I am a student, client and friend of Universal Medicine (UM) and Serge Benhayon. Hearing about some rumours about Serge and UM – which sound like outright lies and misinterpretations – I would like to share the following with you:
I have lived for about 10 years with breast cancer; my 4th recurrence was at the end of 2011. Over the first 5 years – until about 2007 – I tried each and every natural and alternative way to heal myself. Having experienced two severe medical mistakes in my family in Germany and having studied natural healing and nutrition for years, I had had no trust or confidence in conventional medicine at all since I was a teenager (I am now 59).
I was not successful in healing the cancer and chose to have a mastectomy in 2007. By then I had started going to Serge’s presentations, workshops and having esoteric healing sessions. Since I felt so ‘ right ‘ about being anti medicine, I was surprised to hear Serge saying in several presentations that he is pro conventional medicine. As my alternative efforts over five years to heal had failed, I needed to have a truthful look at my emotionally driven aversion to doctors and anything to do with conventional medicine, and esoteric counselling has been very helpful with this. Slowly my view of the medical world changed and I chose to trust it more. At the end of last year – having the 4th recurrence – I agreed for the first time to have radiation therapy whereas before I had rejected anything medical except the surgery itself.
The radiation oncologist was wonderful and so was the hospital staff. During the six weeks of daily radiation treatments I had the most amazing loving support from Serge and the practitioners at the UniMed clinic. I had regular sessions from Serge to support my body through radiation and was able to stay at UniMed House opposite the clinic as I live too far away from the hospital in Lismore to drive in every day. I was looked after with meals prepared for me while I was getting very tired and burnt from the radiation. And all this support was free of charge! I healed and recovered quickly and very well from the radiation.
Serge never tells me what to do. I sometimes wish he would when I find it very difficult to make a decision about a medical treatment or medication. But when I asked he always said that I have to feel for myself what’s right for me. He often stresses this in his presentations too, that he never tells us what to do and that we have to feel what’s true for ourselves.
I don’t know if or when the cancer will come back. I do my best and I am less and less worried about it. What I do know is that I have support in a way I never experienced before, that I often feel amazing and loving within and with myself and I trust that I can hold that state should I have another recurrence.
With the support of UM I rarely suffer or worry anymore but am learning to love myself and my fellow human beings. I feel this is a much better contribution to human life than being a victim, suffering, miserable, worried and depressed, all of which I used to be.
My studies with Universal Medicine and the esoteric healing sessions have enriched my life immensely.
Medicine and Serge Benhayon 
‘With the support of UM I rarely suffer or worry anymore but am learning to love myself and my fellow human beings.’ This is a beautiful testimony to Universal Medicine and all it brings and you are a truly inspiring woman, Ingrid, we can feel the level of self care you are living with.
Such a beautiful partnership in your healing – when you are able to work with someone and for them to not tell you what to do but empower you to make your own decisions. That is so encouraging and really shows how we do actually know what our bodies are saying if we listen.
We are so used to being told what to do, and even though we often do not like what we get told to do, this way of being seems to be pretty much hard-wired in many of us. When we are left to our own devices, we often feel lost and not know what is true for us. Rebuilding that connection with our inner-most, the part that holds the truth, is such an amazing, empowering process. It changes the way we experience the world completely.
Learning to love yourself and human beings again is one of life’s greatest joys.
It’s an incredible life tool to know that worry and anxiety is a choice. If we focus on something to be worried about we can make the situation disproportionately large in our minds. If on the other hand we choose to simply remain very present in ourselves everything changes.
Serge Benhayon’s support and care and dedication to people is second to none. I’ve known many cases where he has supported people and helped them through enormously challenging periods of illness. His dedication to people is exemplary – with this amazing support and understanding and the amazing skills of doctors it’s like you have the opportunity to set out on a new way forward.
It’s great to put the truth out there about Serge, not just that he is pro-medicine but that he is a genuinely caring person supporting many people and at times free of charge. Serge has been so helpful in my own life as well, always providing support that is deeply caring, wise and understanding, helping me to understand myself and heal whatever was troubling me. He has also developed some extraordinary complementary to medicine modalities which have improved my health and well-being in so many remarkable ways that I am now studying these therapies myself. His whole life is dedicated to humanity, love and the truth – the media could learn a lot from Serge!
With true self love and honesty we transform the quality of our vibration. In this way we heal ourselves.
Thank you for this heartfelt testament to the loving support available from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine to all who have challenging circumstances, medical or otherwise, in their lives and how the marriage of conventional medicine and the modalities offered by Universal Medicine truly complement each other rather than being in competition.
Universal Medicine modalities and conventional medicine, a match made in heaven.
Conventional medicine is essential for treating cancer, but that alone is not the path to healing. What is also important is the quality of support provided by those around us and in Ingrid’s case to have a cadre of people to visit, talk to and cook for her fundamentally helped her healing. This is true community and brotherhood.
It seems to me, that breast cancer can have a devastating effect on so many aspects of one’s life, and while it is difficult enough to deal with all of this, a person must also learn how to make important medical decisions about their treatments too. It does seem vitally important therefore to have the kind of support that is honouring and embracing of who you are in and amongst it all, so that decisions are made from your core and not from any ideal held in the mind that does not necessarily know what true love is.
This is true community – people coming together to support someone who is sick. A joy to read that this model is possible an can be reflected to the world. Often in illness people do not want to be a burden and they hide from the world. BUt this avoids the one thing we need at the time – support from others and the reflection of what is truly going on .
No ideal or belief can withstand truth. Every person has their story, their experiences and their lessons. We cannot apply a “one size fits all” bandage on people and call it that – for some illness, herbs and nutritional changes may support, for other we may need surgery and for third we may simply need a pill. But, if we don’t address the energetic cause then nothing in our lives can truly change.
Ingrid you are a true inspiration, the more we honour ourselves and deeply feel from within our body we can use that feeling as a guide to what supports us in different situations, it is very loving how Serge supports people through their medical treatment, often without payment, providing support which allows you to feel deeply into what is going on, and an opportunity to deeply heal what caused the illness.
Feeling for ourselves with regard to what treatment feels right for us as individuals is so important , as there is no one right way to do anything.
Ingrid, you are a shining example to this day of everything that The Way of The Livingness is about and represents. The undeniable truth is evident in how you live, and your living imprints mark the way of truth and love for those who are willing to see. This can never be denied, thank you for the inspiration that you are and will be for us all many years to come.
I love how you were able to define your preference of alternative medicine as “my emotionally driven aversion to doctors and anything to do with conventional medicine” to have a truthful look at it – sometimes what we think is good for us only comes as a result of our past hurt but we like to justify it as being ‘right’ stubbornly.
I agree, being anti-medicine is not the way to be healthy. In 2002 I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and a hyperactive thyroid and was advised to take aspirin to thin my blood and avoid a stroke. I didn’t take anything. I was fine for a couple of years but in 2004 I had an arterial clot in my right leg and could have lost it. That was a big wake up call for me – now I take whatever medicine is prescribed – I always chat with my Doctor first and he doesn’t prescribe any medicine unless it is really necessary, but I no longer shy away from seeking medical help, and then will often see a naturopath to support my body in dealing with any side effects.
You make a very important point here Ingrid that we need to allow others the space to make their own decisions, as we all have an innate wisdom to be reconnected with when we live from our innermost.
Ingrid what if we all embraced life and healing in the way you have shown is possible? What if we looked at Cancer not as something to fight but something to reflect on and adjust how we live life so we don’t repeat the same patterns that got us sick.
Yes I agree, fighting energy takes a lot out of us and gives us a rather hard stance on life. It actually produces tension in the body when our body is asking for care and love and the space to heal. Looking at ourselves and our behaviours gives us clues as to how come the cancer started and how it developed as it did.
Yes Elaine, there is a maturity and steadiness about Ingrid’s approach to her own healing, very different to one that sees it as a fight. There is also acceptance and an absence of drama and emotion in the way she writes about her experience,
The truth when spoken will crush a thousand lies.
Ingrid thank you for sharing your experience, it is very important that we make our own decisions when we are ill, once we have all the facts because it means we are still taking responsibility for ourselves, the moment we stop taking that responsibility we give up on ourselves.
