From Paper to Digital
Some of the earliest OIRF newsletters, dating back to the 1980s, were printed and mailed (yes, by postal mail) to practitioners worldwide. These have now been recreated and added to the archive. Even in those early editions, the concept of an “information bridge linking practitioners” inspired both the newsletter’s title and its bridge-themed banners. Many of these early treasures can be found here or in the Treasures from the Vault section.

The Bridge Newsletter
In the early 2000s, “The Bridge” became a regular monthly publication, featuring articles by advisors and directors along with many contributions from the German and European journals precisely translated into English.

Praxis2Practice Today
Since OIRF’s closure in 2018, Carolyn has continued reviewing German and English-language journals, publishing a monthly blog/newsletter – many articles now also included here – featuring timely commentary and resources relevant to daily practice.

We hope this archive supports your knowledge and professional growth in Biological and Energy Medicine.

  • Here is the translation that I’ve worked away on over the past few weeks. Because this is political in nature, the vocabulary is not as familiar to me as medical terminology. And of course, since the article is written by a veteran and highly respected journalist and journalism teacher, I wanted to make sure I translated what he actually said (implications and all) rather than interpret what I thought he meant. I must say too, that this could only ever have been published in that amazing contemporary journal raum&zeit [...]

  • September, 2020 As summer fades and fall brings changing colors and rainy days, I have wondered how long we, as a people, will continue to relinquish our freedom and grant authority to unelected health authorities under the pretense of safety and protection. Along with almost everyone, I have resigned myself to wearing a face covering in many public situations and whenever meeting clients and patients; waiting in lines six feet apart just to enter the bank; and, registering in the “guest book” to enter a restaurant. Travel has been [...]

  • Society The Virus of Freedom’s Oblivion Freedom? Where Does the Corona Crisis Lead Us? It looks like an apple with thorns on it. In truth however, the Corona Virus could enter into history as the wrecking ball of our democracy and of our rights and freedoms. Roland Rottenfußer about the beginnings of a new dictatorship. Dignity Almost all fundamental rights that were considered self-evident up to now are a façade in the course of the Corona crisis. The authorities lock us [...]

  • Infections Vaccinations Against COVID-19 Considerations of Different Immunization Procedures The “new Coronavirus” and the SARS-CoV-2* pandemic caused by it is still keeping the world in suspense. The more or less strict quarantine measures (Lockdown), that continued even through the whole of April, seemed to at least succeed in limiting the increase of new illnesses. However, the price for it was a paralyzed public life and an economy on low flame. Nevertheless, worldwide there were over 4.6 million medical cases and more than 300,000 deaths were [...]

  • August 2020 The flood of information regarding the virus situation continues non-stop, and it frequently becomes a struggle to step back from the day-to-day detail or to perceive the broader global picture. Additionally, because of the powerful censorship of all alternative or divergent information and the ongoing public relations exercise of the mainstream media, it is difficult to peer around behind. I frequently think back to the “early days” of this crisis that has consumed our attention since the beginning of 2020, and wonder how everything has gone so [...]

  • Homeopathy On the Way to Integrative Medicine The Role of Natural Medicine in Connection with the Weak Points of Orthodox Medicine The head of the Klinik für Naturheilkunde, Prof. Dr. med. André-Michael Beer was asked during an interview whether he has a vision for natural medicine. His response: “He wishes an integrative medicine, in which natural medicine and school [orthodox] medicine are united on eye level without rivalry”. [This is] also worthwhile in my opinion – but, we are far away from such a position [...]

  • Must we accept? Must we adjust? Should we – or are we allowed to – question the restrictions? It is obvious that we are universally being manipulated and controlled, since no one is allowed to speak or write any opposing opinion to that which is being force-fed through the mainstream media. We are all supposed to believe that the unending and tragic statistics blared across our TVs and electronic media represent the only truth – and the whole truth – about this virus. For most people, this is their [...]

  • raum&zeit Point of Health Germany in Corona Fever Strengthen the Body’s Defenses Physically and Psychologically Spring and sunshine invite us to plunge into life again after winter. However, fear of the virus and the official measures do not make it easy for us to let in the sun. The physician and psychotherapist Ruediger Dahlke casts his renowned clear, cryptic view of this momentary unusual situation and recommends: Let us treasure the use of natural healing methods. Let us learn to give hearing to the controversial [...]

  • raum&zeit Point of Health Together for Healing from Corona It is High Time To Think About Homeopathy Petition: Homeopathy and Natural Healing Methods Unite – Strongly Provide Support for Epidemics. The team from United to Heal would like to launch a petition: “We are for a reformation in the treatment of infectious diseases and chronic illnesses. We would like to request the government to incorporate complementary healing methods equally within the treatment of our fellow man. We stand up for a renewal of our health systems.” Info and Contact [...]

  • Editorial News from the Virus Quagmire Dear Readers, You can no longer avoid the topic; it controls the world. Every day in Africa countless children still starve, desperate refugees stand at the gates to Europe (strictly speaking, why is there no pandemic there?), but this is all nothing versus the Corona danger . . . because of fear of the spread of the virus the world has pressed STOP. The consequence of this is that Greta Thunberg has become jobless, because if it continues this way, we will have [...]
