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 [...]

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 [...]

Commentary by Carolyn L. Winsor, September 2008 The following article appeared in my university alumni newsletter earlier this year. It affected me deeply when I read it even though I do not know the author or his family. All of us in this field of biological medicine deal with cancer patients regularly since we have become the “court of last resort” (instead of the first), as they discover their radiation- and chemo- therapies are just not working – and are in fact making them worse and worse. Because we [...]

An Opinion By Russel L. Blaylock, MD Courts in Maryland and the government in New Jersey recently mandated the forced vaccination of their citizens – with threats of imprisonment for those who refuse. I predict that this dictatorial policy will result in thousands of ruined lives. The controversy over vaccine safety ignores one of the strongest associations to disease and poor health: chronic overactivation of immunity, especially the brain’s special immune system. Vaccination is dramatically different from getting an infection naturally. With a natural infection, the body’s immune system [...]

FAQs: Points of Interest! This is a column that has been missing from the past few issues, but with the recent introduction of new instrumentation there has once again been a flurry of phone calls and e-mails asking about these devices and comparisons to other competitive products. I must say I am always reluctant to make comparisons between OIRF recommended instrumentation and the “other guys”. It has always been our philosophy that we should never run down the “other guys” to make our own products [...]

20 December 2007 Dear Mrs. Winsor-Sturm, Already one more year has passed and the year 2007 comes to an end. In a review of the year’s events some special features were prominent from the perspective of the IMGEAV in the old year: The publication of the 2nd volume of the new EAV book, the integration of the IMGEAV into the umbrella organization of the “Society for Empirical Medicine” including the new admission of EAV into the Baden-Baden Medicine Week [Congress], and the turbulence arising around the Secretariat. Perhaps also [...]

Farrah Fawcett Seeks 'Alternative' Cancer Treatment in Germany Farah Fawcett is receiving “alternative treatments” for cancer in Germany – and videotaping the experience for a possible documentary, a close friend of the actress’s tells PEOPLE. Craig Nevius, who produced Fawcett’s reality show Chasing Farrah and who is now overseeing the video project overseas, says that although Fawcett’s cancer has returned, her health has not declined. “She was declared 100 percent cancer free and then it came back,” he says. “She was discouraged by the treatments she got here. The [...]

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 [...]
