I understand that certain allegations have been made about Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine (UniMed), 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 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, they might then ask themselves how they were living so that they needed coffee to get through their day. They might make better choices to improve their energy. I appreciated his reasoning. He also spoke about the rising numbers 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. He told me that he was willing to see me throughout my cancer treatment and that other cancer patients who came to him usually did very well with their treatment.
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.
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 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. This accommodation and many of my sessions with Serge have actually been free of charge. 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 three weekly 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 Benhayon 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 Benhayon and other practitioners at Universal Medicine is that they first take great care of themselves. They heed the old dictum: “Physician, heal thyself”.

The Truth about Serge Benhayon 
Universal Medicine therapies work in a distinctly complementary way to Medicine, and when it comes to the treatment of Cancer this is something I have seen proven over and over. Your story here is testimony to the fact, thank you for sharing it.
So amazing to feel the deep care and support you received from Serge Benhayon during your treatment, and it is so true the esoteric healing practitioners are great role models for how we could take great care of ourselves and keep refining our choices as part of our everyday life.
Cancer can be a very serious and scary time for those with it or those within the patients life. But in this blog the sense I get is of great support, love and care and an appreciation of the two – conventional and complementary – medicines working together.
Universal Medicine is exactly what its name states – Universal. Because of this it is complementary – that means it works with conventional medicine not in place of.
The realness of this article simply begs for it to be read by every woman who contracts breast cancer. Leaving in its wake much for all to consider and possibly integrate into their own healing plan.
I have said this before on previous articles similar in nature to this one. The fact that we have actual people telling us their experience to something that has happened makes this so so clear. You know how all of us can have opinions on things, these style of articles cut through that and give you the plain and simple facts. It’s your choice to take them or leave them but what rings true is the fact that someone walking through and recording that walk is far greater then a mere opinion. We have become so use to hearing opinions that we often walk down a road or a path after reading or hearing one. Only to trip up at some point when the facts are seen or revealed. The only way to turn opinions on their head is to go to the facts, the truth of what is going on and not run off with the story.
I was also diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2011. I was also very fortunate to receive esoteric healing and esoteric acupuncture treatment which greatly reduced the side effects of my chemotherapy treatment, that I only felt tired for a day or two. It was incredible really as I had also resisted treatment for 6 weeks after I was diagnosed and had huge fear of having chemotherapy.
Universal Medicine offers the foundation of love that we can be supported to restore ourselves to true wholeness, whether we have disease, terminal illness, psychological distress or any other ‘affliction’. Remembering once more we are love, then we can take the steps back to the truth of it, and discard all that is not of that truth.
This blog says all that! It is a great testimony to how Serge Benhayon is as a practitioner . . . ” One of the most significant things to understand about Serge Benhayon and other practitioners at Universal Medicine is that they first take great care of themselves. They heed the old dictum: “Physician, heal thyself ” . . . this line is so important to note for how could Serge otherwise be with clients who need to begin to truly care for themselves as part of their healing if he did not live with this same integrity in his own life?
What a fabulous testimony to, amongst other things, the healing power of Esoteric Chakra-puncture, and esoteric medicine in general working so beautifully hand-in-glove with western medicine. There is much to be embraced here.
When we truly understand that we are just vessels of energy and that our bodies do reflect to us at any moment if we align to the original energy we come from or not we know how to heal our bodies by choosing for love, over and over again.
Judith’s story continues to be an inspiration. To truly heal takes a willingness to be honest with ourselves first, be ever loving and accept all the support that is offered.
The best medicine is being who we are and expressing this in full, unreservedly so. Of course, western medicine and natural medicines all have their very significant place in the world – but our responsibility and opportunity is to live medicine in every moment of every day by how we are with ourselves and what we choose.
What Judith shares is gorgeous, when we are open to love all that we need is provided
Judith, thank you for this thorough account of your experience with western and Universal Medicine. I would like to add my testimonial to this as well. I recently had day surgery and had Serge Benayon’s full support through the process. I want to add that through the presentations of Universal Medicine, I have also learned to nurture myself much more, which supported me greatly through a strange, uncomfortable and at times unsettling experience of surgery.
Putting others first and taking care of another needs before our own is almost second nature to many women, much to our own detriment. One of the things I have learned from Universal Medicine is to listen to what my body shows me, as it is the marker of all the truth, so if I go into the ideal of placing others before me then my body really communicates the falsity of this behaviour by showing me how exhausted it is. Life can be confusing at times but if we keep it simple and honour the truth the body communicates a new clarity can emerge.
It is through the teaching of Universal Medicine, I started to embrace conventional medicine again after totally being against it for a long time. It really just exposed the lack of responsibility on my part and how much I was relying on the second hand information to make up my mind about things. I have been aware that even though we could be choosing ‘alternative’ medicine, the way we approach it could just be the same ‘fix me’ and it actually is far worse because there’s this consciousness that puts itself above what the majority accepts, and thinks it is superior by being different. So glad those days are over now.
