  • Impressions, Thanks and Quiet Time

    May 21, 2022|Commentaries & Editorials (Articles)|

    March 2022 There was a night recently where thoughts whirled and sleep escaped me. Rather than stew in frustration, I did a “Carolyn” and just sat at my computer in the early hours of a new day and wrote – just notes and thoughts and an attempt to make sense of recent events. It is certainly a turbulent and highly charged time in history. As I’ve mentioned before, I believe this is the time of millennial transition that many expected in those first few years of this 21st century. [...]

  • Philosophy and Exit Strategies

    April 20, 2022|Articles, Commentaries & Editorials (Articles)|

    Birthdays, Philosophy & Exit Strategies With the culmination of the 101st Birthday celebrations and activities for my beloved Mom Catharine, I’ve once again found myself wandering through the newsletters and ever changing information about the virus, the vaccines and the possible resolutions for the health of our families and patients. I’ve stated it before that without a doubt, this is a unique time in history – for conventional medicine, so-called alternative medicine, politics, economics and society as a whole. I am not so prideful and [...]

  • Rhetoric, Politics and . . .

    February 16, 2022|Articles, Commentaries & Editorials (Articles)|

    Rhetoric, Politics, History and Points to Ponder 09 February 2022 These are interesting and maddening times, are they not? But times of change – those moments of Kairos – are certainly never easy to participate in. In recent weeks I’ve had several reminders of the past and of the history that have once again compelled me to put my fingers to the keyboard and “spit it out” as the old saying goes. On the day I began writing, I was filled with optimism. In spite of the promise that [...]

  • A New Year & A New Reality

    January 18, 2022|Articles, Commentaries & Editorials (Articles)|

    January 2022 In a way, so much of the year 2021 was depressing and frustrating, and represented a time when as a people and as practitioners we simply had no control over the events and consequences of the pandemic narrative. I closed my 2021 messages on what I hope was a strong note of optimism. I have come to the understanding that this is the way of our “new reality”. We have come through the transition from pre-pandemic life and have arrived into the present situation that we must [...]

  • History, Foundations and Variants

    December 14, 2021|Commentaries & Editorials (Articles)|

    December 2021 During these final days of 2021 it is difficult to believe and understand the ongoing challenges of the p(l)andemic that have now extended into two years. My interest and curiosity about the history and background of our field has bored many during my lectures, but I still believe Sir Winston Churchill’s words: “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Today, most people hear the news on TV and whether they like our current political leaders or not, are beginning to wonder “what [...]

  • A Domination System?

    November 16, 2021|Commentaries & Editorials (Articles)|

    November 2021 In a talk by Melissa Spas (who serves as the Director of Education and Engagement for an organization called the Lake Institute on Faith and Giving) she commented that “the dominant expectation of our economy is scarcity and competition, and the shadow side of scarcity is greed.” Scarcity, competition and greed – does that ring true for the pandemic situation we are currently facing? Biblical scholar Marcus Borg uses the term “domination system” in his writings, which he says refers to “what is commonly called ‘systemic injustice’ [...]

  • Covid-19 Again

    October 25, 2021|Articles, Commentaries & Editorials (Articles)|

    Early and Post Tx, un-Vax’d and Post-Vax, 5G October 2021 Intro Comments In all the many years I have looked at vaccinations, I have had one straightforward and strong message: Vaccines should never be mandated or required, especially for children. Immunization should always be individually chosen and only after consideration of all aspects of the vaccine – informed consent of the individual, parent or caregiver. The choice for each person to receive a vaccination, should be undertaken under the unbiased (non-peer or dictated) advice of their trusted health practitioner [...]

  • Transformation and Dissent

    September 22, 2021|Commentaries & Editorials (Articles)|

    September 2021 Let me begin with a brief explanation and apology. The weeks of August and early September have been life transforming. My Mom and I managed to safely make our road-trip trek to Edmonton and back home only to find that it will be our last vacation or “escape”. Our Prime Minister called a snap general federal election to be held today (Sept. 20); new outbreaks of COVID have intensified even though nearly 80% of the eligible provincial population has received at least one jab; Health Canada changed [...]

  • To Vaccinate?

    September 22, 2021|Commentaries & Editorials (Articles), Journal Translations (Articles)|

    A Guest Commentary To Vaccinate in Times Like These? A Few Energy Medicine Notes By Ulrike Güdel, MD For 17 months one small virus had us firmly in control. The power of the widespread media pictures of coffins, overcrowded intensive care units and the daily special broadcasts have been embedded into our collective memory, just like the evening hand clapping on balconies for the courageous nurses and orderlies. The fact that thousands of these “heroes” gave up their jobs last year because the working hours [...]

  • Important Links and a Message

    August 23, 2021|Commentaries & Editorials (Articles)|

    August 23, 2021 In spite of the influx of journals, emails and newsletters during my time away from my desk, I have stuck with my determination to avoid doing another translation this month. I have however received a number of very interesting links and commentaries from around the world. It seems that the countries where the most stringent restrictions and most “effective” vaccination campaigns have been waged, are the countries with the most virus challenges during the current times. Here are a few important links from our colleagues. From [...]
