Tuesday’s Tapestry: Faith, Science, and Soulful Connections
The day began with blood work, followed by a review of my Week 1 results. My hemoglobin was improving, and as expected for Week 2, my cancer markers were rising, a natural part of the process as my body adjusts to the treatment. Since Monday was a public holiday in Germany, my protocol schedule was slightly adapted to accommodate the shift.
IPT treatment came next, and as the three-hour infusion slowly coursed through my veins, exhaustion settled in like an old, familiar weight. My body felt sluggish, my mind clouded, yet in that moment, I sought solace in divine words.
I listened to the 99 Names of Allah, followed by the profoundly moving Surah Ar-Rahman and several other chapters, all through my Qur’an Majeed app. The reciter’s soothing voice wrapped around me, offering gentle reminders of Tawakkul, placing full trust in Allah’s plan. Each verse whispered reassurance, reminding me to surrender my worries and embrace the blessings hidden within this journey.
After a small lunch, midday prayer, and a much-needed dose of sunshine, I felt refreshed and ready for the next steps. Local hyperthermia awaited, followed by infusions of Vitamin C and Mistletoe, boosting my body’s resilience.
Then came my favorite part of the day, my session with Coach Mona. Once again, she guided me through techniques to release negative energy and cultivate new habits for a strong daily energy routine. This session was profoundly healing, especially as I reflected on how Islam had instilled so many of these practices 1,400 years ago. Yet, like many, I had never fully embraced Allah’s divine wisdom in this way. Now, here I was, rediscovering the depth of my faith through the guidance of someone who doesn’t even share it. Despite that difference, we shared one vital belief, faith in a higher divine force.
I loved how she stretched her arms to the sky and said, “Thank you, Allah!” when she saw how quickly I was applying everything I had learned. The energy between us was beautiful, soulful, and enriching, a powerful exchange of understanding and growth.
A perfect transition into my next treatment, wrapped in a magnetic blanket, I embarked on Hugo PEMF therapy, embracing the deep cellular healing it offered.
And then, the best surprise of the day, Group Meeting. Just two of us patients this time, which meant an incredible opportunity, a full 30 minutes with Dr. Henning Sauper himself.
Dr. Sauper is a calm, gentle soul, a presence that immediately puts you at ease. His mannerisms are unmistakable, exuding a quiet wisdom that makes you feel as if you’re sitting with an old friend, one who remains steady even amidst the storm. The other patient had many questions, eagerly jotting down notes and asking when she might see progress. Dr. Sauper smiled warmly and said, “Patients need to have patience.” His words struck me deeply, reminding me once more of what we are constantly taught in the Qur’an about patience, “Allah is with those who are patient.” My heart felt full at the thought, and I whispered, “Alhamdulillah.”
What I appreciated most was his honesty, he did not make empty promises of a cure. “Only the divine can cure,” he said. Amen to that. But he explained how our personalized protocols were meticulously designed to strengthen our immune system, helping it fight and destroy cancer cells, keeping the disease at bay and even pushing it into dormancy.
He spoke about groundbreaking research, sharing insights into fellow pioneers who had shaped his work. Then, he ended our session with something truly awe-inspiring, a video showing the live state of a proton. It was breathtaking, almost as if the proton was its own mini-universe, a celestial dance of energy and precision. In that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of wonder. How could such intricacy, such magnificence, be the product of randomness? The undeniable presence of divine creation filled my soul, and I whispered again, “Alhamdulillah.”
Before we parted ways, Dr. Sauper kindly signed and gifted me a copy of his book, Holistic Cancer Medicine – Integrative Strategies for a New Approach to Health and Healing. When I shared with him the Islamic ethos around patience, his eyes lit up with understanding. With a soft smile, he responded in Arabic, “Jameel,” meaning beautiful. That single word, spoken with such sincerity, lingered in my heart long after the conversation ended.
Feeling content, I walked back to my apartment, ready for dinner, prayer, and rest. As I entered, the soft melody of bird song filled the air, a gentle reminder that nature, like faith, continues to sing even in the quietest moments. It felt like encouragement, like a whisper of reassurance—“You’ve got this, keep moving forward.”
The day had started as déjà vu, familiar in its rhythm, but by the end, it had unfolded into something unexpectedly profound. Moments of wisdom, healing, and connection, each one another step forward in this journey.
Until tomorrow. 💛
