I must admit that it is somewhat bittersweet to close this final 2012 edition of “The Bridge” in this format. Although we will be invading your Inbox on a regular basis, this newsletter will have a considerably different look. By discontinuing our paid subscription, we are endeavoring to bring this information to a much wider readership without the restriction of membership. We thank our long standing members who have supported us over the years. To all of our colleagues and friends of OIRF, it is your continued support that [...]

FAQs Question: Hey Carolyn, after talking to you about the MORA and BioResonance I also talked to the people at BICOM. In the end I decided to purchase their device – they say they are the original BioResonance but their device was quite expensive. Why does OIRF only recommend the MORA? Is it because you have a distributorship for Med-Tronik? Answer: Thanks for this question which really covers a lot of different things. First, I am sorry to hear that you chose BICOM over MORA, and I know that [...]

How often are we asked to give our “evidence base” for the very effective treatments that we give? How often are the people who ask these questions really not interested in what we do and only see us as inconvenient irritants to their version of the truth and as competition that should be rooted out? I believe that there is a place for empirical medicine along side of conventional medicine. Especially when conventional medicine does not have a safe or effective treatment, like for example [...]

Borreliosis –in the media it is raged like a deadly beast as incurable. Nevertheless, most information which circulates to such an extent about this illness is absolutely wrong, claims our author Marlene Kunold. For many years she has specialized in the treatment of chronic borreliosis and is known for her highly successful cures. For raum&zeit she explains how she proceeds with the treatment of this new plague, and at the same time what meaning a new light therapy has. Borreliosis patients [...]

As we approach the end of another year and suffer the loss of yet another pioneer, I felt compelled to repeat once again why those tried and true methods that Dr. Walter Sturm used in his busy but highly specialized practice continue to be recommended so strongly by OIRF. And primarily, it is because these are the methods and techniques that have allowed so many practitioners to build a long term successful practice! Join with me as I take you on a verbal tour of Dr. Sturm’s office and [...]

The Crisis in Biological Medicine in North America Over the past few years we have witnessed the continuing losses of the men and women who pioneered this field of Biological Medicine, and who have struggled so hard to find, research and apply those methods which are most effective. However even in light of these losses, I cannot yet see where the “next generation” – the “younger” practitioners – are stepping forward to take on the research work necessary to support the continuation of these methods into the future. Think [...]

Using Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy Allergy is one of those topics that generate a great deal of debate. There is even disagreement about basics, such as what allergies are, the mechanisms of allergy reactions, methods of testing, etc. I am not going to address these issues here, as there are volumes of information available. Rather, I am going to present a brief description of a method of therapy I’ve developed by combining and expanding two separate approaches. Sensitivity Removal Technique (SRT) [...]

POINTS OF INTEREST Global burden of cancers attributable to infections in 2008: a review and synthetic analysis Catherine de Martel MD, Jacques Ferlay ME, Silvia Franceschi MD, Jérôme Vignat MSc, Freddie Bray PhD, David Forman PhD, Dr Martyn Plummer PhD Summary Background Infections with certain viruses, bacteria, and parasites have been identified as strong risk factors for specific cancers. An update of their respective contribution to the global burden of cancer is warranted. Methods We considered infectious agents classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research [...]

Introduction: Since the causal connection between the papillomavirus and cervical cancer was investigated, such a [connection] also seems to exist with other tumor and virus types. On the other hand, the use of “vaccination viruses” in the tumor fight is also explored in the framework of virus therapy. Oncolytic viruses are able to increase selectively in the tissues of the tumors and metastases and to attack these. An effective point of attack could also be identified by the evidence of stem cells in the tumor conglomerate. For virus therapy [...]
