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 [...]

An Excerpt from a commentary entitled: “The Legend of Evidence-Based Medicine” “Healthcare was never meant to end the suffering of our world, or the pain and trials of human existence, but to act alongside law, religion, and politics to guide us toward the general direction of evolution, of growth, of a god. At its simplest, healthcare is a belief system that continues to develop as long as time continues to flow, nudging us to let go of that which does not work and accept that which does, encouraging us [...]

Through a decline in use of Hormone Therapies Since the summer of 2002 American women have clearly taken fewer hormone replacement therapies. And some months later the rate of breast cancer patients began to sink in a conspicuous manner. A statistical evaluation drawn up by a team [working] with Peter Ravdin at the University of Texas emphasized this connection. Between 1990 and 1998 the rate of breast cancer cases had regularly increased about 1.7 percent per year. The following years it regularly decreased about 1 percent per year. Then [...]
