Many practitioners are stating that they do “Energy Medicine”. What does this mean? I would like to provide some areas of thought, questions, and possible research. Do you practice Energy Medicine? If so, what is your definition of energy? What types of energy do you measure, diagnose, and treat? How do you do this? What effect does your treatment have (both long-term and short-term), and where is it acting? What is your definition of medicine? If you’ve gotten this far without being able to answer these questions in a [...]

Commentary submitted by Dr. Brian L. Mac Coy August 28, 2007 Two German physicists claim to have done the impossible and broken the speed of light. If their claims are confirmed, they will have proved wrong Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity, which requires an infinite amount of energy to propel an object at more than 299,792,458 meters per second. However Dr Gunter Nimtz and Dr Alfons Stahlhofen, from the University of Koblenz, say they have possibly breached a key tenet of that theory. They say they have conducted [...]

Commentary submitted by Dr. Brian L. Mac Coy The field of physics worships at the altar of c, the velocity of light. It is widely regarded as the inviolate constant which affects all things: from our knowledge of astronomy to the very behavior of subatomic particles. The idea that the speed of light is constant and unbreachable is at the foundation of modern physics and it is a key factor in Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity, which led to his deduction E=mc2 (in which the total amount of [...]

When Carolyn invited me to write an article for ORIF I was very honored but left with the puzzle of what to contribute. Walter and Carolyn, together with OIRF staff have earned my respect over many years because of the wonderful job that they have done in bringing knowledge of biological medicine to so many people. Over a period of at least 35 years they have covered so much material that it is difficult to know where to start. On reflection I have decided to start at the beginning [...]

Low Protein versus High Protein Diets: Their Effects on the body's pH levels. Abstract It is the argument of this paper that a low protein, low carbohydrate diet is health promoting, while current high protein diets can be injurious to health. The findings in this paper are drawn from a literature based survey on pH levels – the balance of acid and alkaline within the body – and the contribution that diet may make either to disease or to the promotion of health. Debates about [...]

“Do we hesitate lest the wrath laid upon Jack Kevorkian visit our young and vulnerable profession?” For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven . . . (1) I was listening out of the corner of my ear to National Public Radio the other morning when my attention was snagged by an interview with one particular author. His fictional plot is rather audacious, involving an unusual legislative solution to the social and economic impact of aging baby boomers: voluntary euthanasia. This is not [...]

The Phenomena of the Extracellular Matrix As an Attractor for Waste Products Summary The circadian rhythm of the acid-base flooding in the extracellular matrix (ECM) is in feedback as the physiological basis of cell metabolism. The ECM is connected through the sodium chloride cycle to the circadian rhythm of the liver. Deviations from these feedbacks are always connected with a latent acidosis as a starting point for the ‘clogging up with waste products’ of the ECM. This is measurable in a chronic acid pH of [...]

China’s economy has been growing at a rate of nearly 10 percent annually for the last 30 years, largely because they are exporting massive amounts of products across the globe. They’re widely known for producing affordable (cheap) goods, and in the past year alone have made quite the name for themselves as a producer of toxic goods as well. Along with tainted toothpaste laced with anti-freeze, the United States has been grappling with a string of toxic disasters in the last year alone: Pet food ingredients laced with toxic [...]

I wanted to start off this “commercial” portion of the September newsletters with some personal comments. You can see from the history of OIRF included in this issue of “The Bridge” that recommendation (and subsequent sales) of quality German instrumentation has been an integral part of the Institute almost from the beginning. We have been a legitimate non-profit organization since our return to Canada in 1984, and thus the commercial aspects of selling this instrumentation had to be done carefully. Of course the flip side of that legitimacy coin [...]