This is a great story, both from a western medicine side and complimentary side, showing they do work well together and at times are necessary. It also shows, how true support and loving care can help restore our bodies to a more natural balance and faster healing, and from experience, what Serge Benhayon offers and presents, is truly universal and the key to our way back to living healthily and joyfully.
This blog is inspirational in so many ways, the support Judith received from Serge and Universal Medicine is brotherhood in action.
This is such a sweetly sincere and gentle piece about the support and care that Universal Medicine gives, a care that surpasses any other healing clinic or organisation that I know of and part of this great care is in the fact of how supportive they are of conventional medical practises because often I have found that if a modality is in opposition to these practises it can leave a person feeling disempowered and at a loss when serious medical conditions take place in the body because if you cannot turn to your doctor in times of need then where do you go? The answer for many of the alternative practitioners that I have met would be to say that you would come to them or to their modality which sits outside of the conventional medical world, but these modalities in my experience are limited and unable to support a person through the more serious and vigorous challenges of some of the more major medical conditions such as cancer because they are by their very nature forever in opposition to conventional medicine which is dearly needed at these times.
What a beautiful sharing of how when you take responsibility for why an illness presents in the body, then marry that with the amazing Esoteric Modalities that can support one through such things like surgery and effects of cancer, miracles can really happen.
Sure Raegan, we can change the way illnesses and diseases are treated as we bring the complementary Universal Medicine modalities in. These modalities show that we have a relationship with that illness or disease because of our choices in life and in becoming aware of these we are able to heal on a much deeper level, and as you say, then miracles can happen..
The combination of traditional western medicine and Esoteric Healing Modalities offers greater support than just the western medicine. Esoteric Medicine offers insights, understanding and an energetic awareness of the basis of the illness. It in no way detracts from the important work of western medicine.
Combining western medicine and esoteric medicine is the way forth.
In fact this blog shows clearly that it is all about light, to restore the light we are from within. The lack of connection with this light is the root cause of any illness or disease that is presented by our body. In fact presents itself to restore that natural order it belongs to. If we do understand this then we know what to do, to let the western medicine to provide the cure for the symptoms that are being presented and to have the complementary treatments from Universal Medicine to support in the restoration of the inner light connection.
“One of the most significant things to understand about Serge Benhayon and other practitioners at Universal Medicine is that they first take great care of themselves. They heed the old dictum: “Physician, heal thyself”.This is just what I needed to hear tonight a great reminder to me as just lately I have pushed myself and I can feel this has effected my outlook and therefore how I am with others, so important to deeply love and care for ourselves.
This blog brings to the fore how much love and care we deserve in any circumstance, how much love and care our bodies are deserving in every moment.
Coming back to this blog is a beautiful reminder that we cannot heal others before we heal ourselves. Taking care of ourselves first, learning how to rest deeply and give ourselves all the time and support that we need, is our number one job, so that we can be of service to others and the world.
This is what I love about Serge Benhayon he always embraces and promotes Western Medicine alongside Esoteric Healing and how they compliment each other and allow the body an opportunity to truly heal. Thank you Judith your blog is a beautiful testimony to the true care and love Serge Benhayon consistently shares with humanity.
To me this really shows how life is not about being comfortable but about healing fully and truly. We might not want chemo or radiotherapy and this is important to acknowledge this but this blog shows it is not about that alone.
I was drawn to re read this blog after watching the video interview with Judith 4 weeks before she passed over. I was so touched by the woman that she is, I just had to come back for more. I was asked to visit her by my Mum during her last weeks on earth, my Mum was one of the many careers during her treatment but at the time I did not see the point in going to see a woman I had never met. Now I feel deeply sad that I did not meet this woman, she is pure joy right until her final breath, she is an inspiration, the blogs she left behind for me are little bits of history.
It’s very beautiful to see the support that is available when someone is going through such a difficult period in their life. Seeking support can be a challenge for some and learning to let go of our harmful ways of living is also difficult. This is what the esoteric modalities and esoteric practitioners bring, to support people to live the best they can so they can let these harmful ways go.
This is deeply profound, and inspiring to feel it is our commitment to healing that supports the medical treatment.
This is a gorgeous testimony of how esoteric healing modalities work hand in hand with western medicine and that in instances of serious illness, neither one is complete on its own.
I gave my Mum a treatment after every chemo session while she was being treated for cancer – the two worked beautifully together, one supporting the other providing her with the very best of both worlds.
How important is it that we combine conventional and esoteric medicine together to ensure healing and evolution.
Such a great account of what it means to truly take responsibility for ones illness, to feel the depths of what is there to learn from it and embrace all that comes with the disease.
“Physician, heal thyself” This quote sums up how in healing we need to take responsibility for our role that we’ve played to get to the point when an illness is presented in our body. Modern medicine working side by side with Esoteric medicine allows the practitioner to treat the whole body and take into account not just the physical body but our bodies as a whole, to facilitate true healing.
