BOOK REVIEW Death by (Modern) Medicine White Coats as a Symbol of Life and Death Taken from “the Healthy Planet, St. Louis’ Green & Healthy Living Magazine”, September 2011 Death is part of life. Modern medicine saves lives. At least, I like to believe that, but death by medicine? Death by (Modern) Medicine written by Gary Null and Carolyn Dean is not what you may have in your mind. I have just read their books, Death by Medicine by Gary Null and Death by Modern Medicine by Carolyn Dean, [...]

POINTS OF INTEREST According to Chinese metaphysical studies, everything is connected within the whole universe…….between Heaven, Man/Human and Earth. The study of Feng Shui is the environmental examination of Chi/Qi between Heaven and Earth – Time and Space, and by incorporating the principles of Balance and Harmony. The Christmas celebration happens a few days after the Winter Solstice, when the Water energy is strongest – most Yin time of the year, which is reflected by the cold temperature outside, and the shortest daylight hours during the day. In order [...]

Here is my annual article for “The Bridge”. It is short, but as always the information is priceless. I owe this information to Dr Joseph Hulme, an American needle acupuncturist. Dr. Hulme was approached by the USA military to design a swift, reliable and effective analgesic sequence for the acute, traumatic and painful situations so often found by soldiers in battle zones. I have used this sequence on myself for acute sciatica, on my staff for migraine headaches and on my patients in both acute and chronic situations. I [...]

Technical Diagnostic Support in the Modern Natural Healing Practice The increasing burden on earth, water, air and food of synthetic materials (e.g. herbicides or insecticides) results in people coming into contact daily with a huge number of materials foreign to the body (unphysiological). Of course in our daily lives substances which are included in consumer goods (scented materials, preservatives, disinfectants, etc.) are not to be forgotten. In the course of life these materials are picked up by the body through respiration, [...]

The Importance of the Intermediaries of the Citric Acid Cycle for Bioregulatory Medicine The citric acid or tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) localized in the mitochondria and the interconnected electron transport chain (ETC) lead to the formation of ATP, the most important energy source of the cell. The TCA cycle is the shared final stage for the dismantling of all nutrients and is therefore the actual life preserving turntable of the metabolism. There all components of the tissues (carbohydrates, proteins and [...]

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) The Frequency of Change I’ve seen a lot of information about Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy in the last couple of years. As in many areas, there appears to be a wide variety of equipment and procedures that use this moniker. And as usual, there’s a big difference among the approaches being used. Waveforms, intensity, frequency and other variables are very diverse, covering a broad spectrum. Some machines warn people not to use them if they have a pacemaker, for instance. Some units produce an [...]

In this article I would like to present some interesting observations made during the course of this year. Before discussing these observations a broad description of geopathic stress is presented in order to help orientate those readers who are less familiar with these concepts. Geopathic Stress A vexing question for the physician is why some patients, despite excellent and appropriate therapy, fail to respond to treatment or give only a marginal response. Sometimes there is a good response only to be followed by relapse; sometimes [...]

Lyme disease, named after the famed 1975 outbreaks in Lyme, Connecticut, is often known as the “great imitator” for its frequent mimicry of many other conditions. Estimated to be under-reported by a factor of 6 to 10 in the USA alone, Lyme has often lived in the shadow of other more publicized epidemics and public health issues, such as HIV and SARS, even though in recent years, it has likely outnumbered them both (1). Further complicated by the often problematic and inconsistent diagnostic criteria and testing methods put forth [...]
