatment medically and also since early August, weekly sessions with Serge or other Universal Medicine practitioners. I am grateful to both my conventional and complementary practitioners for the caring support that I have received.
Before my diagnosis I had had chronic fatigue and chronic digestive symptoms. I had for years sought both medical and complementary advice and treatment. Generally there was not much either sphere could do to alleviate my symptoms. I had a strong preference for taking good care of myself in terms of diet, exercise, vitamins, regular check-ups, as well as massage, acupuncture and healing. I wanted to avoid needing any medical treatment if possible.
After I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was shocked and terrified. I learned it was aggressive and I accepted that I could not avoid major and immediate treatment. I had an initial surgery in July which removed all the lymph nodes under my left arm and a lump from my left breast. I was advised that I would be needing chemotherapy and radiotherapy and hormonal drug treatment as well. When I considered chemotherapy I felt that in my debilitated state from years of low energy, that I would suffer more than most people. I dreaded it and felt it might be the death of me before the cancer. The first surgery did not achieve clear margins around the lump and I was booked for a second surgery, a wide excision, in August.
Before the second surgery, although I rarely went out at this time, I attended the Byron Writers Festival for one afternoon. I went into a talk on words and energy by Serge Benhayon. He spoke of how people say they love coffee when they mean they need coffee. He said that if people were honest and said they needed the coffee then they might ask themselves how they were living so that they needed coffee to get through their day. They might just make better choices to improve their energy. I appreciated his reasoning. He also spoke about the rising number of women getting breast cancer. I became very interested. I had not thought of myself as being part of a cohort. His comments about being true to ourselves as a way to be healthy made sense to me. I knew I had many times looked after others even when exhausted.
I saw Serge in early August before the second surgery. I talked to him about death and how I had been living my life for others rather than for myself. I could see how I had squandered my life energy and made myself vulnerable to cancer in spite of my ‘healthy’ lifestyle. From my first visit with him, the intense, exhausting emotion I had been living with reduced dramatically. I told him how I optimistically believed that I wouldn’t need a mastectomy although the surgeon had warned me that it was possible if the second surgery did not get clear margins. The surgeon had said I could choose a mastectomy this time instead of just another excision. I was shocked and said, “No!” Serge somehow communicated to me a sense that I would be alright, even if a mastectomy was necessary. He didn’t minimise the loss rather he acknowledged the fear and sadness that I felt. After the second surgery I told him the results showed I would need a mastectomy. I chose to continue seeing Serge throughout my cancer treatment.
I had heard quite independently from a physiotherapist who was recommended by the hospital that people who attended Serge coped well with the treatment. She said that women who had the esoteric acupuncture (chakrapuncture) treatment along with the same medical treatment that I had and would be having, did “remarkably better” than those who didn’t have this particular complementary treatment. She had seen a lot of breast cancer patients and had great respect for Serge and his work. She had attended some of his lectures.
Going into the third surgery, the mastectomy, I was almost calm, certainly accepting and even grateful, since my surgeon had told me that provided I had the recommended treatment, I had a very good chance of surviving. Beforehand I had some thorough cries over my breast. Since I emerged from the surgery, I have never felt any further need to mourn it. My healing went well, and I was amused to have compliments from physios and nurses on my ‘beautiful’ scar.
I was given a month to recover from my surgery before I began chemotherapy. I was seeing Serge weekly for counselling and esoteric Chakra-puncture and began to feel so well physically that I could take longer and more lively walks than I had been able to do for many months before my diagnosis. I had also ended a destructive relationship and felt so positive that I told Serge that maybe I wouldn’t need chemotherapy. He said immediately that he would never advise that I not have the chemo. He simply encouraged me to keep looking at my life and my choices and feel for myself what was right. I cried over this because I definitely didn’t want to have chemo and had misunderstood and thought he might back that choice. Again, he gave me support through counselling and Chakra-puncture and taught me to “rest deeply” as I went into my chemo sessions, fully choosing to be there since I had decided that I would have it.
I have told my oncologist about the esoteric Chakra-puncture sessions and how helpful I find them. He has told me several times that I have been doing very well and even said, “keep up the acupuncture”. As with the surgery, I found that I handled the chemo treatments well, having generally only fatigue and no vomiting or pain, and minimal side effects. I did make a choice after four months of chemo, to stop a little early from the second type because of side effects that suddenly got much stronger and could have been irreversible. I made this decision with my oncologist who said that I had had a lot of chemo and he didn’t think that the slightly shorter treatment would affect my life expectancy. I told Serge about this decision after I had made it.
After the chemotherapy treatment, I was due to see a professor of radiotherapy. Yet again I hoped that I didn’t need to have treatment but he said I did. I live alone and have not been well enough to manage without regular help. The radiotherapy treatment was nearly an hour’s drive from my home, five days a week for five weeks. I didn’t know how I could get myself driven back and forth and how I would cope with that much travel even if I had a driver. Universal Medicine provided me with a beautiful and nurturing space in which to stay within a short distance of the hospital so that I was able to drive myself to the treatment even though I was still tired and became more so. Again, my treatment went easily and the main nurse who treated me said, “you obviously heal well.”
At this stage, I am beginning to recover some energy after the radiotherapy but am still easily tired probably because of the herceptin infusions that I still have every three weeks at the chemo ward. I am continuing to have weekly treatments at the UniMed clinic and always feel a profound sense of peace and rest at these times.
I have also had treatment from a physiotherapist at the UniMed clinic, who gave me simple exercises that immediately helped and within a couple of weeks completely relieved the cording that had developed in my left arm months after the lymph node removal. These gentle movements were somewhat different to those shown me by the other physiotherapist. The main distinction in her method was that it depended on beginning with and developing a deep connection with the body, not just mechanical movements while the mind might be elsewhere.
I hope it is obvious that Serge works very well with conventional medicine and is not at all opposed to it. In fact, he has often said that we have never had better medical treatment and he has particular praise for surgeons. I believe that his work is truly a complement to the conventional methods and when the two are combined, the patient is very fortunate indeed.
One of the most significant things to understand about Serge and other practitioners at Universal Medicine is that they first take great care of themselves. They heed the old dictum: “Physician, heal thyself.”
Medicine and Serge Benhayon 
Our experience of anything is governed by our alignment. We are either aligned to the consciousness of God or we’re aligned to a consciousness that is looking to de-rail us from our connection with God. Therefore our experience with being sick or having an accident is, like all experiences, dependent on our alignment. When we’re aligned to God then we see the world in a completely different light, there is a depth of understanding to life that simplifies it immeasurably.
What a difference from feeling sad and fearful to ‘almost calm, certainly accepting and even grateful’. Your blog reminds me of the importance of taking care of ourselves the whole time but also if we get an illness or dis-ease to continue that care all the way, through working with western medicine as well as understanding the energetic root cause of the illness or dis-ease.
Serge Benhayon is a groundbreaker, the healing he offers others is astounding.
It is an insidious belief that women take on to be there for others and that it somehow makes us a “good person” even though we are living in self neglect and ignoring the signals from our body that need to be attended to for our own care. It’s kind of like opening a business but making sure that all the businesses around us are doing well, then being surprised when our own business (body) goes bankrupt. It also highlights to me how pervasive lack of self care is, and how important it is for there to be people reflecting a self caring way of life to others to show that the current way is not the only way of life.
Melinda I like the analogy that you have used as it highlights how misguided we are that we ‘think’ looking after others before ourselves is a ‘good’ thing to do. I know from my upbringing as a Roman Catholic that it is part of the doctrine of the religion especially for females to give themselves tirelessly with no thought for their own welfare and to question the teaching is sinful for having such thoughts.
Mary even without an overt connection to religion that idea that women should give and give and if not they are somehow ‘bad’ or ‘evil’ is quite pervasive, I know it certainly has affected me. What the belief does is impose on the decency of people to be good or do their best as a form of manipulation, when actually we don’t need any conditions to feel and be our wonderful selves at all. It’s a strange but strong link to some religions that sacrifice us somehow good, the Martyr syndrome, when it doesn’t have to be that way at all – we can take loving care of ourselves and others when needed.
Whilst the esoteric modalities support with the root causes of the symptoms, western medicine treats them at the other end, necessarily so. At some point in our evolution we will be living in such a way that western medicine won’t be needed as much, until then it makes total sense to use everything we have to support our bodies to heal.
What you are sharing here with us all is that Western medicine and esoteric medicine work well together we could say hand in hand. And isn’t this something we all want?
Serge Benhayon, as the article attests, is very pro-medicine. and supports clients to embrace both conventional and complementary medicine. This is the future way of medicine.
What a testimony to read about the combination of treatments, modern medicine and Universal Medicine. From a young age, I felt modern medicine wasn’t the only healing modality, there was room for others. If we go back centuries, the ‘other’ healing modalities contributed to healing, probably not documented to how researchers would have liked. If we studied a cohort of patients or performed a qualitative research, I ponder on the outcome. Maybe modern science may not want to hear or read about.
