Increased doses of Prayer and Vitamin-C

A joint prayer is called by the Secretariat of the International Eucharistic Congress, by the Magyar Kurír and Új Ember publisher’s office, as well as by the World Event messengers’ Csaba Böjte, András Csókay and Róbert Szikora, for an end to the coronavirus pandemic. András Csókay himself, as a devout Christian and a man of science talked about the protection: along with the pray and repenting what one needs is disinfection, Vitamin-C and the Béres drops.

- You quite often talk about the power of the intercessory prayer. What does this power mean to a scientist doctor?

It is rather difficult to understand how a prayer can work in our world. We have learned all about the significance of the intercessory prayer already in the nursery school catechism, and the faithful education has been encouraging us since our childhood to pray for others as well. God, the Creator knows about every hair on our head, everything is interconnected, and we human beings are living in an interaction with each other. It is an experienced reality -even by the non-believers- that loving thoughts can do a great deal of good. All the same the science itself smiles at it again and again.

I felt this influence down to the depths of my heart, when in the final hours of the 26 hours operation aimed at separating a pair of Siamese twins, I got to the point of a complete exhaustion, and then I was helped out by the enormous power of the background praying. When during the post-operative period the children were about to die, I felt even stronger the importance of the background prayers, organised by Catholic news sites, like Magyar Kurír and Új Ember as well.

I should like to share a mysterious experience of mine. A sister of the Carmelite convent in Targu Mures illustrated the strength of the prayer with a scenery from the nature: the rising water vapour is blown away towards the desert, where it condenses the moisture and quenches the thirst of the tired desert wanderer. Yes, I could have felt very much alike in the last hours of the operation: being a terribly tired and an abandoned wanderer. This symptom is well known by the social psychology, describing it as a team spirit support. Loving thoughts are of extreme importance, as the prayer is called by the believers. The kind of prayer that knows no limits at

What could be more natural than God’s broad support for the transmission of the positive and loving thoughts, of that God who had created from scratch the universe and the billions of galaxies.

Many real experiences confirm the impact of the. This has been acknowledged by the science as well, moreover studies have been also performed. For instance there were comparisons on diverse patient groups, one of the pier groups had background prayers, while the other one had not. Medical journals have confirmed the positive effects of prayers

- Where do the doctors stand in the pandemic, and how do you see the protection?

Well, the pandemic has not developed yet in Hungary. At the moment, beside the cancer cases, hospitals perform surgeries on acute patients only. The pandemic triggers extra burden for those who are treating the diseases caused by the coronavirus. On our side, the main duty is an emergency preparedness and a standby attention, to filter out and to examine the dubious cases. We have to understand that we might face a tsunami phenomenon, alike to the one that has struck our Italian friends’. It is approaching, though has not blown in yet. Regarding the general principle of a pandemic, the aim is to keep it on a prolonged load. This virus has not an antidote yet, there is no vaccine against it. The science is in a whirlwind race against the disease. We all should have started earlier, but by now there is no time for complaining. There are hopeful results though. A strict respect of the precautions is of extreme importance. As to me, at the moment I’m not living at home, and whenever I go to see my beloved ones, my aged mother amongst, I’m wearing a protective equipment and clothing. We are the country of three great genius, Albert Szent-Györgyi, Ignác Semmelweis and József Béres. Sterility, hand washing, wearing a mask, a triumvirate in the protection against the contagion, while Vitamin-C is the living organ to destroy the virus, thus meaning the main stabilising factor in the biochemical function of the cells. Unfortunately it is not handled in an adequate way by the modern science, since there is no business in it. Szent-Györgyi has not patented his Vitamin-C so to have it produced by everyone. Its immune stabilising and immune strengthen character are recognised. During epidemics its consuming is advisable in high doses. József Béres pointed out the high importance of the microelements in the human organism, and there is absolutely no doubt about their influence on the good condition. Besides, Vitamin-D is another important factor to strengthen the immune system.

- What should the believer pay attention to?

First and foremost, the faith in the resurrected Christ, this deep faith helps us through all the difficulties. The faith, that I’m convinced on the future events of my life if I live a Christ follower life. That’s a relief, the unbelievable certainty. One punishes himself by refusing Jesus the merciful, who appears in the heart of the Church, in the Eucharist, which is an awesome gift for us, a medicine for our body and soul, and what is here with us in the universal Church. The very deep prayer, the suffering and the repentance are leading to the Jesus living inside us. Miraculous and overwhelming to be aware of this. Now it is Lent.

We should repent and then we will experience Jesus’ present in our soul. This ensures fearlessness, and that is far the best strengthening factor of the immune system, while tension and stress are the destroyers that of.

- What is our evidence?

We should know that God responds, and he always responds in a way that is the very best for us. Many times He keeps us on hold, since we have to take our shape. Temporarily the pandemic might be a frightening reality. Yet, we should be steadfast and should feel free to ask God – that’s what Pope Frances were talking about yesterday. We must turn to God with such a prayer’s spirit, with a steadfast and courageous trust during the time of a pandemic. As Apostle Paul taught: Those who love Him would benefit from everything.
