Web Watch Submitted by our own Esther Treitl, November 2008 (no source available) The food additive MSG (Mono-Sodium Glutamate) is a slow poison. MSG hides behind 25 or more names, such as ‘Natural Flavoring’. MSG is even in your favorite coffee from Tim Horton's and Starbucks coffee shops! I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic, and so did a friend of mine, John Erb. He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, and spent years working for [...]

Selye’s triad of intoxication explains why medical doctors, why all of us make mistakes. Why? Because we are looking in the wrong places for the CAUSE of the disease. Most allopathic treatments and many complementary treatments focus on the end result of illnesses. This is easy. It doesn’t need much brain power. It’s easy to explain to patients. Not complicated. Good for business. However, it doesn’t get our patients cured. I define HEALTH as being ORGANISED CHAOS. Healthy systems LOOK totally organized. BUT you cannot predict the outcome. Having [...]

"Nature trumps all, and when she wishes to correct the insanity of our plans for her planet, we are helpless to stop or even slow her down.” My world burned on June 24th of this year. I witnessed its genesis on a beautiful Big Sur summer day, clear and warm, the Pacific luminescent in the afternoon sun. And then, from the north, 3 small, innocent, tumbling clouds, passing overhead barely noticed, until... Boom. Five rapid lightning strikes: 4 over the ocean and 1 touching down half a mile south [...]

As I have watched the federal elections unfold in Canada and the USA, I have been constantly astounded by the apathy of the majority of the citizens in each country. I found Mr. Letterman’s comments timely – and applicable in almost every country of the so called “civilized” West. CLWS What are we so unhappy about? David Letterman wrote this; it's the David we don't often see... “As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but [...]

Web Watch “While working for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, I monitored two major projects for FDA, in addition to other product investigations. These projects concerned Pesticides and Chemicals in Foods, and Illegal Drug Tissue Residues in Animals. I worked closely with sister federal and state agencies, oversaw contract compliance, and was coordinator and lead investigator on projects involving FDA, EPA and USDA. The toxicology, histology and biochemistry of aspartame (aka: NutraSweet, Equal, etc.) is neurotoxic. The aspartame components injure the blood-brain barrier, allowing easy passage, and will [...]

Stand by for Designer Pain Pills From NewsMax/October 2008 In the not-too-distant future, the pain reliever you take may be fine-tuned to your body. Dr. Dennis Patin, an associate professor of clinical anesthesiology at the University of Miami Medical School, says future pain medications will be tailored to work within the genetic roadmap of each person. “We’ll use samples of blood or body tissue to identify how a person metabolizes a drug, and what medication . . . is precisely best for an individual,” he asserts. This approach, known [...]

We have all learned the standard interpretation of EAV measurement values (see previous article, The Bridge, Vol. 4, Issue #4). These interpretations hold true when most of the measurements are in a normal range (50-64) and stable, but what do we do when all measurements return pathological values? It is not uncommon to find that every “nail” point returns a high value with or without an i.d. If we interpret this according to the standard interpretations then we have to assume that the patient is very unwell – every [...]

October 2008 Dear Members: Those of you who joined us on Tour #30, in May 2004 when we went to see Dr. Geßwein in Bonn, or on several other Tour pro­grams where we attended International Symposiums, will remember hearing Dr. Gerhard Ohlenschläger. I remember him so clearly. A big man, not too mobile in his later years, but always a presence that inspired and challenged everyone he met – a man who even Dr. Fritz-Albert Popp considered a respected mentor. I remember a time during a Med-Tronik Symposium when [...]