If modern medicine was the only availability, then why are we faced with more and more patients resistant to antibiotics? Obviously due to over use and I feel we will see more and more of this.
There is another way to healing, complementary to modern medicine healing. This testimonial of a cancer patient’s experience needs to be researched in more depth.
It is very obvious that Serge Benhayon works very well with conventional medicine and is not at all opposed to it. The support you were given with the care and Chakra-puncture treatments made you feel you were not alone during this process, you had family caring for you.
The support of Universal Medicine therapies that works with conventional medicine truly works. The marriage of the two gives each patient the opportunity for true healing.
Your very detailed account of your journey with cancer is such a confirmation of the healing power of the combination of western medicine and complementary medicine, such as offered by Universal Medicine and its practitioners. And then of course, there is one more ingredient in the healing recipe and that was your commitment to caring for yourself, after all, as I have come to know, we are our greatest healers.
Ingrid, I liked your comment, ‘one more ingredient in the healing recipe and that was your commitment to caring for yourself’. Working in the health care professional, I see more and more patients reliant on others to heal them and seldom take responsibility for their own well-being.
Things don’t just happen, the signs are there, are we willing to listen or are we going to be made to be listened, by the body?
Shushila I have a friend who recently underwent surgery for breast cancer. One of the topics of conversation was her incessant doing for everyone, always leaving her self out of the equation. I asked her what role model was she being for her daughter? Did she want her daughter to grow up running around after other people so that she could feel better about her self that she felt ‘wanted’ by the family? The answer has to be no. I have discovered our spirit is very needy and loves the attention gained while looking after others but the consequences to our bodies surely cannot be worth it? If we learn to appreciate ourselves in everything we do, the need to seek outside of ourselves for confirmation of being loved is diminished to the point where there is no need to seek attention, recognition as we are enough as we are.
Serge Benhayon has certainly helped me enormously to welcome and embrace conventional medicine not only for my own health and well being but that of my family’s too. Today I do not hesitate to seek support from conventional medicine when I feel it is necessary. Without his support I would still be in the arrogance and ignorance of the amazing work conventional medicine has to offer.
Having recently had an operation I feel nothing other than admiration for the medical profession. My GP, my specialist, my anaesthetist, the nursing staff, everyone that was involved in my procedure. My part was to take along my body which I look after amazingly well and to continue to look after my body with the deep care that I already do after my procedure. In fact I feel that it’s the deep care that I look after myself with that meant that my physical healing went incredibly well. My surgeon said that because he wasn’t able to stitch the area that it would be very sore for 2 weeks and sent me home with some pretty strong pain killers. He was flummoxed to hear that not only did I not have to take any pain killers at all but that I didn’t feel any soreness whatsoever. The area has healed absolutely beautifully and I feel that that is because of the way that I choose to live in every day of my life.
Is it possible the key ingredient to the fact that you recovered from the operation so well and did not require pain killers is because you do look after your body so amazingly well? When we take care of ourselves lovingly so, our bodies are at their optimal level of health.
Yep I reckon so Mary, I can’t think of any other explanation, nothing just happens for no reason and the deep level of self care that I live with is the only possible explanation that I can think of.
If our interest was truly in our well-being, and not about control or ownership, why wouldn’t we be more willing to be open to anything/anyone that anyone would, through their own personal experience, claim to be of true, great support, and give that a fair go, but instead attack, especially when so many of us are so sick and exhausted already?
Serge does work very well with modern medicine – I agree – he brings the added (and currently missing) element of self responsibility and that we need to also make choices ourselves to initiate the healing process, not simply rely on the medication or the surgery.
Yes it is certainly my experience too that Esoteric Medicine combined with Western Medicine is the most supportive and practical way to go. Serge Benhayon is very pro-western medicine and I look forward to the day that western medicine equally recognises esoteric medicine. A growing number of doctors and practitioners do, but sadly there is too much misinformation out there which makes it harder for the public and medical profession to discover the benefits and what a wonderful partnership it is.
Nicola I too look forward to the day where not only western medicine recognises, understands and has true energetic awareness but all do, for this is the missing link to our well-being.
Nicola you make a very interesting observation when you say
“sadly there is too much misinformation out there which makes it harder for the public and medical profession to discover the benefits and what a wonderful partnership it is.”
We have all witnessed these last months the manipulation of the media to twist events so that fear is spread throughout society and when that occurs society will do anything to feel secure. Is the same energy feeding the misinformation about the benefits of combing Western Medicine with Universal Medicine so that we are denied a combination that has such healing qualities? Imagine
A combination of all that western medicine offers while getting support to understand the energetic underlying things that may go on for anyone during such treatments brings the best of both worlds, and offers a more complete and whole picture on how we can be with illness. What I feel reading this blog is how the author has had tremendous support from both sides and how in that she’s been able to find her own way with her cancer journey and learned to be and live a way that is more honouring of her and her body. This is something to hugely celebrate.
It is wonderful that there are modalities that support patients to have less side effects from chemo and cancer treatments, I know someone currently in chemo and it’s caused severe kidney damage. I hope that Esoteric Chakra Puncture and other Universal Medicine modalities can be made more available to cancer patients in the future. Research may be needed to support this however patients and onlookers such as nurses and doctors can already see the efficacy of these complementary treatments.
Whether conventional or complementary medicine it is important to discern when choosing practitioners. Someone I know, diagnosed with cancer, did not feel supported by her oncologist and felt her concerns and preferences were often dismissed. She switched hospitals, found an oncologist she could relate to and has completed her radiotherapy treatment. She’s also begun to pay more attention to life style choices and quality of relationships as part of her healing. A big one being to self care and not to give to others at the expense of herself.
The fact that Serge Benhayon has supported so many people in their return back to the brilliant systems and techniques of conventional medicine is beyond amazing and shows his deep respect for the healing processes that we all need the correct and suitable support for.
How can we make allegations against somebody that are a complete lie? Where do they come from and how do we even come up with them. To claim that Serge Benhayon is against conventional medicine is like calling the black white.
This sharing explodes so many myths about cancer as well as the allegations that Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon are anti Western medicine. So many express surprise that they should get cancer when they thought they were trying to life a healthy life but when they choose to look deeper, sometimes with the support of UM, they discover how they have been abusing their bodies and what is being offered with their cancer is a clearing of abusive ways of living and an opportunity to heal from this. Western medicine offers various treatments that can support a patient to heal but if there is no understanding of why something happened in the first place there is more likelihood of a re-occurence. UM offers support to those going through the physical process of treatment but also the opportunity to explore patterns of behaviour that have led them to this point and as reported here any treatment undertaken seems to be tolerated better with faster recovery which no doubt allows for deeper healing. Our bodies are amazing particularly when we truly support them with whatever clearing is being offered.
Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are extremely supportive of anyone who is going through Cancer treatment or other medical treatments and often assists through accommodation and supportive treatments which are free of charge, giving back to the community a support that not many people or businesses would do. This is what makes Universal Medicine unique in its consistent support and integrity above all else.
They take care of themselves first … and that’s the key for all of us, for without that level of care we cannot truly care for another, and they and we get less the quality of who we are … a beautiful sharing of a woman coming back to herself and reclaiming care and nurturing for herself.
There is no hint of victim or a survivor in this account, rather a beautiful example of a deepening relationship with one’s body and taking responsibility for the quality with which one lives in.
Your sharing reflects the way in which Serge Benhayon completely supports and works alongside medicine. He has always encouraged this if it is needed – and presented that medicine is not bad, it is just how people use it that is – we seek a fix and then to get back on with our lives rather than be willing to see and understand why things have happened to us in the first place.
There’s much fear around cancer and I always thought cancer was the ultimate death bringer but through Universal Medicine I have met quite a few number of people who have had cancer or have cancer, and the quality of living that I feel from them completely changed my belief of how cancer patients would look and feel like, and they all speak of the importance of making self-loving and nurturing choices. No doubt there is something in what Universal Medicine offers that truly works and supports cancer patients to heal themselves.
Absolutely and I have found talking to Universal Medicine students I have met who are living with cancer not only inspirational but also humbling in their willingness to be open to what their bodies are communicating with them.
There’s a big question mark over cancer in society. We spend millions on research or so much time on alternative therapies. But what Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine present is simply there is a missing part to our approach, and you can add this in and see if it makes sense in your life. Surely such a simple thing is worth investigation not scorn if we are serious about our health?
Medicine is super amazing at handling and managing the ‘how’ aspect of medicine. It has sorely lacked on the ‘why’ part though and often tries to explain it through the how by describing how it occurred but not actually why. Enter Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, the only organisation who have successfully been able to explain the ‘why’ aspect of illness and disease.
The support Serge Benhayon offers to cancer patients is beyond compare and he never tells people what to do, but reminds us that we always have a choice. He is fully supportive of us using whatever medical care is available and having the additional support of Universal Medicine therapies helps us to live as best we can.
” They heed the old dictum: “Physician, heal thyself.” ”
I have not heard this for a long time and it seems more relevant today that at any other time in our history; thank you so much for sharing.