A really extraordinary read that emanates the truly holding care offered by Serge… and the deeply embracing support of the Universal Medicine modalities during this time. This is a remarkable counter to those who are not prepared to report the truth and who’s false allegations sadly aim to deter others from being incredibly supported as you have been by such complimentary treatment and care.
I have attended presentations from Serge for almost 6 years now and my experience is that he is always supportive of conventional medicine and the modalities he teaches are complementary to it. More so, what is shared in Judith’s blog, says so much about Serge and his loving approach to health and wellbeing – something he lives, walks and breathes everyday and expresses with everything he is. To me, Serge is the embodiment of a truly loving way of living and offers himself as a reflection of this for everyone who he meets and ‘touches’ in life.
This is a true and honest sharing of what the union of conventional and complementary medicine can do. In all – there is so much more than simply a cure. If we are willing to look deeper, at our choices we will most likely find that a lot of healing can take place from our part – from the way we live – and that complimentary medicine can really support conventional medicine in so many ways.
It is great to know that Chakra-puncture and other Esoteric Therapies are such a supportive complementary treatment to surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.
We all respond well to a compliment – by definition it adds to what we experience… so naturally Serge and Universal Medicine look to compliment the amazing procedures and medicines that are available through Western Medicine. It would be churlish to ignore everything that is available.
This is an inspiring and confirming read as to all Universal Medicine offers when it comes to any illness or disease. I agree with all Judith has shared and the support I received through breast cancer meant I could fully embrace all conventional medicine had to offer and come out singing their praises. This was monumentary for me as the 20 years prior to this I was very very anti any conventional health professionals and used every alternative therapy available. It was Universal Medicine that helped me see the only way to truly heal our body is through the combination of conventional and Esoteric Medicine.
Wow what an amazing blog – I love especially Judiths honesty as that is really inspiring for me.
The grace the Judith lived in her last months was inspirational, while her body had cancer, the light of her being was shining ever bright.
Judith’s article so beautifully speaks for itself. When we are open to receive we are given all that will truly support us. What a blessing for Judith to walk into the tent that day and meet Serge Benhayon.
Clearly, Judith’s story highlights how an individual can take their health into they owns hands while also emphasising the support and love others can provide.
What stands out as different to me about the way in which Unimed handles the care of cancer patients is there is no push for a cure or to fix or replace any other medical treatments. The care offered by Unimed to people suffering from cancer is set in place to make the experience as healing and supportive as possible. I am a big fan of modern medicine and amazing surgeon’s but a hospital experience can still lack a depth of warmth and extra special care that you crave at this scary time. Unimed provides a ultra nurturing support to anyone that comes and seeks support and all of this for little or no cost.
I so agree Sarah. I recently had day surgergy and was held in the nurturing support of Serge Benhayon and now what I have learnt to bring myself, which did bring that extra special care that you do need as it is a bit scary.
Judith’s story is testament to the fact that Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine modalities are a great complement to conventional medicine – not a replacement – but a way of providing support and healing.
Inspiring blog. The combination of western medicine and esoteric medicine is so powerful. I too have experienced both together and doctors have been surprised at how speedily I healed.
The beauty of Esoteric Healing is that it comes with you where ever you may be. It is the light of your soul expressing what is needed for that situation, and whether that be with a certain modality or just because you walked in to the room, you are always able to heal when you are with the soul.
Universal Medicine modalities work so well alongside conventional treatments. Since recent surgery myself and also receiving esoteric therapies I have made a great and speedy recovery, to the surprise of my doctors, who suggest to keep on doing what I have been doing.
The support of Universal Medicine is there for anyone who wishes to have it, it is essentially complementary to modern medicine. In fact the two work very well together in healing the crises of illness and disease that the modern person has to face each day.
It is a poignant fact that in order to be of service to another person, we must first take care of ourselves, with the consequences of not doing so leaving us exhausted and open to the deepest onset of illness and disease.
I agree Judith, having experienced the workings of esoteric healing and conventional medicine for the health problems I have had, having the two together in the treatment of any medical conditions is a truly very holistic approach.
Judith’s story shows just how supportive the marriage of esoteric healing modalities and conventional medicine can be. It is crystal clear that Serge Benhayon supported her to choose treatments that would allow healing to take place. I have seen a video of Judith that was filmed before her death and it showed a woman beaming with joy and confidence despite her frail physical state. This is true health to me.
It is not surprising that the people closest to Judith were so inspired by her. I didn’t know Judith well yet she inspired me immensely and showed me that there was nothing to fear in death. Thank you for sharing your experience A Friend.
The complimentary support to conventional medicine offered by Universal Medicines practitioners is outstanding with incredible results.
Yes this is my experience too Katie, all my study in natural therapies was tainted with an anti medicine stance. Medical intervention was not only a sign of having ‘failed’ in some way, but was deemed to be highly toxic, suppressive and invasive. So much was overshadowed by this attitude that what was true and worthwhile in the medical system was relegated to being non-existent. Through the influence and education l’ve had through Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon, that attitude has completely turned around. You are spot on Katie, it is the only complementary health organisation I know that truly works alongside medicine and not as an ‘alternative’ to it.
