Introduction This year’s article for “The Bridge” has proven to be more difficult than expected. I had intended to write about more specific techniques related to EAV but I have come to realise that this may not be appropriate. During the past year I have travelled in Europe, Russia, and Canada giving presentations in each country visited. I have been mildly surprised at the lack of questions or criticism that has arisen. When presenting new material or experience I had expected some degree of discussion and criticism which would [...]

Director’s Note: I have blatantly borrowed (verbatim) the following commentary out of IMCJ without permission and all credit goes directly to Dr. Benda and the IMCJ.

The following editorial is taken from: IMCJ, Integrative Medicine; A Clinician’s Journal, Vol. 9, No. 2, Apr/May 2010. BACK TALK “Frankly, our concept of ‘evidence’ [...]

It seems the past months have been sad ones as we have lost more of the “old rabbits” of our field. For some mystical reason we are seeing ever more losses of those who have been the innovators and the guiding lights of biological medicine. In this issue it is my sad duty to inform you about the passing of two more great men, Dr. med. Dieter Hager and the engineer Erich Rasche. Such losses seem to lend me words along with the tears. We have lost so many [...]

Flu vaccines revealed as the greatest quackery ever pushed n the history of medicine (NaturalNews) Prepare to have your world rocked. What you're about to read here will leave you astonished, inspired and outraged all at the same time. You're about to be treated to some little-known information demonstrating why seasonal flu vaccines are utterly worthless and why their continued promotion is based entirely on fabricated studies and medical mythology. If the whole world knew what you're about to read here, the vaccine industry would collapse overnight. This information [...]

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 [...]

I am most impressed by the fact that your publication has done so much to bring our many alternative methods into a more favorable light with conventional medicine. Our Occidental Institute was initially founded in 1972 and has been dedicated to bringing reliable, yet practical, information concerning alternative (or your so called “fringe”) methods to [...]

February 2009 Dear Members: The following article was submitted to us by Dr. med. Juliane Sacher, Frankfurt Germany. I hesitated to include it in our newsletter for a number of reasons, and subsequently followed up with a fairly extensive web and literature search for further information. Dr. Andrew Maniotis gives his credentials and background on this website: http://www.novaccine.com/andrew_maniotis.asp. However, we can see another take (a diatribe actually) on the whole situation on this website: www.aidstruth.org/documents/AndrewManiotis.pdf. That is where you will see the strong smear campaign going on regarding Dr. [...]

"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 [...]
