The Krebiozen "Cure" and the Power of the Mind

Kabbalah places great emphasis on the immense power of thought, to the point of affirming that even objects and experiences are subject to the energy-intelligence of thought. Mind and body, thought and environment are inseparable. When a person falls ill, therefore, it is not only the illness that needs to be treated, but the whole being.

One of the most dramatic cases illustrating the power of the mind over the body was reported more than half a century ago by Dr. Bruno Klopfer, a researcher involved in the testing of a drug called Krebiozen. In 1950, Krebiozen received sensational national attention as a supposed "cure" for cancer; it was being tested by the American Medical Association (AMA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One of Dr. Klopfer's patients had developed an advanced lymphatic cancer, with tumor masses throughout his body. Upon learning that his physician was involved in the Krebiozen trials, the patient begged to receive the drug. After just one dose, his tumors vanished. His recovery was astonishing, and he regained enough strength to resume a normal life.

However, when reports published by the AMA and the FDA claimed that the drug was ineffective, the patient suffered a drastic relapse. The cancer returned, and he was once again bedridden. In a desperate attempt to save him, the doctor told him that the reports were false and that doses with twice the concentration of Krebiozen would bring better results. In reality, the injections contained only sterile water. But once again the patient experienced a rapid remission, and the tumors disappeared once more. Soon he even resumed his hobby of flying airplanes.

Yet when the FDA released its final conclusions, which reached the media with the headline "Tests conclusively prove Krebiozen worthless in the treatment of cancer", the man died a few days later.

How can we explain this "placebo effect"? Science has only begun to map the routes between the brain and other parts of the body. But there is no doubt that the mind acts as both healer and destroyer. Going further, Kabbalah suggests that the mind can extend its influence over the entire cosmos. The Zohar clearly states that the cosmic influences at the root of all misfortune and illness must be under human control. These forces can be brought to behave according to humanity's directions. The Kabbalistic teachings demonstrate how people can exert substantial influence over medical conditions once considered beyond conscious control.

Key Points

• Mind & body are inseparable: the environment and physical status respond to our mental beliefs.
• Powerful placebo: hope and conviction alone can bring about the remission of serious illnesses.
• Information affects healing: negative news neutralized the therapeutic effect of the "remedy."
• Conscious directive: Kabbalah teaches that a human being can reprogram even cosmic influences of illness.
• The mind heals and destroys: our thoughts can be agents of both health and sickness.

Concise Summary

The case of Krebiozen, a supposed cancer remedy that, in the end, proved to be sterile water, dramatically illustrates the placebo: tumors disappeared and reappeared according to the patient's conviction about the effectiveness of the "drug." For Kabbalah, this phenomenon is not the exception but the rule: mind and body, thought and environment are aspects of one and the same system. The Zohar reveals that even the "cosmic influences" of illness are subject to our conscious decision. Thus, cures once considered impossible become accessible when we correctly apply the power of our mind.