Exactly. A marriage made in heaven.
Judith, So beautiful that you were open to hearing the truth and you surrendered to the healing that was available to you. Inspirational.
I agree Shirley. I too have experienced breast cancer recently – am now all clear. The amazing support from Serge Benhayon and all Universal Medicine practitioners and students has been wonderful. Students visited me nearly every day for 2 weeks, bringing me food and giving me treatment sessions. I now look really well and determine not to return to my old ‘normal’ life of rushing around ‘doing’ but reclaiming me. It seems so many women who are diagnosed can’t wait to return to their normal life, yet I feel it is those same lifestyle choices that may predispose them to breast cancer. Judith’s article is indeed a great testimonial to the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
This is a clear and powerful example of how complementary and conventional medicine can work in harmony to truly support us.
This is a beautiful sharing. The combination of conventional medicine and complementary medicine is proving to be of great support – our personal responsibility is to bring as much loving tenderness as we can to ourselves throughout the healing process.
It has been my experience of one hundred percent support a thousand times over from Serge through operations, illnesses, accidents … every single time he has been there to help when needed..and often at no charge. At all times encouraging me to continue the path of western medicine, which I had previously been deeply distrustful of, he supported me in all other ways so that the operations could be of maximum benefit. I sailed through major abdominal surgery feeling amazing, not even needing painkillers from the morning after (nothing stoic, I am a wimp when it comes to pain!). There is never a wavering in the consistency of support from Serge and the other practitioners of Universal Medicine and one only has to check this out for oneself to confirm the truth of this.
This very touching blog beautifully written by Judith, shows western medicine and esoteric healing modalities working together to support a person through a very difficult time. This great testimony shows Serge Benhayon is absolutely pro conventional medicine, and leaves his integrity and total professionalism in no doubt.
Hear hear Rosemary, a very accurate testimony what many of us know already. Serge Benhayon has always said the esoteric healing modality are supportive of western medicine which in a lot of cases is essential to a patients recovery as well.
And to suggest Serge Benhayon has behaved in any way other than Love is just ludicrous.
Too often people tend to commit to either using conventional medicine only or complementary and alternative medicine exclusively. In the past I went the route of only using alternative medicine practices after witnessing what I felt were poor medical practices by conventional doctors. However, after learning about Universal Medicine and how it’s healing methods work so beautifully in conjunction with, and as a support of conventional methods my feeling is that there is no need for arrogance or decision making based on a few experiences (to stop conventional practices altogether) as everyone usually has good intentions to heal people and are merely practicing what they have been taught. We need to stay open to working together across any ‘borders’ of medicine categories, always with the focus on connecting with each other and truly meeting the needs of the patient without any competition between modalities.
We as a society are absolutely blessed by what conventional medicine can offer and this coupled with the true blessing that esoteric healing can bring as a support is just heavenly.
A deeply, beautiful piece to read. Going from fear to love and receiving the support from Serge Benhayon says so much about the man. How deeply and utterly he loves humanity. I have also been through major surgery and felt the ongoing emotional and physical care and profound wellbeing sessions from Serge. Its times like this that I am reminded how much love there is for us. I can feel the pulse of Life and the Universe, and in that moment I just KNOW that all is as it should be… no fear, just an understanding that I am FULLY supported and utterly loved.
Yes me too Vanessa. A line that particularly struck me was ‘ This completely contradicts my experience as a cancer patient’ when Judith was addressing the allegations against Serge Benhayon. And this struck me because it is the truth being spoken from a client who has had direct contact with Serge Benhayon regarding medical treatment and his support of it as opposed to a pack of lies being spoken about someone who has not had direct experience with Serge nor has any evidence from someone who has. And who do the media believe?????? The liar and not the true story. It’s not on.
It’s totally amazing that an organisation would support a client with healing sessions and accommodation at no charge, while undergoing any kind of medical treatment. This is only just a small part of the unending support and love from Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon.
This blog beautifully shows how conventional medicine and the esoteric healing modalities can work together to support the person. In this way we can see that esoteric healing is complementary to conventional medicine.
A fantastic testimony to what is possible when you combine conventional medicine with esoteric healing modalities, and a willingness to look at and consider what is truly supportive.
Yes, when both medical care and Universal Medicine therapies are combined, the patient is indeed very fortunate. Judith McIntyre’s clarity and palpable humanness in her writing is inspirational. With Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon leads the way with bringing the best of what medicine offers and the very best of what complementary healthcare can truly offer.
Very beautiful to read Judith. Your account makes me see how cancer can be treated without the usual fear and anxiety. From your account I only feel a deep rest and stillness and you being at complete ease with the disease and treatment. I can see how truly supportive Serge Benhayon has been in this process. The way you have been with the treatments of your disease is truly inspiring, thank you for sharing.
