When my father died, at the funerals, a lot of people came to me, said, you know, without your father, I would not be here. I would not have been able to walk my daughter down the aisle. I would never have been able to play without my. With my grandchildren. I really, really felt that. I mean, those little plant extracts were changing, touching lives so beyond everything I could imagine.

You're listening to the I Am Healing Strong podcast, a part of the Healing Strong organization, the number one network of holistic cancer support groups in the world. Each week, we bring you stories of hope, real stories that will encourage you as you navigate your way on your own journey to health. Now, here's your host, stage four cancer thriver, Jim Mann.

I am excited and honored to talk to someone who is way smarter than me. Of course, it doesn't take a lot to find these people, but I've heard recently about Sylvie Belchensky and all the things that she is involved in. She's a French lawyer, health advocate for holistic medicine, author of the Winning the World Cancer, which I'm pretty sure I have that book around here somewhere. Founder and president of the Beljansky Foundation. You're CEO of a company that has supplements and skin care, am I right?
Sylvie Beljanski (1:34)
Absolutely. Maison Belzinsky.
Jim Mann (1:36)
Oh, yes. And of course you do a conference. You also do your own podcast, and the list actually goes on further, but that will take up the whole podcast. So I thought let's just get into it because we'll have all these links on the podcast.
Sylvie Beljanski (1:50)
Anyway, thank you for having me. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to join you.
Jim Mann (1:55)
First of all, I want to talk about the research you're doing. And with breast cancer, you know a lot about your foundation. But just in case people were just being introduced to you, give us a little synopsis of your background. Like your dad, he was on to something huge, and the government didn't like it.
Sylvie Beljanski (2:13)
Yes. So, indeed, I mean, my father was. Mirko Belchonsky was a PhD in molecular biology. He was working at the Pasteur Institute, which is a kind of French equivalent of nih. And he was one of the first scientists to look at the environment as a cause and also as a solution to cancer. And that was really new back in the 80s, because at the time, the. The double helix of Watson and Creek has just been discovered. And the bright future of medicine was all about genes and genetic medicine and coming up with new drugs that will affect the genes and so on. My father said, uh, if it was all genetic, there would be a stable number of Cancer. But the fact that we are seeing a growing number of cancer means there is something probably in the environment that is triggering the genes and may induce some modification at the level of the DNA. And he went on further by making the observation that there is a fundamental difference between cancer DNA, healthy DNA. And you observe that difference, whether you are looking at plants, animals, humans. A cancer cell has its DNA which are the double helix have open. The two strands are not well kept together anymore. The hydrogen bonds which are supposed to keep together the two strands of the DNA have broken. And then because the strands are not well kept together, they have those big loops. And my father had the idea to measure the amount of light going through those big loops. And he made the correlation between the size of the loops, the destabilization of the DNA and the rate of synthesis, increased rate of synthesis of those cells. So increased rate of synthesis, meaning cells dividing faster. And that's a hallmark of cancer. So he was able to test from there screen some molecules that would induce this destabilization of the DNA that he was able to measure through the light. And then he had knew what kind of products were able to induce cancer. And then he used the test in a reversed way to see if there would be in the environment some molecules that would do the opposite, selectively recognize this destabilized DNA, those big loops, and prevent their duplication selectively, without any effect, unhealthy DNA. And he was able to find two plant extracts able to do just that. So those plant extracts, they are able to recognize cancer cells wherever the cells are located. You stop thinking in terms of melanoma, prostate, ovaries, breast, it doesn't matter anymore. They recognize those cells whose DNA has been modified, is open wide and prevent the duplication, kill those cells, induce apoptosis, that's a technical word. And they do not touch healthy cells. And when you look under the microscope, you can see because those plant extracts are naturally fluorescent. You see, they penetrate those wide open DNA of those cancer cells and they stay outside of the healthy cells. And it's really like a bright halo of fluorescence that stay outside the healthy cells without penetrating them. So that means no toxicity and no side effect to healthy cells. So it kind of one fits all, actually protocol for killing cancer cells. And my father became extremely successful back in the 80s 90s with number of French doctors who were using that successfully on all of their cancer patients. And in the 90s, Francois Mitterrand, the French president, was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. And he was already very sick at the beginning of his second term, things have been kept secret. The disease had been kept secret during the first term, but now, second term, they were unable to keep it secret any longer. So the president, I mean, the cancer had spread everywhere. And these official doctors said, well, he's not going to finish his second term. We are going to put him on the morphine and he is. We are going to prepare the country for early elections. But Mitterra Demistras, who knew of a good doctor, was using very successfully my father's products. And Mitterra started to take the products and very visibly, because he was a president, he started to get better and better. And then that's where the press, the media started to a lot of questions. And of course, the fact that some natural little compounds could do well and better than official medicine, I mean, did not sit well with pharmaceutical companies and with political class also, which is funded by pharmaceutical companies. So after Mitterrand finally passed away, he was able to finish his second term. But after he finally passed away, the French army, a sweat team, was sent to my father's laboratory to destroy everything, arrest him, arrest my mom, arrest all the doctors, the scientists, the pharmacists who were working with him. And yeah, total destruction of the research. It was barbarians putting fire to knowledge, man, that's incredible.
