Tamara Lebedewa

Tamara Lebedewa (actually Tamara Jakowlewna Swishcheva , Russian Тамара Яковлевна Свищева ; born April 12, 1938 in Krasnoyarsk , USSR ) is a Russian chemist and book author. She worked in Russia at various government research institutions in the fields of oncology , gynecology and obstetrics, epidemiology and microbiology as well as radiology and, according to her own statements, holds several patents. Since the mid-1990s, she has spread the claim in books, lectures and on various websites that she identified the unicellular parasite Trichomonas vaginalis as the causative agent of all cancers and many other diseases in 1989 . In 1997 her first book "Cancer - You Can Beat the Disease" was published in Russia. Since then she has published a total of 16 books, four of which were published in German in 2002 and 2003.

Claims of Disease Origin

According to Lebedewa's presentation, tumors do not consist of degenerate body cells, but are colonies of the single-cell parasite Trichomonas vaginalis . According to their claims, tumor cells that are kept outside the body for 14 days in Ringer's solution turn into trichomonads. In their opinion, these have the ability to mimicry in the body , i.e. to adapt their outer shape to the surrounding tissue. According to Tamara Lebedewa, this explains why the trichomonads are not recognized as parasites in microscopic examinations of cancerous tissue, but rather are confused with body cells. She also bases her theory on similarities in form, shape and response, which she claims to have observed in trichomonads and in cells taken from tumors after treatment with various environmental influences and stimuli. These similarities include, for example, chaotic growth, asymmetric cell division and diversity, as well as the reaction to cold and various chemical substances and enzymes. Certain endogenous cells such as macrophages and megakaryocytes as precursors of platelets are also different forms of trichomonads in their view.

In addition to cancer, she ascribes a causal role to trichomonads or at least a role in the development or course of the disease in AIDS , arteriosclerosis and thrombosis , arthritis and osteoarthritis , diabetes mellitus , multiple sclerosis and other diseases. Cancer and other serious, chronic diseases arise from a reduction in the sensitivity (the ability to react) of the immune system, triggered precisely by the use of chemotherapy drugs. The formation of tumors is the sign of a body-wide spread of the multiplying trichomonads. The formation of metastases is a sign of the attempt by the body's own cells to master the trichomonads. Failure to form metastases would therefore be regarded as a prognostically unfavorable sign in the Lebedewas sense, since in this case there would be no confrontation with the trichomonads. The contact of human blood with the ambient air, for example in the context of surgical interventions , inevitably leads to uncontrolled trichomonads and ultimately to cancer.

For diagnosis, she primarily uses the examination of live blood smears in the dark field microscope , an approach based on the scientifically unrecognized and refuted pleomorphism theory according to the French researcher Antoine Béchamp (1816–1908) and the German zoologist Günther Enderlein (1872–1968) .

The therapeutic cleansing concept from Lebedewa

As therapeutic measures , she derives a four-step program from her theory, which consists of cleansing the body of toxins , adding vitamins , minerals and trace elements , eliminating trichomonads and strengthening the immune system.

The daily intake of cranberry juice is an important part of the cleansing regimen propagated by Lebedewa , as this juice can kill trichomonads in seconds. The highly concentrated phytochemicals of anthocyanins in cranberry juice are important here . But ingredients from garlic , juniper berries , nuts and fir would also have corresponding therapeutic effects. The therapeutic gargle of sunflower oil acts as a chemical bait for trichomonads in the mouth. The subsequent spitting out of this oil leads to the excretion of trichomonads and their components.

According to Lebedewa, the chemotherapeutic agents used in scientific medicine are ineffective against trichomonads. They would have a harmful effect on cells of the immune system and would therefore, paradoxically, promote the development of cancer and would be ineffective in combating causal cancer.

criticism

Tamara Lebedewa's theories are in some respects similar to those of the American physiologist Hulda Clark , who holds the parasite Fasciolopsis buski and environmental toxins responsible for cancer. As with Clark Therapy, Tamara Lebedewa's claims are unanimously rejected by doctors and biologists. The morphology of megakaryocytes and macrophages as well as their function in blood formation and coagulation or in the immune defense , for example, have been examined and documented in detail. The findings in this regard clearly contradict the views of Tamara Lebedewa. The fact that cancer cells are of the body's own origin and that they are therefore not trichomonads can be clearly demonstrated using both cell biological and molecular biological methods. The results of her investigations presented in Tamara Lebedewa's books do not reveal essential details, for example the purity of her tissue samples and the type and scope of control tests carried out. Tamara Lebedewa never presented medical studies that meet scientific standards for her hypotheses.

The theory of pleomorphism put forward by Günther Enderlein in the 1920s, i.e. the diversity of microorganisms on which Tamara Lebedewa's claims are based, is considered refuted. The parasite Trichomonas vaginalis has been known to science since 1836 and has been very well studied in medical and biological terms due to the disease trichomoniasis it causes . Many of the herbal substances mentioned by Ms. Lebedewa that are supposed to be effective against trichomonads are generally health-promoting foods.

Lebedeva's views on serious human diseases are in part self-immunizing. She integrates factual or logical counter-arguments to her hypotheses into her argumentation. The views it represents are in part suitable to discourage seriously ill people from a meaningful therapy for which there is a neutral and documented proof of effectiveness. Lebedewa's unproven views on cancer development after surgery or taking antibiotics may discourage patients from undergoing meaningful therapy.