A beautiful account of how Esoteric Medicine and Conventional Medicine can work together.
Thank you for such a beautiful testimony on how Serge Benhayon always respects and works alongside any medical treatment with the Esoteric Modalities, supporting the body to truly heal.
This is such a deeper understanding of illness and disease, that complements Western Medicine so the two can work together. Understanding that everything is energy gives a real insight to what contributes to illness and how true healing works.
It’s great to know that there are treatments like Chakrapuncture that support the person to best deal with chemotherapy side effects, being so, an excellent complement to the conventional medicine
‘I could see how I had squandered my life energy and made myself vulnerable to cancer in spite of my ‘healthy’ lifestyle.’ This is a terrific realisation – one that speaks of actually owning, taking responsibility, for one’s condition. Many try to shift the responsibility to genetics, microwaves and power lines or the failures of modern medicine; others don’t take responsibility beyond thinking a regime of juicing and jogging is enough to ensure good health. There is so much more to the story of cancer – and all illness and disease, big and small – and Universal Medicine takes the whole of it into account.
“He spoke of how people say they love coffee when they mean they need coffee” This brings more honesty to the conversation and opens it up to a greater understanding and willingness to look at why we need coffee. If we say we love it we don’t tend to ask further questions like, why do I like it and do I really like it and why do I crave it at certain times of the day. This is what I love about Universal Medicine it asks us to look deeper and question all the things we have accepted in life especially illness and disease.
What is beautiful to read here is the support and encouragement to engage in the medical procedures that you decided to have. It would be great to understand health outcomes in terms of how we have engaged in the health interventions and create a truer measure of healing.
I really love reading stories like this that describe so well what true healing actually is.
Unfortunately this is what they don’t write in the papers about Serge Benhayon, he is beyond charitable, in the true sense of the word. He is generous and caring and is more pro main stream medicine than most people I know. It is so important when people become ill that they are supported on every level.
‘The main distinction in her method was that it depended on beginning with and developing a deep connection with the body, not just mechanical movements while the mind might be elsewhere.’ Switching from mind or brain intelligence being our major way of operating to body intelligence takes a while ( I feel I have a long way to go to be consistent in this ) but the benefits are huge not least of which is the ability to be present, have more confidence and appreciate ourselves.
The support of Esoteric Therapies alongside conventional medicine offers a depth of understanding and development both in the procedures that are part of conventional medicine and the healing itself. They go hand in hand as anyone who has experienced both would testify.
I can certainly relate to your resistance towards conventional treatment and how when you have combined conventional medicine and esoteric medicine, the results have supported you in your healing. In my most dire moments concerning medical attention, Serge Benhayon has also reminded me not to disregard what I am experiencing and to seek for medical advice. He has never told me what kind of medicine to seek, and it was up to me to truly feel my heart, I went back a few times to alternative medicine knowing they were not going to truly support me but because they felt familiar, but eventually because of the consequences, I made my own choice of going back to Western medicine. What a strong ideal to break and every day there is so much appreciation about these experiences. If I had never known Serge Benhayon or if there were no articles such as yours, I may still be rejecting conventional medicine and a big part of my life and truth.
This is an amazing model of medical care, and it is very inspiring to feel how your sense of self-responsibility and power increased over time and you became more real.
The loving support that Serge offered you is truly beholding and just gorgeous to read. This is a beautiful example of how western medicine and esoteric healing and principles can be applied for a more spherical healing.
Universal Medicine has significantly changed my lifestyle, and from once being reasonably irresponsible over my choices, I have become responsible for the choices that I make and my choices are now far more loving and honouring of myself and others, which definitely has had a positive affect on my health.
So very deeply touched in reading this blog – both by the author’s inner clarity and openness in sharing her journey with cancer, but essentially, that there is the undeniable sense here that there is ‘so much more’ – ‘so much more’ to us, what healing actually means, and those who understand this, and work tirelessly in service of offering true healing to all.
Thank-you deeply for this sharing.
I have been attending Universal Medicine presentations for over 6 years now – many of them – and there has never been any suggestion that people should not seek conventional medical interventions. What I have experienced are presentations that offer a truly complementary way of life – focused on a loving relationship with myself and hence my health and wellbeing. In fact I would go further and say that my relationship with conventional medicine is much better now I have an understanding of all the ways I can look after myself and learn from any medical conditions. My body is offering me a true reflection of how I am choosing to live and this is deeply supportive of evolving awareness.
Conventional medicine is extremely important for us all when illness occurs, but it is clear it is not the whole picture. Universal Medicine therapies are complementary to that conventional medicine. Never once have I heard any practitioner of the Universal Medicine therapies say different, in fact as laid out in this blog they encourage medical attention. Complementary to medicine therapies are just that, complementary to medicine working hand in hand.
I think the term the media would use to describe an article such as this is “an inconvenient truth”.
The support of the Esoteric modalities is evident in this article.
For those of us who are open to it, what a blessing to have both Western Medicine and Universal Medicine to support our health… one backing up and supporting the other so we can be whole.
An amazing blog, one which notes how we use our language can trap us, that we say we love something when we in fact need it, and how insidious that is – we don’t address it as we consider that we love that thing. And it’s so humbling to read of someone who took her steps, walked her talk very openly and honestly along the way, and to feel the acceptance that comes across so clearly is deeply inspiring.
I have also found that Universal Medicine’s approach to traditional medicine is very respectfully a complement to medicine. I know of many students who were anti-medicine before meeting Universal Medicine, who now feel that medicine can be very useful.
I have seen many examples of this combination of therapies in women with breast cancer, each with amazing results. What is most amazing however is not the fact they have each survived, but that they began to thrive in themselves long before treatment was finished. The acknowledgment of who they are, their worth and a connection to something intrinsically beautiful within seems to me to be the key ingredient. Their healing journey is inspiring, often profound and entirely unexpected, given what chemotherapy and radiation usually does to the body.
A beautiful confirmation and appreciation of the ‘marriage’ between Esoteric Medicine and Conventional Medicine.
Esoteric Medicine and Conventional Medicine are partners not opponents.
A beautiful example of taking responsibility for our own healing supported by conventional medicine and esoteric medicine.
Learning to live in a way that is listening to our bodies is an amazing freedom and joy to feel the honouring this brings . This is something Serge Benhayon instills in all of us by his reflection and the understanding and acknowledgement of what we feel is a major part to play in the way we live and heal ourselves on a daily moment by moment process. Appreciation of all that is offered to us rather than resisting and fighting the truth allows an honesty and love in our lives our bodies and our health. An amazing sharing thank you.
There are many very clear message from an article like this, and one is we think we control everything that goes on. At times because of that control we find ourselves either walking around in circles or walking down the wrong path. Bringing these two important parts of medicine together, Conventional and Universal is bringing people to more awareness about what is going on. It’s supporting more then the patients because imagine the time it takes for people to explain things to patients when they are resisting treatments or advice. Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon bring a deeper understanding to what is sometimes seen as a process. It allows people to see more, understanding everything and everyone more and to make a choice on how they want things to go within reason. We think we just make a choice without first seeing there is a connection to make. We think we have our own thoughts and then others have theirs without realising that our thoughts are an energy and so the type of thoughts are aligned to our choice of energy first. We are playing small which gives us small thoughts, articles like this bring us a greater game being played which is lovely to see.
I wonder as is being said if this is merely because we have all chosen or become fully aware of the fact of energy. It’s not something new as history shows but more something we have long since forgotten and now are returning too. Is it possible the more who begin to return to this fact, the more easily others will wake to the same fact? If “everything is energy” then whatever energy is being chosen will be available for everyone. Those that are aware will need to support but choosing a deeper and deeper version of what they are seeing. No waiting for a bus but a consistent living approach to every part of life, this in itself will turn the tables.
When we are true to ourselves we are also being true to others. Yesterday I didn’t feel that I was ready to do a big, physical job that my husband and I had planned to do. I told him and later I realised that it was true for him too and that he said he wanted to go to the market. Being honest with myself is work in progress but when I am, I feel clear, light and steady within my body.
I can sometimes feel I ought to do something because I said I would rather than truly feeling in harmony with the task at hand. Likewise when someone wants to change an appointment, for example, it is great when we allow ourselves to see the gift in this rather than reacting because things are not going our way. When we do this there is a lightening in our energy that can be felt as we align to our energetic integrity and responsibility.
A stunning example of true healing… thank you.
Never have I had so much support and encouragement as when I started seeing Serge Benhayon – for not only taking responsibility for my own health, but as part of that responsibility consulting a physician and specialist to ensure I received the necessary surgery and treatment, – and then was fully supported through that time with (often free) sessions both before surgery and during the recovery, to see and understand the patterns I was living that had lead me to the ill conditions in the first place, thus allowing a more loving and true way of living to unfold.
Serge Benhayon’s loving support is constantly there for people, it is beautiful to observe and experience, and yes it is imperative to heal ourselves, ‘ “Physician, heal thyself.”
