As Occidental Institute has worked, struggled and survived through 43 years of research and education in the fields of Acupuncture (TCM) and Biological Medicine we have witnessed, and often participated in, several cycles of acceptance and persecution that have directly affected patients, practitioners and educators. Within the Naturopathic community we have seen a strong shift to “prescribing”. Studying is done, exams are taken and that coveted permission to prescribe medications, supplements and homeopathics is achieved. In many ways this is closer to the traditional practices of the German Heilpraktikers. [...]

I’m going to switch gears a little bit in this article. However, one can conceive of the neurotransmitters as the interface of physical and energetic regulation.

Guest Editorial Two virus newsmakers, Ebola in 2014 and measles in 2015, both appear to be on the wane. Ebola is notably having a drop in its fatality rate, and there is no apparent explanation. Physicians who work for the international medical group Doctors Without Borders have observed that a higher percentage of treated patients are surviving Ebola – 50% instead of a 40% survival seen in 2014.

ABSTRACT Energy is the substance of life. Without the understanding of energy, medical professionals cannot possibly comprehend the significant role that energy plays in medicine. We could not imagine a hospital today without the diagnostic capabilities of X-Ray, MRI, EEG, and EKG. All of these techniques measure and report the energy of a particular part of the body. The author’s hope is that this article will widen the reader’s perspective, understanding, and use of Energy Medicine which, ideally, should complement patient care. Keywords: Energy Medicine, Electromagnetism, Biofeedback, Focused Field [...]