Lieke what you have raised here is so important. Very few patients are at ease with cancer based treatments, and understandably so. These levels of fear and anxiety do effect a patients wellbeing significantly and in working with Serge Benhayon Judith was able to move through her treatments with ease.
I remember watching her towards the end of her life and could feel how much joy she was emanating. Truly an inspiration for us all.
It is so true how conventional medicine and esoteric medicine work so well together. Esoteric medicine aids the healing and gives the body time to deeply heal, and as we look after ourselves we also learn that eating the right foods also influences our recovery along with deep rest too. I have used both recently and my recovery was faster and deeper, than if I had left it just to conventional medicine.
I agree Sally I can see more and more how essential it is to marry both Conventional Medicine and Complementary Medicine in order to get a truly holistic result. Over the past 3-4 years it has been encouraging to see GPs, specialists and practitioners opening their hearts to the marriage between the two. I am inspired as to where this relationship can take humanity in years to come.
Judith’s story is so healing and inspiring for many reasons. I’ve also spent a good deal of my life putting others first, this is such a stop moment for me reading this blog again to feel the possible consequences of living against my own body because of my beliefs and ideals. It was exhausting me but I was not listening to my body because of my emotional reactions, ideals and beliefs. My role came before the effect on my body, but the body really must come first. The body is such a source of truth about what truly is or is not loving in how we live.
This quote puts it perfectly ” 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.”
A great testimony to the truth about Serge Benhayon and how he is in fact pro medicine and how he and Esoteric Medicine are a powerful partner to conventional medicine.
It doesn’t surprise me to read how immensly caring and supporting Serge Benhayon has been in assisting you.
Always in regard for the healing of his client, whatever Serge says or advises has no self in it.
Prior to meeting Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I was complimentary therapist and it was with great surprise to hear Serge extol the virtues of Western Medicine. Until then the majority of my fellow practitioners and clients viewed it practically as ‘the enemy’. I have now come to appreciate all that Western Medicine has to offer and the combination with Universal Medicine, as presented by Serge Benhayon, is the best medicine of all.
This is the most beautiful blog, deeply healing and honouring to read, and full of so much love. When I read it I also feel the absolute love, responsibility and deep care that Serge Benhayon holds us all in equally. There is not one ounce of Serge that is not in service to all of humanity, and I mean everyone, everywhere. He shows and lives the upmost respect for Western Medicine, which is so clear when reading this blog. His loves shines through.
Amazing Judith, showing how loving Serge’s approach is and that its all about love and care. This is simply what he presents. Taking responsibility for all our choices in life, good or bad is part of self-love in addition to the physical medical treatments like surgery etc.
I also easily relate Judith to not wanting to have the chemo therapy because of the known side effects and what quality of life would I have… only later did I realise the absurdity of that thought, for the question was; what was the quality of my life that I had been living that brought me the diagnosis of breast cancer in the first place? Ah, that was a more honest approach and one that resulted in me making many new life style choices at that time with regards to: diet, sleep, receiving support/counselling for my suppressed emotions that erupted with the diagnosis. I had such a positive experience with my breast cancer journey because I combined my medical treatment with complementary esoteric healing. Yes, I was fortunate and blessed for all the support I received from this powerful combination.
This has shown Serge Benhayon’s respect for conventional medicine, along with the deep and very true support you received from him and Universal Medicine during this delicate time of your life. Very inspiring.
Judith as illustrated by your testimonial, Chakra-puncture is truly complementary to Conventional Medicine and was clearly very supportive of you during your healing process. Thank you for such a beautiful and honest sharing.
A beautiful blog of a journey that could have been horrendous. By choosing to receive support from the Medical profession, Serge Benhayon and Esoteric Practitioners and a willingness to feel what was right for her, Judith was able to heal herself and move on in grace and love. An inspirational story and an inspirational woman.
It’s such a simple truth to live in a way that heals, yet we are so far away from that in our modern day society. Most things about the way we live are far from healing us; in fact many are very obviously harming us. The support, care and love shown here are very much needed.
More evidence of the true love and care shared by universal medicine, in full support of modern medicine. From this article it’s possible to feel how needed Esoteric Healing modalities are and that everyone should have the voice and free will to choose.
This is proof of the fact that we must care for ourselves first before we can care for another. The end results are miraculous.
Beautiful comment Sally. I am learning that my own self care is what others gain the most benefit from.
So true Sally, and as I explore this and live it I come to new understandings daily of what self care looks like and feels like.
So true Sally self-care absolutely our responsibility. The way we live is our reflection to the world.
I can testify to what the physiotherapist told you. I had 5 months of chemo (every week, with small breaks inbetween) and 5 months of Esoteric Charka Puncture, which saw me sail through all my chemo, which was truly remarkable as I had so much resistance to having chemo for all the side effects that are well known. I had none. Yes I was tired a lot so I took a lot of rest. Having chemotherapy turned out to be a completely different experience than I had imagined as a result of giving myself the support of Esoteric Chakra Puncture.
