I orgasm like a woman every time I orgasm
as much as I do as a man,
and often more as a woman than I do as a man.
They start talking about Serge as if he’s a God.
Love is the truest and highest form of intelligence.
This is Serge Benhayon, and back in 1999,
Serge was bankrupt.
Lucky for him, he had an epiphany while sitting on the toilet.
Now he makes millions selling miracles
and strange ideas about sex to thousands of rich people
who think he is God.
But not everyone agrees.
The group a jury has deemed “a socially harmful cult.”
UniMed’s founder is not a doctor.
Serge Benhayon is a former bankrupt tennis coach.
He is bad news. He has some very sick attitudes to human beings.
He’s a sleazebag.
A man who tells us that he is a descendant
of a great line of teachers, from Buddha to Jesus,
that he’s the reincarnation of Leonardo da Vinci.
He preys on vulnerable people.
He cares about nobody except himself.
He’s a monster.
Serge sitting on the toilet and giving birth to a cult
is kind of symbolic of the quality of the whole thing, really.
[False Gods Universal Medicine]
The organization that Serge leads is called Universal Medicine,
has 2,000 followers in Australia, with numbers growing in Europe,
the US, and the UK,
yet has been dogged by accusations of abuse and brainwashing.
And in 2019, an Australian jury
found that an allegation that it is “a socially harmful cult”
was substantially true.
It has to be said that he does destroy relationships.
He does destroy other people's lives.
But to his flock, Serge isn’t a cult leader at all.
He’s their new messiah,
the reincarnation of Leonardo da Vinci,
a mystical healer who can see the future
and says there’s a master race of nine-foot tall aliens
who go around sniffing humans.
Spirits have a mid-gray colored thin body,
long fingers.
They are all equally nine-feet tall
and have no feet.
But for every person who worships Serge,
there are more who despise him.
Esther Rockett has been on a mission to fight Universal Medicine
ever since she had a hands-on healing session with Serge in 2004.
Back then, he was still inviting women to his house
for treatments including esoteric breast massage.
Serge decided that he should read my ovaries.
I was pretty unimpressed,
and I said immediately, “No, I don’t want that.”
But he put a bit of pressure on,
and he sort of made out that I was overreacting.
And he did put his hands on my lower abdomen
just above the pubic area,
and the first thing he said to me was,
“When you were five years old, a man in your life let you down.”
He kept going up these ages until he reached my teenage years.
And he sort of said that a man in my life had tortured me.
And that’s when I got this idea that Serge was not really a healer.
He was a predator.
Esther was suspicious of Serge
but had already booked a ticket for one of his group healing workshops,
so went along to check it out.
He had about 60 people in this room on treatment tables,
and he'd closed all the curtains so that it was completely dark.
People would have these very strong physical reactions.
They’d start shaking. Some people would start screaming.
They’d cry.
And he said that some of the emotional reactions
was because some of the people in the room
had been angels in a past life,
and they’d been persecuted and tortured,
then they'd been raped.
So I came out of that feeling pretty traumatized, I guess,
and even more worried.
I thought again about going to the police,
but what do you tell them?
This guy is doing exorcisms on people.
Several years later, Esther was alarmed by news reports
about the growth of Universal Medicine.
She started publishing investigations about Serge online,
and in 2015, he sued her for defamation.
But when the case was put in front of a Supreme Court jury in Australia,
they came down on Esther’s side.
Not only that,
they declared that Universal Medicine is “a socially harmful cult.”
They said that Serge was “a charlatan who made fraudulent healing claims”
and had “indecently touched” clients.
They also said he had an “indecent interest” in girls as young as ten
who stayed in his house while he was giving them tennis tuition.
One of the girls that stayed in Serge Benhayon’s house
was Miranda Smith.
And she moved into his home.
She was a tennis pupil. She met him when she was 13.
She moved in when she was around 14
and lived with him pretty much full time for a few years.
She's now married to Serge.
Serge was married to someone else when he had his epiphany,
but there's little sign of a grudge between the two women.
Serge likes to keep it in the family.
Today, both of Serge’s wives help lead Universal Medicine.
Many families have been torn apart,
with parents, kids, husbands and wives abandoned by their loved ones.
That's what happened to Robin Clifford,
whose marriage fell apart
after his wife chose to devote herself to Universal Medicine.
I kept telling myself it was just a phase.
No, it was a lot more dangerous than that.
His ex-wife, Anita, discovered Universal Medicine
while grieving for her parents.
Robin says that over the course of just two years,
the woman he’d fallen in love with disappeared completely.