This ‘anti medicine’ stance is so easy to pick up when looking for alternatives. It’s only when I stopped being so critical that I realised that western medicine has a HUGE amount to offer, its just that it does not cover everything. That is where complementary medicine, and in particular esoteric medicine help to complete the picture.
” Serge never tells me what to do. I sometimes wish he would when I find it very difficult to make a decision about a medical treatment or medication. But when I asked he always said that I have to feel for myself what’s right for me. ”
This is so important, for a person’s choices are based on their free will which is the basis for living one’s own life and way of being.
National Health Services in the west aren’t perfect and medical mistakes can occur, albeit rarely. But to have a health service at all and freely available to all is a blessing. In my country of birth, Sierra Leone, like many in Africa, no such service exists, not surprisingly average life expectancy there is 50.1.

Thank you Kehinde for this great reminder that there is much to appreciate about our health service rather than taking it for granted and just complaining when things do not go right.
Ingrid, I can relate to what you share. I have in the past pitched conventional medicine against complementary, and at times dismissed the former. Far better, as you confirm, to remain open and enjoy the the benefits of working with both fields of medicine.
“But when I asked he always said that I have to feel for myself what’s right for me.” In truth this is the most loving thing someone can say to you, that you have to learn to feel for yourself again what is true and to confirm that we indeed do know what is true inside ourselves without needing an outer source to tell us what it is.
It’s really inspiring the point you share here, where the surrender, acceptance and empowerment are felt and one and the same. What else we could need in a moment like that and ever?
‘My studies with Universal Medicine and the esoteric healing sessions have enriched my life immensely.’ A beautiful way to express the impact of Universal Medicine on your life.. The quality of my life has change beyond all recognition: it now has purpose and with this every moment precious and lived to the full.
I too am learning, when relating to others ill or otherwise, the value of allowing people to feel for themselves what is true and make their own decisions. This empowers them to connect to their own knowing and wisdom and make supportive choices for themselves and even when they don’t, can learn from it
It’s a beautiful comment thank you Kehinde, this is the way we can hold people without any imposition and respecting their right to choose what they want to and their free will. This is something that I also learn from Serge as he never needs anything from anyone, he knows those around him by their exquisite essence even if they are not able to live that yet, and offers everyone space to come back to themselves and their soul in their own way and time. There is always much inspiration to be drawn from Serge and how he lives his life.
Thank you Melinda, this deepens our understanding further. Serge “never needs anything from anyone, he knows those around him by their exquisite essence even if they are not able to live that yet, and offers everyone space to come back to themselves and their soul in their own way and time.
Ingrid thank you for sharing how deeply you care for yourself and all the ways you feel are appropriate and loving for you. What also struck me as very beautiful is that there is no ‘suffering’ of thought, this would be truly inspirational and support for many people.
Ingrid, you are such an inspiration. What really stands out for me is how making choices according to what feels true for us is the learning, and not getting to what we think might be a ‘right’ decision. And the more love we allow for ourselves, the truer our choices become.
Thank you Ingrid for this contribution, I totally agree with you when we build self love and love for others, things seem to become less important, and what we would usually worry about has a way of sorting itself out.
Such a beautiful testimony from one who knows and who has experienced Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon in action, first hand. These are the kind of accounts that have true power and credence.
The endless and old fashion support offered from the Uni Med team is incredible, it warms my heart. Anyone that has indicated that Universal Medicine is anti- western medicine obviously has not done their homework. The amount of people that have been re-inspired from Serge Benhayon’s presentation and pro western medicine approach is amazing. I have read many blogs about people that were once adversed to mainstream medicine that are now not only using western medicine as a support but truly appreciate modern medicine, the advances and the dedication of the staff in the profession.
It’s interesting the preconceptions we can have about another, or a group of people, when we judge them or comprehend them purely through our own flavour-tinted glasses. Over the years I’ve been learning to catch these beliefs – beliefs that we actually accumulate to support and keep going other beliefs in a web of lies, deliberately placed and sustained so as not to face the truth.
It is truly extraordinary to go through what you have and experience that level of love and care to support you through the process. I love that you literally defy statistics and throughout what most suffer through, you feel amazing and feel the love within to the point you know you can hold that state no matter what happens… this is a stunning testimony to you, Serge and the healing power of Universal Medicine.
We really all need to clarify, distinguish and understand the complementary to medicine and the alternative to medicine game that is being played out in today’s world with regard to our own health care and the conventional health care system itself.
One way or the other we all learn that there is no substitute for living with Love. Some lessons we take in our stride, others we resist a number of times. Your sharing here reminds me Ingrid that we each receive our learnings in different ways – and how foolish it is to compare ourselves to others we know. Ultimately everything comes back to our willingness to listen and honour what we feel. We can blame other people, the struggles and the strife, but boy oh boy this is not right. It’s our obedience to God we are here to clear.
The Universal Medicine Healing Therapies fit hand in hand with conventional medicine, and provide an undeniable support for anyone wanting to return to true health.
A profound and intimate sharing – thank you Ingrid. Having spent years receiving alternative medicine therapies and being against medical help, it was a refreshing breeze of change to hear Serge Benhayon advocating the use of the conventional medicine when needed, as being an important part of our healing.
Thank you for sharing your experience, conventional medicine is a great thing, and their advancements in medicine and care are in themselves amazing, when you add Universal Medicine practitioners to the mix you get something absolutely extraordinary.
“With the support of UM I rarely suffer or worry anymore” – how beautiful to live this way to have the support of a loving community.
Meeting you the other day at a Universal Medicine event I was blown away by how beautiful and vital you looked and felt. You grow younger and your eyes sparkle more and more, an amazing testament to the choices you have made and are making.
I am not sure I have heard from someone who has had cancer four times or had 4 recurrences of cancer. I have seen what effect just one bout can have on a person and this is traumatic enough. From this article the support you were offered and had, made a huge difference in your recovery, your treatment and your outlook on things afterwards. This all round approach seems to be, from what you are saying, the difference between a full recovery and just getting by. I know Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have been the same support for me in a different context.
Lovely to feel the way you have become responsible for your life and the love that you are now growing in your body. This is true healing.
Thank you Ingrid. What your story so clearly shows is that what Universal Medicine brings allows for true healing. True healing in the sense that we heal our hurts that have us live in behaviours of protection and beliefs about how to life, so we can return to the lightheartedness and ease we deep down know our truth to be.
Thank you Ingrid, for expressing through your lived experience how valuable and powerful the union of modern medicine and esoteric medicine is, in offering the opportunity for us to make choices that truly support the body and being to heal as best as possible.
There is a strong reaction at times to conventional medicine, however it really does have a place in our healing, as does some complementary health, they can work together so strongly and supportively. A great testimonial to the integrity and love of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon.
Thank you for sharing your story. It is rare indeed to find someone with a history of cancer such as yours to say they are not worried, that in itself is a miracle.
With the grace of allowing, Serge Benhayon is without exception offering us the opportunity to find our own true path, and through that choice we can then evolve.
‘With the support of UM I rarely suffer or worry anymore but am learning to love myself and my fellow human beings. I feel this is a much better contribution to human life than being a victim, suffering, miserable, worried and depressed, all of which I used to be.’ Very true Ingrid, learning to love ourselves builds a solid foundation to not only hold ourselves but to love all other human beings equally.
“My studies with Universal Medicine and the esoteric healing sessions have enriched my life immensely.” Thank you Ingrid for sharing how accepting and appreciating the work of conventional medicine working alongside esoteric healing has brought enrichment to your life.
It is indeed an amazing moment when we let go of our confining ideals and beliefs of right and wrong, and accept the immense love and support that is always there for us in life. The choice is always ours.
We are not out bodies Ingrid and I could feel how your self – awareness and appreciation of the love you feel within you is far more sustaining and meaningful than the temporary nature of our bodies. A beautiful sharing.
Ingrid, how beautiful to hear how you have opened up to the amazing support that is around when we truly seek it! And as you have discovered, by marrying a conventional medicine approach with the complementary medicine approach, we are offering ourselves so much more. Thank you Ingrid!
