Eleni Sarantinou bLU Talks 2019
Harvard Graduate School of Education, Cambridge
I was born in Greece, the home of olives and grapes. I studied Economics and had a successful career in IT before stumbling across Life Coaching and NLP. Today, I’m an NLP trainer, a Life Coach, a wife, a mother, a world traveller. Nothing gives me more joy than sharing what I’ve learnt, and am still learning, with you. Read more

“I feel it is the duty of one who goes his own way to inform society of what he finds on his voyage of discovery.”
– Carl Gustav Jung
Balance is what I am after; find a way to share my experience while at the same time, I am leaving the past behind and I am moving on. Twenty years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and since much less was known back then, I was advised not to question its origin, but instead be happy that I survived and move on. And I did exactly that; mainly because of lack of resources. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer metastasised in the lever. This time, there was the necessity and the possibility for me to have a DNA test which revealed I was carrier of the BRCA1 gene mutation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRCA1); a chromosome mutation which is connected to higher rates of breast and ovarian cancer. This time round, I know what I am up against. It is my belief that avoiding triggers like excessive stress, trauma etc and maintaining a healthy life style can be an answer to BRCA1; in my case, prior to both occasions of cancer, there were higher levels of stress and I had chosen (due to ignorance of the consequences) a quite unhealthy life-style. The below websites represent individuals and organizations who supported me throughout the battle with cancer. They are located in different places, mainly The Netherlands, Malaysia, Dubai, Germany and United States. Despite where anyone lives though, their sites either provide enough information for help or give a starting point to anyone seeking for options. I would like to express my gratitude and hope that they can also make a difference for others. Writing it all down fills my heart with warmth while it empties my mind. Thank you!
“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.”
– Buddha
Dr John Sarno
Dr Sarno has literally saved the day for me. A different approach from main stream psychology and a theory that can actually get you very quickly off pain and suffering. Just by reading one of his books ‘The Divided Mind’, you can heal from many different ailments.

FORCE – Facing our risk of cancer empowered
It is very recently through Twitter that I discovered FORCE: an organization about ladies suffering from BRCA1 & BRCA2, a genetic DNA mutation increasing the chances for developing breast and ovarian cancer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRCA1). A year after finding out that I am carrier of this mutation, the existence of FORCE gave me a strong sense of solidarity.

Art of Living
Art of Living is one of the largest humanitarian organizations in the world. I started with their courses back in 2007 in order to learn how to breathe properly and improve my health. The practice of Sudarshan Kriya ( a specific rhythmic way of deep breathing) has literally changed my way of life and thinking; it fills our cells with oxygen and clears up mind and body. I was amazed to find out about the projects and services they offer all over the world. The founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a true spiritual leader, loving, open-minded, dedicated and funny! His dedication and many teachings are simple yet profound messages about love, service and balance.

Private Clinic Dr Kalden – Oncology and naturopathy
And then you have …Dr Kalden! Coming out of a tough year and being told that there were no guarranties about the future (mainly because it was stage 4), I needed to find doctors who could work with me on prevention. It was important to explore potential alternative methods to treat and prevent cancer. A special information organization in this domain in Germany matched me with with Dr Kalden’s clinic. A caring, super-knowledgeable, funny doctor who introduced me to biological medicine, T-cells, hyperthermia, fever therapy, intravenous vitamin C among others. I got a unique chance to estimate my immunity levels and act accordingly.

Freddie Brink
Almelo is a small town in east Holland in the province of Twente, close to the German border. It also happens to be my husband’s hometown. While being treated with chemotherapy, we spent a few months in Almelo and one of the jewels there is Fredy Brink’s yoga center. Attending the yoga sessions was a true transformation as Fredy combines the yoga poses with mindblowing visualization techniques and impactful metaphors.

Dr. Wayne Dyer
It was Dr David Fraser who suggested that I read Dr Wayne Dyer’s books. I thank him for that every day! I have spent a lot of nights manifesting my future under the spell of Dr Wayne Dyer’s soft yet powerful voice. His books and CDs are an inspiration. “The painful events are like a raft you use to cross the river and you must remember to get off on the other side.” Such metaphors create new miracle strategies in our minds and we start living more in the present moment. The “Manifest your destiny” and the “Power of intention” truly capture the wisdom of the whole world in a nutshell.

Dr Thierry HERTOGHE
Surviving ovarian cancer is one thing, dealing with the hormone imbalance after your ovaries are removed is another one. Having read many books of Suzanne Somers and alternative hormone therapy, Dr Hertoghe was mentionned in the ‘Breakthrough’. Lucky as I am, when I contacted him by email, he informed me that he would be giving a course for doctors in Kuala Lumpur where I would move to in a week’s time. He was kind enough to include me in the participant list as an exception. Dr Hertoghe’s father and grandfather were also doctors and in his book ‘The Hormone Solution: Stay Younger Longer with Natural Hormone and Nutrition Therapies’, he delivers 35-year of knowledge on natural hormone therapy. Dr Hertoghe recommends that anyone who starts with natural hormone therapy waits at least two years after the last occurance of cancer. Even if he is world-wide known in the field of natural hormone therapy, his knowledge regarding the body goes far beyond just that.

Dr. Parviz Rashvand
While living in Dubai a few years ago, Lariam (an anti-malaria preventive medicine) was prescribed to me when I mentionned my plans for visiting Bangalore, India. After the fourth pill, I experienced severe chest pains and my nervous sytem collapsed and ended up in hospital. It took my husband’s research to make the liaison with Lariam. In one of the darkest periods of my life, it took 6 months for the effect of Lariam to leave my body. The doctor who made a difference and helped me keep my sanity was Dr Parviz; this was my first contact with naturopathy and the quantum technology. Where hospitals in this case could offer me nothing, naturopathy helped calm my organs, adrenals, nervous system and supported me with tremendous success through what would have otherwise been an ordeal with worse consequences.
