Chiseled Ep 93 - A Journey of Faith and Survival - Eberhard Samlowski
Eberhard Samlowski, a devout Christian and retired surgeon, knew before the doctors told him in 2022 that he had esophageal cancer. They suggested a three-part treatment — chemotherapy, radiation, and a risky surgery. Eberhard knew the odds were not good. He also had a trip scheduled to Saudi Arabia, a pilgrimage he had been waiting 30 years to take. He was headed to the concealed potential site that many locals and several archeological and biblical scholars believe is Mt. Sinai.
The doctors told Eberhard that it was unwise for him to make the trek, and that he had a limited chance of survival without surgery. But as a man of faith and science, and with an irresistible zest for life, Eberhard wasn't about to abandon his dream.
"They basically said that ... I was pointing a gun to my head, and they can't stop me, but they strongly advised against going. But I said I'm climbing Mt. Sinai," Eberhard, a former extreme athlete, said. "I wasn't willing to give up my lifestyle."
Before he left, Eberhard investigated medical options that might increase the 5 percent odds the doctors gave him of survival. An Ivermectin and Fenbendazole cocktail later, Eberhard started healing even while on his journey. His lifelong devotion to God was also magnified and reaffirmed.
"Everything has just been solidified in my mind that the Bible is actually true, that the things that are talked about in the Bible, including miracles, all happened, so I've just accepted all that," he said.
Two and a half years later and having never had the esophagectomy, Eberhard has gone from thinking of himself as a "dead man walking" to planning for his future — even after a new diagnosis of kidney cancer. He is now teaching people not only about the convincing evidence of the Bible's literal truth but also alternative therapies that traditional Western medicine does not yet fully embrace.
Are you interested in finding out how Eberhard is managing his cancer or want to learn more about the many ways God has intervened in his life? You can reach out to him on Facebook. He is also available at the email address he shares at the end of this episode of Chiseled.