“With the support of UM I rarely suffer or worry anymore but am learning to love myself and my fellow human beings. I feel this is a much better contribution to human life than being a victim, suffering, miserable, worried and depressed, all of which I used to be.” I smiled when I read this, yes I do also feel it is a much better contribution to human life. It is a result of taking responsibility for your own life and your own choices and looking at what ideals/beliefs/pictures you are holding. It is the new way forward (and one that is very ancient).
It is deeply inspiring to feel how Serge Benhayon has supported you through your journey with breast cancer and empowered you to make your own decisions but always been there with answers to the practicalities of dealing with conventional treatment as well as with complementary healing. Your commitment to yourself is beautifully reflected in your own words ‘With the support of UM I rarely suffer or worry anymore but am learning to love myself and my fellow human beings. I feel this is a much better contribution to human life than being a victim, suffering, miserable, worried and depressed, all of which I used to be.’
It is beautiful to feel the difference in the way you feel Ingrid between the early days of trying all the natural and alternate ways to deal with the cancer, and how you feel now you have accepted and embraced what medicine has to offer as well. Serge Benhayon is responsible for that shift in me too, which as a complementary medicine practitioner has actually opened my practise up enormously from the days when I too was very anti-establishment medicine. My patients appreciate enormously the support they feel for their choices and my ability to support them is far greater as I come with no judgement in that.
Ingrid thank you for sharing your story. I understand what you have written here as I too once completely rejected conventional medicine always seeking the alternative route in desperate vain that I could heal myself without it. Some of the treatments sound very harsh particularly radiotherapy and chemotherapy I have read several stories about these and again can understand why someone would feel a bit scared and want to avoid these. But and this is a big but, my view has completely changed with regards to this now. I no longer try and run away and seek alternative treatments for anything. I have a understanding and knowing that how we live creates all in our life and we are not given anything we cannot handle, we truly do hold our health within our own hands. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are the reason I no longer run from anything but instead I have learnt a commitment to life, and a far deeper love for both myself and humanity. How supportive is it that Serge and Universal Medicine provide treatments, a place to stay and meals for people with cancer so they are supported. Now this is a model that all of us should learn from because why should this be the only place in the world where this currently happens?
What I have learnt over the years from Serge not giving advice is that this is the most loving thing you can offer another person… for then they are independent and trust their body and what they feel is most supportive for it. Serge inspires me to not bring my ‘best advice’ to my children. It is something I struggle with and most of the time jump in with a ‘solution’ really disguised as advice, which I can see does not support them. Love what you worked through Ingrid re western medicine and the amazing support you were offered throughout.
Ingrid what an amazing sharing of the depth of love and support from Serge, Universal Medicine and all those students of Universal Medicine. It is what true community, true care is about showing how when you combine the complementary therapies that Universal Medicine present with medical treatment you have a support for true healing.
Although I can relate in the past with wanting Serge’s advice about what to do, I must say in truth it is really lovely not to be given advice.
Ingrid how amazing is it to have true support in one’s life? Your blog shares what that support looks like, what it feels like and how with true support there is a real opening to see that we can’t simply look at one part of our life without the rest and that each action we’ve done in the past has a direct impact on the next moment and our healthy way forward from here.
It can be felt clearly how your openness has brought true healing Ingrid. The presentations of Serge Benhayon connect with the truth in many that have heard him speak and his openness to conventional medicine is just one of the components he speaks of. When you wrote the comment – ‘What I do know is that I have support in a way I never experienced before, that I often feel amazing and loving within and with myself and I trust that I can hold that state should I have another recurrence’ – speaks loudly of something else that has also occurred during your attendance at Serge’s presentations and that was the loving acceptance of yourself and your relationship with humanity. Everything is connected and sometimes in life what we are living brings the most loving understanding of the fact that we are so much more than what we are aware of.
It’s admiring Ingrid to claim what you do know and now confident about. You might not know if the cancer will ever come back and yes I’m sure those thoughts will never ever cease to not be there however, focusing and learning a way of living that will support you to deepen your love and care for yourself is what is needed to live a more fuller life. As Serge says only you can do this for yourself. It’s called being responsible; for whatever is needed for your own health and wellbeing, and why not you deserve it.
I used to want Serge Benhayon to tell me what to do, expecting him to have all the answers but this is so disempowering, and is not supportive and he never did that anyway. Through Universal Medicine and Serge’s presentations and healing courses I have really understood that by taking responsibility for my own life in full, I will naturally get all the answers I need.
Nothing like setting the record straight with a very clear example. Since I came to Universal Medicine around 4 and a half years ago, I have taken far more responsibility for my health and well being and I now embrace the support of conventional medicine. The combination of conventional medicine, energetic healing and our own responsibility, means true healing is possible.
The love and support offered by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, during times of illness is truly generous, well beyond the norm.
I can so relate to this Ingrid “Serge never tells me what to do. I sometimes wish he would….”, but I know this is the only way that I will get to truly understand what is going for me. I have come to appreciate that Serge Benhayon is there to support, but not to save me, the only person that can save me, is me, and from this wonderful process I have the opportunity to learn and to grow.
Ingrid thank you for sharing such a personal experience with both cancer, medicine and Universal Medicine. To have felt the love and support that once again allowed you to trust and embrace western medicine for the great work they provide whilst also taking care of yourself through what Universal Medicine presents is an amazing turn around from the fact you had lost trust in the medical system.
Thank you Ingrid for an honest account of the wisdom of combining conventional medicine and esoteric medicine. I totally agree and support where you say “My studies with Universal Medicine and the esoteric healing sessions have enriched my life immensely.”
When we understand there is a cycle to our life, with much learning along the way and to allow ourselves to be love and be loved in return, it brings into focus that time is not the measure but the quality in which we live is.
You received amazing and truly loving support Ingrid in the choices you made around your conventional treatment, being backed-up and supported all the way by Serge, Universal Medicine and Universal Medicine complementary therapies.
Rosanna I completely agree it is a very different experience that many have with cancer and one that is only possible thanks to the deeply loving personal choices and then dedication of what Universal Medicine offers.
… and this support comes through a commitment to true healing.
It’s beautiful Ingrid to feel the loving and consistent support you have received from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and extremely unfortunate that there are those who are choosing to undermine what humanity is so desperately in need of – the option of choosing a different way of living which if taken allows the possibility of living a life full of love and vitality with the understanding that illness and disease are merely there to show us that the way we are or have been living is not true.
This is such an honest account of your original decision to avoid conventional medicine Ingrid and how the emotions driving your decision to forgo it for so long played out. I have known Serge Benhayon for a very long time now and know he has always been pro conventional medicine offering all Universal Medicine modalities as complementary.
No other can tell us what to do as it is our responsibility to feel what is true. This is empowering. It is also our responsibility to let go of that which is not true to uncover what is true. I am learning that it is through the way I am with myself and my livingness that supports me to make choices that are self-loving and in alignment with who I truly am.
I have heard that Serge and a team of volunteers support people in this way so thank you for writing about it so others can hear and see that it is the way of a truly caring community. I love that we have to make our own decisions because it encourages us to understand there are always consequences to our choices and in that way, we can own them. In truth, what I have found is that when I abdicate my choice to another, that is a choice in itself so the consequence of that choice is still mine!!
This is beautiful to read Ingrid, the love and support offered to you by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is the future of Medicine and how as a community we can support and care for anyone experiencing a similar condition so they can allow their body to fully rest and heal.
Lovely to read about your re-build trust into medicine – thereby it is in truth a rebuild trust in yourself and in people. I made a few ‘not so well’ experiences with doctors (specially with orthopaedic specialists…) in my life and did blame & judged ‘medicine’ for it. But with the presenting of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I’ve began to analyze my relationships with western medicine and specially with the people who represent it. What was my part in this ‘not so well’ meeting and result? And I found out that I did give my power completely away, wanting the other to fix my problem – what is not possible, so no wonder that it was not a ‘successful’ relationship. To start to take responsibility for my illnesses and my relationships changed everything for me.
It is interesting how we don’t want to take responsibility and end up blaming the medical profession when something goes wrong. I have heard many stories like this. Our health is our responsibility and it is only when we see that all illness and disease stems from our choices in life then only true healing can occur. This maybe challenging to fathom for most including myself at times when I feel uncomfortable to look at my past choices but it is makes absolute sense to me to take responsibility for ourselves and that includes our health.