Up until the death of her mother, she was great, actually,
just to the point I was starting to think, “You know what?
I really love this woman.”
Bang! It all went pear-shaped on me.
They tore the inside out of her and replaced it with something else.
A number of people he’s treated have been severely ill.
Judith McIntyre met Serge while suffering from cancer.
Immediately, Serge saw an opportunity.
It’s spread to organs, and I’ve got very little time.
The truth is, I feel excited.
Judith McIntyre,
in the end, she left Serge around 1.4 million Australian dollars.
That was the majority of her estate.
So this was a case of these followers
literally choosing Serge over their children.
According to Universal Medicine, if parents leave money to their kids,
both they and their children will suffer
when they’re reincarnated in the next life.
This is pretty convenient
when many of your followers are rich old people.
I have seen one will that somebody forwarded to me
where a person who owns a business, reasonably well off,
she's left everything to Serge and his daughter Natalie.
People were leaving him money for some time.
These weren’t isolated events.
Life must be tough when someone you love falls under Serge’s spell.
If he’s not trying to get you written out of your parents’ will,
Serge can usually be found
pumping people’s heads full of strange ideas about sex.
We’re robbed of a richer aspect of making love.
But we’re not robbed of that at the making love or the sexual point.
We’re robbed of that at the livingness point.
In other words, we're not living our immortality.
We're not living our wholesomeness.
While us mere mortals are forced to stay in our sexual lane,
Serge claims that when he climaxes,
he experiences both the male and female orgasm simultaneously.
When you orgasm as a hermaphrodite,
the orgasm is quite spectacular.
It's unlikely that these are triggered by porn, however,
which Universal Medicine hate.
A man who went along to one of their group sessions
claims he felt a follower playing about near his rear end.
When asked why, the follower said that he had been
pulling out a bad energy snake out of his anus.
Apparently, they can take up residence down there
if you watch too much Pornhub.
Serge also says that when a man ejaculates inside a woman,
she takes on board all of his bad energy.
It’s absolutely astonishing
the power that he has to convince my wife that I was a monster.
Universal Medicine’s theories about alcohol are weird too.
He teaches that when you drink alcohol,
it causes a break in your aura
so that entities and evil energy can enter you.
If you drink more, then at night time when you jump into bed,
these entities will leave your body and rape the women in your household.
For example, if I had an energy that was sexual, it could,
while I sleep at night, and it leaves me at night,
and it goes and rapes my daughters while I sleep.
Kids also get a raw deal with Universal Medicine.
Links between Universal Medicine
and a Family and Community Services office in northern New South Wales
has prompted the matter to be referred to
the child protection watchdog.
Serge has said that children living with disabilities
or who have been sexually assaulted
are being punished for their errors in a previous life,
that they might be the reincarnations of corrupt politicians
or evil dictators.
It gets me unpopular these things, but I have to say it anyway.
If you have been sexually abused,
then you have been an abuser.
It probably doesn’t help kids either
when their parents believe eating just one meal a day
can bring them closer to God.
There was a case in Lismore
where a ten-month-old baby was admitted to hospital,
to the emergency room,
nearly dead due to near starvation,
and the parents were very close adherents of Universal Medicine.
I think he told his followers that carrots are as bad as heroin,
that kind of thing.
I mean, this is mad stuff.
While many of Serge’s ideas may seem ridiculous,
whether it's the heroin carrots or the anal energy snakes,
they have a very real impact on people's lives.
Universal Medicine has hundreds of followers in the UK.
One mother lost custody of her child in 2020
after refusing to cut ties with the group,
whose strange ideas seem to be catching on in Britain.
I was at home with the kids, and she came home.
She started burping all over the place, going “Burp!”
And after a while, I said, “What on Earth are you doing?”
And she said, “I’m getting rid of evil spirits.”
Serge isn't capable of miracles,
but his reinvention from failed tennis coach
to international cult leader
feels like something approaching one.
This is a man, remember, with no medical qualifications,
yet still, people pay thousands just to hear him speak.
Although Serge lost his court fight with Esther,
maybe he still has one ace up his sleeve—
a master race of extremely tall aliens with no feet,
who he says are keeping a constant watch over humanity.
He says that with his help,
his followers can become more highly evolved
than the rest of us schmucks walking on Earth.
And he says these aliens can sniff out highly evolved humans
as they walk among us.
It is said that his spirit can smell a son of God.
Fact.
And that happens everywhere.
You can be in a train and a bus. You are being smelled all the time.
Whether these aliens are real or not,
Universal Medicine continues to grow,
and Serge continues to lead it.
