Is this what makes you sick? Difficult-to-diagnose causes of illness / Hubert Czerniak and Leszek...

As detailed in the whats_new entry, he uses the fuel analogy (Opel car), the Bohr effect craving, and cases of high‑hemoglobin stroke patients. He explains that the parameters he uses are described step‑by‑step in his e‑book, from hemoglobin‑MCV‑iron to monocyte/eosinophil/basophil patterns. He also strongly recommends gasometry when available, as it reveals whether blood is pathologically retaining oxygen due to low CO₂.

Leszek expresses a wish that after his death this practice becomes a societal custom, like greeting a friend with a glass of horsetail decoction. He also mentions knotgrass (rdest ptasi) as another powerful silica accumulators. He links his own visibly healthy, elastic veins (confirmed by lab) to this habit combined with high‑dose vitamin C. He explains that plants extract silica from soil with the help of symbiotic fungi and bacteria, converting it to a bioavailable organic form, and thus the herbal tea mimics nature’s delivery system.

He references ancient Sumerian king‑lists suggesting longer lifespans when humans did not eat constantly. Modern over‑consumption of energy creates chronic inflammation. Fasting flips the cellular machinery from growth to repair and recycling. He notes that until recently the Christian tradition prescribed two fasting days per week, but was reduced because people wanted to eat more. He and Hubert themselves, being lean, could fast three weeks without health detriment. He personally fasted on the Monday before the recording to be ‘sharp as a razor.’ He also explains the internal amino‑acid recycling loop: the body breaks down ~180 g of old cells daily and only needs ~200 g of high‑quality meat to supply building blocks, so a short fast merely amplifies this salvage pathway.

He purchased a personal hydrogen pitcher that produces visible bubbles and drank two glasses before the recording. He notes that Earth’s primitive atmosphere contained far more hydrogen, and that a normobaric chamber can have 1 % hydrogen—2000 times more than ambient air. Hydrogen, together with vitamin D and the amino‑acid building blocks he routinely supplies, fosters the formation of new stem cells. He laments that the ‘wodorowa laseczka’ (hydrogen stick) he once saw is no longer available, but powders now exist. He also describes using an ioniser to produce pH 9 water with −300 mV ORP, stressing the need to drink it fresh.

During the discussion of heart attacks, he distinguishes mechanical blockages from those caused by stress and free radicals. Stress activates the sympathetic nervous system and adrenal glands, releasing cortisol and catecholamines that slow blood flow, increase thromboxane, and cross‑link fibrin to form clots. Vitamin E counteracts this by coating erythrocytes and platelets, reducing adhesion. He also mentions that vitamin E is known for skin rejuvenation but the cardiovascular benefit is its main role in his protocol.

He describes that fungi often invade joints, causing low‑grade inflammation that is misdiagnosed as osteoarthritis. Boron is a simple, inexpensive substance with strong antifungal action. He contrasts it with prescription statins (which he criticises for blocking CoQ10) and harsh chemical antifungals, presenting boron as a gentle but effective home remedy.

He cites a study where rats with implanted tumours lived longer when breathing trace hydrogen cyanide gas, illustrating the paradoxical benefit of low‑dose cyanide. He wishes this practice would become a mass phenomenon alongside drinking silica decoctions. Wolves instinctively eat the liver first, but he also wants people to value seeds as protective agents. He encourages people to collect seeds in their free time and to teach children to chew them.

He explains that plants protect their offspring by embedding anti‑nutritional factors; phytic acid binds minerals, and aflatoxins are carcinogenic mould metabolites. Traditional cultures always soaked beans and often nuts, but this knowledge has been lost. He points out that even common walnuts can carry aflatoxins, and soaking is a simple, ancestral solution.