A beautiful testimony of how conventional and Esoteric Medicine compliment each other in order to bring a true healing. Great that you shared this jacqmcfadden, your comment will be a support to others who are in a similiar position to the one you have been through.
Wow Jacmcfadden04 – “I had none” when you refer to side effects of chemo – that is truly remarkable.
This is a very inspiring article of how Esoteric Medicine, conventional medicine and self care come together to support healing. The love that Judith has for Serge Benhayon is deeply felt here.
This blog illustrates very clearly how the modalities offered by Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon complement conventional medicine. There is no clash, they both have their place and purpose. This blog feels so great to read it is a pleasure to share in this honest, heart felt expression of the experiences that you have lived.
Thank you Judith and Samantha, I agree Serge Benhayon has always stated that Universal Medicine is Complementary to Conventional Medicine. How amazing is Serge Benhayon – he already has the busiest schedule in the world yet he gives freely of his time to be there for people who need help with an illness.
Thank you Judith for relating your journey through breast cancer and the complementarity of esoteric and conventional medicine. This is an inspiring blog.
Thanks for a beautiful article Judith. It was inspiring to read how you came to see the cancer as something from which to learn and heal from rather than something to fight. The level of support you received from Serge Benhayon and the practitioners at Universal Medicine sounds amazing.
I agree Peter the choice to view cancer in this way allows one to truly embrace the healing it is offering
Doesn’t it Peter, simply amazing.
This is a beautiful and a what a beautiful recovery that Judith made. It’s so inspiring to hear that someone was supported like she was. She is an example of how conventional medicine combined with esoteric healing can make a huge difference in someones life.
This is an amazing testimonial of the place Esoteric Chakra-puncture has with conventional medicine treatments. I too have found chakra-puncture invaluable at times of illness, in helping me recover with more ease but also to make the necessary changes to permanently correct the energy that led to the illness in the first place. Esoteric Chakra-puncture is a very valuable modality that can be supportive for everyone.
This is a beautiful testimony Judith, of how western medicine and the complimentary medicine as provide by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine do work together in curing and healing of the cancer. It is inspirational to read how you have changed your ideas about the treatments offered, from unwilling to undergo them to understanding and accepting these as a loving support in your healing process.
A model upon which all cancer could be faced, not as a fight or a battle but with a deepening level of care supported by dedicated and caring doctors and practitioners from conventional and esoteric medicine. Anyone reading this account would I am sure get a different perspective on facing cancer. Your experience is a far cry from the headlines that Serge Benhayon claims to heal cancer, this was clearly not the case with you but it looked like the sessions you received at the Universal Medicine clinic were a huge support, Judith, thanks for your writing.
This is a beautiful account of the way Universal Medicine Therapies can complement conventional medicine. I can feel the deep nurturing quality in the words.
What an extraordinary support!!! Cancer treatment can be something extremely aggressive. It is not hard to grasp the feeling of deep rest that comes from the words of Judith. What an amazing difference with other people I have met going through cancer treatment.
In this simple and beautifully honest blog, it is obvious that the what the media has presented is pure fabrication. I have heard Serge Benhayon describe Western Medicine & Esoteric Healing as a marriage made in heaven.
“I have heard Serge Benhayon describe Western Medicine & Esoteric Healing as a marriage made in heaven.” Absolutely Carmin I have heard serge Benhayon say that too and I have experienced it to be true for myself after a serious operation I accessed both Western Medicine and Esoteric Healing with incredible results.
This is a beautifully written article from an extraordinary woman whose story is not only deeply inspiring but an absolute testament to the gorgeous support offered to her by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Thank you Judith, for so beautifully setting the record straight about Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Many, Many people would benefit from hearing Judith’s story. Esoteric Chakra Puncture is such a great compliment to medical treatment and especially for people undergoing chemotherapy.
I am constantly inspired by how much Serge Benhayon gives back. He is in such high demand as a practitioner that he could literally charge $1000 per session but he doesn’t. Quite simply he now works with people who are very sick or in extenuating circumstances and so often doesn’t charge a thing. A huge inspiration for me as a Esoteric Chakra Puncture practitioner.
This is a story of an amazing healing process by an amazing woman: from diagnosis of cancer and her journey to herself via the choices that she made around her surgery and the complementary treatment from Universal Medicine. An awesome woman.
There are so many examples of Universal Medicine and its practitioners encouraging the use of traditional medicine that it seems completely ridiculous that anyone would think they don’t. This blog speaks volumes about the dedication and support of Universal Medicine and their modalities, and how they go hand in hand with traditional medicine.
A powerful testimonial from Judith, who passed away some months ago now. This and other pieces she has written, say so much about the depth of support that Serge Benhayon, in particular, and Universal Medicine, offered Judith both during her extensive surgeries and treatments for her cancer from medical profession. Clearly she embraced all that was offered by both complementary and allopathic medicine, her writing from near the end of her life revealing just what a tremendous transformation she underwent during this period.
