The recent Mayr Level III Training Program held in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada was a great success. This was the first of its kind held outside of Austria, and only the third ever Level III in English. Attendees of the two-week training program naturally were required to undergo the “Mayr Cure” themselves, as well as attend twice daily seminar/hands-on sessions. The twenty participants came from Africa, Australia, and all over North America. The instructor was Dr. Ernst Kojer from Vienna, Austria. He is one of only two official Mayr [...]

For practitioners with no regular cleaning program – read on please, for the good of your practice, your fellow practitioners, and of course your patients. Having attended seminars and talked to practitioners from all over the country, I [...]

A Tour Through The O.I.R.F. Library We have had many requests lately for information on Bio-photons. This introductory non-technical article will try to demystify bio-photons, and provide enough information to serve as a starting point for further research and discussions. We can start with a basic dictionary definition. The McGraw Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms defines Photons as “a massless particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic field, carrying energy, momentum and angular momentum”. The New Physics goes further and adds “the least unit of light of a [...]

Key Principles That You Need To Know Water Water is everywhere. In fact, water makes up approximately 70% to 80% of our bodies, and performs the crucial and important task of eliminating unwanted toxins and salts from our bodies. Water can be called the essence of life itself, yet despite the important roles that water plays in our health, sadly, it is greatly under appreciated. Drinking plenty of good water is an important aspect of many therapy programs, and to maintaining a healthy body. Of course, it goes almost [...]

Over the summer and fall of 1994, Dr. Walter Sturm, along with the OIRF staff and directors began a project that was intended as an ongoing project to publish the information and experience of the many affiliated international and North American practitioners of Biological Medicine (a term coined by Occidental Institute in the mid-1980s as the organization moved back into Canada and became the non-profit Research Foundation). The goal was to become a “bridge” between the innovation, information and development in this field in Germany and English speaking practitioners [...]

Occidental Institute of Chinese Studies (OICS) opened its doors on July 2, 1972 in Weston, Ontario Canada with a partially completed Extension Training Program for Modern and Traditional Acupuncture, becoming the first recognized training organization for acupuncture in North America. With moves to Montreal, Quebec Canada and then on to Miami, Florida USA, “The Institute” expanded to include a full-time staff of eight, completed the Extension Training Program, sponsored month-long resident training programs and developed many advanced programs and resource materials. That thirty-one lesson acupuncture program was expanded with [...]

Brochure Notes and History This brochure represents one of Walter’s first “rants” and already you can see the rebel showing through. I expect it was initially written during early 1973 as we struggled to set up the full Lesson structure for the Modern and Traditional Acupuncture course. Classified advertising was placed in hundreds of magazines, newsletters, journals and papers for this course. If memory serves me, it was $39 (US or CDN) for the first three lessons. From opening our doors on July 2, 1972 through to mid-1974, we [...]
