History of North Carolina Medical Practice Act Changes 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' (George Santayana – 1905). In a 1948 speech to the House of Commons, Sir Winston Churchill changed the quote slightly when he paraphrased it: 'Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.' Following is a transcript of a recording by John Wilson, MD of Asheville, North Carolina documenting the history of the changes to the Medical Practice Act of North Carolina. My [...]

We can offer thanks to many men and women for inspiration and understanding as we continue to learn and utilize energy and Biological Medicine. “Albert Einstein taught us through E = mc2 that all things in life emit vibrational frequencies and that all things are simply energy in different vibrational forms. Basically, this means every cell that makes up you is energy.” Prof. Dr. Fritz-Albert Popp taught us the explanation that photons, light particles, are the fundamental communication carrier of the cells within our bodies. Light travels, moves and [...]

A Few Updates, Reminders and a “Happy Holidays” Greeting! 06 December2018 Dear Colleagues and Friends, As the weeks and months have passed, it has taken more time and effort to actually close OIRF honorably than I would have ever imagined. But I believe that I have finally reached the point where all the chores are completed and I can now look forward to the projects and activities that are not so pressing. This allows me the freedom to work on the many projects, translations and commentaries that led me [...]

14 August 2018 Dear Colleagues, Friends and Supporters of the former Occidental Institute, It has now been several weeks since the doors of Occidental Institute Research Foundation made that final closing “kathunk” and freed me from all its business and corporate obligations and responsibilities. Although they tell me I’m supposed to be “retired” I haven’t been idle. It does however take time and some thoughtful introspection to look at the future possibilities and consider how I will go forward into this next chapter of my life. During these weeks [...]

Policy Statement Regarding Med-Tronik and MORA Therapy You will have read my personal letter regarding the closure of Occidental Institute with the very careful reference to “external but inalterable changes to our commercial distributorship contracts representing the loss of our major financial fund-raising ability”. Sadly, the outcome of those changes has now become irrevocable. Because you are a supporter and friend of OIRF, I would like to make a clear statement to you regarding those events and changes. Over the past ten years, and since the registration of the [...]

Monday, 11 June 2018 Dear Colleagues, Friends and Supporters of OIRF, Welcome to the Volume 14, Final Issue #6 of “The Bridge” newsletter! Welcome, but as you can see from my linked personal letter and announcement, also a fond farewell both to “The Bridge” and to OIRF. Although stressful and in many ways heartbreaking over the past few weeks, I finally feel comfortable that we have made the right decisions. Now, I am looking forward to the end of June and the end of this wonderful company that has [...]

11 June 2018 RE: Announcement Regarding Occidental Institute My Dear Colleagues, Friends and Supporters of OIRF, Today I write to you with mixed feelings. We here at OIRF have passed through another one of those crossroads in time that change our pathway into the future forever. This transition has been a long time in the making but has been hurried to a conclusion after external but inalterable changes to our commercial distributorship contracts representing the loss of our major financial fund-raising ability. Within a few short weeks OIRF would [...]

With Degenerative Challenges Foreword All of us have lurking in our DNA a most remarkable gene whose job is to protect us from the activation and results of faulty mechanisms; the most dramatic end point may be cancer. This gene and its cofactors constantly scan our cells to ensure that when they grow and divide as part of the routine maintenance of our bodies, they do so without mishap. However, if a cell “makes a mistake” due to the overwhelming onslaught of environmental, pathogenic, emotional [...]