Wow Ingrid – your story is very powerful and inspiring. I love the appreciation and wisdom you share here “With the support of UM I rarely suffer or worry anymore but am learning to love myself and my fellow human beings. I feel this is a much better contribution to human life than being a victim, suffering, miserable, worried and depressed, all of which I used to be.”
Ingrid there is no doubt that the support offered by Universal Medicine complements Western Medicine in perfect harmony, the simple truth is that the part the Medical Systems have been looking for is here today in Universal Medicine. Combining both is the way forward, whenever I’ve got sick recently its this combination that has greatly supported me.
How beautiful Ingrid to read about the support you have received from Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon, bringing about an understanding and acceptance of conventional medicine and a deeper love for yourself and others, along with a new found joy of life.
Ingrid what a turn around – thank you so much for not holding back and sharing your amazing story: “With the support of UM I rarely suffer or worry anymore but am learning to love myself and my fellow human beings.” That is for me a missing part in the conventional medicine, to learn about true self love and therefore I love it very much that you brought the awareness to it.
This is a wonderful example of how esoteric medicine complements conventional medicine.
These are the stories the that need to be reported, not the lies that have been brought to print through unscrupulous journalists and editors. This is true charity – offering services free and unconditionally, with love and support that is out of this world. None of it done for personal gain, and mostly it goes unknown and unrecognised.
This is a gorgeous story of support and community.
It is interesting how journalists completely ignore testimonials like these.
The inner wisdom that Serge Benhayon shares about how simple life changes can make all the difference in how we heal, will be known one day world wide.
This is a beautiful testament to the wonderful care and support that Serge Benhayon offers to many people when in need of help when ill, whether its with healing or free accommodation. Supporting us to seek traditional Doctors opinions of our illness as well as healing through Universal Medicine modalities. Thank you Ingrid for your sharing.
Ingrid, I really noted your comment that living life based on love is a greater contribution to life than living as a victim etc. This is such a simple yet profound comment. We are all here to contribute to the world and the impact we can make through living as lovingly as we can certainly makes a very valuable contribution indeed. Thanks for the reminder.
This is inspiring Ingrid & while I haven’t experienced breast cancer myself, can absolutely relate to the previous arrogance of ‘the right’ of anti western medicine (& was a strong advocate of this myself for several decades). Last year I had some major surgery and totally embraced all that was offered by western medicine which I used together with esoteric medicine to support myself. I also echo my deep appreciation for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for presenting and reflecting what true healing is about.
On writing the above comment I was reminded of a close friend who passed several years ago of breast cancer. During her illness, conventional medicine was completely shunned and therefore the support it could have offered during her illness was never explored. As I look back now it shows just how the mind can override what the body knows it needs to fully support its healing. How much does this affect us, even when we go to conventional medicine, but present with the feeling of desperation and for it to fix us, does this open our bodies to be fully receptive to what it offers? Can it be more effective with a person who has chosen to take responsibility for their health and are doing all they can to support what conventional medicine has to offer?
Dear ingrid, on rereading your article tonight, along with many comments, I am very stilled at how many people, myself included had disregarded conventional medicine. How too that it has been through the understanding that Serge Benhayon has presented, that the same people are opening to feel the truth behind their anti conventional medicine stance, and are now embracing conventional medicine as an important part of their healing.
The uncertainty of having an illness like cancer can cause tremendous stress and anxiety. The fact that you have learned to deal with it is truly inspiring Ingrid.
I agree Elizabeth,
Ingrid has not only learnt to deal with this, but has chosen to live her life in full and has blossomed because of the choices she has made. Showing us all a way of being with cancer that is completely changing the ball game and the beliefs about this disease.
The last few paragraphs in this blog are remarkable statements from someone recovering from cancer, feeling amazing and loving towards oneself and others is not the usual benchmark people aim for when recovering from cancer. Not a faith based steadiness and strength either but from a solid connection Ingrid has made to her essence within.
It is so refreshing to read such an honest account of life with the love and support of Universal Medicine.
A strong endorsement for the type of support available from Universal Medicine and how it can work in true partnership with conventional medical intervention in healing.
Thankyou for your open sharing Ingrid. “What I do know is that I have support in a way I never experienced before, that I often feel amazing and loving within and with myself and I trust that I can hold that state should I have another recurrence.” This is so beautiful to read – and I know this to be true for myself also, as I too have recently experienced breast cancer and am now clear.
So wonderful to hear of the amazing loving and healing support that you were given from Serge Benhayon, who puts people first before profit. He tirelessly offers true service to humanity.
Wow, one day everyone will have this type of support. Until that day there is work to be done.
Ingrid – your story is another testament to the power of combining complementary and Western medicine. I was particularly struck by the transformation within you through this process as the physical suffering was definitely present but that overall you could see that living a life filled with self love, appreciation and acceptance was very instrumental in recovery and ongoing well being. The change in perspective sounds quite dramatic yet powerful and amazing at the same time. Thank you for sharing.
I love the simplicity of what you have shared Ingrid. You felt the truth, as presented by Serge Benhayon and you allowed yourself to respond. I know there was much more to your actual experience of having breast cancer, however it feels to me like truth triumphed because that is what you/we are aligned to – naturally. Thank you.
In my experience it was not until the choice was made to first of all consider that I knew the truth and then began a very concerted effort to choose every day to align with this truth, that I began to experience true changes in my health. Whilst this is our natural way of living, I lived many years with no comprehension as to this being my natural and true way. As you say Bernadetteglass, a big thank you to Ingrid for showing us all the power of choice.
This has been the key for me too Leigh, connecting back with what is my nature and discarding bit by bit, what is not!
How rare is it to see an organisation support someone in such a way?! You would not hear any stories about a business providing accommodation, treatments and a lot more over a 6 week period for absolutely no charge, and it gets even better if you consider that Universal Medicine inspired Ingrid to change her perspective on conventional medicine in the first place that meant she required this support during her radiation treatment. What an incredible business, no wonder they have won the People’s Choice award in Lismore two years running. From my own experience, Universal Medicine and the student body make you feel like you are a part of a huge family, and this is backed up by Ingrid’s testimony in this blog.
The level of support and the effectiveness of Universal Medicine healing sessions was obviously very effective in helping you heal from breast cancer. An excellent example of how conventional and esoteric medicine can work so well together
The level of support you got from Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon is truly amazing. I have not ever heard of this any where else actually, having supportive meals and staying near the Universal Medicine clinic and Lismore Hospital all free of charge. It really shows what is possible if we make life about love and living and working together. Thank you for sharing Ingrid.
Ingrid this is a very powerful blog and still so important to read and celebrate. It very simply puts to rest the wrong assertion about Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine being against western medicine and how esoteric healing can be a true complement to that medicine. Besides that, I was rejoicing at how when you changed your mind and let go of resistance to western medicine, you had a positive experience with in. That says a lot.
The only way to empower another person is to support them in empowering themselves.
Yes Luke, it the end we all have to make the decision, take the step, feel the truth for ourselves.
Agree Bernadette, no one can make the choice for us.
As I read your blog Ingrid I could feel a sense of relief coming over my body. Feeling deeply in my own body that I care for it as it needs and wants to be cared for, no matter where my health is at. This is very pertinent for me just now as my body does have a health issue and I have been caring for it with both conventional medicine and esoteric modalities along with support from a naturopath. And while I feel amazing on the inside, in fact the most amazing I have ever felt, my body is revealing to me layers of raciness that I simply haven’t felt before. In feeling this I know I am being called to consider a deeper level of care, that I am now prepared to provide.
‘With the support of UM I rarely suffer or worry anymore but am learning to love myself and my fellow human beings. I feel this is a much better contribution to human life than being a victim, suffering, miserable, worried and depressed, all of which I used to be.’
I love this statement and couldn’t agree more. Taking responsibility over our own lives brings enormous healing and support to everybody else as there is no blame but a life lived in growing awareness of the consequences of what my actions or non actions bring to the world.
The care you received from Universal Medicine during your treatment Ingrid is legendary. The more I read about the transformation people experience when coming in contact with Universal Medicine and its practitioners the more I feel in myself the ancient wisdom they share with us.
