Glad you're here!

A warm welcome!

I have a special dream, just as we all have dreams. What is yours?
Mine is to become a doctor; I would like to find my place in emergency care as an emergency physician. I am a fifth-year medical student, and I am asking for your help to complete medical school, but I believe I can also give you something in return (and this does not depend on your support, which does not necessarily have to be financial).

Introduction

I am Gergely Gábor PAPP, a fifth-year medical student. I graduated from secondary school in 1995 in Esztergom, at the Temesvári Pelbárt Franciscan Secondary School, better known as Franka. I live in Pécs with my wife, Emese. We have been married since 2001 and have four children.

In 1999, I graduated from the joint English-language "integrated engineer" BSc program run by the former Kandó Kálmán and Bánki Donát technical colleges and Nottingham Trent University. I then spent five years working as a social worker with children who had fallen through the cracks, mainly Roma children, in Budapest's eighth district. From autumn 2004, I worked as an engineer in Baranya county (Hungary), then in Austria because of the economic crisis, and later back home again until 2020.

In 2013, I joined the village’s volunteer fire brigade, where I enrolled in the newly relaunched “firefighter first responder” training within the modular education system. Before long, I became the designated first responder of the department. I soon realized that this also meant I would be responsible for providing initial care to injured persons at road traffic accidents until the ambulance arrived. Since I had never seen blood before, I decided to begin the Austrian Red Cross volunteer emergency medical technician training, which I completed with distinction. Until the end of 2019, I spent more than 2,000 hours on duty, mostly during night shifts.During this time, I took part in the care of approximately 250–300 patients: from transporting a woman in labor, through hyperventilation, febrile seizures, and syncope, to “knife‑in‑the‑abdomen” situations, self‑harm in psychiatric emergencies, and acute myocardial infarctions.

Our youngest child, Soma, was born in 2016 while we were still in Austria. Sadly, he arrived as a premature baby at 28 weeks' gestation, weighing 1,372 g, almost three months earlier than expected. My wife moved into the hospital with him for several weeks. Those of us who remained at home experienced, day after day, the warmth, competence, kindness, patience, and love of the nurses and doctors caring for them at University Hospital Salzburg (SALK), and later at St. Joseph's Hospital in Braunau. Thank God, Soma grew up without any major complication, and this year, as a big boy, he is already in second grade at primary school.

Influenced by our experiences in ambulance service and in the hospital with a premature infant, I thought that perhaps my life would be more valuable if I could help others as a doctor. For my birthday, I received textbooks from my family, and two years later I retook my A levels. This time in biology and physics, at advanced level, because that was what admission required. I was not sure whether I would be accepted, and even less sure how we would make a living if I started medical school. Studying was a joy in itself, and I felt that if God had planted this thought in my heart, He would surely provide everything needed for it. In the end, instead of the 423 points required for admission, I achieved 463 points, and thanks to the support of my family, friends, and many other good people, I can now be a fifth-year student.

In 2025, I received support through the grant program of the Dr. László Batthyány-Strattmann Medical Association.

The Career Cocktail, the podcast channel of the Career Office of the University of Pécs, also recorded a conversation with me. Listen here. (Year 2 #5 Career change and calling - the path from engineering to the medical vocation)

 

I was also featured in the PTE Alumni 2025/2026 magazine. Look for me on page 63.

To keep covering tuition and our living expenses, and so that I can focus on studying, I need further supporters. But you can also help my mission a lot without money; you can read how here.

I have written short, fifty-word stories about my experiences in ambulance service. They are currently being prepared for publication, and I am happy to share them with you and send them to you free of charge while supplies last. I have posted a few stories here as well, and you can also read more about the little book here.

I trust that what you can read on this website will be useful for you, your loved ones, or people you know. If any of them are living with allergies, often need to take pain relievers, would like support for smoking cessation, perhaps want weight-loss support, or are living with depression, please direct them here. 

I hope we will meet in person one day. Until then, I will gladly reply to your message.
God bless you!

WARNING

Attention!