Modern medicine is astounding in all that it can offer us and is absolutely essential, yet it is in the symbiosis of this together with the complementary treatments and counselling that someone such as Judith received, that one can be supported to go deeper, if they so choose, to deal with anything underlying the physical conditions presenting.
Cancer may have taken Judith’s life in the end, but the clarity and depth of love of her being that she was able to discover within herself – that must certainly be enduring, and an ‘outcome’ to be celebrated, whether one lives or passes away from an illness.
I agree, Victoria, the cancer may have taken Judith’s’ life in the end, but her love is enduring, and shines through this legacy she has left for us all.
This is an absolutely amazing article – so clear and profound and well worth reading and re-reading. The depth of love Judith expresses for Serge Benhayon is a clear reflection of the love he holds us all in.
Indeed, if we are willing to surrender and listen, cancer (or any dis-ease for that matter) can be a true healing and blessing, even the complete surrender and letting go of a body, can be a healing!
It makes sense to support all of your body and being, not just with surgery and not just with herbs or complementary healing. Most of all we need to support ourselves with love, from within ourselves and from those who can truly share it
Thanks to Judith we have a true first hand testimonial for Serge Benhayon’s attitude to modern medicine and the medical profession and, how fortunate we are that we can choose to combine modern medicine and Serge Benahyon’s methods to complement each other in our healing.
Judith wrote that her intense emotions subsided after she spoke with Serge Benhayon and the cancer chemotherapy treatment went very well. Could there be a connection?
“I hope it is obvious that Serge Benhayon 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.” Reading this blog we are blessed with the awareness of how Serge Benhayon has the utmost respect for the medicine and how both Esoteric medicine and Western Medicine work wonderfully together allowing for the patient to feel the whole story of what’s at play.
This blog is a testimony to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Such a difficult journey for anyone to have to take. The love is definitely there in Serge, for all, there is no doubt.
It is inspiring to read about the level of care Judith received and how this helped her to deal with the treatments and her cancer. A true testimony of how Estoteric Medicine and conventional medicine can work hand in hand with each other.
This blog writes absolute truth about the healthy combination of western medicine with complementary treatment. The other item of worthy note is ‘One of the most significant things to understand about Serge Benhayon and other practitioners at Universal Medicine is that they first take great care of themselves. They heed the old dictum: “Physician, heal thyself”.’ It is so true.
This blog is a true testimony to the outstanding integrity of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon’s work.
Somehow our planet feels like a save place, if I choose Love. To choose Love for me is to let my body talk. The difficult part is outside of me: all the things that ask me not to listen to my body. Maybe this is the real cult, the diffi-cult!
I love what you have shared Felix, that the difficult part is outside ourselves!
Your story and the way Judith chose to share it is super inspiring. I liked the remark the doctor made, that “you obviously heal well”. It made me consider that when we combine medical support, connection, deep understanding and love we all heal amazingly. Hearing this story, we could say the cancer is itself was part of her body healing – leading to these loving results. What is said here is testament to the combination of modern medicine and the Esoteric. Its a powerful proposition.
A truly inspiring blog and woman. The marriage of Western Medicine with the Esoteric Healing modalities and how they can work together for true healing and support. The depth and level of care and love offered from Serge Benhayon and other Universal Medicine practitioners is an inspiration to all health practitioners.
Very honestly written, showing “The Marriage of Western Medicine and Esoteric Medicine” works beautifully.
Truly inspiring to read how Western Medicine and Esoteric Healing Modalities can work together with a person who is deeply self-caring to produce the best outcome. Taking personal responsibility for past and present choices, whilst being deeply supported by various professionals in different fields, is surely the way forward in our increasingly stretched Health Services around the world.
Yes, Richard, and Judith’s blog makes it so clear how we can be more pro-active in our own health care, an awareness brought to us by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, and how we can work with Western Medicine so that the whole healing process becomes a wonderful partnership, with no division between the two or in ourselves, only the knowing from inside that we can make our own informed choices.
Such an inspiring blog – how self care can impact on our lives. Combining the best of Western Medicine with Esoteric Healing modalities alongside personal responsibility for one’s life-style choices, demonstrating how we can use illness for personal evolution.
It’s so beautiful to read your comment. How a friend experiencing the trauma of a life-threatening condition can transform your life through her example. An inspiration.
I don’t think you could have a more genuine and honest account of how Serge Benhayon has worked in co-operation with conventional medicine and has helped people like Judith come to their own conclusions about how to proceed with their health treatment based on connecting with what their body is telling them, and never dictating what to do. Judith’s story and courage in dealing with her cancer in a way that got to the foundation of it’s creation, and her willingness to be brutally honest about what lead to it, is truly remarkable and a testament for all of us. What an example she made for how to deal with illness/disease in a loving way without judgement or self-criticism, but using it as an opportunity to gain greater awareness and deep healing.
A great testament of how Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are truly complementary to and in favour of conventional medicine. Hundreds of people including myself have been encouraged, when unwell, to seek assistance from conventional medicine and also supported to gain a deeper understanding of our life as shown by our illness.