You write with such a beautiful steadiness Ingrid. Your deep appreciation for the love and support offered to you through Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon is clearly felt and coupled with the conventional medicine and your own self-loving choices brought about a great healing for you. “My studies with Universal Medicine and the esoteric healing sessions have enriched my life immensely.” Me too Ingrid, an ever deepening love is being built.
There are many whose “studies with Universal Medicine and the esoteric healing sessions have enriched” their lives immensely. I am with you both on this Ingrid and Shelley. The love and support offered through Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon coupled with the conventional medicine and our own self-loving choices can be life changing.
My heart melted as I read your beautiful account of your experiences and the support you received from Universal Medicine practitioners and Serge Benhayon himself. I know all that you say is true as I know of others who have had such tender loving support, who have had incredible illness and disease and with the combination of conventional with esoteric medicine are now living very different lives with greatly improved health and well being. It is a very lovely thing to witness these miraculous changes in people, well done Ingrid.
So beautiful to read Ingrid, about your experience with Universal Medicine and the support that was offered to you, and the loving support for your self to accept this. I have been like you, not wanting to trust the medical profession, trying to do it on my own. I have since come to learn how much modern Medicine has to offer us as the other half of our healing.
Beautiful to read how your experience with Universal Medicine and cancer has shifted your views around conventional western medicine Ingrid. I can feel how having the physical support of Unimed House made such a difference and that you are now treating yourself with such care, respect and love.
Ingrid, I also used to be very suspicious of doctors and conventional medicine and had a plethora of home grown treatments in my medical kit. I did have chemo and radio therapy, but then I vowed never to have either of them again should cancer return, despite being advised that I had 25% chance of living for more than 2 years. I also combined conventional medicine with complementary treatments and attribute my survival to this combination.
Since meeting Serge Benhayon, like you I have slowly come to trust conventional medicine more, as it has been my experience that Serge always advises to seek conventional medicine in an urgent situation (such as a heart problem) and then to follow-up with esoteric medicine in combination. Something that I now do as a matter of course.
Ingrid, you have certainly been through a tough time with your physical health but it sounds like your ‘whole of life’ health is now in top shape, thanks to the choices you have made since first coming into contact with Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and its practitioners, including accepting all that conventional medicine has to offer.
Thank you Ingrid for sharing your story. I really like your honesty about how your decision to avoid conventional medicine was emotionally charged and hence was blinding you from being able to receive its support. Serge Benhayon has always been a great supporter of conventional medicine. He knows how well esoteric medicine and conventional medicine work together to produce something quite brilliant for the patient. I use both conventional medicine and esoteric medicine and I can say that doing this has changed my health status enormously.
I agree wholeheartedly Elizabeth as this has been my experience too. Combining conventional medicine and esoteric medicine has changed my life. Thank you Ingrid for sharing your story – yes, I wish sometimes too that someone will make the decision for me – but the support my practitioners from Universal Medicine and the presentations of Serge Benhayon to help me understand my body contains and knows all the answers is profound.
The lies that have been told about Serge Benhayon should be a crime, for it is clear that the absolute love and support that he has offered you, as he has for countless others, is immense and deeply beautiful. I have only ever heard him speak highly of western medicine and always in deep appreciation for its use and advancements. This has repeatedly however been expressed alongside consideration of the part we play in our healing through taking responsibility for our choices that may have led to the illness or disease – a key component to true healing and the future of medicine if we are to really address the state of the world’s ill health.
This is true support Ingrid. What you have shared is a beautiful story and how you look at and live your life is a healing.
Thank you for sharing so openly and honestly Ingrid. I too have found great support with Universal Medicine and that my life has been more enriched, vital and with more loving connections. And that I have a choice how I live my life.
This is beautiful Ingrid. The love and support you received from Serge Benhayon and the Universal Medicine practitioners has allowed you to make new decisions based on the needs of your body, not based on the emotional reactions that you were having. This is revolutionary, as I know how hard it is to separate the emotional response from the considered choice when you are facing a deadly disease. You write with such a strong clear voice and true calm that is so graceful.
What you shared here Ingrid about the support you received from Universal Medicine during your radiation treatment is amazing. The form of true charity that Serge Benhayon presents is a rarity in the world that is sorely needed. What I have learnt from Universal Medicine is that I am supported to support myself and others to support themselves and eventually others as well. And that there is a sense of naturalness that comes with this that is less abrasive or defensive as fending for ones self or group can feel like.
What incredible support you have received from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. He is a truly amazing man who models self care and is able to give so selflessly. I love what gregbarnes888 said above about Serge Benhayon being an example of how ‘a true son of God works on earth.’ He certainly has inspired me to see that it is a privilege to be able to give to and support others.
This line made me chuckle … “Serge never tells me what to do. I sometimes wish he would … “. The reason I chose and still choose to seek Serge and other Universal Medicine Therapy practitioners counsel is because they don’t tell me what to do. What they offer is an extraordinary support to feel for myself what is true without interference … I have never liked being told what to do and prefer to figure it out for myself. It feels like cheating on my life otherwise. It is however wonderful to accept such amazing care and understanding, as you have described Ingrid whilst you undergo medical treatment, for it opens up the door to a very deep healing for the body that cannot be offered through conventional medicine alone.
Lovely to read your blog Ingrid, Conventional medicine and Esoteric Medicine go hand in hand and it is something I am becoming increasingly aware of as I learn more about my body and how it heals. To know why we have the illness is an important part of the healing, but we need the support of conventional medicine to get us back on track.
Ingrid what a beautiful woman you are. Thank you for sharing your experience with Universal Medicine and expressing the support and care that you have received.
Conventional and Esoteric Medicine are in deed a match made in heaven. ✨✨
‘With the support of UM I rarely suffer or worry anymore but am learning to love myself and my fellow human beings. I feel this is a much better contribution to human life than being a victim, suffering, miserable, worried and depressed, all of which I used to be’. What you share here in this short sentence Ingrid is just AWESOME, Awesome, Awesome…..
Thank you for sharing Ingrid. This is a beautifully honest account of your experience of Serge Benhayon and what it is that he is bringing to humanity in presenting to us once more the esoteric and how essential it is to combine it with conventional medicine for a truly holistic approach.
The power of what Serge Benhayon represents is so very evident in what you write Ingrid. For you to so comfortably decide to accept medical intervention the fourth time around clearly shows that you were able to truly let go of your many long held beliefs around conventional medicine. Making space for you to be able to feel the true support that is there for all in our medical system.
A beautiful example of the amazing benefits of conventional medicine and esoteric healing working alongside each other.
The depth of love and support you received from Serge Benhayon and the team at Universal Medicine, especially at the house where you were staying during your treatments, feels so amazing. I have not been through the same medical experience as you Ingrid, but my own experience with Serge and Universal Medicine has contained exactly the same love and support – it is always there and always totally unconditional.
It is beautiful to feel in your experiences here Ingrid, how others supported you in your condition to truly heal. This sense of Brotherhood and true community is beautiful to feel.
Thank you Ingrid for sharing your experience with breast cancer and your treatment.
I went into nursing but was disillusioned by conventional medicine as I was looking for a wholistic approach. I then studied alternative therapies, but also found something was missing. Since meeting Serge Benhayon and having experienced esoteric healings over 6 yrs, I have found that the combination of both conventional medicine- for medical diagnosis and treatment, with esoteric healing- getting to root cause of illness and disease and treating it from an energetic perspective has been the best healing outcome.
Thank you Ingrid, I love the simplicity of your words.
Thank you for sharing your story Ingrid. It’s amazing how many of us have been turned off medicine when we were younger, only to have positive experiences later on. Relying only on alternative medicine does not make sense. Medicine has so much to offer and if we start the healing process ourselves, we get the best of both worlds
Ingrid to read your story, the support you’ve received and the way you’ve taken responsibility for doing your part in the healing process is very confirming to read. It shows society a true way to be with an illness and should be on the front page of every newspaper as millions worldwide are desperate for a true answer to what is going on in their lives.
I love re-reading this blog to feel the deep appreciation that Ingrid has for the support she has received over the years. This blog is a testament to the true love, care and consistency that has developed as a model of how healthcare can be and will be in the future, as the medical world starts to take heed of the work done by Universal Medicine.
