  • Hello Gordon

    I'm so very sorry to hear that you've recently been told that you have incurable cancer. It must have been difficult news to hear.

    It's understandable that you want to explore any possible option to improve your outlook. I just wanted to reply to you as I saw you wanted to find out more about Oren Zarif and whether there was evidence that this is a cure for cancer Unfortunately there is currently no scientific evidence or research to suggest that this type of alternative therapy can treat or cure cancer. We know you want to do all you can, and that it can be very tempting to try anything as a last resort, but many alternative therapies can be very dangerous and can actually cause more harm.  They can also be incredibly expensive. This is because they are unregulated and have not been tested in the same way as conventional cancer treatment. I hope this information we have about alternative therapies and the safety of alternative therapies will prove useful.

    I know it can be difficult to find safe and reliable information about cancer treatment online but you do need to be careful when coming across articles or stories online that claim something is a cancer cure. When this happens, it's important to research and fact-check what you have seen, and I hope these tips we have about using the internet to find information about alternative therapies will help you in the future.

    If you would like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, they are available on 0808 800 4040 Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    Sending you our best wishes,

  • Hi Gordon. If you look on the front page of Oren Zarif's website, you will see my testimonial. It is a year since your post so I hope that you received help in the meantime. The moderator Jenn is correct that you must be careful when seeking help from alternative practitioners. However I can say without any hesitation that Oren really helped me with first breast cancer reduced from a grade 2 to a grade 1 before surgery. A nurse said that it was very unusual because usually it goes up the grades not down. Then again when I developed Merkel cell cancer a skin condition affecting the lymph nodes. I had a huge enlarged lymph node in the groin that was catching on my clothes and was sore and another in the pelvis. Oren gave me healing and the lymph node swelling in the groin completely disappeared before radiotherapy. I still went ahead with the radiotherapy. In addition 7 other conditions also either completely cleared or dramatically improved. Oren says that he is not a healer. He clears blockages in the body's energy flow so that the body can heal itself. He does amazing work clearing all kinds of conditions.

  • Hi Oren

    Israel: the Investigative Committee on Misleading Advertising at the Ministry of Health wishes to announce as follows:

    1. Oren Zarif is not qualified to practice medicine or any health profession whatsoever.  The information provided by him or in his advertisements cannot guide patients with diseases and the medical conditions specified in his advertisements, or serve as a recommendation or medical instruction.
    2. The information and advice provided by Oren Zarif may not constitute a substitute for individual or other medical advice or advice regarding using changing or stopping any drug whatsoever.
    3. There is no scientific data regarding the method of treatment and the advice provided by Oren Zarif to patients with diseases and the medical conditions specified in the advertisements.
    4. Oren Zarif's advertisements are made without any scientific basis while misleading the public and with the forbidden attribution of special qualities in relation to the methods of treatment and cure in a manner that constitutes a substitute for medical treatment.
  • Such a shame that this reply showing a statement from the Israel Ministry of Health does not appreciate the good work that Oren does. He has NEVER claimed to be a medical professional. He has NEVER said that he is a healer. Far from misleading people he helps people to heal themselves. What a great shame that he is berated for acting in good faith. What he did for me BEFORE any medical treatment was amazing. It did not prevent me from going on to have the traditional treatment of radiotherapy. The radiotherapy has left scarring on my lung. I also have a hernia that wasn't there before the radiotherapy. It is documented that children who have had radiotherapy can develop hernias. Though they don't admit that it can also damage adults. It is very annoying to have a statement such as this given in reply to my post. As I said the cancer I had in my breast reduced before surgery as a direct result of Oren's intervention. The lump went down from a grade 2 to a grade 1. The surgeon confirmed this to me on receipt of his report. I was told this was very unusual. A year later an enlarged lymph node in the groin disappeared completely before the radiotherapy started. The Oncologist checked and couldn’t find it. It is time that patients had a choice. Alternative therapies complement traditional treatments and should be embraced and not despised.

  • Hi Oren

    Alternative and complimentary medicine and techniques can play a huge part in the wellbeing of cancer patients. The problem arises sorting out genuine providers from the scammers. Hiding behind encrypted chat service whatsapp as the only method of contact as Oren does should be a red flag to anyone.
