Our Honored Founding Medical Director Dr. Sturm’s contributions to the field of biological medicine began in the late 1960’s. The list of firms, methods and remedies that he introduced to North America, and around the world in all English speaking countries, is extensive. It shows his dedication to finding and teaching the best and most effective methods, and his obsession with “keeping the field clean”. Without Dr. Sturm so many methods and therapies in the field of biological medicine would be unknown in the English speaking world – or [...]

In Memoriam Dr. Walter D. Sturm (BEd, DAcu, PhD, HMD) * November 23, 1944     † July 5, 2004 Walter was a big bear of a guy with a heart of gold. “The boss” ... He loved life, lived it very full, and has without question left his mark on this planet. He was kind and passionate in a Walter sort of way. He pushed boundaries and accepted challenges, and to paraphrase another famous person – “went where no others have gone before”. (Star Trek's [...]

When Carolyn asked me to write about my newest toy, the Photon Resonance Test developed by Helmut W. Schimmel, M.D., D.M.D., it got me thinking about Dr. Walter Sturm’s passing, as well as thinking about how my practice has been influenced by Dr. Sturm and Occidental Institute. I have been in practice for 22 years as a naturopathic physician. I was first introduced to VEGA Testing twenty years ago by a British colleague. He said I would have to go to Germany for training in the VEGA Method. With [...]

“You cannot grow daisies in cement” “As the soil is, so the seed grows” All biological life requires a certain environment to thrive. The more suitable this environment to the species the stronger and the better quality of life. There are various specific characteristics required by the milieu of any given species and man is not an exception to this rule. It is interesting to observe that during an epidemic such as the flu, not everyone succumbs. Why is that? Unfortunately, Louis Pasteur proposed the theory of dis-ease based [...]

DNA Therapy with the Photon Resonance Test By Michael Kofler, MD A short article by Michael Kofler, MD. As you know, through functional medicine we have tried for quite a long time to reach into the genome for diagnosis and therapy. However, the results were not satisfactory. The reason for this is the too low diagnostic penetration depth. The Photon Resonance Test, abbreviated PRT, provided the remedy here. The possibility of penetrating into the cell nucleus produced the first opportunity due to the opening of the transcription of the [...]

Three weeks ago I read a very interesting discourse regarding electrons and water, a topic to which I’ve given considerable thought. This past Easter weekend, pondering my accumulated knowledge thereof motivated me to write this paper. Although my memory is very good, unfortunately I cannot recall each and every specific article read over the years in order to give due credit to the individual authors and sources, for which hopefully you (and they) will forgive me. Everything is electrons – including you! And, you live on electrons from your [...]

Deciding which is dominant of the MANY possible diagnoses your patient presents with, is of utmost importance for starting treatment! Deciding how to treat the patient and not the disease. Deciding to restore a biochemical balance instead of making it worse. Deciding which modalities you are going to use and which medications will produce the desired results. Quoting the late Dr. Schimmel from the forward to his book Functional Medicine, “A lot of the knowledge presented here is not yet taught at the universities”. What doctor in their right [...]

On the deadly mistakes of conventional cancer and AIDS therapists “We are biological hermaphrodites in the evolutionary scheme of life!” Raum&Zeit: Dr. Kremer, you have written a remarkable book, “Die stille Revolution der Krebs- und- AIDS Medizin” (“The Silent Revolution in Cancer and AIDS Medicine”). First a question about what AIDS has to do with cancer? Kremer: The appearance of a rare cancer form, Kaposi’s sarcoma, was first reported 20 years ago among homosexual patients in their mid-30s in the U.S.A. This was a sarcoma affecting the inner wall [...]

Overview and New Developments (Part 3) The Definition of Resonance Homeopathy Resonance Homeopathy is an application of homeopathic medications developed in 1993/1994 according to resonance principles, which are assigned to organs, organ and cell structures as well as microorganisms (fungi, bacteria), on the basis of their corresponding resonance. Through oscillations of the cell membrane, toxins are eliminated and microorganisms are brought to a state of decay. In contrast to classical homeopathy (with remedy pictures), Resonance Homeopathy is applied based on a functional and clinical diagnosis. Resonance Homeopathy is the [...]

(*May 19, 1929 †December 12, 2003) In memoriam, enclosed is our translation of his recent and unfortunately final “Resonance Homeopathy” article. Dear Research Associate: It is with greatest sadness in my heart, that I must advise you about the passing of Dr. med. dent. Helmut W. Schimmel, founder of the Vegatest method, VRT and Photon-Resonance-Test, originator of the Causal Chains and Functional Medicine concepts, formulator of the Meridian, FM and Resoplex Complexes, and much more. Carolyn and I last spoke with him at his home on October 31st (exactly [...]