I have enjoyed re reading your blog Ingrid. The support that you have been offered by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is huge. How supportive to go through something like breast cancer and then feel truly held in love and offered the sessions and treatments that you were all free of charge. Now that is true love and service.
You share your story so beautifully Ingrid. You did make me chuckle when you said “Serge never tells me what to do. I sometimes wish he would …” I’m glad Serge doesn’t tell me what to do but sometimes you think he knows better than you do but we are just coping out and we’ll never get away with that! Serge constantly shows us only we can choose and no one can ever do that for us. This is so true and a lesson to learn .. Over and over again!
Ingrid thank you for sharing your experiences.
I, too, have no idea whether cancer will return or not however as you express ‘With the support of UM I rarely suffer or worry anymore but am learning to love myself and my fellow human beings. I feel this is a much better contribution to human life than being a victim, suffering, miserable, worried and depressed’
So whatever time I have left there is a focus, a contribution I can make, rather than sitting with the sword of Damocles hovering above.
Through beliefs over the years I had created a stand offish behaviour towards the medical system and delved into natural and alternative healings. With the support of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I now have a stronger and more true form of care, which includes conventional medicine, esoteric healing and self care.
Thank you Ingrid for a beautiful and inspiring blog. As you say “My studies with Universal Medicine and the esoteric healing sessions have enriched my life immensely”.
Hi Ingrid, I appreciate your story. It’s wonderful reading blogs from the many people supported by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, who are standing up to say “the media has lied and here is the real story.” Serge has also been incredibly kind and supportive to myself, to my family, and to others around me who have experienced crisis and suffering. I was delighted but not surprised to read of the support you received. Your story is incredible and like yourself thanks to the help I’ve received my own life is more one of calm and joy now as opposed to the misery, suffering, worry etc you wrote of. All the best Ingrid.
Thank you Melinda, well said and so true. The support received by so many of has been life changing and these blogs are a confirmation of that.
The media has lied and here again are the real stories. Extraordinary care and love of humanity is found through Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon each and every day.
What amazing support Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine provided for you Ingrid and what a wonderful confirmation of how well Esoteric medicine, conventional medicine and you the patient go together in playing a part in the healing process. It is inspiring to read how you turned your life around to being more caring, nurturing and loving with yourself and now you reflect and share your gentle sweet nature with everyone.
Thank you Ingrid. What you share in this blog is how a true son of God works on earth. Serge Benhayon is providing the blessing for us all to feel and see what true divinity and true brotherhood are all about. How blessed are the students of the Livingness?!
Ingrid this is a beautiful and powerful testimony of how you have empowered yourself, though being inspired by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, to make loving choices to truly care for yourself which supported you to seek and trust conventional medical treatment. I could not only feel the deep gratitude that you are expressing towards Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for the self-loving changes you have made, but also for the love that you were held in and supported with, unconditionally, whilst you continued to make the choices that would assist your healing and recovery as you returned to a more harmonious state of well-being. This is the highest form of care that I am aware of. Imagine if more patients were cared for in this way, with this high degree of love? This is what should be studied and reported and how esoteric medicine is complementary to western medicine. Thank you for sharing the experience of your journey with us all – truly inspiring.
It is absolutely amazing and totally inspiring to see how you have turned you life around Ingrid. You are such a delightful, feminine ray of sunlight, and it’s a Joy to feel how someone can make such huge changes.
Ingrid thank you so much for sharing your experience of the loving support you received from Serge and Universal Medicine, and the profound effect your choice to love your self has had on your healing process. I can relate when you said that Serge never tells you what to do but sometimes you wish he would! So much in the world is always telling us how to be and so little assures us that we can connect to ourselves and feel what is true for us, this way of living is unfamiliar to many of us but is the way to love and freedom as you seem to have found.
This is a beautiful story of true generosity and true care Ingrid. Perhaps people will say it is too good to be true, but I remember staying at Uni Med House with you at that time. You were in a remarkable state of being for a woman at such a vulnerable time. You were very engaged with your treatment, not emotional about it at all and also very much allowing yourself to be nurtured by the people at UniMed House. I will never forget how much you inspired me.
Thanks for your beautiful blog Ingrid. Being open to and connecting to the wisdom ‘within’ brings self love and self care. It feels like instead of doing to, taking control or dictating, you have truly embraced ‘you’ with the tender preciousness you innately are. Bringing all of that to the Conventional Medicine system is true support of self.
Hi Ingrid – what a beautiful blog and a huge turn around. Experiences such as your do need to be shared as there is such fear of ‘the medical system’ – maybe the fears are more about us truly accepting that we have an equal part to play, rather than those in the system ‘fixing or curing us’. As your experience and others that have shared our experiences can be quite different to what we have imagined they might be and we surprise ourselves how caring, dedicated and deeply committed those in the health system are.
I too had an aversion to conventional medicine which I am now letting go of leaving my body with a much broader range of support!
Universal Medicine has been absolutely key to this for me.
Wunderbare Ingrid your amazing and honest blog can be an eyeopener for people who made the same bad experience with conventional medicine like you did. You wrote: “As my alternative efforts over five years to heal had failed, I needed to have a truthful look at my emotionally driven aversion to doctors and anything to do with conventional medicine . . . ” It is so good that you offer an other way to heal – to put everything together – conventional medicine, esoteric medicine and the support of deeply caring and loving people.
Conventional medicine plus support seems to be a very helpful and healing combination.
Thank you Ingrid for sharing how Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon have supported you to embrace the support available from conventional medicine but also to learn to approach your life in a more self loving and caring way which has given you a platform to move forward with your life whatever happens in the future.
Thank you Ingrid for this lovely blog of your experiences in accepting conventional medicine, self love and the loving support of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Ingrid you have reminded me about how important it is to share these experiences and therefore offer support to each other. There are many women who will benefit from your sharing and stop to reflect on how our beliefs can hold us back from what is truly supportive. Thank you.
Bernadette,
You mention offering support to ourselves and to others. I am learning, that the level of love and care we offer to others deepens the more we love and care for ourselves. To feel the simplicity, yet enormity of this is a great honour.
Ingrid thank you this contribution on Medicine and Serge Benhayon. It was great to read how supported you felt by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Your steadiness and strength to be so honest is a inspiration to many.
Thank you Ingrid for your positive experience with Universal Medicine working alongside conventional medicine, and how that changed your aversion to conventional medicine. Given that Serge Benhayon is in favour of conventional medicine, I wonder about the source of the rumors?
Ingrid, a very honest and first hand account of yourself, Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and western medicine. How lovely they have all united.
The depth of support you have received from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is nothing short of amazing, Ingrid, as is the turn-around you have found in your acceptance of allopathic medical treatments.
What I feel most profoundly from your writing here, is a sense of steadiness in you – a steadiness and unwavering quality, despite the stages you have been through with your illness. This is true medicine, where not only is the body treated as is appropriate, but the being – the woman that you are – has the opportunity and support to re-find herself (we could say), to know who she is and thus meet what may come from such a foundation.
Your strength in this is deeply inspiring Ingrid, thank-you so much for sharing in this forum.
A beautiful comment, Victoria, that serves as a great reminder for us all – it is our connection to ourselves in our essence that is all important and provides a steadiness through life, not what is going on around us or happening to us. For Ingrid to have re-discovered that in herself through this process is deeply inspiring.
Absolutely Janet. These are the stories the world needs to hear about illness and disease – where the true healing has been so deep within, that we have reconnected to the unwavering steadfastness of knowing of who we truly are, and are held by this way ‘beyond’ an outer condition that may present.
The very notion of ‘what healing is’ is something requiring redefining, is it not? Most surely, it is not about apparent the state of the body alone.
These are the stories the world needs to hear about illness and disease, to learn what healing is, what it isn’t and our part in this procesd. I agree with you, Victoria is not about the state of the body alone.
I love your comment here Victoria about ‘the being’ of Ingrid, the woman she is, having the opportunity to ‘support and re-find herself.’ What quality to bring to our lives, truly honouring of who we are and making decisions to match that honour! So loving.
