A Conversation between Carolyn and Ted Ted: Although I wanted to write a nice long beautiful article about our experiences with the AMSAT, instead I find myself sending you a sort of diary about the trials and tribulations of being a clinician. These are just some of the things that happen in life, and I suppose we just have to cope with it. Hopefully our members can take some consolation and instruction from these recent experiences. I have found out one very important thing about the AMSAT unit: it [...]

The Elimination of Intracellular Pathogens like Borrelia burgdorferi Without Antibiotics Already we encounter chronic borreliosis in the practice quite frequently. Time disguises it, sometimes more or less clearly. If, for example, innumerable therapy measures go the wrong way, if diffuse symptoms tend to mislead us, and if nothing more is as right as it should be, then more often than one supposes we have to deal with a chronic borreliosis. Virtually unnoticed a many-faced monster has crept into our global system during the last three [...]

This is interesting . . . Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some [...]

The HRV as a Therapy Prognosis Method Until recently the determination of the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) was an insignificant method in Central Europe. In a number of other countries, it indisputably belongs to conventional medicine, while in Germany even many cardiologists do not do much with it. At most it is used as an additional program for the evaluation of the 24-hour ECG. Its most widespread application is found in sports medicine, where in this respect it also appears that the Polar sports clock [...]

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 [...]