From your lived example you have clearly shone a light on truth and shown that Serge Benhayon does in fact work with conventional medicine extremely well and has praise for surgeons and nurses. I understand how you must have felt during the diagnosis and treatment, I have heard other stories of chemotherapy and how whilst receiving the necessary treatment it can really make the person not feel good. You have revealed to the reader how by taking deep care of yourself it if possible to feel well whilst having these treatments and it was so great to here this ‘I had also heard this quite independently from a physiotherapist who was recommended by the hospital. She said that women who had the esoteric acupuncture treatment along with the same medical treatment that I had and would be having, did “remarkably better” than those who didn’t have this particular complementary treatment. She had seen a lot of breast cancer patients and had great respect for Serge and his work. She had attended some of his lectures.’ That within the medical profession it is seen and acknowledge the benefits to the patient of having esoteric Chakra-puncture and working with Universal Medicine practitioners whilst going through treatment deeply supports the recovery. It also shows where Serge Benhayon’s heart truly is, how accommodation and treatments are given free when needed. Serge is one person I know that truly, deeply and genuinely makes it about people.
Conventional Medicine alone does not hold the answers, and Esoteric Healing alone does not bring a fullness of options to truly support a person, but the marriage of both conventional and esoteric medicine together is a union made in heaven and offers all options for a person in their path of healing and return to true wellness.
This is a great story of trust, support and teamwork, and shows how working alongside both conventional and complementary health practitioners, worked so well and contributed greatly to your healing process.
This is a beautiful article how to embrace even a serious diagnosis and the outstanding support that Universal Medicine provides to anyone who is in need of it due to illness and disease.
We learn a lot from what you share of your experience of breast cancer. What stands out for me is how esoteric medicine supported you and your body during extremely intensive courses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. And the gentle and clear guidance you received from Serge Benhayon and other practitioners when faced with certain treatment options. You worked with both conventional and complementary health practitioners, but also drew on your own wisdom when it was called for.
The practitioners at Universal Medicine are without exception living examples of “physician heal thyself”.
having medical treatment is a big decision, there are a lot of things at play – the medical institution assumes it has it all, but also some people don’t trust medicine even though it is so helpful. Your experience is inspiring as it shows how true healing is about balance between self responsibility and allowing the work of medicine to help us.
This is one blog that I just keep returning to, the writing is so clear and direct, it leaves you wondering why we have a media that won’t represent how supportive Universal Medicine is, used in conjunction with Western Medicine it is the way of the future.
A beautiful sharing on your experiences with Serge Benhayon and the support and true care offered to you throughout. When I first meet Serge Benhayon I had basically little faith in Western Medicine, after attending Universal Medicine presentations where Serge speaks highly of Western Medicine and the importance of this alongside any complementary healing, I felt supported to have regular check up’s and deal with some health issues I was avoiding looking at.
“I knew I had many times looked after others even when exhausted.” This is such a simple statement but it’s really made me realise just how ridiculous it is for us to even consider caring for another when we ourselves are in a state of exhaustion .
A first hand example of conventional medicine and complementary medicine coming together as Universal Medicine.
The integrity Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine Practitioners live and practise is second to none; the deep love and care they live emanates through their every movement. They absolutely heed the old dictum: “Physician, heal thyself”. The marriage of conventional medicine and complementary medicine is a blessing available to all.
A very powerful story about how you allowed the support of the esoteric to work with conventional medicine. it also struck me when you talked about how Serge spoke at the writers festival and pointed out people say they love their coffee but the truth is they need it – we really avoid the rawness and responsibility of complete honesty – that we can tell ourselves we love something that does not support the body. This is just one example of how we are not willing to see the choices we make.
A very beautiful testament to how the esoteric and conventional medicines work together. Before I met Serge Benhayon I was anti medicine, but now I accept that we are actually fortunate to have the surgery and treatments as complementary to our own choices in how we live. The esoteric support in making these choices and connecting deeply to ourselves is simply amazing.
Thanks for taking the time to express the benefits of Esoteric medicine and the utmost care and integrity offered by Serge Benhayon
The very simple example of how much coffee people drink is a lovely reflection of the way Serge Benhayon works. In my experience he has never said that we shouldn’t drink coffee but that it is wise to consider why we need it and what that is reflecting back to us. If we feel we need regular stimulation to get through our day, might this be saying to us that we are exhausted? It is just common sense really isn’t it?
Thank you for sharing this. Complementary health practices need to be discerned before we engage with them but having known Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine now for over 5 years, I say with absolute confidence that they have been nothing other than fully supportive of my health and wellbeing and encouraged full co-operation with conventional medicine. Our medical practitioners are overwhelmed by the demand for their services and it is surely common sense that we do more to take responsibility for our own health through well considered self-care practices and hence work with their valuable knowledge rather than fight it.
This is a great testimony of the marriage of conventional and esoteric medicine and how they complement each other. What also stands out is the absolute love and care with which Serge Benhayon has supported you in understanding yourself and the disease. The confidence you have built is groundbreaking and I could feel your fear and desperation disappearing and with this, true healing occurring.
A true complementary therapy provides active support that builds and expands on the wisdom and treatments of conventional medicine. This is exactly what Universal Medicine healing modalities do as they have evolved to and continue to evolve in complete alignment with the current modern time.
This was beautiful to read as I was fortunate enough to be one of many who helped care for this woman when she was dying. Her dying process was very inspiring as she was forever growing and evolving even as her physical body was deteriorating and dying. She expressed her ‘lived wisdom’ right up until the very end and died in a very gracious and painless manner fully present with no fear.
Thank you for sharing your experience of both Cancer, Universal Medicine, the medical system and Serge Benhayon. My father also had cancer recently and the experience you share is the same that I felt from the entire Benhayon family. A complete and constant loving support that combined a deep care for us as a family, not only my father but everyone else affected, and also the encouragement to embrace the medical treatments that felt most supportive for my father. During this process the fear of cancer, the fear of “the Big C” slowly had less hold. Without Serge Benhayon my approach to medicine and cancer would be completely different, and not in a good way. Now I have an understanding on what happens, why and my part and that is gold.
Thank you for writing your experience and in doing so the truth. You have exposed the lies and defamation that have been said about Serge Benhayon. Why anyone in the first place would want to do such a thing astounds me. I have known Serge Benhayon for over 10 years now and his respect, care and genuine depth of love for all is always felt and so very inspiring. Surely it would be more beneficial to study what he presents and publish stories like these, rather than lie and defame? Reading your story as well made me realise how many women have gone through similar experiences as you without this level of care and support you have had, this is what we need to turn and look at, this is what we need to change. Serge Benhayon has shown and inspired many to care and love others as he does. Thank goodness for him, I so appreciate knowing him and what he lives, presents and reflects to others.
This is a clear testimonial of conventional medicine and Universal Medicine working in harmony together to support the whole person and being through surgery.
Receiving a diagnosis of cancer and an aggressive form of cancer can be terrifying and it is a hard time to make clear decisions and to remain positive. Serge Benhayon is a calm and solid ally who’s complementary healing modalities are amazing at this time of crisis. He always supports the whole person and appreciates the value of conventional treatments. He allowed me to take myself and my health very seriously and to value myself deeply when I was inclined to try not to disrupt anyone else’s lives too much. Now I realise that to care for and value myself as deeply as I can is very important. Now I realise that it is important to accept the healing offered by western medicine and to work with it rather than to go into it with fear and a slight mistrust of the doctors and their care for my wellbeing. This is because of Serge Benhayon. It is a nonsense and wicked to suggest that Serge is anything else but supportive of western medicine and to spread false rumours denies others the chance to understand how creating a rhythm and flow in our bodies rather than fear and resistance, can really support a more harmonious experience of illness and disease.
Since attending presentations offered by Serge Benhayon I have seen a level of responsibility in the minutest detail of true care, that I have never experienced before. Serge Benhayon and other Universal Medicine practitioners constantly reflect without any self-aggrandisement – ‘one has to live this to share this’ with others. Walking their talk in full brings a deeper level of understanding to ‘Physician heal thyself’.
“One of the most significant things to understand about Serge and other practitioners at Universal Medicine is that they first take great care of themselves. They heed the old dictum: “Physician, heal thyself.”
An honest blog and very inspiring read. Conventional and energetic (esoteric) medicine coming together hand in hand, walking in the same direction is the way forwards to understand and treat the level of illness and disease that is increasing in leaps and bounds daily. Our body reflects the lifestyle and choices we have made and offers huge possibility for exploring these as an integral part of true healing.
What wonderful blog. The sharing here will be of great value to many others in the same situation or similar . The information you have shared is in depth and no one could be left feeling that Medical Practitioners are not valued by Serge Benhayon or Universal Medicine Practitioners, who work together with them in many situations to great effect.
There is so much shared here in just this one blog about the potential for health care and healing. Even to encounter a physiotherapist that suggests that the rehabilitation exercises be done with a quality of care and connection to the body and not merely mechanical movements could revolutionise the way physiotherapy is practiced and taught.
