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.

    Or, The Individual Setting I have been asked on several occasions what the individual setting of the Mora is, and how I came to discover it. When the Mora III was first launched it came with two sheets of suggested settings for various conditions including Basic Therapy. Although these suggestions sometimes made an improvement in the condition of the patient the suggestions very often did not appear to make any improvement or to offer only a minimum change. This gave me cause for concern. It also seemed wrong to me [...]

    S’pore’s first non-Chinese acupuncturist had a hard time being accepted. Race is something Justin Morais has always been very aware of. Years ago, as Singapore’s first non-Chinese acupuncturist, he had to jump through hoops to be accepted by the local acupuncture community. And by Singaporeans too. Today, none of this is evident as he tends to clients of all races and walks of life at his second-floor unit in bustling Hougang Central. Among them, you can often see Catholic nuns, expatriates and football stars. “I guess they have decided [...]

  • For Cerebral Function The old age related decrease of cognitive abilities (like perception, thinking, recognizing and remembering, up to dementia) has various causes. From the perspective of Orthomolecular Medicine the following aspects are of special interest at the same time: Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation as a cause of disturbance of the stimulus conduction or also structural impairment/degeneration Nutrients as antioxidants and inflammation inhibitors Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids as important building blocks of nerval structures Nutrients as transmitter precursors Oxidative Stress D. Harman already postulated the causal connections [...]

  • Behind the Scenes It began as the charitable sector. But, as society changed, the idea of charity, rooted in religion and noblesse oblige, fell out of favour. So, it became the voluntary sector. But, as volunteers and small donations were replaced by paid staff and government funding, that no longer fit. So, it became the non-profit sector. But, as charities resorted to profit-making activities to survive in an era of government cutbacks, that designation became uncomfortable. Now, it is testing new labels: the social benefit sector, the third sector [...]

  • Dear 2009 Members, As each of you received our summer e-mailings and communications, I am sure you realized that OIRF was once again in a state of transition. Many of the changes initiated during the summer months are outlined within my letter to all members, colleagues and friends which was mailed (by postal mail) to you on September 8. I am not going to go through all of that again here. But, for our supporting members like you, I wanted to give you a better understanding of what has [...]

  • May 2009 Submitted by: Brian L. MacCoy, NMD, Idaho, USA Question: I have a friend who got a bad cut on his head. I treated the cut only with BioPhotons and the wound healed up within 10 days without scars. Truly amazing. But, he also has quite bad psoriasis on his scalp. After the BioPhoton treatments he came back to me with the news that his psoriasis had improved markedly – and guess what? He started growing more hair! Oops, I guess we fixed it too good. At any [...]

  • Web Watch Submitted by: Justin Morais, Singapore https://naturalnews.com/ printable article Originally published October 22, 2008 (NaturalNews) Researchers from Cornell University concealed the fact that a tobacco company had funded its studies into whether lung scans can detect cancer earlier than other methods, a New York Times article has revealed. The New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) are investigating whether the studies on lung scans published in those journals were tainted by the tobacco money, or by patents that some of the [...]

    How Alkalinizing Agents Can Reduce the Risk of Cancer Over the last few years there has been much scholarly discussion about the efficacy of alkalinizing agents in the treatment of cancer. It is widely understood that cancer thrives in an acidic environment and that by making the metabolic terrain more alkaline, it is possible to reduce the incidence of cancer metastasis. Dr. Tullio Simoncini, an Italian oncologist, for example, has become known for his treatments of certain forms of cancer by altering the pH levels of the terrain from [...]

  • After years of telling people chemotherapy is the only way to try (’try’, being the key word) to eliminate cancer, Johns Hopkins is finally starting to tell you there is an alternative way. Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins: Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable [...]