On this website you can find information about how I was able to discontinue the medication that had been prescribed for symptomatic treatment. (I will refer to this as the “method” from here on.) You may feel that you would also like to try reducing — or possibly discontinuing — the medication you take for symptomatic treatment in a similar way.

Before you actually try this, you MUST TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST AND SHOW THEM THIS WEBSITE, so that—being aware of the research findings presented here—they can help you determine whether the “method” poses any risk to your health.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU ATTEMPT TO DISCONTINUE OR ARBITRARILY REPLACE ANY MEDICATION THAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE NOT ONLY WHEN SYMPTOMS APPEAR, BUT BECAUSE OF AN EXISTING ILLNESS OR MEDICAL CONDITION (e.g., blood thinners, blood pressure medication, insulin, etc.). STOPPING THESE MEDICATIONS CAN LEAD TO A DETERIORATION OF YOUR HEALTH AND, IN THE WORST CASE, MAY EVEN RESULT IN DEATH.

This also applies to vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, and similar substances that the body cannot produce (in sufficient quantities) even in a healthy state, yet relies on them heavily.

The author of this website, the researchers involved, and the doctors or other individuals appearing on the site assume no responsibility for your health condition, as they do not know you or your medical status or illnesses!

If the “method” works for you as well (as it did for me and for some of my acquaintances), and you are able to reduce or replace your symptomatic medications, YOU SHOULD STILL CARRY THESE MEDICATIONS WITH YOU AS YOU USED TO. There may be situations in which, due to certain circumstances (for example, an infectious illness), the previously experienced placebo effect does not occur, and you may end up needing them after all.

WARNUNG

Achtung!

Auf dieser Website findest du Informationen darüber, wie es mir gelungen ist, mein zur symptomatischen Behandlung eingesetztes Medikament abzusetzen. (Dies bezeichne ich im Folgenden als ‚Methode‘.) Es kann sein, dass du darüber nachdenkst, auf ähnliche Weise die Menge deiner symptomatisch wirkenden Medikamente zu reduzieren oder sie möglicherweise ganz abzusetzen.

Bevor du dies tatsächlich ausprobieren würdest, SPRICH AUF JEDEN FALL MIT DEINER BEHANDELNDEN ÄRZTIN/ARZT ODER DEINER APOTHEKERIN/APOTHEKER UND ZEIGE IHNEN DIESE WEBSITE, damit sie anhand der hier dargestellten Forschungsergebnisse gemeinsam mit dir beurteilen können, ob die ‚Methode‘ kein Risiko für deine Gesundheit darstellt.

AUF KEINEN FALL darfst du ein Medikament absetzen oder eigenmächtig ersetzen, das du nicht nur bei akuten Symptomen einnimmst, sondern aufgrund einer bestehenden Erkrankung oder eines dauerhaften Gesundheitszustands benötigst! (z. B. Blutverdünner, Blutdrucksenker, Insulin usw.) Das Absetzen solcher Medikamente kann zu einer Verschlechterung deines Gesundheitszustands führen und im schlimmsten Fall sogar lebensbedrohlich sein!

Dies gilt ebenso für Vitamine, Mineralstoffe, essenzielle Aminosäuren usw., die der Körper selbst im gesunden Zustand nicht (in ausreichender Menge) herstellen kann, auf die er jedoch dringend angewiesen ist.

AUF KEINEN FALL DARFST DU EIN MEDIKAMENT ABSETZEN ODER EIGENMÄCHTIG ERSETZEN, DAS DU NICHT BEI AUFTRETEN DEINER SYMPTOME EINNIMMST, SONDERN AUFGRUND DEINER BESTEHENDEN ERKRANKUNG ODER DEINES ZUSTANDS REGELMÄSSIG BENÖTIGST! (z. B. Blutverdünner, Blutdrucksenker, Insulin usw.) DAS ABSETZEN DIESER MITTEL KANN NÄMLICH ZU EINER VERSCHLECHTERUNG DEINES GESUNDHEITSZUSTANDS FÜHREN UND IM SCHLIMMSTEN FALL SOGAR ZUM TOD FÜHREN!