To write ‘Going into the third surgery, the mastectomy, I was almost calm, certainly accepting and even grateful….’ is remarkable and other markers of healing do not go unnoticed either by medical professionals when conventional treatment is combined with Esoteric Medicine. This has been my experience too, after a private session with Serge Benhayon and the energetic understanding he offered me I underwent a medical procedure with the surgeon remarking at how unusually well I handled it. I required only the minimum of pain killers and like you Annie C felt amazingly clear and light.
At a time when breast cancer and mastectomies are unfortunately occurring more frequently this line feels important to hear for the women that undergo this surgery, and medical professionals that perform them ‘Serge somehow communicated to me a sense that I would be alright, even if a mastectomy was necessary. He didn’t minimise the loss rather he acknowledged the fear and sadness that I felt.’ Let’s not minimise the loss of a woman’s breasts even when it is necessary.
Since encountering Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon, with every surgery, and every procedure I have had one hundred thousand percent support from Serge and other esoteric practitioners. I have sailed through each procedure with minimal pain and no post-op complications, But the most amazing part was how clear and light I felt after the surgeries… This compared to the trauma and pain of previous ops, it has been an amazing phenomenon to experience.
‘One of the most significant things to understand about Serge and other practitioners at Universal Medicine is that they first take great care of themselves. They heed the old dictum: “Physician, heal thyself.” ‘ Esoteric practitioners are not only showing but also living the true way to health.
Physician heal thyself; how apt and true. This story is so similar to my own; I particularly noticed the stark difference in the Conventional Medicine treating doctors to that of Universal Medicine practitioners. My physical healing is due to both, and I am grateful, however my energetic continued healing is absolutely due to the inspiration of Serge Benhayon and his “team”.
With your own support of self, coupled with the conventional medicine and the esoteric medicine, you offered yourself a well-rounded opportunity for healing. Conventional medicine and the esoteric offer us so much in regards to our health and wellbeing and I am truly grateful for both. The account of your experience is great to read and hopefully we’ll see more of these combined levels of support offered in the near future, because there is no denying there is much merit for it.
I can feel the steadiness in this account of taking responsibility for your own part in the healing process supported equally by conventional medicine and Esoteric Medicine offered by Serge Benhayon and practitioners at Universal Medicine.
Such a clear account of how complementary and Western Medicine work well together. What a gift to humanity to have both.
Yet another testimonial on the profound work and support that Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are delivering to humanity. The treatments they deliver are fully complementary to the western medicine and actually both are designed to work together, as they both cannot perform in full with out another. A marriage of the two will benefit the general health condition of humanity enormously.
I agree Nico, the effectiveness of western medicine is greatly supported and even boosted by the application of simple principles presented by Universal Medicine, as experienced and witnessed by so many. This deserves to be studied and explored in full to truly see what is possible in healing.
The healing modalities that Universal Medicine offer are very effective on many levels and the example you have provided of undergoing cancer treatment while at the same time recieving esoteric healing is a really good testament of the huge benefit of these modalities.
This blog is not only a great testimony on the generosity, warmth and deep care Serge Benhayon holds for all but an absolute support in building trust that there is another way to approach a scary and life threatening illness like cancer. This is so very much needed, how many of us stay silent and hush things up in our suffering, fear and hopelessness, turning away from people where we most need them.
I agree Esther – turning away from people when we most need them is another form of turning away from ourselves – Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine present a unified way with conventional medicine working very well alongside complementary medicine and in that mix we have our responsibility to self-nurture.
I agree Esther, it is crazy but so common that we ‘batton down the hatches’ and just try to soldier on in isolation at the time when we most need support. This is really a form of self-abuse that only adds to the ill-condition in our body, and a way of keeping others out when it is an opportunity for all to come together even more powerfully to learn and to grow.
The expression that comes to mind Annie is community support. It seems crazy not to engage and accept community support when we are vulnerable. From there we can see how much we can offer this love on to others when we are ready.
I re-read this blog as a family member has just been diagnosed with cancer. Again I am blown away by the generosity of Serge Benhayon and the practitioners of the UniMed clinic and the seamless way the esoteric modalities support the person to navigate their healing process and understand the adjustments they need to bring into their life to restore balance and harmony not only to the body, but to the being to which it belongs.
In his work Serge truly supports self empowerment as part of the healing process and never discourages conventional methods of treatment. When we are feeling into our bodies our decisions are made from a true connection and not from fear or anxiousness. Self empowerment is rarely discussed in conventional treatments but is an integral part of the healing picture. Esoteric medicine, conventional medicine and self empowerment to discern what is best for one’s body is a powerful combination for healing.
Anne your comment “Self Empowerment is rarely discussed in conventional treatments but is an integral part of the healing picture.” Is indeed the missing link to true healing as demonstrated in this blog. When the person being treated actually gets to energetically connect to the cause of the disease and has the opportunity to change their behaviours which has attributed to the disease in the first place… Now that’s empowering.
This is a great testament to the power of healing when combining self care, as taught by Universal Medicine and practised by it’s practitioners, with the expertise of the Medical system, which would be greatly improved if true self care were practised by the medical staff. The two go hand in hand, to bring about healing.
Yet another great example of how esoteric medicine and western medicine work hand in hand – one doing very well to treat the physicality of the disease, and the other working with the root underlying causes. Never in my life have I witnessed so many people make such huge changes in their life with such ease as I have in the community of people I have met through my interaction with Universal Medicine. It certainly showcases the fact that the only true approach to medicine is one that encompasses all of life, rather than one that reduces life to what can purely be observed in a test tube – which is of course an important part, but only a part of what true medicine entails if it is true.
‘One of the most significant things to understand about Serge and other practitioners at Universal Medicine is that they first take great care of themselves. They heed the old dictum: “Physician, heal thyself”. Indeed if this philosophy was lived by all healthcare workers it would literally transform the health care system itself.
I agree Suse. I feel that in the future we will look back and marvel at how we imagined we could possibly have a healthcare service where the people providing the healthcare did not look after themselves. We cannot care for another if we are not caring for ourselves first.
I echo what you have both expressed here Suse and Elizabeth! Caring for self is not a ‘new’ way of thinking – this wisdom has been known (and lived) for a long time and the words of the ancient philosophers are testament to this – so all we are doing here now in this point in time, is returning to the wisdom we already know, but are just now choosing to live.
This is a great testament to Esoteric Healing Modalities ,Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. The love and support you received from them and allowed yourself along side conventional medicine allows for true healing from deep within and feels amazing.
We are being offered a gift beyond all others which combined with how we live brings a wellness vitality and well being. I particularly love how you bring in the care and love for ourselves first and this is paramount in our living and supporting others also.
I really enjoyed reading this article again, it always seems to bring a deep sense of understanding about cancer and dispels the fear which often surrounds it. Cancer has been dominant within my family for many years, as long back as I can remember, on both sides of my mother and fathers extended family and then eventually with them. So my ears do prick up when I hear Serge talk about cancer and the treatment, and on every occasion he has always been pro medicine along with presenting how Esoteric Healing can assist.
I too have always heard Serge Benhayon speaking very highly of western medicine and never dismissing or suggesting it should be avoided. In fact, it’s only since being introduced to Universal Medicine that I have begun to embrace and fully accept the support that western medicine provides, and as a medicine that is complementary to Esoteric healing, I’ve found that I have finally begun to experience true healing.
Yes Angela I have felt the same with my own health concerns. There is no amount of change that can come only by taking medication. The quick fix does not exist as the behaviours that have led to the disharmony in the body come from the choices we make. The great part about the healing is that there is another option to go deeper and remove patterns that we may have carried for many years and discard them with ease when we combine the water medicine with esoteric medicine. Truly a way forward for us all.
Every time I have heard Serge Benhayon talk about conventional medicine, it has always been in high regard.
This is a truly remarkable sharing. Reading it, you can clearly feel the absolute love and care that was offered by Serge and others at Universal Medicine. What a truly embracing and beautiful support, deeply holding you through such a challenging time. Gorgeously putting the lies told about UM to shame.
This is very beautifully and clearly written. Using your experience here, there is only one way Serge Benhayon can be seen here, and that is fully complementary with and supportive of western medicine. What an amazing way to experience breast cancer treatment.
This is such a beautiful and confirming article. Confirming in that although I have not had breast cancer, my experience of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is that they work alongside conventional medicine – Universal Medicine is the missing link and offers us a complete treatment when used in conjunction with conventional medicine. Your story is an inspiration and offers huge support to us all. Thank you.
This is a beautiful blog with many aspects. One of them is that there are ways to minimise the impact of cancer surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy on the body and the psyche.
This is beautiful sharing. Our spherical living attributed to our illness and returning to truth, with spherical medicine will help us return to health and vitality.
Where did this rumour that Serge Benhayon was anti conventional medicine come from? Does anybody know? I have only ever heard Serge praise Western Medicine, although we all know it doesn’t have all the answers, and that’s where an open mindedness is needed for us to evolve our health by making better choices.
