Nicolai Levashov. The Mirror of My Soul. Vol. 1. Born in the USSR

           Belozerov asked him about the effect of my influence, he answered: “I do not know what
           helped me, whether it was the pills I took, or whether it was Levashov, who waved his
           hands in front of me...”

                That was the gratitude I got for saving his life, which lasted longer than nature
           planned for him. I do not think that he did not understand the whole seriousness of his
           state, and the future prospects, which modern medicine offered him. This man either was
           scared to tell the truth in front of a camera or he is simply a dishonourable man. But what
           can an aged man be afraid of? They will not take his rank of academician, the maximum
           they could do to him is a small rebuke and that was all. It seems to me that it is small-
           minded to act against one’s conscience because of this trifle. And, if it was done for any
           other reason, then it was dishonourable.

                By the way, he paid me nothing for my work, and even did not present a box of
           chocolates. I mention this not because I needed his sweets, I was simply surprised by the
           absence of any impulse to express his gratitude for my saving his life. Most likely, our
           academician considered that fact that he allowed me to approach him and help him was
           enough payment for my rescuing him from death, by the way, a very agonizing death...
           Well, let it remain on his conscience.

                Almost at the same time Michael Dekhta asked me to help to another person—Lori

           Nikolaevich Popov, a candidate of medical science, an epidemiologist. Before we met
           he had been disabled for already three years and eight months and was on the verge of
           despair.

                His way to disability began when as a result of long and powerful stress he “earned”
           so-called unspecific ulcerous colitis with a complete ulcerous lesion of the large intestine
           and partial lesion of the small intestine. A typical medical approach had consisted of the
           administration of strong antibiotics which completely destroyed the micro flora of the
           intestine and strongly debilitated the liver and immune system.

                When that happened, he was prescribed a hormone—prednisolone, which almost

           deactivated  his  adrenal  glands.  Because  of  the  enormous  amount  of  non-permanent
           doses of different medications he had a glamerulonephritis of his right kidney... As a
           result of such “treatment”, by the moment of our meeting he also had anaemia because
           of  an  iron  deficiency:  his  immune  system  had  stopped  functioning,  and  the  whole
           organism was completely exhausted.

                Being  a  doctor,  Lori  Nikolaevich  perfectly  understood  his  “prospects”  for  the
           future, which was far from being rosy and bright. In fact, he considered himself to be
           doomed.  But  I  could  not  agree  with  him  and  said  not  to  despair  and  give  me  the
           opportunity to help him. He agreed and he is still safe and sound—he got rid of his

           disability in a year.

                Although he was totally poisoned by medications, nevertheless, I asked him not to
           stop taking them immediately, especially hormones, but step by step. When I had worked
           with  him  for  some  time  and  partially  managed  to  recover  his  immune  system  and
           metabolism, I asked him to reduce the dosage of hormones. Next partial recovery—next
           reduction of hormones, etc., until hormones and other medications were reduced to zero.