Yes Victoria I agree. It is Ingrid’s steadiness that is the true medicine. This is deeply inspiring.
Hi Ingrid thank you for your deep and caring blog. I feel we all need to listen to our own inner voice and realise that we can trust ourselves and the Support of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon at all times. I too have had some great support from Universasl Medicine and Serge and am very grateful for this.
A beautiful sharing, Ingrid. Your deep appreciation for the loving support you received from Serge Benhayon throughout your healing process is very much felt. How many other health practitioners would go to these lengths to support their clients – and free of charge? Amazing…
This is so important to be written and to be read. Serge Benhayon is pro western medicine and what he has presented it is not lip service. Recently in a hospital visit for a routine check, I faced my fears about hospital and letting go of control and just brought all of myself to the appointment – a surrender of the fear and a claiming that it was a loving thing to do for myself. The staff, from receptionist to student doctors to the registrar (head doctor) were so caring and attentive of me and encouraging of questions etc. I absolutely knew it had a lot to do with my attitude towards them, as representatives of conventional medicine.
Simon, this is a great sharing which will offer much to many. Thank you.
I love the fact that we all have that chance to heal if we can all be supported in this truly loving way. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have shown us what it truly means to lovingly support all around us no matter what is going on. Time for humanity to step up and take note.
Absolutely Mick, the stories like Ingrid’s should be front-page news.
Thanks Ingrid for your blog, and I can totally relate to your statement “My studies with Uni Med and esoteric healing sessions have enriched my life immensely”
An amazing post Ingrid that shows Serge Benhayon is not anti-medicine, that he truly cares through his support which provides sessions, accommodation and meals for minimal or no charge at all and that he does not tell others what to do, but to feel for themselves what is right for them. This is a far cry from the allegations against him. Thank you for sharing the real story, as told by people like you, who have experienced the extraordinary care for humanity that Serge Benhayon provides.
My experience of Serge Benhayon is the same – ‘he never tells us what to do and that we have to feel what’s true for ourselves.’ This is never said from a position of him avoiding any future ‘You told me to…’ comeback, but always to reinforce self-responsibility for the choices we make and to encourage us to make those choices from connecting to how it feels in the body – to our own knowing.
Thanks Ingrid for sharing your story. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I too wanted to do it “the natural way”. When I truly felt into my body, I eventually realised that it was an ideal that I was holding in my mind and it wasn’t truly where my body was at. When I got really honest, my body said “have the chemotherapy”, which in hindsight I am deeply grateful that I listened to my body. The teachings of Universal Medicine have assisted me over the years to listen and to continue to listen to my body – as it does have all of the answers. I knew this before Universal Medicine, the teachings of UM just confirmed what I already knew.
Thank you Donna this is so true for all of us. We know what is right for our bodies if only we would listen. Universal Medicine is so powerful because it reconfirms the truth that we know deep within.
It is wonderful to read when we let go of our arrogance around conventional medicine and embrace it. I always wanted to go ‘natural’ but I am learning it is a combination of the esoteric and conventional medicine for true healing to occur. Thank you for sharing your story Ingrid.
Thank you Ingrid for sharing. The medical professionals often tell people what to do about their health and we probably expect them to. I find it quite a challenge at times to feel into my body for what is right but am learning to be more connected to me. Serge’s lack of imposition is amazing and allows us to truly discern what is okay for us or not. It has also allowed you to fully trust in what the future may hold and this is what our evolution is all about.
So true Anne. It can seem quite comfortable to expect someone to tell us what is right for us to do, but even in these circumstances when we can still discern what is true for us and what is not.
Yes this is true Anne. When there is no imposition we can truly feel what is okay for us and we can trust in our own evolution.
Thank you Ingrid for showing the benefits of combining the healing of conventional medicine, esoteric medicine and the commitment of the patient to be an integral part of that healing.
How incredible that you could stay free of charge at UniMed house and be taken care of. The service to humanity Universal Medicine has bought through is simply awe inspiring.
Well said Tracy. This level of care and support is unheard of in the world.
Agreed Ingrid, the total dedication to absolute care of a person and their healing is the philosophy of Universal Medicine that is lived by Serge Benhayon and so many of its practitioners and students. Your story is living proof of this.
“With the support of UM I rarely suffer or worry anymore but am learning to love myself and my fellow human beings. I feel this is a much better contribution to human life than being a victim, suffering, miserable, worried and depressed, all of which I used to be.”
The support of UM is amazing. The most amazing aspect of it is that it does not take responsibility for one’s life, but constantly support’s one to do that for oneself, to develop self-empowerment and then one becomes part of UM to further support others to do the same.
Ingrid I really enjoyed reading your story and it made me consider why do so many people have an aversion to medicine, perhaps because we know we need to do our part as well – something that Universal Medicine have been lovingly presenting. Therefore I can appreciate that with the will to take care and heal the root issues there is not so much pressure put on western medicine and as a result together they work hand in hand.
A lovely story of true healing. Supporting your medical treatment with complementary therapies is the future of true medical care. Thank you for sharing this Ingrid.
Thank you for sharing your story, Ingrid. It is beautiful to hear how you chose to support yourself, as well as the support you received. It sounds like Universal Medicine plus conventional medicine is a marriage made in Heaven.
Thank you Ingrid for sharing the true love and support you received form Serge Benhayon and Universal Practitioners and the medicine you now chose for yourself.
Lovely sharing Ingrid. I too have been very much into alternative medicines as it always looked to me like conventional medicine wasn’t doing a very good job. Also through Universal Medicine I have discovered that conventional medicine teamed with full responsibility in the way that I live each day is a pretty good recipe for good health and wellbeing!
Thankyou Ingrid for sharing your story, I can only say like you I held the Medical profession at arms length. Through support from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, I am now aware of the most amazing part that Western Medicine plays in true healing.
I was amazed and in awe of how such a strong belief was able to be broken down and receive the medical support from western medicine along side the modalities that Serge Benhayon and Universal medicine provide, this loving support comes from a community that deeply cares for all people regardless
Dear Ingrid, thank you for such a beautiful open and honest blog. Many thanks to Serge and the Esoteric Practitioners for their unimposing loving care, thereby supporting us to come to our own truth in our own time.
Thank you Ingrid for sharing your experience I feel so many people would really benefit from reading this article.
What a beautiful blog you have shared Ingrid, from being wary of Conventional Medicine to trusting the cancer treatment being offered to you. With the love and true care from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine Practitioners you were able to make choices that were truly supportive for you.
I laughed at your comment that sometimes you wished Serge would tell you what to do…me too! But as you said he never does, but so beautifully supports with words of wisdom that allow you to connect deeper and feel the truth from within. A true gift to receive.
Ingrid what a truly beautifully expressed account of your experience of breast cancer, Universal Medicine and your aversion to conventional medicine. Your over all view sounds so much more balanced and open to trust now. A very healing blog, thank you.
Beautiful blog Ingrid. New age and alternative therapies seem to give the aura that they are a ‘healthier’ option or somehow more ‘healing’ for consumers. There are also those who believe such therapies are a substitute or better than, and thus make them an alternative and not complementary to conventional medicine. I feel these beliefs are incorrect and the support conventional medicine offers humanity right now should not be underestimated. In fact it should be appreciated. Universal Medicine is very pro conventional medicine, which in my eyes makes it truly complementary and immensely valuable in supporting the human body as a unique and whole being.
I agree Suse, there is a beauty in bringing together both medicines and allowing them to each play their part in our healing.
I would like to see more support for chemo and cancer patients like this as many people don’t have support networks to call upon in these times.
One of the biggest effects in medicine is the placebo effect, and it seems to be at least in part to do with the attitude of the patient. The better more healthy the attitude, the stronger the healing. Conventional medicine has yet to be replaced by something better, despite the many modalities that are out there, so rejecting it does not make sense, and may even cause harm.
One of the surprises of Universal Medicine is how strongly it supports conventional medicine. A simple reason may be that conventional medicine works, and with a good attitude works a lot better. Therefore if the welfare of your clients is important to you it makes eminent sense to be positive towards conventional medicine.
Beautiful sharing Ingrid thank you. It is so inspiring hearing about the support and love of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine combined with conventional medicine and love of ourselves. We are so blessed with the full support out there to heal ourselves if we choose it.