I love how you were so well supported in your time of need from Universal Medicine and I know that this complementary form of medicine will continue to grow in order to support many more people that are in need.
What would have been a terrifying and difficult time was greatly supported by Serge Benhayon and the other practitioners of Universal Medicine to completely change the experience to one of positive healing. What a blessing to have them working with you and with conventional medicine.
“Physician, heal thyself.” is a no brainer for Serge and the other Universal Medicine practitioners and yet very rare amongst conventional medical staff members. Even more reason for conventional and Universal Medicine working together with us in our true healing process.
Wow I love this “Physician, heal thyself.” Thank you for sharing, and to present that Serge Benhayon is pro conventional medicine, and that Universal Medicine is a very needed complementary aspect – to give a more holistic approach. I like what Serge had said here “He said immediately that he would never advise that I not have the chemo. He simply encouraged me to keep looking at my life and my choices and feel for myself what was right.” This is so empowering. A testament to the fact that Universal Medicine does not ever tell people what to do, but asks them to feel and do what is true and right for themselves. True respect – and therefore definitely NOT a cult. What I have learnt is to begin to honour and respect what I feel is true – and in turn not be afraid of making choices, but instead ~ choosing my way. And that there isn’t ‘one way’ or ‘Serge’s Way’, it isn’t about following him. It is about being ourselves, following our hearts, and that Universal Medicine is simply a supporting tool, to support this. Incredible.
“I could see how I had squandered my life energy and made myself vulnerable to cancer in spite of my ‘healthy’ lifestyle.” This particular comment resonates deeply with me as I was also of the belief that my health came from exercising and taking care of myself with my diet but I have too experienced the consequences of putting others first and how toxic this is to the body.
Yes deborahmckay, giving always to others leaves our own battery empty, after years of living with an empty battery I too left myself very vunerable and no surprise really that I also was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Yes, it is often thought that adhering to a moderate and healthy diet, combined with regular exercise, is all one can do for their health. I have heard this attitude from a cancer patient and the exact words were “what more can I do?” Diet and exercise are no doubt important factors yet as the writer of the blog discovered there is so much more we can consider that affects our state of health. Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon are the global forerunners of this, nowhere else in the world is this being as extensively written and spoken about.
“what more can I do?” People are genuinely wanting to know. I know I was when my health was floundering. Hearing Serge Benhayon present on the responsibility we have for the way we are living, that we are not at the mercy of something unknown was very powerful and empowering – whether we are living with vitality and wellbeing or living with illness or disease – it comes back to the way we are choosing to be with ourselves.
As with the your experience here, if ever I mention that I have a pain or symptom to a practitioner of Universal Medicine modalities, I am always encouraged to consult with my GP. Never have I been told to cease a medication, but to instead use it as a support while I deal with the underlying cause of any condition in my body. I see Esoteric Medicine as the missing link and very complementary to conventional medicine.
This story highlights the perfect harmony between conventional and complementary medicine and how accepting of both assists healing on a physical and energetic level. Our bodies respond so well to such harmonious and supportive treatments.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It felt so open and honest. You’re another great example of the amazing power conventional and complementary medicine have together.
That is such a great last line: “physician heal thyself” – it certainly wouldn’t stand up in most medical practices today, GPs are super stressed and we keep piling the stress and demands on them to fix us, at anytime we demand it seems.
Wonderful contribution. A well detailed story to highlight your healing journey.
I learned a lot by reading it.
What wonderful support that you received from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine practitioners. This testament is another great confirmation how well conventional medicine and Esoteric medicine can work together. Also of equal importance, your willingness to look at the way you were living and to make the necessary loving changes to support yourself in this continuing healing process.
This is a great example of how well Conventional Medicine and the Esoteric Healing Modalities work together and it is very calming and reassuring to know that there is such a great combination of these two especially when faced with a serious disease like cancer.
Thank you for sharing so beautifully how esoteric medicine has complemented conventional medicine in your healing process. It is amazing to feel the level of care and love you have experienced. When I had a few medical concerns, the advice I got from Serge Benhayon was all about taking responsibility, and that responsibility included getting support from conventional medicine, as well as looking at the choices I have made and am making in my daily life.
The true love and dedicated and consistent care Serge Benhayon shows humanity is awe inspiring. He is also a philanthropist in the true sense of the word. I have always known him to completely back conventional medicine at all times. So very blessed you were to receive his care.
I love your honesty and willingness to tell your story. Taking responsibility for our own wellbeing and healing is a huge step in changing how we look at our illnesses and diseases and I can feel from your blog that you have made that step and embraced the healing process with the support of Western and Esoteric Medicine.
What is written in this article is groundbreaking. The kind of support that you describe receiving from Serge Benhayon is huge and shown to work so well with conventional medicine.
This is such an honest and inspiring blog . The real news story – cancer patients being truly supported and cared for through what is clearly a very arduous ordeal.
Thank you for your blog. It supports us all and proves once again the immense benefits of the marriage of Universal Medicine and Western Medicine.
I love this. Everyone working towards one thing and that is a true healing through support, connection, wisdom and love. One could not be as powerful without the other.
Thanks for sharing your journey and what a great example of Esoteric Medicine and Conventional Medicine working in tandem.
What a powerful sharing on both the physical and psychological support offered by the Universal Medicine Esoteric Practitioners. I can only imagine thousands of people in the world would immensely appreciate this support at such a challenging point in life of dealing with Cancer.
I love that all the support you needed was there from all the modalities and all worked hand in hand with you and that you accepted the support that was available to you.
Beautifully shared and a testament to the truth of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon and the true service provided to the community.
Awesome article and yes I agree it is obvious that Serge Benhayon is pro-medicine. How beautiful that Universal Medicine had accommodation that you could stay at for free that was close to the hospital – what an amazing support. The Esoteric Healing Modalities are a powerful complement to western medicine and I use these modalities regularly to support my body and health.
It is always wonderful to hear the truth spoken from someone who has had the experience of how Serge Benhayon works with conventional medicine rather than hearsay from those who have an agenda designed to damage reputation.
I’ve always known Serge Benhayon to work alongside and in support of conventional medicine, bringing much healing with the modalities that he practises and teaches. This blog is a great example of how well the two work together for the full benefit of the person undergoing treatment.
This blog is yet another great testimonial of the power of using complementary medicine in conjunction with mainstream medicine. A very powerful combination indeed.
Great testimonial and I love how you combined treatments in a way that worked for you and that you were actively encouraged by your Serge and your Universal Medicine and your medical practitioners to do so – this feels like the way forward in working with illness, with both sides very much part of the equation.
Thank you for sharing this blog , you and many more people have come forward to share the truth that Serge Benhayon is definitely pro western medicine , his advice to others and himself if something comes up is always to seek medical advice, Anything said to the contrary by a few detractors is a lie used in a personal vendetta with no truth just used to hurt in an attempt to discredit this man and his family. Why because he stands and delivers simply and clearly what most of us don’t want to hear- the truth.
What a beautiful blog about trust, care and the connection between Western mediicne and Universal Medicine.
What a beautiful healing blog about Universal Medicine and Western Medicine.I came to a greater understanding of my body through Universal Medicine and its loving modalities more so than any other source of medical care. Both medicines walk hand and hand because they are there to help heal the body of illness and disease yet when I spoke with Serge about my experience with cancer he supported me in making the choice I felt right for me at any given moment, Serge/ Universal Medicine gave me the opportunity to take responsibility for my own body and in how I was living.It was a time for me of truth and responsiblity and because I have changed my way of living greatly from where I was when I had cancer I feel very healthy and alive more so than before.
I made the choice to be honest with myself and why the illness was presenting in the first place.I too would not have come to this place of understanding if it was not for Serge Benhayon teachings and loving support.
Such a beautiful and lovingly delivered example of how Universal Medicine does not work alone. My experience of new age therapies is that they claim to be the one but all I found was I jumped from one modality to the next and could never settle. I also found myself stepping further and further away from accepting that Western Medicine was a good thing. The current debates on vaccination are a classic example of this.
Since associating with Universal Medicine I have realise there are three key aspects to the healing process – Universal Medicine, Western Medicine and me. When I am included as part of this process, I have realised I am always free to choose what feels to be the right medicine for me and my body and it is possible to do this when I embrace Universal Medicine and Western Medicine as partners with me in the healing process. I would never have come to this point of understanding without what Serge Benhayon presents.
Fantastic testimonial, of how you can work and support yourself with medicine while undergoing cancer treatment, and in doing so you have provided yourself with true support. Something you said about honesty struck me, we tell ourselves so many little lies, like the example you list ‘liking coffee’ when if we are truly honest and say we need coffee it changes and gives us the space to look at what we’re choosing and how we live. You’ve prompted me to consider those things I say I like but which actually I need based on how I live.
What a great sharing – Universal Medicine certainly brings truth to being a complement alongside conventional medicine, recognizing that we need both to heal.
I too have found Serge Benhayon to be very pro medicine. There are a few medical practitioners including surgeons who are also students of Universal Medicine. The way Serge Benhayon has spoken about conventional medicine has been as a huge part of people’s health and to have the two modalities working together is hugely beneficial.