He explains that red blood cells must be perfectly concave discs to carry oxygen efficiently; if they are too small (microcytic) from iron/manganese deficiency or heavy‑metal (lead, mercury) displacement, or too large (macrocytic) from B12/B6/B2 shortage, oxygen delivery collapses. The pentose phosphate pathway in erythrocytes produces NADPH for antioxidant protection, and shape determines capillary passage. He recounts a patient with hemoglobin 8.7 g/dL who suddenly craved carbonated water—her body was seeking CO2 to facilitate oxygen release via the Bohr effect. D‑dimers, even when in the mid‑300s (still inside the standard < 500 ng/mL), were found in post‑infarction/stroke patients, leading him to insist on a target < 50. Hemoglobin above 18 g/dL turns blood into ‘concrete,’ risking micro‑strokes. He ties all this to mitochondrial ATP production: no oxygen → no ATP → multi‑organ failure. He created an e‑book to teach self‑interpretation because his clinic cannot handle the demand.

He describes a man with a 6‑meter tapeworm who was told ultrasound showed nothing; only when given gadolinium for an MRI did the worm die and was expelled. Another slim woman passed three golf‑ball‑sized parasite nests after strong antiparasitic treatment—no feces, only white threads and eggs. He holds up the book ‘Pasożyty – prawdziwa choroba’ by Alan Bar and argues that many ‘autoimmune’ or chronic illnesses are actually caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites. He emphasizes that the Earth’s main biomass is the fungal mycelial network, and our bodies are partly fungal. He mentions histoplasma, keratinophilic fungi, and tinea versicolor. He uses biorezonans to detect hidden infections but warns that L‑form bacteria are too small to register. He claims that cancer may be a fungal overgrowth, referencing Simoncini and a Polish researcher whose tumor‑derived fungus survived boiling in aqua regia and formalin. Therefore, fighting fungi with antifungals alone is futile unless you starve them by eliminating sugar; one teaspoon of sugar can lead to millions of fungal spores overnight. He recommends the large probiotic bacterium Narine to out‑compete fungi, and boron (borax) or lilac (bez) essential oil as natural antifungals.

He explains that when DPP‑4 is deactivated (he suspects by thimerosal), gluten and casein are not chopped into harmless amino acids but instead converted to intermediate opioid peptides. These children then strongly prefer sugary, starchy foods—like pierogi with strawberries and cream—that simultaneously feed fungi, worsening dysbiosis. The same children often display sensory hypersensitivity in multiple domains. He notes that such a diet (flour + sugar + fat) is perfect ‘fertilizer’ for fungi. He links this to leaky gut and autoimmune cascades, and suggests that re‑establishing stomach acidity and providing collagen to thicken the gut lining are essential first steps. He does not offer a detailed treatment protocol beyond removing gluten/casein and supporting digestion.

He explains that after an initial infection or inflammation (a cold, diarrhea, fever), the body may produce antibodies that recognize both the pathogen and a self‑tissue (molecular mimicry). Later, when the immune system is ‘bored’ and lacks active threats—owing to sterile environments or chronic low‑grade inflammation—it may re‑trigger an attack on the cross‑reactive tissue. He gives Hashimoto’s thyroiditis as an example, where the original insult occurred months earlier. He uses the metaphor of children who, when bored, might set fire to a barn to create excitement—so the immune system may ‘start a fire’ of autoimmunity. He warns against over‑sterilizing children and advocates for periodic mild caloric restriction, fasting, and a diet that keeps the immune system slightly engaged (a ‘tiny bit of inflammation’) to prevent this idle‑time attack.

Leszek describes this old method as a very cheap and simple way to achieve localized antimicrobial treatment. He explains that ions of silver and gold destroy not only bacteria but also fungi, and he humorously references vampire lore. He ties this to modern concerns about antibiotic resistance and the limitations of conventional drugs, implying that revisiting such methods could be valuable for persistent conditions where pills fail. He does not provide a current source or exact protocol, but the vivid historical anecdote serves to inspire investigation.

Leszek states that about 40 bacterial species can transform into L‑forms. When a synovial fluid sample is taken for analysis, the L‑forms are rapidly killed by air exposure (in 10‑15 seconds), leaving no trace for microscopy. Biorezonans only detects forms that have a cell wall with the corresponding vibrational signature, so L‑forms are invisible. He argues that this explains why many patients test negative for infection yet exhibit tissue destruction—the immune system targets host cells that harbour these hidden pathogens. He concludes that relying only on academic laboratory methods means ‘one might as well whistle and not diagnose’.
