IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION The following segment is excerpted from the March 2011 informational letter received from the National Center for Homeopathy. It’s interesting how these battles continue, and continue to repeat themselves. This is the same battle that was fought over acupuncture back when the Institute first opened its doors in Weston, Ontario those many years ago. I have included this excerpt in this Issue for two reasons: A reminder that our battle continues – that we must remain vigilant in protection of our natural and effective methods of medicine, [...]

“It seems the past months have been sad ones as we have lost more of the “old rabbits” from 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 longtime member and supporter Dr. Moki Uhara from Hawaii. Moki has been a member of the Institute for nearly thirty years. He has traveled to Germany several times on [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