There is also the other factor – our choice to be aware of what our bodies are communicating to us and our choice to listen and respect what is being said. This blog so beautifully expresses all three elements coming together – a great example to us all. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your experience and showing how conventional medicine and complementary medicine work so well together for total health. One does not work without the other. I have heard presentations by Serge Benhayon about the importance of conventional medicine in helping support medical problems.
I used to take a lot of pride in using alternative therapies and saw conventional medicine as a ‘last resort’. Since attending Universal Medicine presentations and listening to Serge Benhayon, I now understand why the ‘best medicine’ is the marriage of conventional and complementary medicine. What a joy to know that with this holistic approach, I am actively empowered to support myself to live the healthiest life possible.
I work as a psychologist – and I want to see people become well. Wanting to see people become well – while not a drive – is in fact the ethics that makes me consider what is best practice in any treatment. You are sharing that your treatment, conventional and esoteric, have been crucial in supporting you to be well.
That’s solid evidence, solid proof, observable by others as well as given by your own report. It’s great reading these blogs, to see that the direction of medicine is in fact changing and being recognised, as needed by health care professionals and patients globally.
I too have always found Serge Benhayon to be very pro medicine. What he presents complements conventional medicine very well indeed.
There appears to have been a marriage between 3 Amazing modalities – Conventional Medicine, Universal Medicine and you. The quality of our choices make a difference in the level of our Whole Health. Allegations without truth can do a great deal of harm. Thank you for sharing the truth of your experience for others to feel into when making their own choices regarding than health.
Before my involvement with Universal Medicine, I came from a pretty suspicious mind-set regarding orthodox medicine, feeling that you had to be pretty desperate to resort to it and that New Age therapies were more highly ‘evolved’ if prevention was better than cure. Since then I have realised through direct experience, that the New Age modalities that I indulged in to address and cope with life, have only served to suppress my true symptoms of ill health, burying them deeper into my body and giving the illusion that I had ‘healed’ them when in fact they only waylaid me. My body as a result had to re-experience everything and with much greater intensity for me to actually see and feel the very real problems I had been living with. I understand now, especially after reading this amazing story and having been involved with Universal Medicine for over 5 years, that conventional medicine is absolutely necessary to deal with the current trend of ill health and that once the Esoteric is also embraced as a true complement, then as you say, “when the two are combined, the patient is very fortunate indeed.” The work of Serge Benhayon reuniting Western medicine with its Esoteric origins, will be long remembered. Of this there is no doubt.
I was sceptical of conventional medicine too Peta, not really getting any satisfaction out of the medical profession, as most of my symptoms seemed to be psychosomatic! I then came to realise it was the power of my mind focusing on a symptom, making it worse, when all along it was my body trying to tell me something. My attitude has changed towards conventional medicine since Universal Medicine, and although Conventional Medicine doesn’t have all the answers, yet….. in putting Conventional Medicine and Universal Medicine together we will be somewhat nearer to finding them.
This is a profoundly supportive article for anyone facing a diagnosis of cancer. It is clearly shown that the healing comes from the support of both conventional medicine and esoteric medicine combined with the responsibility of the patient to care deeply and lovingly for themselves.
Absolutely Mary, it definitely takes three. Universal Medicine being the missing key.
I have been going to Universal Medicine courses for over ten years and have alway heard Serge Benhayon fully endorse conventional medicine. Serge is truly amazing – how he is busier than anyone I have ever met, but can always find the time for anyone who really needs him.
I was staying in the accommodation provided by Serge Benhayon and the Universal Medicine clinic when a cancer patient was also staying and going from there each day for her radiotherapy.
She was overwhelmed by the support she was receiving, being able to stay there too at no charge and also having sessions to support her at no charge. I felt so humbled by this and the true charity that Universal Medicine provides with no fanfare at all. Just loving respect and care for people.
This was a really genuine account of how Serge Benhayon is in favour of conventional medicine and also greatly supportive of so many, even financially, who are really up against it health wise. Yet what I have found makes Serge a true role model, is how he actually extends the same love and respect to anyone who is genuinely working with what life is presenting to them, with honesty and courage, be it physical challenges or otherwise.
Thank you for sharing your experience and showing so clearly the love and care provided by Universal Medicine in working hand in hand with modern medicine.
So beautifully expressed – the truth & deep caring of Serge Benhayon & Universal Medicine can be felt.
Rest deeply….a great piece of advice when we are ill. We can fight being sick so much when our body is asking us to rest deeply. I know I am re-learning to rest deeply when I am ill or recovering. It is such a gift we can give ourselves.
I used to reject medical support in favour of alternative therapies because medicine on its own didn’t seem to address my issues and there was so much arrogance in the medical professionals that quite simply turned me off. If the truth be told though, the alternative therapies didn’t seem to be completely supportive or healing either, albeit somewhat less arrogantly delivered. It was Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine Therapies who inspired me to turn my thinking around to see how combining modern medicine with Esoteric Healling modalities holds the key to true healing. I have never been in better health, psychologically and physically since embracing and using both disciplines.
The combining of Conventional medicine and Universal Medicine is certainly a whollistic approach where we can get the best of both worlds. I love Serge’s words, rest deeply, they convey so much love and deep care.
A great demonstration of the fact that our medical system can only benefit from the addition of esoteric modalities when it comes to patient care, true healing and lowering the costs associated with medical treatment.
The bottom line is you can’t knock what works and Universal Medicine works just fine hand in hand with conventional medicine as many cases have shown. It is a huge support before, during and after operations and other treatments.
Yes, Universal Medicine is certainly pro-medicine and any therapies that Universal Medicine offers are offered as complementary therapies and never as alternative ones. I too have found that since attending presentations by Serge Benhayon, I have allowed myself to trust more conventional therapies and medicines, whereas prior to the presentations, I tended to write them off as having too many damaging side effects to be worth using. I am very thankful to Universal Medicine for having helped me come around to accepting what conventional medicine has to offer us, and as this lady has presented in her writing – when we combine the two, we really get the right support that our bodies need.
Thank you for sharing your own experience of the benefits of combining conventional medicine with esoteric healing modalities and how the marriage of both is still only always in support of us taking our own responsibility for the choices that got us there and that are then in front of us to make.
What a beautiful account of how, by combining conventional medicine and its wisdom with that of esoteric healing, this lady was able to face her breast cancer treatments head on and in a way that was supportive and healing.
Universal Medicine is very pro conventional medicine and through this support I have been more inclined to seek medical care and preventive treatments to care for my health.
This is indeed a beautiful true personal account describing how the esoteric therapies can work alongside conventional medicine supporting a person through medical treatments. It also reveals how Serge Benhayon is, and always has been, very much pro-medicine.
I deeply appreciate what has been shared in your experience of breast cancer. The support you received from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is unheard of for most people who have cancer (I work in cancer care). Two members of my family were also supported by the healing modalities of Universal Medicine, whose practitioners deeply supported them in all the challenges that a cancer diagnosis brings.
With much untruth having been written elsewhere, including in the media, it is so refreshing to read such strong, clear truth about the support that Serge Benhayon provides to all of us who need it, and of his clear support for Western Medicine. This blog was written well before some of the more recent and offensive lies have been spread in a couple of hateful blogs, and yet it is able to respond so fully and clearly to them. Such is the way with truth.
Your blog clearly illustrates the fact that Universal Medicine actively and completely supports present day Conventional Medical treatments and that together they truly support the individual as a whole being… Thank you.
I have had much contact with the so called New-Age-Movement and have seen hundreds of cases where conventional medicine and doctors were rejected and discredited. Certainly Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine don’t belong to such a movement. It is utterly ridiculous to say such things about Universal Medicine. Thank you for this blog.
I was fascinated reading your blog. Your story could offer much reassurance for those who have breast cancer and by sharing could give new insights on how to tackle the disease. It sounds like the marriage of conventional medicine and Esoteric Medicine has worked for you.
Thank you for this very special sharing of your journey and treatment with Cancer. It is an inspiration for everyone to read and feel and the support from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine along with conventional medicine is so beautiful and true.
This is amazing and brings the learning of true healing for everyone if we take the responsibility for ourselves in this process and the support that is there also.
Absolutely true, I have seen Esoteric Practitioners for 10 years and they have always talked about conventional and complementary health practices working together. They do indeed live what they share, this is rare, I know, but it is happening and it is very supportive and healing.
How amazing, it sounds like to meet Serge just at the right time. Thank you for sharing this and showing how Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon deliver true charity exactly where it is needed. Gorgeous to hear you coped well with some seriously toxic medicine flowing through you – that’s truly amazing.
It’s pretty inspiring to read a blog where someone, you, are able to share how they were able to unfold through this process. A diagnosis of Cancer is huge for anyone and to be able to write about that without blame or emotion is big! Thank you for doing so and allowing us all to see how the combination of both medical and complementary treatments supported your healing.