Das gilt auch für Vitamine, Mineralstoffe, essenzielle Aminosäuren … usw., die unser Körper selbst im gesunden Zustand nicht (in ausreichender Menge) herstellen kann, aber dringend benötigt.

Der Autor dieser Seite, die an der Forschung beteiligten Personen sowie die auf der Website genannten Ärztinnen, Ärzte und anderen Fachpersonen übernehmen keinerlei Verantwortung für deinen Gesundheitszustand, da sie weder dich noch deinen Zustand oder deine Erkrankungen kennen!

„Wenn die ‚Methode‘ auch bei dir funktioniert (so wie bei mir oder einigen meiner Bekannten) und du deine symptomatischen Medikamente reduzieren oder ersetzen kannst, SOLLTEST DU DIESE MEDIKAMENTE TROTZDEM WEITERHIN WIE GEWOHNT BEI DIR TRAGEN. Es kann nämlich vorkommen, dass unter bestimmten Umständen (z. B. bei einer Infektionskrankheit) die zuvor erlebte Placebowirkung ausbleibt und du das Medikament doch benötigst.”

 

FIGYELMEZTETÉS

Figyelem! 

Ezen a honlapon információkat találhatsz arra vonatkozólag, hogy hogyan tudtam elhagyni a tüneti kezelésre szolgáló gyógyszeremet. (Ezt nevezem a továbbiakban „módszernek”.) Előfordulhat, hogy úgy gondolod, Te is megpróbálnád hasonló módon tüneti kezelésre szolgáló gyógyszereid mennyiségét csökkenteni, vagy esetleg azt elhagyni.

Mielőtt ezt valóban kipróbálnád MINDENKÉPPEN BESZÉLJ KEZELŐORVOSODDAL VAGY GYÓGYSZERÉSZEDDEL ÉS MUTASD MEG NEKI EZT A HONLAPOT, hogy az itt található kutatási eredmények ismeretében segíteni tudjon Neked eldönteni, hogy a “módszer” nem jelent-e veszélyt az egészségedre. 

SEMMIFÉLEKÉPPEN  NE PRÓBÁLJ MEG OLYAN GYÓGYSZERT ELHAGYNI, VAGY ÖNKÉNYESEN HELYETTESÍTENI, AMELYET NEM A TÜNETEID MEGJELENÉSEKOR KELL HASZNÁLNOD, HANEM A MEGLÉVŐ BETEGSÉGED VAGY ÁLLAPOTOD MIATT SZÜKSÉGES SZEDNED! (pl. vérhígító, vérnyomáscsökkentő, inzulin, stb.). EZEK ELHAGYÁSA UGYANIS EGÉSZSÉGI ÁLLAPOTOD ROMLÁSÁVAL JÁRHAT, LEGROSSZABB ESETBEN HALÁLHOZ IS VEZETHETNEK! Ez vonatkozik vitaminokra, ásványi anyagokra, esszenciális aminosavakra … stb. is, amelyeket a testünk egészséges állapotában sem tud (elegendő mennyiségben) előállítani, viszont nagy szüksége van rájuk.

Az oldal szerzője, a kutatásban részt vevő vagy a honlapon szereplő orvosok, személyek semmiféle felelősséget nem vállalnak az egészségügyi állapotodat illetően, hiszen nem ismernek Téged, sem az állapotodat, betegségeidet!

Amennyiben a „módszer” Neked is beválik, (mint nálam vagy más ismerőseim esetében is történt) és tüneti gyógyszereidet csökkenteni tudod, vagy ki tudod váltani, EZEN GYÓGYSZEREIDET AKKOR IS KORÁBBI SZOKÁSODNAK MEGFELELŐEN HORDD MAGADDAL. Előfordulhat ugyanis, hogy bizonyos körülmények között (pl. fertőzéses megbetegedés esetén) a korábban megtapasztalt placebo hatás nem jelentkezik, és mégiscsak szükséged lesz rá.