Absolutely agree Golnaz. Universal Medicine has never set out to replace conventional medicine but to work with it hand in hand.
I have experienced working with Universal Medicine practitioners in my sessions and being encouraged to go and get medical support and check ups…which I have done and I have felt a great sense of thorough care for myself whilst having continual sessions in the Esoteric Modalities. For me, it is important to take great care of ourselves on every level and looking at the way I live is key.
Thank you Judith, for sharing this real story which is profound and confirms what Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine do on a daily basis. This and thousands of other stories would be well worth the media writing about. My own story about how I was supported through my initial mis-diagnosis of a tumour as a mis-carriage, followed by major surgery is well worth a media story.
I nearly died because my blood count was so low and then after being diagnosed, I started to feel better and was hoping Serge Benhayon would agree with me that I no longer needed surgery. Instead he made it clear that he cannot ever tell me what to do or not do as the choice had to come from me – but he did support me to ask and look at why I was so against having major surgery. I waited 8 months but now looking back realised that surgery was needed and my recovery was truly remarkable, thanks to the support of Serge Benhayon and my Universal Medicine Practitioners.
It is clear that Judith & Bina and many other people have undergone incredible healing from cancer and other illnesses with the combined support of Serge Benhayon and conventional medicine.
I would like to see studies comparing these journeys with like-situations where ONLY conventional medicine is used. As there is so much to be gained for all of us in studying this and reporting on what is really going on here.
I love how this is a very straightforward matter of fact discussion about being with cancer, no pity, no blame, no battle, just honest sharing about how it is and that there is a way to be with cancer, such that you develop and deepen your connection with you and your body – there really is another way.
This is an inspirational blog showing the simplicity and benefits of combining conventional medicine with Universal Medicine.
Yes it does, a very good example of how both can work in conjunction with each other
This only goes to show the nonsense that is spoken about Serge Benhayon, his love and commitment to people comes first and is evident in all that he does. It would go against his livingness to not care truly for oneself, that includes conventional medicine. I have never heard Serge speak badly or in opposition to conventional medicine, in fact quite the opposite. All that we can ask ourselves is what choices have we made for ourselves, that have led us to the point where we need it?
Another great piece that Judith has left for us to consider and reflect on, how different cancer can be depending upon how one sees it. Is it something to fight or is it something to learn and heal from?
Absolutely, Doug, Judith used her illness to learn and heal from her past – what an inspiration she is to us!
I loved reading about your journey with both types of Medicine. It’s very clear from this that Serge and practitioners at Universal Medicine aren’t out to create some sort of ‘heal all’ modality – but rather practices that support and go side by side with conventional medicine. It was great to read how well they two work together. Thank you for sharing, Judith.
Indeed, Cheryl. I was struck by how Judith spoke about Serge’s support for her choices, and that he was not there to make them for her. We so often look to someone whom we consider to be more of an expert on ourselves to sort things out for us, especially when we are in a vulnerable situation. It’s as if we say, “I don’t know how I got here or how to get out, you tell me.” As Serge held Judith as the master of her life, he honoured that by giving her the responsibility over her healing, and he supported her. This is true healing.
Such an amazing sharing Judith. How your journey with cancer feels like an opening to be more in touch with you and not at all a battle. Truly inspirational for any cancer patient and us all. As others say this definitely should be shared.
Thank you for sharing Judith, as Susie says above – Inspirational. Truly inspirational, showing that there is another way to deal with and accept where the body is at and what is going on for it, and allow the healing to take place rather than trying to fight it. Every cancer patient, and human being!, should hear your story and be inspired – I certainly am.
Inspirational. I love the fact that instead of living her life with the mastectomy scar as proof of her struggle through cancer (as most people do), Judith claimed that it is in fact a beautiful scar, and even from reading her blog now I can feel that she did not treat cancer as a burden, but used it as an opportunity to heal and build a greater connection with her body.
Yes Susie, they were my thoughts too and I found it so refreshing to hear someone talk out their experience with cancer in this light.
This an inspirational read in showing the simplicity of how conventional medicine can be part of the healing process along with the Esoteric Healing Modalities. I too embrace the Esoteric teachings and modalities as part of my life so this also naturally complemented my treatment for breast cancer. My experience with Serge Benhayon and all the Universal Medicine practitioners was only ever in support of what my medical team were offering. There were times I wanted to (and did) reject what was advised from the doctors and during these times there was no judgement from either parties only an offering of more love and support. I love the openness and courage with which Judith expressed in this blog and it feels like a real service for other women who are or may experience breast cancer or any other ongoing illness or disease. Thank you.
It is so empowering and inspiring hearing women like you and Judith share about your experience of breast cancer and how you have supported yourself through embracing Esoteric teachings and modalities as well as conventional medicine. This breaks down fears, beliefs and myths about it all. Much appreciated. Thank you.
So true Julie, it is such an inspirational read, lovingly marrying conventional medicine with the Esoteric modalities, such a wonderful pairing and how it was relayed by Judith was truly divine.