WOW – a brilliant blog, thank you so much for sharing this. It is amazing to read about your experience with tying together conventional medicine and esoteric medicine, although I have not gone through anything close to what you have described with multiple surgeries, chemo, and radiotherapy – I know that if in the future I am in need of medical attention I will seek the support of both conventional and esoteric medicine.
Re-reading this blog today I can feel the deep appreciation for those who have supported you during your medical treatment, both within the hospital and the Universal Medicine clinic. This blog shows us how the marriage of both conventional treatment and the Esoteric treatments support our healing.
I have learnt so much from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine over the years that conventional medicine and universal medicine can work wonderfully well, hand in hand. Both support each other.
Inspiring to read how you experienced Universal Medicine’s partnering with conventional medicine. Not just lip service but parallel-running counsel and treatment at each key decision point, with you as the decision-maker all the way through. I’m struck by the level of kindness and extra-mile support that was provided. That’s incredibly rare and immensely loving, but then, exactly what health care should be.
This piece says it all. Serge does not write off conventional medicine at all. Everything that he presents is a gift for yourself, that can be used alongside anything you wish to participate in. It is not ‘something’ or an act, a healing, in isolation – it is a way of living, which supports you to express and live the true you in every moment. Knowing that this is a way of living it goes without saying that it is with you in everything that you do, wherever you are.
Fantastic blog and very inspirational. This is a great reminder that there is a place for both conventional medicine and esoteric medicine. What you have shown here is that however fit and healthy we may feel, if we are willing to look deeper, as with the esoteric medicine, we will perhaps find that we are are not as fit or healthy as we thought.
What an inspirational blog. Thank you for sharing your experience. I had given up on conventional medicine many years ago, now since becoming a student of The Way Of The Livingness, and of myself, with the support of Universal Medicine I now include conventional medicine as part of my health care and find the two work very well together.
I found this blog a great inspiration and confirmation of the truth of how life works when we allow ourselves to be helped and supported. So often we are presented with alternatives to choose from – and this blog offers an alternative view. We can be open to a life that is inclusive of conventional wisdom, and also to that innate wisdom that resides within us all when we are connected to our inner heart.
It is great that you were so well supported by the combination of both conventional medicine and Universal Medicine and this is a fantastic testimonial that you have written for how Serge Benhayon works with conventional medicine and also how he always recommends it to clients. The combination of conventional medicine and esoteric medicine is a very powerful one.
After avoiding conventional medicine for a great part of my life I now value the support it gives me alongside Esoteric Healing. Before I met Universal Medicine I was not valuing what the medical system could offer and was caught up into alternative therapies that I knew never actually reached the deeper place of healing that they promised and that I knew was somewhere inside me. Now I have the combination of the expert medical skills available, and a far deeper understanding and experience of what true healing is through my sessions with Esoteric Healing Practitioners. I have also witnessed and experienced the love and support that Serge Benhayon gives to anyone who comes to him with an illness, and how he confirms them in their choices to work with both medical and esoteric.
Combining Universal Medicine and conventional medicine is a marriage made in Heaven.
How amazing is Serge Benhayon, the true support he quietly gives to those in real need. Now, that is LOVE, true love of people.
Hear hear Lorraine
Thank you for sharing your experience. I love how you have embraced conventional medicine with the full support of the Esoteric Healing Modalities. I have personally seen how the two marry beautifully together and support even the most difficult conventional treatments that may be required.
Thank you for this account. It’s inspiring to hear the support that was given by Universal Medicine. I hope that ‘conventional’ medicine will soon open it’s doors to the complement of Esoteric Medicine, without which we are only seeing one side of the equation.
I find this article to be deeply touching, how you have expressed your journey and what you have learnt is an inspiration to many. I have heard it said that Esoteric Medicine used in conjunction with Western Medicine is a marriage made in heaven. I certainly have found this to be true and your story validates this, when we are willing to learn what are bodies are telling us and to look at how we have been living we open ourselves up to healing on all accounts and both Esoteric and Western Medicine can support us greatly in that healing.
what an incredible experience… I can see how important combining Western medicine is with the Esoteric and the amazing support you received.
A beautiful blog – thank you for sharing your experiences which are so inspiring to read
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful experience of how much support is offered by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, and how well the work together with Conventional Medicine. There is so much help and love available if we choose it.
This is a very open, honest and inspiring blog, which gives a first hand account of what is experienced by a women who receives a diagnoses of breast cancer, which necessitates surgery, Chemotheraphy and radiation treatment. The article also shows clearly how beautifully conventional medicine and Chakra-Puncture compliment each other.
An amazing article, thank you for being so open about your diagnosis and treatment, and the support you received from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. I am humbled by the simplicity in which you talk about a time that for most people would be filled with pain and doubt and fear. I know if I received a cancer diagnosis and had to under go treatment I would be very scared. I think its amazing that through your weekly sessions with Serge Benhayon, you where able to find rest and let go of your fear, and with the treatments at the hospital, address your cancer. It is amazing that you have been able to start caring for yourself and take responsibly for your choices, thank you so much for sharing.
This is a very straight forward honest and open blog just saying it as it is. The support offered by Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon and the practitioners is a reflection of true brotherhood.
Great blog, which beautifully encapsulates how Universal Medicine and Conventional Medicine work hand in hand. I love your honesty and willingness to feel, and look at each thing that arose along your healing journey, a great sharing. And no matter where we are in life, we can make the choices to truly care for ourselves. And so true about Universal Medicine practitioners, they really do care for themselves and when you think about it, why would anyone want to be cared for by anyone who hasn’t been taking care of themselves.
You have really demonstrated here how we can truly heal through the combined workings of the healing therapies as practiced by Universal Medicine Practitioners and Conventional Medicine. I experienced the same when a few years ago my periods stopped for over a year. If it was not for the support of the two combined I would never have begun to look at the root cause of why this had occurred and the part I had to play in looking after myself.
I agree Shevon entirely. Before meeting Serge Benhayon and attending Universal Medicine presentations – I had given up on the medical system – I felt they were great when you had a serious illness or disease yet up to that point when you did not fall into the parameters for the drugs there was little they could do or say, most do not have the nutritional knowledge let alone the time to be able to support the body – at least this was my experience.
Something Universal Medicine brought to my awareness is that true healing takes place when we address and deal with the actual causal issue that led to the physical issue – the energetic root cause. Otherwise all we do and effectively all I was trying to do was restore the body back to function – something that is deemed a success. So pre-Serge I had turned away from conventional medicine and embarked on a Naturopathic degree as I thought at least they could help the body more but again the main focus of a naturopath, at least how they are trained, is to restore the body to function. It does not address the root cause, but often acts under the guise that it does and so can in fact be more harming. Universal Medicine embraces and adds to what Conventional Medicine has to offer, completing it, not dismissing it like I once did.
I agree James, I used to think I was addressing the root cause when I practised acupuncture, but I never really looked at what was going on energetically, i.e. what was REALLY the cause of the illness. So, in effect I was just addressing function, and changing nothing in reality.
It is amazing Lorraine how we can get so caught up in function and looking at the immediate quick fix results we conveniently forget about what led to the illness, disease or dis-harmony in the 1st place, then we get the cure or fix and carrying on with life as if nothing happened.
I used to do the same with naturopathy – the idea was to address the root cause but all we were doing was going a little bit deeper than a conventional doctor would and would celebrate in comparison rather than truly getting to the root cause. Otherwise as you said all we are doing is addressing function.
Great points James – through medicine/naturopathy it is very outcome driven, focussed on getting to or back to function, whereas the esoteric is all about why we have digressed from function in the first place, and about returning back to a place of vitality, where our inner-most (the true meaning of the word ‘esoteric’) is expressed outwards every single day, in every single way
Well said Jessica – the esoteric is concerned with returning us back to our inner-most, a place of vitality, function then is a secondary benefit but not the primary reason – to arrest the ill energy which caused the in-balance in the first place is a true healing.
Yes Shevon, combining Universal Medicine’s healing modalities and conventional medicine enable us to be able to truly heal. Great that it really supported you.
Yes Lorraine, the two together has supported me and continue to support me. This was revealed again recently when I had blocked ears through impacted ear wax. Yes I could get them drained from my doctors surgery, which I did but prior to this I was graced with the awareness as to why this had occurred. As I had shut down, withdrawn from people and closed down my heart the ear blockage was the result of this. Once aware of the way I was living and choosing to address this and through the support of Universal Medicine practitioners, the drainage of the ear wax came once I opened up again.
Yes Shevon this has been my experience too. With the support of Universal Medicine and Conventional Medicine I have been able to look at what is really the cause of my health problems and how I take care of myself.
I have enjoyed reading your story very much. I hope that many others find this and find it helpful. Thank you!
Yes, Thank You for sharing as you are a beautiful confirmation of the loving work Serge, Universal Medicine and its practitioners offer each day. with love and appreciation Kirsten Roslyn
Thank you so much for writing this – you have encapsulated all the principles and deep loving support that is the work that Serge provides and offers to us all. With much love and grace to you on your journey.