Thank you for writing Ingrid and sharing your story. It’s true that conventional medicine can bring us so much, but with the combined support of Universal Medicine we get the whole package.
This is the second time reading this blog and I have found it very inspiring to read how you now see things differently with regards to conventional medicine and your own healing. I am sure anyone who is suffering with breast cancer or any cancer for that matter, will benefit from reading about your experience. Thank you Ingrid for sharing.
Thank you Ingrid for sharing your journey with cancer and how you changed from being so anti conventional medicine and how Universal Medicine has supported you to embrace the medical support that is available as well as the amazing support from Serge and the Universal Medicine team. It is so inspiring to read how you have transformed your life and ‘With the support of UM I rarely suffer or worry anymore but am learning to love myself and my fellow human beings. I feel this is a much better contribution to human life than being a victim, suffering, miserable, worried and depressed, all of which I used to be.’ An incredible testament to what is possible if we choose to heal ourselves and accept the love and support that is available to all equally from Universal Medicine.
This is a great example of how both conventional and Universal Medicine can work together to bring a true and lasting healing.
Thank you, Ingrid for sharing what clearly supported you through the use of conventional medicine. It shows how the love of Serge Benhayon and all Universal Medicine practitioners can make a difference during the treatment of illness and disease. An inspiration for many!
Its inspiring Ingrid to know the level of support that is actually there for us all, the combination of western medicine with esoteric healing and the support of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon actually there is nothing more you could ask for. Thank you for sharing how this supported you in your journey.
It’s so valuable to read your first hand experience of how the combination of conventional medicine and Universal Medicine has truly served you. It can be pretty misleading when the head leads us up a rabbit hole, until we really feel what’s going on. The active part we can take in our own healing is so important.
Great sharing Ingrid. Your account is fantastic evidence on what Universal Medicine is really about. It recommends you go to the doctor and follow the doctors advice and it never tells you what to do, but supports you lovingly regardless. Your expression “With the support of UM I rarely suffer or worry anymore but am learning to love myself and my fellow human beings. I feel this is a much better contribution to human life than being a victim, suffering, miserable, worried and depressed, all of which I used to be.” for me sums up what Universal Medicine is offering us.
Hi Ingrid, I have attended Universal Medicine presentations and have been inspired by Serge Benhayon to be more responsible for my health, and to feel that I can go to conventional medicine for support when needed, that it is a necessary part of taking care of myself.
Thank you for sharing this with us Ingrid. Conventional medicine can offer us treatment when things go wrong but the love and support of Esoteric Medicine shows us how we can be part of the healing of our own body by looking at why we have developed an illness or disease.
Thank you for sharing your story Ingrid, what a turn a round you have had in your life and such a wonderful experience of support, it is so lovely to read. I can very much vouch that as you say Serge “often stresses this in his presentations too, that he never tells us what to do and that we have to feel what’s true for ourselves.”. I like you wish sometimes I could just be told what to do when I am unsure but then making the choices for ourselves is all part of our evolving : )
Thank you for sharing this Ingrid. This shows the level of true love and support Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine offer.
Hi Ingrid, it sounds like you truly had the best of both worlds, with support from the medical profession, Universal Medicine and the students of UM. This is lovely to hear as it is rare to have the level of support you have described, unless it is given by close family members. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is showing us the way true support can assist with illness and dying.
What a special story Ingrid and a great example of what Universal Medicine is all about. What other organisation would offer you accommodation, nurturing food and caring loving treatments all free of charge. Awesome!!
Ingrid, When I first met Serge through a diagnosis of cancer, I was surprised at how supportive of conventional medicine he is…plus how supportive he is of me knowing that I actually do know for myself.
This continuing and continual support from him, the Universal Medicine and fellow students has given me the opportunity to rediscover parts of me I had long forgotten and begin to realise that yes that when I really stop and listen to myself, actually I do know.
Thank you Ingrid, amazing to hear how Universal Medicine and esoteric healing sessions have enriched your life, proving that esoteric healing and western medicine work wonders when used in conjunction with each other.
A beautiful sharing of your medical journey with breast cancer, and the true support you received from Serge Benhayon and Esoteric Medicine. A truly inspiring story, thank you Ingrid
I am always very touched by the generosity, love and support Universal Medicine has shown people and here I find another example of this through the sharing your experience, thank you.
Thank you for sharing your experiences Ingrid. It shows the strength of conventional medicine working in harmony with Universal Medicine and taking personal responsibility for ourselves in choosing what feels right for us.
Yes, the power of conventional medicine combined with Universal Medicine is a heavenly combination, and if we add our own responsibility to take care of ourselves then we have the way forth.
Agree Mary. Before I heard Serge present I was very anti conventional medicine, preferring to trust in alternative healing modalities. However I now have a new-found respect for conventional medicine but it does not have the whole answer at this point in time. Hence why I now use the ‘strength of conventional medicine working in harmony with Universal Medicine’ modalities which are complementary. I also take full responsibility for choosing what feels right for me in any situation.
It is amazing to read your story, from a life lived in fear of conventual medicine, to building a level of trust with the support of Universal Medicine, so you can help the body in its healing. The support you describe sounds amazing, and the conventional and complementary seem they they go hand in hand.
Thank you Ingrid for sharing this. Your openness to healing and supporting others in their own healing is clearly evident.
Fantastic Ingrid, thank you for sharing I am touched by your words. I love that as students of universal medicine we are encouraged to feel what is right for us and to trust that feeling by letter go of old beliefs and misconceptions that are detrimental. It is truly awesome the level of support you received.
I agree Samantha and as Ingrid has said Serge Benhayon never tells anyone what to do and neither do Universal Medicine practitioners. To be honest choices and decisions are much more empowering when we feel what is true for us, rather than going with what another tells us to do. This is what Universal Medicine is about – at every step – supporting another to seek their own truth.
Beautifully expressed Shevon.
The blog is yet more evidence of what this whole blog-site is about – that the marriage of Western Medicine and Esoteric Medicine is the greatest union that will serve humanity.
Thank you for sharing this Ingrid. It is a true testament to the absolute love, support and generosity of Serge Benhayon, his family and the Universal Medicine practitioners.
It’s so lovely of you to share your story Ingrid, and is an inspiration to others who are struggling along the same journey. As Rod says, you have truly summed up the principles of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon, to support us all on our journeys.
I agree Gill, this article is an inspiration to others who are struggling with serious illness or disease. Conventional medicine and the teachings of Universal Medicine come together in offering a true healing.
Thank you Ingrid, great blog. A perfect example of what Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine stand for.
Lovely Blog showing the true brotherhood expressed by Serge and Universal Medicine
Thank you Ingrid – you have stated so clearly all the Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon stand for – Truth and a great reflection for us all to live by if we choose to.
Six, seven years ago my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after she had immigrated to UK as a result of various wars in former Yugoslavia. She was in her seventies and not a word of English. This meant that I was with her the entire time, from diagnosis, through decision making, surgeries etc. It was a traumatic and sad experience for her and the entire family. However, there was some beauty about this event afterwards. When I got involved with Universal Medicine and it’s teachings it gave me an opportunity to reflect back to her the way I began to live which was much more nurturing and nourishing – all thanks to great wisdom and sharing of Serge Benhayon. My mum very much noticed this and I remember one day she was lying in her bed, her expression revealed she was engaged in reminiscing… She said: “My, oh, my, what miserable life I have led and how unloving I have been to myself.”
This was a huge statement/admission for my mother to make. She has been very hard on herself all her life.I remind her gently that she now knows the choices she made were not self-loving and they most likely contributed to her illness, however she now has an opportunity to make different, more self-loving choices for the rest of this life and next time around although this is a concept she doesn’t easily entertain. She once asked me if I really thought we come back. I said that I could feel that I will return, though I understand if she doesn’t feel the same way.
Dragona this is so beautiful. I can feel the absolute tenderness of you with your mum. What a blessing for her to have you there and for us all that you have shared this time with us too. Thank you.
Thank you, Ingrid. This is a lovely account of your experience. WIth love, Anne.
Thank you Ingrid…within eight paragraphs you have been able to sum up what Universal Medicine truly stands for.
